  • Experimenting with HITS based Algorithms with new Heuristics for assigning the link weights 
    Maroun, Bashir M. (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2001)
    This thesis uses the link structure of the World Wide Web as a basis to create better search engines. It focuses on the HITS algorithm, which was the first algorithm to up the link topology. HITS is implemented with slight modifications and tested with variations of its input parameters. It is also used in order to discover emerging communities in cyberspace. Other related algorithms, which use the link structure of the web as an undirected graph are described and compared with HITS. Finally, an attempt to combine link-based with text-based analysis in order to create more accurate search methods ...
  • Integrating optimization heuristic techniques and GIS for solving the districts determination problem in urban areas 
    Abdel Massih, Hisham (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2000)
    Recent research in Geographic Information Systems (GISs) has created the kind of systems capable of modeling a number of interesting real world phenomena. Some applications where GISs have made significant contribution include routing, scheduling, dispatching, transportation logistics, vehicle tracking, market research, construction Planning, facility management and resource distribution. However, there seems to exist little connection between GIS solutions and much related research being carried out in other disciplines. This thesis studies the advantages of integrating recent research in ...
