Saving Money in Printer Usage

Print Censor Pro: Real Breakthrough to Saving Money in Printer Usage

A New Effective Tool Designed to Make Network Printers Management Easy and Fast

UsefulSoft today announces the release of Print Censor Professional 4.7, a powerful tool designed to record a printer's usage data and make the management of network printers as easy as possible. Print Censor Professional saves for you all useful printing information, including user and computer names, document title and size, time and date of printing, number of pages and copies, priority, paper size, color of printing (colored or black and white), whether it was a duplex printing or not and a print job cost. Nothing is left out and, any time you need it, all this useful information is at hand. But what makes Print Censor Professional a really state-of-the-art program and a natural choice for any system administrator is the fact that it doesn't stop at mere analysis of printing data, it allows you to set printing quotas for individual users. So, every user whose printing limit gets exceeded will be momentarily notified of his status and all his printing activity will be blo!
cked.

"When designing Print Censor Professional we constantly kept in mind its future users and their needs," says Alex Egorov, CEO at UsefulSoft. "We made all effort to create a really handy program, easy to use and highly customizable, in other words - a multi-purpose one. Now Print Censor Professional can help anyone starting with an ordinary user trying to keep track of his own printing activities and ending with system administrators whom it will help with a daunting task of keeping under control a large net of organization's printers."

Print Censor Professional saves your money by eliminating non-work usage of your company's printers. All you need is, first, to analyze the excessive data gathered for you by Print Censor Professional, and, second, use it to set individual quotas for every printer. A great advantage of Print Censor Professional is its flexibility, which allows you to increase quotas for particular users, for example, a secretary, or change them according to workload changes. With Print Censor Professional you can also save time as you have all your printers at hand in one window and you can monitor their activity so that in case of overload of one printer you can move some of its tasks to other printers.

Not all the computers in your net may have the same OS installed on them. That doesn't cause even a bit of a problem for Print Censor Professional, which can determine and store print jobs created under various operating systems: DOS, Windows 3.11/95/98/ME Windows NT/2000/XP, Windows Server 2003, Macintosh, Linux and other Unix versions. The print jobs manager provided by Print Censor Professional allows you to execute all basic operations and print jobs directly from Print Censor Professional. Remote management of printers installed on other computers is also on the list of Print Censor Professional useful features.
Print Censor Pro is very simple and even a beginner can use it without any problems. The step-by-step setup provided by Print Censor Pro will help any user to easily install and run the program.

The First International Workshop on ONTOLOGY MATCHING

The First International Workshop on
ONTOLOGY MATCHING
(OM-2006)
http://www.om2006.ontologymatching.org/

November 5 or 6, 2006, ISWC'06 Workshop Program, Athens, Georgia, USA

BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
Ontology matching is a key interoperability enabler for the Semantic Web,
since it takes the ontologies as input and determines as output
correspondences between the semantically related entities of those ontologies.
These correspondences can be used for various tasks, such as ontology merging,
query answering, data translation, or for navigation on the Semantic Web.
Thus, matching ontologies enables the knowledge and data expressed in the
matched ontologies to interoperate.

The workshop has two goals:
1. To bring together academic and industry leaders dealing with ontology matching
in order to assess how academic advances are addressing real-world requirements.
The workshop will strive to improve academic awareness of industrial needs, and
therefore, direct research towards those needs. Simultaneously, the workshop will
serve to inform industry representatives about existing research efforts that may
meet their business needs.

2. To conduct an extensive evaluation of ontology matching approaches through
the OAEI (Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative) 2006 campaign. The particular
focus of this year's OAEI campaign is on real-world matching tasks from specific
domains, e.g., medicine, jobs. Therefore, the ontology matching evaluation
initiative itself will provide a solid ground for discussion of how well the
current approaches are meeting business needs.


TOPICS of interest include, but are not limited to:
Application of ontology matching techniques in real-world scenarios;
Requirements to ontology matching from specific domains;
Formal foundations and frameworks for ontology matching;
Performance of ontology-matching techniques;
Background knowledge in ontology matching;
Uncertainty in ontology matching;
Interactive ontology matching;
Ontology matching evaluation methodology;
Ontology matching for information integration;
Ontology matching for query answering;
Ontology matching for dynamic environments (e.g., P2P systems);
Systems and infrastructures.


INVITED TALKS
1. Fausto Giunchiglia,
University of Trento, Italy.
Tentative title: Background Knowledge in Ontology Matching.

2. Amit Sheth,
University of Georgia and Semagix, USA.
Tentative title: Matching, Mapping and Alignment in the context of

FORMAT AND SUBMISSIONS

OAEI'06 results presentations, posters and consensus building workshop,
wrap-up discussion.
