Abstract: Traditional stepped frequency chirp pulse train methods suffer from high sidelobes and ambiguous peaks, known as grating lobes and difficulty in compensating Doppler effect caused by target motion. This paper investigates a class of non-linear stepped frequency chirp pulse train with low sidelobes and capability to cancel clutter and to compensate motion. We present analytic expression for its autocorrelation function (ACF) and propose an improved method to produce the non-linear stepped frequency chirp pulse train with small grating lobes and small overlap ratio for sub-pulse of large time bandwidth product. A method for estimation a target¡¯s radial velocity is developed, which avoids multiple bursts required by other methods. The high signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio as a result of sub-pulse compression assures the accuracy of estimation. The Cramer-Rao bound for lower limit on the velocity estimation of the pulse train is derived to demonstrate its performance.
Keywords: Non-linear stepped frequency chirp pulse train, Autocorrelation function, Grating lobes suppression, Motion compensation, Cramer-Rao bound, One-dimensional range profile

Abstract: Because of the pressure of globalization in the last two decades, professional services has become an important strategic decision so that supplier selection is a prime concern. In the semiconductor industry, the prior researches worked on analyzing and improving the process, and evaluating the equipment manufacturers. Therefore, being the semiconductor industry applying a wide huge of advanced technologies, wafer suppliers and foundry and DRAM manufacturers acquire a large volume of critical materials and components. Consequently, this study is to identify critical factors related to the wafer supplier selection. It also has become a new subject by how to prompt current position of semiconductor industry and their wafer supplier in Taiwan. Primary criteria to evaluate supplier selection is acquired by the literatures survey, wafer manufacturers¡¦ data and applying fuzzy Delphi method (FDM), and then fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) is employed to calculate !
the weights of these criteria, so as to establish the fuzzy multi-criteria model of wafer supplier selection. The results indicated a greatest weight on the dimension of wafer supplier selection, and seven critical criteria related to wafer supplier selection were: (1) wafer quality, (2) delivery time, (3) service, (4) price, (5) process capability, (6) reputation, and (7) past performance.

Title of the Paper: Comparison of different 2nd order formulations for the solution of the 2D groundwater flow problem over irregular triangular meshes

Abstract: Mixed and Mixed Hybrid Finite Elements (MHFE) methods have been widely used in the last decade for simulation of groundwater flow problem, petroleum reservoir problems, potential flow problems, etc. The main advantage of these methods is that, unlike the classical Galerkin approach, they guarantee local and global mass balance, as well the flux continuity between inter-element sides. The simple shape of the control volume, where the mass conservation is satisfied, makes also easier to couple this technique with a Finite Volume technique in the time splitting approach for the solution of advection-dispersion problems. In the present paper, a new MHFE formulation is proposed for the solution of the 2D linear groundwater flow problem over domain discretized by means of triangular irregular meshes. The numerical results of the modified MHFE procedure are compared with the results of a modified 2nd spatial approximation order Finite Volume (FV2) formulation [2], as well!
as with the results given by the standard MHFE method. The FV2 approach is equivalent to the standard MHFE approach in the case of isotropic medium and regular or mildly irregular mesh, but has a smaller number of unknowns and better matrix properties. In the case of irregular mesh, an approximation is proposed to maintain the superior matrix properties of the FV2 approach, with the consequent introduction of a small error in the computed solution. The modified MHFE formulation is equivalent to the standard MHFE approach in both isotropic and heterogeneous medium cases, using regular or irregular computational meshes, but has a smaller number of unknowns for given mesh geometry.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship of social intelligence and leadership style in partly and truly global projects. In the present study we explored what leadership style is preferred in virtual projects. Further, the study examined the differential effects of level of virtuality on social intelligence and leadership style. We tested our hypotheses with data collected from project management professional working in five countries. We used linear regression and t-test to analyze the proposed hypotheses. Results showed that social awareness and relationship management were positively related to concern for task and concern for people and was higher in truly global than partly global projects. However, we found no effect of virtuality on leadership. The findings of this study have significant implications for leadership skills and behaviors at project management workplace.

Title of the Paper: An Empirical Case Study on the Service Quality for Traditional Chinese Medical Clinics

Abstract: Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry introduced ¡§A Service Quality Model.¡¨ and further explored the gap between expected quality customers having before receiving the service and perceived quality customers regarding after receiving the service (they call this gap as the perceived service quality gap). In their methodology, customers are asked to fill out a questionnaire regarding both expected and perceived service after they received the service. Since both expected and perceived service quality are rated in one single questionnaire, it is questionable that the results obtained can effectively convey the differences of the gap as originally defined. This research proposed a Service Quality Diagnosis Model to re-explore the perceived service quality gap. A traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinic in Taiwan is used as an example to demonstrate the proposed approach. The first stage of the proposed approach involved developing a suitable scale containing the key servi!
ce factors to measure the service quality of TCM clinics. The second phase of the proposed approach explored the service quality of the case TCM clinic by analyzing the results obtained from questionnaire filled out by its patients. Different from any exist approach, respondents need to fill out two questionnaires separately before and after they receive services. The proposed research successfully divided perceived service quality into three types: ideal quality, unacceptable quality and satisfactory quality. As with enterprise diagnosis, the research results can effectively help managers to identify abnormalities in current service quality and further to recommend in-time solutions to the problems or countermeasures for continuous improvement.

Title of the Paper: Lung Area Extraction from X-ray CT Images for Computer-aided Diagnosis of Pulmonary Nodules by using Active Contour Model

Abstract: In this paper, we develop a lung area extraction technique from X-ray computed tomography (CT) images for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems. In lung cancer cases, pulmonary nodules are typical pathological changes and thus they are the target to be detected by CAD systems. The isolated nodules can be detected more easily by CAD systems developed previously, while previous CAD systems are often hard to detect non-isolated nodules. The extraction technique can then be used for transforming the non-isolated pulmonary nodules connected to the walls of the chest into isolated ones. The technique proposed here is based on an active contour model, but such model is often trapped into a local optimum solution. To avoid the local optimum solutions, an essential core of the proposed technique is to select an appropriate initial contour by using an anatomical feature of the lung shape in X-ray CT slices. Some experimental results demonstrate the usefulness of the propose!
d technique for assisting the CAD systems to detect non-isolated nodules more accurately.

Abstract: Appearance-based face recognition techniques are appropriate for reducing the volume of computation for fast image analysis and classification. Face recognition plays a significant role in many security and forensic applications including person authentication for access control systems and person identification in real time video surveillance systems. This paper examines two appearance-based approaches for feature extraction and dimension reduction, namely, Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). Numerical experiments were conducted on the ORL face database to investigate the effect of changing the number of training images, scaling factor, and the effect of feature vector length on the recognition rate. The results suggest that the effect of increasing the number of training images has more significance on the recognition rate than changing the image scale. Correlations obtained from numerical experiments on the ORL face datab!
ase suggest that as the number of training images increases, PCA would yield slightly higher recognition rates.

Abstract: The intrinsic characteristics of data mining are being inculcated in the market of microfinance. The use case that is brought under our consideration is of Currency Exchange. The idea was conceived and perceived by the current financial crises in the world market in the year 2008-09.The financial recession in world wide compelled individuals to think and start micro businesses rather than macro businesses. In our paper we conceived and designed some algorithms by using data mining techniques to have general micro currency exchange businesses for a developing country. Our algorithm processes two years historical data of currency rates and applies data mining strategies. The "Median Method" and "Rise & Fall Method" with probabilistic approach are being presented. It can be applied to N year's data with unless desired results are achieved. This is to give best choice to micro currency business men to take decision either to buy or to sell currency. Some previous curr!
ency rates (i.e. Ups & Down) are also recorded from a popular bank of Canada & currency open markets as a proof of concept using our algorithm. The statistical and graphical analysis are being made on the data .Our algorithm can be efficiently used by all those who wish to initialize a small business (Cottage Industries) with a profitable income with less investment. Our research will lead to a new dimension in the fields of Micro finance and Data mining.

