With common business components, each channel application can be produced by reusing and extending them. But the problem was variability management. Variability management is the most important in product line engineering. It is a basic and essential principle to identify common elements as components and to make them assets of product line. These days, business rule is getting more critical key for successful RTE (real time enterprise). It means separating rules can make easy change or fast adapt to new business context without modifying application. The elements of variability which change with each application are viewed as variability of business rules. Therefore, when there is need to change business requirements; this is resolved through rule changes. We applied rule concept to manage the variability in business components. We constructed business components, rule components for variability in business repository and produced channel application based on this repository and customizing the rule. With insurance product line, the productivity and quality for channel application was increase","PeriodicalId":402255,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Information Reuse & Integration","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115124744","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 field experiments demonstrated the plume tracing distances over 100m and the source declaration accuracy relative to the nominal source location on the order of tens of meters. However, the source declaration still leaves significant room for improvement. This paper presents two approaches to declaring the odor source via an autonomous underwater vehicle. The main idea is to use last chemical detection points to construct a source identification zone in the order of time series or of the most recent up-flow direction. The performance of the proposed approaches is evaluated using a simulated turbulent fluid environment. The studies show that a success rate in declaring the odor source reaches over 98% and the average error of the declared source locations is less than 1 meter for 1000 test runs in an operation area with length scales of 100 meters. Source verification is developed using a fuzzy reasoning segmentation algorithm to recognize the odor source","PeriodicalId":402255,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Information Reuse & Integration","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125542131","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}

Our proposed tracking scheme is based on characteristics of both traffic scene and vehicle. These include: background information, local position, and the size of a moving vehicle. The initial size and position of the vehicle are obtained using a 4-directional contour tracking method. The object contour is made less sensitive to luminosity changes by incorporating a frame differencing operation. Each vehicle can be described with four feature points. The template region is estimated by means of a minimum distance approach with respect to center position. Our experimental results confirm that extraction of feature points from each frame of the scene improves the efficiency of vehicle tracking systems. Furthermore, adjustment of the vehicle region with matched points of template resolves the previous problem of occlusion","PeriodicalId":402255,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Information Reuse & Integration","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116836334","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}

While these properties have the potential to make them user friendly and human centric, they also bring about inherent drawbacks, such as user interruptions caused by a variety of system generated events. In general, interruptions cannot be eliminated and hence need to be handled since they are essential for activities such as interaction, event notification, automation, and so on. This paper discusses the fundamentals of system generated interruption and presents a comprehensive taxonomy that incorporates past and current works on interruption handling techniques and solutions. The paper also proposes a methodology and design process for the developing of interruption aware systems that are based on the use of knowledge gathered from users' preferences, surroundings and situations via information elicitation. These incorporate user based design techniques, learning mechanisms, and preference elicitation methods in order to develop models that accurately take context, user's preferences/profiles and situations into account while designing for interruption awareness","PeriodicalId":402255,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Information Reuse & Integration","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116337751","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}

Traditionally, genetic programs generate equations (chromosomes) and consider all chromosomes within a population for breeding purposes. Considering the enormity of the search space for complex problems, it is imperative to examine genetic programs breeding efforts in order to produce better solutions with less training. This research examines chromosome lineage within genetic programs in order to identify breeding patterns. Fitness values for chromosomes are sorted, then partitioned into five classes. Initial experiments reveal a distinct difference between upper, middle, and lower classes. Based upon initial results, a novel genetic programming process is proposed which breeds a new generation exclusively from the top 20 percent of a population.
