RETOOLING OF COLOR IMAGING IN THE QUATERNION ALGEBRA Artyom M. Grigoryan and Sos S. Agaian Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Texas at San Antonio, USA ABSTRACT A novel quaternion color representation tool is proposed to the images and videos efficiently. In this work, we consider a full model for representation and processing color images in the quaternion algebra. Color images are presented in the threefold complex plane where each color component is described by a complex image. Our preliminary experimental results show significant performance improvements of the proposed approach over other well-known color image processing techniques. Moreover, we have shown how a particular image enhancement of the framework leads to excellent color enhancement (better than other algorithms tested). In the framework of the proposed model, many other color processing algorithms, including filtration and restoration, can be expressed.

IMAGE AND AUDIO SIGNAL FILTRATION WITH DISCRETE HEAP TRANSFORMS Artyom M. Grigoryan and Mehdi Hajinoroozi Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, The University of Texas at San Antonio, Texas USA

ABSTRACT Filtration and enhancement of signals and images by the discrete signal-induced heap transform (DsiHT) is described in this paper. The basic functions of the DsiHT are orthogonal waves that are originated from the signal generating the transform. These waves with their specific motion describe a process of elementary rotations or Givens transformations of the processed signal.

Unlike the discrete Fourier transform which performs rotations of all data of the signalon each stage of calculation, the DsiHT sequentially rotates only two components of the data and accumulates a heap in one of the components with the maximum energy. Because of the nature of the heap transform, if the signal under process is mixed with a wave which is similar to the signal-generator then this additive component is eliminated or vanished after applying the heap transformation. This property can effectively be used for noise removal, noise detection, and image enhancement.

MODIFIED ALPHA-ROOTING COLOR IMAGE ENHANCEMENT METHOD ON THE TWO-SIDE 2-DQUATERNION DISCRETE FOURIER TRANSFORM AND THE 2-DDISCRETE FOURIER TRANSFORM Artyom M. Grigoryan 1, Aparna John 1 , Sos S. Agaian 2 1University of Texas at San Antonio, San Antonio,TX 78249, USA 2 City University of New York / CSI ABSTRACT Color in an image is resolved to 3 or 4 color components and 2-Dimages of these components are stored in separate channels. Most of the color image enhancement algorithms are applied channelby-channel on each image. But such a system of color image processing is not processing the original color. When a color image is represented as a quaternion image, processing is done in original colors. This paper proposes an implementation of the quaternion approach of enhancement algorithm for enhancing color images and is referred as the modified alpha-rooting by the two-dimensional quaternion discrete Fourier transform (2-D QDFT). Enhancement results of this proposed method are compared with the channel-by-channel image enhancement by the 2D DFT. Enhancements in color images are quantitatively measured by the color enhancement measure estimation (CEME), which allows for selecting optimum parameters for processing by thegenetic algorithm. Enhancement of color images by the quaternion based method allows for obtaining images which are closer to the genuine representation of the real original color.

AN EFFICIENT HEURISTIC ALGORITHM FOR FLEXIBLE JOB SHOP SCHEDULING WITH MAINTENANCE CONSTRAINTS Mohsen Ziaee∗ Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Bojnord, 94531-55111 Bojnord, Iran

ABSTRACT A parallel restoration procedure obtained through a splitting of the signal into multiple signals by the paired transform is described. The set of frequency-points is divided by disjoint subsets, and on each of these subsets, the linear filtration is performed separately. The method of optimal Wiener filtration of the noisy signal is considered. In such splitting, the optimal filter is defined as a set of sub filters applied on the splitting-signals. Two new models of filtration are described. In the first model, the traditional filtration is reduced to the processing separately the splittingsignals by the shifted discrete Fourier transforms (DFTs). In the second model, the not shifted DFTs are used over the splitting-signals and sub filters are applied. Such simplified model for splitting the filtration allows for saving 2 − 4(+ 1) operations of complex multiplication, for the signals of length = 2^, > 2. .

COMBINING ONTOLOGY DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGIES AND SEMANTIC

WEB PLATFORMS FOR E-GOVERNMENT DOMAIN ONTOLOGY DEVELOPMENT Jean Vincent Fonou-Dombeu and Magda Huisman 1

Vaal University of Technology, South Africa and 2North-West University, South Africa

ABSTRACT One of the key challenges in electronic government (e-government) is the development of systems that can be easily integrated and interoperated to provide seamless services delivery to citizens. In recent years, Semantic Web technologies based on ontology have emerged as promising solutions to the above engineering problems. However, current research practicing semantic development in e-government does not focus on the application of available methodologies and platforms for developing government domain ontologies. Furthermore, only a few of these researches provide detailed guidelines for developing semantic ontology models from a government service domain. This research presents a case study combining an ontology building methodology and two state-of-the-art Semantic Web platforms namely Protégé and Java Jena ontology API for semantic ontology development in e-government. Firstly, a framework adopted from the Uschold and King ontology building methodology is employed to build a domain ontology describing the semantic content of a government service domain. Thereafter, UML is used to semi-formally represent the domain ontology. Finally, Protégé and Jena API are employed to create the Web Ontology Language (OWL) and Resource Description Framework (RDF) representations of the domain ontology respectively to enable its computer processing.

