Toward Self-Organising Service Communities

This paper discusses a framework in which catalog service communities are built, linked for interaction, and constantly monitored and adapted over time. A catalog service community (represented as a peer node in a peer-to-peer network) in our system can be viewed as domain specific data integration mediators representing the domain knowledge and the registry information. The query routing among communities is performed to identify a set of data sources that are relevant to answering a given query. The system monitors the interactions between the communities to discover patterns that may lead to restructuring of the network (e.g., irrelevant peers removed, new relationships created, etc.)

Climate data system supports FIRE

The NASA Climate Data System (NCDS) at Goddard Space Flight Center is serving as the FIRE Central Archive, providing a centralized data holding and data cataloging service for the FIRE project. NCDS members are carrying out their responsibilities by holding all reduced observations and data analysis products submitted by individual principal investigators in the agreed upon format, by holding all satellite data sets required for FIRE, by providing copies of any of these data sets to FIRE investigators, and by producing and updating a catalog with information about the FIRE holdings. FIRE researchers were requested to provide their reduced data sets in the Standard Data Format (SDF) to the FIRE Central Archive. This standard format is proving to be of value. An improved SDF document is now available. The document provides an example from an actual FIRE SDF data set and clearly states the guidelines for formatting data in SDF. NCDS has received SDF tapes from a number of investigators. These tapes were analyzed and comments provided to the producers. One product which is now available is William J. Syrett's sodar data product from the Stratocumulus Intensive Field Observation. Sample plots from all SDF tapes submitted to the archive will be available to FSET members. Related cloud products are also available through NCDS. Entries describing the FIRE data sets are being provided for the NCDS on-line catalog. Detailed information for the Extended Time Observations is available in the general FIRE catalog entry. Separate catalog entries are being written for the Cirrus Intensive Field Observation (IFO) and for the Marine Stratocumulus IFO. Short descriptions of each FIRE data set will be installed into the NCDS Summary Catalog

Where Will the Catalog Go?

For over a century the catalog has been the core component of most library’s service strategies. As we move from a world based on print documents to one where most information is digital and networked, libraries must reconstruct their service strategies and the role the catalog plays in them. In doing so it is important to understand what types of navigational tools will best serve the users. We need to create these tool rather than attempting to fit digital and networked documents into the print-based forms of bibliographic control

Mass Customization in Wireless Communication Services: Individual Service Bundles and Tariffs

This paper presents results on mass customization of wireless communications services and tariffs. It advocates for a user-centric view of wireless service configuration and pricing as opposed to present-day service catalog options. The focus is on design methodology and tools for such individual services and tariffs, using altogether information compression, negotiation algorithms, and risk portfolio analysis. We first analyze the user and supplier needs and aspirations. We then introduce the systematic design-oriented approach which can be applied. The implications of this approach for users and suppliers are discussed based on an end-user survey and on model-based calculations. It is shown that users can achieve desired service bundle cost reduction, while suppliers can improve significantly their risk-profit equilibrium points, reduce churn and simplify provisioning.negotiation;mass customization;service configuration;mobile communication services;individual tariffs

Perancangan on line public access catalog (OPAC) system berbasis intranet

ABSTRACT Up to now, the catalog information service of field research report (LKP) and thesis (TGA) at the Department of Physical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Gadjah Mada University is managed manually. Considering the fact that the library trend in the future is a network based library, suitable electronic library development is very important. Therefore, design of the OPAC system (Online Public Access Catalog) is directed to computerize and to make the catalog information could be accessed by all computers in local area network (OPAC based on LAN). The OPAC based on LAN is designed by using Microsoft Visual Basic Program, 6.0 Enterprise Edition. By using OPAC system, students, lecturers and others users can find any catalog information about LKP and TGA on their computer (work station) that connected to the local area network quickly.

Pengelolaan Layanan Sistem Kehadiran Kerja Dosen Berbasis ITIL Versi 3.0

Quality is something that becomes a reference in assessing something. Good performance is always associated with good quality, so that good data and information management will have an impact on good performance in order to meet the desired quality. This research aims to apply the principles of the information technology service management framework based on ITIL version 3.0 into the context of managing the development of a lecturer attendance system service within the Faculty of Computers at Universal University. Through the service design domain, this research succeeded in developing recommendations for service system development in the aspects of service catalog management, capacity management, availability management, information technology service sustainability management, and information security management.
