[en] A MODEL AND AN INTERACTIVE SYSTEM FOR PLOT COMPOSITION AND ADAPTATION, BASED ON PLAN RECOGNITION AND PLAN GENERATION / [pt] UM MODELO E UM SISTEMA INTERATIVO PARA COMPOSIÇÃO E ADAPTAÇÃO DE ENREDOS, BASEADOS EM RECONHECIMENTO E GERAÇÃO DE PLANOS

BORJE FELIPE FERNANDES KARLSSON 18 March 2010 (has links)
[pt] Este trabalho tem por alvo um modelo e um sistema interativo para a composição e adaptação de enredos, com base em um paradigma de reconhecimento de planos / geração de planos. Os enredos gerados devem pertencer a algum gênero escolhido, previamente especificado em termos de aspectos estáticos, dinâmicos e comportamentais. A técnica de modelagem envolve a análise de enredos sob uma perspectiva quádrupla, em vista de relações sintagmáticas, paradigmáticas, antitéticas e meronímicas entre os eventos constituintes. O sistema interativo implementado, de nome LogTell-R, demonstra a viabilidade do modelo proposto. / [en] This work aims at a model and an interactive system for plot composition and adaptation, based on a plan-recognition / plan-generation paradigm. The generated plots must belong to some chosen genre, to be previously specified in terms of static, dynamic and behavioural aspects. The modeling technique involves the analysis of plots under a fourfold perspective, in view of syntagmatic, paradigmatic, antithetic and meronymic relations between the constituent events. The implemented interactive system, named LogTell-R, demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed model.

Hmt : modelagem e projeto de aplicações hipermídia / HMT: hypermedia applications modeling and design

Nemetz, Fabio January 1995 (has links)
Após três décadas de pesquisa em hipermídia, muitos problemas identificados ainda não foram totalmente solucionados. Problemas relacionados com desorientação, sobrecarga cognitiva, qualidade de interface, interatividade e estruturação dos componentes dos sistemas hipermídia, são alguns que merecem ser citados. Particularmente, o problema clássico de desorientação do usuário recebeu maior atenção. Várias propostas de solução já foram sugeridas: use de roteiros guiados em substituição a navegação, retorno ao no anterior (`backtrack'), histórico de nos visitados, marcas de livro (`bookmarks'), mapas globais e locais, visões olho-de-peixe, metáforas, folheadores (`browsers'), entre outras. Se observa também que o avanço tecnológico permite que cada vez mais as aplicações incluam dados multimídia. Esta tendência mostra a necessidade urgente do surgimento de novas técnicas de modelagem de aplicações hipermídia que diminuam os problemas citados anteriormente. Desta forma, se pretende com a presente dissertação, propor uma técnica de modelagem de aplicações hipermídia, capaz de diminuir os problemas de desorientação do usuário e também de facilitar a identificação das estruturas compreensíveis que interligarão os componentes da aplicação. A técnica de modelagem aqui proposta - HMT (`Hypermedia Modeling Technique') - utiliza quatro modelos para descrever uma aplicação: o modelo de objetos descreve os objetos do domínio da aplicação e seus relacionamentos; o modelo de hiperobjetos refina o modelo de objetos, adicionando maior semântica aos relacionamentos; o modelo de navegação descreve os elos e estruturas de acesso e o modelo de interface contem as descrições sobre como o usuário ira perceber os objetos hipermídia. A técnica HMT se baseou no levantamento dos problemas relevantes as aplicações hipermídia e principalmente na analise das propostas e dos principais trabalhos encontrados na literatura. Finalmente, reforçando a viabilidade das idéias, foi feita a modelagem, projeto e implementação da aplicação hipermídia sobre literatura no Rio Grande do Sul, sob a forma de CD-ROM : Enciclopédia da Literatura Rio-Grandense. / After three decades of hypermedia research a great number of identified problems still remain without a total solution. Problems related to disorientation, cognitive overhead, interface, interaction and structure of hypermedia applications components are some of the main problems. The classical user disorientation problem has been the main focus of the attention. Many solution proposals have been suggested: the use of guided tours replacing navigation, backtrack, history mechanisms, bookmarks, global and local maps, fisheye views, metaphors, browsers, among others. We note that the technological advance allows the construction of applications that include multimedia data. This shows us that new modeling techniques for hypermedia applications are required to reduce the problems cited above. In this dissertation, we intend to propose a modeling technique for hypermedia applications, capable of reducing both the user disorientation problem and the identification of comprehensible structures that will link the components of the application. This modeling technique - the HMT (Hypermedia Modeling Technique) - uses four models to describe an application: the object model describes the objects of the application domain and their relationships; the hyperobject model enhances the object model, adding more semantics to the relationships; the navigation model describes the access structures and the interface model contains the descriptions of how the user will perceive the hypermedia objects. The HMT technique was based on the relevant problems related to hypermedia applications and mainly on the analysis of the proposals and related research found in the literature. Finally, reinforcing the viability of the proposed ideas, an application was modeled, designed and implemented: the CD-ROM "Enciclopedia da Literatura Rio- Grandense" which deals with literary information.

