Author 1: Pintescu Alina Author 2: Matei Oliviu-Dorin Author 3: Boanca Iuliana Paunita Author 4: Honoriu Valean

In general, landscape architecture includes analysis, planning, design, administration and management of natural and artificial. An important aspect is the formation of so-called sustainable landscapes that allow maximum use of the environment, natural resources and promote sustainable restoration of ecosystems. For such purposes, a designer needs a complete database with… Read full abstract & cite →

An Enhanced Automated Test Item Creation Based on Learners Preferred Concept Space

Author 1: Mohammad AL-Smadi Author 2: Margit H¨ofler Author 3: Christian G¨utl

Recently, research has become increasingly inter-ested in developing tools that are able to automatically create test items out of text-based learning contents. Such tools might not only support instructors in creating tests or exams but also learners in self-assessing their learning progress. This paper presents an enhanced automatic question-creation tool… Read full abstract & cite →

Characterizing End-to-End Delay Performance of Randomized TCP Using an Analytical Model

Author 1: Mohammad Shorfuzzaman Author 2: Mehedi Masud Author 3: Md. Mahfuzur Rahman

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is the main transport protocol used in high speed network. In the OSI Model, TCP exists in the Transport Layer and it serves as a connection-oriented protocol which performs handshaking to create a connection. In addition, TCP provides end-to-end reliability. There are different standard variants of… Read full abstract & cite →

Improving Vertical Handoffs Using Mobility Prediction

Author 1: Mahmoud Al-Ayyoub Author 2: Ghaith Husari Author 3: Wail Mardini

The recent advances in wireless communications require integration of multiple network technologies in order to satisfy the increasing demand of mobile users. Mobility in such a heterogeneous environment entails that users keep moving between the coverage regions of different networks, which means that a non-trivial vertical handoff scheme is required… Read full abstract & cite →

Performance Evaluation of Affinity Propagation Approaches on Data Clustering

Author 1: R. Refianti Author 2: A.B. Mutiara Author 3: A.A. Syamsudduha

Classical techniques for clustering, such as k-means clustering, are very sensitive to the initial set of data centers, so it need to be rerun many times in order to obtain an optimal result. A relatively new clustering approach named Affinity Propagation (AP) has been devised to resolve these problems. Although… Read full abstract & cite →

Modified Grapheme Encoding and Phonemic Rule to Improve PNNR-Based Indonesian G2P

Author 1: Suyanto Author 2: Sri Hartati Author 3: Agus Harjoko

A grapheme-to-phoneme conversion (G2P) is very important in both speech recognition and synthesis. The existing Indonesian G2P based on pseudo nearest neighbour rule (PNNR) has two drawbacks: the grapheme encoding does not adapt all Indonesian phonemic rules and the PNNR should select a best phoneme from all possible conversions even… Read full abstract & cite →
