At the beginning of DW project, one of the most important tasks is to construct conceptual design of ETL processes. Several solutions have been proposed to support ETL designer in this task. Nevertheless few methods have accompanied these proposals. In this paper, we present a method for modeling and organizing ETL processes based on our experience in real world. The proposed approach takes four inputs and produces a conceptual model of ETL processes using a graphical notation of our framework KANTARA.","PeriodicalId":369113,"journal":{"name":"Second International Conference on the Innovative Computing Technology (INTECH 2012)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124394219","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}

Software architecture usually suffers from problems known as architectural bad smells, e.g. dependency cycles, duplicate design artifacts and so on. Architecture refactoring can be considered as the first step in the quest of maintaining system quality during evolution, and a process of eliminating architectural bad smells. In this respect, to improve quality and decrease complexity, software artifacts need to be restructured and refactored. The impact of refactoring on the architecture level can be very useful by leading to the architectural stability of the system, and can keep software architecture clean, easy to maintain and easy to evolve. In this paper, we introduce an approach for refactoring component based software architecture artifacts using graph transformations; we use a specific graph transformation tool called AGG (Attribute Graph Grammar) in order to get rid of architectural bad smells.","PeriodicalId":369113,"journal":{"name":"Second International Conference on the Innovative Computing Technology (INTECH 2012)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125342459","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 use the first type in the service discovery with an ontology based model supporting fuzzy context predicates and fuzzy reasoning, while the second type is used for the best-fitting service selection based on the linguistic quantifier “almost all”.

In general the process of characterization follows a construction of a detector/descriptor schema. The detection allows selecting some points of interest as primitives who capture important structural information about the image. These detected points are then described by characteristic vectors to form a representative signature of the image. We find many applications of these methods in systems of classification, indexing and search by content in the images databases. While most of detection methods offer descriptors related both to the detection phase and the destination application. For the FAST (Features from Accelerated Segment Test) method, it remains one of the fastest methods currently, and located many application in the tasks of instant characterization. However, the authors of this method offer only a detection approach, without explicitly giving the approach of description to let this part for future application methods. On the other hand, others methods based on graphs, bringing structural aspects over the statistical methods of characterization. In this paper, we propose a method of characterization of the image by the graph that uses points of interest detected by the FAST algorithm to construct the structure of graphs of characterization. Thus the image similarity transforms into a problem of graphs matching. We then describe the advantage offered by this method over conventional characterization approaches.","PeriodicalId":369113,"journal":{"name":"Second International Conference on the Innovative Computing Technology (INTECH 2012)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123497263","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 main part of this paper is devoted to exploit the exceptional quality of DTT combined with Bivariate Shrinkage with Local Variance Estimation at the extracted step of the watermark in the medical images. The experimental results showed much improved performance of the proposed technique for DT-CWT in comparison with DWT. The system is transparent to the user and allows image integrity control, in addition, it provide information on the location of potential alterations and evaluation of image modifications which is of major importance in medico-legal frame work.

Scheduling of Node B (base station) buffered user data for transmission over a shared radio channel is a key HSDPA functionality which enables queue management techniques to be utilized to improve Quality of Service (QoS) for mixed `multimedia' services. In this paper, we study a control access scheme of multimedia stream in HSDPA channel. The control scheme consists in putting thresholds in the channel in order to well manage the access of the various packets by giving priority of access to the packets at real time. The RT arrival is modeled by a Poisson process and the NRT arrival by a Markovian Arrival Process (MAP) with two states. We use stochastic reward Nets (SRN) approach to derive QoS metrics of this control. Obtained results show the impact of workload aspects (e.g., arrival rate and service rate) and system capacity on two performance measures: mean response delay and job blocking probability.","PeriodicalId":369113,"journal":{"name":"Second International Conference on the Innovative Computing Technology (INTECH 2012)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130262815","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}
