Novel logistic regression models to aid the diagnosis of dementia (2011)
Journal Article
Mazzocco, T., & Hussain, A. (2012). Novel logistic regression models to aid the diagnosis of dementia. Expert Systems with Applications, 39(3), 3356-3361. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eswa.2011.09.023

Clinicians often experience difficulties in the diagnosis of dementia due to the intrinsic complexity of the process and lack of comprehensive diagnostic tools. Different models have been proposed to provide medical decision support in dementia diagn... Read More about Novel logistic regression models to aid the diagnosis of dementia.

Cognitive Computation Special Issue on Cognitive Behavioural Systems (2011)
Journal Article
Esposito, A., Vinciarelli, A., Haykin, S., Hussain, A., & Faundez-Zanuy, M. (2011). Cognitive Computation Special Issue on Cognitive Behavioural Systems. Cognitive Computation, 3(3), 417-418. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12559-011-9107-2

Cognitive processes, such as inference, categorization, and memory, are not independent from their physical instantiations. Individuals’ choices, perception, and actions emerge and are dynamically affected and enhanced by the interaction between sens...

Agent-based computing from multi-agent systems to agent-based models: A visual survey (2011)
Journal Article
Niazi, M., & Hussain, A. (2011). Agent-based computing from multi-agent systems to agent-based models: A visual survey. Scientometrics, 89, 479-499. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-011-0468-9

Agent-based computing is a diverse research domain concerned with the building of intelligent software based on the concept of “agents”. In this paper, we use Scientometric analysis to analyze all sub-domains of agent-based computing. Our data consis...

A discrete event system specification (DEVS)-based model of consanguinity (2011)
Journal Article
Akhtar, N., Niazi, M., Mustafa, F., & Hussain, A. (2011). A discrete event system specification (DEVS)-based model of consanguinity. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 285(1), 103-112. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2011.05.038

Consanguinity or inter-cousin marriage is a phenomenon quite prevalent in certain regions around the globe. Consanguineous parents have a higher risk of having offspring with congenital disorders. It is difficult to model large scale consanguineous p... Read More about A discrete event system specification (DEVS)-based model of consanguinity.

Sentic Web: A New Paradigm for Managing Social Media Affective Information (2011)
Journal Article

Improved multiple description wavelet based image coding using subband uniform quantization (2011)
Journal Article
Khelil, K., Hussain, A., Bekka, R. E., & Berrezzek, F. (2011). Improved multiple description wavelet based image coding using subband uniform quantization. International journal of electronics and communications = Archiv fur Elektronik und Ubertragungstec

The objective of multiple description coding (MDC) is to encode a source into multiple descriptions supporting different quality levels of reconstruction. In this paper, we use the multiple description transform coding (MDTC) algorithm based on the w...

Sensing emergence in complex systems (2011)
Journal Article
Niazi, M. A., & Hussain, A. (2011). Sensing emergence in complex systems. IEEE Sensors Journal, 11(10), 2479-2480. https://doi.org/10.1109/JSEN.2011.2142303

We propose the Sensing of Emergent behavior in a Complex Adaptive System (SECAS), as an extension of our previous work Formal Agent-Based Simulation Framework (FABS). Using aggregated data from an array of proximity sensors, SECAS allows for the dete... Read More about Sensing emergence in complex systems.
