In this paper, we have proposed a novel algorithm based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) for finding near-optimal solutions for the Multi-dimensional Multi-choice Knapsack Problem (MMKP). MMKP is a discrete optimization problem, which is a variant of the classical 0-1 Knapsack Problem and is also an NP-hard problem. Due to its high computational complexity, exact solutions of MMKP are not suitable...
Face recognition is considered as a high dimensionality problem. To handle high dimensionality, a numerous methods have been proposed in literature. In this paper, we propose a novel face recognition method that efficiently solves that problem using MPEG-7 edge histogram descriptor. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first attempt to use edge histogram descriptor in face recognition. Although...
Data management is one of the fundamental requirements of ubiquitous computing. Existing data management systems are complex and provide a multitude of functionalities. Due to complexity and their monolithic architecture, it is difficult to tune these data management systems for consistent performance. In this paper, we extend our existing work of Cellular DBMS with the concept of autonomy. We present...
Data mining refers to extracting or ldquominingrdquo knowledge from large amounts of data. Thus, it plays an important role in extracting spatial patterns and features. It is an essential process where intelligent methods are applied in order to extract data patterns. In this paper, we have proposed a technique with which it is possible to detect whether a given data set is erroneous. Furthermore,...
The objective of this paper is to discuss the design and implementation of a multi-agent system that provides intelligence to a distributed smart grid - a smart grid located at a distribution level. A multi-agent application development will be discussed that involves agent specification, application analysis, application design and application realization. The message exchange in the proposed multi-agent...
This paper discusses on an English-Malay translation memory (TM) prototype system developed as a tool to translate English to Malay text by re-using pre-translated examples stored in the TM repositories. The architectural system design and structural model of the English-Malay TM using data flow diagrams (DFDs) are also described. We then shared the sample of implementation model of the English-Malay...
