...implement the algorithm. We must implement this algorithm in code and verify that the algorithm works. The last major step of this process is to maintain the program. By this we must use and modify the program if the problem domain ends up changing. 11) Describe the steps required in the analysis phase of programming. The analysis phase of programming begins with thoroughly understanding the problem along with its requirements. The problem requirements beg a few important questions. Does the program require user interaction? Does program manipulate data? And lastly, what is the output of this data? The next major step is to divide the main problem into sub-problems if the task at hand is complex. This step would require us to analyze and design algorithms for each sub problem that we have identified. Following this step, one should check the correctness of the algorithm, by testing it using sample data. For this, some mathematical analysis may be required. 12) Design an algorithm to find the weighted average of four test scores. The four test scores and their respective weights are given in the following format You first need to obtain each test score and its weight. Next you multiply each test score by its weight and then finally add these numbers to get the average. 1. Get testScore1, Get weightTestScore 1 2. Get testScore 2, Get weightTestScore2 3.

...Fire Research Program using NRC’s full-scale facilities. Fourteen different clothing stores were surveyed and the data collected were analyzed to determine the total fire load (MJ) in each of the stores, the fire load density (MJ/m2), and the contribution of different combustible materials to the total fire load. The survey was conducted in 2003 in the Canadian cities of Ottawa and Gatineau. The analysis of the survey data indicated that three different fuel packages should be used to represent clothing stores. One package is used to represent clothing stores with small floor area, the second to represent stores with wood as the major combustible, and the third to represent stores with cloth as the major combustible. The results from the tests show that clothing stores that have wood as the main combustible have almost the same burning characteristics (HRR, gas temperatures and concentrations, and heat fluxes) as small size clothing stores with similar burning trends during the test. However, the test with clothing stores that have cloth as the main combustible produced twice the max HRR, a 50% increase in gas...

Columns having both lex/D and ley/b less than twelve are designated as short and otherwise, they are slender, where lex and ley are the effective lengths with respect to major and minor axes, respectively; and D and b are the depth and width of rectangular columns, respectively. Short columns are frequently used in concrete structures, the design of such columns has been explained in Lessons 22 to 26, loaded concentrically or eccentrically about one or both...

...Improved Matchmaking Algorithm for Semantic Web Services Based on Bipartite Graph Matching Umesh Bellur, Roshan Kulkarni Kanwal Rekhi School of Information Technology, IIT Bombay umesh@it.iitb.ac.in, roshan@it.iitb.ac.in Abstract The ability to dynamically discover and invoke a Web Service is a critical aspect of Service Oriented Architectures. An important component of the discovery process is the matchmaking algorithm itself. In order to overcome the limitations of a syntax-based search, matchmaking algorithms based on semantic techniques have been proposed. Most of them are based on an algorithm originally proposed by M. Paolucci, et al. [21]. In this paper, we analyze this original algorithm and identify some correctness issues with it. We illustrate how these issues are an outcome of the greedy approach adopted by the algorithm. We propose a more exhaustive matchmaking algorithm, based on the concept of matching bipartite graphs, to overcome the problems faced with the original algorithm. We analyze the complexity of both the algorithms and present performance results which show that our algorithm performs as well as the original. 1 Introduction Loose Coupling is an important principle underlying Service Oriented Architectures. One aspect of loose coupling is the ability to invoke a service provider with little (or no) prior knowledge about it. The publish-find-bind architecture is intended to facilitate this process. Service providers create WSDL [9] descriptions...
