In traditional testing methods, due to the complexity and high cost, full testing is impossible. The search-based approaches are emerging as a solution for the automatic generation of test data in software testing. In this paper, we employ a genetic algorithm based on the execution path to generate the test data. In the proposed method, instead of checking the desirability of a generation for all execution paths, we assigned an appropriate fitness function per each execution path. Thus, the fitness function for each path, identifies an appropriate generation with great precision and less time. Evaluation results show that the proposed method is able to increase the accuracy of the algorithms as well as reduce the generation steps and the process time.","PeriodicalId":274571,"journal":{"name":"2021 12th International Conference on Information and Knowledge Technology (IKT)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123099017","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}

Feature extraction is one of the main steps in handwritten recognition which has a significant impact on accuracy and speed of recognition. Low time complexity of feature extraction method and short feature vector length reduce the computational cost and memory consumption. In this paper, a new feature extraction method is presented for fast online Persian/Arabic character recognition. In this method, in order to recognize the character pattern, the character signal sequence is first segmented into several equal parts in terms of number of points. Then the angle between horizon line and transient line of first and last points of each segment is considered as local feature. The global features are the angles between horizon line and transient line of first point of the character and the end point of segments. This method has been tested on two standard datasets including numbers and characters of Persian/Arabic languages. The experimental results show that the proposed method, in addition to high recognition accuracy, has less computational complexity and shorter vector length compared to other new methods of feature extraction and handwriting recognition.","PeriodicalId":274571,"journal":{"name":"2021 12th International Conference on Information and Knowledge Technology (IKT)","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116585561","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}

Modeling the opponents is of great importance since it enables us to adjust our next decisions accordingly. This can bring us short-time compromises, ideal eventual utility, more satisfaction, and so on. In negotiating with Gaussian opponents, the estimation of the opponent's peak point is the core. In this regard, we have paid particular attention to how accurate the existing automated agents attended in Automated Negotiating Agents Competition (ANAC) during 2010–2019 can model Gaussian bidders and showed the result of the experiments.","PeriodicalId":274571,"journal":{"name":"2021 12th International Conference on Information and Knowledge Technology (IKT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129897324","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}

On top of the rich set of concepts that exists in IFML for modeling the user interface and behavior of software systems, we extend this standard to support concepts dedicated to form-making systems. As tool support, we have implemented our UML profile in Papyrus. The tool helps designers build a valid model with less effort.

Recently, a group of scientific paper recommendation algorithms has been proposed to solve this issue. But, they have two main shortcomings. First, they can only recommend papers to experienced researchers who have published some papers and not amateur ones. Second, they ignore some valuable sources of information in scientific article libraries. This paper presents a novel Integrated Scientific Paper RECommendation approach, called ISPREC, which integrates different pieces of information as a novel heterogeneous network structure, called SPIN. Thereafter, exploits a limited random-walk algorithm for a Top-N recommendation.

In this context, service function chaining (SFC) helps telecommunication operators to provide complex network services and improve their performance. This paper first addresses the service function chain deployment problem as an integer linear programming (ILP) problem under an impractical non-causal assumption about the network information for which we provide a solution in a centralized fashion. However, in real-life networks, distributed schemes are more scalable. Also, some parameters, such as the latency of the links, fluctuate over time because of the sharing nature of cloud datacenters, and their probabilistic distributions are unknown prior to deployment. Therefore, we re-formulate the NFV -based SFC deployment problem as a noisy weighted congestion game and rely only on the actually experienced delay samples on each of the links to configure SFCs in a near-optimal fashion. In particular, we propose a multi-agent learning based algorithm using which each agent decides its VNF -based service chain only based on its own history of adopted actions and realized costs. By changing the network configuration, simulation results show that our proposed algorithm is at most 18% worse than the optimal solution, and in some situations, it behaves exactly the same as optimal results.","PeriodicalId":274571,"journal":{"name":"2021 12th International Conference on Information and Knowledge Technology (IKT)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133410378","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}

It refers to the process of geometric alignment between two images based on correspondence. A crucial step in medical image registration process is to determine a similarity measure. There are various similarity measure techniques in this field that are applied in different registration applications. Selecting an effective similarity measure is a challenging problem, and this choice affects the accuracy of the registration results. According to past research, the similarity measures have extended from traditional to deep learning based methods. Our goal in this paper is to provide a literature review on various similarity measure techniques in medical image registration, classify them, and introduce main challenges. Thus Similarity measure techniques based on various registration approaches have been classified into two main classes and several subclasses namely distance based, correlation based, and information based in traditional methods; and statistical based, learning based, and similarity measure based loss function in learning based methods. Based on this classification, methods are introduced and each category is evaluated based on accuracy, speed, robustness, and complexity. Finally, recognizing and evaluating the different similarity criteria will help to select the appropriate similarity measure according to the intended application.","PeriodicalId":274571,"journal":{"name":"2021 12th International Conference on Information and Knowledge Technology (IKT)","volume":"85 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116414516","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}
