Information on the structure of molecules, retrieved via biochemical databases, plays a pivotal role in various disciplines, such as metabolomics, systems biology, and drug discovery. However, no such database can be complete, and the chemical ...

• CAD models enrichment by annotations in PLM context.
• Literature review on CAD ...

The proposed approach in the paper is dedicated to enrichment of CAD models storage in PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) systems or archive databases. The paper considers low level CAD models (i.e. frozen geometry and without CAD ...

Given the rapid development of dehazing image algorithms, selecting the optimal algorithm based on multiple criteria is crucial in determining the efficiency of an algorithm. However, a sufficient number of criteria must be considered when ...

• Speech data in legislation.
• Standards on biometric information protection.
• Speaker recognition, for the non-expert.
• Technology survey: data privacy for speech and speaker recognition.
• Proposed harmonised evaluation ...

Speech recordings are a rich source of personal, sensitive data that can be used to support a plethora of diverse applications, from health profiling to biometric recognition. It is therefore essential that speech recordings are adequately ...

Corpus-based Translation Studies have promoted research on the features of translated language, by focusing on the process and product of translation, from a descriptive perspective. Some of these features have been proposed by Toury [31] under ...

• Methods exist for checking whether and how a particular product can be manufactured.

When producing complex and highly customisable products in low volumes (or in ‘batch sizes of one’), automation of production systems is critical for competitiveness and profitability in high labour-cost economies. To facilitate batch-...

This short paper outlines a project on SST accessibility conducted by Funka on behalf of the Norwegian Agency for Public Management and eGovernment (Difi). The aim of the project was to establish a set of usable guidelines for the accessible ...

Professions in computer science are constantly changing and developing. Nevertheless, some fundamental working processes remain despite of this process of change. These working processes include competencies and skills a computer specialist has to deal ...

In discussions of the quality and safety problems of modern, Western health care, one of the most frequently heard criticisms has been that: "It is not standardised". This paper explores issues around standardisation that illustrate its surprising ...

The paper presents the results of statistical analyses of ICT innovations on the examples of global and local standardisation. PDCA and methodology of statistical research were applied. Relying on the original research, ICT innovations were analysed in ...

The paper addresses intelligent sensor networks (ISNs) as a special version of networked wireless robotics. The success of these networks is partly explained by the technical advances, but as well by cutting down costs of these networks. Using a ...

This empirically grounded article focuses on the standardisation of the mobile accessible Web by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). It demonstrates what were the different points of departure for the institutions of different kinds (telecommunications ...

Context: Knowledge transfer is an important responsibility of universities and research institutes as part of their contribution to society. In the field of software engineering, several studies have been performed to show the influence of research in ...

Starting from experience of working with Japanese Quality Gurus, and decades of industrial consultancy, this article addresses the fundamental principles of the Quality Movement and suggests ways forward for Quality as empowerment, led from education. ...

More than a decade has passed since research on automatic recognition of emotion from speech has become a new field of research in line with its 'big brothers' speech and speaker recognition. This article attempts to provide a short overview on where we ...

The Cell Cycle Ontology CCO has the aim to provide a 'one stop shop' for scientists interested in the biology of the cell cycle that would like to ask questions from a molecular and/or systems perspective: what are the genes, proteins, and so on ...

The continuing absence of innovation in Europe's mobile services industry is identified and characterised here, with such examples as mobile Internet and mobile music. Innovation failure is a critical factor leading to a lack of high-income jobs, ...

The paper reports findings of a project that aimed at making initial recommendations on how the standards setting processes for the Internet of Things can be adapted to provide for a level playing field for all stakeholders. To this end, the opinions of ...

The Web no longer defines itself through pre-build web pages simply delivered by a web server. Today, web-based services exchange data with Rich Internet Applications, which run completely inside the web browser or on mobile devices. The service front ...

When designing complex systems, mechanisms for structuring, composing, and reusing system components are crucial. Today, there are many approaches for equipping Petri nets with such mechanisms. In the context of defining a standard interchange format ...
