The EIDI (Enhanced Intelligent Database Interface) integrates artificial intelligence and database systems where the AI system can access one or more databases on one or more remote database management systems (DBMSs). The interface can support a wide variety of different DBMSs with static as well as dynamic capabilities. SQL is used to communicate with remote DBMSs and the implementation of the EIDI provides a high degree of portability. The query language of the EIDI is a restricted subset of function free Horn clauses, which are translated to SQL. Results from the EIDI are returned one tuple at a time and the EIDI manages a dynamic cache of result relations to improve efficiency. The objective of this paper is to present firstly a brief overview of the area of AI/DB integration-which worked as the main motivation behind the EIDI, then a discussion on the major features of EIDI and subsequently the architecture and salient components of the EIDI.

One of the important reasons for poor recognition rate in optical character recognition (OCR) system is the error in character segmentation. Existence of different type of characters in the scanned documents is a major problem to design an effective character segmentation procedure. In this paper, a new technique is presented for identification and segmentation of Bengali printed characters. This paper focuses on the segmentation of printed Bengali characters for efficient recognition of the characters. Our Line segmentation success rate is 99.7 % for 1000 lines, we have tested. Our Word segmentation success rate is 99.8 % for 4900 words tested. From the experiment we noticed that isolated characters fall into isolated group in 99.50 % cases. Most of the errors come from connected characters and characters having tau in front of them as segmenting tau we take the help of width. From the experiment we noticed that most of the errors came from components having multi-touching points between two characters.

IC packages, in semiconductor industries, are being marked through certain sequence by either laser marker or ink markers. A critical step in the final visual inspection is the orientation check of ICs that can be determined by detecting images of pin-1 notch or pin-1 dimple, which are molded/marked on the IC packages. This study accomplishes a software interface for a simple cost-effective approach to develop an automated low cost vision system that is capable of detecting the IC orientation on a JEDEC tray for a laser/ink marker system used in the IC industries. The algorithm has the competence and flexibility to distinguish correct orientation for various types of IC packages (QFP, PGA, BGA, flip chip etc.). The workable prototype possesses input variables, control system and output variables along with software implementation using the pattern recognition template based on RGB (red-green-blue) color method for every pixel of the images. Images of Pin-1 dimple or pin-1 notch of the IC packages are considered to perform image matching with the software development. The accuracy level has been achieved to a threshold value of above 80% of the total pixels scanned between the matched images. With this threshold value, matching efficiency between two similar images has been attained near about 100%, based on the proposed algorithmic results. Illumination variation, vibration of the machine on conveyors and handlers, computerpsilas timing gap with the Web camera and low resolution (320times240 or 277times245 pixels) of the taken images have made the image matching a complicated one. However, all the constraints are taken into account for setting the threshold value and obtaining the matching accuracy and have been achieved the appropriate matching algorithm to implement the cost effective automated IC orientation checking system.

Sentiment (i.e., bad or good opinion) described in texts has been studied widely, and at three different levels: word, sentence, and document level. This paper describes a well-founded approach for the task of sentence level sentiment analysis by studying the relationship between sentiments conveyed through texts and structure of natural language by a method of numerical analysis. Different approaches have been employed to ldquosenserdquo sentiment, especially from the texts, but none of those ever considered the valence based appraisal structure of sentiments which we have employed. Therefore the paper describes an approach to sense sentiments contained in a sentence by applying a numerical-valence based analysis. To meet this objective a linguistic tool, SenseNet, has been developed that provides lexical-units on the basis of each semantic verb frame obtained from the input sentence; assigns a numerical value to those based on their sense affinity; assesses the values using rules; and finally outputs sense-valence for each input sentence. Several experiments with a variety of datasets containing data from different domains have been conducted. The obtained results indicate significant performance gains over existing state-of-the-art approaches.

Sentient artefacts are everyday objects augmented with value added digital services. Being the building blocks of our surroundings, these artefacts can incrementally integrate computing into environment and can convert it into an intelligent one economically. In this paper, we report our experiences with sentient artefacts to rationalise intelligent environment. We discuss the design principles of sentient artefacts and present a sensor selection framework to convert a regular artefact into a sentient one. In addition, we discuss the application development guideline and lessons that we have learnt through prototyping sentient artefacts and proactive applications.

We propose a new and straight forward approach to measure design quality of object-oriented software systems. We use well known object oriented design quality metrics and find correlation among them to formulate a quality rank that is an indicator to the overall quality of any object oriented software. We tested our proposed formula on several open source software systems of different levels of design quality and validate by comparing the test result with expected levels of design quality.

Multiple-valued quantum circuits are a promising choice for future quantum computing technology since they have several advantages over binary quantum circuits. In this paper, we propose quaternary multi-qudit controlled gate family and show their realization on the top of liquid ion-trap realizable 1-qudit gates and 2-qudit Muthukrishnan-Stroud gates. Then we show a method of synthesizing incompletely specified multi-output quaternary function using quaternary 1-qudit gates and multi-qudit controlled gates.

In the field of Analog VLSI layout design, large variation of MOS component sizes causes mismatches and reduces the performance and splitting is necessary to reduce the variation. On the other hand, intensity of imposing always varies during fabrication. In this ongoing research, the solutions of above problems are introduced with some algorithm implementations. Two different sizes of components can be split into optimized number of pieces and an algorithm distributes them in an average and symmetrical (better) arrangement such that it can ensure average imposing and the efficiency increases. The computer generated solutions are compared with other possible solutions and proved better.

To obtain a satisfactory performance in the wireless sensor network, optimal routing is the most important aspect. The lifetime of the sensor network depends mostly on the routing topology. In order to route the data in an efficient way, we propose an almost Delaunay triangulation routing approach, which could be generated locally. This routing graph is generated only once and can be used during the whole lifetime of the wireless sensor network.
