Discrete Event Simulation-Based Reliability Evaluation of a Traffic Signal Controller by Joong Soon Jang, Sang C. Park

“…To develop the new evaluation methodology, this paper combines the Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) formalism which has been popular in manufacturing area for three reasons: (1) its features compatible with the object-oriented modeling; (2) its rigorous formal definition; and (3) its support for the specifications of discrete event models in a hierarchical and modular manner. By using the DEVS formalism, we construct a simulation model which takes into account not only the characteristics of a traffic signal controller but also the operating environment. …”

CMDC:an iterative algorithm for complementary multi-view document clustering by Ruizhang HUANG, Ruina BAI, Yanping CHEN, Yongbin QIN, Xinyu CHENG, Youliang TIAN

“…In response to the problems traditional multi-view document clustering methods separate the multi-view document representation from the clustering process and ignore the complementary characteristics of multi-view document clustering,an iterative algorithm for complementary multi-view document clustering——CMDC was proposed,in which the multi-view document clustering process and the multi-view feature adjustment were conducted in a mutually unified manner.In CMDC algorithm,complementary text documents were selected from the clustering results to aid adjusting the contribution of view features via learning a local measurement metric of each document view.The complementary text document of the results among the dimensionality clusters was selected by CMDC,and used to promote the feature tuning of the clusters.The partition consistency of the multi-dimensional document clustering was solved by the measure consistency of the dimensions.Experimental results show that CMDC effectively improves multi-dimensional clustering performance.…”
