A promising approach to increase the efficiency of infrastructure usage is to adapt the assignment of resources to workloads. This can be used, for example, to consolidate existing workloads so that the new capability can be used to serve new requests, or alternatively unused resources may be turned off to reduce energy consumption. Many architectural solutions have been presented for data centre...
This paper presents a novel extension of the Technique for Ordering of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. The method is based on aggregation of rules with different linguistic values of the output of fuzzy networks to solve multi criteria decision-making problems whereby both benefit and cost criteria are presented as subsystems. Thus the decision maker evaluates the performance...
This is a poster in support of our long paper, "Quill: A Framework for Constructing Negotiated Texts, with a Case Study on the US Constitutional Convention of 1787". The paper describes a new approach to the presentation of records relating to formal negotiations and the texts that they create. It describes the architecture of a model, platform, and web-interface (https://www.quillproject...
This paper describes a new approach to the presentation of records relating to formal negotiations and the texts that they create. It describes the architecture of a model, platform, and web-interface (https://www.quillproject.net) that can be used by domain-experts to convert the records typical of formal negotiations in to a model of decision-making (with minimal training). This model has implications...
This paper introduces a novel modification of the technique for ordering of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method and uses a fuzzy system with multiple rule bases to solve multi-criteria decision making problems where both benefit and cost criteria are presented as subsystems. Thus, the decision maker evaluates the performance of each alternative for optimization and further observes...
Data mining tools can be very useful to predict future trends and performance, allowing decision makers to make forecasting on the data gathered. However the integration of data mining and optimization is looked as a new combination technique to enhance the quality of the decision making process. This study described the integration between optimization and data mining for decision making.
The current business and economic scenario demand for accounting expertise to be easily adaptable to evolving issues and be able to address business challenges efficiently. This expertise relates to management accountants who play a significant role in the internal management of the business having to assist in providing information for effective decision-making towards better business performance...
In this paper, we are looking at the differences between autistic and normal children in term of fine motor movement. Previous findings have shown that there are differences between autistic children and normal children when performing a simple motor movement tasks. Imitating a finger tapping and clinching a hand are two examples of a simple motor movement tasks. Our study had adopted one of the video...
Thin client systems have advanced recently with new innovative design extensions such as virtualisation and cloud computing. Client-server architecture is the basis for thin client system to connect remote multi-workstations to administrative servers located in headquarters or data center. This paper first presents a literature review on thin client concept and virtualization. In the next section,...
Fault-tolerant systems are such systems that can continue their operation, even in presence of faults. Redundancy as one of the main techniques in implementation of fault-tolerant control systems uses voting algorithms to choose the most appropriate value among multiple redundant and probably faulty results. Average (mean) voter is one of the commonest voting methods which is suitable for decision...
