Most side-effects are caused by their toxicity and also their correlation with other diseases than target diseases. We present a novel measure that identifies disease-associated genes from the biomedical literature in terms of causing less side-effects. This enables the identification of specific disease-associated genes, the decreased expression of which would result in a lower probability of side-effects, thus contributing to efficient drug development. Our method evaluates the specificity of a gene to a particular disease based on the number of associated diseases with the gene. In addition, we consider transitive gene-disease associations, that is, indirect gene-disease associations via intermediate genes. Gene-disease associations are extracted from the PubMed abstracts based on term co-occurrences. Also, we discuss the ranking results for Alzheimer disease and various cancers to verify the effectiveness of our measure. Ranking results for other diseases are available at http://www.ps.noda.tus.ac.jp/ddss/.","PeriodicalId":203206,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124870273","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 goal of the whole system is to search for the best solution of the discrete optimization problem based on the results of the ant colonies run using different parameters. The proposed concept forms a base for further research on bringing different interactions known in ant-colony optimization to the inter-agent level. The considerations are illustrated with preliminary experimental results obtained for parallel ant system solving quadratic assignment problem.","PeriodicalId":203206,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems","volume":"215 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125916278","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}

Applications are classified into computation, communication, and storage based types. In the computation and communication based applications, CPU and communication resources of computers are mainly consumed, respectively. In the storage-based applications, the electric power is consumed to access to storage drives like hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid state drives (SSDs). In this paper, we measure how much electric power of a server computer is consumed to read and write data in types of storage drives. Then, we discuss a power consumption model of a computer to perform a storage-based applications based on the measurement of the power consumption of storage drives. Here, the power consumption rate of a server is maximum if at least one process is performed. Otherwise, the power consumption rate is minimum. This is a simple power consumption model.","PeriodicalId":203206,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128353779","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}

As one solution, the cooking process can be divided into two phases, where the preparation steps for foods that they will eat on the following weekdays are performed on a weekend, and the final steps for some foods are finished on the eating day in a short time. Then, the task of generating a menu planning with this two-phase cooking becomes a complex problem to satisfy the limited cooking time. In this paper, we formulate this time-constrained menu planning problem with the two-phase cooking, and prove the NP-completeness of its decision problem through the reduction from the NP-complete knapsack problem. Then, we present its heuristic algorithm based on a simple greedy method for the knapsack problem, where foods are sequentially selected into the menu in descending order of food priorities. We apply the algorithm to the generation of one week menu plan from 53 food candidates, where the result verifies the effectiveness of our approach.","PeriodicalId":203206,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124623273","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 hap tic mouse works like a normal optical mouse but attraction force is generated between the electromagnet and a ferromagnetic mouse pad. We introduce some examples using the hap tic mouse. For example, when the mouse cursor moves into the click able area, magnetic attraction generates strong friction, allowing the user to find the target easily. In another example, the system gives the user tactile feedback when the mouse cursor passes lines. This would be helpful to increase working efficiency for CAD work and could graphic designers who must perform abundant mouse control to select lines. If this system is integrated into computer games, it can provide the game user with various tactile experiences.","PeriodicalId":203206,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115944326","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}
