We are investigating the fusion of edge information into Markov Random Fields (MRF) region growing based image segmentation. Our goal is to segment the image in a way that would take edge information into consideration. This is achieved by modifying the energy minimization process so that it would penalize merging regions that have real edges in the boundary between them. Experimental results c...

Sequence comparison is a fundamental task in pattern matching. Its applications include file comparison, spelling correction, information retrieval, and computing (dis)similarities between biological sequences. A common scheme for sequence comparison is the longest common subsequence (LCS ) metric. This paper considers the fully incremental LCS computation problem as follows: For any strings A,...

This paper describes the implementation of a Stub Generation system targeted specifically at C++. It enables distributed C++ applications to be constructed in a straightforward manner with minimal programmer assistance. The system does not require the use of an auxiliary interface definition language but instead processes existing C++ header files to maximise transparency. The generated code ex...

The Event-Driven Process Chain (EPC) and the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) are designed for modelling business processes, but do not yet include any means for modelling process goals and their measures, and they do not have a published metamodel. We derive a metamodel for both languages, and extend the EPC and the BPMN with process goals and performance measures to make them concept...

Today, business process modeling languages as one of the main components of information systems design are discussed. Many of these languages include limitations and possibilities that they cause only certain types of business process can be modeled. Just some of the business processes modeling languages, can support all of perspectives and few of them have real-time descriptions. This study pr...

This White Paper is the first of a series of articles about the benefits of managing terminology in commercial settings. This first issue introduces some basic concepts about managing terminology in commercial settings and some high-level business case strategies. Subsequent issues will provide specific examples of business case metrics that justifies the implementation of a terminology managem...

To achieve the needs of business collaboration between business-related multi-core enterprise clusters based on Software as a Service (SaaS) platform, a multi-core management mechanism based on single-core collaboration relationship and business-related multi-core collaboration relationships were erected for the modern industrial system. On base of implicit authority of business functions, a co...
