XML is rapidly becoming one of the most adopted standard for information representation and interchange over the Internet. With the proliferation of mobile devices of communication such as palmtop computers in recent years, there has been growing numbers of web applications that generate tremendous amount of XML data transmitted via the Internet. We therefore need to investigate an effective me...

Deterioration of reinforced concrete members and their repair methods have been reported in various concrete published reports. Electrodeposition method is one of these repair methods for repairing deteriorated concrete members using an electrochemical mechanism. The purposes of the electrodeposition method are to fill cracks in concrete and to coat the concrete surface by electrodeposits of ch...

In this paper, a production-repairing inventory model in fuzzy rough environment is proposed incorporating inflationary effects where a part of the produced defective units are repaired and sold as fresh units. Here, production and repairing rates are assumed as dynamic control variables. Due to complexity of environment, different costs and coefficients are considered as fuzzy rough type and t...

Repairing techniques for relational databases have leveraged integrity constraints to detect and then resolve errors in the data. User guidance has started to be employed in this setting to avoid a prohibitory exploration of the search space of solutions. In this paper, we present a user-guided repairing technique for Knowledge Bases (KBs) enabling updates suggested by the users to resolve erro...

PURPOSE To evaluate the adhesion to CAD/CAM feldspathic blocks by failure analysis and shear bond strength test (SBSt) of different restorative systems and different surface treatments, for purpose of moderate chipping repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS A self-adhering flowable composite (Vertise Flow, Kerr) containing bi-functional phosphate monomers and a conventional flowable resin composite (P...

Recent approaches to integrity enforcement in active databases suggest not only to check for inconsistencies by triggers but also to utilize triggers to perform repair actions on constraint violations. Typically, respective repairing triggers are derived automatically from constraint specifications following almost fixed derivation strategies. However, in order to incorporate more semantic know...

With the proliferation of ontologies and their use in semantically-enabled applications, the issue of finding and repairing defects in ontologies has become increasingly important. Current work mostly targets debugging semantic defects in ontologies. In our work, we focus on another kind of severe defects, modeling defects, which require domain knowledge to detect and resolve. In particular, we...

—Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol has been widely applied in Wireless Ad-hoc Sensor Networks (WASN). Link breaks often occur in WASN due to the mobility of nodes or other reasons. Only after a link break detected, the route repair scheme in AODV will be initiated to keep the connectivity of network. In this paper, we propose an enhanced Preemptive Local Repairing Mechan...

Data-cleaning (or data-repairing) is considered a crucial problem in many database-related tasks. It consists in making a database consistent with respect to a set of given constraints. In recent years, repairing methods have been proposed for several classes of constraints. However, these methods rely on ad hoc decisions and tend to hard-code the strategy to repair conflicting values. As a con...

FPGAs can be used for the design of autonomic reliable systems. Advantages are reconfiguration and flexibility in the design. However commercial FPGAs are first prone to errors. Second, the design flow is not yet supported for the use of fault tolerance techniques like Built-In Self-Tests. Fault tolerance can be reached through error detection and fault recovery. Most error detection techniques...
