Three algorithms are proposed in optimizing the regression test suite when the test suite reduction technique and test case prioritization technique are combined together. 1) Build-up algorithm, which first selects the essential test case and then the one with the biggest additional contribution until all the requirements are satisfied. 2) Break-down algorithm, which iteratively discards the redundant test case with the smallest contribution until all the test cases are essential or all the requirements are satisfied. 3) Test case prioritization strategy iteratively uses build-up algorithm until all the test cases are ordered. Each test-case contribution is not only related to the importance of each requirement but also to the whole requirements set. Experimental studies are performed to show that test-suite reduction combined with the test-suite prioritization technique can provide a smaller-sized test suite with a higher ARRS value.

The main objective of this work is to automatically design neural network models with sigmoidal basis units for classification tasks, so that classifiers are obtained in the most balanced way possible in terms of CCR and sensitivity (given by the lowest percentage of examples correctly predicted to belong to each class). We present a memetic Pareto evolutionary NSGA2 (MPENSGA2) approach based on the Pareto-NSGAII evolution (PNSGAII) algorithm. We propose to augmente it with a local search using the improved Rprop-IRprop algorithm for the prediction of growth/no growth of L. monocytogenes as a function of the storage temperature, pH, citric (CA) and ascorbic acid (AA). The results obtained show that the generalization ability can be more efficiently improved within a framework that is multi-objective instead of a within a single-objective one.

Performance evaluation is decisive when improving classifiers. Accuracy alone is insufficient because it cannot capture the myriad of contributing factors differentiating the performances of two different classifiers and approaches based on a multi-objective perspective are hindered by the growing of the Pareto optimal front as the number of classes increases. This paper proposes a new approach to deal with multi-class problems based on the accuracy (C) and minimum sensitivity (S) given by the lowest percentage of examples correctly predicted to belong to each class. From this perspective, we compare different fitness functions (accuracy, C , entropy, E , sensitivity, S , and area, A ) in an evolutionary scheme. We also present a two stage evolutionary algorithm with two sequential fitness functions, the entropy for the first step and the area for the second step. This methodology is applied to solve six benchmark classification problems. The two-stage approach obtains promising results and achieves a high classification rate level in the global dataset with an acceptable level of accuracy for each class.

Grid computing is an active field in high-availability computing. This paper focuses on the numerical calculation of two-dimensional frequency selective surface using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method on grid-enabled cluster. The result of experiment shows that the evaluation via the parallel FDTD is in good agreement with the result obtained via the traditional FDTD method. The parallel FDTD algorithm is correct and reasonable, which can be extended to other periodic structure and finite exciting sources.

In this study six different mode switching techniques (i.e. timeout mode switching, non-preferred hand mode switching, barrel button mode switching, pressure mode switching, tilt mode switching and azimuth mode switching) based on multiple parameters pen input are proposed. The results indicate that the techniques utilizing tilt angle and azimuth offer faster performance than the others.

This NSF-funded community-building (CB) project brings together Michigan State University (MSU), Lansing Community College (LCC), and the Corporation for a Skilled Workforce (CSW) to design and implement a process to create a collaboratively defined undergraduate computing education within the engineering and technology fields in alignment with the computational problem-solving abilities needed to transform mid-Michiganpsilas economy and workforce. In this WIP we outline the process we are developing to ensure that a wide variety of stakeholders - business, community leaders and post secondary educators - collaborate to identify workforce computational skills, define how these skills can be integrated across a curriculum, and develop revised curricula that integrate computational problem-solving across engineering departmental courses. By documenting, evaluating and making the process explicit, this process can serve as a model for national efforts to revitalize undergraduate computing education in engineering, and should be extensible to other computing education reform efforts.

The community is not only one kind of widely existing organization in networks, but also contains distinct information about topics. The present paper is to define a metric between community members, weigh their semantic similarity, and finally make use of the metric to find more about the Web. In order to achieve this, the usual practice is to establish a "plane" adjacency matrix according to the citation relationship among all community members. However, it is easy to trigger the problem of topic drift. To overcome this weak point, the present paper puts forward firstly the strategy of establishing a three-order adjacency tensor on the 3-dimensional relationship between the seed document, simple document and the author. Secondly, the adjacency tensor is decomposed to obtain the principal component in each dimension. Thirdly, the semantic similarity between authors is defined. The experiment makes it clear that the semantic similarity between the author and people of importance tends to be stable under a particular circumstance.