Considerando um diagrama EER sintaticamente correto, existem trabalhos que definem validações estruturais para os tipos básicos de relacionamentos (i.e., unários, binários e ternários), mas que não abordam construções avançadas (e.g., relacionamento identificador, herança e atributo discriminador). Neste contexto, tendo como base os trabalhos relacionados, a contribuição original desta dissertação é a definição de um catálogo de regras para validação estrutural de construções avançadas da linguagem de modelagem EER. A sistemática para definição deste catálogo consiste em realizar todas as combinações, sintaticamente válidas, entre os principais construtores da EER e avaliar quais destas têm problemas estruturais. Por fim, são propostas definições matemáticas das regras e a implementação destas em uma ferramenta do tipo Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE). / A EER diagram to be valid must be in accordance with the syntactic rules of their modeling language and must not have buildings that structurally contradict. Considering a syntactically correct EER diagram, there are works that define structural validations for the basic types of relationships (i.e., unary, binary and ternary), but do not address advanced buildings (e.g., identifier relationship, inheritance and discriminator attribute). In this context, based on the related works, the original contribution of this work is the definition of Catalog of Rules for Structural Validation of advanced buildings of the EER modeling language. The systematic for definition this catalog consists to realize all combinations, syntactically valid, among the main builders of EER and evaluate which of these are structural problems. Finally, the work proposes mathematical definitions of rules and implementation of these in one Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tool.

Simulation Modeling of Constrained Resource Allocation Using the Activity Based Conceptual Modeling Methodology

Mejicano Quintana, Miguel Antonio January 2018 (has links)
This thesis considers a common healthcare challenge of planning capacity for a system of care where patients receive multiple treatments sessions from multiple resources. As a case study of this more general problem, we considered the particular context of a capacity planning model for the Mood and Anxiety Program at The Ottawa Royal Health Centre (referenced as The Royal for simplicity) where a new service system known as CAPA (www.capa.co.uk) is being implemented to enhance the mental care provided to its patients. In order to develop the capacity planning model, we have created a simulation model using the Arena simulation software. We have also used the ABCMod Framework as the modeling methodology. The ABCMod is an activity based conceptual modelling framework that provides a set of guidelines as to how to build a conceptual model including its structural and behavioural aspects as well as a collection of constructs which include inputs, outputs and parameters among others. The ABCMod framework tools are expected to facilitate the model validation with project stakeholders. A series of scenarios relevant to The Royal were modeled and analyzed in order to determine how best to manage capacity so certain performance goals within the CAPA system implementation are met. These scenarios determine the service level The Royal can provide with its current capacity and also the amount and distribution of resources that is required to achieve its goals under the CAPA system. As a result of our simulation runs, we defined the policy implications for The Royal in order to achieve its targets and successfully implement CAPA. Additionally, through the application of the ABCMod framework and standard process mapping tools, we were able to reach a consensus and validate our modeling approach with the project stakeholders at The Royal. Our model could be adapted to other settings in which multiple resources provide a series of sequential interventions to clients.

Modeling Events on the Semantic Web / Modelování událostí na sémantickém webu

Hanzal, Tomáš January 2015 (has links)
There are many ontologies and datasets on the semantic web that mention events. Events are important in our perception of the world and in our descriptions of it, therefore also on the semantic web. There is however not one best way to model them. This is connected to the fact that even the question what events are can be approached in different ways. Our aim is to better understand how events are represented on the semantic web and how it could be improved. To this end we first turn to the ways events are treated in philosophy and in foundational ontologies. We ask questions such as what sorts of things we call events, what ontological status we assign to events and if and how can events be distinguished from other entities such as situations. Then we move on to an empirical analysis of particular semantic web ontologies for events. In this analysis we find what kinds of things are usually called events on the semantic web (and what kinds of events there are). We use the findings from the philosophy of events to critically assess these ontologies, show their problems and indicate possible paths to their solution.

Evoluce a integrace XML formátů / XML Formats Evolution and Integration

Klímek, Jakub January 2013 (has links)
In the past decade XML became a wide-spread information exchange data model. Many XML users have many XML formats described by XML schemas. To ease the management of multiple XML schemas modeling similar reality, the conceptual model for XML was defined. With its definition came various challenges that needed to be further researched. This thesis focuses on two of those challenges. The first challenge is to manage the evolution of the multi-level conceptual model as the modeled reality, XML schemas and applications evolve in time. The second challenge is to allow the majority of users who already use XML schemas in their system without the conceptual model to use their schemas to semi-automatically create one. In addition a step towards integration of the conceptual modeling of XML and semantic web techniques was taken.

