The following topics are dealt with: information management; information education; software application; semantic query; e-procurement; dc-dc converter; adaptive window method; genetic algorithm; manipulator control; grid workflow recovery; context awareness; semantic index structure and search engine.
It is my great pleasure and privilege to greet all presenters and participants of the IEEE International Conference on Open Systems (ICOS 2010) organized by IEEE Malaysia Section Computer Chapter and PELS Chapter.
The query-based on the result is less relevant documents results. In this study, a query has been improved in order to retrieve more relevant documents across language boundaries, a mechanism for query translation with semantic which is applied on as semantic query (SQ). Therefore, this study is conducted with the purposes to investigate semantic approach against the queries and vice versa. Furthermore,...
This paper compares hard and soft updating centroids for clustering Y-STR data. The hard centroids represented by New Fuzzy k-Modes clustering algorithm, whereas the soft centroids represented through k-Population algorithm. These two algorithms are experimented through two datasets, Y-STR haplogroups and Y-STR Surnames. The results show that the soft centroid performance is better than the hard centroid...
E-procurement has been recognized as an element of Business-to-Business (B2B) E-commerce. In B2B organizations have inter firm acquisition of goods and services over the internet. This paper focuses the current and future readiness level of E-procurement among organizations in Malaysia. A survey questionnaire was administered to collect data from 46 organizations. The general finding shows that Malaysian...
Variance in business process can lead to various changes and modifications of business requirements, strategies and functionalities since it is a valuable source of organizational intellectual capital and represents a preferred and successful work practice. It is important to provide an effective method to analyze the similarity between these variants since it can bring benefits for organization productivity...
Inrush current in transformers is generated when transformer cores are driven into saturation during no-load energization. This current consists of high amplitude, large DC component and also, has much 2nd harmonic content. In the proposed paper, a new computer-aided simulation technique for teaching inrush current principles and its discrimination from normal current based on artificial intelligence...
Power electronic laboratory may seem to be a good method of education. Despite the benefits of a laboratory-based education, some serious limitations make it difficult to consider this method as a main educating tool. In addition, power electronic laboratory is one of the most expensive laboratories in both foundation and operation. Moreover, the complexity of power electronic circuits makes it hard...
Survnvote is a free Audience Response System (ARS) for surveys and voting using the web, sms and mobile devices (PDA or smart phone). This paper proposed some improved features of a web-based ARS which replace the clicker with mobile phone and use the web instead of specialist software and infrastructure. Survnvote solved the main problem of traditional ARS which is high cost and need to physically...
The query-based on the result is lack of limited relevant documents in retrieval results. Therefore, query performance is considered to retrieve more relevant documents across language boundaries by applying semantic and stemmers which are more significant as stemming semantic query (SSQ). Therefore, this study is conducted with the purposes to investigate the integration semantic and stemmers approach...
Today a wide range of Web 2.0 applications (such as Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, RSS, Podcasts and Wikis) are giving new challenges and opportunities in teaching and learning. The work described here concerns a pilot study to investigate the acceptability and effectiveness of using web 2.0 as an aid to learning. The work focuses on a university course on academic writing skills. The role of Web 2.0 applications...
Chemistry is not an easy subject to learn. Many people regard chemistry as being too hard, too abstract, too mathematical, and only for very bright students. As a result, a negative attitude has developed about chemistry with students claiming chemistry is boring. Besides, most of the chemical concepts articulated by macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic. This led to conflict and confusion in learning...
There are several windows used for truncated the impulse response in order to fixed the filter size. Kaiser window is the most important type and from it is possible to generate other types of windows depending on the value of α. The proposed adaptive Finite Impulse Response (FIR) Filter is designed and implemented to merge many filter parameters. The results are obtained in different window...
Genetic algorithms (GAs) are a class of optimization algorithms. GAs attempt to solve problems through modeling a simplified version of genetic processes. There are many problems for which a Genetic Algorithm approach is useful. It is, however, undetermined if cryptanalysis is such a problem. Therefore, this work trying to explore the use of Genetic Algorithms in cryptography. The focus is to be on...
