This study reviews the literature regarding cloud computing and IT governance, and presents a research model along with its hypotheses formulation to examine the factors impacting cloud computing perceived importance in several Arab firms, specifically Jordan, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates by using the integration of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) model and Technology-Organizational-Environmental (TOE) framework as adapted from [1]. 329 returned surveys from top, middle-level IT managers, and IT employees from the operational level of the studied firms were analyzed using the structural equation modeling technique. The study found relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, organizational readiness, top management commitment, and training and education as important variables for impacting cloud computing adoption using perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness as mediating variables. The model explained 61%, 63%, and 74% of cloud computing adoption for perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and perceived importance respectively.","PeriodicalId":91826,"journal":{"name":"...

It also serves businesses as it keeps tracking user feedback. The sheer volume of online reviews makes it difficult for a human to process and extract all significant information to make purchasing choices. As a result, there has been a trend toward systems that can automatically summarize opinions from a set of reviews. In this paper, we present a hybrid algorithm that combines an auto-summarization algorithm with a sentiment analysis (SA) algorithm, to offer a personalized user experiences and to solve the semantic-pragmatic gap. The algorithm consists of six steps that start with the original text document and generate a summary of that text by choosing the N most relevant sentences in the text. The tagged texts are then processed and then passed to a Naive Bayesian classifier along with their tags as training data. The raw data used in this paper belong to the tagged corpus positive and negative processed movie reviews introduced in [1]. The measures that are used to gauge the performance of the SA and classification algorithm for all test cases consist of accuracy, recall, and precision. We describe in details both the aspect of extraction and sentiment detection modules of our system.","PeriodicalId":91826,"journal":{"name":"...

This feature makes the software to run more efficiently, actively, and reduces the maintenance time and cost. This paper proposes an automated approach for Software Fault Detection and Recovery (SFDR). The SFDR detects the cases if a fault occurs with software components such as component deletion, replacement or modification, and recovers the component to enable the software to continue its intended operation. The SFDR is analyzed and implemented in parallel as a standalone software at the design phase of the target software. The practical applicability of the proposed approach has been tested by implementing an application demonstrating the performance and effectiveness of the SFDR. The experimental results and the comparisons with other works show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":91826,"journal":{"name":"...

In this study, we propose a routing method that controls traffic flows by labeling \u0000them with numbers representing the source switch, destination switch and required communication \u0000quality.

{"title":"Software Reusability Classification and Predication Using Self-Organizing Map (SOM)","authors":"A. Hudaib, Ammar Huneiti, Islam M. Othman","doi":"10.4236/CN.2016.83018","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4236/CN.2016.83018","url":null,"abstract":"Due to rapid development in software industry, it was necessary to reduce time and efforts in the \u0000software development process. Software Reusability is an important measure that can be applied \u0000to improve software development and software quality. Reusability reduces time, effort, errors, \u0000and hence the overall cost of the development process. Reusability prediction models are established \u0000in the early stage of the system development cycle to support an early reusability assessment. \u0000In Object-Oriented systems, Reusability of software components (classes) can be obtained \u0000by investigating its metrics values. Analyzing software metric values can help to avoid developing \u0000components from scratch. In this paper, we use Chidamber and Kemerer (CK) metrics suite in order \u0000to identify the reuse level of object-oriented classes. Self-Organizing Map (SOM) was used to \u0000cluster datasets of CK metrics values that were extracted from three different java-based systems. \u0000The goal was to find the relationship between CK metrics values and the reusability level of the \u0000class. The reusability level of the class was classified into three main categorizes (High Reusable, \u0000Medium Reusable and Low Reusable). The clustering was based on metrics threshold values that \u0000were used to achieve the experiments. The proposed methodology succeeds in classifying classes \u0000to their reusability level (High Reusable, Medium Reusable and Low Reusable). The experiments \u0000show how SOM can be applied on software CK metrics with different sizes of SOM grids to provide \u0000different levels of metrics details. The results show that Depth of Inheritance Tree (DIT) and \u0000Number of Children (NOC) metrics dominated the clustering process, so these two metrics were \u0000discarded from the experiments to achieve a successful clustering. The most efficient SOM topology \u0000[2 × 2] grid size is used to predict the reusability of classes.","PeriodicalId":91826,"journal":{"name":"...

Chong","doi":"10.4236/CN.2016.82008","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4236/CN.2016.82008","url":null,"abstract":"Power grid vulnerability is a key issue with large blackouts, causing power disruption for millions of people. The complexity of power grid, together with excessive number of components, makes it difficult to be modeled. Currently, researchers use complex networks to model and study the performance of power grids. In fact, power grids can be modeled into a complex network by making use of ring network topology, with substations and transmission lines denoted as nodes and edges, respectively. In this paper, three protection schemes are proposed and their effectiveness in protecting the power network under high and low-load attacks is studied. The proposed schemes, namely, Cascaded Load Cut-off (CLC), Cascaded Load Overflow (CLO) and Adaptive-Cascaded Load Overflow (A-CLO), improve the robustness of the power grids, i.e., decrease the value of critical tolerance. Simulation results show that CLC and CLO protection schemes are more effective in improving the robustness of networks than the A-CLO protection scheme. However, the CLC protection scheme is effective only at the expense that certain percentage of the network will have no power supply. Thus, results show that the CLO protection scheme dominates the other protection schemes, CLC and A-CLO, in terms of the robustness of the network, improved with the precise amount of load cut-off determined.","PeriodicalId":91826,"journal":{"name":"...

Several approaches to detect insider jammers in MANET have been \u0000proposed. However, once the insider jammer is detected and removed from the \u0000network, it is possible for the insider jammer to leverage the knowledge of \u0000insider information to launch a future attack. In this paper, we focus on collaborative \u0000smart jamming attacks, where the attackers who have been detected as insider jammers \u0000in a MANET, return to attack the MANET based on the knowledge learned. The \u0000MANET uses a reputation-based coalition game to detect insider jammers. In the \u0000collaborative smart jamming attack, two or more smart jammers will form a \u0000coalition to attack the coalitions in the MANET. The smart jammers were \u0000detected and then excluded from their initial coalition, they then regrouped to \u0000start their own coalition and share previously gained knowledge about \u0000legitimate nodes in their erstwhile coalition with the aim of achieving a \u0000highly coordinated successful jamming attack on the legitimate coalition. The \u0000success of the attack largely depends on the insider jammer’s collective \u0000knowledge about the MANET. We present a technique to appropriately represent \u0000knowledge gathered by insider jammers which would lead to a successful attack. \u0000Simulation results in NS2 depict that coalition of jammers can leverage past \u0000knowledge to successfully attack MANET.","PeriodicalId":91826,"journal":{"name":"...
