An approach to personalized search within distributed repository of visual data

In this paper, we introduce functional assumptions of the distributed repository of visual data that are one of key aspects of SYNAT framework for digital libraries. The proposed system will provide innovative tools and extend capabilities of current repositories. Within this task, the personalized search system is discussed. Especially three different approaches were proposed for this system, such as: CF, CBF and DF. Idea behind personalization is that there is currently lack of such functionality whereas end users would benefit from it

StreamOnTheFly: a Peer-to-peer network for radio stations and podCasters

The StreamOnTheFly network demonstrates new ways of management and personalisation technologies for audio. The architecture is based on a decentralized network of software components using automatic metadata replication in a peer-to-peer manner. The network also promotes a new common metadata schema and content exchange format. Content reuse and content exchange is made possible by StreamOnTheFly in several use cases

Contra generative AI detection in higher education assessments

This paper presents a critical analysis of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) detection tools in higher education assessments. The rapid advancement and widespread adoption of generative AI, particularly in education, necessitates a reevaluation of traditional academic integrity mechanisms. We explore the effectiveness, vulnerabilities, and ethical implications of AI detection tools in the context of preserving academic integrity. Our study synthesises insights from various case studies, newspaper articles, and student testimonies to scrutinise the practical and philosophical challenges associated with AI detection. We argue that the reliance on detection mechanisms is misaligned with the educational landscape, where AI plays an increasingly widespread role. This paper advocates for a strategic shift towards robust assessment methods and educational policies that embrace generative AI usage while ensuring academic integrity and authenticity in assessments

Emerging Informatics

The book on emerging informatics brings together the new concepts and applications that will help define and outline problem solving methods and features in designing business and human systems. It covers international aspects of information systems design in which many relevant technologies are introduced for the welfare of human and business systems. This initiative can be viewed as an emergent area of informatics that helps better conceptualise and design new world-class solutions. The book provides four flexible sections that accommodate total of fourteen chapters. The section specifies learning contexts in emerging fields. Each chapter presents a clear basis through the problem conception and its applicable technological solutions. I hope this will help further exploration of knowledge in the informatics discipline

Open research issues on multi-models for complex technological systems

Abstract -We are going to report here about state of the art works on multi-models for complex technological systems both from the theoretical and practical point of view. A variety of algorithmic approaches (k-mean, dss, etc.) and applicative domains (wind farms, neurological diseases, etc.) are reported to illustrate the extension of the research area

Towards the integration of digital library applications via web services for use in a scientific workspace

"Our project 'Generic Portals' focuses on the possibilities and problems created by the usage of web-technologies to support web-based Digital Library applications. We observe a divergence of services in the sphere of structured resources and scientific libraries' services. Publications in the form of digital resources have introduced new dynamics into the information exchange in the scientific communities. The changes in the publication process are formed by so-called structured resources, whereas the resource can be seen as an encapsulated object. For the exchange of information we have only to know the interface of the structured resource in detail. W3C has published a working draft which includes a language named Web Service Description Language (WSDL) for describing interfaces of services. A Web service interface is a shared connection between functional components of applications. We consider the requirements for the integration of DL-applications via Web services. We present an adapted process model for supply of DL-oriented Web services. Further we present a component-based approach to relate researchers' activities to so-called DL-oriented Web services. We obtain criteria for the description of DL-oriented Web services based on the researchers' working process. Finally, we present a brief overview what kind of Web technologies might be reused for a prototypical implementation of DL-oriented Web services." (author's abstract

Digital Humanities: Challenges of the Transformation of Tools and Objects of Knowledge in Contemporary Humanities

This paper aims to sketch some bases for the problematization of digital tools as objects of knowledge for Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH). Our purpose is to raise some relevant questions about the Digital Humanities (DH) and how SSH and Computer Sciences (CS) can work together to face new challenges. We discuss some tension points and propose a model for SSH and CS collaboration for joint projects in cultural digitization
