Innovation has long been considered crucial for companies to gain a competitive edge in the global marketplace. Unfortunately, a solid understanding of the system of innovation does not exist. The literature lacks formal definitions and methodologies for the system of innovation. Many surrogates...

In Bioinformatics, sequence analysis is the basic important concept that provides information for structural and functional analysis. Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) is a keystone problem in the sequence analysis that is used for constructing phylogenetic tree, finding motif, gene expression,...

Social science research is concerned with the study of processes and phenomena in human societies, institutions and organizations. Social phenomena are complex due to many non-linear interactions between their elements. Social simulation represents a new paradigm for understanding social...

Cryptanalysis refers to finding the plaintext from the given cipher text. The problem reduces to finding the correct key from a set of possible keys, which is basically a search problem. Many researchers have put in a lot of effort to accomplish this task. Most of the efforts used conventional...

Page rank plays an important role in processing of an indexed list for relevant web pages/ clouds by search engines. Validation of computed page rank is significantly important towards the reliability enhancement for a computed page rank. Besides, energy efficiency is a major concern towards...

The communication of private information is very dangerous, since unauthorized entities can intercept it. Thus, encryption is one of the principal information security solutions that helps keep information confidentiality. This latter can be satisfied by the use of various encryption techniques,...

The density classification task (DCT for short) is one of the most studied benchmark problems for analyzing emergent computations performed by cellular automata. Starting from the observation that the performance of the best known solutions is not stable towards initial configurations size; we...

Cellular automata (CA) are discrete dynamical systems consist of a regular finite grid of cell; each cell encapsulating an equal portion of the state, and arranged spatially in a regular fashion to form an n-dimensional lattice. A cellular automata is like computers, data represented by initial...

The authors propose a novel small-world model that makes use of cellular automata with the mirror identities of daily-contact social networks to simulate epidemiological scenarios. We established the mirror identity concept (a miniature representation of frequently visited places) to acknowledge...

The behavior of cellular automata is a very close representation of the evolution of complex social systems. We developed the simulation model "ArrierosAlife" to explore the behavior of changes in social networks over time. The model is based on empirical data, a result out of a longitudinal...
