Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Resonance Theory Training Parameters: Pretty Good SetsTaisir Mohammad Eldos, Abdulaziz Suleiman AlmazyadProblem statement: ART1 artificial neural networks offer good tools for test clustering, where no expert is needed if the system is well trained. However, having no output reference for the input patterns makes it hard to judge the quality of the training. Moreover, the performance depends to a great extent on a set of training parameters. Designers follow some recommendations … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 6 Nov 2010 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Both a Probabilistic Evolutionary Graph and the Evidence Theory for Color Scene AnalysisNassim Ammour, Abderrezak Guessoum, Daoud BerkaniIn this research, we introduce a new color images segmentation algorithm. The color scene analytic method is based on the progress of a probabilistic evolutionary graph. The strategy consists in making grow an evolutionary graph, which presents the scene elements in an unsupervised segmented image. The graph evolution development is based on the computation of the belonging probabilities to the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,013 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Survey of Protein Fold Recognition AlgorithmsMohammed Said Abual-Rub, Rosni AbdullahProblem statement: Predicting the tertiary structure of proteins from their linear sequence is really a big challenge in biology. This challenge is related to the fact that the traditional computational methods are not powerful enough to search for the correct structure in the huge conformational space. This inadequate capability of the computational methods, however, is a major obstacle in facing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,877 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Maintenance Scheduler for Near Optimum Utilization of Oil TanksFawaz S. Al-Anzi, Khaled Al-ZamelDue to the entry of Kuwait into WTO and the expected liberalization of petroleum management, the oil market is to become more competitive. However, the space limitation and public increasing awareness of environmental protection issues and stricter regulation passed by Environmental Public Authority (EPA) in Kuwait make the need for full utilization of oil tanks a prime requirement of a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,515 accessesView PDFCite

RamliProblem statement: With the growing popularity of clustering application combined with apparent usability, the single system image is in the limelight and actively studied as an alternative solution for computational intensive applications as well as the platform for next evolutionary grid computing era. Approach: Existing researches in this field concentrated on various features of Single System Images like file system … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,628 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAssisted History Matching for Petroleum Reservoirs in the Social Computing EraMichel Cancelliere, Dario Viberti, Francesca VergaThe exploitation strategy of hydrocarbon reservoirs can be technically and economically optimized only if a reliable numerical model of the reservoir under investigation is available to predict the system response for different production scenarios. A numerical model can be reasonably trustworthy after calibration only, which means the model has at least proved its ability to reproduce the historical behavior of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 24 Jul 2013 · 7,083 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCurve Fitting Using Conic by Evolutionary ComputingZainor Ridzuan Yahya, Abd Rahni Mt Piah, Ahmad Abd MajidProblem statement: A direct method, such as least squares technique is usually used to solve problems involving matching a curve or a surface to a set of data points. The solution obtained by this direct method is precise or very good in approximation, but computationally not very efficient. Thus, in this study, we propose an indirect approach using Particle Swarm … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 7 Feb 2012 · 6,951 accessesView PDFCite
