Gaining confidence for cloud technology adoption as well as selecting a suitable cloud service provider, both require a proper evaluation of cloud service trust characteristics. Hence, the evaluation of cloud services before used by the customer is of utmost importance. In this article, we adapt the extracted trust characteristics from both system and software quality standards and cloud computing standards, for evaluating cloud services. Moreover, we derive measures for each trust characteristics to evaluate the trustworthiness of different cloud service providers, and generalize these trust measures for any type of cloud services (e.g. Software as a Service, Platform as a Service, and Infrastructure as a Service). Our work thereby demonstrates a way to apply generalized trust measures for cloud services and therefore contributes to a better understanding of cloud services to evaluate their quality characteristics. As part of our ongoing research, the results of this study will be used to develop a comprehensive cloud trust model.","PeriodicalId":14676,"journal":{"name":"J. Chem. Inf. Comput.

A major tradeoff is to acquire tools able to produce a convenient portfolio project prioritization process, on which business investments are decided. However, by using existing Project Portfolio Management Systems (PPMS), many concurrent projects in a portfolio are usually prioritized and planned in the upstream life-cycle phases according to financial criteria, and overlooking the portfolio alignment to enterprise strategies and the availability of resources, although their importance. In this paper, we propose a conceptual formalization of PPMS with respect to a double portfolio prioritization process that performs two levels of selections according to both: i.) Strategy alignment, including returns on investment, size, and total cost; and ii.) Execution capability, as the organization should be able to manage and deliver the selected projects' outcomes. The advantage of our PPMS framework is twofold. First, it is useful to be customized by designers to fit organization needs. Second it is built with respect to the double prioritization phase process, as an end-to-end process that guarantees optimal portfolios generation. Further, the proposed PPMS system and its identified functionalities are validated through an implementation of a prototype tool.","PeriodicalId":14676,"journal":{"name":"J. Chem. Inf. Comput.

The main available methodology to examine the breast cancer is the Mammography. It detects the signs of breast cancer as different signs supports the experts’ decision. Actually, the Mammography is based on human perception and observations. So, build an AI computerized system will take major role in early signs detection. This paper presents an image processing with aid of artificial neural networks computations for computerized signs detection and exploration of breast cancer. The input material is the mammogram images, and the output helps the pathologists to take a decision. A set of input mammogram images was used for development, testing, and evaluation. The mammographic image will be preprocessed and then the features will be extracted using discrete wavelet transformation with aid of Weiner filtration. A historical data of extracted features were used to train a neural network, while the historical extracted features contains both Cancer and non-Cancer images. The combination of neural network machine learning, and rigid image processing techniques resulted accurate outputs. The methodology and results are showed and discussed later in this paper.","PeriodicalId":14676,"journal":{"name":"J. Chem. Inf. Comput.

In fact, Software Product Lines systems are used for massive productions, and are based on systematic reuse of commun components, while offering the ability to add specific development, in order to satisfy particular users or market needs. However, to maintain such complex and large-scale systems, it is mandatory to adopt a suitable tracing policy that satisfies the system constraints, especially cost and complexity. Unfortunately, tracing is rearly applied in Software Product Lines as it presents several constraints, especially its cost. Through our research work, we tried to come up with elements that would help break this prejudice. Therefore, we worked on a cost and Return on Investment estimation model that helps identify the optimal conditions (phase and policy) for implementing a tracing solution. As a result of our work, we found that implementing specific trace links, in a targeted approach that meets business goals, and starting from the Domain Engineering phase, costs less and presents the most interesting Return on Investment. To conduct this study and reach those findings, we followed the Design Science Research Methodology. In this article, we detail the steps of our research according to this methodology’s phases.","PeriodicalId":14676,"journal":{"name":"J. Chem. Inf. Comput.

This has increased the rate of drop-outs, graduands with weak class of degree (CoD) and students that spend more than the minimum stipulated duration of studies. It is necessary to determine students’ AP using educational data mining (EDM) tools in order to know students who are likely to perform poorly at an early stage of their studies. This paper explores k-means and self-organizing map (SOM) in mining pieces of knowledge relating to the natural number of clusters in students’ dataset and the association of the input features using selected demographic, pre-admission and first year performance. Matlab 2015a was the programming environment and the dataset consists of nine sets of computer science graduands. Cluster validity assessment with k-means discovered four (4) clusters with correlation metric yielding the highest mean silhouette value of 0.5912. SOM provided an hexagonal grid visual of feature component planes and scatter plots of each significant input attribute. The result shows that the significant attributes were highly correlated with each other except entry mode (EM), indicating that the impact of EM on CoD varies with students irrespective of mode of admission. Also, four distinct clusters were also discovered in the dataset by SOM —7.7% belonging to cluster 1 (first class), and 25% for cluster 2 (2nd class Upper) while Clusters 3 and 4 had 35% proportion each. This validates the results of k-means and further confirms the importance of early detection of students’ AP and confirms the effectiveness of SOM as a cluster validity tool. As further work, the labels from SOM will be associated with records in the dataset for association rule mining, supervised learning and prediction of students’ AP.","PeriodicalId":14676,"journal":{"name":"J.

Incidentally, driven by the desire to gain profit or publicity, spammers may be hired to write fake reviews and promote or demote the reputation of products or services. Correspondingly, opinion spam detection has attracted attention from both business and research communities in recent years. However, unlike other tasks such as news classification or blog classification, the existing review spam datasets are typically limited due to the expensiveness of human annotation, which may further affect detection performance even if excellent classifiers have been developed. We propose a novel approach in this paper to boost opinion spam detection performance by fully utilizing the existing labelled small-size dataset. We first design an annotation extension scheme that uses extra tree classifiers to train multiple estimators and then iteratively generate reliable labelled samples from unlabeled ones. Subsequently, we examine neural network scenarios on a newly extended dataset to learn the distributed representation. Experimental results suggest that the proposed approach has better generalization capability and improved performance than state-of-the-art methods.","PeriodicalId":14676,"journal":{"name":"J. Chem.