Abstract: This paper presents a control scheme, comprehensive analysis and result obtained for the dynamic control of power transmission, damping of oscillations with Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) on the basis of theory and computer simulations through MATLAB software. The system deals with the Multimachine system containing two generators, two transformers, five buses, three transmission lines & a load. UPFC is a controlled reactor having function of both static synchronous compensator (STATCOM )as well as static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) used with long transmission lines to control the dynamic and transient performance.The power system employed in this study is Multimachine model based on the result of simulation studies using MATLAB. These studies show that these controllers can provide satisfactory performance under wide variations in parameters. This report focuses on the damping of oscillations in power systems by incorporating an auxiliary control !
to UPFC i.e. power system Damping Controller (PSDC). It briefly discusses the role of power System Stabilizer (PSS) in damping local mode and inter-area oscillations. It also discusses the role of combination made by PSS and UPFC in damping power system oscillations during simulation studies, the position of UPFC is kept constant, at the midpoint of the transmission line. A three phase fault is induced in the transmission line using fault logic and the performance of the UPFC is studied by varying the parameters of PSDC. The magnitude of the fault and the time of application of the fault are kept constant. The simulation studies revealed that oscillations present after occurrence of fault are greatly reduced after PSS and UPFC combination

Abstract: In this paper we presented and classified various approaches for redundancy in the area of wireless sensor networks, related to sensing, communication and information processing. Sometimes an ally, sometimes a foe, redundancy is an inherent feature of sensor networks that has to be very carefully examined in order to improve important aspects of their functioning. Moreover, this paper presents two methodologies: one that implies both components of spatial redundancy and one that implies the use of temporal redundancy for achieving the objective of fault-tolerant and safe operation. In the end, the fields in which the redundancy could be applied with significant results are highlighted.

Abstract: An adaptive rate hybrid direct-sequence/fast frequency hopping code-division multiple-access (DS/FFH-CDMA) system operating in a Rayleigh fading environment is considered and its spectral efficiency, expressed in (bits/sec/Hz), is estimated in terms of the theoretically achievable average channel capacity (in the sense of information theory) per user. The analysis covers the operation over a broadcast single-cell time-varying system, applicable to the downlink of satellites, wireless local-area networks and single-cell indoor mobile sys-tems, and leads to a simple novel closed-form expression for the optimal number of simultaneously active users based on the maximization of the achieved spectral efficiency. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the proposed mathematical analysis.

Abstract: A genetic algorithm and a simulated annealing approach is presented for the guidance of a cellular automaton toward optimal configurations. The algorithm is applied to a problem of groundwater allocation in a rectangular area consisting of adjacent land blocks and modeled as a cellular automaton. The new algorithm is compared to a more conventional genetic algorithm and its efficiency is clearly demonstrated. Also, comparison is made to a simulated annealing scheme. Finally, the proposed genetic algorithm is combined with simulated annealing to yield a new hybrid. The presented cell – based algorithm is different from related algorithms of the literature, as it relies on local interactions among land blocks. Moreover, it offers a framework for application to more general and detailed problems.

Title of the Paper: Disordinal Interaction Effects of Organizational and Individual Factors on Safety Performance in University Laboratories
Authors as they appear in the Paper:
Email addresses of all the authors:
Number of paper pages: 14
Abstract: This study discusses the interaction effects of organizational factors and individual factors on safety performance. 465 employees from four colleges in central Taiwan completed a self-administered questionnaire. The researchers used a two-way Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) to analyze the data. The researchers found that there are interaction effects on safety performance between 1) size and accident experience; 2) safety committee and gender; 3) safety committee and accident experience; 4) location and accident experience. Because the interaction effects discovered are disordinal, safety managers must take measures to improve safety for different classes of employees in different kinds of organizations. Based on these results, the authors advise safety managers to take note of these interaction effects in order to raise the effectiveness and efficiency of safety improvements.

Abstract: This paper presents dynamic compensations in a micro hard drive. It reviews dynamic models of the drive in low-and high-frequency regions. The nonlinear friction compensation for low-frequency dynamic is achieved via a fuzzy logic controller. Forward and backward micro-step motion of the read/write head can be nicely performed. Resonance compensation for high-frequency dynamic is achieved via linear compensation. The paper presents some comparison studies of using a cascaded lead compensator, a complex lead-lag compensator, and a searched polynomial compensator. The compensated system's performance is enhanced further by stable nonlinear control. Detailed descriptions of modelling, design, simulation results, and analysis can be found in the paper.

Abstract: Abstract: - The article presents the performance evaluation of the management agent (MA) containing the adaptive tabu search (ATS) as its search core. In particular, asymmetrical surface optimization problems have been considered. It has been found that symmetrical property of the problems has a significant effect on search performance of the ATS, but MA(ATS). As an average, the MA(ATS) is about 2 times faster than the ATS under both symmetrical and asymmetrical problems. The article also gives reviews on the ATS and the MA(ATS) algorithms. An application on controller design for a coupled system with three-degree-of-freedom is also elaborated.

Abstract: Abstract: - Signals recorded from the human body provide valuable information about the biological activities of body organs. The spectral properties of different organs help in medical diagnosis. Even small changes in functioning of organs is indicated by the changes in their spectra. Fetal heart rate extraction from the abdominal ECG is of great importance because the information carried by it is helpful in assessing appropriately the fetus well-being during pregnancy. Fetal ECG is always contaminated by a drift and interference caused by several bioelectric phenomena, or by various types of noise, such as intrinsic noise from the recorder and noise from electrode-skin contact. The low Signal to noise Ratio of fetal ECG makes it difficult to analyze it effectively. Accurate detection of QRS complex is a pre-requisite in the assessment of fetal heart beat.In this paper we utilize an intelligent Adaptive Filter for noise cancellation in the effective extraction and!
analysis of fetal ECG. The PSO based adaptive noise cancellation technique is shown to be superior to the conventional FIR adaptive filtering.

Abstract: Abstract: - This paper presents an approach for the design of fuzzy logic power system stabilizers using genetic algorithms. In the proposed fuzzy expert system, speed deviation and its derivative have been selected as fuzzy inputs. In this approach the parameters of the fuzzy logic controllers have been tuned using genetic algorithm. Incorporation of GA in the design of fuzzy logic power system stabilizer will add an intelligent dimension to the stabilizer and significantly reduces computational time in the design process. It is shown in this paper that the system dynamic performance can be improved significantly by incorporating a genetic-based searching mechanism. To demonstrate the robustness of the genetic based fuzzy logic power system stabilizer (GFLPSS), simulation studies on multimachine system subjected to small perturbation and three-phase fault have been carried out. Simulation results show the superiority and robustness of GA based power system stabil!
izer as compare to conventionally tuned controller to enhance system dynamic performance over a wide range of operating conditions.

Title of the Paper: Cooperative-PSO-Based PID Neural Network Integral Control Strategy and Simulation Research with Asynchronous Motor Controller Design
Authors as they appear in the Paper: Piao Haiguo, Wang Zhixin
Email addresses of all the authors: phg0805@gmail.com
Number of paper pages: 12
Abstract: Abstract: This paper focuses on the design of robustness controller for asynchronous motor. a new PID neural network-integral (PIDNN-I) synthesis control strategy is proposed for the controller design, in which NARMA-L2, an approximated model of nonlinear auto regressive moving average(NARMA) model, is employed to represent the input-output behavior of the motor and gives out the expected control input. PID neurons network (PIDNN), as a kind of novel neural network model with dynamic characteristics, is adopted in NARMA-L2 to identify the motor. PIDNN integrates the advantages of PID with those of artificial neuron network. However, the conventional back-propagation (BP) algorithm, which easily gets trapped in local minimum and is being adopted in the current model, constrains the identifying ability of PIDNN so as to harm to the completion of the controller design. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, a new population-based evolutionary global optimization!
method, is proposed to replace the BP algorithm to train the neurons model. Cooperative particle swarm optimization (CPSO), an improved version of cooperative random learning particle swarm optimization (CRPSO), is put forward to enhance the performances of the conventional PSO in the design. Due to the existence of the tracking error caused by approximate error between identifying and real system, integral (I) control is introduced into the design, namely adopting PIDNN control in large tracking error scale and PIDNN-I control in small tracking error scale. Compared with conventional PID control strategy, simulation results demonstrate that the CPSO-based PIDNN-I synthesis control strategy has improved the control performances of asynchronous motor in robustness and accuracy efficiently.

Abstract: In this paper, we introduce "Knowledge Diagraph Contribution" (KDC) analysis as a novel categorical time-series method in observing underlying traversal knowledge structure of experts by exploiting varying hypertext (web) presentation formats and knowledge domains. The navigation behaviors were studied by designing hypertext presentation formats and domain text that adheres to content design principles inspired by discourse and text comprehension scholars. As a continuation of previous study by Ismaili & Golden [1], twenty undergraduate psychology students from University of Texas at Dallas participated in this study. Students traversed through different Hypertext (web) presentation formats while reading content from three different knowledge domains controlled for micro (web-page, web-site) and macro (consistent semantic connections across knowledge domains) characteristics. The influence of expertise and web traversal behavior in deriving underlying knowledge!
structures is presented using KDC analysis. In addition, previously reported Classical data analysis (ANOVA) are compared with KDC analysis in highlighting quantitative and qualitative differences of these derived latent knowledge structures. As compared with novice, experts tend to exhibit sequential and semantic traversal patterns across all three web formats, whereas, novices are more influenced by and therefore tend to employ random navigation strategies.

