Cybersecurity is growing exponentially day by day in both the public and private sectors. This growth also comes with a new and dynamic cyber-threats risk that causes both sectors’ performance to halt. These sectors must update their cybersecurity measures and must understand the capability and maturity of their organization’s cybersecurity preparedness. Cybersecurity maturity models are…

The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is an important component for industrial automatic engineering operation. Hence, the need to comprehend its basis of operation becomes an inevitable task. Some of the problems is industrial PLC is an expensive, pre-built hardware kit, acquisition of programming software and its requisite programming competence is a challenge. Thus, this paper…

This paper focuses on exploring efficient ways to find H2 optimal Structure-Preserving Model Order Reduction (SPMOR) of the second-order systems via interpolatory projection-based method Iterative Rational Krylov Algorithm (IRKA). To get the reduced models of the second- order systems, the classical IRKA deals with the equivalent first-order converted forms and estimates the first-order reduced models.…

Topic classification is a crucial task where knowledge categories exist within hierarchical information systems designed to facilitate knowledge search and discovery. An application of topic classification is article (e.g., journal/conference paper) classification which is very useful for online submission systems. In fact, numerous online journals/magazine submission systems usually receive thousands of article submissions or even…

The effects of Covid-19 severely affected the Thai higher education model. Therefore, there are three significant objectives in this research: (1) to cluster the mindsets and attitudes toward self-regulated learning styles of undergraduate students at the University of Phayao. (2) to construct a predictive model for recommending an appropriate student learning clusters. (3) to evaluate…

After analyzing different sensor…

The classification of static or mobile objects, from a signal or an image containing information as to their structure or their form, constitutes a constant concern of specialists in the electronic field. The remarkable progress made in past years, particularly in the development of neural networks and artificial intelligence systems, has further accentuated this trend.…

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…

Communication is a bilateral process and being understood by the person you are talking to is a must. Without the ability to talk nor hear, a person would endure such handicap. Given that hearing and speech are missing, many have ventured to open new communication methods for them through sign language. This bilateral communication device…

Given ubiquitous digital devices with recording capability, distributed microphone arrays are emerging recording tools for hands-free communications and spontaneous tele-conferencings. However, the analysis of signals recorded with diverse sampling rates, time delays, and qualities by distributed microphone arrays is not straightforward and entails important considerations. The crucial challenges include the unknown/changeable geometry of distributed arrays,…

Information is the driving force of businesses because it can ensure the ability of knowledge and prediction. The railway industry produces a huge volume of data, with the proper processing of them and the use of innovative technology, there is the possibility of beneficial information to be provided which constitute the deciding factor for the…

Augmented Reality applications are gaining popularity while maintaining novelty. Many industries are utilizing the user interface type, and use cases are becoming repeat patterns of problem solutions. Despite this rising popularity, quality has not matured nor has the technology become mainstream. Novelty must be approached as risk, and risk must be evaluated for and tested…

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…

Restoring, estimating the fully 3D hand skeleton and pose from the image data of the captured sensors/cameras applied in many applications of computer vision and robotics: human-computer interaction; gesture recognition, interactive games, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), sign languages, action recognition, etc. These are applications that flourish in Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) technologies. Previous survey…

The human brain is one of the most complex machines on the planet. Being the only method to get real-time data with high temporal resolution from the brain makes EEG a highly sought upon signal in the neurological and psychiatric domain. However, recent developments in this field have made EEG more than just a tool…
