Many primitives have been formulated in this regard. These primitives find their applications hugely in the study of the similarity of different organisms. In this paper, we formulate a new primitive for genome rearrangement, the strip exchanges. An approximation algorithm for the strip exchanges problem with an approximation guarantee of 2.66 has been designed. We present this algorithm along with its mathematical analysis. We propose the design of an autonomous biological system which detects the similarity of different species by matching their genomes. We use the primitive strip exchanges to match two genomes in our system. A comparison of the other existing primitives with strip exchanges has been given. Various other pragmatic applications of such a system have also been touched upon.","PeriodicalId":288478,"journal":{"name":"Third International Conference on Autonomic and Autonomous Systems (ICAS'07)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114868351","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 total 3200 sample data were selected in the development of the ANN models. Signal analysis procedures from time-domain and frequency-domain as well as statistical procedures were used for feature extraction. By performing principal component analysis on the input data set, more than 98% reduction in the dimension of the feature vector was achieved. Altogether 40 features were selected as input vector to ANN models. In order to find optimal configuration, several architectures, each having different number of neurons in the hidden layer, were designed and evaluated. The ANN models were trained using the gradient descent with momentum learning rule. Optimal configuration had a 40-12-4 structure, i.e., a network having one hidden layer with 12 neurons. This selection was based on the minimization of mean square error (MSE) and correct separation rates (CSR). The estimated MSE and CSR were 0.018 and 97.5%, respectively. I.e., only 2.5 % of pistachio nuts were misclassified.","PeriodicalId":288478,"journal":{"name":"Third International Conference on Autonomic and Autonomous Systems (ICAS'07)","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124848242","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}

One of the important requirements of predictability is that requests (tasks) should have maximum acceptable response time thresholds, which we denote as deadlines in this paper. In order to provide QoS, a WSB-P should try to guarantee these deadlines. Such policy affects the way the system should be designed, because all task durations must be under the deadline, and also how tasks are distributed among the servers. This way, it is desirable to use a load balancing algorithm that tries to both maximize the throughput and minimize the missed deadlines. This paper shows, with the help of a simulator, how the number of concurrent executions (CE) in the WSB-P plays a crucial role in the pursuit of the objective and how the optimal CE can be determined.","PeriodicalId":288478,"journal":{"name":"Third International Conference on Autonomic and Autonomous Systems (ICAS'07)","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133336592","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}