Abstract: Abstract : To build fully automated systems that analyze the information contained in face images, robust and efficient face detection algorithms are required. Automatic human face detection is considered as the initial process of any fully automatic system that analyzes the information contained in human faces (e.g., identity, gender, expression, age, race and pose). In this paper, color segmentation is used as a first step in the human face detection process followed by grouping likely face regions into clusters of connected pixels. Median filtering is then performed to eliminate the small clusters and the resulting blobs are matched against a face pattern (ellipse) subjected to constraints for rejecting non-face blobs. The system was implemented and validated for images with different formats, sizes, number of people, and complexity of the image background. The results obtained were very satisfactory in terms of face identification and performance.

Abstract: Abstract : To build fully automated systems that analyze the information contained in face images, robust and efficient face detection algorithms are required. Automatic human face detection is considered as the initial process of any fully automatic system that analyzes the information contained in human faces (e.g., identity, gender, expression, age, race and pose). In this paper, color segmentation is used as a first step in the human face detection process followed by grouping likely face regions into clusters of connected pixels. Median filtering is then performed to eliminate the small clusters and the resulting blobs are matched against a face pattern (ellipse) subjected to constraints for rejecting non-face blobs. The system was implemented and validated for images with different formats, sizes, number of people, and complexity of the image background. The results obtained were very satisfactory in terms of face identification and performance.
Keywords: Face detection, color segmentation, face pattern (ellipse)

Abstract: Most work in Artificial Intelligence reviews the balance of classic game theory to predict agent behavior in different positions. In this paper we introduce steady competitive analysis. This approach bridges the gap between the standards of desired paths of artificial intelligence, where a strategy must be selected in order to ensure an end result and a balanced analysis. We show that a strategy without risk level is able to guarantee the value obtained in the Nash equilibrium, by more scientific methods of classical computers. Then we will discuss the concept of competitive strategy and illustrate how it is used in a decentralized load balanced position, typical for network problems. In particular, we will show that when there are many agents, it is possible to guarantee an expected final result, which is a 8/9 factor of the final result obtained in the Nash equilibrium. Finally, we will discuss about extending the above concept in Bayesian game and illustrate its!
use in a basic structure of an auction.

Abstract: This paper treats data reduction in array processing for the spatially colored noise case. The purpose is to reduce the computational complexity of the applied signal processing algorithms by mapping the data into a space of lower dimension by means of a linear transformation. We discuss ways to implement the transformation and show that it suffices to estimate the array covariance matrix instead of the noise covariance matrix in the design process of the optimal transformation. Computer simulations are given that illustrate the problem of interference from out-of-band-sources that result when a beamspace transformation is designed to focus on a particular sector. The presents an dynamic state estimator. The method uses ANN based bus load prediction for the prediction step in the DSE.

Abstract: Nowadays, optimization problems with a few thousands of variables become more common. Populationbased algorithms, such as Differential Evolution (DE), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Genetic Algorithms (GAs), and Evolutionary Strategies (ES) are commonly used approaches to solve complex large-scale problems from science and engineering. These approaches all work with a population of candidate solutions. On the other hand, for high-dimensional problems, no matter what is the individuals' distribution, the population is highly sparse. Therefore, intelligent employment of individual candidates can play a crucial role to find optimal solution( s) faster. The most majority of population-based algorithms utilize pseudo-random population initialization when there is no a priori knowledge about the solution. In this paper, a center-based population initialization is proposed and investigated on seven benchmark functions. The obtained results are compared with the result!
s of Normal, Pseudo Random, and Latin Hypercube population initialization schemes. Furthermore, the advantages of the proposed center-based sampling method are investigated by a mathematical proof and also Monte Carlo (simulation) method. The detailed experimental verifications are provided for problems with 50, 500, and 1000 dimensions.

Abstract: Fault diagnosis depends largely on the feature analysis of vibration signals. However, feature extraction for fault diagnosis is difficult because the vibration signals often contain a strong noise component. Noises stronger than the actual fault signal may interfere with diagnosis and, ultimately, cause misdiagnosis. In order to extract the feature from the fault signal highly contaminated by the noise, and accurately identify the fault types, a novel diagnosis method is proposed based on the kurtosis wave and information divergence for fault detection of a rolling element bearing. A kurtosis wave (KW) is defined in the time domain using the vibration signal, and a method to obtain the kurtosis information wave (KIW) is also proposed based on Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence using the kurtosis wave. Practical example of diagnosis for the outer-race defect of a bearing is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. This paper also compares the prop!
osed method with the two envelope analysis techniques, namely the wavelet transform- and the FFT-based envelope analysis techniques. The analyzed results show that the feature of a bearing defect is extracted clearly, and the bearing fault can be effectively identified by the proposed method. However, the fault cannot be detected using either of the compared techniques.

Abstract: The rapid advances in computers have led to the implementation of advanced computer-based methods and new opportunities for the delivery of instruction in engineering education and practice. It is anticipated that the technology will continually change the way of which instruction is imparted throughout the educational system. This study is based on the assumption that students can better understand the difficult subjects by using animated lessons in addition to instructors' explanations called here as multi-board approach. Several modules on selected engineering freshmen courses based on perceptional and conceptual difficulties of the students are prepared. The main features of the developed courseware are (i) animated interactive learning materials, (ii) virtual and real video recording of lab experiments, and (iii) a web based learning environment. The courseware was tested and evaluated at different institutions. Student assessments of the instructional materia!
ls and the multi-board approach were obtained using quantitative evaluation questionnaires. The initial results indicated that this approach was helpful for learning and teaching.

Abstract: Considering the European electric power systems there is a yearly increased consumption of electricity everywhere (from 1% to even 4% in some cases). The processes of developing and connecting existing electric power systems are very complex. Preconditions for connecting two UCTE synchronous zones (1st and 2nd Pan-European synchronous zones) in one European electric power system were created in 2000. The UCTE synchronous zones were formed when the outage of the 400 kV overhead line Ernestinovo – Mladost on September 26, 1991 caused the system to separate. The reconnection was carried out on October 10, 2004 following the important decision which was passed by the UCTE Steering Committee at its meeting in early 2002 in Brussels. Static and dynamic analysis with respect to reconnection of electric power systems, such as transit analysis, analysis of capacity flows, short circuits, N-1, dynamic behavior, angle analysis, voltage stabilities, frequency oscillations, ch!
anges of capacity flows in a short time period, were outlined in the paper. Special attention is paid to the mathematical base significant for carrying out the analysis of conditions in certain electric power system.

Abstract: Errors arising from vagueness or imprecision are often associated with measurements in engineering. The capability of Fuzzy sets to express gradual transition from membership to non-membership and vice versa has broad utility, especially for codifying the types of inaccuracies identified in this paper. The overlap between two or more adjoining Fuzzy sets create very important Fuzzy "patch" that has to date received limited attention. The use the Min and Max Operators is based on the fact that grades of membership of data values are presumed to be known and specified. In practice however, data values that are generated dynamically by systems during operations often vary with time. In such cases, there is need to continuously generate the membership grade corresponding to every data value in a Fuzzy set. In the existing literature, Zadeh, Mamdani and Tagaki-Sugeno have established that the Min- and Max- operators can effectively be used for Fuzzy interpolative inf!
erence. But what has not been done is to define an explicit expression for determining membership function in the overlap region. This paper addresses that concern, as it proposes an alternative approach that gives a systematic determination of membership function based on the Fourier series representation of the envelope of the Fuzzy "patch".

Abstract: :- To override the complexity of SQL, and to facilitate the manipulation of data in databases for common people (not SQL professionals), many researches have turned out to use natural language instead of SQL. The idea of using natural language instead of SQL has prompted the development of new type of processing method called Natural Language Interface to Database systems (NLIDB). The NLIDB system is actually a branch of more comprehensive method called Natural Language Processing (NLP). In general, the main objective of NLP research is to create an easy and friendly environment to interact with computers in the sense that computer usage does not require any programming language skills to access the data; only natural language (i.e. English) is required. Many systems have been developed to use the concept of NLP in different varieties of domains, for example the system LUNAR [19] and the system LADDER [8]. One drawback of previous systems is that the grammar mu!
st be tailor-made for each given database. Another drawback is that many NLP systems cover only a small domain of the English language questions. In this paper we present the design and implementation of a natural language interface to a database system. The system is called Generic Interactive Natural Language Interface to Databases (GINLIDB). It is designed by the use of UML and developed using Visual Basic.NET-2005. Our system is generic in nature given the appropriate database and knowledge base. This feature makes our system distinguishable.

Abstract: Abstract:- This paper presents the application of Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) Artificial Neural Network to classification of handwritten Arabic words. Zernik Moments are used as a feature vector for each word. An efficient way to select the most suitable order of Zernik moments is also presented. The MLP is trained in a supervised fashion using the Back Propagation learning algorithm. Having being trained, the MLP is tested on different set of handwritten Arabic words that has never been seen by the MLP. Several experiments are performed to select the best MLP structure. Experimental results have shown that with the presented structure and the order of the Zernik Moments more than 87% of correct recognition was obtained.

