Time series forecasting has wide-ranging applications in business intelligence, including predicting logistics demand and estimating power consumption in a smart grid, which subsequently facilitates decision-making processes. In many real-world scenarios,...

Time Series (TS) is one of the most common data formats in modern world, which often takes hierarchical structures, and is normally complicated with non-Gaussian and non-linear properties. Many businesses rely on accurate TS forecasting, under ...

Unveiling ancient whole-genome duplications, or WGDs, in the evolutionary history of species is elementary to understand how gene families have formed over time and genomes evolved. A classic framework of WGD models for deciphering ancient species in ...

Urban growth continues to colonise and have devastating impacts on unceded lands and sites significant to Traditional Owners. In the wake of urban expansion, millennia of cultural traditions and culturally significant stories are often concealed or ...

Financial reconciliation (cross-checking independent sources of data) is a time-honored and widespread function in finance and audit. Its objectives are to ensure completeness, timeliness, and accuracy of recording of transactions.

With the ...

Given a gene tree, a species tree, and an association between their leaves, the maximum parsimony reconciliation (MPR) problem seeks to find a mapping of the gene tree to the species tree that explains their incongruity using a biological model of ...

Arrays of repeat domains are critical to the proper function of a significant fraction of protein families. These repeats are easily identified in sequence, and are thought to have arisen primarily through the simultaneous duplication of multiple ...

Despite the importance of reconciliation in Colombia as a process that citizens practice actively in their everyday lives, most research has deployed a top-down approach to this concept. In this paper, we question these trends and show how design can ...

Cryptographic keys based on biometrics, besides offering information security and privacy, have the advantage of being strongly linked to the user. Three main techniques use biometric data to obtain cryptographic keys: cryptographic key release, ...

A common approach for inferring species trees from gene trees confounded by deep coalescence events is to solve the maximizing deep coalescence problem. This problem seeks a median (species) tree for a given set of gene trees under the deep coalescence ...

Presently a very large number of public and private data sets are available around the local governments. In most cases, they are not semantically interoperable and a huge human effort is needed to create integrated ontologies and knowledge base for ...

In data warehouse (DW) development, a series of mappings must be specified between user concepts and data source elements, in order to identify which sources must undergo an integration process. Until now, these mappings are either assumed to be implied ...

Vulnerability reconciliation is the process that analyses the output produced by one or more vulnerability scanners and provides a more succinct and high-level view of vulnerabilities and its overall impact factor in the network. Here attack graphs ...

The use of games in educational contexts is not new [see 22, 12, 10, 17, 8, 11, 6]. However, the exploration of evoking the values of reconciliation through a 3D interactive game for primary students is novel. This short paper outlines a recent video ...

The experimental determination of transcriptional regulatory networks in the laboratory remains difficult and time-consuming, while computational methods to infer these networks provide only modest accuracy. The latter can be attributed partly to the ...

Totalitarian, dictatorial and repressive regimes may attempt to hide or destroy evidence of their abuses. A lack of evidence prevents perpetrators of crimes from being held accountable when the oppressive regime is dismantled. In the wake of these ...

Background. Inferring an evolutionary scenario for a gene family is a fundamental problem with applications both in functional and evolutionary genomics. The gene tree/species tree reconciliation approach has been widely used to address this problem, ...

Australian Aboriginal people have suffered ignominy through British policies and practices since the legal conquest of their land in 1788. They have been historically and socially misrepresented on the premise of their race alone. Recent attempts at ...

We address the problem of optimistic replication forcollaborative text editing in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems. This problem is challenging because of concurrent updating at multiple peers and dynamic behavior of peers. Operationaltransformation (OT) is a ...

In this paper, we present a middleware for synchronization of opaque and structured data in a mobile and resource-constrained environment. The presented Syxaw (Synchronizer with XML-awareness) system distinguishes itself from related proposals in that ...
