In this paper first some of the major European mobile payment systems are introduced and evaluated base on security, cost , convenes and functionality requirement criteria, then the results of past researches about the customer and merchant adoption of mobile payment systems (mp) are reviewed and barriers and drivers from both customer and merchant view are compared. Here by, this paper tries to find shortcomings in major mp systems and presents the major barriers and drivers to wide spread adoption of mobile payment from both customer and merchant point of view.","PeriodicalId":335795,"journal":{"name":"2008 11th International Conference on Computer and Information Technology","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114657948","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 presents a technique namely decision tree based routine generation (DRG) algorithm to create an academic routine. The concept of open credit course registration system (after completion of pre-requisite courses any student may choose any course in any semester) makes the research more challenging and complex to accomplish. This is an NP-hard problem and hence unsolvable to satisfy all students and teachers at the same time. A level of tolerance has to be added to make the evaluation efficient and effective to achieve the goal, a conflict free routine. OLAP representation helps to classify the courses along with the proposed algorithm to eliminate some constraints. Day-based pattern, minimum Manhattan distance between courses of same teacher, minimum conflicted course distribution has been stage-managed to classify the courses. To alleviate the algorithm, decision tree based models and sequential search methods are espoused with computational results.","PeriodicalId":335795,"journal":{"name":"2008 11th International Conference on Computer and Information Technology","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124054818","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 framework is equivalent to a mixed data-type hierarchical Bayes graphical model assumption with latent variables constrained to a low-dimensional parameter subspace. We show that within this framework exponential PCA and SPPCA are similar to the Bregman soft clustering technique with the addition of a linear constraint in the parameter space. We implement the resulting modifications to SP-PCA and Bregman soft clustering for mixed (continuous and/or discrete) data sets, and add a nonparametric estimation of the point-mass probabilities to exponential PCA. Finally, we compare the relative performances of the three algorithms in a clustering setting for mixed data sets.","PeriodicalId":335795,"journal":{"name":"2008 11th International Conference on Computer and Information Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130013359","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 simulation study is made with the development of a computer program written in Matlab source code on the processing of recorded audio signal under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. The simulation results of estimated Bit error rate (BER) show that the implementation of concatenated RS(255,239,8) code with frac34-rated Convolutional code under QPSK modulation technique is highly effective to combat inherent interference in the communication system. Due to constraint in data handling capability of the Matlab editor, a segment of the recorded audio signal is used for analysis. The transmitted audio message is found to have retrieved effectively under noisy situation.","PeriodicalId":335795,"journal":{"name":"2008 11th International Conference on Computer and Information Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130117505","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 this paper to control urban traffic, we study the optimization of traffic light controller in a city and present a fuzzy algorithm based on cellular automata. In existent system factors like priority of streets of intersection and width/length of streets are assumed equal. However, in real situations parameters like time during the day, density of vehicles of street and number of shopping centers have determinant effects on amount of traffic of streets. To overcome such limitations we propose a three leveled fuzzy system. At first level priority of street is computed based on fuzzy rules. At second level real velocity of vehicles is calculated. We use CA for simulating vehicles' density transmission. At third level by regarding priority of street and amount of density, decision for changing status of traffic light is done.","PeriodicalId":335795,"journal":{"name":"2008 11th International Conference on Computer and Information Technology","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128888979","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}

We designed four different architectures and used dynamic radio mapping of indoor and outdoor locations.
