This article deals with the integration of multi-sources information in the context of geographical database updating. We manage aerial photos to obtain information that will be compared with those stored into the database. We also explain why and how this process of updating could help us to index the aerial photo. We propose a common methodology based on Delaunay Triangulation to structure da...

The increasing adoption of process-aware information systems (PAISs) has resulted in large process model collections. To support users having di↵erent perspectives on complex processes and related data, a PAIS should enable personalized process views, i.e., user-specific abstractions of process models. Despite the abstraction achieved through views of the graphical process models, many end user...

This paper presents the dynamic method for fault diagnosis based on the updating of Interval-valued belief structures (IBSs). The classical Jeffrey’s updating rule and the linear updating rule are extended to the framework of IBSs. Both of them are recursively used to generate global diagnosis evidence with the form of Interval basic belief assignment (IBBA) by updating the previous evidence wi...

Gaussian process (GP) is a Bayesian nonparametric regression model, showing good performance in various applications. However, its hyperparameterestimation procedure suffers from numerous covariance-matrix inversions of prohibitively O(N) operations. In this paper, we propose using the quasi-Newton BFGS O(N)-operation formula to update recursively the inverse of covariance matrix at every itera...

Many of the popular clustering methods, such as K-means and Self-Organizing Maps, require a set of initial values to begin the iterative process. In this paper we present a simple and novel method that does not require such an initial set and can avoid the problem of local minima. The clustering strategy we propose is motivated by intuition on clustering. The algorithm stands from the viewpoint...

Neuroimaging studies exploring the neural substrates of executive functioning have only rarely investigated whether the non-executive characteristics of the experimental executive tasks could contribute to the observed brain activations. The aim of this study was to determine cerebral activity in three different tasks involving the updating executive function. The experimental updating tasks re...

The process number is the minimum number of requests that have to be simultaneously disturbed during a routing reconfiguration phase of a connection oriented network. From a graph theory point of view, it is similar to the node search number, and thus to the pathwidth, however they are not always equal. In general determining these parameters is NP-complete. We present a distributed algorithm t...

Vibration based techniques of structural damage detection using model updating method, are computationally expensive for large-scale structures. In this study, after locating precisely the eventual damage of a structure using modal strain energy based index (MSEBI), To efficiently reduce the computational cost of model updating during the optimization process of damage severity detection, the M...
