The statistical synthesis of quantitative effects within primary studies via meta-analysis is an important analytical technique in the scientific toolkit modern researchers. As with any method or technique, knowledge weaknesses that might render findings limited potentially erroneous as well strategies by which to mitigate these biases essential for high-quality evidence. In this paper, we focu...

Dependency parser is one of the most important fundamental tools in the natural language processing, which extracts structure of sentences and determines the relations between words based on the dependency grammar. The dependency parser is proper for free order languages, such as Persian. In this paper, data-driven dependency parser has been developed with the help of phrase-structure parser fo...

In some applications of opinion mining in text, it is important to distinguish what an author is talking about from the subjective stance towards the topic. Therefore, it needs to find the relation between sentiment expression and target. This paper proposes a novel method based on dependency grammars to mine the relation. In this method, the process of mining the relations is turned into a pro...

This paper presents a survey of Dependency Analysis of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) based systems. SOA presents newer aspects of dependency analysis due to its different architectural style and programming paradigm. This paper surveys the previous work taken on dependency analysis of service oriented systems. This study shows the strengths and weaknesses of current approaches and tools a...

ABSTRACT Large scale computer networks consist of a vast number of interoperating services. Often, the interchange between those services is not documented leading to a variety of issues. Network dependency analysis aims to automate service dependency discovery. In this work several different approaches to network dependency analysis, ranging from active to passive approaches, will be introduce...

Along with a continuously growing number of publicly available Web services (WS), we are witnessing a rapid development in semantic-related web technologies, which lead to the apparition of semantically described WS. In this work, we perform a comparative analysis of the syntactic and semantic approaches used to describe WS, from a complex network perspective. First, we extract syntactic and se...

Program dependency analysis is an analysis technique to identify and determine various program dependencies in program source codes. It is an important approach to testing, understanding, maintaining and transforming programs. But, there are still many difficulties to be solved when carrying out dependency analysis for concurrent programs because the execution of statements is unpredictable. In...
