A tool for generating synthetic data (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Peng, T., & Telle, A. (2018, October). A tool for generating synthetic data. Presented at DATA '18 First International Conference on Data Science, E-learning and Information Systems, Madrid, Spain

It is popular to use real-world data to evaluate data mining techniques. However, there are some disadvantages to use real-world data for such purposes. Firstly, real-world data in most domains is difficult to obtain for several reasons, such as budg... Read More about A tool for generating synthetic data.

A Dual-spine Approach to Load Error Repair in a HEMS Sensor Network (2018)
Journal Article
Liu, X., Liu, Q., & Sun, M. (2018). A Dual-spine Approach to Load Error Repair in a HEMS Sensor Network. Computers, Materials & Continua, 57(2), 179-194. https://doi.org/10.32604/cmc.2018.04025

In a home energy management system (HEMS), appliances are becoming diversified and intelligent, so that certain simple maintenance work can be completed by appliances themselves. During the measurement, collection and transmission of electricity load... Read More about A Dual-spine Approach to Load Error Repair in a HEMS Sensor Network.

An optimized Speculative Execution Strategy Based on Local Data Prediction in Heterogeneous Hadoop Environment (2018)
Journal Article
