Research on advertising campaigns is intriguing due to their recent emergence and rapid expansion. These campaigns encounter various challenges, such as determining the most effective advertising strategies to achieve their objectives. This study aims to present a practical model for advertising campaigns, outlining the necessary steps for companies to follow. The research methodology involved a qualitative analysis of 180 advertising-related articles, with 80 articles selected as a sample through library studies. Data collection included semi-structured interviews with 10 advertising experts and the distribution of an open questionnaire to identify key indicators. The findings led to developing a framework comprising 9 categories, 27 themes, and 54 indicators for advertising campaigns. Indicators such as storyboards, client briefs, campaign scripting, and slogan writing are identified as novel elements within campaign models, offering valuable insights for advertising organizations.

The traditional machine translation algorithm faces low efficiency and low accuracy due to complex grammar and multiple rules of English noun phrases. A kind of noun phrase identification method based on a rough set was proposed to improve the accuracy of English noun phrases. The rough set method regarded the identification of English noun phrases as a decision problem. We used rough set theory to reduce features, optimize rules for English noun phrases, and finally identify them. Then, a simulation experiment was carried out on an English noun phrase sample on the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) using rough set theory. The stimulation demonstrated that the accuracy of the noun phrase improved by the rough set was higher than another translation method; therefore, it is an effective machine identification method for English noun phrases, providing a basis for practical design.

\ Association rule mining is an optimization problem because of several limitations. Recently, the imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) has been submitted for solving different optimization problems. This algorithm is based on the socio-political competition among empires. This paper proposes a novel ICA algorithm for automated mining of the exciting and readable association rules without considering the minimum support and confidence thresholds. The convergence rate and computational efficiency of ICA have been improved. This study shows that ICA is combined with some operators of genetic algorithms. The experimental results show that this algorithm is more efficient than the methods of mining association rules based on the basic ICA and the genetic algorithm. These modifications are not only valid for association rule mining but also have extensions to other optimization problems.

\ One of the challenges facing today{\textquoteright}s researchers is how to find qualitative information that meets their needs. In scientific research, the quality of information is very important for institution quality improvement and research validation. The main purpose of the paper is the proposal of a scientometric annotation approach to improve retrieval system performance and meet researchers{\^a}{\texteuro}{\texttrademark} needs. In this work, we discuss how to use scientometrics in document annotation to improve information quality. One possible solution to this problem is to automate and facilitate the selection of qualitative scientific documents by enriching the document annotation process with scientometric criterion. Our approach provided better performance for retrieval system compared to BM25 retrieval model. The best performance was supplied by the integration of document citation number and journal or conference ranking. The best improvement rate was 34.21\% in F-measure, 52.22\% in nDCG, 27.45\% in MAP and 83.33\% in P(k). An important implication of this finding is the existence of correlation between research paper quality and paper relevance.

\ This study examines information organization activities in the knowledge management environment. The investigation commences with the long-drawn debate on the concept of Knowledge Management and the literature that has hitherto reviewed it. Furthermore, the study delves into how conventional bibliographic information retrieval techniques and expert search systems have heretofore been applied in the organization and retrieval of digital resources and if they can be employed in the Knowledge management setting. It is contended that though the procedures, tools, and techniques are effectual and productive, they cannot be utilized in a knowledge intensive environment. Accordingly, the study puts forth a generic knowledge management framework that can be applied in a knowledge management setting. In addition, it proposes novel research gaps in the context of information organization.

Computing efficiency is a key in biometric identification systems for automatic facial expression recognition. It was integrated within advanced pattern recognition as an excellent paradigm while users shifted towards underlying patterns. Most existing face recognition models suffer from a low recognition rate and significant execution time. To overcome these drawbacks, we propose a new Local Gradient Neighborhood (LGN) descriptor for effective face and facial expression recognition. Firstly, the LGN components obtained by applying LGN for each block of the face image which is represented by 9-size vector. Secondly, the system concatenates features vectors of different blocks to obtain the final feature vector for the face image. Finally, it applies SVM and KNN techniques to classify the input images. Unlike other similar works, the new proposed descriptor is evaluated on two benchmarks, for face recognition and facial expression recognition respectively. The experimental results show an excellent recognition rate and fast execution time. The recognition rate for the ORL face database is 98.50\% and the recognition rate for the JAFEE database is 84.28\%.

