Nowadays amount of information on Internet is dramatically increasing. The ability of facilitating users to achieve useful information is more and more important for search field. CDSE, a model for the domain-based intelligent search engine is proposed in this paper. The model can help users to retrieve what they need by combining text classification with keywords extraction. Several algorithms that use key technologies are proposed, such as statistics, data mining and agents. Then a new criterion named ranking error is contributed to solve the problem of evaluation ranking inefficiency in traditional performance evaluation methodologies. The experimental results indicate that the proposed model can effectively improve retrieval precision and solve the problem of relevant document ranking behind in current search engine.

The use of an ontology in order to provide a mechanism to enable machine reasoning has continuously increased during the last few years. This paper proposed an automated method for document classification using an ontology, which expresses terminology information and vocabulary contained in Web documents by way of a hierarchical structure. Ontology-based document classification involves determining document features that represent the Web documents most accurately, and classifying them into the most appropriate categories after analyzing their contents by using at least two pre-defined categories per given document features. In this paper, Web documents are classified in real time not with experimental data or a learning process, but by similarity calculations between the terminology information extracted from Web documents and ontology categories. This results in a more accurate document classification since the meanings and relationships unique to each document are determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a system based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for classifying automobile parts with different shapes is presented. The system gets the original information from an image sensor, classifies two sorts of automobile parts with different shapes after processing these images. The classifier designed in this paper adopts the ANN with an improved BP algorithm. The perimeter, acreage and the degree of the decentralization of the automobile parts in the intensity image are taken as the input feature vectors. For the No.1 part and No.2 part, the experimental result indicates that the recognition accuracy rate can reach up to 99% in this system and the productivity will be improved obviously comparing with the checking result in the off-line system manually.

The speed and convenience of the Internet facilitated the development of electronic commerce (e-commerce). E-commerce research and technologies have always drawn the attention of researchers. Among them, the application of mobile agent on e-commerce has drawn much attention in recent years. Mobile agents can roam freely over different execution environments to execute tasks assigned to them. However, a mobile agent may be attacked when it requests services from other servers or when comes in contact with and exchange information with another agents while roaming on the internet. Hence, a mobile agent user may be concerned that his mobile agent could be corrupted or private information tapped and pirated by other agents. To ensure the security of mobile agents in public network environment, this paper proposes a security scheme that is suitable for mobile agents. The scheme includes access control and key management; it is also an improvement on the key management and access control for mobile agent scheme of Volker and Mehrdad. The proposed scheme corrects the drawback in Volker and Mehrdad's scheme which is the need of a large amount of storage for storing the secret keys. Security and performance analysis of our scheme proves the proposed scheme to be more efficient and secure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a method of controlling packet transmission rate between nodes on an Ad-hoc network is proposed considering the characteristics of IEEE 802.11 possessing different transmission efficiencies by different transmission distances. There have been a lot of researches about algorithms for efficient routing and power saving using static power sources in the field of mobile Ad-hoc networks up until now. However, those researches have been conducted only on the assumption of ideal experimental cases. This paper considers the way of finding adequate transmission rate for the transmission distances between nodes on a mobile Ad-hoc networks so that a more realizable method is presented. In this research, a controlling algorithm for transmission data rates by the distances between mobile nodes is realized using Fuzzy logic, possibly available to be applied to Ad-hoc network routing.

