Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Overview on the use of Ontologies in Software EngineeringDaniel Strmečki, Ivan Magdalenić, Dragutin KermekOne of the main goals of the Software Engineering (SE) discipline is to find higher abstraction levels and ways to reuse software in order to increase its productivity and quality. Ontologies, which are typically considered as a technique or an artifact used in one or more software lifecycle phases, may be used to help achieve that goal. This paper provides … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 12 · 9 Feb 2017 · 7,353 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFractional Lion Algorithm-An Optimization Algorithm for Data ClusteringSatish Chander, P. Vijaya, Praveen DhyaniClustering divides the data available as bulk into meaningful, useful groups (Clusters) without any prior knowledge about the data. Cluster analysis provides an abstraction from individual data objects to the clusters in which those objects reside. It is a key technique in the data mining and has become an important issue in many fields. This paper presents a novel Fractional … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 7 · 12 Aug 2016 · 7,673 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSequential Patterns: A new Corpus-Based Method to Inform the Teaching of Language for Specific PurposesDominique Legallois, Anne PrunetIn this study, we present an original study that aims to show how pedagogically important lexico-grammatical patterns, which are typical of certain genres, can be identified and taught at every educational level, in particular for learners of French for Specific Purposes. These patterns, called Sequential Patterns, constitute a more powerful paradigm than lexical bundles or “P-frames” because they combine different … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 13 Aug 2015 · 8,174 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractENHANCING THE PERFORMANCE OF ADVANCED FINE-GRAINED GRID AUTHORIZATION SYSTEMMaizura Ibrahim, Hamidah Ibrahim, Azizol Abdullah, Rohaya LatipGrid computing is a system that coordinates distributed resources using standards, open, general purpose protocols and interfaces to provide nontrivial quality of services. Usage Control model (UCON) is a new emerging authorization framework that combined features of traditional access control, trust management and digital right management in one abstraction. Adoption of UCON improved the fine-grain of grid authorization policy. The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 29 Dec 2014 · 8,672 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAPPLYING BLACK-BOX TESTING TO MODEL TRANSFORMATIONS IN THE MODEL DRIVEN ARCHITECTURE CONTEXTLuciane Telinski Wiedermann Agner, Inali Wisniewski Soares, Jean Marcelo Simao, Paulo Cézar StadziszTesting model transformations has played a leading role with the dissemination of MDA in software development processes. Software testing based on black-box testing, together with the &#34category partitioning&#34 method, can be efficiently used in order to conduct the verification of model transformations. This study employs software testing techniques to an ATL model transformation in the MDA context and points out … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 20 Mar 2014 · 7,354 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDoes Over or Under Dispersion in Inverse Binomial Data Suggest Anything? A Case in Point is the Waiting Time for Both Heart-Lung TransplantsRamalingam ShanmugamThe model is an abstraction of the reality. The selection of the usual inverse binomial as an underlying model for the number of patients waiting in months for heart and lung transplant is questionable because the data exhibit not the required balance between the dispersion and its functional equivalent in terms of the mean but rather an over or under … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 29 Jan 2014 · 6,888 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractShortage Level of Matching Kidney and Pancreas Organs for Implant is EstimatedRamalingam ShanmugamOrgan transplants are increasingly done worldwide. The organ donors might be dead or alive. There are legal, ethical, medical and administrative issues to procure organs and to transplant them. However, the donor’s organs must fully match the recipient’s requirement before they are quickly transported as the time is the essence. The kidney or pancreas organs are more in demand. When … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 1 Nov 2013 · 6,516 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntervened 2-Tier Poisson Distribution for Understanding Hospital Site InfectivityR. ShanmugamProblem statement: Whether it is a surgical site or medical treatment at a hospital site, the nurses in particular and the entire medical team including surgeons/physicians in general undergo a risk of being infected ironically by the patients whom they intend to disinfect. There are 2-tiers of patients at the site. One type consists of patients who are internally and … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2012 · 6,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFPGA-Based Architecture for a Generalized Parallel 2-D MRI Filtering AlgorithmSami Hasan, Said Boussakta, Alex YakovlevProblem statement: Current Neuroimaging developments, in biological research and diagnostics, demand an edge-defined and noise-free MRI scans. Thus, this study presents a generalized parallel 2-D MRI filtering algorithm with their FPGA-based implementation in a single unified architecture. The parallel 2-D MRI filtering algorithms are Edge, Sobel X, Sobel Y, Sobel X-Y, Blur, Smooth, Sharpen, Gaussian and Beta (HYB). Then, the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 20 Feb 2012 · 8,021 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVedas and the Development of Arithmetic and AlgebraGurudeo Anand TularamProblem statement: Algebra developed in three stages: rhetorical or prose algebra, syncopated or abbreviated algebra and symbolic algebra-known as “school algebra”. School algebra developed rather early in India and the literature now suggests that the first civilization to develop symbolic algebra was the Vedic Indians. Approach: Philosophical ideas of the time influenced the development of the decimal system and arithmetic … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,263 accessesView PDFCite