\ Purpose Innovation failure knowledge sharing plays an important role in reducing the probability of repeated failure of subsequent innovation and improving innovation ability of virtual research organization. However, it is very difficult for members to actively share the innovation failure knowledge without incentives. This study aims to establish the incentive mechanism of innovation failure knowledge sharing, and promote the sharing behavior of innovation failure knowledge in virtual research organization. Design/methodology/approach By using game theory, considering the risk aversion degree of organization members and the negative effect of innovation fault-tolerance environment, the incentive model of innovation failure knowledge sharing of virtual research organization was constructed, and the incentive relationship of innovation failure knowledge sharing between organization and its members under the influence of different states was analyzed. Findings Without considering the negative effect of innovation fault-tolerant environment, the optimal incentive coefficient of innovation failure knowledge sharing is positively related to the sharing rate of innovation failure knowledge and the transformation ability of innovation failure knowledge of organization members, and negatively related to the sharing cost and risk aversion degree of organization members. Considering the negative effect of innovation fault-tolerant environment, virtual research organization should make a corresponding modification of sharing incentive intensity according to the estimation of tolerance degree to innovation fault-tolerant environment by itself and its members, so as to reduce the knowledge input of organization. Originality/value This study proposes an incentive mechanism of innovation failure knowledge sharing considering the negative effect of innovation fault-tolerant environment, which provides a novel idea and method for the design of incentive mechanism of innovation failure knowledge sharing in virtual research organization.

The purpose of this paper is to implement information security risk management (ISRM) in research information systems (RIS). Appropriate identification and assessment of risks in different aspects such as software, communications, and human resources for RIS{\textquoteright}s besides providing efficient and effective preventive and corrective actions are other aims of this study. Furthermore, continual improvement of risk response processes in information technology environment is another aim of this study.\  In this study, potential risks of information security are identified using failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA). Also, detected failure modes are evaluated by multi-criteria decision-making method (MCDM) using a hybrid method of fuzzy logic, analytic hierarchy process (AHP), Shannon entropy scoring method, and technique for order preference by similarity to the ideal solution (TOPSIS). The result of this paper shows that information security software potential risks assessment by the proposed model is more accurate and reliable than non-fuzzy models. Unauthorized access to view or change the stored information of the server is the risk with the most important priority identified by MCDM approach. Confidentiality of information is more important than other information security criteria. Furthermore, failure modes in the category of the main server and internet have more priority in comparison to others.

\ The objective of personalized information retrieval systems is to infer the real user information need hidden behind his query, and then tailor the search results to this need. The user information need may be relative to one of the user{\textquoteright}s multiple search contexts, such as user current location, user social context or an important event that occupies the public opinion of the user community. In this paper we present a new personalized information retrieval approach in which we design and use a user profile. This profile takes into account the different social, situational and temporal contexts of the user previous searches, and we introduced a personal semantics in the representation of these search contexts. The introduced personal semantics is interested by the identification and the valorization of the different cooccurrence relationships between the different relevant components of the user search history. The user profile, boasting its semantic vision, is used to infer the user current information need by the enrichment of the initial user query without going beyond the user current interest.

\ Facing an unprecedented explosion and growth of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) signal the overwhelming dependency on the digital library (DL). Over the years, libraries spent a great amount of investment to subscribe to various digital resources such as online databases, electronic journals, electronic books and other digital resources. However, previous studies reported that the use of DL is underutilized; hence undermining its original purposes and making it harder for the libraries to justify their investment on DL resources. It is reported that users prefer to use free online resources compared to the DL resources. The lack of DL usage is credited to the lack of DL engagement and the impact of contextual factors leading to DL engagement. Yet, not much is known about the contributing factors of DL engagement as well as its impacts. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is twofold: (1) to introduce the concept of Digital Library Engagement, and (2) to discuss at the conceptual level on the determinants and impacts of digital library engagement and development of a conceptual framework. In order to develop the conceptual framework, the study adopted a systematic literature review approach of over 100 papers. Grounded in previous literature on DL, the contributions of this paper are as follows: first, the paper provides insight on the new concept of digital library engagement; second, the paper proposes\

Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) often shows significant promise for improving the effectiveness of decision support systems. Previous research in decision making has proposed the use of a CBR approach to accumulate, organize, preserve, link and share diverse knowledge coming from past experiences. However, existing CBR systems lack semantic understanding, which is important for intelligent knowledge retrieval in decision support systems. In order to overcome the limitation of existing CBR and develop an intelligent CBR system which can not only carry out data matching retrieval, but also perform semantic associated data access, and improve the traditional keyword-based search, this paper integrates ontology technology into a CBR system and proposes to combine semantic retrieval method and numerical measurement in case retrieval. Ontology technology is an ideal selection for realizing our system thanks to the good semantic understanding offered by ontology. The resulting ontology based CBR system is applied in fault diagnosis of industrial machines, a semi-structured decision-making environment involving multiple attributes. The case illustrates the use of proposed semantic CBR system, and shows the feasibility of our approach and the benefit of the ontology support.

The applicability of the Smart-M3 platform was then validated by the implementation of the system. Lastly, a summative evaluation was carried out by interviewing direct stakeholders, to enrich the observations from the validation. The results of the study show that the implemented system provides small businesses with opportunities to reduce costs and more efficiently use resources, adding new devices and systems, new ways to produce services, andreal-time tracking of the sales process, as well as utilization of the data collected from the system. From the customers{\textquoteright} point of view, the efficient use of resources may lead to more competitive prices of the products and services.

