Parallel algorithm for mining fuzzy association rules
The principle and steps of the algorithm for mining fuzzy association rules is studied, and the parallel algorithm for mining fuzzy association rules is presented. In this parallel mining algorithm, quantitative attributes are partitioned into several fuzzy sets by the parallel fuzzy c-means algorithm, and fuzzy sets are applied to soften the partition boundary of the attributes. Then, the parallel algorithm for mining Boolean association rules is improved to discover frequent fuzzy attributes. Last, the fuzzy association rules with at least fuzzy confidence are generated on all processors. The parallel mining algorithm is implemented on the distributed linked PC/workstation. The experiment results show that the parallel mining algorithm has fine scaleup, sizeup and speedup.

Applying Agent into Web Testing and Evolution
Automatic Web testing and evolution is an effective method to ensure the quality of Web applications. In this paper, we apply Agent into this area, i.e. firstly, we explain the necessity and feasibility, and also give the general description of our method; then, we apply Agent into the Web performance testing, Web regression testing and Web usability evolution; conclusion remarks are given at last.

Website evolution based on statistic data
Maintenance and evolution are critical for website since the requirements often change, the developing cycle is short, while the life cycle is long. In order to make progress in this area, we focus on the users' responses and attitudes. So we begin our work at the log files on the side of website server, gathering the users' visiting information and the server's responses. Thus we obtain our weighted structure model. Then, we analyze and discuss such information to identify the key pages, the predominate pages and the users' visiting patterns. And we can improve the testing efficiency based on these knowledge. All these will help to improve the structure of the site, fulfill the functionality of the site, and enhance users' visiting efficiency.

A framework for Web applications testing
Web application testing is concerned with numerous and complicated testing objects, methods and processes. So a testing framework fitting for the properties of Web application is needed to guide and organize all the testing tasks. Based on the analysis for Web application characters and traditional software testing process, the process for Web application testing is modeled, which describes a series of testing flows such as the testing requirement analysis, test cases generation and selection, testing execution, and testing results analysis and measurement. Furthermore, the realization techniques are also investigated so as to integrate each testing step and implement the whole testing process harmoniously and effectively. Thus the framework is suitable for the Internet environment and can guide the Web application testing actively and availably.

A Browser Compatibility Testing Method Based on Combinatorial Testing
For ensuring the displaying effects of Web applications, it is important to perform compatibility testing for browsers under the different configurations and it is a hard task to test all. So this paper focused on the improvements for browser compatibility testing. Firstly, we introduced the related work. Then we analysed the functional speciality of the current popular browsers, and provided the preconditions to simplify problems. Next we gave an instance and brought forward the single factor covering method and the pair-wise covering design to gain testing suits. Finally, we introduced the assistant tools we have developed and the future work.

On mixed Ramsey numbers
Abstract For a graph theoretic parameter f , an integer m and a graph H , the mixed Ramsey number v(f; m; H) is defined as the least positive integer p such that if G is any graph of order p , then either f(G) ⩾ m or Ḡ contains a subgraph isomorphic to H . Let ϱ denote vertex linear arboricity and let H be any connected graph of order n . In this note we show that v(ϱ; m; H) = 1 + (n + n p ( H ) − 2)(m − 1) , where n p ( H ) is the path partition number of H .

On Structure of Some Plane Graphs with Application to Choosability
A graph G=(V, E) is (x, y)-choosable for integers xy?1 if for any given family {A(v)?v?V} of sets A(v) of cardinality x, there exists a collection {B(v)?v?V} of subsets B(v)?A(v) of cardinality y such that B(u)?B(v)=? whenever uv?E(G). In this paper, structures of some plane graphs, including plane graphs with minimum degree 4, are studied. Using these results, we may show that if G is free of k-cycles for some k?{3, 4, 5, 6}, or if any two triangles in G have distance at least 2, then G is (4m, m)-choosable for all nonnegative integers m. When m=1, (4m, m)-choosable is simply 4-choosable. So these conditions are also sufficient for a plane graph to be 4-choosable.

On structure of graphs embedded on surfaces of nonnegative characteristic with application to choosability
In this paper, we prove a structural theorem of Lebesgue's type concerning some unavoidable configurations for graphs which can be embedded on surfaces of nonnegative characteristic and in which no two 3-cycles share a common vertex. As a corollary, we get a result about choosability of graphs embedded in surface of positive characteristic.

On signed edge domination numbers of graphs
Abstract Given a graph G=(V,E) , if e=uv∈E , then the closed edge-neighbourhood of e is denoted by N[e]={u′v′∈E|u′=u or v′=v} . A function f : E→{+1,−1} is called the signed edge domination function (SEDF) of G if ∑ e′∈N[e] f(e′)⩾1 for every e∈E . The signed edge domination number γ s ′(G) of G is defined as γ s ′(G)= min {∑ e∈E f(e) | f is an SEDF of G} . Let Ψ(m)= min {γ s ′(H)|H is a graph with |E(H)|=m} . In this paper, we determine the exact value of Ψ(m) for each positive integer m . That is: Ψ(m)=2 1 3 24m+25 +6m+5 6 −m, where ⌈x⌉ denotes the ceiling of x . In addition, we also characterize all connected graphs G with γ s ′(G)=|E(G)| .
