Marine transportation in Aegean Sea, a part of the Mediterranean Sea that serves as gateway between three continents has recently seen a significant increase. Despite the commercial benefits to the region, there are certain issues related to the pres...

A lot of research work has studied the auction mechanism of uncertain advertising cooperation between the e-commerce platform and advertisers, but little has focused on pricing strategy in stable advertising cooperation under a certain market power s...

For an energy-harvesting wireless transmission system, considering that a transmitter which can harvest energy from nature has two kinds of extra energy consumption, circuit consumption and storage losses, the optimization models are set up in this p...

Machine translation is used in many applications in everyday life. Due to the increase of translated documents that need to be organized as useful or not (for building a translation model), the automated categorization of texts (classification), is a...

Let k denote an integer greater than 2, let G denote a k-partite graph, and let S denote the set of all maximal k-partite cliques in G. Several open questions concerning the computation of S are resolved. A straightforward and highly-scalable modific...

As an important angle sensor of the opto-electric platform, gyro output accuracy plays a vital role in the stabilization and track accuracy of the whole system. It is known that the generally used fixed-bandwidth filters, single neural network models...

Quality of service multicast routing is an important research topic in networks. Research has sought to obtain a multicast routing tree at the lowest cost that satisfies bandwidth, delay and delay jitter constraints. Due to its non-deterministic poly...

This paper develops an automated algorithm to process input data for segmented string relative rankings (SSRRs). The purpose of the SSRR methodology is to create rankings of countries, companies, or any other units based on surveys of expert opinion....

In this paper, a robust guaranteed-cost preview repetitive controller is proposed for a class of polytopic uncertain discrete-time systems. In order to improve the tracking performance, a repetitive controller, combined with preview compensator, is i...

Rigorous peer-review is the corner-stone of high-quality academic publishing [...]

Nowadays, dynamic parameter adaptation has been shown to provide a significant improvement in several metaheuristic optimization methods, and one of the main ways to realize this dynamic adaptation is the implementation of Fuzzy Inference Systems. Th...

Pansharpening is a domain-specific task of satellite imagery processing, which aims at fusing a multispectral image with a corresponding panchromatic one to enhance the spatial resolution of multispectral image. Most existing traditional methods fuse...

This paper proposes total optimization of energy networks in a smart city by multi-population global-best modified brain storm optimization (MP-GMBSO). Efficient utilization of energy is necessary for reduction of CO₂ emission, and smart city demonst...

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes and is known as visual impairment, and is diagnosed in various ethnicities of the working-age population worldwide. Fundus angiography is a widely applicable modality used by ophthalmologists an...

Link prediction is a task predicting whether there is a link between two nodes in a network. Traditional link prediction methods that assume handcrafted features (such as common neighbors) as the link’s formation mechanism are not universal. Ot...

Software defect prediction is an important means to guarantee software quality. Because there are no sufficient historical data within a project to train the classifier, cross-project defect prediction (CPDP) has been recognized as a fundamental appr...

In this paper, a novel approach to facial expression recognition based on the discrete separable shearlet transform (DSST) and normalized mutual information feature selection is proposed. The approach can be divided into five steps. First, all test a...

In this study, fifth-order and sixth-order diagonally implicit Runge–Kutta type (DIRKT) techniques for solving fourth-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are derived which are denoted as DIRKT5 and DIRKT6, respectively. The first metho...

This paper presents a comparison among the bee colony optimization (BCO), differential evolution (DE), and harmony search (HS) algorithms. In addition, for each algorithm, a type-1 fuzzy logic system (T1FLS) for the dynamic modification of the main p...

Discriminative correlation filters (DCFs) have been shown to perform superiorly in visual object tracking. However, visual tracking is still challenging when the target objects undergo complex scenarios such as occlusion, deformation, scale changes a...

Images may be corrupted by salt and pepper impulse noise during image acquisitions or transmissions. Although promising denoising performances have been recently obtained with sparse representations, how to restore high-quality images remains challen...

MapReduce is a parallel computing model in which a large dataset is split into smaller parts and executed on multiple machines. Due to its simplicity, MapReduce has been widely used in various applications domains. MapReduce can significantly reduce...

Considering the linear motion of particleboards in the production line, the detection of surface defects in particleboards is a major challenge. In this paper, a method based on moving target tracking is proposed for the detection of surface defects...

Path planning of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in threatening and adversarial areas is a constrained nonlinear optimal problem which takes a great amount of static and dynamic constraints into account. Quantum-behaved pigeon-inspired optimization (...

The amount of information currently generated in the world has been increasing exponentially, raising the question of whether all acquired data is relevant for the learning algorithm process. If a subset of the data does not bring enough innovation,...
