In order for Semantic Web applications to be successful a key component should be their ability to take advantage of rich content descriptions in meaningful ways. Reasoning consists a key part in this process and it consequently appears at the core of the Semantic Web architecture stack. From a practical point of view however, it is not always clear how applications may take advantage of the knowledge discovery capabilities that reasoning can offer to the Semantic Web. In this paper we present and survey current methods that can be used to integrate inference-based services with such applications. We argue that an important decision is to have reasoning tasks logically and physically distributed. To this end, we discuss relevant protocols and languages such as DIG and SPARQL and give an overview of our Knowledge Discovery Interface. Further, we describe the lessons-learned from remotely invoking reasoning services through the OWL API.

Content providers are often accused of free riding by exploiting the network to distribute their content without sharing their revenues with the network providers. In order to assess the correctness of such an accusation, we set up a game-theoretical model, where content providers releasing their contents for free and under the payment of a usage-based charge are both present. In this model, the network provider charges both content providers a usage-based charge (network charge) as well. The network provider and the paid content provider act as the players, using the respective retail prices as strategic leverages. Both the cases where network charges are set by the network provider and by a regulatory authority are examined. The Nash equilibrium is determined in a closed form. In a typical scenario, the solution represented by zero network charges maximizes both the network provider's revenues and the social welfare: free riding for content providers appears as the best choice under both the viewpoints of the selfish network provider and the regulatory authority.

In public vs. private solutions (i.e. Cloud vs. In-house, or leased vs. Owned) for storage, both alternatives have their pros and cons. Cloud storage can easily adapt to the company needs, but exhibits a higher unit cost than in-house solutions. On the other hand, if the company relies on its own storage equipment, it must periodically purchase it on the basis of forecasts, which may prove imprecise and lead to idle equipment. In this paper, we propose a comparative evaluation tool for the two procurement approaches, where the cloud can play the role of either exclusive storage medium or supplement to in-house equipment (in the case of underestimation of storage needs). The tool considers the impact of equipment acquisition intervals and forecast accuracy over a long time horizon, adopting a Geometric Brownian Motion model for the evolution of storage capacity needs, it can be employed as a decision support tool for procurement decisions.

Many traditional adaptive web based systems today are complex in its design and implementation which makes them hard to implement in general purpose web sites. The lack of efficient approach and adaptation al- gorithm makes their usage in isolated cases like: e-commerce sites or only education systems. In this paper we introduce a new adaptation algorithm based on web sites link structure and document similarities both represented through matrices. Initial results show good performance of the algorithm for both per-user based adaptation and adaptation for groups of users.

Large combinational circuits need to be partitioned in order to manage scarce resources on k-LUT based FPGAs . Circuit partitioning has multiple applications in VLSI design. One of the most common is that of dividing combinational circuits (usually large ones) that will not fit on a single package among a number of packages. Partitioning is of practical importance for k- LUT based FPGA circuit implementation. In this work is presented a multilevel multi-resource partitioning algorithm for partitioning large combinational circuits using cone-clusters in order to efficiently map existing and commercially available k -LUT based FPGAs packages.

In this paper we address the Phase Retrieval problem, which aims to recover the phase of the Fourier transform of a signal when only magnitude measurements are available. Following recent developments in Phase Retrieval, the problem can be transformed into a convex semidefinite programming optimization problem, which can be solved using Matrix Completion techniques. In this paper the acquisition process is modeled using a likelihood function, which splits the original problem into two convex optimization problems, and alternates between the solution of each of them. To relate both convex problems we introduce a heuristic, which results in fast convergence of the proposed method.

This paper proposes the V/sub B5.2/ interface as a basis for the definition of the generic Iu interface. The architecture of the emerging network that incorporates a third generation mobile system (UMTS) service node (SN), and any kind of access network (AN) technology, fixed or wireless, over the proposed V/sub B5.2/ oriented generic interface, is presented. The mapping of the call/connection control (CC) related messages, needed for the manipulation of connections, with the involvement of the broadband bearer connection control protocol (B-BCCP), is formed in a generic approach. The paper concludes pointing out possible enhancements to the existing V/sub B5.2/ interface, and mainly to the B-BCCP, in order to play effectively the role as a candidate of the Iu generic interface.
