This paper addresses the need of semantic component in the grid environment to discover and describe the grid resources semantically. We propose semantic grid architecture by introducing a knowledge layer at the top of Gridbus broker architecture and thereby enabling broker to discover resources semantically. The semantic component in the knowledge layer enables semantic description of grid resources with the help of ontology template. The ontology template has been created using Protege-OWL editor for different types of computing resources in the grid environment. The Globus Toolkit's MDS is used to gather grid resource information and Protege-OWL libraries are used to dynamically create knowledge base of grid resources. Algernon inference engine is used for interacting with the knowledge base to discover suitable resources.

In this article, we describe a grid of sensors to collect patients' vital data and to allow real time monitoring of patients in heath-care centres. We analyse the problem scenario and identify the components involved towards the construction of an integrated and homogeneous management system. Finally, we present a case study to demonstrate the applicability of our approach

The problem of designing recurrent continuous-time and spiking neural networks is NP-Hard. A common practice is to utilize stochastic searches, such as evolutionary algorithms, to automatically construct acceptable networks. The outcome of the stochastic search is related to its ability to navigate the search space of neural networks and discover those of high quality. In this paper we investigate the search space associated with designing the above recurrent neural networks in order to differentiate which network should be easier to automatically design via a stochastic search. Our investigation utilizes two popular dynamic systems problems; (1) the Henon map and (2) the inverted pendulum as a benchmark.

A cellular neural/nonlinear network (CNN) is any spatial arrangement of mainly locally coupled cells, where each cell is a dynamical system which has an input, an output and a state that evolves according to some prescribed dynamical laws. Since the CNN was first introduced in 1988, research in this field has developed rapidly. The goal of this tutorial is to provide participants with a snapshot of the current state of the art and research trends. It covers the broad multi-disciplinary areas of CNN research, from theoretical aspects to applications. The presenters have experience ranging from theoretical analysis of CNN dynamics, VLSI implementation and system level applications

This paper addresses the secure storage and transmission of medical informatics in rapidly growing applications such as teleradiology and telesurgery. In particular, we propose a frequency domain digital watermarking technique that can be used to authenticate medical images in a distributed diagnosis and home healthcare environment. The most significant result of our method is the semi-reversibility property that undoes most of the degradation attributable to the watermarking process

The main problem with all fractal compression implementation is execution time. Algorithms can spend hours to compress a single image. Most of the major variants of the standard algorithm for speeding up computation time have led to a bad-quality or a lower compression ratio. For example, the Fisher's [ 7] proposed classification pattern greatly accelerated the algorithm, but image quality was poor due to the search-space reduction imposed by the classification, which eleminates a lot of good solutions. By using genetic algorithms to address the problem, we optimize the domain blocks search. We explore all domain blocks present in the image but not in exhaustive way ( like a standard algorithm) and without omitting any possible block (solution) as a classification pattern does. A genetic algorithm is the unique method for satisfying these constraints. And it is a way to do be a random search because the genetic one is directed by fitness selection, which produces optimal solutions. Our goal in this work is to use a genetic algorithm to solve the IFS inverse problem and to build a fractal compression algorithm based on the genetic optimization of a domain blocks search. we have also implemented standard Barnsley algorithm, the Y. Fisher based on classification, and the genetic compression algorithm with quadtree partitioning. A population of transformations was evolved for each range block, and the result is compared with the standard Barnsely algorithm and the Fisher algorithm = based classification. We deduced an optimal set of values for the best parameters combination, and we can also specify the best combination for each desired criteria: best compression ratio, best image quality, or quick compression process. By running many test images, we experimentally found the following set of optimal values of all the algorithm parameters that ensure compromise between execution time and solutions optimality: Population size = 100, Maximum generations = 20, Crossover rat

Current computer applications and user interfaces lack user context and are not successful in learning user preferences to improve user interaction. We present Sycophant, a context learning calendaring application program which is designed to learn a mapping from user-related contextual features to reminder actions. In this paper, we consider the feasibility of using a genetics-based machine learning technique, XCS, for the purpose of learning this mapping from a set of context features to reminder actions as a predictive data-mining task. We compare XCS's performance with a decision tree algorithm on this learning task and show that XCS outperforms the decision tree learner.
