When establishing lightpaths in an all-optical DWDM network, it is possible that concurrent lightpath requests will block one another if the lightpaths attempt to reserve the same wavelength on the same link. In this paper, we propose a novel signaling mechanism, referred to as label prioritization, which attempts to reduce the backward-link blocking in GMPLS-centric all-optical networks by ass...

Test case prioritization aims to schedule test cases in a certain order such that the effectiveness of regression testing can be improved. Prioritization using random sequence is a basic and simple technique, and normally acts as a benchmark to evaluate other prioritization techniques. Adaptive Random Sequence (ARS) makes use of extra information to improve the diversity of random sequence. Som...

Requirement engineering plays a very important role in software development life cycle (SDLC). Generally Software projects suffer with the problem of various types and categories of requirements and are also delimited by constraints like time and budget. To deal with this type of requirement complexity, project managers need to prioritize the requirements of the proposed software effectively. T...

Prioritization of cancer implicated genes has received growing attention as an effective way to reduce wet lab cost by computational analysis that ranks candidate genes according to the likelihood that experimental verifications will succeed. A multitude of gene prioritization tools have been developed, each integrating different data sources covering gene sequences, differential expressions, f...

Test case prioritization involves scheduling test cases in an order that increases the effectiveness in achieving some performance goals. One of the most important performance goals is the rate of fault detection. Test cases should run in an order that increases the possibility of fault detection and also that detects the most severe faults at the earliest in its testing life cycle. Regression ...

This article elaborates an evaluation of seven software requirements prioritization methods (ANP, binary search tree, AHP, hierarchy AHP, spanning tree matrix, priority group and bubble sort). Based on the case study of local project (automation of Mobilink franchise system), the experiment is conducted by students in the Requirement Engineering course in the department of Software Engineering ...

The aim of this study was to describe the reasoning of people aged 60 years and over about prioritization in health care with regard to age and willingness to pay. Healthy people (n = 300) and people receiving continuous care and services (n = 146) who were between 60 and 101 years old were interviewed about their views on prioritization in health care. The transcribed interviews were analysed ...

Excessive soil loss and sediment yield in the highlands of Ethiopia are primary factors that accelerate decline land productivity, water resources, operation function existing infrastructure, as well management practices. This study was conducted at Finchaa catchment Upper Blue Nile basin to estimate rate erosion prioritize most sensitive sub-watersheds using Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) m...
