By: Jacek Jakieła, Paweł Litwin, Marcin Olech  (3817 reads)
Rating: (1.00/10)

Abstract: Excellence in Supply Chain Management depends on timely and effective translation of market demand into material and products control decisions across Supply Chain. As has been observed many times, this task may be complicated by several technical and business related constraints. Effective decision making processes are essential to execute Supply Chain in such a way that products will be made at lowest possible cost and delivered on time. In most cases, software support has to be used. Supply Chain related decisions are usually poorly structured and therefore only reasonable way to support them is to use simulation tools. The main aim of the paper is to show how Supply Chain Management process can be supported with Agent Oriented Simulation Platform. The case study presented describes in detail the decision situation that is analyzed from scratch, by simulating different scenarios for suggested problem solutions. Finally the paper shows how the analysis of simulation results may lead to final decision solving the problems encountered.

MODELLING AND CONTROL OF COMPUTATIONAL PROCESSES USING MAX-PLUS ALGEBRA
By: Jerzy Raszka, Lech Jamro  (4360 reads)
Rating: (1.00/10)

Abstract: In this paper we propose a modelling technique for the control of computational processes. The Petri Net model, particularly a Timed Event Graph (TEG) can be used for analyzing. The proposed model enables the determination of state equations. The max-plus algebra represents linear algebraic form of discrete systems and supplies new tools to their modelling. We develop a linear mathematical model under constraints in the Max-plus algebra. When using max-plus algebra with TEG, the arc weights are kept equal to one in order to be able to resolve the state equations. Structure of max-plus algebra is equipped with maximization and addition operations over of the real numbers and minus infinity. It can be used appropriately to determine marking times within a given Petri net and a vector filled with marking state at the beginning. Tools of max-plus algebra are useful to investigate properties of network models. Finally, numerical examples show the use of this model.

Rating: (1.00/10)

Abstract: RICHE (Research Inventory of Child Health in Europe) is a platform developed and funded under the Health domain of 7th European Framework Program. The platform search engine is expected to use the multilingual taxonomy of terms for processing and classifying large volumes of documents of the RICHE repository. So far the experts participating in this project have produced the initial version of expert based taxonomy of terms relating to child health (based on existing taxonomies). In the paper we propose a simple man-machine technique for continuous support and development of the existing term list, which consists of three steps: 1) construction of various keyword lists extracted from a topic oriented document set using various levels of word specificity 2) selection of the most useful keyword lists using subjective criteria as a precision of selection and a number of new words 3) manual selection of new terms. Experimental material was represented by documents uploaded from three organizations active in child health improvement policies: World Bank, World Health Organization (WHO), and DG SANCO of European Commission (EC). The selection was performed in order to assess terms used in these documents that may be absent in the RICHE taxonomy. Presented work should be considered as a pilot (feasibility) study. The objective of the RICHE platform is to identify gaps in European child health research, so extensive mapping exercise has been started. Classification of identified studies is essential and cannot be based only on traditional terms of existing taxonomies. Emergent terms (such as for example “cyberbullying”) need to be identified and included into existing taxonomies. In our future work we focus on developing techniques related to multilevel and multiword term selection

Abstract: In this paper, we show how to represent to our formal reasoning and to model social context as knowledge using network models to aggregate heterogeneous information. We show how social context can be efficiently used for well understood tasks in natural language processing (such as context-dependent automated, large scale semantic annotation, term disambiguation, search of similar documents), as well as for novel applications such as social recommender systems which aim to alleviate information overload for social media users by presenting the most attractive and relevant content. We present the algorithms and the architecture of a hybrid recommender system in the activity centric environment Nepomuk-Simple? (EU 6th Framework Project NEPOMUK): recommendations are computed on the fly by network flow methods performing in the unified multidimensional network of concepts from the personal information management ontology augmented with concepts extracted from the documents pertaining to the activity in question.

Abstract: Number of Disciplines and Theories changed their status from status of Natural Science discipline to Mathematics. The Theory of Probability is the classical example of that kind. The main privilege of the new Math status is the conception of Math truth, which distinguishes Math from other theories. Some disciplines used in Applications pretended to be Math not really being it. It is entirely true of Fuzzy Subsets Theory with its pretension to be Math and to be exclusive tools in uncertainty handling. Fundamental pretensions of classical Fuzzy subset theory including pretension to be math as well as some gaps in the theory are discussed in the article. Statistical interpretation of membership functions is proposed. It is proved that such interpretation takes place for practically all supporters with minimal constraints on it. Namely, a supporter must be a space with a measure. Proposed interpretation explains modification of classical fuzzy objects to fill the gaps. It is then possible to talk about observations of fuzzy subset within the conception of modification and to extend likelihood method to the new area. Fuzzy likelihood equation is adduced as an example of new possibilities within the proposed approach. One more interpretation for the Fuzzy subset theory is proposed for a discussion: multiset theory.

Abstract: This paper describes the rationale and partial results of an ongoing experiment aiming to perform analysis and visualization of social and organizational structure of Polish scientific community. Work described in this paper concerns automated extraction of information (related to DSc theses) from Internet based sources and visualization of resulting data set. Primary database that was mined was a scientific information repository “Polish Science (“Nauka Polska” in Polish) maintained by the Information Processing Centre (OPI – “Ośrodek Przetwarzania Informacji” in Polish). The nature of this repository, specifically lack of any data export facility and web scrapping prevention provisions implemented (despite the fact, that database is supported by public funds), complicated data extraction process. However, when finally downloaded, verified and processed the data set proved to be very interesting and valuable, making possible statistical analysis and geospatial visualization. Specifically, this paper describes creation of a software tool able to create geographical maps depicting collaboration between various research institutions in Poland during the process of DSc theses review. It should be regarded as a report on a work in progress. It is a part of larger SYNAT project, being a government funded initiative to create an ICT infrastructure supporting scientific collaboration and exchange of research data in Poland. The results presented herein constitute just a proof of concept for a visualization approach that will be implemented when more detailed data, concerning Polish scientific community, will be collected during other SYNAT activities.

