University of Macau’s PhD Student Zhou Jin receives a Best Paper Award at ICSSE 2012
澳大博士生周勁獲最佳論文獎

Zhou Jin, a PhD student of the Department of Computer and Information Science, Faculty of Science and Technology (FST), University of Macau (UM), received the “Best Paper Award (Final List)”, at the 2012 International Conference on System Science and Engineering (ICSSE 2012).

More than 120 papers from around the world were presented at ICSSE 2012, which was held in Dalian, China. Only six were selected as the best papers. Best paper award recipients are from Indian Statistical Institute, the City University of Hong Kong, Taiwan University, Taiwan Chung-Hsing University, the University of Science and Technology Liaoning, and UM, among others.

Zhou’s paper, titled “Parallel Attribute-Weighted Fuzzy C-Means Algorithms for Clustering”, and co-authored with FST Dean Prof. Philip Chen and Assistant Professor of the Department of Computer and Information Science Dr. Chen Long, was selected as one of the six best papers, for its contribution in providing a novel data clustering approach in distributive environments such as wireless sensor networks.

As a fundamental data mining algorithm, the attribute-weighted parallel clustering algorithm can be widely applied in complex networking systems such as the Internet of Things, intelligent transportation systems and cloud computing, especially in public networks. The proposed parallel clustering algorithm can effectively decrease the network’s energy consumption as well as provide kernel services for decision-making.

ICSSE is an international conference for scientists, engineers, and industry practitioners from all over the world to present their latest design concepts, research results, developments, and applications about systems science and engineering. ICSSE is sponsored by IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society. ICSSE 2011 was held at UM, and ICSSE 2012 was hosted by Dalian University of Technology, with financial support from the National Nature Science Foundation of China. ICSSE 2013 will be held in Budapest, Hungary.

澳門大學科技學院電腦及資訊科學系博士生周勁在二○一二年系統科學與工程國際會議上獲最佳論文獎。導師為該院院長陳俊龍教授和電腦及資訊科學系陳龍助理教授。

會議於大連舉行,超過一百二十篇論文於會上發表,最後僅有六份優秀論文能入選為最佳論文。獲獎者分別來自印度統計學院、香港城市大學、台灣大學、台灣中興大學、遼寧科技大學、澳大等。

澳大周勁發表的論文《並行屬性加權模糊C均值聚類算法》,為分佈環境(如:無線傳感器網絡)提供一種新的數據聚類方法,可廣泛應用到物聯網、智慧交通、雲計算等大型網路系統中,特別是在節能及環境關注(energy saving & environment concern)的公共網路環境中,該方法不僅可以為公眾提供核心的決策支援服務,亦能有效地減少網路能源的需求。

系統科學與工程國際會議是一個為世界各地科學家、工程師及從業員發表有關系統科學與工程的設計概念、研究成果、發展及應用的國際會議,由IEEE系統、人與控制學學會贊助。二○一一年的系統科學與工程國際會議在澳大舉行,本年的國際會議在大連理工大學舉行並得到國家自然科學基金委員會資助,而二○一三年的國際會議將在匈牙利布達佩斯舉行。
