Determining attribute correspondences is a difficult, time-consuming, knowledgeintensive part of database integration. We report on experiences with tools that identified candidate correspondences, as a step in a large scale effort to improve communication among Air Force systems. First, we describe a new method that was both simple and surprisingly successful: Data dictionary and catalog infor...

Many entities managed by HEP Software Frameworks represent spatial (3-dimensional) real objects. Effective definition, manipulation and visualization of such objects is an indispensable functionality. GraXML is a modular Geometric Modeling toolkit capable of processing geometric data of various kinds (detector geometry, event geometry) from different sources and delivering them in ways suitable...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are networks of autonomous nodes used for monitoring an environment. In designing WSNs, one of the main issues is limited energy source for each sensor node. Hence, offering ways to optimize energy consumption in WSNs which eventually increases the network lifetime is strongly felt. Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) is a novel stochastic population-based meta-...

This is the third and final paper in a series laying foundations for theory/methodology of Population-Based Structural Health Monitoring (PBSHM). PBSHM involves utilising knowledge from one set structures population applying it to different set, such that predictions about health states each member can be performed improved. Central ideas behind are those transfer mapping. In context PBSHM, usi...
