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 abstractA Multi-Agent Architecture for QoS Support in Grid EnvironmentAli Rezaee, Amir M. Rahmani, Saeed Parsa, Sahar AdabiGrid computing is emerged as a new distributed computing technology that implements flexible and coordinated resource sharing among dynamic, heterogeneous, unpredictable and geographically distributed collections of resources owned by different individuals and organizations. Due to heterogeneous and dynamic nature of the grid, resource management and application scheduling is a complex undertaking. This paper proposed a multi-agent architecture that addressed resource … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,081 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNimble Protein Sequence Alignment in Grid (NPSAG)K. Somasundaram, S. RadhakrishnanIn Bio-Informatics application, the analysis of protein sequence is a kind of computation driven science which has rapidly and quickly growing biological data. Also databases used in these applications are heterogeneous in nature and alignment of protein sequence using physical techniques is expensive, slow and results are not always guaranteed/accurate. So this application requires cross-platform, cost-effective and more computing power … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 6,921 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Biomechanical Composite Model to Determine Effective Elastic Moduli of the CNS Gray MatterMehdi Khoshgoftar, Siamak Najarian, Farhad Farmanzad et al.Brain tissue is a heterogeneous material with complicated microstructural features. Models based on microstructure can lead to more accurate and physically realistic predictions of mechanical characteristics of brain tissue. A two-step Mori-Tanaka/Voigt homogenization procedure is implemented into a 3D microstructurally-based multi-phase composite model, composed of randomly-oriented elastic axons, dendrites and neuronal cell bodies surrounded by an elastic matrix. The effects … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPolicy-Based Security for Wireless Components in High Assurance Computer SystemsLuay A. Wahsheh, Jim Alves-FossTo enable the growth of wireless networks in high assurance computer systems, it is essential to establish a security engineering methodology that provides system security managers with a procedural engineering process to develop computer security policies. Our research demonstrates how wireless communication technology is deployed using the Multiple Independent Levels of Security (MILS) architecture for high assurance computer system design … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,329 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBeta-2-Microglobulin in Autism Spectrum DisordersPaula Goines, Joseph Schauer, Luke Heuer et al.Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are heterogeneous neurodevelopmental diseases of unknown etiology. There are no biological markers for ASD and current diagnosis is based on behavioral criteria. Recent data has shown that MHC I, a compound involved in adaptive immune function, is also involved in neurodevelopment, synaptic plasticity and behavior. It has been suggested that altered MHC I expression could play … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,560 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTask Load Balancing Strategy for Grid ComputingB. Yagoubi, Y. SlimaniWorkload and resource management are two essential functions provided at the service level of the Grid software infrastructure. To improve the global throughput of these environments, effective and efficient load balancing algorithms are fundamentally important. Most strategies were developed in mind, assuming homogeneous set of resources linked with homogeneous and fast networks. However for computational Grids we must address main … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,605 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards an Exclusion Mutual Tolerant Algorithm to FailuresM. Senouci, A. Liazid, D. BenhamamouchThe distributed algorithmic is widely used in various economic and industrial fields as finance, medical, industry, telecommunication. New technologies are increasing rapidly. From now on, applications must associate two conditions: auto-execution on heterogeneous grid computers, on the one hand and on the other hand, satisfaction of the temporal and safety constraints. Hence this paper deals with performing an algorithm based … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 6,726 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeparation of the Control Plane and Forwarding Plane in Next-Generation RoutersRachid N. Takourout, Samuel Pierre, Laurent MarchandEver since the Internet appeared, network elements, such as routers, have been enhanced with much functionality. They tend to increasingly integrate more services, such as support and security mechanisms, which ensure Quality of Service. Similarly, processor performance continues to increase rapidly. Thus, these two types of evolution trigger the concept of separating the Control plane and the Forwarding plane in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2006 · 6,577 accessesView PDFCite
