Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAgent-Based Design for E-learning EnvironmentKhadidja Harbouche, Mahieddine DjoudiWe presented an agent-based e-learning environment. Our aim was to allow many users to interact collectively and intelligently with the environment. In this cooperation model, human users and artificial agents carry out tasks in the learners’ service. We define the internal structure of our kernel supposed to work within Internet/Intranet settings. Design was structured in three parts: individual learning space, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,951 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Scheduling Algorithm Based on Petri Nets and Simulated AnnealingRachida Hadiby Ghoul, Abdelhamid Benjelloul, Sihem Kechida, Hicham TebbikhThis study aims at presenting a hybrid Flexible Manufacturing System "HFMS" short-term scheduling problem. Based on the art state of general scheduling algorithms, we present the meta-heuristic, we have decided to apply for a given example of HFMS. That was the study of Simulated Annealing Algorithm SA. The HFMS model based on hierarchical Petri nets, was used to represent static … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 7,164 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMAEST :Multi-Agent Environment for Software TestingRamdane Maamri, Zaidi SahnounThe test is a significant aspect of software development and plays a considerable role in detecting errors in the implementation phase. As the software becomes more pervasive and more often employed to achieve critical tasks, it will be increasingly required to be of high quality. Significant reductions in the cost of software development and software maintenance could be achieved if … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,180 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSegmentation and Recognition of Handwritten Numeric ChainsSalim Ouchtati, Mouldi Bedda, Abderrazak LachouriAutomatic reading of numeric chains has been attempted in several application areas such as bank cheque processing, postal code recognition and form processing. Such applications have been very popular in handwriting recognition research, due to the possibility to reduce considerably the manual effort involved in these tasks. In this study we propose an off line system for the recognition of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,636 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 abstractLow Complexity Performance Effective Task Scheduling Algorithm for Heterogeneous Computing EnvironmentsE. Ilavarasan, P. ThambiduraiA heterogeneous computing environment is a suite of heterogeneous processors interconnected by high-speed networks, thereby promising high speed processing of computationally intensive applications with diverse computing needs. Scheduling of an application modeled by Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) is a key issue when aiming at high performance in this kind of environment. The problem is generally addressed in terms of task … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 9,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomated Camera Monitoring System for Selective Areas of InterestNael HirzallahMonitoring a number of security cameras by security guards suffers from a number of difficulties especially when the events to be watched for may take months to occur or a large number of cameras exist. Furthermore, finding and hiring people for such tasks is usually expensive. Therefore, there are immediate needs for automated surveillance systems that save money, work in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,205 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeedup of Particle Transport Problems with a Beowulf ClusterZhongxiang Zhao, G. Ivan MaldonadoThe MCNP code is a general Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport program that is widely used in health physics, medical physics and nuclear engineering for problems involving neutron, photon and electron transport[1]. However, due to the stochastic nature of the algorithms employed to solve the Boltzmann transport equation, MCNP generally exhibits a slow rate of convergence. In fact, engineers and scientists … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,918 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForecasting River Flow in the USA: A Comparison between Auto-Regression and Neural Network Non-Parametric ModelsAbdel K.M. Baareh, Alaa F. Sheta, Khaled A. KhnaifesForecasting a time series became one of the most challenging tasks to variety of data sets. The existence of large number of parameters to be estimated and the effect of uncertainty and outliers in the measurements makes the time series modeling too complicated. Recently, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) became quite successful tool to handle time series modeling problem. This paper … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 6,962 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Cooperative Intelligent Decision Support System for Contingency ManagementAbdelkader ADLATraditional Decision Support Systems (DSS) give not enough possibilities of intervention to the user. These systems are reduced to an insular and very technical state in which the objective is not support decision but to dump data on the screen in the hope that the user will know what to do with. In complex situations, decision is not structured and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 6,692 accessesView PDFCite
