Abstract: Realistic systems generally are systems with various
inputs and outputs also known as Multiple Input Multiple Output
(MIMO). Such systems usually prove to be complex and difficult to
model and control purposes. Therefore, decomposition was used to
separate individual inputs and outputs. A PID is assigned to each
individual pair to regulate desired settling time. Suitable parameters
of PIDs obtained from Genetic Algorithm (GA), using Mean of
Squared Error (MSE) objective function.
Abstract: In practice, we often come across situations where it is
necessary to make decisions based on incomplete or uncertain data.
In control systems it may be due to the unknown exact mathematical
model, or its excessive complexity (e.g. nonlinearity) when it is
necessary to simplify it, respectively, to solve it using a rule base. In
the case of databases, searching data we compare a similarity
measure with of the requirements of the selection with stored data,
where both the select query and the data itself may contain vague
terms, for example in the form of linguistic qualifiers. In this paper,
we focus on the processing of uncertain data in databases and
demonstrate it on the example multi-criteria decision making in the
selection of variants, specified by higher number of technical
parameters.
Abstract: Classification is an important topic in machine learning
and bioinformatics. Many datasets have been introduced for
classification tasks. A dataset contains multiple features, and the quality of features influences the classification accuracy of the dataset.
The power of classification for each feature differs. In this study, we
suggest the Classification Influence Index (CII) as an indicator of classification power for each feature. CII enables evaluation of the
features in a dataset and improved classification accuracy by transformation of the dataset. By conducting experiments using CII
and the k-nearest neighbor classifier to analyze real datasets, we confirmed that the proposed index provided meaningful improvement
of the classification accuracy.
Abstract: This paper compares six approaches of object serialization
from qualitative and quantitative aspects. Those are object
serialization in Java, IDL, XStream, Protocol Buffers, Apache Avro,
and MessagePack. Using each approach, a common example is
serialized to a file and the size of the file is measured. The qualitative
comparison works are investigated in the way of checking whether
schema definition is required or not, whether schema compiler is
required or not, whether serialization is based on ascii or binary, and
which programming languages are supported. It is clear that there
is no best solution. Each solution makes good in the context it was
developed.
Abstract: Artificial Intelligence based gaming is an interesting topic in the state-of-art technology. This paper presents an automation of a tradition Omani game, called Al-Hawalees. Its related issues are resolved and implemented using artificial intelligence approach. An AI approach called mini-max procedure is incorporated to make a diverse budges of the on-line gaming. If number of moves increase, time complexity will be increased in terms of propositionally. In order to tackle the time and space complexities, we have employed a back propagation neural network (BPNN) to train in off-line to make a decision for resources required to fulfill the automation of the game. We have utilized Leverberg- Marquardt training in order to get the rapid response during the gaming. A set of optimal moves is determined by the on-line back propagation training fashioned with alpha-beta pruning. The results and analyses reveal that the proposed scheme will be easily incorporated in the on-line scenario with one player against the system.
Abstract: This paper presents an adaptive nonlinear position
controller with velocity constraint, capable of combining the
input-output linearization technique and Lyapunov stability theory.
Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, the adaptation law of the
proposed controller is derived along with the verification of the overall
system-s stability. Computer simulation results demonstrate that the
proposed controller is robust and it can ensure transient stability of
BLDCM, under the occurrence of a large sudden fault.
Abstract: Recently, Jia et al. proposed a remote user authentication scheme using bilinear pairings and an Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem (ECC). However, the scheme is vulnerable to privileged insider attack at their proposed registration phase and to forgery attack at their proposed authentication phase. In addition, the scheme can be vulnerable to server spoofing attack because it does not provide mutual authentication between the user and the remote server. Therefore, this paper points out that the Jia et al. scheme is vulnerable to the above three attacks.
