Recently, Open APIs are getting attention with the advent of Web 2.0. Open APIs are used to combine services and generate new services by Mashup. However, the growing number of available Open APIs raises a challenging issue how to locate the desired APIs. We automatically build ontologies from WSDL, WADL, HTML, and their underlying semantics. The key ingredient of our method is a technique that clusters input/output parameters in the collection of API methods into semantically meaningful concepts, and captures the hierarchical relationships between the terms contained in a parameter. These semantic ontologies allow search engines to support a similarity search for Open APIs based on various protocols such as SOAP, REST, JavaScript, and XML-RPC, and significantly improve the quality of APIs matching by the clustering and hierarchical relationships mechanism.

One approach to testing the suitability of a adhesive joint for a particular application is to build and test to destruction of a representative sample of the joint. The nondestructive test will not measure strength directly but will measure a parameter which can be correlated to the strength. It is therefore, essential that a suitable nondestructive test is chosen and its results are correctly interpreted. In this paper, typical ultrasonic signal analysis in adhesive joints are evaluated together with interface stress from the result of finite element analysis.

Halo merger trees are the essential backbone of semi-analytic models for galaxy formation and evolution. Srisawat et al. (2013) show that different tree building algorithms can build different halo merger histories from a numerical simulation for structure formation. In order to understand the differences induced by various tree building algorithms, we investigate the impact of halo merger trees on a semi-analytic model. We find that galaxy properties in our models show differences between trees when using a common parameter set. The models independently calibrated for each tree can reduce the discrepancies between global galaxy properties at z=0. Conversely, with regard to the evolutionary features of galaxies, the calibration slightly increases the differences between trees. Therefore, halo merger trees extracted from a common numerical simulation using different, but reliable, algorithms can result in different galaxy properties in the semi-analytic model. Considering the uncertainties in baryonic physics governing galaxy formation and evolution, however, these differences may not necessarily be significant.

Most previous studies on improving the effectiveness of CBR have focused on the similarity function aspect or optimization of case features and their weights. However, according to some of the prior research, finding the optimal k parameter for the k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) is also crucial for improving the performance of the CBR system. Nonetheless, there have been few attempts to optimize the number of neighbors, especially using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. In this study, we introduce a genetic algorithm (GA) to optimize the number of neighbors that combine, as well as the weight of each feature. The new model is applied to the real-world case of a major telecommunication company in Korea in order to build the prediction model for the customer profitability level. Experimental results show that our GA-optimized CBR approach outperforms other AI techniques for this mulriclass classification problem.

This paper is concerned with singularly perturbed convection-diffusion parabolic partial differential equations which have time-delayed. We used the Crank-Nicolson(CN) scheme to build a fitted operator to solve the problem. The underling method's stability is investigated, and it is found to be unconditionally stable. We have shown graphically the unstableness of CN-scheme without fitting factor. The order of convergence of the present method is shown to be second order both in space and time in relation to the perturbation parameter. The efficiency of the scheme is demonstrated using model examples and the proposed technique is more accurate than the standard CN-method and some methods available in the literature, according to the findings.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to build COD regression models for the Han River and evaluate water quality. Methods: Water quality data sets for the dry season (as of January) during a four-year period (2012-2015) were collected from the database of the Han River automatic water quality monitoring stations. Statistical techniques, including combined genetic algorithm-multiple linear regression (GA-MLR) were used to build five-descriptor COD models. Multivariate statistical techniques such as principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA) are useful tools for extracting meaningful information. Results: The $r^2$ of the best COD models provided significant high values (> 0.8) between 2012 and 2015. Total organic carbon (TOC) was a surrogate indicator for COD (as COD/TOC) with high reliability ($r^2=0.63$ in 2012, $r^2=0.75$ for 2013, $r^2=0.79$ for 2014 and $r^2=0.85$ for 2015). The ratios of COD/TOC were calculated as 2.08 in 2012, 1.79 in 2013, 1.52 and 1.45 in 2015, indicating that biodegradability in the water body of the Han River was being sustained, thereby further improving water quality. The BOD/COD ratio supported these findings. The cluster analysis revealed higher annual levels of microorganisms and phosphorous at stations along the Hangang-Seoul and Hantangang areas. Nevertheless, the overall water quality over the last four years showed an observable trend toward continuous improvement. These findings also suggest that non-point pollution control strategies should consider the influence of upstreams and downstreams to protect water quality in the Han River. Conclusion: This data analysis procedure provided an efficient and comprehensive tool to interpret complex water quality data matrices. Results from a trend analysis provided much important information about sources and parameters for Han River water quality management.

Rapid Prototyping(RP) techniques have their unique characteristics according to the working principles: stair-stepped surface of a part due to layer-by-layer stacking, low build speed caused by point-by-point or line-by-line solidification to build one layer, and additional posts processing to improve surface roughness, so high cost is required to introduce and to maintain the RP apparatus. The objective of this study is to develop a new RP process, Variable Lamination Manufacturing by using expandable polystyrene foam sheet as part material(VLM-S), and to design an apparatus for implementation of the process. So, the process parameters and design criterions of the apparatus were defined and the techniques were proposed to satisfy the design criterion. Based on the results, a knob-shape, pyramid shape. and a solid block were fabricated on the apparatus in which unit shape part(USP) was generated for building each layer.

In the face space, face images due to illumination and pose variations have a nonlinear distribution. Active Appearance Models (AAM) based on the linear model have limits to the nonlinear distribution of face images. In this paper, we assume that a few clusters of face images are given; we build local AAMs according to the clusters of face images, and then select a proper AAM model during the fitting phase. To solve the problem of updating fitting parameters among the models due to the model changing, we propose to build in advance relationships among the clusters in the parameter space from the training images. In addition, we suggest a gradual model changing to reduce improper model selections due to serious fitting failures. In our experiment, we apply the proposed model to Yale Face Database B and compare it with the previous method. The proposed method demonstrated successful fitting results with strongly illuminated face images of deep shadows.

This paper presents an efficient approach to build an image mosaics from image sequences. Unlike general panoramic stitching methods, which usually require some geometrical feature points or solve the iterative nonlinear equations, our algorithm can directly recover the 8-parameter planar perspective transforms. We use four quasi-feature points in order to compute the projective transform between two images. This feature is based on the graylevel distribution and defined in the overlap area between two images. Therefore the proposed algorithm can reduce the total amount of the computation. We also present an algorithm lot efficiently matching the correspondence of the extracted feature. The proposed algorithm is applied to various images to estimate its performance and. the simulation results present that our algorithm can find the correct correspondence and build an image mosaics.

In order to evaluate service life of RC (Reinforced Concrete) structures exposed to chloride attack, chloride penetration analysis is required referred to the chloride diffusion coefficient from the actual mix proportions. In this work, accelerated diffusion coefficients are obtained from NT BUILD 492 and ASTM C 1202 and the related apparent diffusion coefficients are derived via the previously proposed relationship for RC structures near to sea shore. Considering the properties of the mix proportions and the most conservative analysis conditions like critical and surface chloride contents, service lifes in column and exterior wall member are evaluated through conventional program LIFE 365 ver.2. The different built-up period of 10 and 15 years has no significant effect on service life. The results from mix proportions with slag show longer than 75 years of service life with the help of higher time dependent parameter and lower initial diffusion coefficient.
