The harmony search algorithm conceptualized a group of musicians together trying to search for better state of harmony. This algorithm was applied to a test traffic network composed of one bus … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 12,460 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Semantic Cache Management Method in Mobile DatabasesShengfei Shi, Jianzhong Li, Chaokun WangIn mobile database systems, caching is a crucial way to improve the performance because a new query can be partially answered locally when the client is continuously moving around. Semantic caching has been paid much attention in traditional database systems. However, the methods of semantic cache management proposed in those systems are not suitable for mobile computing environment. Moreover, although … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,878 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling Load Balancing in Heterogeneous Unstructured P2P SystemsZhi Jun Li, Ming Hong LiaoLoad balancing is a generally concerned problem in peer-to-peer (P2P) systems. Many researches on load balancing in the structured P2P systems have been launched currently, such as Chord or other DHTs. Although the researches on load balancing in unstructured P2P systems are emerged nowadays, the simple mechanisms achieved can only perform effectively in uniform environment. In this study, the influence … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,783 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEdge Defection Prediction by Using Wavelet CompressionYas A.K. AlsultannyDigital image have been expanding in usage. The importance of image compression algorithms have been increased, to produce smaller file size with a lower computational requirement. The wavelet transform offers a natural decomposition of images at multiple resolutions, since the wavelet transform can decompose images into various multiresolution subbands, where the correlation exists. A novel technique for image compression by … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,287 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRevisiting Overflow in Integer MultiplicationEyas El-Qawasmeh, Ahmed DalalahInteger multiplication is a very common operation that is executed in many applications. However, some of these applications suffer from the overflow problem caused by the multiply operation of two operands. The overflow occurs whenever the multiplication of any two-integer numbers exceeds the maximum limit available for the result. Many programming languages ignored this problem; therefore, the programmer has to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,384 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Advance Approach to Evaluate the Performance of the TCP NetworksIbrahiem M.M. El Emary, Farouq Al TaweelIn this study, we present a new approach for estimating the performance of the TCP network depending on a mathematical formula which converts the conceptual performance parameter to a valuable one. With respect to TCP network performance, we consider the Random Early Detection (RED) and RED-Based algorithms where both RED and RED-Based follow the Active Queue Management (AQM) approach in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,522 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCodesign Methodology of Real-time Embedded Controllers for Electromechanical SystemsSlim Ben Saoud, Andreas Gerstlauer, Daniel D. GajskiUnder increasing time-to-market pressures in the electric drives industries, the development time of new algorithms and new control systems including their debugging time must be minimized. This requirement can be satisfied only by using a well-defined system-level design methodology and by reducing the migration time between the algorithm development language and the hardware specification language. In this study, we propose … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,444 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKey Exchange Protocol in Elliptic Curve Cryptography with No Public PointK. Kaabneh, H. Al-BdourIn recent years some cryptographic algorithms have gained popularity due to properties that make them suitable for use in constrained environment like mobile information appliances, where computing resources and power availability are limited. One of these cryptosystems is Elliptic curve which requires less computational power, memory and communication bandwidth compared to other cryptosystem. This makes the elliptic curve cryptography to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 7,067 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModel for Load Balancing On Processors in Parallel Mining of Frequent ItemsetsRavindra Patel, S. S. Rana, K. R. PardasaniThe existence of many large transactions distributed databases with high data schemas, the centralized approach for mining association rules in such databases will not be feasible. Some distributed algorithms have been developed [FDM, CD], but none of them have considered the problem of data skews in distributed mining of association rules. The skewness of datasets reduces the workload balancing between … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,341 accessesView PDFCite
