To address this problem, we have proposed a method of automatically generating Web based installation manuals for open-source software by editing the log information recorded during the installation process by a skilled user. A lot of systems using open-source software require changes of configuration files. Actually, middleware systems such as application servers and database management systems, often exhibit the low performance under their default configuration files. Thus, the optimization of such systems by setting the optimal confirmation is essential for significant performance improvements. In this paper, we propose the extension of our previous method to the automatic generation of Web-based configuration manuals. We verify the effectiveness of our proposal through experiments.","PeriodicalId":203206,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems","volume":"78 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":"127274215","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}

This difficulty causes a reduction in personal efficiency and generates heavy frustration as things to do tend to come to mind with no relation to the user current environment, thus further increasing the stress level of the subjects. We claim that the provision to subjects of timely information about the activities that could be efficiently performed in their current environment could reduce this phenomenon and thus increase personal efficiency and remove the related sense of frustration. In this paper we describe the prototype of a system capable of gathering user needs from verbal commands, translate those needs into queries to a GIS, build a map of locations of interest for the user expressed needs and provide timely prompts as soon as the user current environment guarantees the possibility to efficiently perform an action that satisfies one of the identified needs.","PeriodicalId":203206,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems","volume":"15 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":"131407927","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}

Research efforts have been done in particular to the use of heuristic and meta-heuristic approaches in the design of efficient Grid schedulers. In this paper we present a comprehensive study on the performance of different population-based heuristic methods, namely Genetic Algorithms, Memetic Algorithms and Cellular Memetic Algorithms for the problem. The aim is to shed light on the advantages and limitations of different population based methods as well as their hybridization with local search methods, such as Tabu Search, when solving the multi-objective version of the problem under execution time restrictions of Grid schedulers. We considered a set of scenarios that represent a high variation regarding the size of entries and static/dynamic features aiming to judge on the robustness with regard to the quality of the solutions obtained by the considered methods. These scenarios are divided into static, which provides a single set of tasks and resources for each entry, and dynamic, using a grid simulator used to observe the behavior of heuristics in Grid environments in real time.","PeriodicalId":203206,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems","volume":"33 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":"126854715","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 framework aims to aggregate collective expert preferences, including of group expert psychology and sensibility, assists a dynamic trading support system and achieve the greatest investment returns. Kansei evaluation uses to quantify trader sensibilities about trading decisions, market conditions with uncertain risks. Collective group psychology and preference of traders are quantified that represent in membership weights. The framework is used to quantify Kansei, quantitative and qualitative data sets, which are visualized by Self-Organizing Map (SOM) in order to select the best alternatives with dynamic solutions for investment. To confirm the model's performance, the proposed approach has been tested and performed well in stock trading for stock investment portfolios. The experiments through case studies show that the new approach, applying Kansei evaluation enhances the capability of investment returns and reduce losses to deal with various financial investment models.","PeriodicalId":203206,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems","volume":"100 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":"131493559","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}

In this paper, we consider the P2P model as a fully distributed, scalable system different from centralized coordination systems in Cloud and Grid systems. A P2P system is composed of peer processes (peers). Here, applications are realized by activities and cooperations among multiple peers. In P2P systems, since there is no centralized coordination, each peer has to obtain information about others by itself. In the group activities, each group member has to be trustworthy so that malicious action of an individual peer cannot effect overall outcome of the whole group. It is important to consider the trustworthiness of each group member as a base of an agreement procedure in the distributed environment. The goal of the group and the way to archive the goal are decided by the group members. During the agreement procedure, opinion of each group member has to be considered. Malicious and unexpected behaviors of member peers can negatively effect the output of a group. Hence, it is significant to discuss how to compose a group only by including more trustworthy peers. In this paper, by taking advantage of the trustworthiness concept of each peer, we propose a novel approach to composing a trustworthy group in the distributed agreement protocols.","PeriodicalId":203206,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems","volume":"3 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":"134211778","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}
