It aimed to balance the number of members in each cluster in order to reduce intra-cluster congestion as well as the number of congested cluster-heads and provide efficient multimedia data.

It focuses on the efficient execution of loop nests in order to generate high-performance codes running on modern architectures by increasing the amount of data reuse as well as data locality. Thus, by reordering loop iterations, accesses to the close data become within a relatively short timeframe. Our present work involves a thorough study on the major known tiling techniques. It permits first to uncover several tiling features, e.g. the shape which depends on the target program dependencies, the size where we distinguish between static and parametrized tiling, and the area which aims at tiling for parallelism and/or cache optimization. Then, we present the most recent code generators using the tiling technique in order to highlight the interest of loop tiling transformation for automatic parallelization in general and code generation in particular.","PeriodicalId":197301,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE/ACS 14th International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications (AICCSA)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133023060","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}

Next, we have proposed a novel encoding method based on extracting statistical descriptors from local region of the dorsal hand vein to create a code of 512 bytes. Finally, we have calculated the modified Hamming distance between templates to find out the similarity between two dorsal hand vein filtered images. The method evaluation is completed on GPDSvenasCCD\" database and experimental results are compared with other methods. The experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of this coding in verification mode of biometric palm vein: 0.10% of equal error rate.

Most of these tools are based on qualitative and numerical methods. However, they are not always evident and there is an increasing need to provide an additional semantic layer. Semantic technologies, especially ontologies, are one of the tools frequently used for this purpose. In fact, they are indispensable for understanding the semantic knowledge about the functioning of cells on a molecular level. We describe here the biomolecular network ontology (BNO) created specially to address the needs of analysing the complex biomolecular network's behaviour. The BNO ontology is freely available at https://github.com/AliAyadi/The-BiomolecularNetwork-Ontology and can be viewed using the standard ontology visualization editor Protégé. This ontology provides qualitative simulation of large and complex biomolecular networks. Therefore, in order to evaluate the efficacy of the BNO ontology we present two kinds of reasoning mechanisms. The first consists on an SWRL rule based reasoning developed using the SWRL rules editor tab, and another consists on an implementation of a rule-based system under the MATLAB/SIMULINK development environment and can be freely downloaded at https://github.com/AliAyadi/QualitativeReasoningInMATLAB.

Actually, virtual world platforms are only equipped with classical password-based authentication mechanism. The implementation of new a logical access control procedure in publicly accessible virtual worlds is closely dependent on the characteristics of the virtual world platform. In this study, we put forward a methodology to design a virtual world platform for the implementation of a biometrical access control mechanisms. For virtual world building, we use as software a set of 3D tools and the Unreal Engine, which is a complete suite of 3D game and space development tools.

This is can negatively affect on hyperspectral reduction and classification process. In this paper, to resolve the problem, we adopted a variant of LPP termed modified LPP (MLPP) instead of original LPP. MLPP adopts an adaptive strategy to create the adjacency graph in which the number of neighbors for each data point can be chosen adaptively. The proposed feature extraction technique uses the Schroedinger operator in the MLPP framework. Indian Pines scene was used for this study. The classification results show effective classification accuracies according to the SEP and other dimensionality reduction methods.","PeriodicalId":197301,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE/ACS 14th International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications (AICCSA)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115072634","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}
