With the current emerging development pattern in Malaysia, E-Government has been unveiled by the Malaysian Government to be one of the multimedia super corridor flagship applications to implement digital technology to improve government operations. E-procurement was originally utilized by businesses to minimize turnaround times and prices, but recently it was often used as a platform…

The article considers the task of developing a fuzzy-logical PID-type controller for a nonlinear dynamic system. A feature of the structure is presented, which consists in simplifying its controller by decomposition. In the simplest version, three fuzzy controllers are used with one input and one output and separate rule bases. Parameters of fuzzy controllers are…

Knowledge Management processes present a vital role in improving AI systems and algorithms. Many studies and reviews were carried out to examine the relationship between KM processes and AI systems. However, studies were focusing on specific methods and the impact on some AI algorithms, neglecting the role of other KM processes and how it may…

Soil moisture is a fundamental factor for smart farming that is used to control the water management system. In this paper, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) small cell (UAV-SC) can provide Internet of things (IoT) as the hotspot mobility network, due to the minimum limitation energy of connected IoT. The development of ground sensor (GS)…

The dynamic modelling of an airship is the primary requirement in designing and developing a control system for a particular application. Extracting/predicting/modelling the aerodynamic coefficients is a crucial step towards the modelling of an airship. There is a huge amount of literature on the aerodynamic modelling of airships which presents experimental as well as analytical…

In this work, we completed a validation of the Varian Clinac IX equipped with the High Definition Multi-Leaf Collimator (HD 120 MLC) instead of the removable jaws, using GATE Monte Carlo Platform version 8.2. We validated the multileaf collimator (MLC) geometry by simulating two dosimetric functions (Percentage Depth Dose (PDD) and Dose Profile (DP)), for…

In today’s Moroccan business environment, companies need to implement organization agility by developing an agile workforce that is able to deal with the environment volatility. Thus, the agile workforce concept has been appeared as a necessary and sufficient condition to achieve agility. Focusing on agile enablers influencing workforce agility is an important area but currently…

Many organisations adopt and implement information technology (IT) but fail to operationalise it. As a result, the process of implementation is continually repeated without achieving the goals and objectives, which are often to gain competitive advantage and sustainability. This study employs structuration theory as lens to examine and understand the factors that influence operationalisation of…

Many advances in computer systems and IT infrastructures increases the risks associated with the use of these technologies. Specifically, intrusion into computer systems by unauthorized users is a growing problem and it is very challenging to detect. Intrusion detection technologies are therefore becoming extremely important to improve the overall security of computer systems. In the…

Several drive mechanisms for different robots are at hand in current days. Bicycle steering, Ackerman steering, differential drive are some principal drive mechanisms that are being deployed in robots these days. The differential drive needs the wheel rotations to be updated very frequently. But it is most commonly deployed on the robots with two wheels…

With the current amount of data nowadays, the need for processing power has vastly grown. By relying on CPU processing power, current processing power is depending on the frequency and parallelism of the current CPU device. This means this method will lead to increased power consumption. Current research has shown that by utilize the power…

This paper presents a solution that automates Abaca fiber grading which would help the time-consuming baling of Abaca fiber produce. The study introduces an objective instrument paired with a system to automate the grade classification of Abaca fiber using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). In this study, 140 sample images of abaca fibers were used, which…

Human behavior quantification is an essential part of psychological science. One of the cases is measuring human personality. Social media provide rich text, which can be beneficial as a data source to get valuable insight. Previous researches show that social media offered favorable circumstances for psychological researchers by tracking, analyzing, and predicting human character. In…

Over time, several routing protocols have been suggested for use in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). Because of availability of so many MANETs routing protocols, network engineers and administrators face difficulties in identifying an appropriate routing protocol for a particular scenario. This challenge results from the unavailability of adequate technical analytic studies designed to examine…

The development of electronic healthcare systems requires to adopt modern technologies and architectures. The use of Electronic Personal Health Record (E-PHR) should be supported by efficient storage such as cloud storage which enables more security, availability and accessibility of patients’ records. Actually, the increase of availability of E-PHR enhances parallel access, which improves the performance…

This article considers the creation of a program / website as an example of a centralized system for all universities in order to more easily familiarize an applicant and / or student with the internal politics and capabilities of the university. Existing problems in the training system are examined, why distance learning is relevant, what…

The need to optimally explore Nigeria’s diverse mineral resource endowments via sustainable value chain practices has, in recent times, been the focus of the Nigerian government and relevant stakeholders. This development has amongst other things, been made a necessity since the decline in Nigeria’s crude oil export and earnings, as well as the increased effort…

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have begun rapidly adopting, selecting and implementing ERP systems due to the call by various governments to streamline their processes and practices. While ERPs are expanding at much faster rate, there is pressure on most HEIs to ensure quality. For quality model, ISO/IEC 25010 is an international standard for software and…

In this paper, the vulnerabilities and the security attacks against vehicular networks, SDN architecture and some security solutions for SDVN are studied. Secondly, a complete and improved version of the secure HSDN-GRA routing protocol based on a distributed trust model is proposed where public keys of the vehicles are managed in a distributed way. Besides,…

To supply a stable and efficient electricity, small-scaled wind turbine’s brake system plays an immense role in various wind speeds. Small-wind power generation systems are difficult to operate in strong wind region since the turbine could be over-rotated and damaged if the brake system is not robust enough to maintain a stable angular velocity. Most…

Immersive output and natural input are two core aspects of a virtual reality experience. Current systems are frequently operated by a controller or gesture-based approach. However, these techniques are either very accurate but require an effort to learn, or very natural but miss haptic feedback for optimal precision. We transfer ubiquitous touch interaction with haptic…

In recent years, several projects which are supported by information and communications technologies (ICT) have been developed in the agricultural domain to promote more precise agricultural activities.
