The Backtracking Method

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
One of the best known general techniques for developing of the algorithms is the Backtracking method. It seeks to eliminate the generation of all possibilities in order to get the result. The Backtracking method can be applied to those problems for which the solution can be represented as a vector whose elements take values in some finite sets and who meet certain internal conditions. In the Backtracking method, the vector elements are expressed one at a time, assigning a value to a component will be done only after values have been assigned to all its previous components, and no incompatibilities exist between these values. Classical problems solved by this method are: queens problem, Cartesian product generation, the generation of combinations, the 0-1 knapsack problem. The book is structured into 7 chapters and provides the solutions to a number of 19 classical problems by using versions of the backtracking algorithm. Most of the paragraphs are followed by a section with solved exercises and problems. ····· 1036120976

Decision Support Systems a Critical Success Factor for IT-Governance

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
IT-Governance has a major impact not only on IT management but also and foremost in the Enterprises performance and control. Business uses IT agility, flexibility and innovation to pursue its objectives and to sustain its strategy. However being it more critical to the business, compliance forces IT on the opposite way of predictability, stability and regulations. Adding the current economical environment and the fact that most of the times IT departments are considered cost centres, IT-Governance decisions become more important and critical. This research intends to provide an answer to IT-Governance requirements using Data Driven Decision Support Systems based on dimensional models. To address this research opportunity we have considered IT-Governance research (Peter Weill), best practises (ITIL), Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) and frameworks (COBIT). Key IT-Governance processes (Change Management, Incident Management, Project Development and Service Desk Management) were studied and key process stakeholders were interviewed. Based on the facts gathered, dimensional models (data marts) were modelled and developed to answer to key improvement requirements on each IT-Governance process. ····· 1036120938

Visual Planning and Verification of DBS Interventions

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has resulted in a renaissance as an alternative way for treatment of parkinson`s disease and essential tremor. Deep brain stimulation employ the use of high electric field to stimulate some brain centers. The final position of the electrodes in the brain is specified by the aid of CT and MRI scans for the patient`s head before and after the operation. A study of electric field distribution in the brain is required to interpret and improve the action of DBS. In this master thesis project, Voreen was extended to visualize a multimodal volume of the CT and MR images. The MR volume was segmented to extract the brain from the skull in T1 weighted images. Some image processing techniques were developed to enhance the contrast of CT and MR images. In order to stimulate electric field in the brain, the neurologists are allowed to design and position the electrodes in the reconstructed volume. The electrodes and some pre-modeled electric fields can be visualized in the reconstructed volume and the slice views. A mesh generator was developed using delaunay tetrahedralization. ····· 1036120645

Schema Matching and Integration When schemas are in thousands

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
In literature one can find numerous works on the subject of schema matching and integration. Under normal circumstances the methods employed are ideal for matching two schemas. But with the Web scale data sources availability, these techniques need to be enhanced. Querying schemas over web requires more robust and performance oriented techniques which have the capacity to cope with the large scale scenarios, where hundreds and thousands of schemas need to be matched for integration or data exchange. For a single query on the web, hundreds of schemas in the subject domain need to be scrutinized, to get the right information stored against them. The dynamic nature of web makes the scenario very difficult to comprehend by humans as well as software systems, for retrieval of good results. The work presented in this book is motivated by these large scale schema matching and integration applications. The book gives a detail explanation of research done in this domain. A hybrid approach utilizing tree mining technique is explained, to tackle the large scale scenario. Further, the same tree mining algorithm is extended to compute complex schema matching. ····· 1036120542

Circle Based Model

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This research deals with the English characters recognition system (all the alphanumeric characters) and Basic mathematics symbol by using a newly proposed circle based model (CBM) method. The proposed CBM method gives the geometric definition for all English Alphanumeric characters. All characters recognized by using arc (s), radius (radii) and center of a circle. Any character is recognized by the presence or absence of arc (s), radius (radii) and center. Thus our proposed feature vector consists of eight radii, eight arcs and a center of a character. From CBM we get different index values for distinct characters and using this value any alphanumeric characters can be recognized. The overall efficiency of the CBM is satisfactory to recognize the characters at the specified font. It has been found from the experimental results that the accuracy rate is approximately 96% for all types of character recognition. ····· 1036120472

Predictive Software Measures Based on Formal Z Specifications

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The success of software development projects depends highly on meeting the assigned schedule and budget of the project which are often defined in terms of a project plan. Estimation is the basis for planning therefore, having a reliable way of estimating effort needed to perform the tasks is a must for a reliable project plan. Already in 1987, Samson, Nevill and Dugard, showed that there is a strong and direct influence of formal specification metrics onto the effort needed for implementation. Since then, there has been some progress in various aspects of formal specifications the introduction of specification slicing methods, slice-based specification metrics, and methods for visualization of specifications has opened new ways for measuring properties of specifications with more metrics. Nevertheless, there hasn t been much progress in the field of cost estimation using recent achievements of formal specifications. The main focus in this work is to examine if there is a correlation between formal Z specification measures and implementation related measures. In concise, this work tries to explain the correlation between the measures in specifications and code. ····· 1036120423

