Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn ADD-Oriented Software Architecture for Structuring Information to Open Government DataAndreiwid Sheffer Correa, P. L.P. Correa, F. S.C. Silva, T. CarvalhoThe huge number of heterogeneous and not standardized websites where public records are disclosed is an evidence of how unprepa¬red governments are about Open Government Data movement. This scenario is seen all over the world, especially in organizations which open data prin¬ciples are new e.g. local governments. Thus, not effective law enforcement and the lack of openness result in a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 5 · 10 Mar 2018 · 7,638 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStock Trading Using PE Ratio Based on Bayesian InferenceHaizhen Wang, Ratthachat Chatpatanasiri, Pairote SattayathamThe Price Earnings (PE) ratio is one of the most widely applied tool for the firm valuation in a security market. Unfortunately, recent academic developments in financial econometrics and machine learning have rarely looked at this tool. In the paper, we propose to formalize a process of fundamental PE ratio estimation by employing Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) methodology. Forward-backward inference … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 29 Sep 2017 · 7,429 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiagnosis of Pain in Small Companion AnimalsGiorgia della Rocca, Alice Catanzaro, Alessandra Di Salvo, Mary Ellen GoldbergIt is now widely accepted that animals are able to experience pain in a similar way to humans. Acute and/or chronic pain is associated not only with many surgical procedures, but also with various medical diseases, where pain may increase morbidity and mortality. Moreover, some types of pain (e.g., neuropathic pain) can be considered as an illness in themselves.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytic and Nonlinear Prognostic for Vehicle Suspension SystemsAbdo Abou Jaoude, Khaled El-TawilPredicting Remaining Useful Lifetime (RUL) of industrial systems becomes currently an important aim for industrialists knowing that the expensive failure can occur suddenly. As the classical strategies of maintenance are not efficient and practical because they neglect the evolving product state and environment, the recent prognostic approaches try to fill this gap. This approach shows to be important in ensuring … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2013 · 7,526 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Petri Net Based Agent Behavioral TestingZina Houhamdi, Belkacem AthamenaIn Multi-Agent System (MAS), developers concentrate on creating design models and evolving them, from higher level models to lower level models, in several steps. Considerable part of MAS implementations is automatically produced from the design models. If a design model contains faults, they are passed to the generated implementations. Practical model validation techniques are required to discover and delete faults … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 10 Sep 2012 · 6,687 accessesView PDFCite
