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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Integrated Approach to Digital Objects Storage and RetrievalKhalil Shihab, Haider Ramadhan, Nida Al-ChalabiImage retrieval systems are becoming increasingly important in areas of research and commercial use. The storage of digital objects in the traditional databases is considered inadequate because of the extensive precise data required for successful retrieval. In addition, the retrieval process has been implemented using content-based image retrieval (CBIR) that relies on retrieving stored images from a collection by comparing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,491 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Postgenomic Era: Transcriptomic as the New Paradigm of LifeBruno Giardina, Marcella Renis, Vito Latora, Salvatore MusumeciNow that complete genome sequences are available for a variety of organism, the elucidation of single gene function involved in the metabolism, includes necessarily a better understanding of the cellular responses on all levels of gene products, mRNA, proteins and metabolites. Such knowledge’s growth is essential since the observable properties of living organisms, so called phenotypes, are the results of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,822 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Filtering Algorithm for Duplicate Document Based on Concept AnalysisAhmad M. HasnahData bases and web pages contain currently a huge number of duplicate document. It is then fundamental to have a filter which can be embedded, for instance, within an information retrieval system like a search engine in order to prohibit the redundant documents references to appear on the screen as a reply to the user's query. This filter can save … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 6,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFault Detection of 3-Phase VSI using Wavelet-Fuzzy AlgorithmM. Rozailan Mamat, M. Rizon, M. S. KhannicheThe good knowledge and information about the fault mode behaviour of the PWM voltage source inverter is important to improve system design, protection and fault tolerant control. This paper develops a real-time condition-monitoring algorithm for 3-phase Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) inverter in fuzzy speed controlled induction machine. It is designed to detect and identify the transistor open-circuit fault and an … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,956 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 · 6,481 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Feasibility Study of Challenges and Opportunities in Computational Biology: A Malaysian PerspectiveR. J.A. Richard, N. SriraamThe term computational biology refers to the knowledge derived from a computer analysis of biological data that includes identification of genes in DNA sequence of different organisms, prediction of structural and functional mechanism of proteins, feature extraction and classification of genomics and proteomics. Computational biology is a rapidly developing branch of science and is highly interdisciplinary, using techniques and Concepts … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOverweight and School: Are There Any Perceived Achievement Consequences of Overweight Among American Youth?Cody Ding, Jason BornhopIn an effort to address the issue of overweight among youth, there is a growing body of research concerning the procurement food, the consequences of ingesting it and knowledge of the cultural cuisine rules (such as American cuisine may include hot dogs, hamburgers, fries and apple pie). However, there are few studies that examine the relationships between overweight and academic … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,424 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Environmental Decision Support System Based on a Multidimensional PrototypeGeorgakellos Dimitrios, Macris AristomenisThe present study utilizes the principles and data provided by the Environmental Priority Strategies (EPS) methodology in order to create a multidimensional prototype, which intends to assist the damage assessment process in this kind of projects. The EPS system, based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, is developed to help designers and product developers in finding which one of two … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,620 accessesView PDFCite
