Design patterns discovery in source code : novel technique using substring match

The role of design pattern mining is a very significant strategy of re-engineering as with the help of detection one could easily understand complex systems. Of course, identifying a design pattern is not always a simple task. Additionally, pattern recovering methods often encounter problems dealing with space outburst for extensive systems. This paper introduces a new way to discover a design pattern based on an Impact Analysis matrix followed by substring match. UML diagrams corresponding to codes are created using Visual Paradigm Enterprise. Impact Analysis matrices of these UML diagrams are converted to string format. Considering system code string as main string and design pattern string as a substring, the main string is further decomposed. A substring match technique is developed here to discover design patterns in the source code. Overall, this procedure has the potential to convert the representation of system design and design pattern in ingenious shapes. In addition, this method has the advantage of moderation in the size. Therefore, this approach is beneficial for Software professionals and researchers due to its simplicity.

CORE: Augmenting Regenerating-Coding-Based Recovery for Single and Concurrent Failures in Distributed Storage Systems

Data availability is critical in distributed storage systems, especially when node failures are prevalent in real life. A key requirement is to minimize the amount of data transferred among nodes when recovering the lost or unavailable data of failed nodes. This paper explores recovery solutions based on regenerating codes, which are shown to provide fault-tolerant storage and minimum recovery bandwidth. Existing optimal regenerating codes are designed for single node failures. We build a system called CORE, which augments existing optimal regenerating codes to support a general number of failures including single and concurrent failures. We theoretically show that CORE achieves the minimum possible recovery bandwidth for most cases. We implement CORE and evaluate our prototype atop a Hadoop HDFS cluster testbed with up to 20 storage nodes. We demonstrate that our CORE prototype conforms to our theoretical findings and achieves recovery bandwidth saving when compared to the conventional recovery approach based on erasure codes.Comment: 25 page

Recovering Sparse Signals Using Sparse Measurement Matrices in Compressed DNA Microarrays

Microarrays (DNA, protein, etc.) are massively parallel affinity-based biosensors capable of detecting and quantifying a large number of different genomic particles simultaneously. Among them, DNA microarrays comprising tens of thousands of probe spots are currently being employed to test multitude of targets in a single experiment. In conventional microarrays, each spot contains a large number of copies of a single probe designed to capture a single target, and, hence, collects only a single data point. This is a wasteful use of the sensing resources in comparative DNA microarray experiments, where a test sample is measured relative to a reference sample. Typically, only a fraction of the total number of genes represented by the two samples is differentially expressed, and, thus, a vast number of probe spots may not provide any useful information. To this end, we propose an alternative design, the so-called compressed microarrays, wherein each spot contains copies of several different probes and the total number of spots is potentially much smaller than the number of targets being tested. Fewer spots directly translates to significantly lower costs due to cheaper array manufacturing, simpler image acquisition and processing, and smaller amount of genomic material needed for experiments. To recover signals from compressed microarray measurements, we leverage ideas from compressive sampling. For sparse measurement matrices, we propose an algorithm that has significantly lower computational complexity than the widely used linear-programming-based methods, and can also recover signals with less sparsity

Phase Retrieval via Matrix Completion

This paper develops a novel framework for phase retrieval, a problem which arises in X-ray crystallography, diffraction imaging, astronomical imaging and many other applications. Our approach combines multiple structured illuminations together with ideas from convex programming to recover the phase from intensity measurements, typically from the modulus of the diffracted wave. We demonstrate empirically that any complex-valued object can be recovered from the knowledge of the magnitude of just a few diffracted patterns by solving a simple convex optimization problem inspired by the recent literature on matrix completion. More importantly, we also demonstrate that our noise-aware algorithms are stable in the sense that the reconstruction degrades gracefully as the signal-to-noise ratio decreases. Finally, we introduce some theory showing that one can design very simple structured illumination patterns such that three diffracted figures uniquely determine the phase of the object we wish to recover
