End-to-end automated application design and deployment poses a significant technical challenge. With increasing scale and complexity of IT systems and the manual handling of existing scripts and configuration files for application deployment that makes them increasingly error-prone and brittle, this problem has become more acute. Even though design tools have been used to automated system desig...

Aggregator-activated demand response (DR) is widely recognised as a viable means for increasing the flexibility of renewable and sustainable energy systems (RSESs) necessary to accommodate high penetration variable renewables. To this end, by acting DR aggregators offering trading capabilities smaller customers, retailers unlock additional sources demand-side ensure cost-optimal operation RSESs...

Parallel corpora are the bread and butter of a number of machine translation technologies. Therefore, important efforts are regularly spent in acquiring new ones. This task often involves a rather cumbersome manual inspection and it is rather difficult to set up a strategy that fits all the needs. We thus developed PARADOCS, a system aiming at doing this automatically. Our solution exploits num...

A critical, yet not very well studied problem in medical applications is the issue of accurately labeling patient records according to diagnoses and procedures that patients have undergone. This labeling problem, known as coding, consists of assigning standard medical codes (ICD9 and CPT) to patient records. Each patient record can have several corresponding labels/codes, many of which are corr...

Web includes digital libraries and billions of text documents. A fast and simple search through this sizeable set is important for users and researchers. Since manual or rule based document classification is a difficult, time consuming process, automatic classification systems are absolutely needed. Automatic text classification systems demand extensive and proper training data sets. To provide...

Continuously Heated Greenhouses: A production or retail greenhouse with a constantly maintained temperature of 50 degrees F or more during winter months. Such greenhouse must also have a maintenance attendant on duty at all times or an adequate temperature alarm system to provide warning in the event of a heating system failure. In addition, the greenhouse roof material must have a thermal resi...

in this paper effect of pile-soil consideration in obtaining seismic response offshore structure is assessed due to earthquake loading. inducedseismic force is one of the most important excitations for the dynamic response of an offshore structure. according to api, seismic forces should be accounted in platform design for seismically active regions in order to determine the allowable seismic r...

The width and energy of low-index interfacial boundaries (IFBs) in Ni–Ni3Al are calculated using first-principles methods for temperatures ranging from 0 to 1300 K. The low-temperature, coherent and chemically sharp (100), (110) and (111) IFBs are studied using conventional spin-polarized density functional methods. Cluster expansion methods, as implemented in the ATAT software suite, are used ...