Then, we focus on a particular compression method, namely LZSS, which is used in ZIP/LHA. We propose a new method, called IH-LZSS, which controls the trade-off between the maximum embeddable data size and compression rate. Some experimental results are also shown.}, keywords = {Information hiding, Lossless data compression, LZSS, Tamper detection, ZIP}, url = {http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-72449125165\&partnerID=40\&md5=eca05f3963e0a10ea67d3f0d70e77c76}, author = {Yoshioka, K. and Sonoda, K. and Takizawa, O. and Matsumoto, T.} } @article {66, title = {Impact of node mobility on MANET routing protocols models}, journal = {Journal of Digital Information Management}, volume = {5}, year = {2007}, note = {Cited By (since 1996):36Export Date: 10 July 2014}, month = {2007}, pages = {19 - 24}, abstract = {A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a self-configuring network of mobile nodes connected by wireless links to form an arbitrary topology without the use of existing infrastructure. In this paper, we have studied the effects of various mobility models on the performance of two routing protocols Dynamic Source Routing (DSR-Reactive Protocol) and Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector (DSDV-Proactive Protocol). For experiment purposes, we have considered four mobility scenarios: Random Waypoint, Group Mobility, Freeway and Manhattan models. These four Mobility Models are selected to represent possibility of practical application in future. Performance comparison has also been conducted across varying node densities and number of hops. Experiment results illustrate that performance of the routing protocol varies across different mobility models, node densities and length of data paths.}, keywords = {MANET, Mobile adhoc networks, Mobility models}, url = {http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-33947316746\&partnerID=40\&md5=9ec1ff712eea94ec5e6ac514c870c542}, author = {Divecha, B. and Abraham, A. and Grosan, C. and Sanyal, S.} } @article {103, title = {The Infocious Web search engine: Improving Web searching through linguistic analysis}, journal = {Journal of Digital Information Management}, volume = {5}, year = {2007}, note = {Export Date: 10 July 2014}, month = {2007}, pages = {277 - 291}, abstract = {In this paper we present the Infocious Web search engine [23], which currently indexes more than 2 billion pages collected from the Web. The main goal of Infocious is to enhance the way that people find relevant information on the Web by resolving ambiguities present in natural language text. Towards this goal, Infocious performs linguistic analysis to the content of the Web pages prior to indexing and exploits the output of this analysis when ranking and presenting the results to the users. Our hope is that this additional step of linguistic processing provides Infocious with two main advantages. First, Infocious tries to gain a deeper understanding of the content of Web pages and to match the users{\textquoteright} queries with the indexed documents better, improving the relevancy of the returned results. Second, based on its linguistic processing, Infocious tries to organize and present the results to the users in a structured and more intuitive way. In this paper we present the linguistic processing technologies that we investigated and/or incorporated into the Infocious search engine, and we discuss the main challenges in applying these technologies to Web documents. We also present the various components in the architecture of Infocious, and how each one of these components benefits from the added linguistic processing. Finally, we present preliminary results from our experimental study that evaluates the effectiveness of the described linguistic analysis.}, keywords = {Infocious search engine, Linguistic processing, Web pages, Web search engines}, url = {http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-70350638936\&partnerID=40\&md5=51ba97210c13f5678967a5c10ff4a58a}, author = {Ntoulas, A. and Chao, G. and Cho, J.} } @article {104, title = {Information vs. Robustness in rank aggregation: Models, algorithms and a statistical framework for evaluation}, journal = {Journal of Digital Information Management}, volume = {5}, year = {2007}, note = {Cited By (since 1996):1Export Date: 10 July 2014}, month = {2007}, pages = {292 - 308}, abstract = {The rank aggregation problem has been studied extensively in recent years with a focus on how to combine several different rankers to obtain a consensus aggregate ranker. We study the rank aggregation problem from a different perspective: how the individual input rankers impact the performance of the aggregate ranker. We develop a general statistical framework based on a model of how the individual rankers depend on the ground truth ranker. Within this framework, one can generate synthetic data sets and study the performance of different aggregation methods. The individual rankers, which are the inputs to the rank aggregation algorithm, are statistical perturbations of the ground truth ranker. With rigorous experimental evaluation, we study how noise level and the misinformation of the rankers affect the performance of the aggregate ranker. We introduce and study a novel Kendall-tau rank aggregator and a simple aggregator called PrOpt, which we compare to some other well known rank aggregation algorithms such as average, median, CombMNZ and Markov chain aggregators. Our results show that the relative performance of aggregators varies considerably depending on how the input rankers relate to the ground truth.}, keywords = {Kendall-tau rank aggregator, Rank aggregation algorithms, Rank aggregators}, url = {http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-70350655572\&partnerID=40\&md5=9105bd74059b6e4c04845776bb7c00d9}, author = {Adali, S. and Hill, B. and Magdon-Ismail, M.} } @article {53, title = {An intelligent paradigm for multi-objects tracking in crowded environment}, journal = {Journal of Digital Information Management}, volume = {4}, year = {2006}, note = {Cited By (since 1996):5Export Date: 10 July 2014}, month = {2006}, pages = {184 - 191}, abstract = {In this paper, we describe a novel object tracking technique in color video sequences, with application to multi-object tracking in crowded scenes. The proposed paradigm integrates object detection into the object tracking process and provide a robust tracking framework under ambiguity conditions. In order to reduce the computational complexity and to increase the robustness, we use a tri-sectional structure. i.e., firstly it distinguishes between real world objects, secondly extracts image features like motion blobs and color patches and thirdly abstracts objects like meta-objects that shall denote real world objects. Through such a tight integration of the motion blobs and color patches, as well as the global optimization of object trajectories, we have accomplished not only robust and efficient multi-object tracking, but also the ability to deal with merging/splitting of objects, irregular object motions, changing appearances, etc. which are the challenging problems for the most traditional tracking methods. The efficiency of the suggested technique for multi-objects detection and tracking will be demonstrated in this paper on the basis of analysis of strongly disturbed real image sequences.}, keywords = {Colour video processing, MDI approach, Moving objects, Object motions}, url = {http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-33749373594\&partnerID=40\&md5=13a4c51b2ea671d5b5b5f2b0e05705e2}, author = {Al-Hamadi, A.K. and Michaelis, B.} } @article {56, title = {Introduction to the Multimedia Semantics issue}, journal = {Journal of Digital Information Management}, volume = {4}, year = {2006}, note = {Export Date: 10 July 2014}, month = {2006}, pages = {206}, url = {http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-33845938735\&partnerID=40\&md5=6cc5552751fc285d3d1d350093fe3395}, author = {Grosky, B. and Stanchev, P.L.} }