Semantics Enabled Interaction

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Interaction has been considered as one of the most important activities in human s life from the antiquity to the modern times. The revolution of information technology has led to the emergence of electronic interaction that involves machines to support and facilitate humans` interaction. Though the research on electronic interaction has achieved large advances in the last decades, there are still critical and challenging problems especially with regards to semantic interaction. Namely, little attention has been paid to devise technology that reflects humans natural interaction. Humans need a smart technology that reasons and acts on behalf of them and, consequently, minimize their effort. In order to reflect the human natural interaction, one core problem to face is the semantics in human interaction. In this work, we study the semantics enabled interaction. Our ultimate goal is to develop a technology that maximizes the reflection of human natural way of interacting. We present a theory of the semantic enabled interaction by capturing its definition, procedure and semantics. ····· 1036120373

Automata-theoretic methods in free monoids and free groups

für 49.41€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Automata-theoretic tools have been deeply utilized in literature for studying algebraic matters, in particular free monoids and free groups. In this book we propose to study finitely generated submonoids of free monoids and finitely generated subgroups of free groups, and their intersection. Free monoids play an important role in combinatorics on words and in formal language theory. The study of submonoids of free monoids has been deepened by using combinatorial and automata methods in the setting of the theory of variable-length codes, started by M.P.Schützenberger. We investigate the intersection of two finitely generated submonoids of the free monoid on a finite alphabet by using an automata-theoretic approach. For what concerns free groups, several open problems have been solved and moreover several algorithms concerning group`s problems have been optimized using automata. We focus on algorithms constructing particular bases for a subgroup of a free group and in particular strongly reduced Nielsen bases. Using inverse automata we furnish two algorithms for the construction of a strongly Nielsen basis for a finitely generated subgroup. ····· 1036120250

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) involves machine recognition of characters from digitized images of optically scanned document pages. OCR systems facilitate large scale document transcriptions and have potential applications in extracting data from filled-in forms,interpreting handwritten addresses from mail pieces, and so on. An OCR technique is either aimed at printed or handwritten characters of a particular script. The present work addresses certain key problems related to OCR of handwritten documents of Bangla script with successful development of techniques for skew angle detection and text line extraction, word segmentation, and digit, character and word recognition. This work also includes development of applications for recognition of PIN codes from Indian Postal documents, interpretation of handwritten form documents, and an user interface for editing machine recognized handwritten Bangla documents. Bangla is the second most popular script and language in the Indian subcontinent. As a script, it is used for Bangla, Ahamia and Manipuri languages. Bangla, which is also the national language of Bangladesh, is the fifth/sixth most popular language in the world. ····· 1036120188

Model-based Spreadsheet Engineering

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Spreadsheets play an important role in software organizations: they are not only used to define sheets containing data and formulas, but also to collect information from different systems, to perform operations to enrich or simplify data, etc. Unfortunately, spreadsheet systems provide poor support for modularity, abstraction, and transformation, thus making the maintenance of spreadsheets a complex and error-prone task. An emerging solution to handle complex software systems is model-driven engineering. Its basic principle is to consider models as first class entities and to classify any software artifact as either a model or a model instance. In our work, we adapted to spreadsheets several techniques that are inspired by model-driven approaches to generic software systems. In fact, most spreadsheets lack a proper specification or a model. Using reverse engineering techniques we are able to derive various models from legacy spreadsheets: they can be used for several improvements, namely refactoring, safe evolution, migration or even generation of edit assistance. The techniques presented in this book have been integrated in HaExcel, a framework to improve spreadsheet productivity. ····· 1036120157

Fractal Geometry Analysis of Color Textural Images

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Color texture classification is an important step in image analysis specially for segmentation and recognition applications of textures of natural scenes, such as leaves surfaces, terrains models, etc. and also in medical applications like hist-Pathological tissue analysis. This book introduce the idea of using the concept of fractal dimension spectrum for describing, discriminating and classifying different visual textures. Two methods for estimating the fractal dimension spectra are proposed the first method is the modified binarization method and the second is the traditional box counting method. A testing procedure was conducted to evaluate the degree of sensitivity for each kind of fractal dimension spectrum to the visual variation of the different textures. It has been shown a satisfactory results for the usage of fractal dimension spectra as textural discriminating criteria. The proposed classification methods were applied on two important set of images the first set consists of remote sensing images, and the second set consists of breast tumors images. The higher recognition accuracy in the first set of textures images was (100%), while in the second set was (98.8%). ····· 1036120039

