The problem of web services is how to develop mechanisms to locate automatically the correct Web service in order to meet the user's requirements, that is appointed by the discovery of web services. Indeed, it is beyond the human's capability to manually analyse web services functionalities. This paper proposes an architectural model to assist the user by taking into account its constantly changing context. This model selects services based on the query semantics, which consist of preferences and context. These preferences may be digital, for example the price of a ticket when booking a flight or QoS desired.","PeriodicalId":137864,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Information Technology and e-Services","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114206071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Raising the abstraction level is nowadays widely seen as a solution to bridge the gap between the increasing system complexity and the low design productivity. For this, several system-level design tools and methodologies have been introduced to efficiently explore the design space of heterogeneous signal processing systems. In this paper, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the SystemC methodology for efficient system modeling and rapid performance evaluation at high abstraction level of an increasing complexity embedded media system. For this purpose, we have selected a system level design of a very high complexity media application; a H.264/AVC (Advanced Video Codec) video encoder.","PeriodicalId":137864,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Information Technology and e-Services","volume":"419 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120897338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The considered hybrid systems exhibit both continuous and discrete behaviors without an emphasis of a particular behavior. To diagnose such systems, we rely on bond graph and Petri net modeling. Then, the proposed diagnosis approach deals with the particularity of each system's variables: diagnosing continuous variables using an evaluation of Analytical Redundancy Relations (ARR) and diagnosing discrete ones using a combination of coverability and invariant (T-invariant and P-invariant) notions. The evaluation of residuals (ARR) is based on the combination of adaptive thresholding and fuzzy logic reasoning optimized by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The results of the diagnosis module are finally displayed as a colored causal graph indicating the status of each system variable.","PeriodicalId":137864,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Information Technology and e-Services","volume":"71 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116378921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given its importance, some thought to use simulation as soon as possible during the design process in order to minimize design costs and eliminate unfit designs as early as possible. This paradigm is called \"Simulation Based Design\" or SBD.

The region of interest (i.e. mouth and eyes) will be determined, from which, features will be extracted. Finally based on the features extracted, the face will be classified into one of three different classes using the K-means method.

The textural analysis can contribute and bring an invaluable help to the discrimination and the analysis of the theme built starting from the satellite image; while utilizing approaches which highlight the structure and the texture of built space. This is why the analysis of the urban areas which we study here is founded on an analysis of the texture of the image.
