In the past, most incremental mining and online mining algorithms considered finding the set of association rules or patterns consistent with the entire set of data inserted so far. Users can not easily obtain the results from their only interested portion of data. For providing ad-hoc, query-driven and online mining supports, we first propose a relation called multidimensional pattern relation...

The sequential pattern mining on progressive databases is very new approach, in which many researchers progressively discover the sequential patterns in period of interest. Period of interest is a sliding window continuously advancing as the time goes by. As the focus of sliding window changes, the new items are added to the dataset of interest and obsolete items are removed from it and become ...

This paper describes how to rank refactoring patterns to improve a set of quality attributes of a piece of software. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to express the relative importance of the quality attributes and the relative importance of refactoring patterns in regards to those selected quality attributes. This ranking of refactoring patterns can be used to focus the refactori...

We consider how to support interactive querying over webscale data. The basic approach is to view querying as a two-phase activity: first supply a query template, and later supply specific instantiations of the template. Interactive responsiveness is offered in the second phase only. While instances of this problem have been studied in the past, e.g., OLAP and web search, we pursue a more gener...

Gene expression studies bridge the gap between DNA information and trait information by dissecting biochemical pathways into intermediate components between genotype and phenotype. These studies open new avenues for identifying complex disease genes and biomarkers for disease diagnosis and for assessing drug efficacy and toxicity. However, the majority of analytical methods applied to gene expr...

A topologically-simple Memristive-based Oscillatory Network showing a wide plethora of dynamical behaviors may be a good candidate for the realization of innovative oscillatory associative and dynamic memories for the recognition of spatial-temporal synchronization states. The design of such pattern recognition systems may not leave aside a preliminary thorough investigation of the nonlinear dy...

advection-diffusion equation and its related analytical solutions have gained wide applications in different areas. compared with numerical solutions, the analytical solutions benefit from some advantages. as such, many analytical solutions have been presented for the advection-diffusion equation. the difference between these solutions is mainly in the type of boundary conditions, e.g. time pat...

In 2005, the Canadian Forces’ (CF) Chief of Defence Staff announced the commencement of the transformation of the CF. As with any complex organization, transformation of its structure and processes is not simple. However, the success of such a transition “depends upon leadership first identifying and understanding the thematic components of the past, and then, learning how to adapt and exploit ...
