  • Mapping realistic data sets on parallel computers 
    Mansour, N.; Ponnusamy, R.; Choudhary, A.; Fox, G.C. (IEEE Xplore, )
    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 ...
  • Parallel processing 
    Mansour, Nashat; Fox, Geoffrey C. (Springer, )
    Parallel algorithms, based on simulated annealing, neural networks and genetic algorithms, for mapping irregular data to multicomputers are presented and compared. The three algorithms deviate from the sequential versions ...

    SAS; 198629170; 199729410; Computer Science and Mathematics; Mansour, Nashat; Haraty, Ramzi A.; Daou, Bassel A.; nmansour@lau.edu.lb; rharaty@lau.edu.lb; Lebanese American University (HersheyPa, )
  • Graph contraction for physical optimization methods 
    Mansour, Nashat (ACM, )
    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 ...
  • Performance evaluation of load balancing algorithms for parallel single-phase iterative PDE solvers 
    Mansour, N.; Chrisochoides, N.; Fox, G. (IEEE Xplore, )
    We review and evaluate the performances of six data mapping algorithms used for parallel single-phase iterative PDE solvers with irregular 2-dimensional meshes on multicomputers. We provide a table that compares the six ...
  • Natural optimization algorithms for optimal regression testing 
    Mansour, Nashat (IEEE Xplore, )
    The optimal regression testing problem is that of determining the minimum number of test cases needed for revalidating modified software in the maintenance phase. The present two natural optimization algorithms, namely ...
  • A comparative study of five regression testing algorithms 
    Mansour, N.; Baradhi, G. (IEEE Xplore, )
    We compare five regression testing algorithms that include: slicing, incremental, firewall, genetic and simulated annealing algorithms. The comparison is based on the following ten quantitative and qualitative criteria: ...
  • Heuristics for graph decomposition 
    Mansour, N.; Dana, T.; Tabbara, H. (IEEE Xplore, )
    The problem addressed in this paper is that of decomposing a weighted graph into a specified number of subgraphs such that these subgraphs have balanced sums of vertex weights and minimal sums of edge weights. To find a ...
  • Spreadsheet model for MorphoSys RC array 
    Mansour, N.; Diab, H.; Abdennour, E. (IEEE Xplore, )
    This paper introduces reconfigurable computing and MorphoSys, which is a reconfigurable system. It also explains the architecture of its reconfigurable hardware part. Then, it presents two spreadsheet models for the operation ...
  • Methods and metrics for selective regression testing 
    Mansour, N.; Bahsoon, R. (IEEE Xplore, )
    In corrective software maintenance, selective regression testing includes test selection from previously-run test suites and test coverage identification. We propose three reduction-based regression test selection methods ...
  • Software quality improvement model for small organizations 
    Mansour, Nashat; Zeineddine, Rabih (Springer, )
    Small software organizations are not capable of bearing the cost of establishing classical software process improvement programs. In this work, we propose a new software quality improvement model for small organizations ...
  • Modeling web systems using SDL 
    Mansour, Nashat; Syriani, Joe Abboud (Springer, )
    We propose modeling the architecture of web systems using the Specification and Description Language (SDL), which is a formal language. SDL is shown to be quite convenient for modeling features of web systems such as ...
  • Growing hierarchical self-organizing map for filtering intrusion detection alarms 
    Mansour, Nashat; Faour, Ahmad; Shehab, Maya (IEEE Xplore, )
    A Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) monitors all network actions and generates alarms when it detects suspicious attempts. We present a data mining technique to assist network administrators to analyze and reduce ...
  • Allocation and re-allocation of data in a grid using an adaptive genetic algorithm 
    Mansour, N.; Kawash, J.; El-Fakih, K.; Siefoddini, H. (IEEE Xplore, )
    Siefoddini, H., El-Fakih, K., Kawash, J., & Mansour, N. (2006, March). Allocation and re-allocation of data in a grid using an adaptive genetic algorithm. In Computer Systems and Applications, 2006. IEEE International ...
  • Regression testing web services-based applications 
    Mansour, Nashat; Tarhini, Abbas; Fouchal, Hacene
    Web applications can be composed of heterogeneous selfcontained web services. Such applications are usually modified to fix errors or to enhance their functionality. After modifications, regression testing is essential to ...
  • International Conference on Advanced Computer Theory and Engineering, 2008 
    Mansour, Nashat; Ismail, Zahi; Tarhini, Abbas; SAS; 198629170; 199107350; Computer Science and Mathematics; nmansour@lau.edu.lb; abbas.tarhini@lau.edu.lb; Lebanese American University (IEEE Xplore, )
    A web application is an application that can be accessed via a web browser over a network. Web applications contain client side code and server side code. Web applications undergo changes in the maintenance phase, and ...
  • Ripple effect in web applications 
    Mansour, Nashat; Baba, Nabil; SAS; 198629170; Computer Science and Mathematics; nmansour@lau.edu.lb; Lebanese American University
    The number of internet web applications is rapidly increasing in a variety of fields and not much work has been done for ensuring their quality, especially after modification. Modifying any part of a web application may ...
  • 2010 Sixth International Conference on Natural Computation (ICNC) 
    Mansour, Nashat; Kanj, Fatima; Khachfe, Hassan; SAS; 198629170; Computer Science and Mathematics; nmansour@lau.edu.lb; Lebanese American University (IEEE Xplore, )
    A protein is characterized by its 3D structure, which defines its biological function. The protein structure prediction problem has real-world significance where several diseases are associated with the wrong folding of ...