Abstract: In this paper, a near lossless image coding scheme
based on Orthogonal Polynomials Transform (OPT) has been
presented. The polynomial operators and polynomials basis operators
are obtained from set of orthogonal polynomials functions for the
proposed transform coding. The image is partitioned into a number of
distinct square blocks and the proposed transform coding is applied to
each of these individually. After applying the proposed transform
coding, the transformed coefficients are rearranged into a sub-band
structure. The Embedded Zerotree (EZ) coding algorithm is then
employed to quantize the coefficients. The proposed transform is
implemented for various block sizes and the performance is
compared with existing Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) transform
coding scheme.
Abstract: The performance of sensor-less controlled induction
motor drive depends on the accuracy of the estimated speed.
Conventional estimation techniques being mathematically complex
require more execution time resulting in poor dynamic response. The
nonlinear mapping capability and powerful learning algorithms of
neural network provides a promising alternative for on-line speed
estimation. The on-line speed estimator requires the NN model to be
accurate, simpler in design, structurally compact and computationally
less complex to ensure faster execution and effective control in real
time implementation. This in turn to a large extent depends on the
type of Neural Architecture. This paper investigates three types of
neural architectures for on-line speed estimation and their
performance is compared in terms of accuracy, structural
compactness, computational complexity and execution time. The
suitable neural architecture for on-line speed estimation is identified
and the promising results obtained are presented.
Abstract: The use of Quantum dots is a promising emerging
Technology for implementing digital system at the nano level. It is
effecient for attractive features such as faster speed , smaller size and
low power consumption than transistor technology. In this paper,
various Combinational and sequential logical structures - HALF
ADDER, SR Latch and Flip-Flop, D Flip-Flop preceding NAND,
NOR, XOR,XNOR are discussed based on QCA design, with
comparatively less number of cells and area. By applying these
layouts, the hardware requirements for a QCA design can be reduced.
These structures are designed and simulated using QCA Designer
Tool. By taking full advantage of the unique features of this
technology, we are able to create complete circuits on a single layer
of QCA. Such Devices are expected to function with ultra low
power Consumption and very high speeds.
Abstract: In this paper we present the deep study about the Bio-
Medical Images and tag it with some basic extracting features (e.g.
color, pixel value etc). The classification is done by using a nearest
neighbor classifier with various distance measures as well as the
automatic combination of classifier results. This process selects a
subset of relevant features from a group of features of the image. It
also helps to acquire better understanding about the image by
describing which the important features are. The accuracy can be
improved by increasing the number of features selected. Various
types of classifications were evolved for the medical images like
Support Vector Machine (SVM) which is used for classifying the
Bacterial types. Ant Colony Optimization method is used for optimal
results. It has high approximation capability and much faster
convergence, Texture feature extraction method based on Gabor
wavelets etc..
Abstract: This paper presents a fuzzy control system for a three degree of freedom (3-DOF) stabilized platform with explicit decoupling scheme. The system under consideration is a system with strong interactions between three channels. By using the concept of decentralized control, a control structure is developed that is composed of three control loops, each of which is associated with a single-variable fuzzy controller and a decoupling unit. Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy control algorithm is used to implement the fuzzy controller. The decoupling units design is based on the adaptive theory reasoning. Simulation tests were established using Simulink of Matlab. The obtained results have demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach. Simulation results are represented in this paper.
Abstract: Well-developed strategic marketing planning is the essential
prerequisite for establishment of the right and unique competitive
advantage. Typical market, however, is a heterogeneous
and decentralized structure with natural involvement of individual
or group subjectivity and irrationality. These features cannot be
fully expressed with one-shot rigorous formal models based on,
e.g. mathematics, statistics or empirical formulas. We present an
innovative solution, extending the domain of agent based computational
economics towards the concept of hybrid modeling in service
provider and consumer market such as telecommunications. The
behavior of the market is described by two classes of agents -
consumer and service provider agents - whose internal dynamics
are fundamentally different. Customers are rather free multi-state
structures, adjusting behavior and preferences quickly in accordance
with time and changing environment. Producers, on the contrary,
are traditionally structured companies with comparable internal processes
and specific managerial policies. Their business momentum is
higher and immediate reaction possibilities limited. This limitation
underlines importance of proper strategic planning as the main
process advising managers in time whether to continue with more
or less the same business or whether to consider the need for future
structural changes that would ensure retention of existing customers
or acquisition of new ones.

