Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEvaluation of Different Query Expansion Techniques for Arabic Text Retrieval SystemAysh Alhroob, Hayel Khafajeh, Nisreen InnabThe word mismatch problem is fundamental to Information retrieval. Query expansion process helps to overcome this problem. Based on the Arabic corpuses, the comparisons between two query expansion techniques (global and local query) have been conducted to determine the query effectiveness. First one represents the local context analysis which represents a local method, while a global method was the second … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 6,889 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordImpact of Malicious Nodes under Different Route Refresh Intervals in Ad Hoc NetworkP. Suganthi, A. TamilarasiProblem statement: Ad hoc networks are formed dynamically by group of mobile devices co operating with each other. Intermediate nodes between source and destination act as routers so that source node can communicate with the destination node even if it is out radio range and thus eliminating the necessity of infrastructure. Co operation of nodes is a very important feature … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 3 Nov 2011 · 7,305 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEvaluation of Test Case Generation based on a Software Product Line for Model TransformationAlexandre Augusto Giron, Itana Maria de Souza Gimenes, Edson OliveiraJrModel-Driven Engineering (MDE) supports model evolution and refinement by means of model transformations at several abstraction levels. Validating these transformations is essential to ensure the quality and correctness of such models. However, MDE transformations become more complex to validate, for example, when they are implemented in different languages. One particular example is the transformation of the SyMPLES approach. SyMPLES is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2018 · 8,288 accessesView PDFCite
