The minimum crossing number problem is among the oldest and most fundamental problems arising in the area of automatic graph drawing. In this paper, eight population-based meta-heuristic algorithms are utilized to tackle the minimum crossing number problem for two special types of graphs, namely complete graphs and complete bipartite graphs. A 2-page book drawing representation is employed for ...

This study considers scheduling in Hybrid flow shop environment with unrelated parallel machines for minimizing mean of job's tardiness and mean of job's completion times. This problem does not study in the literature, so far. Flexible flow shop environment is applicable in various industries such as wire and spring manufacturing, electronic industries and production lines. After modeling the p...

We describe our ongoing research within the EPICOpt project aimed at optimal and near-optimal code generation for explicitly parallel processors. On the one hand, this includes the application of techniques from the operations research domain to decrease the solver time for integer linear programming formulations of code generation problems. On the other hand, we want to investigate when and wh...

The paper is concerned with the computational evaluation and comparison of a new family of conflict-based branching heuristics for evolved DPLL Satisfiability solvers. Such a family of heuristics is based on the use of new scores updating criteria developed in order to overcome some of the typical unpleasant behaviors of DPLL search techniques. In particular, a score is associated with each lit...

Biometrics is automated methods for identifying a person or verifying the identity of a person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic has the capability to reliably distinguish between an authorized person and an imposter. Since biometric characteristics are distinctive, can not be forgotten or lost, and the person to be authenticated needs to be physically present at the point o...

China is a country that is arousing a large amount of interest as a new mega-market, as it opens itself to a market-orientated economy and expands at a remarkable rate. However, the influx of international investment, new business opportunities and advertising from overseas has seen Chinese consumers being exposed to potentially offensive advertising products and images. While some products and...

In the last International Planning Competition (IPC 2011), the most efficient planners in the satisficing track were planners that used unit-cost heuristics. These heuristics ignore the real cost of the actions and return instead an estimate of the plan length to the goal. The main advantage of these heuristics compared with real-cost heuristics is that they solve a greater number of problems (...

Steganography and steganalysis received a great deal of attention from media and law enforcement. Many powerful and robust methods of steganography and steganalysis have been developed. In this paper we are considering the methods of steganalysis that are to be used for this processes. Paper giving some idea about the steganalysis and its method.

This paper presents the various fake currency detection techniques. Fake currency is imitation currency produced without the legal sanction of the state or government. Producing or using fake currency is a form of fraud or forgery. Over the past few years, as a result of the great technological advances in colour printing, duplicating and scanning, counterfeiting problems have become more and m...