the check system for geocoded address.
Abstract: This paper presents a studyof the impact of reference
node locations on the accuracy of the indoor positioning systems. In
particular, we analyze the localization accuracy of the RSSI database
mapping techniques, deploying on the IEEE 802.15.4 wireless
networks. The results show that the locations of the reference nodes
used in the positioning systems affect the signal propagation
characteristics in the service area. Thisin turn affects the accuracy of the wireless indoor positioning system. We found that suitable
location of reference nodes could reduce the positioning error upto 35 %.
Abstract: The feature extraction method(s) used to recognize
hand-printed characters play an important role in ICR applications.
In order to achieve high recognition rate for a recognition system, the
choice of a feature that suits for the given script is certainly an
important task. Even if a new feature required to be designed for a
given script, it is essential to know the recognition ability of the
existing features for that script. Devanagari script is being used in
various Indian languages besides Hindi the mother tongue of majority
of Indians. This research examines a variety of feature extraction
approaches, which have been used in various ICR/OCR applications,
in context to Devanagari hand-printed script. The study is conducted
theoretically and experimentally on more that 10 feature extraction
methods. The various feature extraction methods have been evaluated
on Devanagari hand-printed database comprising more than 25000
characters belonging to 43 alphabets. The recognition ability of the
features have been evaluated using three classifiers i.e. k-NN, MLP
and SVM.

Abstract: This study, focusing on the importance of encouraging
outdoor activities for children, aims to propose and implement a Web-GIS based outdoor education program for junior high schools,
which will then be evaluated by users. Specifically, for the purpose of improved outdoor activities in the junior high school education, the
outdoor education program, with chiefly using the Web-GIS that provides a good information provision and sharing tool, is proposed
and implemented before being evaluated by users. The conclusion of
this study can be summarized in the following two points.
(1) A five -step outdoor education program based on Web-GIS was
proposed for a “second school" at junior high schools that was then implemented before being evaluated by teachers as users.
(2) Based on the results of evaluation by teachers, it was clear that the general operation of Web-GIS based outdoor education program with them only is difficult due to their lack of knowledge regarding Web-GIS and that support staff who can effectively utilize Web-GIS are essential.
Abstract: One of research issues in social network analysis is to
evaluate the position/importance of users in social networks. As the
information diffusion in social network is evolving, it seems difficult
to evaluate the importance of users using traditional approaches. In
this paper, we propose an evaluation approach for user importance
with fractal view in social networks. In this approach, the global importance
(Fractal Importance) and the local importance (Topological
Importance) of nodes are considered. The basic idea is that the bigger
the product of fractal importance and topological importance of a
node is, the more important of the node is. We devise the algorithm
called TFRank corresponding to the proposed approach. Finally, we
evaluate TFRank by experiments. Experimental results demonstrate
our TFRank has the high correlations with PageRank algorithm
and potential ranking algorithm, and it shows the effectiveness and
advantages of our approach.
Abstract: An embedded system for SEU(single event upset) test
needs to be designed to prevent system failure by high-energy particles
during measuring SEU. SEU is a phenomenon in which the data is changed temporary in semiconductor device caused by high-energy particles. In this paper, we present an embedded system for
SRAM(static random access memory) SEU test. SRAMs are on the DUT(device under test) and it is separated from control board which
manages the DUT and measures the occurrence of SEU. It needs to
have considerations for preventing system failure while managing the
DUT and making an accurate measurement of SEUs. We measure the occurrence of SEUs from five different SRAMs at three different
cyclotron beam energies 30, 35, and 40MeV. The number of SEUs of SRAMs ranges from 3.75 to 261.00 in average.
