Transport layer performance analysis and optimization for smart metering infrastructure
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
In a smart power grid, collecting data from a large number of smart meters and sensors over the conventional one-hop transmission control protocol (TCP) communication is prone to a high packet loss rate and degraded ...
Inference engine based on closure and join operators over Truth Table Binary Relations
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2014 , Article)
Abstract We propose a conceptual reasoning method for an inference engine. Starting from a knowledge base made of decision rules, we first map each rule to its corresponding Truth Table Binary Relation (TTBR), considered ...
PLM maturity evaluation and prediction based on a maturity assessment and fuzzy sets theory
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2014 , Article)
Companies adopt PLM maturity models to evaluate PLM implementation and recognize relative positions in PLM selection to better harness PLM benefits. However, the majority traditional PLM maturity models are relative ...
Deriving consistent pairwise comparison matrices in decision making methodologies based on linear programming method
(
IOS Press
, 2014 , Article)
Pairwise comparison matrix (PCM) with crisp or fuzzy elements should satisfy consistency requirements when it is used in analytic hierarchy process (AHP) or in fuzzy AHP methodologies. An algorithm has been presented to ...
A survey of clustering algorithms for big data: Taxonomy and empirical analysis
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2014 , Article)
Clustering algorithms have emerged as an alternative powerful meta-learning tool to accurately analyze the massive volume of data generated by modern applications. In particular, their main goal is to categorize data into ...
Optimal inconsistency repairing of pairwise comparison matrices using integrated linear programming and eigenvector methods
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2014 , Article)
Satisfying consistency requirements of pairwise comparison matrix (PCM) is a critical step in decision making methodologies. An algorithm has been proposed to find a new modified consistent PCM in which it can replace the ...
SmartPads: A plug-N-play configurable tangible user interface
(
Kluwer Academic Publishers
, 2014 , Article)
One common concern with video games today is the lack of physical activity they demand from the user. The design of games and tangible user interfaces (TUIs) that stimulate players and engage them into fun exercising ...
A quality of experience model for haptic virtual environments
(
Association for Computing Machinery
, 2014 , Article)
Haptic-based Virtual Reality (VR) applications have many merits. What is still obscure, from the designer's perspective of these applications, is the experience the users will undergo when they use the VR system. Quality ...
A fuzzy-based adaptive rehabilitation framework for home-based wrist training
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Article)
Computer-based rehabilitation systems have emerged as promising assistive tools for effective training and diagnosis and gained popularity in clinical settings. For many patients, home-based rehabilitation can be really ...
