All forms of skin cancer are becoming widespread. These forms of cancer, and melanoma in particular, are insidious and aggressive and if not treated promptly can be lethal to humans. Effective treatment of skin lesions depends strongly on the timeliness of the diagnosis: for this reason, artificial vision systems are required to play a crucial…

Spatial and temporal isolation is a crucial issue in embedded systems executing multiple tasks with several levels of criticality. This is considerably significant in the context of multi-processor (or multi-core) embedded systems running multiple mixed-criticality applications in parallel. This work deals with the issue of isolation of different application classes on Network on Chip (NoC)…

The integrating model becomes one of key trends in engineering design. The more the product has functional specifications, the more the industrial consumer apply in many fields. In this paper, a fusion design of architecture platform for autonomous system is demonstrated. It is greater due to combining the specifications of various types in commercial market…

An artificial neural network (ANN) computing system can be significantly influenced by its implementation type. The software implemented ANN can produce high accuracy output with slow computation time performance compared to hardware implemented ANN which runs at a faster computation time but with low accuracy. Normally, software implementation reduces the proficiency and efficiency of the…

Nowadays, the realization and follow-up of a team activity takes place in different execution environments (e.g. mobile phone, PC) through the use of computer applications. This implies context changes that generate interruptions in the activity. To improve the continuity of an activity with the reduction of interruptions during the development of this activity, would help…

The entire electrical system is changing at an abrupt speed since its beginning. With the rapid advance of renewable energies (which are constantly subject to fluctuations), the electricity generation is distributed to countless locations. The traditional model of the unidirectional flow of electricity is leaning towards multidirectional flows. This situation needs significant changes in the…

Neurological signals are generally very weak in amplitude and strongly noisy. As a result, one of the major challenges in neuroscience is to be able to eliminate noise and thus exploit the maximum amount of information contained in neurological signals (EEG…). In this paper, we aimed at studying the N400 wave of the Event-Related Potentials…

Recently, communication demands often change because of the various network services in companies and individuals. Software Defined Networking (SDN) has emerged as a viable control paradigm that allows flexible communication, using OpenFlow as its default standard and enabler. However, when changes happen frequently in SDN networks due to unforeseen reasons -such as a network failure…

Recently, augmented reality (AR) technology has been applied to the inter- action technology between human and virtual objects. In AR interaction technology, it is necessary for users to be able to manipulate virtual objects intuitively. Thus, we focus on manipulating virtual objects directly with the user’s bare hands in this study. On the other hand,…

This study involved three departments of teachers and students. The concept of the flow-motivated exercise implemented with a set of flow nozzles. A computer-controlled airflow with specific music introduced, and the motion responses from the participants were analyzed during the initial test and field study. During the initial examination, we adjusted the magnitude and distance…

To be able to perform a better voting system, it is important to go to ICT and its various platforms designed for electoral purposes, which are being used in several countries in Latin America. In Ecuador are being used digital mechanisms during the process, but with certain errors and he is being considered to implement…

With the advancement in the field of Internet-of-Things (IoT), event monitoring applications have rapidly evolved from a simple event data acquisition towards predictive event analytics involving multi-sensory data aggregation in a distributed environment. Existing event monitoring schemes are mainly relying on ine_cient centralized processing mechanism, which may lead to the common single-point of failure for…

In this paper, we propose a new Perceptually Optimized Embedded Zero Tree Image Coder EVIC and its improved version MEVIC. The coder presents a new perceptual model to weight wavelet coefficients to enhance SPIHT embedded coding. The new visual coder aims to improve the visual quality obtained by the reference SPIHT coder for a given…

Braille system is purposely made for visually impaired people, to support their literal communication in order to share their knowledge. Louis Braille introduced the braille system consists of series dots which are embossed to read by touching. Early days Braille papers are made manually, but at current days braille documents are made using machines. Due…

Information Systems are a combination of information technology and activities of people who use these technologies to support operations, management, data, and technology. Based on Indonesian Minister of Home Affairs Decree No. 17 of 2000, the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of West Sulawesi implements the Employee Management Information System…

Knowledge Based Systems play a very important role, within Healthcare, with a primary goal of supporting a high quality service at an optimal cost. A widely accepted knowledge acquisition technique is through the use of Business Rules in a natural language like format. As clinical terminology is centric to HealthCare, a large percentage of these…

We have suggested an architecture of the second-order all-pass active RC-filter (ARCF), based on three differential difference amplifiers (DDA’s), which provides full set of amplitude-frequency responses (AFR’s) (low pass filter (LPF), high pass filter (HPF), band pass filter (BPF), rejection filter (RF)). We have given the basic equations, which allow ARCF’s. The results of computer…

This paper analyzes the process of reactive power compensation using thyristors switched capacitors TSC topology based on multiterminal switch during the starting of induction motor. The paper explains the control principle of this TSC topology which depends on the multiterminal switch. To actively track the required reactive power for the dynamic load and to perfectly…

Students are usually unaware of their own skills. They choose to follow the trend, rather than the proper pathway. Which negatively a_ects the professional sector, and the development of the country. Orienting students, and guiding them would o_er considerable benefits. Building the appropriate student’s profiles is the golden key for an accurate orientation. To do…

The paper deals with hardware emulation of bio-inspired devices and nonlinear dynamic processes of complex nature by means of mixed-mode analog-digital emulators. The discretized state model of the emulated system serves for real-time calculation of dependent quantities. In contrast to input-output emulation known in control systems, the proposed approach emulates the ports of an electrical…

The main problem of the distribution of freight in archipelago countries such as Indonesia is how to ensure that the outlying and outermost islands are served optimally, with low freight costs and optimal frequency of vessel stops at ports. There are three types of vessels that are subsidized and have the duty of public service…
