Metaheuristic Applications And Their Solutions Quality, Dr. Zahid Hussain Aug 2005

Metaheuristic Applications And Their Solutions Quality, Dr. Zahid Hussain

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

Over the past few decades, a wide variety of classes of combinatorial problems (e.g. the assignment problem, the knapsack problem, the vehicle routing problem, etc.) have emerged - from such areas as management science, telecommunication, AI, VLSI design and many others. Many large combinatorial problems are NP-hard problems because of the combinatorial growth of their solution search space with the problem size. Such problems are commonly solved by some version of a prominent metaheuristic (e.g. Genetic Algorithms, Tabu Search, Simulated Annealing and etc.). These heuristics seek good but approximate solutions at a reasonable computational cost. These heuristics are of stochastic …


Real Time Object Tracking Using Bma, Zeeshan Hameed Khan, Muhammad Aurangzeb Aug 2005

Real Time Object Tracking Using Bma, Zeeshan Hameed Khan, Muhammad Aurangzeb

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

This paper describes real time object tracking using block matching algorithm (BMA). Emphasis is made on the development of techniques for tracking a user-selected object through digital image sequences in multimedia systems. The ability to track objects in sequences is useful in situations where the motion of objects is important. It is also useful when a moving object is difficult to see and needs to be highlighted. A tracking tool is also of benefit to the developers of a multimedia system to automatically 'mark up' a moving object so a user of the system can select it and manipulate it.


Exploring The Possibility Of Implementing Telecommuting At University Utara Malaysia (Uum), Dr. Wan Rozaini Sheik Osman, Haitham Rashdan Aug 2005

Exploring The Possibility Of Implementing Telecommuting At University Utara Malaysia (Uum), Dr. Wan Rozaini Sheik Osman, Haitham Rashdan

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

Global technology has quickly progressed to provide more accessible business modes of communication. The image of the traditional workplace as a particular place to go to work is being replaced with employees working wherever they can be most efficient and productive, whether at home, on a plane, on the road, or a telework center. The availability of affordable technology has been one of the major contributors to the "any time, any place" telecommuting trend. The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of the implementation of teleworking at University Utara Malaysia (UUM), the suitable job selection criteria, the …
