This paper presents a solution - cost and green aware workload migration algorithm (CGWM) that utilising the difference of electricity prices, CO2 emissions and water consumption between different geographical locations to manage the workload. CGWM attempts to reduce electricity costs, carbon emissions and water consumption. When the three optimisation goals conflict, CGWM first to ensure the reduction of electricity cost, and then by adjusting the weight factor to make CGWM more biased to optimise the carbon dioxide or water consumption. Simulation results show CGWM can reduce electricity costs while controlling carbon dioxide emissions and water consumption.","PeriodicalId":340536,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Inf. Technol.

In Flickr, many photos have very few or even no tags, because only the uploader can mark tags for a photo. Meanwhile, the user can deliver his/her comment on the photo, which he/she is browsing. Therefore, it is possible to recommend new tags or enrich the existing tag set based on user comments. The work of this paper contains two phases, i.e., the tag generation, and the ranking algorithm. In the phase of candidate tags generation, two methods are introduced relying on natural language processing (NLP) techniques, namely word-based and phrase-based. In ranking and recommending tags, we proposed an algorithm by jointly modelling the location information of candidate tags, statistical information of candidate tags and semantic similarity between candidate tags. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.","PeriodicalId":340536,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Inf. Technol.

In order to solve the puzzle of image distortion, being complex in algorithm and being difficult to take into account of the overall structure and details of the image in the image recognition algorithm of public security management system, the paper presented a fusion algorithm of texture consistency measure based on bi-orthogonal wavelet transform. By means of the orthogonal wavelet transform, the wavelet transform is used to decompose the source image, and then the low frequency and high frequency wavelet coefficient matrix of the fused image is determined according to a certain proportion and texture measure, thus the fusion image is obtained. The experimental results show that the algorithm can not only distinguish the false edges of the image, but also enrich the details of the image and take into account the overall visual image, so it can better improve the recognition effect of the image in the public security management system.","PeriodicalId":340536,"journal":{"name":"Int.

In the light of the above-mentioned discussion, an android application has been developed in the ongoing project for Android-based wireless devices named WiFi_Intercom. WiFi_Intercom uses classes which allow its user to connect with other connected users through WiFi wireless standard using point to point (P2P) or WLAN connection as a means of communication between Android-based wireless devices. The application will also allow the mobile user to search and call other connected users within the WiFi range through the application.

A good sampling method for social network should be able to generate small sample network with similar structures and distributions as its original network. In this paper, a sampling algorithm based on graph partition, sampling based on graph partition (SGP), is proposed to sample social networks. SGP firstly partitions the original network into several sub-networks, and then samples in each sub-network evenly. This procedure enables SGP to effectively maintain the topological similarity and community structure similarity between the sampled network and its original network. Finally, we evaluate SGP on several well-known datasets. The experimental results show that SGP method outperforms seven state-of-the-art methods.","PeriodicalId":340536,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

The framework enables to identify feeds that report the same issue, and hence to filter redundant information. Based on proved methods and algorithms, such framework has been implemented in a software application, called CITY FEED, which is used by the Municipality of Pavia.","PeriodicalId":340536,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Like most graph-based semi-supervised learning, the algorithm mainly focused on two key issues: the graph construction and the manifold regularisation framework. In the graph construction, these labelled and unlabelled data are represented as vertices encoding edges weights with the similarity of instances, which means that not only the local geometry information but also the class information are utilised. In manifold regularisation framework, the cost function contains two terms of smoothness constraint and fitting constraint, it is sufficiently smooth with respect to the intrinsic structure revealed by known labelled and unlabelled instances. Specifically, we design the algorithm that uses the normalised Laplacian eigenvectors, which ensure the cost function can converge to closed form expression and then, we provide the convergence proof. Experimental results on various datasets and entity relationship classification show that the proposed algorithm mostly outperforms the popular classification algorithm.","PeriodicalId":340536,"journal":{"name":"Int.

DI is calculated based on a diabetic clinical dataset and the SVM model is applied as well. Particularly, genetic feature is innovatively introduced as an important factor in view of the fact that people with family history are more vulnerable to diabetes. The framework is applied to implement a diabetes auxiliary evaluation system. After a set of comprehensive experiments, the assessment result is supposed to identify risk of the disease at an early stage, which contributes to a deeper understanding of one's own health conditions.","PeriodicalId":340536,"journal":{"name":"Int.

The essential idea behind the proposed approach is that the error of the current prediction is highly correlated with the previous prediction errors, and the forecasted speed should be compensated in terms of the errors incurred from previous predictions. Specifically, we first predict the historical data by the EMD-SVM model so as to obtain the corresponding prediction errors. Then, we establish the error compensation mechanism. Finally, we combine the EMD-SVM model with error compensation to obtain the final prediction results. The error compensation strategy is validated by a series of actual 10 min wind speed data collected from New Zealand. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed EMD-SVM model with error compensation can be successfully applied to short-term wind speed forecasting, and it has higher accuracy and stronger robustness compared with the method without error compensation.","PeriodicalId":340536,"journal":{"name":"Int.
