This paper introduces a practical security model based on key security considerations by looking at a number of infrastructure aspects of Cloud Computing such as SaaS, Utility, Web, Platform and Managed Services, Service ...
A comparison of data mining techniques for credit scoring in banking: A managerial perspective
(Journal of Business Economics and Management, 2009)
Credit scoring is a very important task for lenders to evaluate the loan applications they receive from consumers as well as for insurance companies, which use scoring systems today to evaluate new policyholders and the ...
Quality layers in scalable multi-view video coding
(Proceedings - 2009 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo, ICME 2009, 2009)
The Quality Layers concept is proposed and adopted in the JSVM in order to ensure an optimal adaptation in a rate-distortion sense [1]. In this paper it is extended to multi-view case for scalable coding of multi-view ...
A novel square root domain lossless integrator and its application to KHN biquad filter design
(ELECO 2009 - 6th International Conference on Electrical and Electronics Engineering, 2009)
In this paper, a novel square root domain lossless integrator and its application to KHN (Kerwin-HuelsmanNewcomb) biquad are proposed. The presented lossless integrator based on quadratic characteristics of MOS transistor ...
Necessary optimality conditions for switching control problems
(Journal of Industrial and Management Optimization, 2009)
In this paper we consider smooth and nonsmooth switching control problems. By applying Taylor incremental formula for the cost functional, first we obtain the necessary optimality condition for the smooth case. Then by ...
Spider vs. Prolog: Simulating prolog in spider
(ACM International Conference Proceeding Series, 2009)
Control Network Programming is a programming paradigm that integrates ideas from imperative programming, declarative programming, rule-based systems, nondeterministic programming and graphical programming. Its computation ...

This is the second in a series of two reports presenting a comparison between the Control Network Programming language Spider and the logic programming language Prolog. Here, the focus is on juxtaposing the tools for ...
The effects of the duration of formal education on adult brain: A voxel-based morphometry - (diffeomorphic anatomical registration using exponentiated lie algebra) DARTEL study
(Klinik Psikofarmakoloji Bulteni, 2009)
Objective: Recent studies neuroimaging showed that continues environmental stimuli can induce structural changes in the brain. Compared to later life, during formal education in school and university; human brain is not ...
On optimal weights in a PSNR-based objective stereo video quality measure [PSNR-tabanli bir nesnel stereo video kalite ölçüsünde en i̇yi aǧirliklar üzerine]
(2009 IEEE 17th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference, SIU 2009, 2009)
In stereoscopic 3D video, it is well-known that humans can perceive high quality 3D video provided that one of the views is in high quality. Hence, in stereo video encoding, the best overall rate vs. perceived-distortion ...
A desktop application to learn the actual workload of the students
(Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2009)
The use of European Credit Transfer system (ECTS) provides a reference standard for exchange students across the European Union (EU). It helps more transparency and compatibility to compare the self-study period and ...
