In this work, attempt is made to select three good hash functions which uniformly distribute hash values that permute their internal states and allow the input bits to generate different output bits. These functions are used in different levels of hash tables that are coded in Java Programming Language and a quite number of data records serve as primary data for testing the performances. The result shows that the two-level hash tables with three different hash functions give a superior performance over one-level hash table with two hash functions or zero-level hash table with one function in term of reducing the conflict keys and quick lookup for a particular element. The result assists to reduce the complexity of join operation in query language from O( n2 ) to O( 1 ) by placing larger query result, if any, in multilevel hash tables with multiple hash functions and generate shorter query result.

We revisit the synchronous model of Wittbold and Johnson of information flow, by investigating the relationship between two notions of information flow: a notion based on counting differently-observable high-level strategies and a notion based on the deductions that the low-level user makes on high-level activity while observing system behavior. We then relate our results to some known models of information flow: we show that bisimulation-based equivalence checking is too strong, since it labels variations in the observation due to system nondeterminism as information flow.We also show that a synchronous, trace-based statement of Generalized Noninterference does not properly capture information flow either. Finally we give a decision procedure for detecting information flow for finitestate systems.

Reuse-based software development provides an opportunity for better quality and increased productivity in the software products. One of the most critical aspects of the quality of a software system is its performance. The systematic application of software performance engineering techniques throughout the development process can help to identify design alternatives that preserve desirable qualities such as extensibility and reusability while meeting performance objectives. In the present scenario, most of the performance failures are due to a lack of consideration of performance issues early in the development process, especially in the design phase. These performance failures results in damaged customer relations, lost productivity for users, cost overruns due to tuning or redesign, and missed market windows. In this paper, we propose UML based Performance Models for design assessment in a reuse based software development scenario.

The debiting process of the remarkable properties materials can be managed through unconventional technologies as the complex electrical erosion. We present the modeling of the previous experimental results to obtain a mathematical dependence of the output parameters (processing time, surface quality) on the input parameters (voltage or current). All the experimental data are memorized on a database and for each particular debiting process a new dependence is built. Because all the experiments applied in the Romanian laboratories or practical applications of the nonconventional technological processes in the factories were based on the particular conditions of one activity, this papers presents the technical implementation of a computer-aided solution that keeps all previous experimental data, optimizes the processing conditions and eventual manage the driving gear. The flow-chart we present in this paper offers a solution for practitioners to reduce the electrical consumption while a technological processing of special materials is necessary. The computer program and the database can be easily adapted to any technological processes (conventional or not).

This paper introduces the notion of fuzzy process as a formalism for the idea of fuzzy contact between a device and its environment. The notions of absolute correctness and relative correctness are defined. In order to work with concurrency it has been built an approach to manipulate the interactive processes as a single process and the resulted behavior has been observed.

The paper starts from the observation on the complexity of the manipulation of fuzzy processes that increases very rapidly with the extents of the processes representation. Therefore, a productive approach is to divide the problem into smaller parts, treated separately and then the results combined. Some algebraic results obtained by the authors are presented.

The convergence of the projection algorithm for solving the convex feasibility problem for a family of closed convex sets, is in connection with the regularity properties of the family. In the paper [18] are pointed out four cases of such a family depending of the two characteristics: the emptiness and boudedness of the intersection of the family. The case four (the interior of the intersection is empty and the intersection itself is bounded) is unsolved. In this paper we give a (partial) answer for the case four: in the case of two closed convex sets in ℝ3 the regularity property holds.

The archaeological site Cornesti “Iarcuri” is the largest earth fortification in Romania, made out of four concentric compounds, spreading over 1780 hectares. It is known since 1700, but it had only a few small attempts of systematic research, the fortress gained interest only after the publishing of some satellite images by Google Earth. It is located in an area of high fields and it occupies three interfluves and contains two streams. Our paper contains a geomorphologic, topographic and cartographic analysis of the site in order to determine the limits, the structure, the morphology, the construction technique and the functionality of such a fortification. Our research is based on satellite image analysis, on archaeological topography, on soil, climate and vegetation analysis as a way to offer a complex image, through this interdisciplinary study of landscape archaeology. Through our work we try not to date the site as this objective will be achieved only after completing the systematic excavations which started in 2007, but only to analyze the co-relationship with the environment.

In this research, we propose an architectural solution to implement the voice over IP (VoIP) service in campus environment network. Voice over IP (VoIP) technology has become a discussion issue for this time being. Today, the deployment of this technology on an organization truly can give a great financial benefit over traditional telephony. Therefore, this study is to analyze the VoIP Codec selection and investigate the Mean Opinion Score (MOS) performance areas evolved with the quality of service delivered by soft phone and IP phone. This study focuses on quality of voice prediction such as i) accuracy of MOS between automated system and human perception and ii) different types of codec performance measurement via human perception using MOS technique. In this study, network management system (NMS) is used to monitor and capture the performance of VoIP in campus environment. In addition, the most apparent of implementing soft phone and IP phone in campus environment is to define the best codec selection that can be used in operational environment. Based on the finding result, the MOS measurement through automated and manual system is able to predict and evaluate VoIP performance. In addition, based on manual MOS measurement, VoIP conversations over LAN contribute more reliability and availability performance compare to WAN.

Today, it is important for software companies to build software systems in a short time-interval, to reduce costs and to have a good market position. Therefore well organized and systematic development approaches are required. Reusing software components, which are well tested, can be a good solution to develop software applications in effective manner. The reuse of software components is less expensive and less time consuming than a development from scratch. But it is dangerous to think that software components can be match together without any problems. Software components itself are well tested, of course, but even if they composed together problems occur. Most problems are based on interaction respectively communication. Avoiding such errors a framework has to be developed for analysing software components. That framework determines the compatibility of corresponding software components. The promising approach discussed here, presents a novel technique for analysing software components by applying an Abstract Syntax Language Tree (ASLT). A supportive environment will be designed that checks the compatibility of black-box software components. This article is concerned to the question how can be coupled software components verified by using an analyzer framework and determines the usage of the ASLT. Black-box Software Components and Abstract Syntax Language Tree are the basis for developing the proposed framework and are discussed here to provide the background knowledge. The practical implementation of this framework is discussed and shows the result by using a test environment.

The paper examines a partial order on bipartite graphs (X1, X2, E) with n vertices, X1∪X2={1,2,…,n}. The basis of such bipartite graph is X1 = {1,2,…,k}, 0≤k≤n. If U = (X1, X2, E(U)) and V = (Y1,Y2, E(V)) then U≤V iff |X1| ≤ |Y1| and {(i,j)E(U): j>|Y1|} = ={(i,j)E(V):i≤|X1|}. This partial order is a natural partial order of subobjects of an object in a triangular category with bipartite graphs as morphisms.

The avalanche quantity of the information developed by mankind has led to concept of automation of knowledge extraction – Data Mining ([1]). This direction is connected with a wide spectrum of problems - from recognition of the fuzzy set to creation of search machines. Important component of Data Mining is processing of the text information. Such problems lean on concept of classification and clustering ([2]). Classification consists in definition of an accessory of some element (text) to one of in advance created classes. Clustering means splitting a set of elements (texts) on clusters which quantity are defined by localization of elements of the given set in vicinities of these some natural centers of these clusters. Realization of a problem of classification initially should lean on the given postulates, basic of which – the aprioristic information on primary set of texts and a measure of affinity of elements and classes.
