Craniofacial landmark identification provides an important method to obtain the cephalometric analysis and assist maxillofacial surgeries. The focus of this study is to describe the development of a method identifying landmarks on an isosurface visualized from CT generated craniofacial data…

In this paper, we review the research findings in agent communication language (ACL). We then propose our model to develop an agent communication language based on the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA) Standards. The use of communicative acts enables…

A good number of modifications of the conventional Global Histogram Equalization have been proposed, and claimed to have overcome the problem of distortions. However, the previous evaluation focused only on one type of distortion. The resilience to other types of…

Students ordinarily use both domain-dependent (such as seeking specific domain help) and domain-independent (such as trying to relax) strategies in regulating their affective states in learning. By contrast, current affective tutoring systems concentrate on the deployment of domaindependent strategies only…

Information retrieval involves finding some required information in a collection of information or in databases. The information or database need not necessarily be in one language. In other words, language should not limit the finding of information. The way to…

Continuous Collision Detection (CCD) has been widely accepted as the common tool to detect collision between dynamic collisions of rigid and deformable models, especially for use as an accurate collision method. Performing a computationally intensive technique for detecting between two…

In this paper, we present a solution for autonomous agent navigation in unknown virtual environments. A new decision making method using fuzzy logic is proposed. The objective is to solve behaviour conflicts in behaviour-based architectures. Two main problems have been…

SQL Injection attacks are one of the gravest threats for web applications. In this paper, we propose coalesce techniques to mitigate SQL injection attacks and focus on the research of the attack protection module. These techniques are based on a…

This paper describes the feasibility of applying a combination of intelligent approaches of self organizing maps and fuzzy logic in modeling and predicting the growth of total bacteria coliform in tropical lakes. The application of self organizing maps (SOM) in…

In this paper detailed descriptions of the algorithms used in the pre-processing and feature extraction phases of an offline handwritten character are discussed. In classifying handwritten characters, the stages prior to the classification phase play a role as major as…
