The computational features of this problem make it an important research subject in computational geometry. Assuming some points in the Euclidean plane, we can construct a minimum spanning tree connecting these (terminal) nodes. It is possible to add some extra points (Steiner Points) in order to decrease the length of this tree which would in turn lead to Euclidean Steiner minimal tree (ESMT). This problem is considered as a NP-hard problem, as it may contain some nodes that are not in the set of given nodes. Assuming a simple polygon P with m vertices and n terminals in it, we try to find a Euclidean Steiner minimal tree connecting all these n terminals in P. In this paper we propose solutions for any number of terminals in a simple polygon. Proposed algorithms can also solve the problem in a simple polygon with some obstacles inside. These algorithms are simple to implement and lead to good results.","PeriodicalId":386960,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Computational Science and its Applications (ICCSA 2007)","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131527267","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 irrigation system, measuring and monitoring soil moisture from the soil information and climatologic factors would determine the amount of water for sufficient soil moisture. Mamdani-style and Sugeno-style inference methods have been tested and evaluated using this information. These methods were tested on normal subsets. Fuzzy rules were determined based on three inputs namely; Bermuda Turf grass coefficient, evapotranspiration (FT) rate, and tensiometer data. The result illustrated that the most convincing fuzzy inference method applied was the Mamdani-style compared to Sugeno-style. It was shown that the controller used less water in turf grass irrigation. Overall, both of the tested methods give significant result to the recognition of soil moisture level.","PeriodicalId":386960,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Computational Science and its Applications (ICCSA 2007)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132351756","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 merge tree is combined with a custom visibility function to generate a mesh refinement known as a silhouette level-of-detail (SLOD). The SLOD retains all original mesh detail in the region of the silhouette and coarsely approximates the mesh elsewhere. Using a SLOD accelerates the creation of shadow volumes in two ways. Firstly, a SLOD contains fewer edges than the original mesh, reducing the time required to find correct silhouette edges. Secondly, a shadow volume produced from a SLOD contains less geometry than a shadow volume produced from the original mesh, hence it may be rendered more quickly.","PeriodicalId":386960,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Computational Science and its Applications (ICCSA 2007)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129749989","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}

QA systems employing combination of SCB and resolution theorem proving have been used to provide both satisfying and hypothetical answers. Satisfying answers are associated with ground term corresponding with questions whose logical form contains variables. Hypothetical answer is an answer which comes from the story or plot of text, and required logical thinking because it is not explicitly stated in the knowledge domain. In this case, the answer can be considered as a set of logical formula called skolemize clauses defining sufficient conditions characteristic the tuples of individuals which satisfying the query.","PeriodicalId":386960,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Computational Science and its Applications (ICCSA 2007)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127369706","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}

Subtree partitioning schemes do not evenly distribute workload among metadata server cluster, and a number of metadata need to be migrated to achieve coarse load balancing. Though current hashing schemes evenly distribute workload among metadata server cluster, they eliminate the storage locality of files metadata in the same directory. They also can not effectively deal with some operations such as renaming a directory or accessing a file in the path of a linked directory. A new approach called parent Directory Object Identifier and Filename Hashing (DOIDFH) metadata management is proposed, which could distribute evenly files metadata among metadata server cluster, as well as partially hold hierarchical locality. It solves effectively the existent problems of current hashing schemes and also takes advantages of them.","PeriodicalId":386960,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Computational Science and its Applications (ICCSA 2007)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115013284","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}

Due to its desirable features such as small size, lightweight, low power consumption, and low cost, MEMS-based storage will be widely used for mobile applications that require large volume of multimedia data. However, physical structures of MEMS-based storage are different from other storage devices such as hard disk especially in the way of data placement and head positioning. Hence, it is important to revise OS-level software management schemes for MEMS-based storage. In this paper, we present a new I/O scheduling algorithm for MEMS-based storage called G-MST that exploits two-dimensional structure of MEMS-based storage. The new algorithm aims at reducing total seek distance in the two dimensional MEMS structure and at the same time providing fast and uniform response times. Through simulation experiments, we show that the new I/O scheduling algorithm performs better than existing algorithms in terms of average response time and the variation of response times.","PeriodicalId":386960,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Computational Science and its Applications (ICCSA 2007)","volume":"245 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116152988","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}
