Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Production Planning of Electricity from Coal-Fired Power Plant Networks under Environmental ConsiderationsHabib H. Al-Ali, Yousef Saif, Ali Elkamel, Ali LohiIn this study, electricity production from a network of coal power plants and under environmental constraints is considered. Several pollutants are incorporated into the decision planning process including nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx) and mercury (Hg). A Nonconvex Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) model was first developed to assist in the evaluation process. An exact linearization of the nonconvex … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,074 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving the Quality of Service Guarantee in an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) NetworkFrancis Joseph Ogwu, Mohammad Talib, Ganiyu Adesola AderounmuThis study presents a technique for improving the quality of service (QoS ) guarantee in an ATM network. In the proposed model, it was assumed that high priority traffic have been allocated a switch resource to guarantee a given QoS and low priority cells are allowed to enter the buffer, to improve the exploitation of reserved resources. The proposed technique … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 6,408 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Student-Centered Learning ModelMihyar Hesson, Kaneez Fatima ShadBased on the authors experience in applying different approaches of active learning and student-centered teaching, the main problem that prevented the achievement of the full advantages of these approaches is the lack of motivation of students for self-centered learning. A new model for a student-centered learning is presented in this work. This model is of teaching integrative thinking, based on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 9,424 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTeaching Computer Organization and Architecture Using Simulation and FPGA ApplicationsKasim M. Al-AubidyThis paper presents the design concepts and realization of incorporating micro-operation simulation and FPGA implementation into a teaching tool for computer organization and architecture. This teaching tool helps computer engineering and computer science students to be familiarized practically with computer organization and architecture through the development of their own instruction set, computer programming and interfacing experiments. A two-pass assembler has … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 7,104 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFPGA Based SPWM Bridge InverterM. N. Md Isa, M.I. Ahmad, Sohiful A.Z. Murad, M.K. Md ArshadThis study presents methodology to generate sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) signal using Field Programmable Gate Array, FPGA technology. We discussed the unipolar switching scheme and the methodology to generate the signal with the predetermined switching frequencies. Simulation on the designed pulses was conducted using Altera Max Plus II simulation tools. This simulation method was used to get the desired … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 7,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSystem Interoperability Study for Healthcare Information System with Web ServicesJ. K. Zhang, W. Xu, D. EwinsThis paper describes the use of a new distributed middleware technology ‘Web Services’ in the proposed Healthcare Information System (HIS) to address the issue of system interoperability raised from existing Healthcare Information systems. With the development of HISs, hospitals and healthcare institutes have been building their own HISs for processing massive healthcare data, such as, systems built up for hospitals … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,702 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntelligence System for Software Maintenance Severity PredictionParvinder Singh Sandhu, Sunil Kumar, Hardeep SinghThe software industry has been experiencing a software crisis, a difficulty of delivering software within budget, on time, and of good quality. This may happen due to number of defects present in the different modules of the project that may require maintenance. This necessitates the need of predicting maintenance urgency of the particular module in the software. In this paper, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 6,947 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParallel Approaches for Intervals Analysis of Variable Statistics in Large and Sparse Linear Equations with RHS RangesPeerayuth CharnsethikulThis study proposes an algorithm capable of working in parallel for solving large and sparse linear equations under given right hand side (RHS) ranges. A comparative study to the direct linear programming method is reported theoretically, computationally and discussed. Moreover, the approach can be adapted for the system under domain decompositions structure leading to a better efficiency experimentally. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 6,826 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining the Optimal Software Rejuvenation Schedule via Semi-Markov Decision ProcessHiroyuki Eto, Tadashi DohiSoftware rejuvenation is a preventive and proactive maintenance policy that is particularly useful for counteracting the phenomenon of software aging. In this study we consider an operational software system with multiple degradations and derive the optimal software rejuvenation policy minimizing the expected operation cost per unit time in the steady state, via the dynamic programming approach. Especially, we show analytically … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,979 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeta Architecting: Towered a New Generation of Architecture Description LanguagesAdel Smeda, Tahar Khammaci, Mourad OussalahThe techniques of meta-modeling and meta-levels have become a mature concept and have been largely used to solve real problems in programming languages, distributed environments, knowledge representation, or data bases. In this article it is shown how the same techniques can be applied in component-based software architecture. It also shown the need to propose mechanisms of reflexivity within the domain … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,483 accessesView PDFCite