SILE: A Method for the Efficient Management of Smart Genomic Information

León Palacio, Ana 25 November 2019 (has links)
[ES] A lo largo de las últimas dos décadas, los datos generados por las tecnologías de secuenciación de nueva generación han revolucionado nuestro entendimiento de la biología humana. Es más, nos han permitido desarrollar y mejorar nuestro conocimiento sobre cómo los cambios (variaciones) en el ADN pueden estar relacionados con el riesgo de sufrir determinadas enfermedades. Actualmente, hay una gran cantidad de datos genómicos disponibles de forma pública, que son consultados con frecuencia por la comunidad científica para extraer conclusiones significativas sobre las asociaciones entre los genes de riesgo y los mecanismos que producen las enfermedades. Sin embargo, el manejo de esta cantidad de datos que crece de forma exponencial se ha convertido en un reto. Los investigadores se ven obligados a sumergirse en un lago de datos muy complejos que están dispersos en más de mil repositorios heterogéneos, representados en múltiples formatos y con diferentes niveles de calidad. Además, cuando se trata de resolver una tarea en concreto sólo una pequeña parte de la gran cantidad de datos disponibles es realmente significativa. Estos son los que nosotros denominamos datos "inteligentes". El principal objetivo de esta tesis es proponer un enfoque sistemático para el manejo eficiente de datos genómicos inteligentes mediante el uso de técnicas de modelado conceptual y evaluación de calidad de los datos. Este enfoque está dirigido a poblar un sistema de información con datos que sean lo suficientemente accesibles, informativos y útiles para la extracción de conocimiento de valor. / [CA] Al llarg de les últimes dues dècades, les dades generades per les tecnologies de secuenciació de nova generació han revolucionat el nostre coneixement sobre la biologia humana.

Actualment, hi ha una gran quantitat de dades genòmiques disponibles de forma pública i que són consultats amb freqüència per la comunitat científica per a extraure conclusions significatives sobre les associacions entre gens de risc i els mecanismes que produeixen les malalties. No obstant això, el maneig d'aquesta quantitat de dades que creix de forma exponencial s'ha convertit en un repte i els investigadors es veuen obligats a submergir-se en un llac de dades molt complexes que estan dispersos en mes de mil repositoris heterogenis, representats en múltiples formats i amb diferents nivells de qualitat.

Furthermore, they have allowed us to develop and improve our knowledge about how changes (variants) in the DNA can be related to the risk of developing certain diseases. Currently, a large amount of genomic data is publicly available and frequently used by the research community, in order to extract meaningful and reliable associations among risk genes and the mechanisms of disease. However, the management of this exponential growth of data has become a challenge and the researchers are forced to delve into a lake of complex data spread in over thousand heterogeneous repositories, represented in multiple formats and with different levels of quality. Nevertheless, when these data are used to solve a concrete problem only a small part of them is really significant. This is what we call "smart" data. The main goal of this thesis is to provide a systematic approach to efficiently manage smart genomic data, by using conceptual modeling techniques and the principles of data quality assessment. The aim of this approach is to populate an Information System with data that are accessible, informative and actionable enough to extract valuable knowledge. / This thesis was supported by the Research and Development Aid Program (PAID-01-16) under the FPI grant 2137. / León Palacio, A.

Collaborilla : An enhancement to the Conzilla concept browser for enabling collaboration

Ebner, Hannes January 2006 (has links)
The research field Knowledge Management (KM) is about improving methods to structure and filter information. A concept browser makes it possible to navigate through complex information structures. Conzilla is such a concept browser. It is designed to present knowledge, to set concepts into relations to each other, and to make browsing through the resulting context-maps possible. Conzilla allows information and content being tied to concepts and concept-relations. The collaboration facilities in Conzilla are limited. Basic elements such as a lookup mechanism and lifecycle information for information structures are missing. Before knowledge can be contributed, it is necessary to make sure that dependencies are fulfilled and the history of an edited object is obtained. This thesis is about providing these missing parts. To be able to load a container, the information about the location of a component has to be held by a central registry. To resolve eventually existing dependencies, it is also necessary to register the components and its references. This thesis provides a design which eliminates the existing restrictions. The aim is to allow real collaboration through a remote services infrastructure, realized with Collaborilla. The theoretical background is discussed as well as a practical solution, including a prototype of a remote collaboration service.
