We propose a multilevel method to speed highly optimized parallel codes whose runtime increases faster than their workload. This method requires the ability to solve large in- stances by decomposing them into smaller instances. Using a simple parallel computing model, we derive a mathematical model that predicts whether or not our method can im- prove…

The Hausdorff distance (HD) is defined as MAX-MIN distance between two geometric objects for measuring the dissimilarity between two objects. Because MAX-MIN distance is sensitive with the outliers, in face recognition field, average Hausdorff distance is used for measuring the dissimilarity between two sets of features. The computational complexity of HD, and also average HD,…

Bull service is the natural copulation by a purebred male carabao with a female counterpart. This is part of the bull loan agenda of the Philippine Carabao Center-Visayas State University (PCC-VSU), one of the 12 regional centers of PCC. For the past years, PCC-VSU used averaging of bull services count of previous years and sometimes…

In recent years, several projects which are supported by information and communications technologies (ICT) have been developed in the agricultural domain to promote more precise agricultural activities. These projects account for different kinds of key ICT terms such as internet of things (IoT), wireless sensors networks (WSN), cloud computing (CC). These projects are used for…

Air pollution is responsible for increased morbidity and mortality due to respiratory problems mainly caused by long term exposure. Although the emissions of principal air pollutants are highly regulated, there is a lack of information about the real extent of personal exposure for an accurate health impact assessment. To tackle these challenges, local air pollution…

Recent years have seen a continued pattern of development in the cloud computing field. Numerous approaches to maximize file transfer capacity are still completely standing for use on cloud computing storage; however, they do not maximize the advantage of data migration scalability and elasticity in cloud storage. One potential problem is that elasticity takes time;…

Technological developments in the Internet and communications have created a vastly complex and dynamic context with diverse heterogeneous networks and fast growth of mobile devices and multimedia. As the Internet becomes the primary mode of communication for many organisations there is requirement to enhance quality of service (QoS) from heterogeneous systems and networks. Traditional networks…

As an emergent technology in Internet of Things (IoT), the ultimate target of fog computing is to provide a widely distributed computational resources and data repository closer to the network edge providing heterogeneous systems both in terms of software and hardware. The fog system must have the capability to deal with huge number of resources…

This review paper discusses recent research outcomes of fabricating three-dimensional (3D) heterogeneous structures in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuit (IC) technologies to enable smart future chips. The CMOS-based 3D heterogeneous structures demonstrated are vertical magnetic-cored inductors for radio-frequency (RF) ICs, through-back-end-of-line (BEOL) metal wall structures for global flying noise isolation, above-IC nano crossbar array electrostatic…

The currently available variety of modern, highly-parallel universal processors includes multi-core CPU and many-core GPU (Graphics Processing Units) from different vendors. Systems composed of such processors enable high-performance execution of demanding applications like numerical Finite Element Methods. However, today’s application pro- gramming for parallel systems lacks performance portability: the same program code cannot achieve stable…

As well as physical computing, unplugged activity is important in ICT (Information and Communication Technology) education, that uses information and communications technology to support, enhance, and optimize the delivery of information, and software education. In order to achieve educational objectives in unplugged activity, evaluation metrics of learners are necessary. However, there is little work on…

Research is dedicated to fuzzy reconstructions in the diachronic associative linguistics, and encompasses several simulation practices. The principles of an associative memory model and fuzzy computing with words are adopted in the working methodology. The evolved mathematical model reanimates the older patterns of Scottish associative map by means of fuzzy logic. The compiled fuzzy associative…
