Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a very important research area. It has wide range of applications in different domains, such as industrial production processes and military fields. The sensing of events and forwarding of sensed information, through multi-hops wireless communications, toward the base-station is the main functionality of a WSN. In this paper, we study the problem of how gather and aggregate data from the whole sensor nodes to the base-station, with efficient way, such that the energy consumption is reduced, messages collision are prevented and the time latency is minimized. The problem of data aggregation scheduling is mathematically modeled, and then a heuristic to resolve the problem are proposed. The simulation results show the efficiency of our solution compared to the best approaches existed in literature.

Microembolus signals (MES) detected by transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound are similar to the short duration transient signals. In previous researches, an embolus was tracked by using a supervised technique to discriminate the embolus from the background. However, the classification results were found to be affected by many factors and limited under experimental setup conditions. Therefore, a detection system based on the k-means clustering technique (unsupervised learning) is proposed for emboli detection. In order to verify the proposed technique, the signal data sets are also be computed and compared with SVM classifier. The features selected are the measured embolus-to-blood ratio (MEBR), peak embolus-to-blood ratio (PEBR) and statistical features. Five independent data sets of different transmitted frequency, probe location and different depths are identified to evaluate the feasibility of this new proposed method. The overall result show that k-means is better than SVM in term of robustness aspect. This work also revealed the feasibility of the automatic detection of the features-based emboli in which it is very imperative in assisting the experts to monitor the stroke patients.

The emergence of concepts such as big data and internet of things lead into a situation where the data structures and repositories have become more complex. So, there should be a way to analyze such data, and organize it into a meaningful and usable form. Relational model is widely used model for organizing data. Adjacency model is a data model that relies on adjacency between elements. Relational data can be represented by adjacency model. Moreover, the adjacency model can be visualized as a graph. This paper discusses the similarities between the models based on the previous studies and theories. Furthermore, this paper aims to strengthen and quantify the similarities between the models by utilizing the graph theory concepts. This study reveals that the previous considerations between the relational model and the adjacency model can be backed up with graph theory. If a relational database is represented by adjacency model and visualized as a graph called adjacency relation system, the elements of relational database can be identified from the graph. The identification of the elements is based on the graph theory concepts such as walk, vertex degree, leaf vertex, and graph domination.

Class association rule (CAR) mining is to find rules that their right hand sides contain class labels. Some recent studies have proposed algorithms for mining CARs;however, they use the batch process to solve the problem. In the previous work, we proposed a method for mining CARs from incremental datasets. This method uses MECR-tree to store itemsets and rules are easy to generate based on this tree. Pre-large concept is used to reduce the number of rescan datasets and Obidsets (set of object identifiers) are used to fast compute the support of itemsets. CAR-Incre algorithm has been proposed. However, when the number of inserted records is large, this method still consumes much time to compute the intersection of Obidsets on dense datasets. In this paper, we modify CAR-Incre algorithm by using Diffsets (difference between Obidsets) instead of Obidsets. CAR-Incre is adjusted to fit Diffsets. We verify the improved algorithm by experiments.

Determining the convex hull, its lower convex hull, and Voronoi diagram of a point set is a basic operation for many applications of pattern recognition, image processing, and data mining. To date, the lower convex hull of a finite point set is determined from the entire convex hull of the set. There arises a question "How can we determine the lower convex hull of a finite point set without relying on the entire convex hull?" In this paper, we show that the lower convex hull is wrapped by lower facets starting from an extreme edge of the lower convex hull. Then a direct method for determining the lower convex hull of a finite point set in 3D without the entire convex hull is presented. The actual running times on the set of random points (in the uniform distribution) show that our corresponding algorithm runs significantly faster than the incremental convex hull algorithm and some versions of the gift-wrapping algorithm.

Faced with the excessive opportunity, mobile service providers have unconstrained a variability of services, such as mobile instant messaging, mobile shopping and location-based services (LBS). Location-based service is a social media tool that allows users to write short text messages to public and private networks. This research focuses specifically on the mobile services on LBS. The main purposes of this study are to investigate and compare what recommendation sources influence the intention to use LBS and to combine gender, daily internet hour usage and past use experience to infer the usage of LBSs decision rules using a dominace-based rough-set approach. data for this study were collected from 398 users and potential users. The analysis is grounded in the taxonomy of induction-related activities using a domiance-based rough set approach to infer the usage of LBSs decision rules. Finally, the study of the nature of LBS reflects essential practical and academic value.

data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a mathematical programming approach for measuring efficiency of Decision Making Units (DMUs). In traditional DEA, a ratio of weighted outputs to inputs is examined and, for each DMU, some optimal weights are obtained. The method of cross-efficiency is an extension to DEA by which a matrix of scores is computed. The elements of the matrix are computed by means of the weights obtained via usual models of DEA. The cross-efficiency may have some drawbacks, e.g., the cross-efficiency scores may be multiple due to the presence of several optima. To overcome this issue, secondary goals are used. However, this method has never been used for peer evaluation of DMUs with undesirable outputs. In this paper, our objective is to bridge this gap. For this end, we introduce a new secondary goal, test it on an empirical example with undesirable outputs, report the results, and finally, we give some concluding remarks.

Roads are, probably the most important features appearing in cartography, both digital and analog one. The necessary tasks, to get accurate roads representation, were traditionally really expensive: photogrammetry and in situ differential GPS, for example. Nevertheless nowadays, the web allows people to register waypoints in their navigation device, with low accuracy and offer them to the rest of community. This way a lot of traces could be available to infer a mean road axis which, probably to be much more precise than the individual ones. In this paper we present three approaches in order to compute the representative axis above mentioned: a) Frechet distance concept, b) B-spline least square fit and c) genetic algorithm spline-based. This paper shows that all our approaches are suitable to be deployed in a web-based application in order to support collaborative digital cartography. The dataset we used in our study is composed of 149 traces captured by a low accuracy user consumer GPS.
