TL;DR: An infrastructure to manage knowledge in ODE, an Ontology-based software Development Environment is presented, which considers knowledge capture, store, retrieval, dissemination, use and maintenance.
Abstract: Knowledge is one of the organization’s most valuable assets. In the context of software development, knowledge management can be used to capture knowledge and experience generated during the software process. In this process, collaboration technologies also play a central role. With groupware facilities, we have the basis for creating, increasing and capturing knowledge from group and organizational collaboration. First in this paper, we discuss the importance of knowledge management in software development, and how knowledge management and groupware facilities can be integrated into a software development environment (SDE). Then, we present an infrastructure to manage knowledge in ODE, an Ontology-based software Development Environment. This infrastructure deals with several knowledge items, including artifacts, lessons learned and packages of discussion, and considers knowledge capture, store, retrieval, dissemination, use and maintenance.

TL;DR: In this paper, an intelligent device monitoring and managing system based on software as a service (SaaS) is proposed. But the system is not suitable for large-scale monitoring objects.
Abstract: The invention relates to an intelligent device monitoring and managing system based on software as a service (SaaS) The system comprises an intelligent device layer, a cloud application and service layer and a user application layer, wherein the intelligent device layer is assemble of monitoring and managing objects of the same category, the cloud application and service layer is a group of network server cluster, and the user application layer comprises any devices and users capable of accessing the internet and carrying a web browser A user can use the web browser as a monitor terminal to request monitoring service, managing service or other services of intelligent devices to the cloud application and service layer The cloud application and service layer adopts an Saas multi-tenant and distributed application procedural framework, processes data in a distributed cache according to a monitoring service strategy customized by the user, and logs the data in a data base at regular time The cloud application and service layer drives a cloud application and service terminal and controls the intelligent devices to execute responding service motions According to the intelligent device monitoring and managing system based on SaaS, application services such as remote control, management and information integration of the intelligent devices based on a SaaS platform are achieved, problems caused by large-scale monitoring objects are effectively solved, servers and information bearing capacity can be arranged dynamically according to the quantity of users, hardware resources of the servers can be utilized completely, and therefore operating cost is reduced

TL;DR: It is expected that cloud-based HSPs will allow small and mid-sized hospitals, in addition to large- sized hospitals, to adopt information infrastructures and health information technology with low system operation and maintenance costs.
Abstract: Objectives To design a cloud computing-based Healthcare Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Platform (HSP) for delivering healthcare information services with low cost, high clinical value, and high usability Methods We analyzed the architecture requirements of an HSP, including the interface, business services, cloud SaaS, quality attributes, privacy and security, and multi-lingual capacity For cloud-based SaaS services, we focused on Clinical Decision Service (CDS) content services, basic functional services, and mobile services Microsoft's Azure cloud computing for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) was used Results The functional and software views of an HSP were designed in a layered architecture External systems can be interfaced with the HSP using SOAP and REST/JSON The multi-tenancy model of the HSP was designed as a shared database, with a separate schema for each tenant through a single application, although healthcare data can be physically located on a cloud or in a hospital, depending on regulations The CDS services were categorized into rule-based services for medications, alert registration services, and knowledge services Conclusions We expect that cloud-based HSPs will allow small and mid-sized hospitals, in addition to large-sized hospitals, to adopt information infrastructures and health information technology with low system operation and maintenance costs

TL;DR: Cloud Computing is a new technology that helps to use the Cloud for compliance the authors' computation needs and has both advantages and disadvantages that are scrutinized in this article.
Abstract: Cloud Computing is a new technology that helps us to use the Cloud for compliance our computation needs. Cloud refers to a scalable network of computers that work together like Internet. An important element in Cloud Computing is that we shift processing, managing, storing and implementing our data from, locality into the Cloud; So it helps us to improve the efficiency. Because of it is new technology, it has both advantages and disadvantages that are scrutinized in this article. Then some vanguards of this technology are studied. Afterwards we find out that Cloud Computing will have important roles in our tomorrow life! Keywords—Cloud Computing, Grid Computing, Internet as a Platform, On-demand Computing, Software as a Service.

TL;DR: A list of five characteristics that are required for a firm to be considered a SaaS provider is distilled and tested using survey data from the Finnish software industry, indicating the criteria were necessary but not sufficient.
Abstract: Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a relatively new and much hyped model of software delivery where the software is procured as a service over the Internet. We found that there were several different definitions of SaaS. Based on these definitions, we distilled a list of five characteristics that are required for a firm to be considered a SaaS provider. Using survey data from the Finnish software industry, we tested the proposed criteria. Closer examination of the survey indicated the criteria were necessary but not sufficient. Therefore, we extended the criteria to better grasp the phenomenon and tested the changes through a qualitative validation. Also, we found that while a large number of firms are producing software that is technically SaaS, pure SaaS-based business models are much more rare in Finland.
