Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMemory Storage Issues of Temporal Database Applications on Relational Database Management SystemsSami M. Halawani, Nashwan A. Al-RomemaProblem statement: Many existing database applications manage time-varying data. These database applications are referred to as temporal databases or time-oriented database applications that are considered as repositories of time-dependent data. Many proposals have been introduced for developing time-oriented database applications, some of which suggest building support for Temporal Database Management Systems (TDBMS) on top of existing non-temporal DBMSs, while others … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,731 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAspirin in Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Events: Does Market Failure Matter?Roger Lee MendozaProblem statement: Against the backdrop of the 2009 scientific studies qualifying the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular benefits of aspirin, two interrelated questions are raised for investigation in this study. First, why may the government intervene in an otherwise private transaction between physician and patient and between drug manufacturer and buyer, when it involves contentious pharmacological information? Second, does government intervention make … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,430 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProgressive Content-Sensitive Data Retrieval in Sensor NetworksBo Yang, Manohar MareboyanaProblem statement: For a sensor network comprising autonomous and self-organizing data sources, efficient similarity-based search for semantic-rich resources (such as video data) has been considered as a challenging task due to the lack of infrastructures and the multiple limitations (such as band-width, storage and energy). While the past research discussed much on routing protocols for sensor networks, few works have … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 6,845 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Flexible and Reliable Architecture for Mobile Agent SecurityGhossoon M.W. Al-SaadoonProblem statement: Wireless application protocol is a protocol that makes it possible to surf the Internet from a cellular phone or other handheld wireless. Many of us that surf the Internet from home with a 56 kbps modem think that it is slow and a cell phone only uses 9.6 kbps so WAP has to take the lesser bandwidth into … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,324 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Processing for Binary Submatrix MatchingAzzam Sleit, Wesam AlMobaideen, Mohammad Qatawneh, Heba SaadehThe heavy demand for large volumes of digital data has increased the interest in matrix-like representation. Matrices are well organized data structures which are suitable to store uniform data in order to simplify data access and manipulation. For several applications, the need is critical to efficiently search for a specific pattern in matrix structures. A pattern can be represented as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,616 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGraph Based Segmentation in Content Based Image RetrievalP. S. Suhasini, K. S.R. Krishna, I. V.M. KrishnaProblem statement: Traditional image retrieval systems are content based image retrieval systems which rely on low-level features for indexing and retrieval of images. CBIR systems fail to meet user expectations because of the gap between the low level features used by such systems and the high level perception of images by humans. To meet the requirement as a preprocessing step … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,581 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFramework of Regression-Based Graph Matrix Analysis Approach in Multi-Relational Social Network ProblemFord Lumban Gaol, Belawati WidjajaCommunity mining is one of the major directions in social network analysis. Social network analysis has attracted much attention in recent years. Most of the existing methods on community mining assume that there is only one kind of relation in the network and moreover, the mining results are independent of the users’ needs or preferences. However, in reality, there exist … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,922 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnt Colony Based Node Disjoint Hybrid Multi-path Routing for Mobile Ad Hoc NetworkB. Kalaavathi, K. DuraiswamyMobile Ad hoc Networks are characterized by multi-hop wireless links, without any infrastructure and frequent node mobility. A class of ant colony based routing protocols has recently gained attention because of their adaptability to the network changes. AntHocNet is ant colony based hybrid algorithm, which combines reactive path setup with proactive path probing, maintenance and improvement. Multi-path routing represents a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,043 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancement of Search Results Using Dynamic Document Seed Reranking AlgorithmAngelina Geetha, A. KannanWe proposed an algorithm to improve the precision of top retrieved documents by re-ordering the retrieved documents in the initial retrieval. To re-order the documents, we first automatically extract key terms and key phrases from top N retrieved documents and generate a document index for each document. Using the standard similarity metrics, a document similarity matrix is generated for these … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,745 accessesView PDFCite
