Frequency channels are allocated to the access-points (APs) subject to an acceptable co-channel interference level in an IEEE 802.11 WLAN. Due to limited number of the non- overlapping frequency channels, all APs in a given area may not be activated simultaneously. Therefore which subset of the APs to select for activation is a major concern. Given a set of selected APs, often a station (STA) can potentially associate with more than one AP. The association of an STA to an inappropriate AP will not only lead to degraded service for the concern STA but also may pull down the throughput of the other STAs associated with that AP. Thus finding the optimal association between STAs and APs is another im- portant concern. We argue that treating these two issues in succession may lead to suboptimal solutions, whereas, ignor- ing the co-channel interference may result over estimation of the throughput. In this paper, an integrated model based on integer programming and an efficient greedy algorithm are proposed that address both aspects simultaneously and maximizes the overall throughput while taking care of load balancing across different APs. Computational results show that indeed the integrated approach is superior to both two- step approach and methods that ignore the interference.

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have traditionally been developed for paralyzed and locked-in individuals with no motor control. However, there is a much larger population of patients with some residual motor function as well as the general population of able-bodied individuals, both of whom could benefit significantly from BCIs. An important question that has yet to be systematically studied is: can subjects use BCIs simultaneously with overt motor activity? We present results from a preliminary study aimed at exploring this question. Three subjects used hand motor imagery in an electroencephalographic (EEG) BCI while simultaneously using a joystick to control a cursor. Particular attention was paid to preventing potential muscle artifacts from influencing imagery-based control. All three subjects were able to use the hybrid "imagery+joystick" mode of control over two days, demonstrating the ability to learn and significantly improve performance. These results suggest that subjects can potentially augment their normal human sensorimotor capability by exercising direct brain control over devices concurrently with overt motor control.

In the field of data mining, clustering of educational data has not given much of the importance. Considering the growth of educational field as a business, clustering of educational data must be focused as it can give effective results as in the case of mining enrolled students on the basis of education they undertake. A new algorithm is proposed and implemented by us for clustering educational data. This algorithm is based on a continuous looping procedure. Raw dataset is assigned to clustering algorithm initially and a novel cluster is identified for partition whose cluster high degree is less. Then improvement of degree of cluster is carried out. In this algorithm on the basis of homogeneity, cluster high degree is defined. Experiment is carried out on educational data, which provides good high degree clusters.

Table detection is an important task in the field of document analysis. It has been extensively studied since a couple of decades. Various kinds of document mediums are involved, from scanned images to web pages, from plain texts to PDF files. Numerous algorithms published bring up a challenging issue: how to evaluate algorithms in different context. Currently, most work on table detection conducts experiments on their in-house dataset. Even the few sources of online datasets are targeted at image documents only. Moreover, Precision and recall measurement are usual practice in order to account performance based on human evaluation. In this paper, we provide a dataset that is representative, large and most importantly, publicly available. The compatible format of the ground truth makes evaluation independent of document medium. We also propose a set of new measures, implement them, and open the source code. Finally, three existing table detection algorithms are evaluated to demonstrate the reliability of the dataset and metrics.

This paper discusses design, development and prototyping of a drive designer assistance tool: MainDriveASSIST. The prototype consists of features that enable drive engineer in selection of drive system components based on meta-analysis of vendors' offers as well as customer's requirements. Meta-analysis is performed through by using benchmarking dashboard comprises technical and non-technical indicators for selection of drive system components. The benchmarking dashboard broadens and deepens drive engineer's knowledge for optimal selection of drive components and improves decision-making activities. Technical indicators are mainly acquired from dimensioning of the drive system (drive system specifications) as well as the basic requirements e.g. for power consumption and operational availability (maintenance related factors). Non-technical indicators are mainly to consider business administration activities especially through indication of investment and preventive/corrective maintenance costs of drive systems which are directly affect customer's/company's business process. The prototype of MainDriveASSIST is designed and developed within an industrial oriented project at the institute of knowledge Based Systems and knowledge Management.

Least association rules are corresponded to the rarity or irregularity relationship among itemset in database. Mining these rules is very difficult and rarely focused since it always involves with infrequent and exceptional cases. In certain medical data, detecting these rules is very critical and most valuable. However, mathematical formulation and evaluation of the new proposed measurement are not really impressive. Therefore, in this paper we applied our novel measurement called Critical Relative Support (CRS) to mine the critical least association rules from medical dataset. We also employed our scalable algorithm called Significant Least Pattern Growth algorithm (SLP-Growth) to mine the respective association rules. Experiment with two benchmarked medical datasets, Breast Cancer and Cardiac Single Proton Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) Images proves that CRS can be used to detect to the pertinent rules and thus verify its scalability.
