Multicast routing is one of the most important services in Multi Radio Multi Channel (MRMC) Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN). Multicast routing performance in WMNs could be improved by choosing the best routes and the routes that have minimum interference to reach multicast receivers. In this paper we want to address the multicast routing problem for a given channel assignment in WMNs. The channels...

in this paper we propose novel algorithms for retrieving dental images from databases by their contents. based on special information of dental images, for better content based dental image retrieval and representation, the image attributes are used. we propose disr (dental image segmentation and retrieval), a content-based image retrieval method which is robust to translation and scaling of th...

In many industrial and non-industrial applications, it is necessary to identify the largest inscribed rectangle in a certain shape. The problem is studied for convex and non-convex polygons. Another criterion is the direction of the rectangle: axis aligned or general. In this paper a heuristic algorithm is presented for finding the largest axis aligned inscribed rectangle in a general polygon. ...

Formation of effective teams of experts has played a crucial role in successful projects especially in social networks. In this paper, a new particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed for solving a team formation optimization problem by minimizing the communication cost among experts. The proposed algorithm is called by improved particle optimization with new swap operator (IPSONSO...

with the explosive growth in amount of information, it is highly required to utilize tools and methods in order to search, filter and manage resources. one of the major problems in text classification relates to the high dimensional feature spaces. therefore, the main goal of text classification is to reduce the dimensionality of features space. there are many feature selection methods. however...

introduction:  breast  cancer  is  a  leading  cause  of  death  among  females  throughout  the  world.  currently,  radiologists are able to detect only 75% of breast cancer cases. making use of computer-aided design (cad)  can play an important role in helping radiologists perform more accurate diagnoses.   material and methods: using our hybrid method, the background and the pectoral muscle...

block ciphers have wide applications for hardware and software implementations. in this paper, a new block cipher algorithm with provable security is proposed. the whole structure of the algorithm is novel and has a good encryption and decryption performance. additionally, it has good security with few number of rounds. the structure of the proposed algorithm consists of 4-rounds feistel-like w...
