Swarm Intelligence (SI) techniques were inspired by bee swarms, ant colonies, and most
recently, bird flocks. Flock-based Swarm Intelligence (FSI) has several unique features, namely
decentralized control, collaborative learning, high exploration...
This study defines a new approach for building a Web Services based infrastructure for distributed data mining applications. The proposed architecture provides a roadmap for "autonomic" functionality of the infrastructure hiding the...
With the increasing computational power and the decreasing cost of high bandwidth networks resulted in Distibuted Systems. Distributed Data Mining is being used to analyze and monitor data in distributed systems. In the past, distributed...
Recently, social multimedia-sharing websites, which allow users to upload, annotate, and share online photo or video collections, have become increasingly popular. The user tags or annotations constitute the new multimedia "meta-data". We...
Online organizations are always in search for innovative marketing strategies to better satisfy their current website users and lure new ones. Thus, recently, many organizations have started to retain all transactions taking place on their website,...
This thesis proposes a new method of automatic taxonomy generation using the link structure of Webpages. Taxonomy is a hierarchy of concepts where each child concept is said to be encompassed by its parent concept. Techniques have previously been...
This research project describes the application of a master/slave configuration of processors to study a comparison of alternative material handling configurations for automated manufacturing. Such a study usually requires a large number of...