DATABASE SERVER USAGE IN THE SOCIAL NETWORKS ANALYSIS

Rating: (1.00/10)

Abstract: In the field of computer science, topics regarding analysis of social networks grows more and more popular. It stems from the fact that the knowledge hidden in connections between people might enable us to answer many questions concerning various areas of life. When analyzing social networks, we are usually interested in such information as – network structure, how it is managed and what is the scheme of flow of goods or information. When starting a study of processes taking place in social networks it can be noticed that a lot of data subject to analysis is stored in structures of databases. Thus, database server’s capabilities in terms of social network examining and assigning roles to its members are worth analysing. The aim of this paper is to present studies regarding using a database serve to gather data on social networks and mechanisms it provides to specify the type of connections between network elements. One of the tasks of social network analysis is a graphic visualization of connections between various objects existing in the field of interest of a conducted research. The most convenient representation of such is a graph. Ensuring a possibility to gather data for a permanent storage and at the same time effectively operate on them required designing appropriate data structures. It was decided, that the relational database meets the demands. The basic structure of the proposed data model covers vital graph elements along with a description of their qualities. Analysis of social networks presented as graphs poses a challenge when it consists of a huge number of nodes and connections between them. One of the most important functions for presenting a social network is to make it possible to locate and visualize only fragments of the whole graph in order to make analyses more effective. In the research, the mechanism for limiting set of nodes (creating sub-graphs, called paths for the purpose of this research) and for aggregating elements of a graph were prepared. Moreover, problem of graph search was also taken into consideration. The two algorithms, BFS and Dijkstra's, were implemented as a database procedures. Effectiveness of the operation of the first of algorithms was compared with its implementation in the. NET environment as well.

This approach is based on so-called “teaching scenarios” (sequence of teaching units) being constructed during the process of learning. We introduce a tool that builds user adaptable teaching scenarios based on Genetic Algorithms, built-in the Genetic Chooser Algorithm (GCA). These scenarios are being constructed via the quality and quantity characteristics of the teaching units and user’s knowledge. A course-map building tool is also introduced in GCA that helps user to see his /her progress through the course.

Abstract: Perhaps the most efficient of modern didactic policies is e-learning course. E-education shapes the culture of life-long learning and teaching and enables contemporary learners to meet the requirements of the outward reality. Learning is a daunting and time-consuming task. Its final success depends on many factors, so it’s crucial to choose the proper enhancing software, able to adapt the teaching process to an individual learner and able to verify and assess his improvement in learning. According to the Ebbinghausen forgetting curves, reasonably frequent revisions give student both the knowledge and methods of its consolidation: as a result he learns more efficiently. Hence, the salient part of our e-learning system is the neural network able to establish the best possible timetable of revisions. The e-learning system we provide pertains to the knowledge of the Polish orthography. By means of it we have proved, that e-learning is didactically effective only if the educational software is interactive and flexible enough to adjust itself to the user’s needs, requirements and perceptional skills.

Rating: (1.00/10)

Abstract: This paper introduces a new method for analyzing time-series of stock market indexes (Dow Jones, NASDAQ etc) in order to reveal the quantitative level of their interference. In literature, the interference between stock indexes is usually called ‘contagion’. Strictly, contagion – is transmission of shocks from one region to another. In order to prevent destructive effects of crisis it’s very important for the government to predict them. The proposed method consists of two steps: transformation of time series to the space of independent components and clustering in this space using the principle of stability. The contents of clusters just define companies, countries, and regions related by the effect of contagion. To complete the mentioned steps we use: the IcaLab? tool from MatLab? package to construct independent components, MajorClust? method and DEM index for clustering and testing its quality. MajorClust? and DEM were developed in Benno Stein research group. The results of experiments showed the essential advantage of the proposed method over the traditional approach based on formal relations in correlation matrix. Notably, we marked out the groups of market indexes, which were most likely connected via ‘contagion’. Such a conclusion was made using external data like geographical position, level of country development, macroeconomic rates, etc.

Abstract: A model of a mobile setup for shape reconstruction is presented. In this technique, the contouring is performed by laser scanning and image processing. The devices of this setup can be moved to examine occluded areas and small details. The algorithm of triangulation method computes the object dimensions from the deformation of a laser line and the camera position. This model improves the performance and the accuracy of the reconstruction system, because all steps of the contouring are performed by computer algorithms. In this manner, the errors of the physical measurements are not passed to the reconstruction system. This procedure represents a contribution to the methods of contouring based on laser scanning. To describe the accuracy, a root mean square of error is calculated with respect to a contact method. This technique has been tested with real objects. Also the new principle of the shaping the structured illumination suitable is considered for realization of pinpoint accuracy of the noncontact optical measuring systems for determination of the profile to surfaces greater object. Proposed method has no an analogue in Russia and overseas.

Abstract: Agent-oriented models (АОМ) are well-known and are widely used in imitational modeling of economic processes. АОМ allow researchers to take their multicomponent iterative nature into consideration and to avoid difficulties, which may stem from analytical task setting.

The functioning of the suggested АОМ is demonstrated through the use of examples, which admit to simple economic interpretation.
