Credit risk evaluation and bankruptcy analysis is essential for various financial institutions which must minimize their possible loss, as well as banking sector, investors, governing authorities, as it helps to identify possible financial problems or even predict future financial crises. Various artificial intelligence, soft computing and machine learning techniques often prove to overcome limitations of previously applied techniq Read More

The constantly increasing amount of data generated from our everyday life requires Data Centers to store data. Data Centers need a lot of resources to operate, and Companies are working to find new solutions to improve efficiency and as well as effectiveness. After using sea water to cool off servers and studying alternative ways of generating power, the attention is now moving on alternative ways to manage data. Op Read More

The classification accuracy in a myoelectric control system depends on choosing the optimal features that represent surface electromyographic (sEMG) signal, and selecting robust and fast classification algorithm. In this work, eight hand motions were classified using different extracted features from sEMG signals. The results of the experiment show that the classification rate of 97.41% was achieved using wavelet coeffi Read More

Today networks are interconnected wired and wireless network. With the explosive growth and increasing complexity of network applications, malware attacks such as worm attack against network are critical. Although of the evolution of worm detection techniques, worms are still the most malware threats attacking computer systems. Early detection of unknown worms is still a problem. Swarm Intelligence (SI) in rece Read More

Software design and its engineering is crucial for the scientific software impact. Successful, comprehensive, flexible, futuristic and on demand, software development can only be achieved, if the system is properly designed, following the software engineering principles, modelling approaches and implementation life cycles. This paper briefly identifies and discusses that how can we overcome the major issues turni Read More
