Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA HYBRID INTELLIGENT MODEL FOR SOFTWARE COST ESTIMATIONWei Lin Du, Luiz Fernando Capretz, Ali Bou Nassif, Danny HoAccurate software development effort estimation is critical to the success of software projects. Although many techniques and algorithmic models have been developed and implemented by practitioners, accurate software development effort prediction is still a challenging endeavor in the field of software engineering, especially in handling uncertain and imprecise inputs and collinear characteristics. In this study, a hybrid intelligent model combining … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 28 Sep 2013 · 7,745 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMACHINE LEARNING APPROACHES IN IMPROVING SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT-BASED ADMISSION CONTROL FOR A SOFTWARE-AS-A-SERVICE PROVIDER IN CLOUDR. S. Mohana, P. ThangarajSoftware as a Service (SaaS) offers reliable access to software applications to the end users over the Internet without direct investment in infrastructure and software. SaaS providers utilize resources of internal data centres or rent resources from a public Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider in order to serve their customers. Internal hosting can ample cost of administration and maintenance … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 5 Sep 2013 · 6,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStochastic Prognostic Paradigm for Petrochemical Pipelines Subject to FatigueAbdo Abou Jaoude, Khaled El-TawilThe most important aim for industrialists is the prevention and the evaluation of their products state since non-predicted failure is very expensive in some cases. This can be done mainly by the evaluation of the &#34Remaining Useful Lifetime&#34 (RUL) by the means of prognostic approaches compensating the inconveniences of classical maintenance strategies. A proposed analytic prognostic methodology based on damage … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 15 Apr 2013 · 7,557 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGreenhouse Gas Mitigation Strategies for Container Shipping IndustryLin Shimin, Wong Yiik DiewWith the onset of the first ever Greenhouse Gas (GHG) regulation for ships by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) in 2011, the container shipping industry requires the combined use of technical and operational emissions reduction measures to improve the environmental performance of its vessels. Studies show that most existing measures are cost effective with a range of emissions reduction potential. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 14 Feb 2013 · 8,000 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractField Scale Modeling to Estimate Phosphorus and Sediment Load Reductions Using a Newly Developed Graphical User Interface for Soil and Water Assessment ToolAaron R. Mittelstet, Erin R. Daly, Daniel E. Storm et al.Streams throughout the North Canadian River watershed in northwest Oklahoma, USA have elevated levels of nutrients and sediment. Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to identify areas that likely contributed disproportionate amounts of Phosphorus (P) and sediment to Lake Overholser, the receiving reservoir at the watershed outlet. These sites were then targeted by the Oklahoma Conservation Commission (OCC) … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 28 Dec 2012 · 6,470 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Rigorous Mathematical Approach for Petrophysical Properties EstimationDario VibertiProblem statement: Over the last few decades, the oil industry has shown a growing interest in the new risk analysis methodologies aimed at the evaluation of the uncertainties associated with reservoir exploitation. In particular, the effort is made to take all possible sources of uncertainties into account so that not only the strengths but also the potential weaknesses of each … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2010 · 7,976 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEconomic Efficiency Analysis for Information Technology in Developing CountriesGhassan F. Issa, Shakir M. Hussain, Hussein Al-BahadiliProblem statement: The introduction of Information Technology (IT) to government institutions in developing countries bears a great deal of risk of failure. The lack of qualified personnel, lack of financial support and the lack of planning and proper justification are just few of the causes of projects failure. Study presented in this study focused on the justification issue of IT … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 30 Oct 2009 · 6,901 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign, Validation, Simulation and Parametric Evaluation of a Novel Protocol for Locating Mobile Agents in Multiregion EnvironmentRama Sushil, Kumkum Garg, Rama BhargavaMobile agents are processes that can be dispatched from source computer and be transported to remote servers for execution, have been widely argued to be an important enabling technology for future systems. Location management is a necessity for locating mobile agents in a network of mobile agent hosts for controlling, monitoring and communication during processing and it still represents an … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,936 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Canadian Regulations and Remediation Methods for Diesel Oil Contaminated SoilsD. G. Rushton, A E. Ghaly, K. MartinellDiesel fuel released into the environment can contaminate ground water, degrade potable water supplies and cause the collapse of fisheries. They are toxic to both animals and humans and can affect the liver, lungs, kidneys, and nervous system leading to cancer as well as immunological and reproductive effects. The objectives of this study were to review current Canadian regulations pertaining … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 8,758 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Subsurface Appraisal: A Key Link to the Success of Development Projects-Few ExamplesVirendra Singh, Ivan Yemez, Elena Izaguirre, Alvaro RaceroDuring exploration and production phases, the life of a hydrocarbon field can be distinguished by five main stages: Exploration, appraisal, development, production and abandonment. Of particular interest is the appraisal stage, where billions of dollars are spent across the oil and gas industry on data gathering activities with a view to reducing subsurface uncertainties towards optimizing reservoir development and management. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 13 Jan 2017 · 8,516 accessesView PDFCite
