The Internet of Things (IoT) application has been experiencing increasingly progressive demand, especially for embedded devices (ED). However, the ED has limited capabilities, low power consumption resources, and low bandwidth in connecting to the Internet by using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Therefore, the WSNs form creates a necessity for new technologies and protocols for the…

The pressing and most urgent challenge for most of the Posts in Southern Africa is to transit from its historical reputation of being a snail-paced, inefficient, loss-making and ineffective service provider to an agile, innovative, solution-driven and highly competitive service provider that strive for excellence. In this context, adoption, and diffusion of technology and digital…

Forecasting the occurrence and development of thunderstorms near insured mobile objects, such as aircraft carriers, oil tankers, requires the usage of appropriate single-point monitoring systems (SPMS) of thunderstorm activity. These systems must be small and included in the equipment of the objects. A SPMS based on EH location finder meets the requirements of small dimensions.…

Previous research has found that first-years in college is challenging due to changes in academic demands and the adaptation process. In addition to this, research on career development has found that barriers and supports may influence career interest, motivation to continue and student retention. This study explores the influence of specific supports and barriers among…

Reconfigurable systems are considered as promising technology that enables the design of more flexible and dynamic applications. However, actually existent design flows are either low-level (so complex) or they lack support for automatic synthesis. In this paper, we present an ontology-based modeling approach for reconfigurable systems. Our approach is based on model-driven engineering process and…

One drawback of the Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem with the Analytic Network Process (ANP) is that the origin of the network cannot be clearly defined. In addition, it is not possible to specify internal relationship between criteria and sub-criteria. The application of Design Structure Matrix (DSM) with the Partitioning Reachability Matrix method resulted…

Chatbot is an application that is designed to help humans communicate with machines. NLP and API.AI are some of the components that are crucial in making chatbot as they help chatbot in performing chatting operations. Chatbot could be implemented in many aspects of life such as education, social media platforms, games, even in business. Business…

In recent decades, the challenge of managing the development teams spread across different time zones has become increasingly common, raising the importance of the development of Global Software Development (GSD) techniques, in order to tackle its particular problems. This work discuss these issues in the context of Sidia, an R&D institute which implements technological solutions…

The ability to think and the social abilities of junior high school students is a potential ability developed through learning based on the optimization of differences in learning abilities. For this reason, appropriate learning design and implementation model is needed in realizing this, especially in one of the social group subjects. This study uses research…

Preventive care approaches have attracted much attention in Japan, which is one of the world’s most super-aged societies. These approaches aim to decrease the number of people who require nursing care or other human support. Our research group has developed several kinds of preventive care systems, including a fall prevention system, a cognitive training system,…

This paper showcases our previous and continuously improving development at Ateneo Innovation Center (AIC) and partners in designing and further enhancing the existing Low-cost Phototherapy Light System (LPLS) and Improved Low-cost Phototherapy Light System (ILPLS) to the new Smart Low-cost Phototherapy Light System (Smart LPLS) with non-invasive jaundice monitoring for newborns with Neonatal Jaundice (NNJ).…

From amateur players who enjoy sports throughout their lives to top athletes who participate in international competitions, interest in improving sports skills is growing. Coaches and their coaching are indispensable for improving sports skills, but it is difficult for many athletes, especially amateur athletes, to secure coaching. However, we thought that anyone could easily receive…

This paper presents a research about the modelling of surface roughness in the grinding process. Based on the analyzed results about the surface roughness models from the previous studies, this study was performed to develop a surface roughness model in the grinding process. The surface roughness model is proposed with two hypotheses about the shape…

Estimation of displacement is an information required for daily operation monitoring systems to monitor human health or to locate users in buildings, basements, tunnels and similar places which under the same conditions that the global positioning signal (GPS) level is from very weak to completely absent; and is the measurement technique by using multimetric data…

The objective of this article is to highlight the relationship between the integration of sustainable development practices in Moroccan Small and Medium Enterprises (Smes) and the challenge sought by managers in order to ensure competitiveness and sustainability. Indeed, present-day Smes are operating in a world where economic, social, societal or environmental constraints are constantly evolving.…

The Music Composition Library of the great composers constitutes an intellectual heritage. This article introduces an algorithm of artificial Oriental composing music based on the descriptors determined on a large learning base to automatically write Oriental music as the logic identical to any composer. Musical words are called a grammatical alphabet. Each word derived is…

East Java province is a large province in Indonesia, in which Surabaya is the second largest metropolitan city after Jakarta. Various problems of development inequality in East Java have caused East Java to be defined as a disadvantaged area in 2015. The determination of disadvantaged regions is carried out every 5 years using 6 criteria…

Estimation Solar radiation is the most significant part of the optimization of solar power. This may be achieved if the solar radiation is predicted well in advance. Meteorological stations have radiation measuring devices like pyranometer, pyrheliometer, radiometer, solarimeter, etc. however, it may not be available at the location of interest for researchers. Due to this…

Smart cities are an indispensable development of the ongoing urbanization process world- wide. Currently, smart cities are being built and deployed by countries in the first steps. Based on research on the current state of developing smart cities in the world, the author forecasts the future development trends of such cities, pointing to one of…

This paper is a case study of the integration of an energy management system (EMS) in a commercial building. A detailed analysis of this EMS’s impact on energy consumption is presented. High energy demand is very common in commercial and industrial facilities. With this in mind, the present work aims to improve the energy consumption…

The new model of the short-term exchange rate dynamics was constructed. First of all, the most interesting were the reasons of the deviation from the medium-term equilibrium. The author’s IFEER-concept (International Flows Equilibrium Exchange Rate) was used as a base and it was developed. In this study, due to the short-term modeling period the differential…
