QoS optimization for cloud service composition based on economic model
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Cloud service composition is usually long term based and economically driven. Services in cloud computing can be categorized into two groups: Application services and Computing Services. Compositions in the application ...
An analytic network process condition assessment model for sewer pipelines
(
Civil-Comp Press
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
As sewer pipelines age, the need for their upgrading, maintaining, and repairing arises. Simultaneously, inadequate sewer pipelines might lead to catastrophic failures. Thus, decision makers must have a detailed knowledge ...
An integrated ANP and er condition assessment model for sewer pipelines
(
International Society for Trenchless Technology
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
As sewer networks age, the need for their maintenance arises. Simultaneously, inadequate rehabilitation of sewer pipelines might cause catastrophic failures. Thus, municipalities worldwide must have a detailed knowledge ...
Melt Processing and Properties of Polyamide 6/Graphene Nanoplatelet Composites
(
ICCCM
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the processing and characterization of Polyamide 6 (PA6) / graphite nanoplatelets
(GNPs) composites is reported. PA6/GNPs composites were prepared by melt-mixing using an
industrial, co-rotating, intermeshing, ...
A high efficiency and high reliability single-phase modified quasi Z-Source inverter for non-isolated grid-connected applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Quazi Z-Source inverter (qZSI) is a promising inverter topology that can buck or boost input voltage without a DC-DC converter and hence can be used in transformerless configuration. This is a high efficiency solution ...
Bayesian network and response surface methodology for prediction and improvement of bacterial metabolite production
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The optimization of antifungal activity production by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was carried out using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) in two steps. The first step involved the screening of cultural parameters affecting ...
Gravitational weighted fuzzy c-means with application on multispectral image segmentation
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a novel clustering approach based on the classic Fuzzy c-means algorithm. The approach is inspired from the concept of interaction between objects in physics. Each data point is regarded as a particle. ...
Vector anisotropic filter for multispectral image denoising
(
SPIE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose an approach to extend the application of anisotropic Gaussian filtering for multi- spectral image denoising. We study the case of images corrupted with additive Gaussian noise and use sparse matrix ...
Empowering Emirati women through entrepreneurship: Success factors and financial resource acquisition perspective
(
International Business Information Management Association, IBIMA
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The purpose of this research is to identify the business success and financial resource acquisition factors, the problem areas and developmental issues allied to Emirati female entrepreneurs in the United Arab Emirates. A ...
QU at TREC-2015: Building Real-Time Systems for Tweet Filtering and Question Answering
(
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents our participation in the microblog and LiveQA tracks in TREC-2015. Both tracks required building a "real-time" system that monitors a data stream and responds to users' information needs in real-time. ...
