Prediction of Boiler Output Variables Through
the PLS Linear Regression Technique

2Department of Engineering and Technology, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
Abstract: In this work, we propose to use the linear regression partial least square method to predict the output variables of the RA1G boiler. This method consists in finding the regression of an output block regarding an input block. These two blocks represent the outputs and inputs of the process. A criterion of cross validation, based on the calculation of the predicted residual sum of squares, is used to select the components of the model in the partial least square regression. The obtained results illustrate the effectiveness of this method for prediction purposes.
Keywords:Partial least square, principal component analysis, principal component regression, covariance, predicted residual sum of squares.
Zest Based Visualization for
Requirements Negotiation
Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology, University of Malaya, Malaysia
Abstract: Win-Win is one of the most common models which help systems stakeholders resolve conflicts during system Requirements Negotiation (RN). Solving conflicts, however, is barely dependent on visualizing the negotiation itself. The Zest algorithm was invented to visualize a standard e-mail discussion and demonstrate a concise overview of the discussion to facilitate a more productive one. This research sought to use this algorithm in visualizing the RN process in groupware. We have formulated a conceptual diagram on which to base the design and development process of the groupware for implementing the Zest algorithm. Our implementation of the algorithm has later been enhanced to produce more types of visualizations in relation to RN.
Keywords: Win-Win model, Requirements negotiation, visualization, Zest algorithm, groupware.
