Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Analysis of the Entropy and Transition Point Approach in Representing Index Terms of Literary TextHayati Abd Rahman, Shahrul Azman NoahProblem statement: Concept hierarchy is a hierarchically organized collection of domain concepts. It is particularly useful in many applications such as information retrieval, document browsing and document classification. Approach: One of the important tasks in construction of concept hierarchy is identification of suitable terms with appropriate size of domain vocabulary. Results: One way of achieving such a size is by … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 30 Jun 2011 · 6,678 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign Dynamic Coupling Measurement of Distributed Object Oriented Software Using Trace EventsS. Babu, R. M.S. ParvathiProblem statement: A common way to define and measure coupling is through structural properties and static code analysis. However, because of polymorphism, dynamic binding and the common presence of unused code in commercial software, the resulting coupling measures are imprecise as they do not perfectly reflect the actual coupling taking place among classes at run-time. For example, when using static … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 6,940 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwo Reformulations for the Dynamic Quadratic Assignment ProblemSirirat Muenvanichakul, Peerayuth CharnsethikulProblem statement: The Dynamic Quadratic Assignment Problem (DQAP), an NP-hard problem, is outlined and reformulated in two alternative models: Linearized model and logic-based model. Approach: The solution methods for both models based on combinatorial methods (Benders’ Decomposition and Approximate Dynamic Programming) and constraint logic programming, respectively, are proposed. Results: Proofs of model equivalence and solution methodology are presented. Conclusion: Both … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,951 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Block-Based Multi-Scale Background Extraction AlgorithmSeyed Hashem Davarpanah, Fatimah Khalid, Maryam GolchinProblem statement: To extract the moving objects, vision-based surveillance systems subtract the current image from a predefined background image. The efficiency of these systems mainly depends on accuracy of the extracted background image. It should be able to adapt to the changes continuously. In addition, especially in real-time applications the time complexity of this adaptation is a critical matter. Approach: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 6 Nov 2010 · 7,219 accessesView PDFCite
