Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to analyse the main components of a wireless communication system, e.g. input transducer, transmitter, communication channel and receiver on the basis of their interconnection for evaluating the various reliability measures for the same....

Wireless local area networks (WLANs), like IEEE 802.11, are right now very common in numerous outdoor or indoor environments for providing wireless communication among WiFi-enabled devices by accessing an Access Point (infrastructure mode) or through peer to peer connections (ad hoc mode)....

A data warehouse is a central repository of historical data designed primarily to support analytical processing. These analytical queries are exploratory, long and complex in nature. Further, the rapid and continuous growth in the size of data warehouse increases the response times of such...

This article describes how for the last few decades, data mining research has had significant progress in a wide spectrum of applications. Research in prediction of multi-domain data sets is a challenging task due to the imbalanced, voluminous, conflicting, and complex nature of data sets. A...

The present research work proposes a mathematical model of thermal power plant to analyse its performance through reliability measures. Evaluation of reliability measure for thermal power plant is a complex process. The thermal power plant is modelled using Markov process and explored the...

An ideal face-to-face tutor learner interaction aims to offer learning to the learner in a manner that best suits an individual learner's learning level and learning style. This ability of differentiated instruction has been built in Seis-Tutor Intelligent Tutoring system, developed to offer...

This article describes how, recently, data mining has been in great use for extracting meaningful patterns from medical domain data sets, and these patterns are then applied for clinical diagnosis. Truly, any accurate, precise and reliable classification models significantly assist the medical...

Purpose: In this paper, the objective is to perform mathematical modeling to optimize the steady-state availability of a multi-state repairable crushing system of a sugar plant using the evolutionary algorithm of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The system availability is optimized by...

Purpose: This study aims to set out to develop and validate a new instrument to measure the multi-dimensional nature of co-opetition in corporate responsibility and sustainability (CRS). It is anticipated that this instrument will prove useful to firms wanting to adopt measures that support...
