Connection of internal scan chains in core wrapper design (CWD) is necessary to handle the width match of TAM and internal scan chains. However, conventional serial connection of internal scan chains incurs power and time penalty. Study shows that the distribution and high density of don’t care bits (X-bits) in test patterns make scan slices overlapping and partial overlapping possible. A novel...

Data extraction from the Web represents an important issue. Several approaches have been developed to bring the wrapper generation process at the web scale. Although they rely on different techniques and formalisms, they all learn a wrapper given a set of sample pages. Unsupervised approaches require just a set of sample pages, supervised ones also need training data. Unfortunately, the accurac...

This work explores the usage of Linked Data for Web scale Information Extraction, with focus on the task of Wrapper Induction. We show how to effectively use Linked Data to automatically generate training material and build a self-trained Wrapper Induction method. Experiments on a publicly available dataset demonstrate that for covered domains, our method can achieve F measure of 0.85, which is...

The ongoing aim behind the work described here is to investigate support for a data centre type environment where an application can be implemented as a composition of components, or workflow. For instance, an application might reuse established components. As is typical in data centre operation, hosting of an application is governed by a Service Level Agreement (SLA) between provider and appli...

This work presents a global geometric similarity scheme (GGSS) for feature selection in fault diagnosis, which is composed of global geometric model and similarity metric. The global geometric model is formed to construct connections between disjoint clusters in fault diagnosis. The similarity metric of the global geometric model is applied to filter feature subsets. To evaluate the performance...

Feature selection is an integral step of data mining process to find an optimal subset of features. After examine the problems with both the filter and wrapper approach to feature selection, we propose a two-phase feature selection algorithm of filter and wrapper that can take advantage of both approaches. It begins by running GFSIC(fi1ter approach) to remove irrelevant features, then it runs S...

In the feature subset selection problem, a learning algorithm is faced with the problem of selecting a relevant subset of features upon which to focus its attention, while ignoring the rest. To achieve the best possible performance with a particular learning algorithm on a particular training set, a feature subset selection method should consider how the algorithm and the training set interact....

Data extraction from web pages is performed by software modules called wrappers. Recently, some systems for the automatic generation of wrappers have been proposed in the literature. These systems are based on unsupervised inference techniques: taking as input a small set of sample pages, they can produce a common wrapper to extract relevant data. However, due to the automatic nature of the app...

Multiple accesses are common for most mobile devices today. This technological advance opens up a new design space for improving the communication performance of mobile devices. Multipath TCP is a TCP extension that enables using multiple network paths between two end systems for a single TCP connection, increasing performance and reliability. Meanwhile, when operating multiple active interface...
