A Semantic Grid Oriented to E-Tourism

With increasing complexity of tourism business models and tasks, there is a clear need of the next generation e-Tourism infrastructure to support flexible automation, integration, computation, storage, and collaboration. Currently several enabling technologies such as semantic Web, Web service, agent and grid computing have been applied in the different e-Tourism applications, however there is no a unified framework to be able to integrate all of them. So this paper presents a promising e-Tourism framework based on emerging semantic grid, in which a number of key design issues are discussed including architecture, ontologies structure, semantic reconciliation, service and resource discovery, role based authorization and intelligent agent. The paper finally provides the implementation of the framework.Comment: 12 PAGES, 7 Figure

Electronic Correlations Near a Peierls-CDW Transition

Results of a phenomenological Monte carlo calculation for a 2D electron-phonon Holstein model near a Peierls-CDW transition are presented. Here the zero Matsubara frequency part of the phonon action is dominant and we approximated it by a phenomenological form that as an Ising-like Peierls-CDW transition. The resulting model is studied on a 32 by 32 lattice. The single particle spectral weight A(k,\omega), the density of states N(\omega), and the real part of the conductivity \sigma_1(\omega) all show evidence of a pseudogap which develops in the low-energy electronic degrees of freedom as the Peierls-CDW transition is approachedComment: 14 pages, 7 figure
