چکیده

Given a finite configuration of points in a metric space, a Steiner center (respectively, a centroid) is the point of the space (respectively, of the configuration) that minimizes the sum of the distances from all its elements. Working on the k-dimensional real space endowed with the Manhattan distance, we study the approximate algorithm that takes a point of minimum distance from the Steiner center of a configuration as its centroid. This algorithm is more efficient than all known approximate algorithms to obtain a centroid, and has applications in bio-informatics and economics, where data bases are quite large. Experimental results show that both the magnitude and the frequency of the error drastically decrease as the configuration becomes very large. We determine upper bounds to the magnitude of the error as a difference and as a ratio, and provide arguments to justify the negligible frequency of the error for large configurations.

An Efficient Genetic Algorithm for Task Scheduling on Heterogeneous Computing Systems Based on TRIZ

An efficient assignment and scheduling of tasks is one of the key elements in effective utilization of heterogeneous multiprocessor systems. The task scheduling problem has been proven to be NP-hard is the reason why we used meta-heuristic methods for finding a suboptimal schedule. In this paper we proposed a new approach using TRIZ (specially 40 inventive principles). The basic idea of thi...

A Hybrid Framework for Building an Efficient Incremental Intrusion Detection System

In this paper, a boosting-based incremental hybrid intrusion detection system is introduced. This system combines incremental misuse detection and incremental anomaly detection. We use boosting ensemble of weak classifiers to implement misuse intrusion detection system. It can identify new classes types of intrusions that do not exist in the training dataset for incremental misuse detection. As...

A Heuristic Algorithm for Nonlinear Lexicography Goal Programming with an Efficient Initial Solution

In this paper,  a heuristic algorithm is proposed in order to solve a nonlinear lexicography goal programming (NLGP) by using an efficient initial point. Some numerical experiments showed that the search quality by the proposed heuristic in a multiple objectives problem depends on the initial point features, so in the proposed approach the initial point is retrieved by Data Envelopment Analysis...

An Irregular Lattice Pore Network Model Construction Algorithm

Pore network modeling uses a network of pores connected by throats to model the void space of a porous medium and tries to predict its various characteristics during multiphase flow of various fluids. In most cases, a non-realistic regular lattice of pores is used to model the characteristics of a porous medium. Although some methodologies for extracting geologically realistic irregular net...
