    • On Negotiating Automatic Device Configuration in Smart Environments 

      Connell, Kay; Khalil, Ashraf (IEEE, 2004-03)
      It is desirable for mobile devices to automatically configure themselves based on the context of the environment and user preferences for both convenience and security purposes. Having the cell phone switch the ringer off ...

    • A parallel genetic algorithm for identifying faults in large diagnosable systems 

      Elhadef, Mourad; Das, Shantanu; Nayak, Amiya (Taylor & Francis GroupAbingdon, UK, 2005-06)
      This paper deals with the problem of fault identification in large diagnosable systems under the PMC model. Recently, genetic algorithms have been successfully used to solve this system-level fault diagnosis problem; ...

    • Parallel self-diagnosis of large multiprocessor systems under the generalized comparison model 

      Abrougui, Kaouther; Elhadef, Mourad (IEEE, 2005-07)
      This paper deals with the problem of self-diagnosis of multiprocessor and multicomputer systems. We consider the generalized comparison model in which jobs are assigned to pairs of nodes (processors) and the results are ...

    • An Artificial Immune System for Efficient Comparison-Based Diagnosis of Multiprocessor Systems 

      Elhadef, Mourad (IEEE, 2005-07)
      The problem of identifying faulty processors (or units) in diagnosable systems is considered. For the purpose of diagnosis, a system composed of interconnected independent heterogeneous processors is modeled using a ...

    • Distributed computation for neural-based abductive reasoning 

      Romdhane, LB; Elhadef, Mourad (IEEE, 2005-07)
      This work extends a recent model for neural-based abductive reasoning to account for the monotonic class. A problem is said to be monotonic some causes, together, explain the same effect. For this, we developed a new ...

    • Context-Aware Configuration: A Study on Improving Cell Phone Awareness 

      Khalil, Ashraf; Connelly, Kay (Springer Berlin/Heidelberg, 2005-07-05)
      As the number of mobile devices we carry grows, the job of manag- ing those devices throughout the day becomes cumbersome. This is especially true for cell phones. Despite the many benefits they provide, cell phones create ...

    • Implementation and optimisation of ERP systems: A better integration of processes, roles, knowledge and user competencies 

      Worley, J Hermosillo; Chatha, Kamran Ali; Weston, Richard H; ETAL.. (ELSEVIER, 2005-08)
      The implementation of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems is nowadays a key issue for companies. The problems that can appear during their integration, which is always a difficult task, are nowadays better identified, ...

    • Improving Cell Phone Awareness by Using Calendar Information 

      Khalil, Ashraf; Connelly, Kay (Springer, 2005-09)
      The many benefits that cell phones provide are at times overshadowed by the problems they create, as when one person’s cell phone disrupts a group activity, such as a class, meeting or movie. Cell phone interruption is ...

    • Non-monotonic Negation in Hybrid Probabilistic Logic Programs 

      Saad Emad; Pontelli Enrico (2006)
      In [23], a new Hybrid Probabilistic Logic Programs framework has been proposed, and a new semantics has been developed to enable encoding and reasoning about real-world applications. In this paper, the language of Hybrid ...

    • A Framework for Visualizing Association Mining Results 

      Gural Ertek; Ayhan Demiriz (2006)
      Association mining is one of the most used data mining techniques due to interpretable and actionable results. In this study we propose a framework to visualize the association mining results, specifically frequent itemsets ...

    • Logics in Artificial Intelligence 

      Steffen Hölldobler; Carsten Lutz; Heinrich Wansing; J.G. Carbonell; J. Siekmann (Springer, 2006)
      Situated at the intersection of machine learning and logic programming, inductive logic programming (ILP) has been concerned with finding patterns expressed as logic programs. While ILP initially focussed on automated program ...

    • Comments on the Channel Capacity of Ethernet 

      Heal Maher H. (2006)
      Abstract-Ethernet is the most widely used network and many analytical models were developed to predict its capacity. Usually in these models assumptions like infinite population, no back-off algorithm and slotted channel ...

    • A Comment on the Throughput of Non-persistent CSMA 

      Maher H. Heal (Citeseer, 2006)
      A better estimate of the throughput of nonpersistent CSMA without collision detection protocol is obtained by using a bus-star model. A bus when a station initiates transmission and a star when the transmission ends

    • Context-Aware Telephony: Privacy Preferences and Sharing Patterns. 

      Connelly Kay; Khalil Ashraf (ACM, 2006)
      The proliferation of cell phones has led to an ever increasing number of inappropriate interruptions. Context-aware telephony applications, in which callers are provided with context information about the receivers, has ...
