Overview of Digital Library Components and Developments

Digital libraries are being built upon a firm foundation of prior work as the high-end information systems of the future. A component architecture approach is becoming popular, with well established support for key components like the repository, especially through the Open Archives Initiative. We consider digital objects, metadata, harvesting, indexing, searching, browsing, rights management, linking, and powerful interfaces. Flexible interaction will be possible through a variety of architectures, using buses, agents, and other technologies. The field as a whole is undergoing rapid growth, supported by advances in storage, processing, networking, algorithms, and interaction. There are many initiatives and developments, including those supporting education, and these will certainly be of benefit in Latin America

Image databases: Problems and perspectives

With the increasing number of computer graphics, image processing, and pattern recognition applications, economical storage, efficient representation and manipulation, and powerful and flexible query languages for retrieval of image data are of paramount importance. These and related issues pertinent to image data bases are examined

Constructing Survey and Decision Support Systems:Sociocultural, Methodological, and User Oriented Perspectives

This paper proposes the new idea of \u27Survey and Decision Support Systems(SDSS).\u27 SDSS will improve the existing systems of Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) and Computer-Assisted Survey Information Collection(CASIC).In constructing SDSS, three perspectives are considered: Sociocultural, Methodological, and User Oriented.These Perspectives will provide a reference framework to run cross-cultural surveys.The SDSS consists of 4 systems:1.Sampling Decision Support System. 2.Measurement and Questionnaire Design Support System.3.Group Interviewing Management Information System. 4.Data analysis and Decision Support Syste

Design Web-Based of Hajj Registration System for Iraq

In the 21st century, the internet and web-Based systems represent the primary strategic resources in the world. Majority population of the world use it every day and everywhere without exception. This study proposes to design a web-based registration for pilgrims in Iraq. In order to give all Iraqi citizens accessibility to make the registration available even properly, easily, and without tiredness. The main problems facing the organizers of this event in Iraq are due to two issues. The first one is the manual usage it is difficult to trace if hajj registered more than once. Secondly, it will take a long time for the potential pilgrims to know about the date and schedule for travel. This system will use the national number and passport number to login in the system and to register with prevents duplication happen. The pilgrim would also be able to be connected to SMS to know date and time for travel. The system will be developed by using UML to analysis and JSP with SQL server 2008 to create the registration system. Finally, it is very important to design an electronic system. That will enable the Iraqi citizens to register in the system in anytime and anywhere toward give more accurate information

Workshop on NASA workstation technology

RIACS hosted a workshop which was designed to foster communication among those people within NASA working on workstation related technology, to share technology, and to learn about new developments and futures in the larger university and industrial workstation communities. Herein, the workshop is documented along with its conclusions. It was learned that there is both a large amount of commonality of requirements and a wide variation in the modernness of in-use technology among the represented NASA centers
