Modelling domain knowledge using explicit conceptualization

Applications are characterized by the tasks and domains involved. Knowledge modeling can be divided into two conceptual subactivities: modeling the task and modeling the domain knowledge. An explicit conceptualization of the domain knowledge at the heart of its organization is discussed. A conceptualization is the objects presumed to exist and the relationships and functions among them. The annotations and the conceptualization guide the construction of applications and support flexible reasoning during problem solving. It also lets domain knowledge be reused

Measurement of optical to electrical and electrical to optical delays with ps-level uncertainty

We present a new measurement principle to determine the absolute time delay of a waveform from an optical reference plane to an electrical reference plane and vice versa. We demonstrate a method based on this principle with 2 ps uncertainty. This method can be used to perform accurate time delay determinations of optical transceivers used in fibre-optic time-dissemination equipment. As a result the time scales in optical and electrical domain can be related to each other with the same uncertainty. We expect this method to break new grounds in high-accuracy time transfer and absolute calibration of time-transfer equipment
