Option pricing is an important research field in financial markets, and the American option is a common financial derivative. Fast and accurate pricing solutions are critical to the stability and development of the market. Computational techniques, especially the least squares Monte Carlo (LSMC)...

Forecasting Populations (FPOP) is a microsimulation model (MSM) that is the demographic core of an extensible modeling framework. The framework, with FPOP at its core, enables the geospatial projection of a population under purely demographic processes or under the additional influence of...

This paper is an extension to the "Distributed Parallel Architecture for Storing and Processing Large Datasets" paper presented at the WSEAS SEPADS’12 conference in Cambridge. In its original version the paper went over the benefits of using a distributed parallel architecture to store...

Considering the importance and usefulness of real time data mining, in recent years the concern of researchers to discover new hardware architectures that can manage and process large volumes of data has increased significantly. In this paper the performance of algorithms for temporal data...
