  • Parallel physical optimization algorithms for allocating data to multicomputer nodes 
    Mansour, Nashat; Fox, Geoffrey C.; SAS; 198629170; Computer Science and Mathematics; nmansour@lau.edu.lb (2016-01-25)
    Three parallel physical optimization algorithms for allocating irregular data to multicomputer nodes are presented. They are based on simulated annealing, neural networks and genetic algorithms. All three algorithms deviate ...
  • Graph Contraction for Mapping Data on Parallel Computers 
    Mansour, N.; Ponnusamy, R.; Choudhary, A.; Fox, G. C.; SAS; 198629170; Computer Science and Mathematics; nmansour@lau.edu.lb (2016-01-25)
    Mapping data to parallel computers aims at minimizing the execution time of the associated application. However, it can take an unacceptable amount of time in comparison with the execution time of the application if the ...
  • Filtering intrusion detection alarms 
    Mansour, Nashat; Chehab, Maya I.; Faour, Ahmad; SAS; 198629170; Computer Science and Mathematics; nmansour@lau.edu.lb (2016-01-25)
    A Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) is an alarm system for networks. NIDS monitors all network actions and generates alarms when it detects suspicious or malicious attempts. A false positive alarm is generated when ...
  • Allocating data to distributed-memory multiprocessors by genetic algorithms 
    Mansour, Nashat; Fox, Geoffrey C.; SAS; 198629170; Computer Science and Mathematics; nmansour@lau.edu.lb (2016-01-25)
    We present three genetic algorithms (GAs) for allocating irregular data sets to multiprocessors. These are a sequential hybrid GA, a coarse-grain GA and a fine-grain GA. The last two are based on models of natural evolution ...
  • Testing web applications 
    Mansour, Nashat; Houri, Manal; SAS; 198629170; Computer Science and Mathematics; nmansour@lau.edu.lb (2016-01-25)
    Traditional testing techniques are not adequate for web-based applications, since they miss their additional features such as their multi-tier nature, hyperlink-based structure, and event-driven feature. Limited work has ...
  • Allocating data to multicomputer nodes by physical optimization algorithms for loosely synchronous computations 
    Mansour, Nashat; Fox, Geoffrey C.; SAS; 198629170; Computer Science and Mathematics; nmansour@lau.edu.lb (2016-01-25)
    Three optimization methods derived from natural sciences are considered for allocating data to multicomputer nodes. These are simulated annealing, genetic algorithms and neural networks. A number of design choices and the ...
  • Multi-marker-LD based genetic algorithm for tag SNP selection 
    Mansour, Nashat; Mouawad, Amer E.; SAS; 198629170; Computer Science and Mathematics; nmansour@lau.edu.lb (2016-01-25)
    Despite the advances in genotyping technologies which have led to large reduction in genotyping cost, the Tag SNP Selection problem remains an important problem for computational biologists and geneticists. Selecting the ...
  • Arab Women, Family, and Labor Market Participation

  • Illiteracy in the Arab world 
    Hammoud, Hassan R.; SAS; 197829180; Social Sciences; hhammoud@lau.edu.lb (2016-01-19)
    This article uses data from UNESCO and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) publications to examine the trends and characteristics of literacy and illiteracy in the Arab countries. The analysis revealed great ...
  • Social work education in developing countries 
    Hammoud, Hassan R.; SAS; 197829180; Social Sciences; hhammoud@lau.edu.lb (2016-01-19)

  • Kalila wa Dimna 
    Marroum, Marianne; SAS; 198629120; English; mmarroum@lau.edu.lb (2016-01-18)
    In this article I argue that René Girard’s modern anthropological theory of mimetic desire that he put forth in Deceit, Desire, and the Novel: Self and Other in Literary Structure and developed in his subsequent books is ...
  • Water and Sand 
    Marroum, Marianne; SAS; 198629120; English; mmarroum@lau.edu.lb (2016-01-18)
