Where is sequence likely to take biology in the near future? Sequence is not going away: next-generation sequencing machines are making more and more sequence and more and more data an increasingly ...taken-for-granted part of biology. The ways in which this increasingly massive amount of data managed are likely to become ever more entangled with the management of data in other domains, especially with Web-based technology. Bioinformatics will become just one of many data management problems. This will have consequences not only for biological work, but also – as the results of bioinformatics are deployed in medicine – consequences for our understanding of our bodies. These computational approaches may become so ubiquitous that a ‘bioinformatics’ – as distinct from other kinds of biology – will disappear as a meaningful term of reference.
Towards query optimization for the data web Hawash, Ala'; Deik, Anton; Farraj, Bilal ...

Companies, Communities, Research Labs, and even Governments are all competing on publishing structured data in the web in many forms such as RDF and XML. Many Datasets are now being published and ...linked together, including Wikipedia, Yago, DBLP, IEEE, IBM, Flickr, and US and UK government data. Most of these datasets are published in RDF which is a graph-based data model. However, querying RDF graphs is a major problem which has brought the attention of the research community. Among the many approaches proposed to tune up the performance of queries over data graphs, a number of them proposed to summarize RDF graphs for query optimization; instead of querying a dataset, queries are executed over the summary of the dataset. In order to summarize a dataset, two well known algorithms are being used, namely, Trace Equivalence and Bisimilarity. Nevertheless, these are memory based and thus suffer from scalability problems because of the limitations imposed by the memory. In this paper, we propose disk-based versions of those memory-based algorithms and we adapt them to RDF data. Our proposed algorithms are experimented on relatively large datasets and using different sizes of memory to prove that they are indeed disk based.
Current visions about the Internet of the future require an evolution in the way distributed applications are designed, implemented, and deployed, moving from top-down approaches that generate ...partial, static (business) process descriptions
to holistic approaches where both the participants and their surrounding environment are modeled. Such approaches will
empower distributed applications with the ability to flexibly adapt their behavior to environmental changes, being able to identify opportunities and recover from unexpected failures or market switches.
In this chapter we have presented a holistic approach based on organizational theory. The ALIVE framework aims to support the design and development of distributed systems
suitable for such highly dynamic environments, is based on model-driven engineering, and consists of three interconnected levels: service, oordination, and organization.

The recent Web technology has been developed by three mainsprings which include integration, virtualization, and socialization. The Web technology provides the increment of the social networking ...ability. However it deepens the exposure of privacy about personal information as more complicating and difficult problems. Representatively, it is impossible to define and manage the specific relation, so the personal information and interest can be inferred from collecting and summarizing the contents. Also, there are some problems that it is hard to construct the information owner's own social network. Thus this paper proposes the new access control model which enhances the user privacy of the existing access control methods in web 2.0. This method prevents privacy such as personal inclination from being exposed and enables to define and manage the specific relation. By doing this the information owners can construct their social network. This social network can be applied and extended to Web contents.
Arabic model for semantic web 3.0 Isbaitan, Omar; Al-Wahidi, Huda

By The end of the twentieth century mankind started practicing a new era; the Knowledge/Information Era; this was as a revolution in our life leaded and controlled by information and communication ...technologies.
This revolution enable us to understand ourselves and started to form as new evolution for the mankind, by showing the important and the role of information in our life and this gave us a strong evidence that "information revolution is our next evolution" and that we are converting to information bit by bit.
This paper is saying that the semantic Web 3.0 is leading this development as it will cross reference the following four technologies; fuzzy-logic, neural network, NLP and agents.
The Arabic language is far away from the Web third generation, Semantic Web 3.0, and unless some actions has been taken Arabic Web contents will be out of scope for the new semantic search engines and the knowledge era.
Then discuss the issues related to the "Meaning" concept or simply reveal, what is "Meaning"?
Finally a model for representing the Arabic contents will be proposed in a form that can be handled by semantic services and semantic search engines in triples form using RDF/OWL language.
As a result of the rapid progress of computer technology in recent decades, researchers from different areas have adopted artificial intelligence to develop computer-aided instruction systems and ...diagnostic tools for the assessment of learning and cognition. Referring to the central questions on “What is knowledge?” and “How can we assess knowledge?” this introductory chapter will focus on some essentials of computer-based diagnostics of knowledge and cognition. First, some basic ideas of educational diagnostics and diagnoses are described, resulting in a distinction between “responsive” and “constructive” approaches of knowledge assessment. In the subsequent sections, computer-based procedures are described with regard to both approaches. They presuppose the application of external representations grounded on the semantics of natural language. The next section of this introduction focuses on computer-based and agent-based methodologies of knowledge diagnosis as a central component of automatic diagnostic systems. The final section will provide a brief preview of the major topics of this volume.

Average information workers spend most of their time for searching, analyzing, reformatting and consolidating information. The recent advent of service-oriented architectures (SOA) built on Web ...services is a first attempt to streamline respectively automate those tasks in order to increase productivity. SOAP-based services work well within a company and are thus mainly used to for the integration of legacy systems which have not been built to be Web-friendly or to make new systems more flexible for changing requirements in business ecosystems. Nevertheless, the utopian promise of uniform service interface standards, metadata and universal service registries, in the form of the SOAP, WSDL and UDDI standards have proven elusive. Instead, for Internet-scale applications, lightweight REST-based architectures which gained a lot of momentum recently provide a number of important advantages such as better scalability, reliability and visibility and are thus the preferred choice for Internet-scale applications. Despite the foreseeable potential, the increasing interest on and growing acceptance of lightweight services, there are still problems on formal describing, finding and orchestrating services as well as a lack of a holistic framework covering the entire service lifecycle. This paper focuses on an extensive survey comparing the traditional SOAP-based architecture to the emergent lightweight REST-based architectural style as a first step towards a framework proposal.

The grand vision of Tim Barners-Lee, director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) founded in 1994, of changing the nonsemantic Web (Web 1.0, Web 2.0) to semantic Web (Web 3.0) will connect all the ...Web sites and will make their systems interoperable. Though this system has not been fully matured yet, the goal of utilizing the full potential of the Web by creating an interoperable knowledge whole is not far from reach. With the emergence of various Web technologies and innovative concepts of using the Web to its fullest potential, the Web is evolving fast toward an intelligent Web systems. Ideally the intelligent Web systems will be a combination of a semantic Web and various Web services where the computers can automatically process the Web contents and integrate their services. This paper reports which Web technologies and protocols succeeded in realizing the current Web and speculate what is going to be the possible future Web architecture and its social impact.
