We demonstrate a procedure of contaminant-related failure analysis, which identifies where the contaminant sources are by looking for the matched characteristics in a contaminant library. As a result, an expandable contaminant library with over a half thousand of samples is created along with an indexing searching engine to largely reduce the time-consuming identification. With this system, we can...
Scientific documents need to be checked for plagiarism before publication. On the other hand, authors do not want to reveal their document's contents prior to successful publication. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for plagiarism detection in scientific digital libraries, which does not reveal contents of unpublished documents, but allows for early detection of plagiarism attempts. Based...
This paper presents a novel relational database architecture aimed to visual objects classification and retrieval. The framework is based on the bag-of-features image representation model combined with the Support Vector Machine classification and is integrated in a Microsoft SQL Server database.
Semiconductor products have long lead times and complicated Bills of Material, requiring a robust method of planning both capacity requirements and mask builds. Concept Product Planning enables the existing production systems to reserve capacity for new parts prior to completion of the final design using an attributes based system to create representative planning inputs.
In this paper, we address the challenging problem of single-view cross-season place recognition. A new approach is proposed for compact discriminative scene descriptor that helps in coping with changes in appearance in the environment. We focus on a simple effective strategy that uses objects whose appearance remain the same across seasons as valid landmarks. Unlike popular bag-of-words (BoW) scene...
In large software systems, it is common practice to adopt third-party libraries. Decisions by system maintainers to either update or introduce new third-party libraries can range from trivial to complex. For instance, incompatibility between internal library dependencies may complicate adoption. Therefore, system maintainers especially need adequate assurance of any candidate library release. Using...
Exceptions are an indispensable part of the software development process. However, developers usually rely on imprecise results from a web search to resolve exceptions. More specifically, they should personally take into account the context of an exception, then, choose and adapt a relevant solution to solve the problem. In this paper, we present Exception Tracer, an Eclipse plug in that helps developers...
This document represents a client server based application designed for the purpose of artefact recognition in a museum, based on photos made with the help of a mobile phone. Image recognition was conducted with the help of SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features) algorithm. Server was implemented with the usage of Netty library. Because of the parallel approach used both in the classification part and during...
The knowledge resources available on the Internet are increasingly being used to support software both at development time and at execution time. These take the form of conventional services as well as human knowledge work both through crowd sourcing and information stored directly on the World Wide Web. But while these resources are vast and rich, they are also unreliable. In this paper, we propose...
Examining a large number of software artifacts can provide the research community with data regarding quality and design. We present a dataset obtained by statically analyzing 22730 jar files taken from the Maven central archive, which is the de-facto application library repository for the Java ecosystem. For our analysis we used three popular static analysis tools that calculate metrics regarding...
An Application Programming Interface (API) provides a specific set of functionalities to a developer. The main aim of an API is to encourage the reuse of already existing functionality. There has been some work done into API popularity trends, API evolution and API usage. For all the aforementioned research avenues there has been a need to mine the usage of an API in order to perform any kind of analysis...
The article describes proven methods for MS SQL Server Express which automatically keep the latest data in the primary database, while older data are transferred into dynamically created databases. The system was deployed in Třinecké Železárny a. s. where the data older than 30 days is kept in the primary database, and older data is transferred into databases that were dynamically created for each...
Detection of nucleic acid biomarker has particular importance for disease diagnosis and environmental safety. Yet the identification of low-abundant nucleic acids with unknown sequence remains extremely challenging. Previously we reported a strategy to identify short cDNA molecules using nicking endonucleases that create sequence-specific topographical labels visible by AFM. As such, the identity...
This paper describes approach and methods used for the development of navigation services for people with disabilities. Our previous papers contained the description of informational environment development for disabled people. The environment includes several applications utilizing unified database and providing the information support to disabled people. The service “Accessibility Passports” was...
At the onset of the widespread usage of social networking services in the Web 2.0/3.0 era, leveraging a distributed and scalable caching layer like Memcached is often invaluable to application server performance. Since a majority of the existing clusters today are equipped with modern high speed interconnects such as InfiniBand, that offer high bandwidth and low latency communication, there is potential...
With the emergence of Big Data, the use of NoSQL (Not only SQL) technology is rising rapidly among internet companies and other enterprises. Benefits include simplicity of design, horizontal scaling and finer control over availability. NoSQL databases are increasingly considered a viable alternative to relational databases, as more organizations recognize that its schema less data model is a better...
At present, developing and managing a collection of e-resources is an essential responsibility of any university library in Sri Lanka, especially in order to go in parallel with their counterparts in developed world. However, these electronic resources are expensive and inevitable at the same time. This paper sheds light on the importance and utilization of e-resources, and discusses about the current...
Building digital library applications is often a search for an applicable and adequate data or document model as well as for software tools which meets the requirements. Especially in digital archives, there are several data and document models to be considered. Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all document model or system. For each application, the requirements and properties of a project...
In the present digital era, e-journals have become preferred source of information among the scientists/ researchers/ academics worldwide because of various reasons. To provide e-journals service to the users, most of the libraries have either formed libraries consortia or joined some e-journals consortia. In many foreign countries like USA, UK the e-journals services are very common. Now, many libraries...
Since its establishment six years ago as a leading research University in the Middle East, Khalifa University has transformed 90% of its library collection from print to electronic, with nearly 75% of its annual library budget going to pay for e-resources. Managing this transition from paper to a vast digital collection in such a short time has proven to be a challenging evolutionary experience. This...
