Sampark is machine translation system providing translations among nine pairs of Indian languages. Machine translation system is a class of natural language processing applications that is far more complex and highly compute intensive in nature. As the load on the deployed system increases, optimization becomes a challenge. Caching is one of the available options to improve the performance of a software...
This concept paper reviews relevant literature in order first to identify the most common features needed for an effective health care Real Time Location System (RTLS) and secondly to evaluate common RTLS technologies against this identified feature criteria in order to determine the most feasible technology. The most feasible set of technologies arising from this evaluation is considered for further...
Social Media is a wide, continuous and unstructured data source that produced by unconscious volunteers especially for geographic information. This easily produced data thanks to GPS and Web 2.0 technology has been seen a substantive data source especially for unexpected events like natural disasters, riots, and terror attacks and so on. In this study, 15 July Coup Attempt to the Republic of Turkey...
This article proposes an approach to generate test cases from BPMN models, for automated testing of Web applications implemented with the support of BPM suites. The work is primarily focused on functional testing and has the following objectives: (i) identify execution paths from the flow analysis in the BPMN model and (ii) generate the initial code of test scripts to be run on a given Web application...
The extremely low degree of success in designing the systems with software is a root reason for the finding of novelties in theoretical and practical foundations of software engineering. This paper focuses on building the project theories of a substantially evolutionary type that corresponds to the becoming of a project documentation. An offered way-of-working is based on the use of question-answering...
There is a new economic paradigm that establishes the need for continuous updating, concern with customer satisfaction and the generation of products and services with higher added value in the software development organizations. The organizations execute projects with the objective of support their operations, to respond the strategic objectives or a challenge/idea, to resolve a problem or investment...
Error-handling (EH) code snippets are widely used for troubleshooting in software projects. Analyzing these snippets help to better understand how developers handle errors. However, the identification of such error-handling code snippets from the large-scale software is non-trivial, since traditional methods meet a challenge of scalability. In this paper, we analyze a large number of error-handling...
The Fast Marching Method is widely used for the solution of the Eikonal equation in problems arising in science and engineering applications. A common application is the calculation of the distance to an interface resulting in a signed distance field. The Fast Marching Method is a non-iterative high accuracy method. However, the sequential nature of the algorithm does not favor a straightforward parallelization...
New customers often require custom features of a successfully marketed product. As the number of variants grow, new challenges arise in the maintenance and evolution activities. Software product line (SPL) architecture is a timely answer to these challenges. The SPL adoption however is a large one time investment that affects both technical and organizational issues. From the program code point of...
In living organisms, cellular functions are executed and controlled by gene regulatory networks. Malfunctioning of controlled regulation can lead to pathogenesis. Crosstalk in biological regulation has a significant impact on maintaining homeostasis within organisms. In this study, a timed Hybrid Petri Nets approach is used to model the biological regulatory network of the crosstalk of AMPK, PI3K...
Service-oriented architectures are a widely used business practice to develop enterprise information systems. However, the current analysis and design methods consider the software engineering perspective only, what is not sufficient for a proper alignment between business and IT, resulting in demand for new approaches offering the business perspective as well. Such new approaches are required crucial...
Deception-based mechanisms are typically used to enhance overall security by causing misperception on adversaries who take actions in favor of defense. The process of creating deception is complex and demands careful planning to maximize the benefits while mitigating potential risks. Advances in creating deception planning processes for cyber security are generally based on military tactics, where...
Knowledge management (KM) is a discipline that improves the ability of companies in solving problem, adapt with changing in business, also helping them to gain and sustain their competitive advantages. This study is carried out with the objective to identify the measurement scale of KM practices, and to explore the impact of KM practice on the performance of small and medium enterprises in Vietnam...
According to a cardiac surgeon, it is difficult to predict age from heart rate as it is nonlinear, but we can use a person's heart beat to predict whether that person is fit, unfit and overtrained or not, provided we have that person's age. Based on heart beat we can predict whether a person is in Stress or not. Stress is one of the main factors that are affecting millions of lives. Thus, it is important...
It is important to model progression of a disease to understanding if the patient's condition is improving or getting worse. In the case of HIV disease, the change in the patient's CD4+ T cell count is used to calculate the progression of HIV disease i.e. if the CD4 count goes down it represent the progression of the patient's HIV disease. Due to the lack of an effective cure for HIV disease, it is...
This paper presents a literature review of roles played by information and innovative technologies for helping children suffering from Autism Spectrum Disease (ASD). ASD is a pervasive developmental disorder having issues 1with social communication, interests, coordination, attention, and health. People with autism are very sensitive and cannot afford a minor change in their surrounding environment...
The cell formation problem is a classic optimization problem devoted to the manufacturing industry. Such a problem proposes to divide a manufacturing plant in a set of cells, where each cell is composed of machines which in turn process product parts. The goal is to design a plant division in such a way the need for part interchange among cells is minimized. The idea is to reduce cost and increase...