Title of the Paper: a burst assembly method to reduce end-to-end delay in optical burst switching networks

Abstract: Although the offset-time-based scheme can differentiate loss rates of packets according to their QoS levels in optical burst switching networks, it also increases end-to-end delay of packets with higher QoS level. This is because it increases offset time of bursts in proportional to QoS levels of packets which are included in the bursts. In this paper, we propose a burst assembly method that reduces end-to-end delay. Our proposed method includes packets that arrive during the offset time into the currently assembled bursts while the conventional method includes them into the burst assembled next time. Simulation results show that our method offers 12–23% delay reduction for packets with the highest QoS level.

Abstract: The resource-bases view of the firms has become an important conceptual framework in strategic management but has been criticized for lack of an empirical base. A Few researchers have been able to develop measures of resources and capabilities, identify their importance in a specific industry context, and link firms¡¦ resource positions to firm performance. In this study, we examine the relationship between firms¡¦ resources and capabilities and its performance of Taiwan¡¦s IC design industry. The empirical findings are as follows. R&D resources and capabilities has negative effect on firms¡¦ performance. Marketing resources and capabilities, operation resources and capabilities, and human resources management all has positive effect on firms¡¦ performance. Physical capital resource management do not has effect on firms¡¦ performance. The analyses in this study provide more convincing evidence for examining a more long-term relationship between resources and c!
apabilities on firm performance of Taiwanese IC design industry.

Abstract: Prompt diagnosis is the most reliable solution for an effective treatment of melanoma. There is an ongoing research effort to provide computer-aided imaging tools in order to support the diagnosis and early detection of malignant melanomas. The first step towards producing such a diagnosis system is the automated and accurate boundary detection of skin lesion. Therefore, the present study introduces a new, simple, and very fast algorithm that has the ability to detect effectively and automatically the border of potential melanoma. The complexity of the proposed algorithm is O(VN) and thus the execution time is dramatically minimized.

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: Natural images recognition is an important area of machine vision. This paper presents a novel approach for natural images recognition, based on the non-Gaussian distribution property of natural images. In this new method for recognition, first supervised classification is conducted to the natural images based on their label value, then independent components linear transforms are conducted to each category of samples, high-dimensional data are transformed to irrelevant independent components, and finally the probability distance between independent component subspaces is used for unsupervised classification. This classification tree also shows some features of signal processing of biological optic nerve. Experiment on ORL Face Database identity recognition shows that this method is featuring high recognition rate and low time consumption; meanwhile, another experiment is conducted on direction determination of intelligent robots autonomous navigation, also produci!
ng a good result.

Abstract: This paper generalizes the model introduced by Ferrara and Guerrini [13], where two different research lines have been joined together: the one studying the effects of incorporating technological progress in pollution abatement in the Solow-Swan model (Brock and Taylor [6]), and that analyzing the role of a logistic population growth rate within the Solow-Swan model (Ferrara and Guerrini [13]). In this framework, the economy is described by a three dimensional dynamical system, whose solution can be explicitly determined. We note that physical capital can be expressed in closed-form via Hypergeometric functions. As well, we prove the model's solution to be convergent in the log-run. We characterize the economy balanced growth path equilibrium, and find that sustainable growth occurs if technological progress in abatement is faster than technological progress in production. An environmental Kuznets curve may result along the transition to the balanced growth path. !
If there is no technological progress in abatement, then there is no EKC. Furthermore, the economy has a unique equilibrium (a node), which is locally asymptotically stable.

Abstract: The track estimation of not-cooperated target is difficult in space target tracking. Most researchers are accustomed to focusing their attention on the measurements from target itself. In a typical situation, there are one cooperated target and many not-cooperated targets. All targets can be measured by one same sensor synchronously in a common clutter environment while the cooperated target has additional accurate locating data. A new method of measurement error transfer and correction was proposed based on the supposition of error correlation. The conception, principle and technique of this method were researched. All algorithms of key procedures were built. Simulation results show that the measurement error of cooperated target can be transferred to not-cooperated target in order to correct its measurement error if the errors are from the same sensor synchronously. It is also concluded that the accuracy of measurement of the later can be improved remarkably if t!
he error correlation is high.

Abstract: The actual implementation of integrated health information systems (HIS) has always been a challenge. Implementing integrated HIS are increasingly seen as the way to achieve quality and continuity in treatment, reducing clinical errors, and supporting health care professional in providing care. With the rapid growth in popularity of integrated HIS package, an increasing number of health care sectors are making the decision to implement an integrated HIS. Integrated HIS can provide significant improvements in efficiency across an environment of health care. However, there are also hazards associated with implementation of integrated HIS. The implementation of an integrated HIS package is an enormously complex task required specific project management skills and knowledge, a lack of which often leads to projects failing to stay within budget and meet deadlines. The critical success factors for integrated HIS implementation include top management support and a clea!
r business vision, and issues specific to HIS such as implementation strategy and software configuration. However, some of the more important factors are the issues related to re-engineering business processes and the integration of various core processes to the HIS. This paper investigates the role and impact of business process management in successful integrated HIS implementation. The paper starts by defining business process management and the integrated HIS critical success factors. The impact of business process management on successful integrated HIS implementation is then assessed through looking at the experiences of several health care sectors. The paper concludes by documenting best practices for capitalizing on business process management for successful integrated HIS implementation.

Abstract: Worst severe weather brings human disasters. The useful way to decrease the national disaster is building more atmosphere sense equipments to monitor the climate¡¯s change. The data produced by these sense equipments is huge amount and plays an important role for weather prediction. Moreover, new sense equipments enrich weather data. Everyday there are terabyte and petabyte-scale data are collected. Retrieving such information requires accessing to large volumes of data, thus an efficient organization is necessary both to reduce access time and to allow efficient knowledge extraction. A new class of ¡®data grid¡¯ infrastructure is efficient to support management, transport, distributed access to, and analysis of these datasets by potentially thousands of users. Intelligent agents can play an important role in helping achieve the ¡®data grid¡¯ vision. In this paper, we present a multi-agent based framework, to implement manage, share, and query weather data in a ge!
ographical distributed environment. In each node, some services are designed for querying and accessing datasets based on agent environment. Information retrieval can be conducted either locally, by considering portions of weather data, or in a distributed scenario, by exploiting global metadata. We believe this will be a useful platform for research on weather data sharing system in a national area.

Abstract: This paper focuses on the decision-making behavior based on the complex adaptive system. Firstly, the paper reviewed the related work of the complex adaptive system and the edge of chaos in complex systems in different fields. Secondly, a general decision model of an agent is established and the condition that an agent is just at the edge of chaos is defined. Thirdly, making use of Langton¡¯s coefficient widely used in the research on cellular automata, the paper defines the edge of chaos that describes the decision behavior of agent. Finally, the paper conducts an evolutionary artificial life experiment. Then the connection between the behavior at the edge of chaos and the individual adaptability is illustrated.

Title of the Paper: Effects of Humidity and fog conductivity on the Leakage Current Waveforms of Ceramics for Outdoor Insulators
Authors as they appear in the Paper: Suwarno and J. Parhusip
Email addresses of all the authors: suwarno@ieee.org
Number of paper pages: 11
Abstract: Since long time ago, ceramic insulators are widely being used in power systems. The performances of the insulators such as surface resistance and flash over voltages greatly affected by environmental conditions such as pollution and humidity. The pollution may arise in the form of fogs. A large leakage current (LC) may flow on the surface and degradation may take place. In long term the degradation may lead to the flash over of the insulators. This paper reports the experimental results on the effects of humidity and fog conductivity on leakage current characteristics of ceramics. The samples used are blocks of ceramics with dimension of 250 x 50 x 20 mm3. The samples were made from same materials for outdoor ceramic insulators. The samples were put in a test chamber with controlled humidity and artificial pollution conditions. AC voltage with frequency of 50 Hz was applied. The magnitudes as well as harmonic content of the LC were analyzed. The experimental re!
sults indicated that under clean fog, LC magnitude almost linearly increased with applied voltage at low and medium RH. At high RH, LC magnitude drastically increased compared to those of low RH. At low RH the dominant harmonics number are 5th , 3 rd and 7th with relatively large amplitude while at medium and high RH the dominant harmonic components of the LC waveforms are 5th and 3rd with smaller amplitude compared to it fundamentals resulting in smaller THD. Under fog condition, LC magnitude increase with fog conductivity. Compared to the LC magnitude under clean fog, the LC magnitude under salt fog was much higher than those from clean fog. At high fog conductivity the oscillation behaviour of LC magnitude dependence on applied voltage was observed due to the wetting effect of sample surface by the fog and drying effect caused by the higher LC. The THD of leakage current under salt fog increased with the applied voltage. LC amplitude increases with applied voltage!
and RH. LC waveforms distortion significantly decreased with the s
alt fog conductivity resulting in smaller THD. At given applied voltage the harmonic components decrease with the increase of fog conductivity.

