The three electronic dictionaries are under examination: the English Wiktionary, WordNet, and the Russian Wiktionary. It was calculated the quantity of English words and meanings (senses) in these dictionaries. The distribution of words for each part of speech, the quantity of monosemous and polysemous words and the distribution of words by number of meanings were calculated and compared across these dictionaries. The analysis shows that the average polysemy, the number and the distribution of word senses follow similar patterns in both expert and collaborative resources with relatively minor differences.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing>To obtain a copy of the entire article, click on the link below.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><a href="http://www.igi-global.com/article/quantitative-analysis-english-lexicon-wiktionaries/74827">http://www.igi-global.com/article/quantitative-analysis-english-lexicon-wiktionaries/74827</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing>To read a PDF sample of this article, click on the link below.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><a href="http://www.igi-global.com/viewtitlesample.aspx?id=74827&ptid=59599&t=a+quantitative+analysis+of+the+english+lexicon+in+wiktionaries+and+wordnet">http://www.igi-global.com/viewtitlesample.aspx?id=74827&ptid=59599&t=a+quantitative+analysis+of+the+english+lexicon+in+wiktionaries+and+wordnet</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><b>PAPER THREE<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><br><span style='color:#333333;background:white'>An Intelligent Particle Swarm Optimization for Fuzzy Based Heterogeneous Radio Access Technology (RAT) Selection<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='color:#333333;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='color:#333333;background:white'>J.

The user terminal has to select the best access technology among Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN), and Universal Mobile Telecommunication Systems (UMTS) etc. at its current location. Thus, selecting the appropriate RAT and cell becomes a complex problem in heterogeneous network due to number of variables involved in the selection process. The main objective of this work in the heterogeneous networks is to maximize the percentage of satisfied users who are assigned to the networks. Henceforth, this paper presents an innovative mechanism for the selection of heterogeneous networks such as WWAN and WLAN. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated using 1000 datasets. From the simulation results, it is found that the proposed algorithm gives highest probability for mobile user satisfaction than the existing methods.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing>To obtain a copy of the entire article, click on the link below.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><a href="http://www.igi-global.com/article/intelligent-particle-swarm-optimization-fuzzy/74828">http://www.igi-global.com/article/intelligent-particle-swarm-optimization-fuzzy/74828</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing>To read a PDF sample of this article, click on the link below.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><a href="http://www.igi-global.com/viewtitlesample.aspx?id=74828&ptid=59599&t=an+intelligent+particle+swarm+optimization+for+fuzzy+based+heterogeneous+radio+access+technology+(rat)+selection">http://www.igi-global.com/viewtitlesample.aspx?id=74828&ptid=59599&t=an+intelligent+particle+swarm+optimization+for+fuzzy+based+heterogeneous+radio+access+technology+(rat)+selection</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><b>PAPER FOUR<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='color:#333333;background:white'>An Intelligent and Dynamic Decision Support System for Nonlinear Environments<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='color:#333333;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='color:#333333;background:white'>S.

Since, the design of a dynamic and efficient decision making system is a challenging task, a Support Vector Machine (SVM) based model is proposed to predict the future event of a nonlinear time series environment. This model is a non-parametric model that uses the inherent structure of the data for forecasting. The Hybrid Dimensionality Reduction (HDR) and Extended Hybrid Dimensionality Reduction (EHDR) techniques are proposed to represent the time series data and to reduce the dimensionality and control noise besides subsequencing the time series data. The proposed SVM based model using EHDR is compared with the models using Symbolic Aggregate approXimation (SAX), HDR, SVM using Kernel Principal Component Analysis(KPCA) and SVM using varying tube size values for historical data on different financial instruments. The experimental results have proved that the prediction accuracy of the proposed model is better compared with other models taken for the experimentation.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing>To obtain a copy of the entire article, click on the link below.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><a href="http://www.igi-global.com/article/intelligent-dynamic-decision-support-system/74829">http://www.igi-global.com/article/intelligent-dynamic-decision-support-system/74829</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing>To read a PDF sample of this article, click on the link below.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><a href="http://www.igi-global.com/viewtitlesample.aspx?id=74829&ptid=59599&t=an+intelligent+and+dynamic+decision+support+system+for+nonlinear+environments">http://www.igi-global.com/viewtitlesample.aspx?id=74829&ptid=59599&t=an+intelligent+and+dynamic+decision+support+system+for+nonlinear+environments</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><b>PAPER FIVE<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='color:#333333;background:white'>Optimal Strategy for the Smartphone Industry in Taiwan: HTC Case Study<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='color:#333333;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='color:#333333;background:white'>Yi-Fen Chen (Chung Yuan Christian University, Chung Li, Taiwan), Bi-Chu Chen (Jinwen University of Science and Technology, New Taipei City, Taiwan), Wen-Yu Chen (Chinese Culture University, Taipei, Taiwan), Chia-Wen Tsai (Ming Chuan University, Taipei, Taiwan) and Wei-Hung Lin (Chung Yuan Christian University, Chung Li, Taiwan)<br><br></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.8pt;background:white'><span style='color:#333333;background:white'>Smartphone development has opened the door to many future business opportunities. Many smartphone manufacturers in Taiwan have received orders from large international companies (mainly as OEMs or ODMs), while only few manufacturers have developed their own brands.

The purpose of this paper is to take critical success factors (CSFs) and the existing internal capabilities of an enterprise in an external environment into account to build an operational model guide that enterprise in its decision making process. This study combined the Delphi method and the analytic network process (ANP) model to construct a decision model, calculate the weighting of every criterion and sub-criterion, and determine the optimal decision-making strategy in the smartphone industry. Then, the authors chose the HTC Corporation as a case study. The results showed that the development trend of the smartphone industry was the integration of mobile phones.
