Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGas Turbine Ontology for the Industrial ProcessesF. Z. Laallam, M. SellamiThe activity of supervision and control of the industrial processes is a very complex spot and require a great experiment because of the dynamic characteristics of the process. This experiment was acquired with the passing of years. What makes departure of an expert in retirement a great loss of the know-how. The problem thus consists to capture this know-how and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,298 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractE-Government Readiness Assessment ModelAhmed Al-Omari, Hussein Al-OmariThis study presents a general framework model for E-Government Readiness Assessment. There are six necessary key factors to implement any E-government initiative worldwide. These factors represent the basic components to be assessed before launching the "e-initiative" to guarantee the right implementation in the right direction. The organization building blocks need to be assessed are: Organizational Readiness, Governance and leadership Readiness, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2006 · 8,307 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMobile Agents in Heterogeneous Networks: A Look on PerformanceR. B. Patel, Neeraj GoelMobile agents can be seen as a new paradigm for distributed computing. One characteristic of mobile agents is their autonomy and pro-activity. This article present a framework designed on top of PMADE (Platform for Mobile Agent Distribution and Execution) to support our research in this domain. Our framework consists of three modules. The Map Module collects information on the available … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2006 · 6,490 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCluster Computing: A Mobile Code ApproachR. B. Patel, Manpreet SinghCluster computing harnesses the combined computing power of multiple processors in a parallel configuration. Cluster Computing environments built from commodity hardware have provided a cost-effective solution for many scientific and high-performance applications. In this paper we have presented design and implementation of a cluster based framework using mobile code. The cluster implementation involves the designing of a server named MCLUSTER … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 6,714 accessesView PDFCite
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 abstractMesoscopic Damage Based Model for Plane Concrete under Static and Dynamic LoadingsM. Labibzadeh, S. A. SadrnejadThe constitutive equations for the mechanical behavior of concrete capable of seeing damage effects or crack growth procedure under loading/unloading/reloading was developed upon microplane framework. The proposed damage formulation has been built on the basis of five fundamental types of stress/strain combinations, which essentially may occur on any of microplanes. Model verification under different loading/unloading/reloading stress/strain paths has been examined. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 8,044 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Stability of the Triangular Lagrangian Equilibrium Points in the Relativistic Restricted Three-Body ProblemM. K. Ahmed, F.A. Abd El-Salam, S.E. Abd El-BarThe restricted three body problem is treated in the framework of the post-Newtonian approximation of general relativity. The equations of motion are linear zed around the libration points L4,5. Locations of the equilibrium points L4,5 are obtained. Existence and stability of these points are investigated. The relativistic correction to the classical mass ratio is determined. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,303 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParallelisation of Algorithms of Mathematical MorphologyAbdallah Boukerram, Samira A.K. AzzouThe tools of mathematical morphology developed within the framework of the image processing, require of big capacity of data and the very high costs of execution. So today, the limits of the sequential machines are not to be any more to show, the passage in the new parallel machines of type Simd, Mimd, clusters or grids is imperative.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScenarios Analysis of Tourism DestinationsAnastasios Michailidis, Fotis ChatzitheodoridisThis study describes a multi-criteria decision-making framework employed to evaluate and rank three tourism destinations, located in the northern and central Greece. Additionally, innovatory elements are the incorporation of differing levels of socioeconomic data (destination image and destination personality) within the decision framework and the direct determination of the PROMETHEE II preference thresholds. The developed methodology provides a user-friendly approach, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,490 accessesView PDFCite
