It is treated as a very challenging problem in marketing. In personalized marketing it is very important to optimize the customer satisfaction and targeting efficiency. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) method can be chosen as a suitable tool to overcome the multiple recommendation problems that occur when several personalized campaigns conducting simultaneously. Compared with original PSO we have modified the particle representation and velocity by a multi-dimensional matrix, which represents the customer-campaign assignment. A new operator known as REPAIRED is introduced to restrict the particle within the domain of solution space. The proposed operator helps the particle to fly into the better solution areas more quickly and discover the near optimal solution. We measure the effectiveness of the propose method with two other methods know as Random and Independent using randomly created customer-campaign preference matrix. Further a generalized Gaussian response suppression function is introduced and it differs among customer classes. An extensive simulation studies are carried out varying on the small to large scale of the customer-campaign assignment matrix and the percentage of recommendations. Simulation result shows a clear edge between PSO and other two methods.","PeriodicalId":309453,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Soft Computing as Transdisciplinary Science and Technology","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127080594","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 perception of the entire electronic data interchange paradigm has to take into account manual data entry of relevant information. Efficient data entry requires de facto standards to capture and structure data of end-users so they can be automatically processed by appropriate applications. The XML meta-language, which is a general-purpose specification for creating custom markup languages, highlights a step toward capturing structured data from graphical interfaces. In fact, XML provides Document Definition Types (DTD) to describe a class of documents in terms of constraints on their structures. However providing on-the-fly graphical forms to capture data based upon predefined DTDs raises a challenge in supporting advanced web-based applications. In this paper, we present a system that is able to automatically generate web forms or editors to capture data with respect to predefined DTDs. On the completion of the data entry the web--based form builds appropriate XML documents. The system receives a DTD as an input and relies on attributed grammars to associate semantic to its elements and produces on-the-fly an HTML-based editor.","PeriodicalId":309453,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Soft Computing as Transdisciplinary Science and Technology","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127525785","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}

Particle swarm optimization algorithm share some common characteristics with P2P in a dynamic social environment. Each particle encodes the upper half of the peer-connection matrix through the undirected graph, which reduces the search space dimension. The synergetic performance is achieved by the adjustment to the velocity influenced by the individual's cognition, the group cognition from multi-swarms, and the social cognition from the whole swarm. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated and compared with two other different algorithms. The results indicate that it usually required shorter time to obtain better results than the other considered methods, specially for large scale problems.","PeriodicalId":309453,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Soft Computing as Transdisciplinary Science and Technology","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122785923","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}

As these networks grow in size and complexity, their management becomes increasingly costly, for instance in terms of equipment, software, and people. One way to keep these costs under control is to automate some or all of the management aspects in the system, reducing or even removing the need for human interaction. In this paper, we focus on automatically managing Bluetooth networks for indoor localization, which we consider a specific class of ubiquitous computing systems because they usually rely on many Bluetooth devices scattered throughout a particular building. We will discuss algorithms that help reducing the number of active devices needed in a network, while maintaining a comparable localization accuracy compared to the \"full\" network. The algorithms enable the most \"valuable\" Bluetooth devices in the network and will disable the others. The main advantage is that this reduces the need for network planning, which reduces the costs of operating the system. Another advantage is that it reduces the amount of energy used by the network and the mobile devices being located. We evaluate the real-world performance of our algorithms through experiments carried out with a running system in a realistic environment. We found that our algorithms can reduce a network to approximately half the original size while still retaining an accuracy level comparable to the original \"full\" network.","PeriodicalId":309453,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Soft Computing as Transdisciplinary Science and Technology","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130584694","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}