Abstract: Least flow time priority (LFF-PRIORITY) load distribution approach was developed to deal with task size priority and task deadline priority. One of the most critical problem of this approach is that it does not consider the task interdependency. In this paper we propose a dynamically load balancing technique called INTERDEP-PRIORITY which takes into consideration the task interdependency. The testing results clearly show that approximately 70% of tasks meet their deadlines under INTERDEP-PRIORITY strategy.

Abstract: Word semantic similarity measurement is a basic research area in the fields of natural language processing, intelligent retrieval, document clustering, document classification, automatic question answering, word sense disambiguation, machine translation, etc.. To address the issues existing in current approaches to word semantic similarity measurement, such as the low term coverage and difficult update, a novel word semantic similarity measurement method based on web search engines is proposed, which exploits the information, including page count and snippets, in retrieved results to do calculation. The proposed method can resolve the issues mentioned above due to the huge volumes of information in the Web. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: Least flow time priority (LFF-PRIORITY) load distribution approach was developed to deal with task size priority and task deadline priority. One of the most critical problem of this approach is that it does not consider the task interdependency. In this paper we propose a dynamically load balancing technique called INTERDEP-PRIORITY which takes into consideration the task interdependency. The testing results clearly show that approximately 70% of tasks meet their deadlines under INTERDEP-PRIORITY strategy.

Abstract: Multiprocessors have been employed as a powerful computing means for executing real-time tasks, especially where a uniprocessor system would not be sufficient to execute all the tasks. This paper investigates dynamic scheduling algorithm for real-time tasks in a multiprocessor systems to obtain a feasible solution using genetic algorithms combined with earliest deadline first (EDF) and shortest computation time first (SCTF). A comparative study of the results obtained from simulations shows that genetic algorithm can be used to schedule tasks to meet their deadlines time , in addition to obtain high processor utilization..

Abstract: This study proposed an appraisal-based emotion model that integrates emotion, cognition, satisfaction, and post adoption behavior in understanding users¡¦ continuance intention of information system (IS). Three hundred and fifty web portal site users were obtained from a survey. The paper assessed the psychometric properties of the measures through confirmatory factor analysis and then employed structural equation modeling analysis in order to examine the prospective model to better predict users¡¦ continuous adoption of IS. The results show that positive and negative emotions mediate the effect of confirmation and directly predict user satisfaction. However, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use predict the level of user satisfaction better than emotions and perceived usefulness is the stronger predictor of user satisfaction than other variables.

Title of the Paper: A new boundary element approach for the 3D compressible fluid flow around obstacles
Authors as they appear in the Paper: Luminita Grecu
Email addresses of all the authors: lumigrecu@hotmail.com
Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: Abstract: - The paper presents a boundary element approach for the problem of the finite span airfoil in a subsonic compressible fluid flow. The singular boundary integral equation equivalent with the mathematical model characterized by partial differential equation is solved in this paper by the use of constant and linear isoparametric boundary elements of Lagrangean type. A special attention is given to the treatment of the singular integrals because their evaluation major influences the numerical solutions accuracy. Some aspects about how to treat the integrals of singular kernels in case of solving 3D problems are presented. An efficient method that is applied consists in using suitable geometrical transformations of coordinates to eliminate the singularities. A computer code based on this method is made and numerical results are obtained. The computer code is tested by making an analytical checking and the results show the efficiency of the method.

Abstract: Now-a-days medical domain is a popular area for the artificial intelligence (AI) research. Many of the early AI systems were attempted to apply rule-based reasoning in developing computer-based diagnosis system in medical domain. However, for a broad and complex medical domain the effort of applying rule-based system has encountered several problems. Today many systems are serving multi-purpose i.e. tend to support not only in diagnosis but also in number of other complex tasks and combining more than one AI techniques in the health care domain. In this paper, we will investigate the state-of-the art of case-based reasoning (CBR), a recent AI method in the medical domain. A case study in the stress medicine domain is presented here. Today stress has become a major concern in our society. The demand of the decision support system (DSS) in stress domain is increasing rapidly. However, the application of DSS in this domain is limited so far due to the weak domain th!
eory. In our on going research, we have proposed a solution analyzing the relation between stress and finger temperature using case-based reasoning and other AI techniques namely case-based reasoning, textual CBR, rule-based reasoning, and fuzzy logic to support classification and diagnosis in stress management.

Abstract: As concerns the process to traverse the macroeconomics analysis reasoning of the budgetary earnings and expenses, there shall be crossed the phases whose target consists in defining and understanding the „the balanced production" term. The issue of the consequences generated by the increase of the real quantity of money on the interest rate from the transmission mechanism point of view is by means of the monetary policy management mechanism that the National Bank shall control the money stock as an independent variable, and, consequently, shall also control the interest rate and the available income as associate variables. The multiplier modelling process can make it possible to render evident a possible interaction between the central bank and the other banks as concerns the money offer. This interaction implies an adjustment mechanism that consists in re-defining the monetary base, in re-formulating the multiplier, and in studying the money – credit relationship.

Abstract: In this paper we tried to group in three classes the companies listed without interruption for 6 years from Bucharest Stock Exchange. We used cluster analysis, namely an iterative method of clustering, the k-means algorithm. Using data results, we have made tests for the three classes of prediction using discriminant analysis. Fisher's functions have helped us to make predictions on the affiliation of a new listed company on one of the 3 classes of risk. In this study, emphasis was placed on the liquidity of companies, but also on how efficient are used the raw materials, the basic elements in the current financial crisis. This should give us a clearer picture of companies that are ready to get over this difficult time.

Abstract: In this paper we have analyzed some critical implementation factors of an ERP project implementation in universities and their interdependencies. Taking into consideration that for industry implementations there are already many performed studies we started by considering university implementations as a particular case for the industry ones. Starting from this, we have identified and analyzed differences for the case of universities regarding communication structure, management involvement, organization, implementation team competences, legacy systems, inter-department communication, user training, suppliers/ customers' partnership, external consultants. The conclusions of this study are going to be used in developing an evaluation framework of ERP solutions for higher education management.

Abstract: The aim of the study was to apply teachable agents into educational game meant for children less than 12 years of age and evaluate the outcome in context of cognitive psychology of learning. The study was done in two phases: design phase and evaluation phase (N=300). The design of the game was done in order to support relatively free use of teachable agents in an easy-to-use environment. The main findings of the study were a clear causality between quality of the taught semantic networks in game world and players' knowledge in real life and an evidence that learning away is an important feature when trying to enable conceptual change in educational games.

Abstract: The problem of setting the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) weights on links such that congestion can be avoided is proved to be NP-hard. Many iterative heuristics have been applied to solve the OSPF weight setting (OSPFWS) problem. As the size of any combinatorial optimization problem increases, it becomes more diffi- cult to find an optimum solution using sequential algorithms. Parallelization of modern iterative heuristics has been proven to produce improved solution precision and timing. In this paper, we investigate the parallelization of Tabu Search and apply two variants of a Parallel Tabu Search (PTS) heuristic on the OSPFWS problem. It is shown through experimental results that both PTS approaches produced better solutions quality compared to the sequential heuristics; specifically for larger topologies. In one approach, we propose a new design for our parallel cooperative search algorithm, which performs better than the conventional parallel heuristic. The!
purpose of this new design is to induce diversification into the search to explore a larger search space. We also show that the new approach performs better than the conventional parallel heuristic.

Title of the Paper: An Effective Sampling Method for Decision Trees Considering Comprehensibility and Accuracy

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: Because the target domain of data mining using decision trees usually contains a lot of data, sampling is needed. But selecting proper samples for a given decision tree algorithm is not easy, because each decision tree algorithm has its own property in generating trees and selecting appropriate samples that represent given target data set well is difficult. As the size of samples grows, the size of generated decision trees grows with some improvement in error rates. But we cannot use larger and larger samples, because it¡¯s not easy to understand large decision trees and data overfitting problem can happen. This paper suggests a progressive approach in determining a proper sample size to generate good decision trees with respect to generated tree size and accuracy. Experiments with two representative decision tree algorithms, CART and C4.5 show very promising results.

Abstract: The explosion of the web has led to a situation where a majority of the traffic on the Internet is web related. Today, practically all of the popular web sites arc served from single locations. This necessitates frequent long distance network transfers of data (potentially repeatedly) which results in a high response time for users, and is wasteful of the available network bandwidth. This paper presents a new approach to web replication, where each of the replicas resides in a different part of the network, and the browser is automatically and transparently directed to the ¡§best¡¨ server. This paper presents a transnational hierarchical global patch consistent model called THGPCM (Transnational Hierarchical Global Patch Consistent Model). Improving the OPDS (Original Patching Data Source) enabled network equipments, capable of updating patch parameter that existed in enterprise with specified OPDS partially dependency relationships. Apply scenario can reduce the g!
lobal patch service cost of transnational enterprise network equipments and minimum the turnaround time of patch service delay.

