Agile development methodologies are very promising in the software industry. Agile development techniques are very realistic in understanding the fact that requirement in a business environment changes constantly. Agile development processes optimize the opportunity provided by cloud computing by doing software releases iteratively and getting user feedback more frequently. This research work, ...

Recent studies in parallel computing have mainly focused on physically producing multiple computing sites for computational speed-up and not considered theories and methodologies, which are the essence of parallel computing, and correctness as well. It means that the studies have mostly considered cost-effectiveness, that is, how many computing sites are produced determines how much computing s...

High Speed computing meets ever increasing real-time computational demands through the leveraging of flexibility and parallelism. The flexibility is achieved when computing platform designed with heterogeneous resources to support multifarious tasks of an application where as task scheduling brings parallel processing. The efficient task scheduling is critical to obtain optimized performance in...

This paper discusses generating document structure from annotated media repositories in a domain-independent manner. This approaches the vision of a universal RDF browser. We start by applying the search-and-browse paradigm established for the WWW to RDF presentation. Furthermore, this paper adds to this paradigm the clustering-based derivation of document structure from search returns, providi...

The articles in this issue are divided into two groups: 1) the first group comprises Special Issue on Approximate Computing: Challenges, Methodologies, Algorit...

Soft computing is a synergistic combination of artificial intelligence methodologies to model and solve real world problems that are either impossible or too difficult to model mathematically. Furthermore, the use of conventional modeling techniques demands rigor, precision and certainty, which carry computational cost. On the other hand, soft computing utilizes computation, reasoning and infer...

Cloud computing is a heavy appropriated registering standard. In spite of the fact that, distributed computing is a persuasive standard, access control is one of the principle security issues in distributed computing. Various methodologies for secure access control of outsourced information in distributed computing oblige figure content arrangement trait based encryption (CP-ABE), key-approach ...

Humankind, the dominant species on Earth, faces the most essential and indispensable mission; we must endeavor on a global scale to perpetually restore and improve our natural and social environments. The essential computation in environmental study is context-dependent-differential computation to analyze the changes of various situations (temperature, color, CO2, places of livings, sea level, ...