Solution of an optimal control problem using neural networks

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
In spite of continuing advances in optimal solution techniques for optimization and control problems, many practical combinatorial problems remain too large or too complex to be solved by these known techniques. Thus, a heuristic approach (Neural Network Model) is often the only viable alternative. Neural Network Models offer the most unified approach to building truly intelligent systems which can provide good optimal solution for many applications. In this work we propose a hybrid (Kalkoh) neural network algorithm which is being used to model and solve the continuous stirred tank mixer (CSTM) problem. The hybrid algorithm is robust and converges fast without being trapped into a local minimal as is the case with the popular back-propagation neural network. The characteristic equations governing the dynamics of the Continuous Stirred Tank Mixer/Reactor and the controller were formulated and tested and found to be consistently stable. ····· 1036119685

Rain fall is a key climatic element considered as the most important factor that influencing our earth and commonly the Ethiopian agriculture. It is also principal cause of droughts and flood triggered by the spatial and temporal rainfall variation, fluctuation and excess of rainfall, and extreme events. In this respect, the development of remote sensing technology and GIS application which are now able to manage the satellite based rainfall estimates by giving answer for specific complain such as-stations do not adequately reflect the various climatic zones of the country, unevenly distribution of gauge networking system, establishing dense network is not economically viable, poor accuracy and missing of gauge readings and records, and so on.These problems can be alleviated only through the use of satellite data. This book, therefore, provides the evaluation and characterization approach of satellite rainfall data, the fact that satellite derived data is continuous in space and could be obtained regularly has made it very useful for understanding of such situations and integration of this knowledge into planning and decision making process. ····· 1036119511

Analysis of performance and scaling of the scientific code Octopus

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This project analyses the current state of the parallelization of the scientific code Octopus. Octopus is a complex application that calculates atomic properties of the matter. More specifically, we have applied Octopus to simulate the absorption of the light in different splits of the chlorophyll molecule with different number of atoms. We have analysed the scalability of the parallel version of Octopus, varying the number of processors and the size of the atomic systems under analysis. For this study, we have used the most advanced supercomputers in Europe: Jugene and MareNostrum. This project has shown that the current version of Octopus fairly scales up to 4000-8000 cores, but new obstacles emerge when we try to surpass this limit. Our analysis has identified such problems, and several solutions, now under development, are presented.This master thesis is the first step of a more general project, aimed to offer scientists an application that could be run efficiently using hundreds of thousands of processors, the only way to obtain atomic properties of realistic size systems in a reasonable bounded time. ····· 1036119293

A Model-driven Approach to Refactoring

····· lezzter Preis 71.10€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Refactoring object-oriented software, as any other evolutionary task, usually affects source code and object models, burdening developers to keep those artifacts correct and up to date. Due to the gap between modeling and programming artifacts, refactoring efforts soon become duplicate and considerably expensive. In this context, currently used tool support, in special Round-Trip Engineering (RTE) tools, fails to fully automate evolution tasks. Consequently, most projects discard object models early in the life cycle, adhering to code-driven approaches. This work proposes a formal approach to consistently refactor object models and object-oriented programs of a system in a model-driven manner. Model refactoring is backed by formal laws of modeling, which are guaranteed to be semantics preserving. Each refactoring, a composition of laws, applicable to an object model, is associated with a semi-automatic sequence of applications of laws of programming, called strategy. Strategies are applied by relying on a specific conformance relationship between object models and programs, which must fulfill a specific degree of confinement. ····· 1036118700

Data Quality and its Staleness dimension

By its nature, term `data quality` with its generic meaning `fitness for use` has both subjective and objective aspects. To demonstrate how one can benefit from measuring and controlling quality of one`s data, in this book we presented three real world use cases which demonstrate a top-down research approach of the data quality scope in three different real world applications. In particular, we study the following problems: 1) how quality of data can be defined and propagated to customers in a business intelligence application for quality-aware decision making 2) how data quality can be defined, measured and used in a web-based system operating with semi-structured data from and designated to both humans and machines 3) how a data-driven (vs. system-driven) time-related data quality notion of staleness can be defined, efficiently measured and monitored in a generic information system. The work should help researchers and professionals working on both generic data quality problems as its understanding in a given context, and on data quality`s specific applications as measurement its dimensions. ····· 1036118664

Most classic results in logic and recursivity use number theoretic algorithms. Coding non-trivial algorithm by means of additions and multiplications may become ridiculously cumbrous. Understanding logic and recursion may be significantly improved by rewriting the algorithms implied by their constructive proofs in languages `playing` with a data-type more sophisticated than mere `int` or `string`. In the book readers will find definition and use for a new model of TM, called `list TM`, which is based on the data-type their name suggests. ····· 1036118627
