This paper presents a new approach for short term hourly load forecasting (STLF) using combined artificial neural network (CANN) module. The CANN module is developed for STLF using two different algorithms - evolutionary programming (EP) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). In this paper, a set of neural networks has been trained with different architecture and training parameters. The artificial...
Software testing is indispensable for all software development. As all mature engineering disciplines need to have systematic testing methodologies, software testing is a very important subject of software engineering. In software development practice, testing accounts for as much as 50% of total development efforts. Testing can be manual, automated, or a combination of both.Manual testing is the...
Web usage mining exploits data mining techniques to discover valuable information from navigation behavior of World Wide Web (WWW) users. The required information is captured by Web servers and stored in Web usage data logs. The first phase of Web usage mining is the pre processing phase. In the preprocessing phase, first, relevant information is filtered from the logs. Data preprocessing is a critical...
Testing is an iterative process of both validating functionality and even more important attempting to break the softwareTest case is used for testing which is a set of test data and test programs (test scripts) and their expected results. This paper details on the tool TCGOJ, test case generation and optimization for Java programs, that generates test cases for any Java programs and produces an optimized...
In this paper we have proposed three variations of the Basic Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO), called GWPSO+ED, GWPSO+GD and GWPSO+UD. The novelty of the approach is the combination a newly developed inertia weight with different probability distributions. The numerical results of the modified versions are compared with the BPSO. Simulations show that the proposed versions are comparable with BPSO...
In this paper we have presented a new variant of Basic Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) algorithm named QIPSO for solving global optimization problems. The QIPSO algorithm makes use of a multiparent, quadratic crossover/reproduction operator defined by us in the BPSO algorithm. We have compared it with Basic Particle Swarm Optimization and the numerical results show that QIPSO outperforms the BPSO...
This paper discusses the argumentative reasoning methodology adopted during knowledge sharing and the special techniques utilized from Indian logic to reason with inconsistent knowledge. Winning or losing arguments are not important; the amount of valid information shared between the arguers during rational debate qualifies for the scope of discussion. Proponent's arguments explain one's thoughts...
This paper focuses on the role of emotion and its synthesis in affective agents facilitating mental development through social interaction. The mechanism of Psychodynamic Cognitive Construction (PCC) is presented, underscoring emotion as physically grounded, dynamically constructed, and personally experienced process. The system using affective appraisal as an intrinsic motivation for autonomous mental...
Image based modeling and rendering from single view image is challenging as it requires a considerable amount of user interaction while modeling the objects. We present a novel and very efficient method of automatically modeling the planar surfaces in the single view perspective images based on the edges and intensity representation. By considering the length of the vertical edges, it is possible...
Usually CDMA use is restricted to mainly cellular networks. In this paper, the CDMA technique has been tried on computer networks in ad-hoc mode. Also a new technique to increase the speed of the CDMA system manifold by dynamic chip length allocation is being developed.
In this paper we provide solution to improve the heterogeneous data source access in web application using the emerging intelligent mobile agent technology. Intelligent Mobile agents are the basis of an emerging technology that promises to make it very much easier to design, implement, and maintain network system. We found that mobile agents reduce network traffic, provide an effective mans of overcoming...
An Ad hoc network is a connection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a temporary network without use of any existing network infrastructure of centralized administration. Due to the limited transmission range of wireless network interfaces, multiple network hops may be required for one node to exchange data with another across the network. In recent years, a variety of new routing protocols...
The process of extracting a foreground object from an image based on limited user input, is an important task in image and video editing. This paper addresses the problem of efficient extraction of a foreground object in a complex environment whose background cannot be trivially subtracted. Natural image matting is usually composed of: foreground and background color estimating and alpha estimating...
In this paper a survey of the gap-coupled microstrip antennas is presented. The need and types of gap-coupled microstrip antennas with recent research overview is discussed. By using the concept of gap-coupling the bandwidth of microstrip antenna can be increased. In this one patch is fed and the parasitic patch is excited by the gap-coupling. The concept of increasing the bandwidth by gap-coupling...
Digital beamforming algorithms are used for spatial filtering which results in reduction of interference and improvement of directivity for spatial separation of users to support an increased number of users in the same band. A new variable step size LMS algorithm is presented and compared with various blind and trained adaptive algorithms for WiMAX access networks. WiMAX broadband wireless data networks...
