Aging is a natural process that progressively introduces limitations in a person’s life, which can have dramatic effects on the person’s lifestyle and wellbeing and in most cases is related to the strength of the person’s social bonds with the family and friends group. Therefore, it is important to maintain these bonds in the various…

In this paper the front-end power solution for automotive ADAS electronic systems is analyzed. The increased complexity of electronic systems in ADAS automotive brings new challenges for hardware design, especially with regard to improving the efficiency of the switched-mode power supply while maintaining the overall cost reasonably low and keeping the occupied area on the…

The increased motivation (by service providers) to offer user-centric and seamless communication services – that satisfies users’ quality of experience (QoE), has manifested a myriad of challenges in the field of wireless communication; and given the increased traffic capacity and sudden explosion of cellular devices, communication systems are constantly threatened by performance related issues –…

In this paper, a secure elevator handling system is presented to enable a flexible movement of wheeled mobile robots among laboratories distributed in different floors. The automated handling system consists mainly of an ADAM module which has the ability to call the elevator to the robot’s current floor and to request the destination floor. The…

When two robot systems can share understanding using any agreed knowledge, within the constraints of the system’s communication protocol, the approach may lead to a common improvement. This has persuaded numerous new research inquiries in human-robot collaboration. We have built up a framework prepared to do independent following and performing table-best protest object manipulation with…

Recent task scheduling algorithms for a generalized workflow job in heterogeneous system adopt list-based scheduling. In those algorithms, the response time cannot be effectively reduced if the given workflow job is data-intensive. If the workflow job is computationally intensive, an attempt is made to assign tasks to many processors, which can lead to resource starvation.…

Interconnection of the power system utilities and grids offers a formidable dispute in front of design engineers. With the interconnections, power system has emerged as a more intricate and nonlinear system. Recent years small signal stability problems have achieved much significance along with the conventional transient constancy problems. Transient stability of the power system can…

An empirical study that examines the usage of known vulnerable statements in software systems developed in C/C++ and used for IoT is presented. The study is conducted on 18 open source systems comprised of millions of lines of code and containing thousands of files. Static analysis methods are applied to each system to determine the…

In this work, a compact system for the automatic estimation of the tilt angle at any location of the world is presented. The system components are one computer, one GPS receiver and one Python program. The tilt angle is calculated through the maximization of the flux of direct radiation incident upon a flat solar collector.…

Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) are gaining ground and currently are almost part of our everyday life. A C-ITS environment can provide numerous services that soon will become essential to roads’ users. The latter resides in improvement of road safety, entertainment, and commercial services. However, in order to provide such services, the C-ITS environment needs…

The problem of multi-criteria or multi-objective intercropping crop planning makes it vital to consider all related factors under the constraints that will produce the highest revenue and minimum cost. Principles of intercropping elements including soil type, plant area, plant diseases, planting and harvesting time and economics factors (e.g. price, cost) are some of the factors…

In recent years, big data analysis is gaining immense credence in the fields of academics and business. Businesses such as management and marketing have demonstrated a strong inclination and interest in data analytics. However, many businesses are unable to utilize data even if they have access to it. The main reason for that is the…

Network security is often built on perimeter defense. Sophisticated attacks are able to penetrate the perimeter and access valuable resources in the network. A more complete defense strategy also contains mechanisms to detect and mitigate perimeter breaches. Deceptive systems are a promising technology to detect, deceive and counter infiltration. In this work we provide an…

Multiprocessor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoC) allow the implementation of heterogeneous architectures with a high integration capacity. In recent years, computational requirements MPSoC are increasing exponentially. This complexity, coupled with constantly evolving specifications, has forced designers to consider intrinsically flexible implementations. Deploying applications typical of multimedia domains is difficult, not only due to the heterogeneous parallelism in the…

A  comparative  study  between  adaptive  consensus  control  of multi-agent systems composed of fully actuated mobile robots which are described as a class of Euler-Lagrange systems on directed network graphs based on the notion of inverse optimal H∞ control criterion (Controller I), and the similar control strategy without H∞ control criterion (Controller II), is given in this paper.…

Vehicle analysis is a very useful component in various real world applications. In this paper, we have developed a Vehicle Make and Model Recognition (VMMR) system using Support Vector Machine (SVM). Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) and Speed-Up Robust Transform (SURF) are used to extract local features from an image. Bag-of-Features (BoF) model is used…

At present in Mexico, the renewable energy has become more important due to the great dependence of the country for fossil fuels. Within the several applications of renewable energy, there are the geothermal applications for the air conditioning of spaces. This technology employs heat pumps that interexchange heat with the ground. This technology is relatively…

Greenhouse cultivation is easy to keep up and control important factors such as light, temperature, and humidity. Using of sensors and actuators in the greenhouse to capture different values allows for the control of the equipment, it can also be optimized for growth at optimal temperature and humidity of various crops planted. We use wireless…

The discussed system in this paper uses the Kinect’s 3D input (acquired through IR projector and Camera) to detect gestures and then based on these gestures perform certain tasks, and display certain results on an output screen. The programming language used here is the Processing open source software and a database was implemented to manage…

These last years, the amount of data generated by information systems has exploded. It is not only the quantities of information that are now estimated in Exabyte, but also the variety of these data which is more and more structurally heterogeneous and the velocity of generation of these data which can be compared in many…

Network security implements various strategies for the identification and prevention of security breaches. Network intrusion detection is a critical component of network management for security, quality of service and other purposes.
