Software engineering is an expensive venture to undertake mainly due to not knowing exactly where to focus the reengineering efforts. This is where coupling and cohesion play an important role. Both the metrics, especially cohesion metric, are a potential identification tools that can also measure progress. The current cohesion metrics for classes overlook the characteristics of indirect usage ...

The scalability of cache coherency schemes plays a major role in the overall performance of any scalable distributed system that utilises client data caching. In particular, transactional cache coherency algorithms must be scalable if the systems that are built around them, such as persistent object stores, are to be scalable. The avoidance-based transactional cache coherency [Hughes 1998] algo...

this paper aims at considering formal documents of iranian philosophy of education in independent and comparative manners. the comparative review method was used to achieve this aim. finding of this research demonstrate that, these three documents are different in seven criteria. these seven criteria are: 1) philosophical coherency; 2) proportion with educational practices; 3) relating to islam...

The paper presents a solution for designing a cache coherency state machine for a multiprocessor system with error/correcting capabilities for the unidirectional errors and the used resources implied by a FPGA implementation of our solution. The cache coherency method used is based on the MESI protocol. The implementation is realized with FPGA by using the ALTERA Program.

We propose a novel post processing method for visualization of fiber traces from DT-MRI data. Using a recently proposed non-linear dimensionality reduction technique, Laplacian eigenmaps [3], we create a mapping from a set of fiber traces to a low dimensional Euclidean space. Laplacian eigenmaps constructs this mapping so that similar traces are mapped to similar points, given a custom made pai...

This paper aims to automatically generate a summary of an unedited video, guided by an externally provided music-track. The tempo, energy and beats in the music determine the choices and cuts in the video summarization. To solve this challenging task, we model video summarization as a quadratic assignment problem. We assign frames to the summary, using rewards based on frame interestingness, pl...
