This paper introduces an XML Schema management platform that promotes the use of matching techniques to fulfill the requirements of data integration and data exchange. The existing platforms, in the market, deal only with graphical but not automatic matching. Several matching algorithms were suggested, by different researchers, to automate the correspondences discovery between XML Schemas. Thes...

Schema matching is one of the key challenges in the process of integrating heterogeneous databases which identifies the correspondences among different elements of databases’ schemas. There are several semi-automatic schema matching algorithms, however these algorithms do not exploit most of the available information related to schemas during the process of schema matching which affects on the ...

We show that for any roommate market the set of stochastically stable matchings coincides with the set of absorbing matchings. This implies that whenever the core is non-empty (e.g., for marriage markets), a matching is in the core if and only if it is stochastically stable, i.e., stochastic stability is a characteristic of the core. Several solution concepts have been proposed to extend the co...

In recent years, a considerable number of process model matching techniques have been proposed. The goal of these techniques is to identify correspondences between the activities of two process models. However, the results from the Process Model Matching Contest 2015 reveal that there is still no universally applicable matching technique and that each technique has particular strengths and weak...

In addition to the centralized matching algorithms developed in [19], we present two decentralized matching schemes for the Navy detailing process, decentralized linear programming matching and decentralized random matching, which accommodate the requirements for matching married couples, achieve high ll rate, and ll both priority and undesirable billets. In the decentralized linear programming...

many large oil and gas fields in the most productive world regions happen to be fractured. the exploration and development of these reservoirs is a true challenge for many operators. these difficulties are due to uncertainties in geological fracture properties such as aperture, length, connectivity and intensity distribution. to successfully address these challenges, it is paramount to improve ...

Process model matching techniques aim at automatically identifying activity correspondences between two process models that represent the same or similar behavior. By doing so, they provide essential input for many advanced process model analysis techniques such as process model search. Despite their importance, the performance of process model matching techniques is not yet convincing and seve...

language is a system and every system has rules that govern the structure of its vocabulary. the rules of the arabic language are based on the vowels that consistent with the meanings used in the context represent the words' position. there are some basic rules in addition to vowels which are mostly seen in the written texts. one of these rules is the matching rule that refers to the condi...

background: one of the challenges of pet/mri combined systems is to derive an attenuation map to correct the pet image. for that, the pseudo-ct image could be used to correct the attenuation. until now, most existing scientific researches construct this pseudo-ct image using the registration techniques. however, these techniques suffer from the local minima of the non-rigid deformation energy f...
