Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEOS: Evolutionary Overlay Service in Peer-to-Peer SystemsL. I. Zhijun, Liao MinghongThe peer-to-peer (P2P) systems nowadays can be mainly classified into two categories: structured and structure-less systems based on their overlay organization. The structured systems can achieve determinate efficiency due to their rigorous structure with the cost of losing robustness and vice versa. We provide a semi-structured overlay based on the separation of routing structures and overlay organizations in this paper … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,349 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMusic Information Retrieval Schemes in Peer-to-Peer EnvironmentsChaokun Wang, Jianzhong Li, Shengfei ShiPeer-to-peer systems are useful tools for music applications. Existing peer-to-peer systems support the storing and sharing of music data, however they cannot effectively and efficiently support the content-based information retrieval and the cooperation of musicians. This study focuses on the methods of content-based music information retrieval in peer-to-peer environments. Four music information retrieval schemes are evaluated in detail on communication … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,553 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards a Scalable File System on Computer Clusters Using DeclusteringVu Anh Nguyen, Samuel Pierre, Dougoukolo KonaréThis study addresses the scalability issues involving file systems as critical components of computer clusters, especially for commercial applications. Given that wide striping is an effective means of achieving scalability as it warrants good load balancing and allows node cooperation, we choose to implement a new data distribution scheme in order to achieve the scalability of computer clusters. We suggest … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,523 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFLANN Detector Based Filtering of Images Corrupted by Impulse NoiseBanshidhar Majhi, Mowafak FathiWe present a novel non-linear scheme for image restoration based on neuro-detector using Functional Link Artificial Neural Network (FLANN) followed by an improved spatial filter. The method is applied to images corrupted by impulse noise with varying strengths and different noise probability. The neural detector is based on the concept of training or learning by examples. When trained properly, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Text Mining Approach for Finding Protein-to-Disease AssociationsHisham Al-Mubaid, Rajit K. SinghDiscovering significant relationships between biological entities from text documents is an important task for biologists in order to develop biological models for research and discovery, especially with the existing gigantic amounts of biomedical documents and the rate at which they are increasing everyday. We propose a new text mining method to extract associations between biological entities from text documents; and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,015 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKey Exchange Protocol in Elliptic Curve Cryptography with No Public PointK. Kaabneh, H. Al-BdourIn recent years some cryptographic algorithms have gained popularity due to properties that make them suitable for use in constrained environment like mobile information appliances, where computing resources and power availability are limited. One of these cryptosystems is Elliptic curve which requires less computational power, memory and communication bandwidth compared to other cryptosystem. This makes the elliptic curve cryptography to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 7,069 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Adaptive Routing Algorithm for Ad hoc Mobile NetworksHamed S. Al-BdourThis research has examined the issues of routing in multi-hop wireless networks of mobile nodes without the need for any existing network infrastructure or administration. This is called ad hoc. The key point of this research article are selecting routing protocols which adapts quickly to routing changes when host movement is frequent, yet requires little or no overhead during periods … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,698 accessesView PDFCite
