We propose a new method, called closed multidimensional sequential pattern mining, for mining multidimensional sequential patterns. The new method is an integration of closed sequential pattern mining and closed itemset pattern mining. Based on this method, we show that (1) the number of complete closed multidimensional sequential patterns is not larger than the number of complete multidimensional sequential patterns (2) the set of complete closed multidimensional sequential patterns covers the complete resulting set of multidimensional sequential patterns. In addition, mining using closed itemset pattern mining on multidimensional information would mine only multidimensional information associated with mined closed sequential patterns, and mining using closed sequential pattern mining on sequences would mine only sequences associated with mined closed itemset patterns

The change in the softwaresystems is inevitable if the system is to remain useful. The change in business requirements sometimes is such that the old and new requirements have to be met simultaneously, i.e. old and new business rules are needed to exist concurrently. Accommodating more than one rule in the existing entities, leads to the change in the operational system, which involves risk. The evolution in the system impacts the business rules as well as the data model of the system. The evolution step incorporating the change in business rule requires changes to be carried out in the application architecture in terms of addition or modification of process as well as data components and also the alterations in the relationships among the components. The evolution problem of coexistence of business rules can be considered as incremental change to the existing architectural design of the system to nullify the risk of change to the software. In this paper we propose the framework, where temporal aspects of process as well as data components and concurrent validity of multiple business rules, with multiple versions of the components can be effectively implemented. The framework supports evolution without disturbing existing architecture and functionality. This framework is consistent in application to systems irrespective of the design methodology followed for the same.

This paper assesses and analyzes a harmonic vector modeling method for reducing disturbance torque and motion state estimation error using quantized input measurements of position. There is a finite resolution available for any digital interface and quantization will always be present in some form. Although not possible to completely reconstruct a quantized measured state, it is possible to attenuate deterministic quantization characteristics. The discussed method models quantized position feedback as a spatially rotating vector consisting of fundamental and harmonic components. The error mitigation strategy involves decoupling these spatial quantization harmonics from the actual fundamental position, using heterodyning tracking observer topologies

Long-duration surface missions to the Moon and Mars will require bases to accommodate habitats for the astronauts, as well as indoor laboratory facilities, in-situ resource plants, power plants, and scientific/surface mobility equipment. Transporting the materials and equipment required to build the necessary habitats would be costly and difficult. However, the use of planetary resources to produce construction materials, or even as naturally found (such as lunar regolith utilized as an outer layer for radiation shielding, or regolith in bags as wall structure), could drastically reduce the upmass for habitats. The materials chosen for the habitat walls play a direct role in protection against each of the mentioned hazards. Choosing the best materials, their configuration, and the amount required is extremely difficult due to the immense size of the design region. For example a 3-layer habitat wall created from 20 possible materials all with varying thicknesses would have #number of layers(possible material types)∧(possible thicknesses) = 320∧inf possible solutions. Clearly, an optimization method is warranted for habitat wall design. Standard optimization techniques are not suitable for problems with such large search spaces. To overcome the large search regions, a habitat wall design tool using genetic algorithms has been developed. GAs use a "survival of the fittest" philosophy, where the most fit individuals are more likely to survive and reproduce, therefore transmitting their genes to the next generation. This paper focuses on finding optimal GA parameters for the habitat optimization tool. This tool is a multiobjective formulation of structural analysis, heat loss, radiation, and meteoroid protection. Some of the constraint calculations (i.e. safety factor, deflection, and heat loss) require long computation times. Even though each material has a designated thickness range, the number of different values within that range is near infinite;therefore, the searc

Classification of data with imbalanced class distribution has posed a significant drawback of the performance attainable by most standard classifier learning algorithms, which assume a relatively balanced class distribution and equal misclassification costs. This learning difficulty attracts a lot of research interests. Most efforts concentrate on bi-class problems. However, bi-class is not the only scenario where the class imbalance problem prevails. Reported solutions for bi-class applications are not applicable to multi-class problems. In this paper, we develop a cost-sensitive boosting algorithm to improve the classification performance of imbalanced data involving multiple classes. One barrier of applying the cost-sensitive boosting algorithm to the imbalanced data is that the cost matrix is often unavailable for a problem domain. To solve this problem, we apply Genetic Algorithm to search the optimum cost setup of each class. Empirical tests show that the proposed cost-sensitive boosting algorithm improves the classification performances of imbalanced data sets significantly.

Supply chain management (SCM) environments are often dynamic markets providing a plethora of information, either complete or incomplete. It is, therefore, evident that such environments demand intelligent solutions, which can perceive variations and act in order to achieve maximum revenue. To do so, they must also provide some sophisticated mechanism for exploiting the full potential of the environments they inhabit. Advancing on the way autonomous solutions usually deal with the SCM process, we have built a robust and highly-adaptable mechanism for efficiently dealing with all SCM facets, while at the same time incorporating a module that exploits data mining technology in order to forecast the price of the winning bid in a given order and, thus, adjust its bidding strategy. The paper presents our agent, Mertacor, and focuses on the forecasting mechanism it incorporates, aiming to optimal agent efficiency
