In this contribution, we present a new application based on fuzzy linguistic information to evaluate the quality of digital libraries. The quality evaluation of digital libraries is defined using users' perceptions on the quality of digital services provided through their Web sites. We assume a fuzzy linguistic modeling to represent the users' perception and apply automatic tools of fuzzy computing with words based on some weighted aggregation operators to compute global quality evaluations of digital libraries.

The technique of relevance feedback has been introduced to content-based 3D model retrieval. Support Vector Machine as a learner is one of the classical approaches in relevance feedback. And the Boosting method, as one of the ensemble methods. can establish a strong leaner by combing the component learners. In this paper, a novel relevance feedback mechanism, which makes use of the main idea of boosting and the component SVM, is presented and applied to the content-based 3D model retrievaL The experiments, based on the 3D model database Princeton Shape Benchmark, show that the relevance feedback algorithm can improve the retrieval performance of traditional SvM in 3D model retrievaL

We present a novel approach for generating stylized artistic rendering of caricatures from a given face image,with the ability to map any one of the main six expressions and control the degree of its expressiveness on the generated caricature. Our method achieves this by manipulating the facial appearance and expressivity of the caricature,using quadratic deformation model representations of facial expressions.A stroke-based non-photorealistic rendering(NPR) engine is developed to generate the output caricature that appears to be a sketch of the original *** NPR engine segments the defined rendering path and generates rectangular strokes that approximate each segment. The stroke properties arc computed by applying geometric image moments on each *** enhance the overall appearance of the caricature,extra strokes are randomly positioned around the rendering *** results show that from an input neutral facial image,expressive rendered caricatures are generated for the facial expressions neutral,smile,sad,fear,surprise,disgust, and *** approach produces very expressive artistically rendered caricatures,and could lead to future research directions in further extending the method to produce pencil sketch rendering of images or rendering 3D characters to generate cartoon-like 3D characters.

This paper proposes a mobile station (MS)-controlled fast MAC-layer handover (HO) scheme to reduce the HO latency in Mobile WiMAX. Based on the received signal strength (RSS) from any Base Station (BS), the MS can estimate its present distance from that BS. This capability allows the MS, through utilization of the broadcast messages by its Serving BS (SBS) and through few scannings of the Neighbouring BSs (NBS), to self-track its own direction of motion relative to the SBS and the NBSs and thus look ahead to perform an intelligent choice of the Target BS (TBS) for the impending HO. Simulation studies have shown a considerable reduction in the HO latency in the proposed method.

Background: The fix-cache approach to regression test selection was proposed to identify the most fault-prone files and corresponding test cases through analysis of fixed defect reports. Aim: The study aims at evaluating the efficiency of this approach, compared to the previous regression test selection strategy in a major corporation, developing embedded systems. Method: We launched a post-hoc case study applying the fix-cache selection method during six iterations of development of a multi-million LOC product. The test case execution was monitored through the test management and defect reporting systems of the company. Results: From the observations, we conclude that the fix-cache method is more efficient in four iterations. The difference is statistically significant at α = 0.05. Conclusions: The new method is significantly more efficient in our case study. The study will be replicated in an environment with better control of the test execution.
