The purpose of this study is to investigate a fuzzy multiple criteria decision-making method for evaluating and selecting knowledge service vendor. In the paper, the multiple criteria should consider in the evaluation and selection process is presented. Then, a fuzzy MCDM approach based on fuzzy TOPSIS is proposed. The linguistic evaluation information given by the decision makers are transformed into the form of triangular fuzzy numbers. Based on the extended TOPSIS, the fuzzy positive-ideal solution (FPIS) and the fuzzy negative-ideal solution (FNIS) are determined. The relative closeness of each alternatives to the FPIS and FNIS is calculated to determine the ranking order of all alternatives. The evaluation results of the knowledge service providers can be obtained through the proposed fuzzy method and then the proper vendor can be selected. Additionally, an illustrating example is given to show the feasibility and practicability of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":160788,"journal":{"name":"2010 Third International Symposium on Knowledge Acquisition and Modeling","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126938118","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}

When these applications are deployed in on-line settings, many hurdles including stringent timing constraints must be overcome. Additionally, the number of channels feeding mathematical DSP routines is growing rapidly, easily reaching 1,000 to 100,000 channels. These applications have increasingly demanding performance requirements for generating control outputs which interact with real-world processes, where 1ms loop times are not uncommon. In this paper, we describe a graphical dataflow approach capable of yielding the necessary computational power and meeting aggressive timing constraints. We combine this methodology with strategies for targeting a combination of processors including CPUs, FPGAs, and GPUs deployed on standard PCs, workstations, and real-time systems. We demonstrate this approach through case studies on adaptive mirror control for an extremely large telescope and plasma measurement via soft X-ray tomography.","PeriodicalId":160788,"journal":{"name":"2010 Third International Symposium on Knowledge Acquisition and Modeling","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124150512","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}

Then calculate summation of all accumulated variance for current frame and using them for select best macroblock. Four macroblocks are used in each frame. By statistical calculation the best macroblock is selected then local motion vector(LMV) of selected macroblock, is estimated by using Full search algorithm.

Concave-convex recognition method is used to determine the waist corner and scapular endpoint on one side of ventral lines. The length of the line between two points is measured using improved chain code algorithm. The data of length distribution are recorded to draw time-position figure, and the fluctuation of the target curve approximately reflects the porcine breath in frame sequences. So the breath rate could be expressed as the frequency of the curve. Compared with manual observation, the relative error of the result in this paper is about 6.05% in detecting respiratory rate. Therefore, machine vision-based method is effective for detecting porcine breath.","PeriodicalId":160788,"journal":{"name":"2010 Third International Symposium on Knowledge Acquisition and Modeling","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116814591","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}

A simple hill-climbing is employed to keep the diversity of population and escape from local optima. A novel crowding-distance computation procedure is proposed in order that the solutions in the neighborhood of the solutions with smallest and largest function values or locating in a lesser crowded region will have higher probability to be preserved. The proposed algorithm is tested on several classical MOP benchmark functions.

It is much more valuable in peer-to-peer networks. The high dimensionality of documents means much more communication could be saved if each node could get the approximate clustering result by distributed algorithm instead of transferring them into a center and do the clustering. Most of the existing text clustering algorithms in unstructured peer-to-peer networks are based on K-means algorithm. A problem of those algorithms is that the clustering quality may decreased with the increase of the network size. In this paper, we propose a text clustering algorithm based on frequent term sets for peer-to-peer networks. It requires relatively lower communication volume while achieving a clustering result whose quality will not be affected by the size of the network. Moreover, it gives a term set describing each cluster, which makes it possible for people to have a clear comprehension for the clustering result, and facilitates the users to find resource in the network or manage the local documents in accordance with the whole network.","PeriodicalId":160788,"journal":{"name":"2010 Third International Symposium on Knowledge Acquisition and Modeling","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127473800","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}