Wireless Sensor Network is an advanced technology that has a variety of applications such as environmental monitoring, battlefield, medical system, and crop precision. Minimizing power consumption of node is important in these networks. Transmit power control and clustering can reduce the energy consumption efficiently when nodes are non-homogeneously dispersed in space. This paper presents the clustering algorithm in wireless sensor networks. The clustering algorithm is based on the optimization of transmit power level by using the soft computing approaches. This solution determines the node transmit power level statistically and achieves energy savings efficiently. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the statistical model of communication network delay based on the data measured from a network in operation is studied. In our study, it is found that modeling the round trip time (RTT) in our network by a single statistical model is not adequate. Therefore two combined statistical distributions, Pareto distribution and generalized exponential distribution, are used to develop our model. This approach is verified by the standard Chi-square test widely used by statisticians. Based on the model developed, a gain-scheduling algorithm to adjust controller gain to compensate time delay in a networked control system (NCS) is developed. This paper presents the results of our initial study. In addition, further research based on the design methodology pioneered in this paper is also proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Numerical examples and some simple systems, for instance an inverted pendulum on a cart, are often used in the analytical and simulation study of Networked Control Systems (NCSs). In this paper, we propose to use a system of "Two inverted pendulums Coupled by a Spring" to extend the existing study to investigate: (1) asynchronised multi-rate sampling in a NCS, (2) random, distributed and discrete time delay in networked signal-transfer with possible loss of signals, (3) NCS for nonlinear systems, (4) Robust control of NCS with plant uncertainties and external disturbances, and (5) using NCS to implement controller structure beyond the limit of decentralised control. This system has been used, in the context of point-to-point connections, to study a number of control problems including a study on robust stabilisation of nonlinear systems via decentralised control. Therefore the performances of the system having a NCS structure can be compared with those having a traditional structure of fixed connections. The detailed model, some simulation results of the system under both of a traditional structure and a NCS structure, and proposed further studies are presented in the paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a new methodology for designing a detection, isolation, and identification scheme for sensor faults in linear time-varying systems. Practically important is that the proposed methodology is constructed on the basis of historical data and does not require a priori information to isolate and identify sensor faults. This is achieved by identifying a state space model and designing a fault isolation and identification filter. To address time-varying process behavior, the state space model and fault reconstruction filter are updated using a two-time-scale approach. Fault identification takes place at a higher frequency than the adaptation of the monitoring scheme. To demonstrate the utility of the new scheme, the paper evaluates its performance using simulations of a LTI system and a chemical process with time-varying parameters and industrial data from a debutanizer and a melter process.

Inspection robot must detect the obstacles from the complex background according to their types when it is crawling along the power transmission line in order to negotiate reliably. In ideal cases, robot's vision system can give satisfactory results, however, motion blur due to camera motion caused by wind or other unknown causes can significantly degrade the quality of the image acquired. It is an undesired effect. In this paper, a complete motion deblurring procedure for obstacle images has been proposed, we try to analyze the running environment of the robot to develop the model of the motion blur. The acquired motion blur information is used to identify the point spread function (PSF) as well as restore the blurred image at the same time. Experiments on real blurred images on power transmission line prove the feasibility and reliability of this algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Random fuzzy theory is introduced to evaluate the option value of R&D project in this paper. Based on a new theoretical insight, we develop a random fuzzy jump amplitude model to price R&D option. In classic stochastic jump amplitude model, the value of R&D option depends on the expected number of jumps and the expected size of the jumps. However, in practice, it is so hard to get enough data that the distribution functions of them are difficult to be confirmed accurately. So random fuzzy theory can deal with these problems better. In this paper, the number of jumps and the size of jumps are taken as random fuzzy variables, and investment costs and future cash flows are depicted as fuzzy variables. New research tools for option pricing of R&D project are developed and the capability of dealing with practical problems is enhanced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently semantic web is an important issue in many areas. Ontology specifies the knowledge in a specific domain and defines the concepts of knowledge and the relationships between concepts. To specify and define the knowledge in a specific domain, it is required to generate the ontology which conceptualizes the knowledge. Accordingly, to search the information of potential customers for home-delivery marketing of post office, we design a specific domain to generate the ontology in this paper. And we propose how to retrieve the information, using the generated ontology. We also implement the data search robot which collects the information based on the generated ontology. Therefore we confirm that the ontology and the search robot perform the information retrieval exactly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we study clustering with respect to the k-modes objective function, a natural formulation of clustering for categorical data. One of the main contributions of this paper is to establish the connection between k-modes and k-median, i.e., the optimum of k-median is at most the twice the optimum of k-modes for the same categorical data clustering problem. Based on this observation, we derive a deterministic algorithm that achieves an approximation factor of 2. Furthermore, we prove that the distance measure in k-modes defines a metric. Hence, we are able to extend existing approximation algorithms for metric k-median to k-modes. Empirical results verify the superiority of our method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes a new model of access control by analyzing the window and attributes of the object, and based on this, a mechanism that offers a seamless multimedia view without interfering with access control is also suggested. There are two approaches to software architecture on which applications for multimedia distance education environment in situation-aware middleware are based. Those include CACV(Centralized-Abstraction and Centralized-View) and RARV(Replicated-Abstraction and Replicated-View).To win over such dilemma for centralized or replicated architecture, a combined approach, CARV(the Centralized Abstraction and Replicated View) architecture is used to realize the application sharing agent.