Abstract: The main target here is to determine the orbit of an artificial satellite and to analyze its implications, using least squares algorithms through sequential Givens rotations as the method of estimation, and data of the GPS receivers. This approach longs for to improve the performance of the orbit estimation process and, at the same time, to minimize the computational procedure cost. Perturbations due to high order geopotential and direct solar radiation pressure were taken into account. The position of the GPS antenna on the satellite body that, lately, consists of the influence of the satellite attitude motion in the orbit determination process, was also considered. An application has been done, using real data from the Topex/Poseidon satellite, whose ephemeris were available. In a process of high accuracy orbit determination, frequently a sinusoidal residual behavior is observed during its error analysis. Actually, it is the result of unmodeled residual accelerat!
ions, which present frequencies near or multiple to the satellite period and appear by different reasons. Assuming that we cope with the unmodeled accelerations, which have no direct physical reasons, or that the modeling effort is not worthwhile, such accelerations will also be analyzed, empirically.

Abstract: Machine Learning is a computational methodology that provides automatic means of improving programmed tasks from experience. As a subfield of Machine Learning, Grammatical Inference (GI) attempts to learn structural models, such as grammars, from diverse data patterns, such as speech, artificial and natural languages, sequences provided by bioinformatics databases, amongst others. Here we are interested in identifying artificial languages from sets of positive and eventually negative samples of sentences. The present research intends to evaluate the effectiveness and usefulness of grammatical inference (GI) in control systems. The ultimate far-reaching goal addresses the issue of robots for self-assembly purposes. At least two benefits are to be drawn. First, on the epistemological level, it unifies two apparently distinct scientific communities, namely formal languages theory and robot control communities. Second, on the technological level, blending research from!
both fields results in the appearance of a richer community, as has been proven by the emergence of many multidisciplinary fields. Can we integrate diversified works dealing with robotic self-assembly while concentrating on grammars as an alternative control methodology? Our aim is to answer positively this central question. As far as this paper is concerned, we set out the broad methodological lines of the research while stressing the integration of these different approaches into one single unifying entity.

Abstract: MEMS-based storage is being developed as a new storage media due to its salient characteristics such as high-parallelism, high density, and low-power consumption. Because physical structures of MEMS-based storage is different from those of hard disks, new software management techniques for MEMS-based storage are needed. Specifically, MEMS-based storage has thousands of parallel-activating heads, which requires parallelism-aware request scheduling algorithms to maximize the performance of the storage media. In this paper, we compare various versions of I/O scheduling algorithms that exploit high-parallelism of MEMS-based storage devices. Trace-driven simulations show that parallelism-aware algorithms can be effectively used for high capacity mass storage servers because they perform better than other algorithms in terms of the average response time when the workload intensity becomes heavy.

Abstract: The idea of the present paper is to study the swing-by maneuver between one of the planets of the Solar System and a cloud of particles. This is what happens when a fragmented comet crosses the orbit of a planet like Jupiter, Saturn, etc. We used the dynamical system that is formed by two main bodies (the Sun and one of the planets of the Solar System) and we assumed that they are in circular orbits around their center of mass and a cloud of particles is moving under the gravitational attraction of these two primaries. The motion is assumed to be planar for all the particles and the dynamics given by the "patched-conic" approximation is used, which means that a series of two-body problems are used to generate analytical equations that describe the problem. The main obejctive is to understand the change of the orbit of this cloud of particles after the close approach with the planet. It is assumed that all the particles that belong to the cloud have semi-major axis !
a ± da and eccentricity e ± de before the close approach with the planet. It is desired to known those values after the close approach. In particular, we will study the effects of the periapsis distance in this maneuver.

Abstract: An orbital maneuver is an important phase of a space mission. The idea is to change the orbit of a spacecraft, in order to be able to complete the mission goals required. It can be done to insert a spacecraft in its nominal orbit or during the mission to compensate undesired effects of perturbations. To perform the orbital maneuvers, a software that calculates an optimal maneuver is developed. This method will be used as a reference for comparison and analises of the suboptimal methods to be used on board. This method id based on an analytical development that generate equations that can be computed in a shorter time, allowing real time applications. In all the simulations, low thrust is used to make the maneuvers.

Abstract: The development cycle of a decision support system involves many resources, time and high cost and above all, the database schema used in the system is built only for some specific tasks. So, a relational database schema or a data warehouse prototype cannot be easily mapped and reused in multiple DSS projects. In this paper we propose an object-oriented (OO) approach and an OO database schema to accomplish the DSS implementation which require a multidimensional modeling at the conceptual level using fundamental concepts of OO (class, attribute, method, object, polymorphism, inheritance, hierarchy) to represent all multidimensional properties of a data warehouse, at both the structural and dynamic levels.

Abstract: Developing Decision Support Systems in public institutions such as the National Power Grid Companies require applying very efficient methods in order to support the decisions. The decision support system in the National Power Grid Companies can integrate the energy prediction achieved by some data mining algorithms that help managers to fundament their investment decisions in order to justify the financial feasibility. This is done by estimating all the benefits and costs during the life cycle. In order to estimate the revenues, we need to know with certain accuracy the output of these power plants. Due to the fact that the wind speed significantly fluctuates even during a day at the same location, the wind power output is difficult to be forecasted by statistical methods. In this paper we apply the data mining techniques on the available measured weather data in order to predict the wind power output and determine the financial feasibility of investment.

Abstract: Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain is an increasingly useful tool in the study of neurodegenerative diseases. MRI is currently the fastest developing medical imaging modality which is applied to an increasingly number of different medical diagnostic situations. Serial acquisition structural images of a subject’s brain are acquired over time offers opportunities to monitor the progression of tissue volume changes in fine detail at all anatomical locations. As a result, the analysis of structural MRI data has been an active area of image analysis research for many years especially in early diagnosis, tracking of disease progression, which makes it possible to investigate how, for instance, a patient responds to treatment. The aim of the paper is to investigate and analyze brain tissue changes in Alzheimer’s disease using non-rigid medical image registration and statistical analysis techniques. In our proposed approach, first the source and t!
he target images are affinely registered to correct global differences between the images and then non-rigid registration based on free-form deformation using B-spline approximation is performed on the images. The resulting displacement values from the non-rigid registration are further investigated for deformation in the entire brain to detect typical deformation patterns. Finally, statistical method namely t-test is performed for analysis of the results. The initial results indicate that the tissue volume change in the brain occurs predominantly in the hippocampus of the brain.

Abstract: The quality of delivering IPTV services depends on the network QoS and bandwidth of broadband service providers. The possibility to offer high bandwidth capacity of WiMAX technology is attractive to offer IPTV services. There is an increasing trend to deploy WiMAX technology for offering those services. Network QoS for offering IPTV services depends on network efficiency. To satisfy QoS requirements for offering IPTV over WiMAX technology we should take into consideration routing metrics that affect directly to the QoS. Here we will consider three metrics: bandwidth, losses and delays. For transmitting multimedia (in this case IPTV) services over WiMAX it is desired to design some controlling mechanisms for solving different problems in a network in case of packet delays, losses etc. Because of complex nature of controlling mechanisms it is desired to design intelligent controlling techniques. One of the intelligent techniques that would be present in this paper is!
fuzzy logic controller. In this paper we will design FLC using Matlab software. As input parameters will be three routing metrics mentioned above, whereas as output parameter will be network efficiency. The aim is to obtain better values of network efficiency using different rules from Rule Editor and using appropriate defuzzification method.

Title of the Paper: Evaluation of Two Integer Ambiguity Resolution Methods for Real Time GPS Positioning

Number of paper pages: 11
Abstract: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system which allows the user to determine position and time with high precision. However, phase measurements has an inherent difficulty, which is the ambiguity determination in number of signal wavelengths. Once ambiguities are resolved to an integer value, positioning can reach sub-meter level in accuracy. Sub-meter positioning accuracy is required in many applications, such as aircraft navigation and landing, attitude and orbit determination of satellites, navigating agricultural vehicles, among others applications. The purpose of this work is to evaluate performance of LSAST and LAMBDA methods for real time integer ambiguity resolution in situations of static and kinematic positioning. Position coordinates of a GPS receiver ("user") are estimated using data of another receiver placed on a landmark with known coordinates ("base"), using phase double difference positioning technique, and an itera!
ted least-squares as float solution estimator. Positioning errors are shown with half meter level for static and less than meter level for kinematic positioning.

