Abstract In the present scenario, cloud computing service provides on-request access to a collection of resources available in remote system that can be shared by numerous clients. Resources are in self-administration; consequently, clients can adjust their usage according to their requirements. Resource usage is estimated and clients can pay according to their utilization. In literature, the existing method describes the usage of various hardware assets. Quality of Service (QoS) needs to be considered for ascertaining the schedule and the access of resources. Adhering with the security arrangement, any additional code is forbidden to ensure the usage… More >

Abstract Service pricing is a bottleneck in the development of innovation services, as it is the issue of most concern to the suppliers and demanders. In this paper, a negotiated pricing model that is based on the multiobjective genetic algorithm is developed for innovation services. Regarding the process of service pricing as a multiobjective problem, the objective functions which include the service price, service efficiency, and service quality for the suppliers and the demanders are constructed. Because the solution of a multiobjective problem is typically a series of alternatives, an additional negotiation process is necessary in More >

Abstract The composition of the web service is a common technique to attain the best results of complex web tasks. The selection of appropriate web services, linking those services in the action flow and attaining the actual functionality of the task are the important factors to be considered. Even though different frameworks and methods have been proposed to dynamically compose web services, each method has its advantage and disadvantage over the other. Most of the methods give much importance to the Quality of Service (QoS) but fail to achieve the actual functionality after composition. This paper… More >

Abstract As technology improves, several modernization efforts are taken in the process of teaching and learning. An effective education system should maintain global connectivity, federate security and deliver self-access to its services. The cloud computing services transform the current education system to an advanced one. There exist several tools and services to make teaching and learning more interesting. In the higher education system, the data flow and basic operations are almost the same. These systems need to access cloud-based applications and services for their operational advancement and flexibility. Architecting a suitable cloud-based education system will leverage… More >

Abstract Plagiarism refers to the use of other people’s ideas and information without acknowledging the source. In this research, anti-plagiarism software was designed especially for the university and its campuses to identify plagiarized text in students’ written assignments and laboratory reports. The proposed framework collected original documents to identify plagiarized text using natural language processing. Our research proposes a method to detect plagiarism by applying the core concept of text, which is semantic associations of words and their syntactic composition. Information on the browser was obtained through Request application programming interface by name Url.AbsoluteUri, and it is… More >

Abstract Objective: Cost-of-illness studies in Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) have mainly been limited to hospitalizations. This is the first paper to provide a comprehensive overview from a societal perspective including inpatient and outpatient medical costs, and absenteeism- and unemployment-related societal costs. Methods: A retrospective longitudinal (2006–2015) database analysis was performed in Belgium combining administrative and clinical databases (n = 10,572). Trends in resource use and costs per patient year were standardized to assess the impact of changes in the patient population composition. Generalized Linear Mixed Models assessed the impact of age, sex, lesion complexity, and time.… More >

Abstract The trend in video viewing has been evolving beyond simply providing a multiview option. Recently, a function that allows selection and viewing of a clip from a multiview service that captures a specific range or object has been added. In particular, the freeview service is an extended concept of multi-view and provides a freer viewpoint. However, since numerous videos and additional data are required for its construction, all of the clips constituting the content cannot be simultaneously provided. Only certain clips are selected and provided to the user. If the video is not the preferred… More >

Abstract Road network extraction is vital to both vehicle navigation and road planning. Existing approaches focus on mining urban trunk roads from GPS trajectories of floating cars. However, path extraction, which plays an important role in earthquake relief and village tour, is always ignored. Addressing this issue, we propose a novel approach of extracting campus’ road network from walking GPS trajectories. It consists of data preprocessing and road centerline generation. The patrolling GPS trajectories, collected at Hunan University of Science and Technology, were used as the experimental data. The experimental evaluation results show that our approach More >

Abstract The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has provoked a significant amount of panic due to dramatic changes in daily routines for residents all over China. In response, more than 600 psychological hotlines have been built or modified and have supplied mental health services for the public. Regarding the service quality of the hotlines, a survey has been conducted to investigate the running of hotline services during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results reveal that the more successful hotlines all had better trained hotline counselors, and in the meanwhile, the key features of providing supervision arrangements and More >
