In the proposed method, a sequential estimator is being designed in the image subspace which addresses the challenges due to nonlinear, no stationary, and heterogeneous noise. The proposed model includes a subspace method that overcomes the computational complexity associated with the sequential estimator. The theoretical foundation of the proposed method along with the experimental results are also presented in this paper. For the experimental evaluation of the proposed method, facial images from the public \"Put Face Database\" have been used. The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in comparison with its counterparts.","PeriodicalId":439385,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Computational Science and Computational Intelligence","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125848394","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}

These interactions may not be secure from self-interested agents. For that, each agent must be capable to identify reliable interaction allies. In light of this, the focus is on developing a different type of interactions among the agents inside a spontaneous networked organization (SNO). It helps to overcome such a problem through applying a broad range of service level agreements (SLAs). We will present a policy of negotiation and renegotiation to accelerate the execution process of the fittest task provided by the organized agent. Moreover, by applying collaborative filtering (CF), we will examine a different type of data to illustrate how agents interact implicitly or explicitly and how these interactions affect the social capital. This method obtains a high performance of interaction and can help to control the spontaneous flow of behaviors and knowledge to be more accurate when agents communicate rationally since trust is recorded in such a distributed organization.","PeriodicalId":439385,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Computational Science and Computational Intelligence","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121556081","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}

One of the most successful paradigms that can be configured over the cloud is the Service oriented Architecture (SoA) environment, which provides a layered architecture for organising software resources as services, so that they can be deployed, discovered and combined to produce new services. The coordination of the interactions between such services is one of the key challenges of SoA, as any failings in these services could lead to lack of availability, which may violate Service Level Agreements. Therefore, this paper harnesses the capability of the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) in order to automate the creation and integration of a Protocol service, which is used to coordinate interactions between services. It is then linked with a real-time Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) dashboard, which is created automatically to monitor the performance of the Protocol service. The approach is implemented as a tool, it also configures the cloud interface to interact with these services.","PeriodicalId":439385,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Computational Science and Computational Intelligence","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130742733","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}