Abstract: Runoff drags pollutant from different urban surfaces causing diffuse pollution in natural or artificial water bodies. To solve this problem, several solutions have been developed to purify the run-off water before the final spill, but still it is necessary to improve the applicability and efficiency of these systems. The project that is presented in this paper is focused on developing a System for Catchment, Pre-treatment and Treatment (SCPT) of contaminated runoff coming from impervious surfaces. The concept of SCPT is an on-line, up-flow filtration system, with the main elements of pervious pavements, which are being geotextiles and open grade gravel. The objectives of this research are to determine the influence of the main factors that affect SCPT efficiency and to evaluate the effects of SCPT long term use in its operational behavior.

Abstract: An experimental investigation of the suction side boundary layer of a large scale turbine cascade has been performed to study the effect of Reynolds number on the boundary layer transition process at large (1600000) and moderate (590000) Reynolds numbers. The boundary layer development has been investigated by means of a two-component laser Doppler velocimeter. Time traces of the instantaneous velocities and boundary layer velocity and turbulence fields provide a physical insight of the different transition processes for the two Reynolds numbers. Surface mounted hot-film gauges were used to measure the quasi wall shear layer, which is proportional to the wall shear stress. Statistical analysis of the instantaneous data, including statistical moments, probability density function and intermittency function distributions, provides quantitative information on the state of advancement of the transition process at the two different Reynolds numbers.

Email addresses of all the authors: constantin.volosencu@aut.upt.ro
Number of paper pages: 14
Abstract: This paper presents a pseudo-equivalence of digital fuzzy PID controllers with linear PID controllers in the continuous time domain. Transfer functions and equivalence relations between controller’s parameters are obtained for the common structures of the fuzzy PID controllers. The pseudo-equivalence is made using a graphic analytical analysis based on the input-output transfer characteristics of the fuzzy block, the linear characteristic of the fuzzy block around the origin and the usage of the gain in origin obtained as an origin limit of the variable gain of the fuzzy block. An algorithm of equivalence is presented. The paper presents a unitary theory, which may be applied to the most general fuzzy PID controllers, developed using all kind of membership functions, rule bases, inference methods and defuzzification methods. The term “pseudo-equivalence” is emphasized because there is no straight equivalence between the non-linear fuzzy controllers and the li!
near PID controllers. A case study of a control system using linear and fuzzy controllers is presented. The action mode of the fuzzy controller is analyzed. Based on the transient characteristics a comparison analyses is done. Better control quality criteria are demonstrated for control systems using fuzzy controllers.

Abstract: By virtue of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT), E-Learning becomes an asset in the field of training and education. Many key research areas are identified where an innovative utilization of technologies are needed in the E-Learning Environments. One of the key research areas is the personalization in the E-Learning environments which needs the content and activities within a unit of learning can be adapted based on the background details of the learners. Among many factors to facilitate the learning process, personalization role to provide the E-Learning Environments oriented towards learners. Personalization encompasses activities over learning content and learning sequence activities. As a new orientation of personalization this paper proposes the personalized intra circle e-Learning Environment for interdisciplinary studies. The proposed system brings out another dimension for the personalization in the E-Learning Environments by providing domai!
n specific content to the learner, especially for the post graduate and dual degree disciplinary courses. Generally the interdisciplinary courses provide their own difficulties to the learner from other discipline of courses. This system fades out the difficulties of these courses in the form of generating domain specific content to the learner. The system encompasses two processes for developing the course content and it personalizes the course content in three perspectives such as system's perspective, learner's perspective and teacher's perspective. To be best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt from the different perspective of personalization and of course this will lead a new direction of research in the field of E-Learning Environment.

Abstract: In order to generate the enthusiasm and implicitly, the customers loyalty, every organization must efficiently manage a marketing database The information stocked in the databases (gathered by means of the direct contacts with the sales representatives, as a result of some marketing researches, registrations on the companies' websites, etc) allow an efficient management of the customers' portfolio, the determination of a customer profile and an efficient position of the offers on the market by means of the on-line analytical processing (OLAP) technique. In this paper, we emphasize the main capabilities of a CRM software that we developed and applied on the customers' portfolio of a Romanian hotel. The multidimensional analysis of the sales applied to the information about customers stored in the software's database using OLAP technique provides a real support for the marketing managers' decision making process. By testing the functions of this software, we reveal t!
he possibilities to create a personalized CRM strategy, to determine customers' profitability using a RFM model and to determine the best offer positioning, taking into account the distribution of sales according to the most important segmentation criteria, using online analytical processing.

Abstract: In this paper, first, the performance of the Wiener filter in the frequency domain for image restoration is compared with that in the space domain on images degraded by white noise. After finding that the Wiener filter in the frequency domain is more effective than that in the space domain in an ideal case, power spectrum estimation methods for the Wiener filter in the frequency domain are discussed. Three approaches are considered; frequency band division processing (FBDP), modified FBDP and averaging high frequency components (AHFC). The performances of the Wiener filter with the three approaches for power spectrum estimation are investigated through computer simulation experiments. It is shown that the frequency domain Wiener with the modified FBDP provides a superior performance.

Abstract: A significant problem that has emerged in the field of construction and demolition waste management (C&D), involves the integrated optimization of the entire C&D waste supply chain. The critical decisions to be made include among others: (i) the determination of the optimal deconstruction depth for each EOL construction site before the demolition process, and (ii) the design of an effective transportation and recovery network for shipping deconstruction products and waste from deconstruction/demolition sites to potential recyclers/customers and waste disposal sites. In this context, we propose a novel integrated model for optimizing the reverse logistics processes of multi-type end-of-life buildings/construction sites in a single planning period. An additional innovative feature of the proposed methodological approach is that the final recipients/recyclers may provide different pricing policies in a stepwise manner, depending on the quantity of materials that they !
receive. Finally, a specific case study is presented in order to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed decision-making model, while few interesting managerial insights regarding the behavior of the optimal solution are obtained and discussed.

Abstract: The work considers road lane parameters that correlate with steering angle of a car and which are suitable for accurate prediction of steering signal using neural network technique. Four different parameters, which can be used in driver's assistance system and are based on position, angles and curvature of the lane marker, are proposed and their correspondence to steering signal is analyzed. The steering signal is predicted with the precision of 95% to 97%, depending on a combination of the visually-based parameters provided for the neural network. The work is performed using signals from real road driving.

Abstract: In this paper the problem of dominant point detection on digital curves is addressed. Based on an initial set of curvature points, our approach adds iteratively significant points by looking for the higher curvature contour points. The process continues until all the sums of the distances of contour points in the arcs subtended to the chord between two next dominant points is less then a predefined threshold. A final refinement process adjusts the position of located dominant points by a minimum integral square error criterion. We test our method by comparing its performance with other well known dominant point extraction techniques succesfully. In the last section some examples of polygonal approximation are shown.

Abstract: The power transformers are the key equipments in the power system. To keep the stable operation of the transformers, it¡¯s necessary to get their state information on a real-time basis. Therefore, the efficient online monitoring system is developed which obtain the state of the transformers by the accelerometers attached on the tank. The locations of these accelerometers can be determined by the method of varying current with constant frequency. The vibration intensity change is used to initially detect the windings' state by online monitoring the vibration signal of the shocks. Then the time-frequency analysis further processes these signals in order to detect the fault information contained. The short-circuit experiments have been done on the large power transformer of 50000KVA, which finds that the time-frequency analysis can be used to more precisely detect the fault characteristics of windings. Compared with traditional off line short circuit reactance method,!
the time-frequency analysis is more effective.

Abstract: Automatic information retrieval in the field of shape recognition has been widely covered by many research fields. Various techniques have been developed using different approaches such as intensity-based, model- based and shape-based methods. Whichever is the way to represent the objects in images, a recognition method should be robust in the presence of scale change, translation and rotation. In this paper we present a new recognition method based on a curve alignment technique, for planar image contours. The method consists of various phases including extracting outlines of images, detecting significant points and aligning curves. The dominant points can be manually or automatically detected. The matching phase uses the idea of calculating the overlapping indices between shapes as similarity measures. To evaluate the effectiveness of the algorithm, two databases of 216 and 99 images have been used. A performance analysis and comparison is provided by !
precision-recall curves.

Title of the Paper: Comparison of Travel-time statistics of Backscattered Pulses from Gaussian and Non-Gaussian Rough Surfaces
Authors as they appear in the Paper:
Email addresses of all the authors:
Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: Abstract: - Travel-time statistics of backscattered pulses from Gaussian and non-Gaussian (Rayleigh and Exponential) surfaces are studied and compared in this paper. It is found that in both cases (the Gaussian and non-Gaussian surfaces), the probability distributions of the first and the second travel times are all only determined by a dimensionless parameter. Moreover, this study also found that the proportional relations between the dimensionless parameter and the median values of the first and the second travel times are remarkably different for Gaussian and non-Gaussian cases. Then the statistical parameters of the rough surface can be estimated from travel-time statistics of backscattered pulses above if the probability distributions of the surface elevation and slope (PDSES) are known in advance. However, PDSES are often unknown in most of practical applications, and little work has been applied to the problem of specifying the statistical characteristic of !
the rough surface in advance (Gaussian or non-Gaussian). To solve this problem, on the basis of the relations between the median values of travel times and the altitude of source, a new theoretical method is proposed to judge the rough surfaces with Gaussian, Rayleigh and Exponential distributions. It is believed that the method proposed in this paper will be helpful to improve the estimate accuracy the parameters of a rough surface.

