The nature of Web systems is substantially different from more conventional software systems. They are developed in shorter timeframes, often act as the direct interface between multiple stakeholders, meet a more generic ...

Formalization of topological relations between spatial objects is an important aspect of spatial representation and reasoning. The well-known 9-Intersection Method (9IM) was previously used to characterize topological ...

Securing and controlling the access to Web services is paramount to adopting Web services in distributed computing environments. In contrast to the existing access control models that focus on service client and provider ...

Bilevel decision techniques are mainly developed for solving decentralized management problems with decision makers in a hierarchical organization. Organizational bilevel decision-making, such as planning of land-use, ...