The focus of situation-aware ubiquitous computing has increased lately. An example of situation-aware applications is a multimedia education system. The development of multimedia computers and communication techniques has made it possible for a mind to be transmitted from a teacher to a student in distance environment. This paper proposes an Adaptive Fault Tolerance (AFT) algorithm in situation-aware middleware framework and presents its simulation model of AFT-based agents. FTE(Fault Tolerance Environment) provide several functions and features capable of developing multimedia distant education system among students and teachers during lecture. AFT is a system that is suitable for detecting and recovering software error based on distributed multimedia education environment as FTE by using software techniques. This method detects an error by using process database. When an error occurs, FTA(Fault Tolerance Agent) inspects it by using API(Application Program Interface) function for process database. If an error is found, FTA decides whether it is hardware error or software error. In case of software error, it can be recoverable. The purpose of AFT system is to maintain and recover for FTE session automatically. This paper proposes an Adaptive Fault Tolerance (AFT) algorithm in situation-aware middleware framework and presents its simulation model of AFT-based agents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we develop an energy and bandwidth efficient approach for target classification in sensor networks. Instead of adopting decision fusion to reduce network traffic as some recent research, we try to realize energy efficient target classification from a computational point of view. Our contribution is we propose a novel tree construction algorithm that autonomously organizes the distributed computation resources to execute the trained BP-network (BPN) in parallel manner. We evaluate the performance of our parallel computing paradigm compared to the traditional client/server-based computing paradigm from perspectives of energy consumption and communication traffic through analytical study. Finally, we take a target classification experiment to show the effectiveness of the proposed computing paradigm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an autonomous system of mobile nodes connected by wireless links. There is no static infrastructure such as base station in cell mobile communication. Due to the dynamic nature of the network topology and restricted resources, quality of service (QoS) and multicast routing in MANET is a challenging task. Finding and maintaining QoS multicast routing in the data is still more challenging. In this paper, we present an entropy-based genetic algorithm (GA) to support QoS multicast routing in mobile ad hoc networks (EQMGA). The key idea of EQMGA algorithm is to construct the new metric-entropy and select the long-life path with the help of entropy metric to reduce the number of route reconstruction so as to provide QoS guarantee in the ad hoc network. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach and parameters provide an accurate and efficient method to estimate and evaluate the route stability in dynamic mobile networks.

The rules give information on how to assign emotion to agents, receivers, etc. depending on the verb in the sentence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The proposed approach uses Naïve Bayesian, in order to convert the sparse ratings matrix into a full ratings matrix; subsequently using collaborative filtering, to provide recommendations. The proposed method is evaluated in the EachMovie dataset and the approach is demonstrated to perform better than both collaborative filtering and content-based filtering. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Utterance verification is a process, in which a spoken utterance is verified against the given keyword. This process is used to make a decision on acceptance or rejection. In this paper, we propose a new approach to the utterance verification, using a boosting classifier with ten confidence measures. This classifier combines a set of 'weak' learners into a 'strong' one. The experimental results present that it can remarkably improve the verification performance. Compared with a single confidence measure, the equal error rate is reduced by up to 23%. The results also show that the boosting classifier is better than the SVM and MLP classifiers, in term of the equal error rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Experiments are conducted to compare performance of the portfolios optimized by different objective functions with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm and Genetic Algorithm (GA) in terms of efficient frontiers.

Car plate Localization, which remains a difficult problem under complicated environment, is the key problem in many traffic related applications. In this paper we describe a new method based on modified Pulse Coupled Neural Network (PCNN) with adaptive threshold, which can capture relatively complete objects in human perception. After inverse filtering, PCNN processing is applied to produce a firing time sequence image. Then car plates' position and rotated angle can be extracted from the firing image. Experiment results show that the correct car plate locating rate reaches 98%, which is higher than other Localization methods on the same image database. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Owing to the fact that the networked control system is featured by uncertain delays, the stochastic time delay can be transformed into a deterministic delay by placing a special mount of buffers at the nodes in the networked control system, thus transform the stochastic networked control system into a deterministic delay system. A controller applying the predictive functional control is hence designed, for the purpose of improving the control capability through realizing the presumption of mould matching and multi-step prognosis. The results of both the simulation based on MATLAB and the experiment based on distributed control system (DCS) show that the method put forward in this paper are not only correct but also effective.

