Parallelization of Generic PSO Java Code Using MPJExpress
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Many scientific, engineering and economic problems involve the optimization of a set of parameters. The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is one of the new techniques that have been empirically shown to perform well. The ...
Simulating Multi-Agent Decision Making for a Self Healing Smart Grid
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Dynamic real-time power systems like the national power grid operate in continuously changing environments such as adverse weather conditions, power line malfunctions, device failures, etc. These disruptions can lead to ...
A Distributed Linear Programming Model in a Smart Grid
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Advances in computing and communication have resulted in large-scale distributed environments in recent years. They are capable of storing large volumes of data and, often, have multiple compute nodes. However, the inherent ...
Agent-Based Modeling to Simulate the Movement of a Flock of Birds
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The most beautiful, mysterious movements of bird flocks have always amused the human and led his thinking towards what makes these complex movements possible. This paper discusses the simulation of such bird behavior based ...
Study of Similarity Coefficients Using MapReduce Programming Model
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
MapReduce is a programming model for processing and generating large data sets. Users specify a map function that processes a key/value pair to generate a set of intermediate key/value pairs, and a reduce function that ...
Optimization Modeling for Wireless Sensor Scheduling
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Wireless sensor networks, consisting of sensing devices which sense the environment and communicate information among each other, is an emergent field in wireless networking with many potential applications. The efficiency ...
Replication with Incentives in Centralized Peer to Peer Networks
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
We are living in a digital age in which data production has become so ubiquitous that the demand for sharing will increase as more aspects of life become digital. There are several ways we share data: via websites and ...
Mining Semantic Relationships Between Concepts Across Documents Using Wikipedia Knowledge
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The ongoing astounding growth of text data has created an enormous need for fast and efficient Text Mining algorithms. However, the sparsity and high dimensionality of text data present great challenges for representing ...
A Decision Model for Emergency Response
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
In the real world, emergencies occur at different places. The emergencies fall into three categories: a fire emergency, a medical emergency, and a police emergency. Different emergencies occur at different places at different ...
Developing a Software Tool to Enhance the Creativity during Software Development Using the Results from the Literature Review
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Success during software development depends on the creativity of software engineers. Knowledge plays a very important role in enhancing the creativity of software developers. Knowledge is available in different forms like ...
