In this paper, a novel clustering algorithm is proposed to address the clustering problem within both spatial and non-spatial domains by employing a fusion-based approach. The motivation for this work is to overcome the limitations of the existing spatial clustering methods. In most conventional spatial clustering algorithms, the similarity measurement mainly takes the geometric attributes into...

In this work we consider spatial clustering problem with no a priori information. The number of clusters is unknown, and clusters may have arbitrary shapes and density differences. The proposed clustering methodology addresses several challenges of the clustering problem including solution evaluation, neighborhood construction, and data set reduction. In this context, we first introduce two obj...

"Cadence provides the FPGA-based Protium platform with emulation-like are certainly supportable, with the manual optimizations described above. Yet, the Frank offered some details on the Protium “FPGA-based emulation” methodology. In respect to methodology you of course can refer to the FPGA-based Prototyping Methodology Manual, FPMM. (English and Japanese versions, 英語版と日本語. This survey data is...

Nowadays, agents-based systems are widely used to solve many engineering problems. The characteristics of the agents-based approach enable them to be used for the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) successfully. The proposed system introduces a novel algorithm that uses the agents-based approach for the WSNs to improve their performances. The suggested system has been applied for three WSNs having...

This paper describes a methodology based on the ISO Reference Model for Open Distributed Processing (ISO RM ODP)[1-4] and the UML 1.1[5] notation. The methodology has been developed in the context of several projects concerned with methodology development: DISGIS[6], MAGMA[7] and OBOE[8]. ODP provides the overall framework and a foundation for describing distributed systems. UML provides a flex...

Implementation of enterprise information management systems is still a challenging task for any organization. One of the key challenges within implementation projects is analysis of business requirements and determination of required system capabilities. Traditionally this challenge is overcome by gathering a team of experienced specialists but we would like to propose an alternate solution: us...

Micromachining techniques are being increasingly used to develop miniaturized sensor and actuator systems. These system designs tend to be captured as layout, requiring extraction of the equivalent microelectromechanical circuit as a necessary step for design verification. This paper presents an extraction methodology to (re-)construct a circuit schematic representation from the layout, enablin...

We present a new approach to a componentware development methodology based on a system of process patterns. We argue that organizing the development process by means of a pattern system results in higher flexibility compared to traditional ways of defining development processes. This is especially important in the context of componentware. Finally, we propose a pattern catalog with a selection ...

The paper presents a task-based development methodology for collaborative applications. According to our methodology a collaborative task model may be used during analysis, requirements and design. In order to ensure that analysis information is correctly translated into subsequent development phases a refinement relation is proposed supporting the incremental development of task specifications...

Sensors networks instrument the physical space using motes that run network embedded programs thus acquiring, processing, storing and transmitting sensor data. The motes commercially available today are large, costly and trade performance for flexibility and ease of programming. New generations of motes are promising to deliver significant improvements in terms of power consumption and price — ...
