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.

An approach to domain-based scalable context management architecture in pervasive environments (2011)
Journal Article
Jaroucheh, Z., Liu, X., & Smith, S. (2012). An approach to domain-based scalable context management architecture in pervasive environments. Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, 16(6), 741-755. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00779-011-0422-0

In pervasive environments, context management systems are expected to administrate large volume of contextual information that is captured from spatial to nonspatial elements. Research in context-aware computing produced a number of middleware system... Read More about An approach to domain-based scalable context management architecture in pervasive environments.
