Strategy Approach towards Product Lifecycle Management

Mass Customization and global economic collaboration drives the product development and management beyond internal enterprise to cover the whole product value chain. To meet such requirement, a strategy approach focusing on data organization for product lifecycle management was promoted. The approach takes product platform as the base, view engine and rule-based access as data access mechanism, and integration and collaboration bus as a enabler to allow participants involved in product lifecycle to get convenient, WEB-based access to the internal and external content, applications, and services.

Thoughts on the Emergency Guarantee of Library Electronic Resources in the Post-Pandemic Era

In the post-pandemic era,libraries need to improve the emergency support of electronic resources and establish a relatively perfect electronic resource support system in order to adapt to the construction goal of the national emergency system as well as realize their own transformation and development.It must be realized through enhancing awareness and planning,strengthening policy support and top-level design,realizing rapid response and intelligent response,improving technical support,promoting resource synergy,integration,and sharing,strengthening community integration,as well as providing intelligent management and services.

CONSTRUCTION OF INTEGRATED CAD TOOLS ENVIRONMENT TO SUPPORT CONCURRENT COLLABORATIVE DESIGN

A CAD tools environment is described to support concurrent collaborative design. The environment has four components: shared design representation, design process control, CAD tools, designer interface. Some related issues for the construction, such as form feature handling, constraint satisfaction, design process control, STEP based information integration, are discussed in more detail.

An integrated geospatial information service system for disaster management in China

The Chinese Government and citizens face enormous challenges of disaster management as widespread devastation,economic damages,and loss of human lives caused by increasing natural disasters.Disaster management requires a complicated iterative process that includes disaster monitoring,early detection,forecasting,loss assessment,and efficient analysis of disaster reduction.Each task typically involves the use of technologists and multiple geospatial information resources,including sensors,data sources,models,geo-tools,software packages,and computing resources.However,most existing disaster management systems operate in a typical passive data-centric mode,where resources cannot be fully utilized.This impediment is partially being addressed by the increasingly complex application requirements and the growing availability of diverse resources.In this paper,we summarize and analyze the practical problems experienced by the National Disaster Reduction Application System of China.To address the issues of data-centric,centralized,isolated solutions,we propose a novel Focusing Service Mechanism,which is capable of scheduling and allocating for optimum utilization of multiple resources,to dynamically generate collaborative and on-demand disaster information services.We also demonstrate the design and implementation of the Integrated Disaster Information Service System(IDISS).Through the service strategies of Virtualizing,Wrapping,and Integrating,disasterrelated resources are constructed into services in the IDISS.These services are dynamically aggregated into focusing service chains,for diverse disaster management tasks.Actual applications illustrate that the proposed service system can significantly improve the capability of disaster management in China.

Databases and Web Tools for Cancer Genomics Study

Publicly-accessible resources have promoted the advance of scientific discovery. The era of genomics and big data has brought the need for collaboration and data sharing in order to make effective use of this new knowledge. Here, we describe the web resources for cancer genomics research and rate them on the basis of the diversity of cancer types, sample size, omics data comprehensiveness, and user experience. The resources reviewed include data repository and analysis tools; and we hope such introduction will promote the awareness and facilitate the usage of these resources in the cancer research community.
