Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Multicast Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc NetworksZeyad M. Alfawaer, GuiWei Hua, Noraziah AhmedIn mobile ad hoc networks, how to achieve the multicast communication is a challenging task due to the fact that the topology may change frequently and communication links may be broken because of users' mobility. We introduced MANHSI (Multicast for Ad hoe Network with hybrid Swarm Intelligence) protocol, which relies on a swarm intelligence based optimization technique to learn and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 7,297 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards an Effective Personalized Information Filter for P2P Based Focused Web CrawlingFu Xiang-hua, Feng Bo-qinInformation access is one of the hottest topics of information society, which has become even more important since the advent of the Web, but nowadays the general Web search engines still have no ability to find correct and timely information for individuals. In this paper, we propose a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) based decentralized focused Web crawling system called PeerBridge to provide … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,825 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCONGESTION MANAGEMENT BY OPTIMAL ALLOCATION OF FACTS CONTROLLERS USING HYBRID FISH BEE OPTIMIZATIONS. Thangalakshmi, P. ValsalalThe role of Independent System Operator (ISO) in the restructured power industry includes system control, capacity planning, transmission tariff and congestion management; the challenging task being minimizing the congestion. One of the popular techniques used to alleviate congestion is using Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices. The power system generally operates near its rated capacity in deregulated market because of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Apr 2014 · 6,645 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Backward Recovery Mechanism in Preemptive Utility Accrual Real Time Scheduling AlgorithmIdawaty Ahmad, Muhammad Fauzan OthmanProblem statement: This study proposed a robust algorithm named as Backward Recovery Preemptive Utility Accrual Scheduling (BRPUAS) algorithm that implements the Backward Recovery (BR) mechanism as a fault recovery solution under the existing utility accrual scheduling environment. The problem identified in the TUF/UA scheduling domain is that the existing algorithms only considers the Abortion Recovery (AR) as their fault recovery … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 6,827 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Neural Networks in Real-time Face DetectionKevin Curran, Xuelong Li, Neil M. CaughleyAs continual research is being conducted in the area of computer vision, one of the most practical applications under vigorous development is in the construction of a robust real-time face detection system. Successfully constructing a real-time face detection system not only implies a system capable of analyzing video streams, but also naturally leads onto the solution to the problems of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,017 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffects of Competing Lexical Distracters in a Visual Search TaskJeremy W. Grabbe, Tom Cioffi, Luke T. Zauner et al.Studies have shown that distracters that are relevant to a target can negatively affect visual search performance. Recent studies have looked at performance when targets are embedded within a distracter. Various factors have been explored such as automaticity, spatial location and timing. This study asked, "If distracters affected a different dimension would that produce a detriment to visual search performance"? … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 16 Jan 2014 · 7,373 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDoes the Size of Personalized Menus Affect User Performance?Khalid Al-Omar, Dimitrios I. RigasProblem statement: To date, researchers have personalized graphical user interfaces for individual users to reduce visual search time. Little research, however, has been directed at understanding the factors which cause approaches to personalization to have positive effects at one time and negative ones at others. Approach: The study reported here investigated empirically the effects of content size on 5 different … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,596 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPerformance Improvement of SNP Search Using Multithread ProgrammingGeraldo Francisco Donegá Zafalon, Álvaro Magri Nogueira da Cruz, Anderson Rici Amorim et al.Pattern recognition is an important field in Bioinformatics and a well-known task is the search for Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP). It is possible to search for a known SNP position and analyze it using patterns of DNA bases, called masks. Nonetheless, this process becomes computationally expensive as the amount of available genomic data increases. Thus, in this study, we have … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 11 · 7 Nov 2018 · 7,734 accessesView PDFCite