Abstract: This paper presents a distributed adaptive scheme for detecting faults in wireless sensor networks. Each sensor nodes makes a local decision based on the comparisons of its own readings with those of neighbors, along with the dissemination of the decision to them, if necessary. At the end of each fault detection cycle, each node dynamically adjusts critical parameters in the distributed fault detection algorithm, such as node degree and thresholds, resulting in high performance for a wide range of fault probabilities. By extensive computer simulation the scheme is shown to be scalable with the number of faulty sensor nodes except for sparse networks where the average node degree is extremely low.

Abstract: - In environmental policy making, the objectives are part of the decision-making problem. Policy making for sustainable development involves problems with lack of clear and definitive problem formulation which are to be solved by various stakeholders who judge the solutions with different values. In addition, risks and uncertainties involving future events and risks and uncertainties associated to the costs, benefits or effectiveness of a given policy add complexity to the decision making. Because of these characteristics, modeling and assessment methods alone are not enough to provide an adequate decision making support. In other words, policy making involves the existence of "wicked problems. This paper presents an approach to support the solution of wicked problems in policy making for sustainable development.

Abstract: From our experience with customers who deploy customized software products, we have learned that deriving products from shared software assets requires more than complying with quality standards like ISO9126. Additionally, developers must consider what we call the quality profile of the final product. A process that matches the quality profile of final product during product derivation helps provide and validate industrial software application solutions. This paper describes this matching concept and its application in a case study of the development of a product lifecycle reporting tool at a large organization. Also we propose a tool to improve compliance with ISO Quality Standards and that could enhance quality control in derivation process.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present an automated design methodology for analog blocks. This method focuses on analog blocks design parameters automatic generation according to specific design constraints. This method is based on analog circuits' mathematical models. These models are generated thanks to a "Design Of Experiment" (DOE) technique. The DOE technique takes as input electrical simulation results of a given circuit for different component geometries. DOE generates polynomial equations of the circuits' outputs. Using these equations and according to given design specifications, the methodology provides the most suitable design parameter values. This efficient methodology reduces extensive simulations to find the right design parameters with respect of circuit accuracy.

Abstract: Regularly millions of data is being collected and warehoused. These data contains very useful information, such as, ATM transactions, credit card bills, emails, advertising campaigns etc. Competitors always having dream to get extracted knowledge from it. Although, analysis on customer relationship is getting more realistic and interesting factor for the augmentation of every organization similarly, finding the hidden gold is also promoting for the success of organization. The major critical success factor for any Customer Relationship Management (CRM) includes, Relationship Management, Sales Management, Use of Technology, Opportunity Management etc. In this paper we proposed, analyzed and validated that data mining is also a major success factor in the success of CRM. We first proposed the CRM model and then described the main role of each characteristic, further more, we applied data mining techniques for the generation of new rules and patterns. Most of the orga!

Abstract: Word semantic similarity measurement is a basic research area in the fields of natural language processing, intelligent retrieval, document clustering, document classification, automatic question answering, word sense disambiguation, machine translation, etc.. To address the issues existing in current approaches to word semantic similarity measurement, such as the low term coverage and difficult update, a novel word semantic similarity measurement method based on web search engines is proposed, which exploits the information, including page count and snippets, in retrieved results to do calculation. The proposed method can resolve the issues mentioned above due to the huge volumes of information in the Web. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Title of the Paper: Some Numerical Experiments on Multi-criterion Tabu Programming for Finding Pareto-optimal Solutions
Authors as they appear in the Paper: Jerzy Balicki
Email addresses of all the authors: Balicki@chello.pl
Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: Decision making for complex systems is based on multi-criterion-optimization. A decision making support can be applied to find the Pareto solutions. Multi-criterion tabu programming is a new paradigm for that task. Similarly to rules applied in the genetic programming, tabu programming solves problems by using a tabu algorithm that modifies some computer programs. We consider the multi-criterion problem of task assignment, where both a workload of a bottleneck computer and the cost of system are minimized; in contrast, a reliability of the distributed system is maximized. Furthermore, there are constraints for the performance of the distributed systems and the probability that all tasks meet their deadlines. What is more, constraints related to memory limits and computer locations are imposed on the feasible task assignment. Finally, results of some numerical experiments have been presented.

Abstract: The Ocean is a dynamic and complex environment; it is a very complicated transmission channel that can change rapidly with the environmental conditions. Hence, to avoid failure of underwater monitoring missions, it's crucial to predict the behavior of underwater acoustic channel. In this paper, several fundamental key aspects of underwater acoustic channel are investigated. A model characterizing the underwater acoustic channel is introduced, and how underwater channel can be simulated is discussed. In addition, this paper describes a methodology for top-down design, modeling, and simulation of underwater channel using hardware description language VHDL-AMS. The following analysis may provide precious guidelines for the design of underwater communication systems.
Keywords: underwater communication, underwater channel model, behavior modeling, acoustic signal, VHDL-AMS language.

Abstract: The work presented proposes two diverse FPGA based architectures with high-speed and low area constraints for suitable implementation of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). The main focus of this paper is to compare different design architectures existing in literature with the proposed ones, based on application specific constraints. The high speed design presented here proposes a good engineering solution to high speed applications where area constraint can not be totally neglected. The high speed design manages to achieve a reasonable 6 Gbps throughput despite of the fact that it only covers mere 5800 slices in area .Low area architecture achieves a decent throughput of 1.98 Mbps with low slices count of 297. Some common applications of high speed design include broadband switches and firewall, whereas the low area design mainly focuses on compact applications like PDAs and cell phone in which area and power constraints are critical. Both the designs are impleme!
nted and tested using a Xilinx Spartan-III (XC3S2000) target device.

Abstract: Control valve stiction is the most commonly found valve problem in the process industry. Quantification of the actual amount of stiction present in a loop is an important step that may help in scheduling the optimum maintenance work for the valves. In this paper, a Neural-network based stiction quantification algorithm is developed. It is shown that the performance of the proposed quantification algorithm is comparable to other method whereby accurate estimation of the stiction amount can be achieved even in the presence of random noise. Its robustness towards external oscillating disturbances is also investigated

In the proposed converter, the power semiconductor device with shorter switching time is employed to implement its high-speed PWM switches. And the soft-switching control is employed for further reducing their switching losses. To achieve this, an auxiliary resonant circuit is added to the PWM switch, and its zero-voltage-transition (ZVT) soft switching is obtained by applying suitable switching signals to the main and auxiliary switches. No extra voltage and/or current sensors are required. Having derived the governing circuit equations, a design procedure is proposed to systematically find the constituted components of the auxiliary branch. As to the low-speed commutation switches, they are realized using the power device having low on-state voltage. Owing to the ability of making PWM switching control, the SRM motor drive with the proposed converter possesses good d!
riving performance. The performance of the designed converter is demonstrated by some simulation and experimental results. An approach for measuring the energy conversion efficiency of a SRM drive is also proposed.
Keywords: Switched reluctance motor, Soft-switching converter, Zero voltage transition, Efficiency measurement, High-efficiency converter.

Abstract: Raman Amplifiers (RAs) are a group of amplifiers which have various applications in optical communications. Data transmission media utilized for RAs are optical fibers operating in nonlinear regime. We present the performances and characteristics of RAs by utilizing a set of coupled differential equations and numerical simulations. Two types of fibers with different gain characteristics, germanium-doped and silica fibers are used in our numerical simulations. So, the optimum initial values of the pump powers for a system with 10 pumps are recalculated and optimized again. We did our simulation to have a flat gain and low noise characteristics. Another aspect of the fiber media is their effective areas and we studied the effects of this parameter on the net gain of the RAs. Finally, the noise figure computations are discussed for our 10 pumps bidirectional amplifier which is optimized.

Abstract: The Ocean is a dynamic and complex environment; it is a very complicated transmission channel that can change rapidly with the environmental conditions. Hence, to avoid failure of underwater monitoring missions, it’s crucial to predict the behavior of underwater acoustic channel. In this paper, several fundamental key aspects of underwater acoustic channel are investigated. A model characterizing the underwater acoustic channel is introduced, and how underwater channel can be simulated is discussed. In addition, this paper describes a methodology for top-down design, modeling, and simulation of underwater channel using hardware description language VHDL-AMS.
Keywords: underwater communication, underwater channel model, behavior modeling, acoustic signal, VHDL-AMS language
