  • Differential SOAP multicasting 
    Tekli, Joe; Damiani, Ernesto; Chbeir, Richard (IEEE, 2017-07-04)
    SOAP has been widely adopted as a simple, robust and extensible XML-based protocol for the exchange of messages among web services. Unfortunately, SOAP communications have two major performance-related drawbacks: i) ...
  • Fast fractal stack 
    Tekli, Joe; Costa, Alceu Ferraz; Traina, Agma Juci Machado (ACM, 2017-07-04)
    This paper proposes a new feature extraction method: the Fast Fractal Stack, or FFS. The extraction algorithm consists in decomposing the input grayscale image into a stack of binary images from which the fractal dimension ...
  • Toward approximate GML retrieval based on structural and semantic characteristics 
    Tekli, Joe; Chbeir, Richard; Ferri, Fernando; Grifoni, Patrizia (Springer, 2017-07-04)
    GML is emerging as the new standard for representing geographic information in GISs on the Web, allowing the encoding of structurally and semantically rich geographic data in self describing XML-based geographic entities. ...
  • Relating RSS news/items 
    Tekli, J.; Chbeir, R.; Getahun, F.; Viviani, M.; Yetongnon, K. (ScopusSpringer, 2017-07-04)
    Merging related RSS news (coming from one or different sources) is beneficial for end-users with different backgrounds (journalists, economists, etc.), particularly those accessing similar information. In this paper, we ...
  • Extensible user-based XML grammar matching 
    Tekli, J.; Chbeir, R.; Yetongnon, K. (Scopus, 2017-07-04)
    XML grammar matching has found considerable interest recently due to the growing number of heterogeneous XML documents on the web and the increasing need to integrate, and consequently search and retrieve XML data originated ...
  • Structural similarity evaluation between XML documents and DTDs 
    Tekli, J.; Chbeir, R.; Yetongnon, K. (Scopus, 2017-06-30)
    The automatic processing and management of XML-based data are ever more popular research issues due to the increasing abundant use of XML, especially on the Web. Nonetheless, several operations based on the structure of ...
  • The use of semantic-based predicates implication to improve horizontal multimedia database fragmentation 
    Tekli, Joe; Getahun, Fekade; Atnafu, Solomon; Chbeir, Richard (ACM, 2017-06-30)
    Database fragmentation allows reducing irrelevant data accesses by grouping data frequently accessed together in dedicated segments. In this paper, we address multimedia database fragmentation to take into account the rich ...
  • A fine-grained XML structural comparison approach 
    Tekli, Joe; Chbeir, Richard; Yetongnon, Kokou (Springer, 2017-06-30)
    As the Web continues to grow and evolve, more and more information is being placed in structurally rich documents, XML documents in particular, so as to improve the efficiency of similarity clustering, information retrieval ...
  • XS3 
    Tekli, Joe; Chbeir, Richard; Yetongnon, Kokou (ACM, 2017-06-30)
  • XSDF 
    Tekli, Joe; Charbel, Nathalie; Chbeir, Richard; Tekli, Gilbert (IEEE, 2017-06-29)
    Abstract: This paper briefly describes and evaluates XSDF, a new XML Semantic Disambiguation Framework, taking as input: an XML document and a general purpose semantic network, and then producing as output a semantically ...
  • Fast and reduced full-system finite element solution of line contact elastohydrodynamic lubrication problems 
    Habchi, W.; Issa, J. (Civil-Comp Press, 2017-06-29)
  • Minimization of the amplitude of the entire span of beams using mass dampers 
    Issa, Jimmy S. (ASME, 2017-06-29)
    The aim of this work is the reduction of the steady state amplitude of harmonically forced simply supported beams using mass dampers. The considered system consists of a mass damper attached to a simply supported beam with ...
  • The use of the fixed points method for optimal damping of harmonically forced cantilever beams 
    Issa, Jimmy S. (ASME, 2017-06-28)
    The use of viscous dampers for vibration attenuation in harmonically forced cantilever beams is studied. The system considered is a cantilever beam with a point harmonic force applied at a given location and a viscous ...
  • Vibration suppression in a cantilever beam using a string-type vibration absorber 
    Issa, Jimmy S.; Habchi, Wassim F. (ASME, 2017-06-28)
    A string-type vibration absorber is proposed to suppress energy from a vibrating beam. A cantilever beam is considered with a harmonic force applied at its free end. The vibration absorber is a string attached to the beam ...
  • A reduced full-system finite element approach to the solution of EHL problems 
    Habchi, W.; Issa, J. (ASME, 2017-06-28)
    This paper presents a reduced full-system finite element solution of isothermal elastohydrodynamic (EHD) line contact problems. The proposed model is based on a full-system finite element resolution of the EHL equations: ...
  • Energy removal in dynamical systems through an optimal sequence of constraint application 
    Issa, Jimmy; Mukherjee, Ranjan; Diaz, Alejandro R. (ASME, 2017-06-28)
    A sequential application and removal of constraints can remove energy from vibrating systems. In this paper several optimization formulations are suggested, whereby maximum energy removal is achieved by selecting optimal ...
  • Control of space structures using cable actuators 
    Issa, Jimmy; Mukherjee, Ranjan; Shaw, Steven W. (ASME, 2017-06-28)
    We explore the use of cable actuators for vibration suppression in space structures. The dynamics of the structure and cable-structure interaction are modeled using finite elements. It is found that the cable has two ...
  • Energy dissipation through modal energy redistribution 
    Issa, Jimmy; Mukherjee, Ranjan; Diaz, Alejandro R. (ASME, 2017-06-28)
    A vibration suppression strategy based on passive damping is presented. Modal energy is shifted from low to high frequency modes where it will be rapidly dissipated. This is achieved through the repeated application and ...
  • Analytical and experimental investigation of modal disparity 
    Issa, Jimmy; Mukherjee, Ranjan; Diaz, Alejandro; Shaw, Steven (ASME, 2017-06-28)
    This paper describes an analytical and experimental investigation on the property of modal disparity in a vibrating structure. For a given structure, the concept of modal disparity describes its ability to generate significant ...
  • A comparative study of device driver APIs towards a uniform linux approach 
    Ouaiss, Iyad; Zaatar, Wadih (2017-06-22)
    Linux Application Program Interfaces (APIs) lack stability and standardization. There is a need for a standard API for Linux device drivers that allow backward compatibility while easing the development of new drivers. The ...
