Practical and secure outsourcing of matrix computations to the cloud
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Cloud computing enables a cost effective outsourcing of storage and resource-intensive computations. Secure outsourcing of data and computation is challenging in this emerging computing model. In particular, outsourcing ...
Towards model-based management of database fragmentation
(
USENIX Association
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
The performance of a database can significantly deteriorate due to the fragmentation of data/index files. Manual database defragmentation and performance optimization remain time consuming and even infeasible as it requires ...
A framework for optimizing the supply chain performance of a steel producer
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Supply Chain Management (SCM) is focused on developing, optimizing, and operating efficient supply chains. Efficient supply chains are characterized by cost effective decisions, lean flow and structure, high degree of ...
Numerical simulation of thermal buoyant wall jets
(2013 , Conference Paper)
The main focus of this study is on the near field flow and mixing characteristics of the thermal
wall jets. A numerical study of the buoyant wall jets discharged from submerged outfalls from cooling
systems of power ...
An accurate finite volume method using fourth order Adams scheme on triangular grids for the Saint-Venant System
(2013 , Conference Paper)
In this study, a new finite volume method is developed for shallow water equations on a rotating
frame. Most upwind methods, which perform well for gravity waves, lead to large oscillations and/or
numerical damping for ...
A FCM and SURF based algorithm for segmentation of multispectral face images
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose a novel clustering algorithm based on Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) and Speeded-Up Robust Feature (SURF) for multispectral image segmentation. In the experiments, color images and multispectral images from ...
Aqueous electrolyte system for porous silicon using electrochemical anodization
(
IEEE Xplore
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Electrochemical anodization on n-type silicon was performed with silicon as anode and platinum as cathode in a weak-acid aqueous electrolyte containing orthophosphoric acid and ammonium fluoride. Anodization was carried ...

(
SciTePress
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Supply Chain Management (SCM) is focused on developing, optimizing, and operating efficient supply chains. Efficient supply chains are characterized by cost effective decisions, lean flow and structure, high degree of ...
Status quo and critical review of PPV safe limits for subsurface construction blasting close to low-rise buildings
(
Taylor and Francis - Balkema
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Subsurface construction blasting may result sever man-made ground vibrations.Waves generated due to detonating a charge in a solid medium like rock generate particle movement and travel at different wave velocities. As ...
A novel FPGA educational paradigm using the next generation programming languages case of an embedded FPGA system course
(
IEEE Explore
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Embedded systems play vital role in modern applications [1]. They can be found in autos, washing machines, electrical appliances and even in toys. FPGAs are the most recent computing technology that is used in embedded ...
