Transaction-Oriented Simulation In Ad Hoc Grids
Date: 26-03-2007 11:00Computer Simulation is an important area of Computer Science that is used in many other research areas like for instance engineering, military, biology and climate research. But the growing demand for more and more complex simulations can lead to long runtimes even on modern computer systems. Performing complex Computer Simulations in parallel, distributed across several proce ... read full abstract ››
Geographic Information System-based integrated road crash data system
Date: 06-02-2007 15:20Geographic Information System-based integrated road crash data system can be used for mitigating road safety problems. The crash data system in Kenya has mainly been paper-based with no location referencing. The paper-based crash data system, in itself has presented a number of problems, leading to inaccurate, incomplete and inconsistent decisions being arrived at. The result ... read full abstract ››
National Strategic Framework on eGovernance Projects in Nepal
Date: 07-11-2006 12:19The advent of ICT has brought about a challenge to the developing countries like Nepal to appropriate and adapt the global knowledge available in developed countries. To avoid re-inventing the wheel or re-create existing knowledge and waste time, effort and money in the process, we should, with technological competence grab the opportunities offered by ICT. This highly leverag ... read full abstract ››
A Swarm-Based Model for Increasing Impulse Shopping in Supermarkets
Date: 18-08-2006 21:12In today's supermarket multi-billion dollar industry, impulse shopping accounts for 2 out of 3 purchases. The phenomenon is so prominent that some consider high levels of it to be a disorder in the same group as Pyromania (the impulse to burn things) and Kleptomania (the impulse to steal). Despite the current situation, most retail stores attempt to benefit from the fact that ... read full abstract ››

Subject Mining advance Artificial Intelligence algorithm
Date: 08-08-2005 22:47Subject mining will be the corner stone of search engines in the 21st Century. With the constant growth of data stores and the availability of technologies to the masses, it has become apparent that the best methods to conduct searches and return complex patterns is thru the usage of a new method of data extraction which I call Subject Mining.
Data mining has becom ... read full abstract ››
