Object-oriented Framework for Requirement Specification
Object-oriented (OO) approach has been used in the whole life-cycle of software development. Several methods have been proposed for the requirement specification of an application system. However the emphasis ...

Derivatives in scale space
Various derivatives (1st to 4th order) describe different signal characters in scale space: the first derivative represents signal variation which can be used for coding; the second derivative characterizes th...

Quality-of-Service Routing for Traffic with Performance Guarantees
Quality-of-Service (QoS) routing tries to select a path that satisfies a set of QoS constraints, while also achieving overall network resource efficiency. We present initial results on QoS path selection for t...

Using semantics in matching cursive Chinese handwritten annotations
We propose a semantic matching network for the matching of cursive Chinese handwritten annotations. This architecture combines the semantics of Chinese language with the traditional elastic ink matching. Using...

Enhanced Production Flow Schema for Modeling the Complex Resource Sharing System
The authors propose in this paper a novel graphical representation “PFS-R” for complex resource sharing discrete production systems. The PFS-R is an augmented version of PFS (Production Flow Schema, previously...

From the data mine to the knowledge mill: Applying the principles of lexical analysis to the data mining and knowledge discovery process
This paper argues that the traditional approach to datamining is dominated by quantitative tools which assume knowledge to be inherent in the data: the data miners task simply being to find it. We propose, how...

Motion recovery from image sequences: Discrete viewpoint vs. differential viewpoint
The aim of this paper is to explore intrinsic geometric methods of recovering the three dimensional motion of a moving camera from a sequence of images. Generic similarities between the discrete approach and t...

Studies of Radical Model for Retrieval of Cursive Chinese Handwritten Annotations
Our research focuses on Chinese online ink matching that tries to match handwritten annotations with handwritten queries without attempting to recognize them. Previously, we proposed a semantic matching scheme...

Improving an Association Rule Based Classifier
Existing classification algorithms in machine learning mainly use heuristic search to find a subset of regularities in data for classification. In the past few years, extensive research was done in the databas...

Kruppa Equation Revisited: Its Renormalization and Degeneracy
In this paper, we study general questions about the solvability of the Kruppa equations and show that, in several special cases, the Kruppa equations can be renormalized and become linear. In particular, for case...

Software as Learning: Quality Factors and Life-Cycle Revised
In this paper Software Development (SD) is understood explicitly as a learning process, which relies much more on induction than deduction, with the main goal of being predictive to requirements evolution. Con...
