Influential Researcher Identification in Academic Network Using Rough Set
Based Selection of Time-Weighted Academic and Social Network Features

India), Kavitha V. (Anna University, Department of Computer Science, Tamil
Nadu, India), Geetha T.V. (Anna University, Department of Computer Science,
Tamil Nadu, India)

Researchers entering into a new research area are interested in knowing the
current research trends, popular publications and influential (popular)
researchers in that area in order to initiate their research. In this work,
we attempt to determine the influential researcher for a specific topic. The
active participation of the researchers in both the academic and social
network activities signifies the researchers' influence level across time.
The content and frequency of social interaction to a researcher reflects his
or her influence. In our system, appropriate time-based social and academic
features are selected using entropy based feature selection approach of
rough set theory. A three layer model comprising semantically related
concepts, researcher and social relations is developed based on the
appropriate (influential) features. The researchers' topic trajectories are
identified and recommended using Spreading activation algorithm. To cope up
with the scalable academic network, map reduce paradigm has been employed in
the spreading activation algorithm.

Materialized View Selection using Artificial Bee Colony Optimization

Biri Arun (Jawaharlal Nehru University, School of Computer and Systems
Sciences, New Delhi, India), T.V. Vijay Kumar (Jawaharlal Nehru University,
School of Computer and Systems Sciences, New Delhi, India)

Data warehouse is an essential component of almost every modern enterprise
information system. It stores huge amount of subject-oriented, time-stamped,
non-volatile and integrated data. It is highly required of the system to
respond to complex online analytical queries posed against its data
warehouse in seconds for efficient decision making. Optimization of online
analytical query processing (OLAP) could substantially minimize delays in
query response time. Materialized view is an efficient and effective OLAP
query optimization technique to minimize query response time. Selecting a
set of such appropriate views for materialization is referred to as view
selection, which is a nontrivial task. In this regard, an Artificial Bee
Colony (ABC) based view selection algorithm (ABCVSA), which has been adapted
by incorporating N-point and GBFS based N-point random insertion operations,
to select Top-K views from a multidimensional lattice is proposed.
Experimental results show that ABCVSA performs better than the most
fundamental view selection algorithm HRUA. Thus, the views selected using
ABCVSA on materialization would reduce the query response time of OLAP
queries and thereby aid analysts in arriving at strategic business decisions
in an effective manner.

Fuzzy Rule Based Environment Monitoring System for Weather Controlled
Laboratories using Arduino

S. Sasirekha (SSN College of Engineering, Department of Information
Technology, Chennai, India), S. Swamynathan (Anna University, Department of
Information Science and Technology, Chennai, India)

Weather controlled laboratories such as blood banks, plasma centers,
biomedical, research, pharmacy and healthcare always require a portable, low
cost and web-based centralized wireless monitoring system. However, it has
become more stringent to monitor various weather controlling devices of
these laboratories in order to reduce the risk of non-compliance with
accreditation requirements. In literature, it is inferred that the majority
of existing event detection approaches relies only on precise value to
specify event thresholds, but those values cannot adequately handle the
imprecise sensor reading. Therefore, in this work, one of the soft computing
technologies, fuzzy logic is adopted to demonstrate that fuzzy rule based
value significantly improves the accuracy of event detection. The prototype
built is tested in a physical laboratory as a personal mobile weather
station for monitoring and analyzing the environmental conditions using
fuzzy simulated values.

ARTICLE 4

A Model for Text Summarization

Rasim M. Alguliyev (Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, Institute of
Information Technology, Baku, Azerbaijan), Ramiz M. Aliguliyev (Azerbaijan
National Academy of Sciences, Institute of Information Technology, Baku,
Azerbaijan), Nijat R. Isazade (Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences,

Intelligence, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)

Text summarization is a process for creating a concise version of
document(s) preserving its main content. In this paper, to cover all topics
and reduce redundancy in summaries, a two-stage sentences selection method
for text summarization is proposed. At the first stage, to discover all
topics the sentences set is clustered by using k-means method. At the second
stage, optimum selection of sentences is proposed. From each cluster the
salient sentences are selected according to their contribution to the topic
(cluster) and their proximity to other sentences in cluster to avoid
redundancy in summaries until the appointed summary length is reached.
Sentence selection is modeled as an optimization problem. In this study, to
solve the optimization problem an adaptive differential evolution with novel
mutation strategy is employed. With a test on benchmark DUC2001 and DUC2002
data sets, the ROUGE value of summaries got by the proposed approach
demonstrated its validity, compared to the traditional methods of sentence
selection and the top three performing systems for DUC2001 and DUC2002.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Mission of IJIIT:

The advent of the World Wide Web has sparked renewed interest in the area of
intelligent information technologies. There is a growing interest in
developing intelligent technologies that enable users to accomplish complex
tasks in web-centric environments with relative ease, utilizing such
technologies as intelligent agents, distributed computing in heterogeneous
environments, and computer supported collaborative work. The mission of the
International Journal of Intelligent Information Technologies (IJIIT) is to
bring together researchers in related fields such as information systems,
distributed AI, intelligent agents, and collaborative work, to explore and
discuss various aspects of design and development of intelligent
technologies. This journal provides a forum for academics and practitioners
to explore research issues related to not only the design, implementation
and deployment of intelligent systems and technologies, but also economic
issues and organizational impact. Papers related to all aspects of
intelligent systems including theoretical work on agent and multi-agent
systems as well as case studies offering insights into agent-based problem
solving with empirical or simulation based evidence are welcome.
