Creating an applicable and precise failure prediction system is highly desirable for decision makers and regulators in the finance industry. This study develops a new Failure Prediction (FP) approach which effectively integrates a fuzzy logic-based adaptive inference system with the learning ability of a neural network to generate knowledge in the form of a fuzzy rule base. This FP approach uses a preprocessing phase to deal with the imbalanced data-sets problem and develops a new Fuzzy Neural Network (FNN) including an adaptive inference system in the learning algorithm along with its network structure and rule generation algorithm as a means to reduce prediction error in the FP approach.
Major challenges of the conventional spread-transform dither modulation (STDM) watermarking approach are two-fold: (i) it exploits a fixed watermarking strength (more particularly, the quantization index step size) to...

A delivery route optimization system greatly improves the real time delivery efficiency. To realize such an optimization, its distribution network requires solving several tens to hundreds (max. 1500-2000) cities Traveling Salesman Problems (TSP) within interactive response time (around 3 seconds) with expert-level accuracy (below 3% level of error rate). To meet these requirements, a Backtrack and Restart Genetic Algorithm (Br-GA) is proposed and compared with conventional ones, especially such as an Inner Random Restart Genetic Algorithm (Irr-GA). This method combines Backtracking and GA having simple heuristics such as 2-opt and NI (Nearest Insertion) so that, in case of stagflation, GA can restarts with the state of populations going back to the state in the generation before stagflation. Including these heuristics, field experts and field engineers can easily understand the way and use it. Using the tool applying their method, they can easily create/modify the solutions or conditions interactively depending on their field needs. Experimental results proved that the method meets the above-mentioned delivery scheduling requirements more than other methods from the viewpoint of optimality as well as simplicity. Especially as to optimality, Br-GA is superior to even Irr-GA.

The accuracy and efficiency of cost estimation methodology for web-based application is very important for software development as it would be able to assist the management team to estimate the cost. Furthermore, it will ensure that the development of cost is within the planned budget and provides a fundamental motivation towards the development of web-based application project. The literature review reveals that COCOMO II provides accurate result because more variables are considered including reuse parameter. The parameter is one of the essential variables in estimating the cost in web-based application development. This research investigates the feasibility to combine and implement COCOMO II and expert judgment technique in a tool called WebCost. In estimating a cost, the tool considers all variables in COCOMO II and requires expert judgment to key-in the input of the variables such as project size, project type, cost adjustment factor and cost driven factor. Developed in JAVA, WebCost is proven able to estimate cost and generate its estimation result. The usability evaluation conducted had shown that WebCost is usable when compared with other tools, it has its own advantages. WebCost is evidence suitable for everyone especially the project managers, software practitioners or softwareengineering student in handling the cost estimation tasks.

Partly Proportionate fair (Partly-Pfair) scheduling, which allows task migration at runtime and assigns each task processing time with regard to its weight, makes it possible to build highly efficient embedded multi-core systems. Due to its non-work-conserving behavior, which might leave the CPU idle even when tasks are ready to execute, tasks finish only shortly before their deadlines are reached. Benefits are lower task jitter, but additional workload, e.g. through interrupts, can lead to deadline violations. In this paper we present a work-conserving extension of Partly-Pfair scheduling, called PERfair scheduling and the algorithm P-ERfair-PD2 which applies Pfair modifications used for Partly-Pfair on the concept of ERfairness and PD2 policies. With a simulation based schedulability examination we show for multiple time base (MTB) task sets that P-ERfair- PD2 has the same performance as Partly-Pfair-PD2. Additionally, we show that P-ERfair- PD2 has a much higher robustness against perturbations, and therefore it is well suited for embedded domains, especially for the Automotive domain.

In this paper, we propose a computational approach for adaptation in mission planning, an important process in the chain of command and control. In this area, it has been highly regarded that military missions are often dynamic and uncertain. This characteristic comes from the nature of battlefields where the factors of enemies and terrains are not easy to be determined. Hence, it is necessary to generate plans that can adapt quickly to the changes during the missions, while avoiding paying a high cost. In addressing such an adaptation process, the issue of multi-objectivity can not be avoided. Our approach first mathematically models the dynamic planning problem with two criteria: the mission execution time and the cost of operations. Based on this quantification, we introduce an evolutionary multi-objective mechanism to adapt the current solution to new situations resulted from changes. We carried out a case study on this newly proposed approach. A modified military scenario of a mission was used for testing. The obtained results strongly support our proposal in finding adaptive solution dealing with the changes.

Measurement based quantum computation, which requires only single particle measurements on a universal resource state to achieve the full power of quantum computing, has been recognized as one of the most promising models for the physical realization of quantum computers. Despite considerable progress in the past decade, it remains a great challenge to search for new universal resource states with naturally occurring Hamiltonians and to better understand the entanglement structure of these kinds of states. Here we show that most of the resource states currently known can be reduced to the cluster state, the first known universal resource state, via adaptive local measurements at a constant cost. This new quantum state reduction scheme provides simpler proofs of universality of resource states and opens up plenty of space to the search of new resource states.
