They use a population of potential solutions which gradually evolve toward the best solution which satisfies an objective function. By their nature, Genetic Algorithms use random numbers. In a typical algorithm running, a random number generator is used in many occasions, like selection of the best individuals, choosing the parents for crossover and actually applying crossover, and in mutation. Relying on a standard algorithm for random numbers has the advantage of simplicity and easy implementation (for example in embedded applications), but the quality of the random numbers could influence the final results. In this paper we investigate the effect of the random number generator used by a genetic algorithm in finding the optimal solution for two test functions.","PeriodicalId":301458,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE INISTA","volume":"166 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116164761","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 introduction of defaults in the definition of concepts in previous researches has allowed to go beyond the strict limitations on their description and permitted consequently to fully define them; by providing both necessary and sufficient conditions for their representation. This allowed improving the classification process. Contrary to the use of strict knowledge that provides only necessary conditions leaving the concepts partially defined. The nonmonotonic language that allows using defaults in the definition of concepts is AL augmented with default and exception connectors that allow respectively representing default and exception properties in concepts definition. However we frequently need to add the temporal aspect to the nonmonotonic feature as it is the case in causal reasoning, planning process, and action theory. In our case, we will use it in the field of access control. Our aim in this paper is to extend this logic further with temporal connectives to grant the possibility to represent temporal properties of concepts and that by referring to temporal description logic.","PeriodicalId":301458,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE INISTA","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129644299","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}

Accuracy of estimation directly affects project success or failure. Managers try to estimate proper effort resources and this is a challenging issue for management. Having a set of tools and methodologies, estimation process can be made better. COCOMO is one of the most used model which has a parametric form. Also, artificial neural networks (ANN) are combined with COCOMO and these methods increased overall performance. However, effort estimation process generally produces one output; estimation value. It is a well-known issue that a project manager must keep in the mind that any estimation must have some upper and lower limits, boundaries. In this paper, a novel method, combining COCOMO used ANN with K-Means is used to estimate effort and possible boundaries. ANN output is used as input to K-Means sets and proper set value is calculated, including possible lower and upper effort estimation value. Experimental results are shown that proposed method has acceptable results over ANN and COCOMO.","PeriodicalId":301458,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE INISTA","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129690661","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 processing technique exploits equilibrium states of a kind of recurrent neural network - Echo state network (ESN) - that are obtained after intrinsic plasticity (IP) tuning of the ESN using multidimensional data as inputs. The proposed in our previous work automated procedure for multidimensional data clustering is further refined and tested on the satellite image data.
