Recently, distributed processing of large dynamic graphs has become very popular, especially in certain domains such as social network analysis, Web graph analysis and spatial network analysis. In this context, many distributed/parallel graph processing systems have been proposed, such as Pregel, GraphLab, and Trinity. These systems can be divided into two categories: (1) vertex-centric and (2)...

Southeast Asia is the epicentre of world palm oil production. Plantations in Malaysia have increased 150% in area within the last decade, mostly at the expense of tropical forests. Maps of the aboveground carbon density (ACD) of vegetation generated by remote sensing technologies, such as airborne LiDAR, are vital for quantifying the effects of land use change for greenhouse gas emissions, and ...

Most real-parameter genetic algorithms (RGAs) use a blending of participating parent solutions to create offspring solutions through its recombination operator. The blending operation creates solutions either around one of the parent solutions (having a parent-centric approach) or around the centroid of the parent solutions (having a mean-centric approach). In this paper, we argue that a self-a...

Server-centric data center architecture has been proposed to provide high throughput, scalable construction and error tolerance with commodity servers and switches for cloud data centers. To fully utilize those advantages of server-centric data center, an effective routing algorithm to find high quality multiple paths in Server-centric network is needed. However, current routing algorithms cann...

Currently, there are two mainstream process modelling paradigms: the traditional activity-centric approach and the recent artefact-centric approach. Several approaches have been proposed for configuration of traditional activity-centric business processes; however, to the best of our knowledge, few approaches have been developed for artefact-centric business processes. This paper fills this gap...

The revolution of Internet-of-Things (IoT) is reshaping the modern food supply chains with promising business prospects. To be successful in practice, the IoT solutions should create “income-centric” values beyond the conventional “traceability-centric” values. To accomplish what we promised to users, sensor portfolios and information fusion must correspond to the new requirements introduced by...

Business Process Modeling using artifact-centric approach has gained increasing interest over the past few years. The ability to put data and process aspects on an equal footing has made it a powerful tool for efficient business process modeling. The artifact-centric approach is based on key business-relevant entities called business artifacts, which are central for guiding business operations ...

Artifact-centric process modelling is a promising technology to manage business operations. The Guard-Stage-Milestone (GSM) life-cycle is a declarative approach to specify artifacts and their lifecycles. Currently there’s no approach to manage process variability in the field of artifact-centric business process models. Existing variability management approaches are designed especially for acti...
