User's preferences are ratings expressed qualitatively by using linguistic terms. This is a suitable technique when preferences are imprecise and vague. Due to the fact that the overall item rating may hide the users' preferences heterogeneity and mislead the system when predicting the items (products / services) that users are interested in, we also choose to incorporate multi-criteria ratings, which is a promising technique to improve the recommender systems accuracy. User's items ratings are represented through a preference graph which highlight better items relationships. Similarity between users is performed on the basis of the similarity of their preference relations instead of their absolute ratings, since preference relations can better reflect similar users' ratings patterns. Our approach enhances somehow the classical recommender system precision because the graphs used for prediction are more informative and reflect user's initial ratings relations.","PeriodicalId":222438,"journal":{"name":"2013 11th International Symposium on Programming and Systems (ISPS)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116434119","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}

Consequently, thinking about another representation of the generated rules becomes vital task. For this, the present paper explores meta-rules discovery. It focuses on clustering association rules for large data sets. This allows the user better organizing and interpreting the rules. The main idea is to develop a clustering algorithm for the whole rules extracted by the association rule mining process (ARM). As a result, a set of meta-rules that the user or the data analyst can interpret are obtained, which permits to take a wise decision in a given domain. The issue for addressing such problem is to find an approach to perform clustering of association rules, which is a challenging problem not dealt with thus far. An adaptation of the k-means algorithm for association rules is proposed, by using new designed similarity measures and specific centroid computation. The clustering approach has been tested on a large data set obtained by merging three different public benchmarks. The result is promising. The proposed clustering generates three clusters, each includes one of the three benchmarks with a success rate varying from 70% to 90%.","PeriodicalId":222438,"journal":{"name":"2013 11th International Symposium on Programming and Systems (ISPS)","volume":"15 14","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132580607","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 MAC layer plays a crucial role in these networks; it controls the communication module and manages the medium sharing. In this work, we describe the Real Time Hybrid MAC (RTH-MAC) protocol for WSNs. It combines the advantages of both TDMA and FDMA in order to offer a soft real time communication to a converge-cast WSN randomly deployed. It schedules nodes communication in a central manner that eliminates collisions, minimizes interferences, and ensures a small bounded end-to-end delay. Moreover, this protocol offers a probabilistic end-to-end reliability guarantee using an acknowledgment mechanism, and offers to the end user the possibility of adapting the duty cycling ratio. Simulation results show that RTH-MAC presents good performances in term of the end-to-end delay, reliability and scalability.","PeriodicalId":222438,"journal":{"name":"2013 11th International Symposium on Programming and Systems (ISPS)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114075033","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 study focuses on embedded systems executing the Linux Operating System (OS), equipped with bare flash chips (e.g, smartphones, tablets, routers, etc). Bare flash chips are fully managed by the Linux OS through some specific flash file systems. Indeed, embedded Linux became the de facto OS for many embedded systems, and predicting the performance and energy consumption of I/O operations is critical for many application domains such as multimedia and embedded databases. The presented model is designed at the driver level, and each elementary NAND flash key-operation is modeled. As a case study, the methodology presented was applied and validated on a test hardware / software platform. The modeling methodology relies on a generic and reusable parameter extraction process and tools. Their purpose is to characterize flash power consumption and performance in order to specialize the model for various platforms. This work is a first step toward modeling the performance and the power consumption for all the embedded Linux I/O storage hierarchy: from the applicative layer and down to the storage media.","PeriodicalId":222438,"journal":{"name":"2013 11th International Symposium on Programming and Systems (ISPS)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131628234","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}

However, the current standard allows only a single authoring of triple-stores and does not provide transparent mechanism to support collaborative authoring. Furthermore, maintaining consistency between distributed triple-stores executing concurrent operations is a difficult problem. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a novel p2pCoSU solution that supports collaborative authoring for P2P semantic triple-stores and ensures causality, consistency and intention preservation criteria.

Nowadays, all existing Formal Concept Analysis-based Information Retrieval approaches address exclusively unstructured documents. They rely on the use of dyadic formal contexts (i.e. binary Documents × Terms relations). In this paper an original approach which consists of enlarging FCA-based IR paradigm to structured documents is proposed. Our approach stands from the idea of modeling structured documents by means of triadic formal contexts (i.e. ternary Documents × Terms × Structure relation). This allows to retrieve sub-units or fragments of structured documents. In structured information retrieval, queries may be of different types. This paper deals with content-only queries and gives a theoretical framework for both conjunctive as well as disjunctive forms.","PeriodicalId":222438,"journal":{"name":"2013 11th International Symposium on Programming and Systems (ISPS)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125307388","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}
