An Enterprise Ontology-Based Approach to Service Specification Abstract? the Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) and Universal Description Discovery Integration (UDDI) standards arose as ad hoc standards for the definition of service interfaces and service registries. However, even together these standards do not provide enough basis for a service consumer to get a full understanding of…
An evolutionary approach to complex schema matching Abstract? A special technique, called conditionally matching rules (CMRs), for the representation of transition functions of cellular automata (CA) and its application to the evolutionary design of complex multistate CA. < Final Year Projects > The problem of designing replicating loops in 2-D CA and the square calculation…
An ontology-enabled framework for a geospatial problem-solving environment Abstract?Effective planning, response, and recovery (PRR) involving terrorist attacks or natural disasters come with a vast array of information needs. Much of the required information originates from disparate sources in widely differing formats.< Final Year Projects > However, one common attribute the information often possesses is physical…
Application Checkpointing in Grid Environment with Improved Checkpoint Reliability through Replication Abstract?Grid technologies are emerging as the next generation of distributed computing, allowing the aggregation of heterogeneous resources that are geographically distributed. The heterogeneous nature of the grid makes it more vulnerable to faults which lead to either the failure of the job or delay…
Applying Network Coding to Peer?to-Peer File Sharing Abstract?Network coding is a promising enhancement of routing to improve network throughput and provide high reliability. It allows a node to generate output messages by encoding its received messages. Peer-to-peer networks are a perfect place to apply network coding due to two reasons: the topology of a peer-to-peer…
Attribute-Based Access to Scalable Media in Cloud-Assisted Content Sharing Networks Abstract? a novel Multi-message Ciphertext Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (MCP-ABE) technique, and employs the MCP-ABE to design an access control scheme for sharing scalable media based on data consumers’ attributes (e.g., age, nationality, or gender) rather than an explicit list of the consumers’ names. < Final...
Automated Fiducial Localization in CT Images Based on Surface Processing and Geometrical Prior Knowledge for Radiotherapy Applications Abstract? We propose a novel method for radio-opaque external marker localization in CT scans for infrared (IR) patient set-up in radiotherapy. Efforts were focused on the quantification of uncertainties in marker localization in the CT dataset as a…
Automated Localization of Cysts in Diabetic Macular Edema using Optical Coherence Tomography Images Abstract? A novel automated system that localizes cysts in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). First, in each image, six sub-retinal layers are detected using an iterative high-pass filtering approach.< Final Year Project > Next, significantly…
Automated Question Answering using Semantic Web Services Abstract? Question answering(QA) can vastly improve the quality and effectiveness of knowledge acquisition on the Web. Web search provides a list of documents targeted based on the keywords coined by the users; users need to investigate further the documents to obtain the very knowledge they wanted. QA can…
Automated Real-Time Detection of Potentially Suspicious Behavior in Public Transport Areas Abstract?Detection of suspicious activities in public transport areas using video surveillance has attracted an increasing level of attention. In general, automated offline video processing systems have been used for post-event analysis, such as forensics and riot investigations. However, very little has been achieved regarding…
Automatic Detection of Exudates in Diabetic Retinopathy Images Abstract? According to the increasing consumption of sugar materials in human life and growing trend of the machine life, the prevalence of diabetes is on the rise. It is observed all patients with this disease mostly suffer from decrease or loss their vision. For the automatic diagnosis…
Automatic Image Annotation using Multi SVM Abstract?Image annotation is usually formed as a multiclass classification problem. Traditional methods learn the co-occurrence of keywords and images while they ignore the correlation between keywords, which turned out to be one of the reasons causing poor experiment results.< Final Year Project > In this paper, we propose an…
