Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTaxonomically Clustering Organisms Based on the Profiles of Gene Sequences Using PCAE. Ramaraj, M. PunithavalliThe biological implications of bioinformatics can already be seen in various implementations. Biological taxonomy may seem like a simple science in which the biologists merely observe similarities among organisms and construct classifications according to those similarities[1], but it is not so simple. By applying data mining techniques on gene sequence database we can cluster the data to find interesting similarities … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,753 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Recipe Based Service Composition in Ubiquitous Smart SpacesJunaid A. Chowdary, Seung-Kyu Park, Suk-Kyo HongWe present a recipe based service composition scheme in smart spaces. We discuss real time problems of highly synchronized and user customizable processes with the help of an example. On-the-fly Quality of Service (QoS) shows up as a major issue in such environment. Furthermore the QoS of a dynamically composed service depends upon the aggregate QoS of its developing components. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,766 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLocation Based Throughput Maximization Routing in Energy Constrained Mobile Ad-hoc NetworkV. Sumathy, P. Narayanasamy, R. PrabhuIn wireless Ad-hoc network, power consumption becomes an important issue due to limited battery power. One of the reasons for energy expenditure in this network is irregularly distributed node pattern, which impose large interference range in certain area. To maximize the lifetime of ad-hoc mobile network, the power consumption rate of each node must be evenly distributed and the over … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,827 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractE-Learning under WebCTZ. A. Al-Khanjari, N. S. Kutti, H. A. RamadhanWith the introduction of Web-Based Instruction (WBI) the traditional classroom-based higher education could be made more effective form of instruction. But the studies have shown the negative results[1]. On the other hand the distance education has derived the direct benefit of WBI through extending classroom instruction in online to reach every remote student. However researchers have identified reasons for the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,322 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReal-time Optimistic Concurrency Control based on Transaction Finish DegreeHan Qilong, Hao ZhongxiaoConcurrency control is one of the main issues in the studies of real-time database systems. Optimistic concurrency control algorithms have the attractive properties of being non-blocking and deadlock-free. However, they have the problems of late conflict detection and transaction restarts. Although the number of transaction restarts is reduced by dynamic adjustment of serialization order in real-time database systems, they are … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,689 accessesView PDFCite
