The goal is to develop a novel approach for cardiac disease prediction and diagnosis using intelligent agents. Initially the symptoms are preprocessed using filter and wrapper based agents. The filter removes the missing or irrelevant symptoms. Wrapper is used to extract the data in the data set according to the threshold limits. Dependency of each symptom is identified using dependency checker...

To simplify the task of obtaining information from the vast number of information sources that are available on the World Wide Web (WWW), we are building tools to build information mediators for extracting and integrating data from multiple Web sources. In a mediator based approach, wrappers are built around individual information sources, that provide translation between the mediator query lan...

Many industrial and real-world datasets suffer from an unavoidable problem of missing values. The problem of missing data has been addressed extensively in the statistical analysis literature, and also, but to a lesser extent in the classification literature. The ability to deal with missing data is an essential requirement for classification because inadequate treatment of missing data may lea...

A common approach for serving Linked Data is to modify existing services to translate and export the underlying data as RDF. However, for many existing data sources on the web such an approach is not feasible: large installations might not be suitable for the changes necessary, programmers possibly are not able to adapt the software, or the data might not be suited for direct translation to RDF...

Glia play crucial roles in ensheathing axons, a process that requires an intricate series of glia-neuron interactions. The membrane-anchored protein Wrapper is present in Drosophila midline glia and is required for ensheathment of commissural axons. By contrast, Neurexin IV is present on the membranes of neurons and commissural axons, and is highly concentrated at their interfaces with midline ...

In this paper we propose a method to generate pausible clock based GALS wrapper circuits from the synchronous module’s Verilog specification code automatically. We first parse the input module specification and produce wrapper circuit components based on the specification of entered synchronous module. Existing methods for generation of the wrapper circuit waste the die size because they instan...

Password is the most widely used identity verification method in computer security domain. However, due to its simplicity, it is vulnerable to imposter attacks. One way to add a shield to password is to employ keystroke dynamics, which is a biometric-based approach. Without manual preprocessing to remove noises and outliers resulted from typing inconsistencies, a poor detection accuracy results...

A main memory object-relational database system, AMOS II, has been developed at Uppsala Database Laboratory (UDBL). The system provides common database facilities and a powerful query language but also, through it’s mediator-wrapper approach, features for the combination of data from heterogeneous data sources. The AMOS II query processor is extensible through a generalized foreign function mec...

BACKGROUND State-of-the-art signal processing methods are known to detect information in single-trial event-related EEG data, a crucial aspect in development of real-time applications such as brain computer interfaces. This paper investigates one such novel approach, evaluating how individual classifier and feature subset tailoring affects classification of single-trial EEG finger movements. Th...

Comparison shopping is a merchant brokering process that provides the information about a specific product from several distributed shopping mall sites. The implementation of a comparison shopping agent is a challenging issue mainly because different on-line shopping malls employ their own way of organizing interface components, processing user queries, and displaying search results on the brow...
