Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnt Colony Optimization Approaches in Wireless Sensor Network: Performance EvaluationHusna Jamal Abdul Nasir, Ku Ruhana Ku-Mahamud, Eiji KamiokaWireless Sensor Network (WSN) has been widely implemented in large sectors such as military, habitat, business, industrial, health and environment. WSN is part of a distributed system where elements such as routing, load balancing, energy efficiency, node localization, time synchronization, data aggregation and security need to be addressed to improve its efficiency, robustness, extendibility, applicability and reliability. Despite multiple approaches … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 6 · 24 Jun 2017 · 8,540 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Constraint-Handling Technique for Genetic Algorithms using a Violation FactorAdam Chehouri, Rafic Younes, Jean Perron, Adrian IlincaOver the years, several meta-heuristic algorithms were proposed and are now emerging as common methods for constrained optimization problems. Among them, genetic algorithms (GA’s) shine as popular evolutionary algorithms (EA’s) in engineering optimization. Most engineering design problems are difficult to resolve with conventional optimization algorithms because they are highly nonlinear and contain constraints. In order to handle these constraints, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 7 · 31 Aug 2016 · 8,758 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Layout Based Detachment Approach for Extracting Content from WebpagesDeepa Chandran, Anna Saro VijendranEnormous amount of useful information presented in Internet is usually formatted for the web users. But it is a really complex task to extract the relevant data from various web sources. Recently, various approaches for the extraction of data from the webpages were proposed. This study provides a simple but effective approach, named Layout Based Detachment Approach (LBDA). The proposed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 6 · 25 Jul 2015 · 6,351 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOPTIMAL RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR LAYERED VIDEO MULTICASTING IN WIMAXHung-Yi Teng, Chun-Hung Wu, Ren-Hung HwangReal-time video disseminations over wireless links such as video telephony, video conferencing and mobile TV have become fast growing applications. In order to cope with the increasing users' demand, a new scalable and efficient wireless distribution platform is needed. With numerous advantages such as QoS assurance, high data rate and wide coverage, WiMAX has been regarded as an ideal choice … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 24 Dec 2014 · 7,412 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDecision Support System for Open Vehicle Routing With Transhipments and StopoversNaragain Phumchusri, Yanipa ChinsuwanTransshipments and stopovers are considered to be an effective method to reduce traveling distance where a transportation job can be served by two vehicles: One picks up a load and drops it at a transshipment point and then another vehicle carries that load to the final delivery place. The goal of this study is to develop a decision support system … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 22 Sep 2014 · 7,448 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCONGESTION MANAGEMENT BY OPTIMAL ALLOCATION OF FACTS CONTROLLERS USING HYBRID FISH BEE OPTIMIZATIONS. Thangalakshmi, P. ValsalalThe role of Independent System Operator (ISO) in the restructured power industry includes system control, capacity planning, transmission tariff and congestion management; the challenging task being minimizing the congestion. One of the popular techniques used to alleviate congestion is using Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices. The power system generally operates near its rated capacity in deregulated market because of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Apr 2014 · 6,648 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSELECTING PERFECT INTERESTINGNESS MEASURES BY COEFFICIENT OF VARIATION BASED RANKING ALGORITHMK. Selvarangam, K. Ramesh KumarRanking interestingness measure is an active and essential research domain in the process of knowledge discovery from the extracted rules. Since various measures proposed by many researchers in various situations increases the list of measures and these are not able to use as a common measures to evaluate the rules, knowledge finders are not able to identify a perfect measure … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 17 Apr 2014 · 6,409 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSIMULATED ANNEALING APPROACH TO COST-BASED MULTI- QUALITY OF SERVICE JOB SCHEDULING IN CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIROMENTMonir Abdullah, Mohamed OthmanCloud computing environments facilitate applications by providing visualized resources that can be provisioned dynamically. The advent of cloud computing as a new model of service provisioning in distributed systems, encourages researchers to investigate its benefits and drawbacks in executing scientific applications such as workflows. One of the fundamental issues in this environment is related to task scheduling. Cloud task scheduling … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 18 Mar 2014 · 7,657 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssisted History Matching for Petroleum Reservoirs in the Social Computing EraMichel Cancelliere, Dario Viberti, Francesca VergaThe exploitation strategy of hydrocarbon reservoirs can be technically and economically optimized only if a reliable numerical model of the reservoir under investigation is available to predict the system response for different production scenarios. A numerical model can be reasonably trustworthy after calibration only, which means the model has at least proved its ability to reproduce the historical behavior of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 24 Jul 2013 · 7,089 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAN EFFICIENT CELL PLACEMENT USING GRAVITATIONAL SEARCH ALGORITHMSRose Al Qasem, Taisir EldosIn modern chip design, cell placement is a stage in which cells representing well-defined functions are assigned physical locations, in a way that optimizes the total area and routing length. Cell placement is an NP-complete problem and the exact solution is generally far from reach for a practically sized instance. Hence, diversified heuristic algorithms are used to solve this problem. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 25 Jun 2013 · 7,375 accessesView PDFCite
