Among the most important expected benefits of a global service oriented architecture leveraging web service standards is an increased level of automation in the discovery, composition, verification, monitoring and recovery of services for the realization of complex processes. Most existing works addressing this issue are based on the Ontology Web Language for Services (OWL-S) and founded on des...

despite diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic advances, growing incidence of cancer and high rate of mortality among patients affected by specific cancer types indicate current clinical measures are not ideally useful in eradicating cancer. chemoresistance and subsequent disease relapse are believed to be mainly driven by the cell-molecular heterogeneity of human tumors that necessitates perso...

the rapid growing of information technology (it) motivates and makes competitive advantages in health care industry. nowadays, many hospitals try to build a successful customer relationship management (crm) to recognize target and potential patients, increase patient loyalty and satisfaction and finally maximize their profitability. many hospitals have large data warehouses containing customer ...

the ability to discover services in mobile ad hoc network (manet) is a major prerequisite. cluster basedcross layer intelligent service discovery for manet (cbisd) is cluster based architecture, caching ofsemantic details of services and intelligent forwarding using network layer mechanisms. the cluster basedarchitecture using semantic knowledge provides scalability and accuracy. also, the mini...

background and objectives: arteriovenous fistula is a popular vascular access method for surgical treatmentof hemodialysis patients. the method, however, is associated with a high rate of early failure varying in the range of 20-60%. predicting early arteriovenous fistula failure and its risk factors can help reduce its incidence, its hospitalization rate, and associated costs. in this study, w...

In this paper, an experiment was conducted to study the learning performance when new knowledge in groups with e-book system and a meaningful discovery support environment. The participants studied target pairs; at first, all points that appear were displayed learners each pair encouraged actively create relations between concepts together; after completing task, they can compare their learner-...

Farming is one of the activities that have a business opportunity. One is raising ducks. The main results can be obtained from the breeding duck is a duck meat and eggs for consumption and also means praying ceremony in Bali, as well as duck egg shells that can be used for jewelry.

Utilizing expert input often improves clustering performance. However in a knowledge discovery problem, ground truth is unknown even to an expert. Thus, instead of one expert, we solicit the opinion from multiple experts. The key question motivating this work is: which experts should be assigned higher weights when there is disagreement on whether to put a pair of samples in the same group? To ...
