In this paper, we consider how to hide information into finite state machine (FSM), one of the popular computation models. The key advantage of hiding information in FSM is that the hidden information becomes inexpensive to retrieve, yet still hard to remove or delete. This is due to the fact that verifying certain FSM properties is easy, but changing them requires efforts equivalent to redoing...

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of replacing fish meal protein with fermented soybean meal (FSM) in diets on growth performance, feed utilization, morphological parameters, body composition, activities of antioxidant and digestive enzymes and also blood biochemistry of juvenile olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). Five isonitrogenic and isolipidic diets were prepare...

In the present report, we provide an illustrative review of the Family Stress Model (FSM) framework [1] to understand how family stress influences children across development in physical, social-emotional, and cognitive domains. We note that the FSM as a theory has evolved through inspection of: (a) new explanatory pathways (mediators); (b) factors that moderate FSM pathways; and (c) joint test...

In this paper, we consider a test derivation strategy for testing protocol implementations based on Finite State Machines with timeouts. The strategy is applied for testing TFTP implementations. Keywords-Finete State Machine (FSM); FSM with timeouts (timed FSM); transition tour

A hybrid optimization algorithm combining finite state method (FSM) and genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed to solve the crude oil scheduling problem. The FSM and GA are combined to take the advantage of each method and compensate deficiencies of individual methods. In the proposed algorithm, the finite state method makes up for the weakness of GA which is poor at local searching ability. The he...

Fuzzy semantic model (FSM) is a data model that uses basic concepts of semantic modeling and supports handling fuzziness, uncertainty and imprecision of real-world at the attribute, entity and class levels. The paper presents the principles and constructs of the FSM. It proposes ways to define the membership functions within all the constructs of the FSM. In addition, it provides a proposal for...

This paper presents a new approach to model and test hierarchical Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). We exploit the structure of Hierarchical Finite State Machines (HFSMs) to reduce the number of states in the ”flat” Finite State Machine (FSM) resulting from the exploration of the model. Firstly, independent dialogs are identified and highlighted in a HFSM built from the FSM. Then, the portion o...

Itemset share has been proposed to evaluate the significance of itemsets for mining association rules in databases. The Fast Share Measure (FSM) algorithm is one of the best algorithms to discover all share-frequent itemsets efficiently. However, FSM is fast only when dealing with small datasets. In this study, we shall propose a revised version of FSM, called the Enhanced FSM (EFSM) algorithm ...
