Abstract

An epistemology, based in the information that rules our lives, is stated - Informationism - Information, or perhaps the message, reaches the brain as tiny impulses - quanta or useful information -, hitting and activating the neurones; as a consequence becoming quanta of useful information. The physical, psychic and pragmatic, etc. connotations of information are studied, including its energetic aspect; within a Cosmo vision. Among other matters, human neural evolution due to information is studied. Other neural information theories are also studied. Some definitions of information are quoted, as well as its connotations and peculiarities.

Abstract

The Ovid Java interface is compared with the Ovid Web Gateway and Ovid Windows Client, focusing on functionality from the user's perspective. The Java version draws upon both earlier Web and Windows versions, thus combining the worlds of the Web and application programs. It is concluded that Ovid Java offers enhanced functionality and requires high-end hardware and browser software to run well. Additional enhancements are forthcoming, some dependent upon the further development of Sun Microsystems' Java programming language

Abstract

Komplexe Aufgaben und Probleme werden heute üblicherweise im Team bearbeitet und gelöst. Das gilt insbesondere für Softwareprojekte, denn die Entwicklung komplexer Softwaresysteme findet heutzutage meistens arbeitsteilig in - zunehmend räumlich verteilten - Teams statt. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird zum einen ein rollenbasiertes Konzept vorgestellt, das virtuellen Lernteams bei der Zusammenarbeit einen virtuellen Tutor zur Seite stellt, der dem Team im Rahmen von Rollendefiziten adaptierte Hilfestellung bietet und so die Lerneffektivität unterstützt. Zum anderen wird gezeigt, wie das Zusammenspiel zweier spezialisierter Systeme (VitaminL und K3) im Kontext des Blended Learning echte Mehrwerte in E-Learning-Szenarien bringen kann. Die in Benutzertests und einer Lehrveranstaltung ermittelten Evaluierungsergebnisse lassen auf die Tragfähigkeit des rollenbasierten, tutoriellen Konzepts schließen und decken gleichzeitig großes Weiterentwicklungpotenzial auf.

Das Internet boomt. Rund um den Globus basteln etablierte EDV-Konzerne und Branchenneulinge an Hard- und Software für das Netz der Netze. Glaubt man den Auguren, läutet seine Beliebtheit eine Revolution in der Informationstechnik ein. Der Ära der Großrechner und der Personalcomputer soll ein Zeitalter folgen, in dem 'das Netz der Computer' ist. Wer dann die Fäden ziehen wird, ist längst nicht ausgemacht. Ob herkömmliche PC mit ihren Programmen die Spinne im Netz bleiben oder neue Geräte und Software sich breitmachen, darüber wird derzeit lebhaft diskutiert

Abstract

Purpose - The authors exploit the analogy between journal peer review and information retrieval in order to quantify some imperfections of journal peer review. Design/methodology/approach - The authors define fallout rate and missing rate in order to describe quantitatively the weak papers that were accepted and the strong papers that were missed, respectively. To assess the quality of manuscripts the authors use bibliometric measures. Findings - Fallout rate and missing rate are put in relation with the hitting rate and success rate. Conclusions are drawn on what fraction of weak papers will be accepted in order to have a certain fraction of strong accepted papers. Originality/value - The paper illustrates that these curves are new in peer review research when interpreted in the information retrieval terminology.

Abstract

A detailed description of how to use Java applets and Common Gateway Interface (CGI)/Dynamic Link Library (DLL) programs for Web publication of textual databases. The advantages of Java applets include low cost, flexible and visually appealing search interfaces, and the ability to be embedded in HTML pages, eliminating the need for Internet service provider permissions for their use. Highlights the FindIt family of Java applets from DoubleOLogic as one of the best product lines in the category. CGI programs may be written in Perl, Java, or some other language, and like DLL programs, must be installed on the server side. Notes that small-scale CGI and DLL applications cost from $150 to $8,000. Highlights Insight from Enigma Inc. as an excellent program at the high end of the cost range

Abstract

Most books on the Internet describe it from the user's end. This one, however, is unique in its focus on serving information on the WWW. It presents everything from the basics to advanced techniques and will thus prove invaluable to site administrators and developers. The author - an expert developer and researcher at UCSD - covers such topics as HTML 3.0, serving documents, interfaces, WWW utilities and browsers such as Netscape. Fisher also includes an introduction to programming with JAVA and JAVA sript, as well as the complete VRML 1.0 specification

Abstract

Discusses drawbacks of the Java programming language, and proposes some potential improvements for concurrent object-oriented software development. Java's passive object model does not provide an effective means for building distributed applications, critical for the future of Web-based next-generation information systems. Suggests improvements to Java's existing mechanisms for maintaining consistency across multiple threads, sending asynchronous messages and controlling resources. Drives the discussion with examples and suggestions from work on the Actor model of computation

Abstract

This paper proposes the use of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) as a language for modelling ontologies for Web resources and the knowledge contained within them. To provide a mechanism for serialising and processing object diagrams representing knowledge, a pair of XSI-T stylesheets have been developed to map from XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) encodings of class diagrams to corresponding RDF schemas and to Java classes representing the concepts in the ontologies. The Java code includes methods for marshalling and unmarshalling object-oriented information between in-memory data structures and RDF serialisations of that information. This provides a convenient mechanism for Java applications to share knowledge on the Web

Abstract

Prelude: Some Science Fiction on the Ultimate Answer and The Ultimate Question Many many millions of years ago a race of hyperintelligent pan-dimensional beings (whose physical manifestation in their own pan-dimensional universe is not dissimilar to our own) got so fed up with the constant bickering about the meaning of life which used to interrupt their favourite pastime of Brockian Ultra Cricket (a curious game which involved suddenly hitting people for no readily apparent reason and then running away) that they decided to sit down and solve their problems once and for all. And to this end they built themselves a stupendous super computer . 'O Deep Thought computer', Fook said, 'the task we have designed you to perform is this. We want you to tell us . ' he paused, 'the Answer!' 'The Answer?' said Deep Thought. 'The Answer to what?' 'Life!' urged Fook. 'The Universe!' said Lunkwill. 'Everything!' they said in chorus. (At this point the whole procedure is interrupted by two representatives of the 'Amalgamated Union of Philosophers, Sages, Luminaries and Other Thinking Persons' who demand to switch off the machine because it endangers their jobs. They demand 'rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!', and threaten: 'You'll have a national Philosopher's strike on your hands!' . . . )
