The Evolution Of Intelligent Computer Software And The Semantic Web, Jens G. Pohl
The Evolution Of Intelligent Computer Software And The Semantic Web, Jens G. Pohl
Collaborative Agent Design (CAD) Research Center
The purpose of this paper is to trace the evolution of intelligent software from data-centric applications that essentially encapsulate their data environment to ontology-based applications with automated reasoning capabilities. The author draws a distinction between human intelligence and component capabilities within a more general definition of intelligence, which may be embedded in computer software. The primary vehicle in the quest for intelligent software has been the gradual recognition of the central role played by data and information, rather than the logic and functionality of the application. The three milestones in this evolution have been: the separation of data management from …
Plone And Content Management, George K. Thiruvathukal, Konstantin Läufer
Plone And Content Management, George K. Thiruvathukal, Konstantin Läufer
Computer Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works
In this column, the authors look at Plone, which they feel is one of the best content management systems available today. Even better, it?s distributed under a free open-source license: the cost of getting started is only limited to the time you have available to set up the software on a server. Plone is written in Python and uses the Zope application server infrastructure; it runs on most modern operating systems. The authors have even set it up at Loyola University Chicago in the Department of Computer Science. Besides being two faculty members who rely on Plone to host all …
Natural Xml For Data Binding, Processing, And Persistence, George K. Thiruvathukal, Konstantin Läufer
Natural Xml For Data Binding, Processing, And Persistence, George K. Thiruvathukal, Konstantin Läufer
Computer Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works
The article explains what you need to do to incorporate XML directly into your computational science application. The exploration involves the use of a standard parser to automatically build object trees entirely from application-specific classes. This discussion very much focuses on object-oriented programming languages such as Java and Python, but it can work for non-object-oriented languages as well. The ideas in the article provide a glimpse into the Natural XML research project.
Xml In Computational Science, George K. Thiruvathukal
Xml In Computational Science, George K. Thiruvathukal
Computer Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works
In this first article in a series about XML in computational science, I present some background and lightweight examples of XML usage, describe some XML component frameworksalong with their purpose and applicability to computational science, and discuss some technical obstacles to overcome for the language to be taken seriously in computational science.
