Aerosol can have directly effect to the radiation by scattering and absorption process depending on their chemical and physical properties. Uncertainties in estimation of radiative effect are cause by lack of knowledge for aerosol properties. AERONET Sun photometer had been used to measure the AOD, linear regressions to calculate Angstrom exponent and inversion algorithm to retrieve single scattering albedo and refractive index over Kuching, Sarawak from August 2011 until October 2011. The mean values of AOD for August was (0.4014±0.3126), for September was reported as (0.3158±0.1877) and (0.1689±0.0813) for October 2011. The minimum value for Angstrom is 0.3233 and the maximum value is 1.9325 which indicates a presence of fine mode aerosol and coarse mode aerosol. The averaged SSA for August at 440nm was 0.8997 and 0.7604 for 1020nm meanwhile for September SSA value was 0.9586 for 440nm and 0.9239 for 1020nm. It shows an increasing of urban pollution and biomass burning aerosol. The refractive index for real part and imaginary part measurement suggest that absorbing aerosols are more dominant in Kuching, Sarawak.","PeriodicalId":319770,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Conference on Open Systems","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114132910","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 creates an unmet demand for decision-support systems that help manage this complex process. This paper presents research-in-progress to develop an advanced decision-support system for predicting the optimal deployment of wireless sensor nodes within an area of interest.

Due to geographic position and climate change, Bangladesh is one of most vulnerable countries to natural disasters. The country also lacks effective disaster preparedness system to confront natural disasters. Timely disaster warning and evacuation guideline can save lives of the people. In addition, a tourist or a blind people may face difficulties in finding safe area or shelter place prior to the occurrence of natural disasters. For this reason, we have proposed a location based early disaster warning and evacuation system for both normal and blind people using OpenStreetMap (OSM). The system is implemented on android mobile phone because of the burgeoning growth of smart phones in Bangladesh. So, our system comprises a third-party server named Disaster Management Server (DMS), android device with our application installed on it and user. The local weather office updates the disaster (tsunami, cyclone or flood) data on DMS. Device user registers on Android Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM) server to get automatic notification of upcoming disaster otherwise user gets manual notification. The user communicates with DMS to have updated data sending the current position obtained by GPS or network provider. The probable disaster affected area is determined by ray casting algorithm. When our application recognizes the user in probable disaster zone then application will disseminate visual and audio disaster warning and evacuation guideline including shortest path of shelter or safe zone on the map of the application. Evacuation progress is also tracked using DMS and national identification of user. The experimental result demonstrates the effectiveness of our system.","PeriodicalId":319770,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Conference on Open Systems","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125963014","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 issue has been highlighted due to the difficulties faced by students in developing algorithms related to programming concept, program construction as well as understanding and applying programming control structures. To overcome the identified difficulties and improve teaching and learning of programming, a number of research works have proposed educational games to motivate and engage their novices. However, to our knowledge, past research had applied general scaffolding characteristics in their games, but none has adapted these characteristics in the context of educational games design. As a result, three scaffolded educational games design characteristics are adapted to be embedded into our games. As proof of concept, a number of puzzle-based educational games which focus on decision-making structures are redesigned and redeveloped for teaching and learning programming. To validate the design, an experiment is conducted to 30 CS novices, who are randomly assigned into control and experimental groups. The results showed the educational games design-scaffolding characteristics are perceivably effective in assisting CS novices in learning programming. Therefore, the findings suggest these scaffolding characteristics have successfully been embedded as an effective educational games design technique.","PeriodicalId":319770,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Conference on Open Systems","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131049636","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 paper proposes a novel approach to do so that is practical, easy to implement and can show a reasonable level of consistency. In addition, it takes in consideration the imprecise nature of requirements and quality attributes by modeling the latter as fuzzy variables. The problem of prioritizing requirements is formulated as a fuzzy multi-attribute decision problem in which the expected value operator is used to rank the alternatives listed in the problem formulation. This approach can be easily extended to include other quality attributes as well as customized to fit the needs of most software projects.","PeriodicalId":319770,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Conference on Open Systems","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123496766","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}

To this end, we are interested particularly in dynamic approaches for web service composition. In contrast to the static ones, a composition of services is called dynamic if participant services are selected and composed on the fly based on the needs formulated by the user and the availability of published services. We propose in this work, a flow-graph based system for service composition and composite service discovery to satisfy a functional need of a given query. The idea is to model all the possible connections between published services as Output-Input semantic matching. These established connections are stored in a graph called precedence graph in order to retrieve dynamically, all possible plans that could answer a given query.","PeriodicalId":319770,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Conference on Open Systems","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127404952","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}
