Neural Net and Traditional Classifiers

Previous work on nets with continuous-valued inputs led to generative procedures to construct convex decision regions with two-layer perceptrons (one hidden layer) and arbitrary decision regions with three-layer perceptrons (two hidden layers). Here we demonstrate that two-layer perceptron classifiers trained with back propagation can form both convex and disjoint decision regions. Such classif...

.NET to Java Comparison

Microsoft’s .NET Framework, and Sun’s Java HotSpot Virtual Machine are latest achievements in platforms independent of underlying system. Both platforms provide runtime environment that is independent of the underlying operating system and computer architecture, and/or programming language used in application development. .NET Framework provides the crosslanguage operability, but can currently ...

Net Neutrality vs. Net Neutering

Customer Net A Customer Net D Customer Net C Customer Net

As IP technologies providing both tremendous capacity and the ability to establish dynamic secure associations between endpoints emerge, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are going through dramatic growth. The number of endpoints per VPN is growing and the communication pattern between endpoints is becoming increasingly hard to forecast. Consequently , users are demanding dependable, dynamic con-...

Project Portfolio Selection with the Maximization of Net Present Value

Projects scheduling by the project portfolio selection, something that has its own complexity and its flexibility, can create different composition of the project portfolio. An integer programming model is formulated for the project portfolio selection and scheduling.Two heuristic algorithms, genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA), are presented to solve the problem. Results of cal...
