We investigate this Cayley graph model for optimization of fusion by rank combination. We outline a method of data fusion by combination of weighted rankings. Information systems are represented as nodes in a Cayley graph. Our goal is to determine a metric of diversity and performance in this graph in order to build a model for optimizing fusion by rank combination. We use the Kendall distance between nodes in the Cayley graph of the symmetric group S/sub n/ as a measure of performance. In doing so we demonstrate that in S/sub 6/ there is a quadratic relationship between the weights of the fusion of two information systems and the performance of the fusion in our abstract space. From such a relationship we propose a set of functions for extrapolating optimal fusion weights in the symmetric group S/sub n/.","PeriodicalId":198404,"journal":{"name":"7th International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and Networks, 2004.

In this paper, using the concepts of fuzzy sets and possibility theory, a FTS relational model is developed to extend the TS-relational model by Ee Peng Lilm et al. (1999). The extended model integrates local fuzzy databases by merging the respective export fuzzy databases to generate a set of FTS relations of fuzzy multidatabase. A set of algebraic operations is defined to manipulate the FTS relations and their correctness is established. A set of algebraic rules is also presented to optimize FTS algebraic expressions.","PeriodicalId":198404,"journal":{"name":"7th International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and Networks, 2004.

The simplest way to do broadcasting is pure flooding, in which each node retransmits a packet after receiving it, thus generates many redundant retransmissions. The rule based on dominating sets can reduce the number of retransmissions. A dominating set is a set of nodes such that any node in the network is a neighbor of some element in the set. However, computing a minimum size connected dominating set is NP hard. Several existing algorithms use the idea of multipoint relays to reduce the size of the connected dominating set. The authors of this paper observed that these algorithms can be further improved. Thus, three improvements are introduced here. It is proved that these improvements can compute a connected dominating set of the network, and simulation results show that they can further reduce the size of the dominating set. Also, extensions to power-aware broadcasting algorithms are discussed.","PeriodicalId":198404,"journal":{"name":"7th International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and Networks, 2004.

The proposed network can be used in data networks as well as in distributed computing systems. The proposed network is a cyclic, deflection-routing based, and hierarchical network and is constructed recursively using the Manhattan-type topology as the basic building block. This network exhibits substantial improvement in performance over its building block two-dimensional network on characteristics such as throughput and fault tolerance and still preserves the ease of implementation. The simulation and analysis in this paper show that the proposed network performs comparably to the hypercube at a much lower cost, even a larger network is used. Unlike other switching networks that use a higher node degree to maintain a small network diameter as the networks grow, the proposed parallel architecture network takes advantage of the expandability in its basic building blocks. This feature of the parallel-plane network offers a low network diameter, while it maintains a fixed and small node degree.","PeriodicalId":198404,"journal":{"name":"7th International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and Networks, 2004.

Selecting a list of informative differential genes from these measurement data has been the central problem for microarray analysis. Many methods to identify informative genes have been proposed in the past. However, due to the complexity of biological systems, each proposed method seems to perform nicely in a particular data set or specific experiment. It remains a great challenge to come up with a selection method for a wider spectrum of experiments and a broader variety of data sets. In this paper, we take the approach of method combination using data fusion and rank-score graph which have been used successfully in other application domains such as information retrieval, pattern recognition and tracking, and molecular similarity search. Our method combination is efficient and flexible and can be extended to become a general learning system for microarray gene expression analysis.","PeriodicalId":198404,"journal":{"name":"7th International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and Networks, 2004.