In order to meet the require of high speed and comfort and low producing cost, semi-active suspension for high-speed railway vehicle is adopted to control the vibration of car body. But accurate mathematic model of vehicle dynamics system is difficult to establish for the particularity of wheel-rail interaction and non-linear of system sky damper control needs the absolute speed of car body that its exact value is difficult to obtain. So adaptive fuzzy control method based on the acceleration feedback is put forward in the paper. The method which can modify automatically the scaling factor and control rules according to the acceleration and its change rate of car body is simulated by using ADAMS and MATLAB software. The simulation results show that the method can attenuate the vibration of car body and improve the comfort and stationarity effectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A good message scheduling algorithm could give timeliness guarantee to real-time control network. Based on DM algorithm, this paper presents an improved deadline-based algorithm, Deadline Monotonic with Urgent Message Considered (DMUMC), for FF control network message scheduling. The main idea of DMUMC is that deadline of urgent aperiodic message, such as alarms, was taken into account when establishing BAT. The simulation results show that DMUMC algorithm significantly reduces response time of urgent aperiodic message by adjusting service time of low priority periodic message with large deadline, and improves timeliness and message schedulability of FF control network, compared with traditional methods that didn't consider the issue of aperiodic message.

In this paper, a class of adaptive control systems is to be studied, in which the identification loop is closed over communication networks. The network-induced delays caused by the communication network are then inevitable and randomly time-varying in general. And these delays between controller and identifier can make a mess of the transmitted packet sequences which may deteriorate the control performance even destabilize the system. Obviously, the randomly time-varying delay is a key problem in networked adaptive control systems, and a strategy using the concept of fixed maximum delay is presented to avoid this problem. The adaptive system is proven to be convergent if such strategy is to be used. After that, with a view to further improve the performance, another modified strategy is proposed and the simulation results verify its validity and practicability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Open Vehicle Routing Problem was brought forward several decades ago, but it has still received little attention from researchers for a satisfactory solution. In this paper, a novel real number encoding method of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for Open Vehicle Routing Problem is proposed. The vehicle is mapped into the integer part of the real number; and the sequence of customers in the vehicle is mapped into the decimal fraction of the real number. After decoding, several heurist methods are applied into the post-optimization procedure, such as Nearest Insertion algorithm, GENI algorithm, and 2-Opt. They are used to optimize the inner or outer routes and modify illegal solutions. In the experiments, a number of numerical examples are carried out for testing and verification. The performance of the proposed post-optimization algorithm is analyzed and the particle swarm optimization algorithm is compared with other heuristic methods for the same problem.

Software metrics are collected at various phases of the software development process. These metrics contain the information of software and can be used to predict software quality in the early stage of software life cycle. Intelligent computing techniques such as data mining can be applied in the study of software quality by analyzing software metrics. Clustering analysis, which is one of data mining techniques, is adopted to build the software quality prediction models in early period of software testing. In this paper, three clustering methods, k-means, fuzzy c-means and Gaussian mixture model, are investigated for the analysis of two real-world software metric datasets. The experiment results show that the best method in predicting software quality is dependent on practical dataset, and clustering analysis technique has advantages in software quality prediction since it can be used in the case having little prior knowledge.

This type of system allows one to judge the world opinion on varying topics by looking at the emotion used within news articles about the topic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we present a new approach to align sentences in bilingual parallel corpora based on the use of the linguistic information of the text pair in Gaussian mixture model (GMM) classifier. A feature parameter vector is extracted from the text pair under consideration. This vector contains text features such as length, punctuation score, cognate score and a bilingual lexicon extracted from the parallel corpus under consideration. A set of manually prepared training data has been assigned to train the Gaussian mixture model. Another set of data was used for testing. Using the Gaussian mixture model approach, we could achieve error reduction of 160% over length based approach when applied on English-Arabic parallel documents. In addition, the results of (GMM) outperform the results of the combined model which exploits length, punctuation, cognate and bilingual lexicon in a dynamic framework. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Part-of-speech (POS) tagging and shallow parsing are sequence modeling problems. While HMM and other generative models are not the most appropriate for the task of labeling sequential data. Compared with HMM, Maximum Entropy Markov models (MEMM) and other discriminative finite-state models can easily fused more features, however they suffer from the label bias problem. This paper presents a method of Chinese POS tagging and shallow parsing based on conditional random fields (CRF), as new discriminative sequential models, which may incorporate many rich features and well avoid the label bias problem. Moreover, we propose the information feedback from syntactical analysis to lexical analysis, since natural language should be a multi-knowledge interaction in nature. Experiments show that CRF approach achieves 0.70% F-score improvement in POS tagging and 0.67% improvement in shallow parsing. And we also confirm the effectiveness of information feedback to some complicated multi-class words. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