The study aims at: (1) providing egovernment developers, particularly those from the developing world with detailed guidelines for practicing semantic content development in their e-government projects and (2), strengthening the adoption of semantic technologies in e-government. The study would also be of interest to novice Semantic Web developers who might used it as a starting point for further investigations.

ONTOLOGY MATCHING BASED ON HYPERNYM, HYPONYM, HOLONYM, AND MERONYM SETS IN WORDNET

JungAe Kwak and Hwan-Seung Yong, Ewha Womans University, Korea ABSTRACT Considerable research in the field of ontology matching has been performed where information sharing and reuse becomes necessary in ontology development. Measurement of lexical similarity in ontology matching is performed using synset, defined in WordNet. In this paper, we defined a Super Word Set, which is an aggregate set that includes hypernym, hyponym, holonym, and meronym sets in WordNet. The Super Word Set Similarity is calculated by the rate of words of concept name and synset’s words inclusion in the Super Word Set. In order to measure of Super Word Set Similarity, we first extractedm Matched Concepts(MC), Matched Properties(MP) and Property Unmatched Concepts(PUC) from the result of ontology matching. We compared these against two ontology matching tools – COMA++ and LOM. The Super Word Set Similarity shows an average improvement of 12% over COMA++ and 19% over LOM.

ANALYZING THE IMPACT OF VISITORS ON PAGE VIEWS WITH GOOGLE ANALYTICS

Mohammad Amin Omidvar, Vahid Reza Mirabi and Narjes Shokry, Islamic Azad University, Iran ABSTRACT This paper develops a flexible methodology to analyze the effectiveness of different variables on various dependent variables which all are times series and especially shows how to use a time series regression on one of the most important and primary index (page views per visit) on Google analytic and in conjunction it shows how to use the most suitable data to gain a more accurate result. Search engine visitors have a variety of impact on page views which cannot be described by single regression. On one hand referral visitors are well-fitted on linear regression with low impact. On the other hand, direct visitors made a huge impact on page views. The higher connection speed does not simply imply higher impact on page views and the content of web page and the territory of visitors can help connection speed to describe user behavior. Returning visitors have some similarities with direct visitors.

ONTOLOGY GUIDED INFORMATION EXTRACTION FROM UNSTRUCTURED TEXT

Raghu Anantharangachar, Srinivasan Ramani and S Rajagopalan, International Institute of Information Technology, India ABSTRACT In this paper, we describe an approach to populate an existing ontology with instance information present in the natural language text provided as input. An ontology is defined as an explicit conceptualization of a shared domain [18]. This approach starts with a list of relevant domain ontologies created by human experts, and techniques for identifying the most appropriate ontology to be extended with information from a given text. Then we demonstrate heuristics to extract information from the unstructured text and for adding it as structured information to the selected ontology. This identification of the relevant ontology is critical, as it is used in identifying relevant information in the text. We extract information in the form of semantic triples from the text, guided by the concepts in the ontology. We then convert the extracted information about the semantic class instances into Resource Description Framewor (RDF3) and append it to the existing domain ontology. This enables us to perform more precise semantic queries over the semantic triple store thus created. We have achieved 95% accuracy of information extraction in our implementation

AGENTS AND OWL-S BASED SEMANTIC WEB SERVICE DISCOVERY WITH USER PREFERENCE SUPPORT

ABSTRACT Service-oriented computing (SOC) is an interdisciplinary paradigm that revolutionizes the very fabric of distributed software development applications that adopt service-oriented architectures (SOA) can evolve during their lifespan and adapt to changing or unpredictable environments more easily. SOA is built around the concept of Web Services. Although the Web services constitute a revolution in Word Wide Web, they are always regarded as non- autonomous entities and can be exploited only after their discovery. With the help of software agents, Web services are becoming more efficient and more dynamic. The topic of this paper is the development of an agent based approach for Web services discovery and selection in witch, OWL-S is used to describe Web services, QoS and service customer request. We develop an efficient semantic service matching which takes into account concepts properties to match concepts in Web service and service customer request descriptions. Our approach is based on an architecture composed of four layers: Web service and Request description layer, Functional match layer, QoS computing layer and Reputation computing layer.
