Formulating unambiguous queries in the Semantic Web applications is a challenging task for users. This article presents a new approach in guiding users to formulate clear requests based on their common nature of querying for information. The approach known as the front-end ap proach gives users an overview about the system data through a vir tual data component which stores the extracted metadata of the data storage sources in the form of an ontology. This approach reduces the ambiguities in users’ requests at a very early stage and allows the query process to effectively perform in fulfilling users’ demands in a context-aware manner. Furthermore, the approach provides a powerful query engine, called context-aware query ing, that recommends the appropriate query patterns according to the user’s querying context.

Processing Architectures

Modern digital photo collections contain vast multitudes of high-resolution color images, many containing faces, which are desirable to retrieve visually. This poses a problem for effective image browsing and calls for efficient Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) capabilities ensuring near-instantaneous visual query turn-around. This in turn necessitates parallelization of many existing image processing and information retrieval algorithms that can no longer satisfy the modern user demands, when executed sequentially. Hence a practical approach to Face Image Retrieval (FIR) is presented. It utilizes multi-core processing architectures to implement its major modules (e.g. face detection and matching) efficiently without sacrificing the image retrieval accuracy. The integration of FIR into a web-based family reunification system demonstrates the practicality of the proposed method. Several accuracy and speed evaluations on real-word data are presented and possible CBIR extensions are discussed.

By Products

Deep Web is growing rapidly. More than 90% of relevant information in web comes from deep Web. Users are usually interested by products which satisfy their needs at the best prices and quality of service .Hence, user’s needs concerns not only one service but many competitive services at the same time. However, for commercial reasons, there is no way to compare all web services products. Each web service is a black box which accepts queries through its own query interface and returns results. As consequence, users ask separately different web services and spend a lot of time comparing products in order to find the best one. This is a burden for novice users. In this paper, the authors propose a new approach which integrates query interfaces of many web services into one universal web service. The new interface describes visually the universal query and is used to ask many web services at the same time. The authors have evaluated their approach on standard datasets and have proved good performances.

Tailored Approach

Mobile tools are increasingly available to help individuals monitor their progress toward health behavior goals. Commonly known commercial products for health and fitness self-monitoring include wearable devices such as the Fitbit© and Nike + Pedometer© that work independently or in conjunction with mobile platforms (e.g., smartphones, media players) as well as web-based interfaces. These tools track and graph exercise behavior, provide motivational messages, offer health-related information, and allow users to share their accomplishments via social media. Approximately 2 million software programs or “apps” have been designed for mobile platforms (Pure Oxygen Mobile, 2013), many of which are health-related. The development of mobile health devices and applications is advancing so quickly that the Food and Drug Administration issued a Guidance statement with the purpose of defining mobile medical applications and describing a tailored approach to their regulation.
