The fractional weak discrepancy of a poset P , written wdF (P ), is the least k such that some f : P → R satisfies f(y)− f(x) ≥ 1 for x ≺ y and |f(y)− f(x)| ≤ k for x‖y. We determine the minimal forbidden subposets for the property wdF (P ) ≤ k when k is an integer.

OBJECTIVES Technological advances using telemedicine and telehealth are growing in healthcare fields, but the evaluation framework for them is inconsistent and limited. This paper suggests a comprehensive evaluation framework for telemedicine system implementation and will support related stakeholders' decision-making by promoting general understanding, and resolving arguments and controversies...

In this paper, principles and existing feature selection methods for classifying and clustering data be introduced. To that end, categorizing frameworks for finding selected subsets, namely, search-based and non-search based procedures as well as evaluation criteria and data mining tasks are discussed. In the following, a platform is developed as an intermediate step toward developing an intell...

This paper introduces incoming evaluation frameworks for bimodal speech recognition in noisy conditions and real environments. In order to develop a robust speech recognition in noisy environments, bimodal speech recognition which uses acoustic and visual information has been paid attention to particularly for this decade. As a lot of methods and techniques for bimodal speech recognition have b...

A service ecosystem is a marketplace for trading services in which services are developed, published, sold and used. Service ecosystems have changed the way of service delivery and service consumption among actors/parties, who perform specific roles for the operation of the ecosystems. Such actors, being service providers, consumers, mediators and intermediaries, ensure the livelihood of the ec...
