Nonparametric density estimation is a fundamental problem of statistics and data mining. Even though kernel density estimation is the most widely used method, its performance highly depends on the choice of the kernel...

One of the major constraints of wireless sensor networks is limited energy available to sensor nodes because of the small size of the batteries they use as source of power. Clustering is one of the routing techniques that have been using to minimize sensor nodes’ energy consumption during operation. In this paper, A Novel Clustering Algorithm for Energy Efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks (ANCAEE) has been proposed. The algorithm achieves good performance in terms of minimizing energy consumption during data transmission and energy consumptions are distributed uniformly among all nodes. ANCAEE uses a new method of clusters formation and election of cluster heads. The algorithm ensures that a node transmits its data to the cluster head with a single hop transmission and cluster heads forward their data to the base station with multi-hop transmissions. Simulation results show that our approach consumes less energy and effectively extends network utilization.
User-Item (U-I) matrix has been used as the dominant data infrastructure of Collaborative Filtering (CF). To reduce space consumption in runtime and storage, caused by data sparsity and growing need to accommodate sid...

In computer systems, printable characters include not only 62 alphanumeric characters (0-9, a-z and A-Z) but also non-alphanumeric characters (e.g. *, \, ∧, %). Base64 is a commonly used encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format However, for Base64, non-alphanumeric characters (e.g. *, \, ∧, %) are problematic for filenames and URLs. For example, “+” is error-prone in URL and “/” is not allowed in filenames. To address this issue, we propose a new method, Base62x, as an alternative approach to Base64. The proposed method is more effective in application development and fully compatible with symbol-sensitive applications, such as, file systems, IP addresses and safe transmission of non-ASCII over the Internet.

Workflow techniques are emerging as an important approach for the specification and management of complex processing tasks. This approach is especially powerful for utilising distributed data and processing resources in widely-distributed heterogeneous systems. We describe our DISCWorld distributed workflow environment for composing complex processing chains, which are specified as a directed acyclic graph of operators. Users of our system can formulate processing chains using either graphical or scripting tools. We have deployed our system for image processing applications and decision support systems. We describe the technologies we have developed to enable the execution of these processing chains across wide-area computing systems. In particular, we present our distributed Job Placement Language (based on XML) and various Java interface approaches we have developed for implementing the workflow metaphor. We outline a number of key issues for implementing a high-performance, reliable, distributed workflow management system.

Problem solving environments are an attractive approach to the integration of calculation and management tools for various scientific and engineering applications. These applications often require high performance computing components in order to be computationally feasible. It is therefore a challenge to construct integration technology, suitable for problem solving environments, that allows both flexibility as well as the embedding of parallel and high performance computing systems. Our DISCWorld system is designed to meet these needs and provides a Java-based middleware to integrate component applications across wide-area networks. Key features of our design are the abilities to: access remotely stored data; compose complex processing requests either graphically or through a scripting language; execute components on heterogeneous and remote platforms; reconfigure task subgraphs to run across multiple servers. Operators in task graphs can be slow (but portable) pure Java implementations or wrappers to fast (platform specific) supercomputer implementations.
