Even though mobile technologies are increasingly used to enable communications between providers and receivers of healthcare services, there remain severity challenges owing to the use of various indigenous languages in many Africa countries. Some of the challenges get worst in a countries like South Africa where there are eleven official languages. As a result, interpreters…

Intrusion detection systems are well known for their ability to detect internal and external intrusions, it usually recognizes intrusions through learning the normal behaviour of users or the normal traffic of activities in the network. So, if any suspicious activity or behaviour is detected, it informs the users of the network. Nonetheless, intrusion detection system…

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 the last few years of research and innovations, lots of spatial data in the form of points, lines, polygons and circles have been made available. Traditional indexing methods are not perfect to store spatial data. To search for nearest neighbour is one of the challenges in different fields like spatiotemporal data mining, computer vision,…

The purpose of this research paper is to demonstrate that optimization of energy consumption, distributed generation and storage contribute towards mutually beneficial and satisfactory Demand Side Management algorithms that can be installed into consumer smart meters or in Home Energy Storage. A new solution based on an Energy Scheduling and Distributed Storage (ESDS) and Microgrid…

In this paper, the problems of actuator and sensor fault estimation (FE) and fault-tolerant control (FTC) for uncertain nonlinear systems represented by Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models are investigated. First, a robust fuzzy adaptive sliding mode observer (SMO) is designed to simultaneously estimate system states and both actuator and sensor faults. Then, using the obtained on-line…

SIARAN is application which is created by Government of South Tangerang City, Indonesia. The application is e-government services social media based. It is designed for citizens to be able to report problems that occur around South Tangerang City. The research was conducted to find out the factors that affect the intention of SIARAN’s users. The…

With a model predictive control approach including boundary analysis and uncertain prediction of activities of different road participants, this paper proposes solutions that support motion control by steering control and appropriate acceleration to create safe motion trajectories for an autonomous vehicle. The motion control support element is determined by the principle of minimal intervention and…

To have enough information on time can be helpful when companies try to reduce costs and operate more efficiently.
