Classification is an important task in machine learning and data mining. Lots of classification models have been proposed based on different theories and assumptions. Several researchers have proposed to build classifiers by using a sequence of nested clusterings based on the assumption that if objects are spatially close to one another in data space, they tend to have the same categorical label. In this paper, we pro- pose to build such classifiers by using the agglomerative fuzzy k-means because of its three good properties: (1) the clustering algorithm is insensitive to initial centers; (2) the algorithm can automatically determine the number of clusters combined with cluster validation techniques; (3) the algorithm can control the density level of clusters identified. The comparison experiments with traditional classifiers on benchmark data sets from UCI Machine Learning Repository have shown the effectiveness of our proposed approach.

Recently, the concept of indirect associations, a new type of infrequent patterns that indirectly connect two rarely co-occurred items via a frequent item set called ¡§mediator¡¨, has been shown its power in capturing interesting information over web usage data. Most contemporary indirect association mining algorithms are developed for static dataset. Our previous work has proposed an algorithm, MIA-LM, tailored to streaming data. In this paper, we propose a new efficient algorithm, namely EMIA-LM, for mining indirect associations over web data streams. EMIA-LM employs a mediator-exploiting search strategy, which reduce the search space as well as computation cost for generating indirect associations. Besides, EMIA-LM adopts a compact data structure, alleviating unnecessary data transforming processes and consuming far less memory storage. Preliminary experiments conducted on real Web streaming datasets show that EMIA-LM is superior to the leading HI-mine* algorithm for static data and MIA-LM both in computation speed and memory consumption.

Wireless digital home environment is now a trend to remove the unnecessary wires between different entertainment devices. To serve the multiple client and multiple video source request, a new video compressor for loss less and near loss less compression is one of the major components achieving wireless mobile, multiple access home entertainment system. Among loss less compression system, JPEG 2000 realizes SNR and size scalable loss less image compression, and video is also compressible via motion JPEG 2000 extension. This work presents a new loss less compression codec, the multiple source oriented scalable video compressor. Two important components from JPEG 2000 are extracted, namely LDWT and MQ-coder. According to the probability analysis, two pass quality driven bit plane sequencer is presented. A complete flowchart is constructed to conclude the proposed work. Quality driven magnitude refinement is also proposed to optimize the SNR scalability. According to the experiment results, the computation time of proposed work is almost one third of open JPEG (JEPG 2000) while the compression ratio is only 0.07 behind. According to the results, a computation-efficient size and SNR scalable codec is concluded.

Wireless sensor networks consist of small battery powered devices with limited energy resources. The energy efficiency is key design that needs to be enhanced in order to improve the life-time of the network. However, the conventional cluster constructions are difficult to control the geographical area of a cluster. The methods usually generate long-distance intra-cluster routing and can not keep the energy efficiency. This paper presents an efficient cluster construction strategy that can handle the geographical area of a cluster. Accordingly, the numbers of sensor nodes of clusters are balanced and long-distance intra-cluster data delivery can be avoided.

Smart classrooms generally differ from otherpervasive information technologies such as RFID. But the academic office is still lack of one effectual methodology to collect the 100% student actual attendance in time at the endof every period class. Nevertheless, the roll-call function in the smart classroom would be critical especially when they implement the RFID student's ID card to track the student attendance. And then the roll-call function only can lead to read everyone's ID card individually which can't avoid the agent to punch at the beginning of every class. In this paper,we propose an efficient mechanism by IOT architecture, namely, the Smart Classroom Roll Caller System (SCRCS) that installed at every classrooms of university and read thestudent's ID card accumulatively to present the total number of the actual attendance on the LED display of SCRCS at the beginning of every class and let the all ID cards be visible on the multiple slots of SCRCS to avoid the student agent's activities. Finally, the academic office will collect every student's attendance at every class on time and help students have good study performance.
智能教室通常不同于其他无处不在的信息技术,如RFID。但是教务处仍然缺乏一种有效的方法来收集每节课结束时学生100%的实际出勤率。然而,智能教室中的点名功能将是至关重要的,特别是当他们实现RFID学生ID卡来跟踪学生出勤时。然后唱名功能只能导致每个人的身份证单独读取,无法避免代理打卡在每节课开始。本文提出了一种基于物联网架构的高效机制,即智能教室点名系统(Smart Classroom Roll Caller System, sccs),该系统安装在高校的每个教室,通过累计读取学生的身份证,在每节课开始时在sccs的LED显示屏上显示实际出勤的总人数,并在sccs的多个插槽上显示所有的身份证,以避免学生代理的活动。最后,教务处会按时收集每个学生的出勤情况,帮助学生取得良好的学习成绩。

Blurred underwater image is always an annoying problem in the oceanic engineering. In this paper, we propose an efficient and low complexity underwater image enhancement method based on dark channel prior. Our method employs the median filter instead of the soft matting procedure to estimate the depth map of image. Moreover, a color correction method is adopted to enhance the color contrast for underwater image. The experimental results show that the proposed approach can effectively enhance the underwater image and reduce the execution time. Besides, this method requires less computing resource and is well suitable for implementing on the surveillance and underwater navigation in real time.
