Service providers are transferring their static optical transport networks from semi-permanent connections to agile automatic switched optical networks (ASON) with dynamic optical connection provisioning and restoration. To achieve this goal, service providers are looking for flexible optical network ROADMs with CDC capabilities. Although many contention scenarios during network connection provisioning and restoration have been illustrated,…

The idea of monitoring several types of parameters in various environments has been motivating significant research works in Internet of Things (IoT). This paper presents the design and construction of iSensA, a system for integrating and collecting information from sensors. The solution implements a multi-sensor monitoring system and then expands the monitoring concept to an…

A mobile retail app is a growing innovation in a retailing setting and there is an argument on the prominent status of a mobile application in contrast with a mobile website and web applications. The study used quantitative data to run multiple regression analysis with keen attention to linear regression assumption and compare four models…

Although there are many research domains with very good software support and workflow automation, there are even more which do not have it: software development is too expensive to create domain specific applications for every research topic. This leaves many domain experts to work for example with general purpose image processing and statistics tools. Many…

There are high expectations for commercial cloud services as an economical computation resource when executing scientific computing workflows, for which the computation is increasing on a daily basis. However, no method has been developed for determining whether a scientific computing workflow can be executed at a low usage cost, and thus scientists have difficulty in…

Acute Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack), a Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is one of the major killers worldwide. Around one thousand data has been collected from AMI patients, people are at risk of maybe a heart attack and individuals with the significant features closely related to heart attack. The sophistication in mobile technology, health care applications…

Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Single Sign on (SSO) are two security concepts that are related to each other. IAM governs the user access in an organization whereas SSO facilitates the user by authenticating to one centralized application and not having to re-authenticate when trying to access other applications. This paper addresses the different…

Usually, after properly biasing an analog circuit we need to linearize its transistors in order to linearize the entire circuit for performance analysis and design. This linearization is done through modeling of devices, which is becoming more and more complicated as the electronic technology advances. This is not of course a major issue for circuit…

In most industrial high-power applications, the brushless DC (BLDC) motor is connected to multi-level inverters specially the three-level NPC inverters (B12). Torque ripple is a critical issue in BLDC motor drives. Accordingly, minimizing the ripple produced in the torque is necessary to enhance the BLDC motor drive performances. This paper aims to develop two direct…

A design of elliptical printed dipole antenna based on neural network approach is presented in this paper for recent WiMAX, Bluetooth, WLAN, LTE, and future 5G applications. The dipole patch is printed on top of substrate which has relative permittivity of 2.2 and 0.787mm of thickness. The elliptical dipole antenna is single band and the…

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications can take big advantage of Context Awareness approaches. Parameters such as user mobility, passengers comfort reaction and pollution emission levels (CO2) can enrich such applications during the decision making phase. Moreover, the expanding in ITS services offers great opportunities for travelers to find the best route to reach their destinations…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented in the 19th International Conference on Computer Supported Education and Information Technology. This paper identifies motivational factors that ensure the initiation and effective implementation of mathematical activity. These factors are in subordination to each other, forming a hierarchical dependence. At the heart of this hierarchy is…

Network motif analysis has several applications in many different fields such as biological study and social network modeling, yet motif detection tools are still limited by the intensive computation. Currently, there are two categories for network motif detection method: network-centric and motif-centric approach. While most network-centric algorithms excel in enumerating all potential motifs of a…

This work introduces the design and prototype development of a novel optical-based fingertip force sensor, which is integrated in a bio-mimetic finger for robotic and prosthetic manipulation. Given the optical nature of the sensor, the proposed device is free of any electrical and metal components. Accordingly, the design improves manipulation of objects with high electromagnetic…

Finding similarity of textual data is very important task in natural language processing. In this article we present approach to finding similarity of words, paragraphs, sentences and documents. Semantic similarity is one of the central tasks in many applications, including text summarization, Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) etc. In ITS sentence similarity is used to compare…

The number of smart devices inside the living environments grows more and more every day, and with it the need to interface them in order to share data and activate functions.

Virtual Reality (VR) technology has become one of the most advanced techniques that is used currently in many fields. The role of education is extremely important in every society; therefore, it should always be updated to be in line with new technologies and lifestyles. Applying technology in education enhances the way of teaching and learning.…

Today, computing devices of various types with wireless interconnections are used for diverse tasks and increasingly in ad hoc manners. It is not always obvious which devices are present, reachable, and connected when users and their devices are mobile. In such mobile computing environment, the number of registered lines on the network via network operators…
