This paper elaborates on context assessment strategies for smart homes and, in a broader perspective, for context-aware cognitive systems. The proposed framework, which is inspired by a cognitive theory called functionalism, is aimed at integrating ontology and logic approaches to context modeling. Two are the assumptions underlying the model: (i) the availability of an ontology (i.e., a "context-role" representation of what exists in a given domain); (ii) a simple inference schema (i.e., subsumption between concepts). The context model is formally defined adopting a structural approach, which describes contexts and situations as recursive structures grounded with respect to the ontology. Examples are presented to discuss the proposed model.

In this paper, we propose a algorithm which can extract traffic information from the images automatically. The main purpose lies in utilizing existing traffic photography equipment, cooperating with this system to get vehicle numbers and vehicle speed information. During the process of extracting traffic information, we utilize the traffic image sequence input from camera. By analyzing the pixels' difference between consecutive Image frames, we can get the moving object's characteristics and count the quantity of the passing vehicles.

Routing protocol is the nervous system to any network. It directs data to it's destinations, OSPF is the famous intera-domain routing protocol at all over the world, OSPF calculates routes as follow. Each link is assigned weights by operator. Each node in the autonomous system computes shortest paths and creates destination tables used to route data to next node on the path to its destination it direct data according to variable parameter named weights (cost), quality of routing depends on the setting of these parameters, OSPF routing is NP hard problem [1], OSPF weights setting problem is to find a set of OSPF weights that optimizes network performance. Although a lot of trials have been made for open shortest path setting problem (OSPFWSP), no optimal setting is found. At this paper a new algorithm is developed to solve OSPFWSP, also comparison between the new algorithm and the legacy methods is done.

This paper presents an optimization of GPR mixture model based on the measurements and simulation results at frequency range of 1.7-2.6 GHz. The purpose is to get a most accurate relationship between attenuation and density for various road pavements densities. The proposed method is simple, fast, nondestructive and accurate way to determine the density of road pavement. Density is a one of the important parameter in order to determine the compressive strength of road pavement. In laboratory, a few of received signal strength and measured attenuation for nine road pavement slab samples were taken at four different frequencies. The GPR mixture model has been used to produce the predicted attenuation due to the pavement density. The calculation and selection of mixture model has been discussed thoroughly and only the best performance of GPR mixture model was selected for optimization.

Nowadays P2P applications dominate many networks. However, despite of their diffusion, the analysis of tele- traffic generated by these applications in real-time environment remains an open issue. In this paper we look at analytical and simulation models, which can be used for quantifying volumes of P2P teletraffic at the network layer, to ease still existing difficulties associated with monitoring such teletraffic. We present an event-driven simulator, able to simulate P2P teletraffic both at the application and network layers in large overlay networks (we have successfully tested it in networks used by up to 500,000 peers). The simulation model was developed for studying the impact that P2P systems have on the network layer performance. We studied also the application layer dynamics by looking at time evolution of file-downloading processes and at the offered load generated in such networks. We report the results of several simulation scenarios, in which we focused on the consequences such teletraffic has on the Internet access link of an enterprise network.

Producing software that is adaptable to the rapid environmental changes and the dynamic nature of the business life-cycle is extensively becoming a topical issue in the software evolution. In this context, change propagation (CP) process is one of the critical parts in the software change management. Traditional strategies have projected more complex ways, resulting to substantial failures and risks. This paper presents an investigation and highlights on the desired criteria to provide better means to simplify the complicated CP tasks. The evaluation results may be used as a foundation in improving CP approaches that provide significant challenges in software evolution.

Much as software is very useful as a driving force of physical machine in assisting many aspects of human endeavor, it is also often accomplished with delicate aspect especially when correct specification and quality are not met. Ranging from less critical applications (such as payroll), to highly sophisticated application (such as health care system) as well as mission critical applications (such as space mission), failures in the functionality of these systems are often accompanied by disproportionate heavy losses to the respective users. In addition, industrial application is performance-intensive and cannot afford to fail. In this paper, our novel open onions ontology was presented which approaches software development from a layered point of view, the open source approach as an alternative methodology for industrial application development was proposed. Various issues involved in industrial applications were reviewed, the current industrial development methodologies were discussed and possibilities of adopting open source were explored.

Image segmentation is one of the most important parts of clinical diagnostic tools. Medical images mostly contain noise and in homogeneity. Therefore, accurate segmentation of medical images is a very difficult task. However, the process of accurate segmentation of these images is very important and crucial for a correct diagnosis by clinical tools. In this paper a new method is proposed which is robust against in-homogeneousness and noisiness of images. The user selects training data for each target class. Noise is reduced in image using Stationary wavelet Transform (SWT) then FCM clusters input image to the n clusters where n is the number of target classes. User selects some of the clusters to be partitioned again. FCM clusters each user selected cluster to two sub clusters. This process continues until user to be satisfied. Each cluster is considered as a sub-class. Posterior probability of data to each sub class is calculated using data in those sub-classes. Probability density of each target class at sub classes is calculated using training data. Probability of data to each target class is calculated using probability density of each subclass at input data and probability of each subclass to each target class. At last, the image is clustered using probability of data to each target class. Segmentation of several simulated and real images are demonstrated to show the effectiveness of the new method.
