In this paper, we propose an adaptive discrete-time fuzzy sliding mode control for a class of chaotic systems. For this aim, a discrete sliding mode controller and a fuzzy system are combined to achieve an adequate control. The Laypunov stability theorem is used to testify the asymptotic stability of the whole system and the consequence…

This paper studied external-source-excited vibration response of double-bay multi-storey building frames for the effect of joint stiffening on bending moment and joint displacement. One of the frames has normal rigid joints. Three others of the frames have stiffened joints of stiffened lengths: 275mm, 425mm and 775mm respectively. Lumped mass system was the dynamic model adopted.…

In this article we’ll tackle the control of multi-motors electric drives with high dynamic, with rapid changes in torque and speed, with rigid or flexible coupling of motors, where the control strategy is FOC (Field Oriented Control) for each drives and the distributed control in local network using the CANopen protocol. In the surface mining…

A wormhole attack is one of the most critical and challenging security threats for wireless sensor networks because of its nature and ability to perform concealed malicious activities. This paper proposes an innovative wormhole detection scheme to detect wormhole attacks using computational intelligence and an artificial neural network (ANN). Most wormhole detection schemes reported in…

This paper studies the design of supervisory controllers with a minimum number of monitor places for Manufacturing System modeled as safe Petri Nets. The proposed approach considers a class of safety specifications known as Behavioral Constraints with a restricted syntax. The set of Behavioral Constraints are represented as predicate logic formulas in normal conjunctive form.…

In this paper, we investigate the performance of channel inversion schemes for interference cancellation with compensation network in multi-user MIMO broadcasting channel. To achieve good performance, mutual coupling between two-element compact arrays is characterized by the receiving mutual impedance method (RMIM) to formulate the compensation network-operating matrix. A prototype of two-element compensation network with an…

The article deals with the problem of increasing the accuracy of determination of aircraft’s navigation flight parameters. Increasing the accuracy and sensitivity of navigation parameters determination will improve the efficiency of air conveyance by optimizing the flight trajectories and reducing the flight time and simultaneously will ensure the sufficient level of air conveyance safety. The…

This paper presents a Release Management model to support requirements management. Requirements development and management can be integrated with a release-planning approach to achieve lesser Requirements spillover problems which is an innovative way to capture, control and evolve the user requirements based on integer linear programming.

In the aim to manage and retrieve the organizational knowledge, in the last years numerous proposals of models and tools for knowledge management and knowledge representation have arisen. However, most of them store knowledge in a non-structured or semi-structured way, hindering the semantic and automatic processing of this knowledge. In this paper we present a…

In this paper, we evaluate a list of classifiers in order to use them in the detection of vandalism by focusing on metadata features. Our work is focused on two low resource data sets (Simple English and Albanian) from Wikipedia. The aim of this research is to prove that this form of vandalism detection applied…

In many semi-arid countries in the world like Libya, drinking water supply is dependent on reservoirs water storage. Since the evaporation rate is very high in semi-arid countries, estimates and forecasts of reservoir evaporation rate can be useful in the management of major water source. Many researchers have been investigating the suitability of estimates evaporation…

The automation surveying is one of the most influential changes to surveying concept and profession has had to go through, this has taken effect in two major courses, hardware (instrumentation used in data collection and presentation), and the software (the applications used in data processing and manipulation). Automation is majorly computer based and just like…

At Microarchitectural level, multi-core processor, as a complex System on Chip, has sophisticated on-chip components including cores, shared caches, interconnects and system controllers such as memory and ethernet controllers. At technological level, architects should consider the device types forecast in the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS). Energy simulation enables architects to study two important…

Hasty software development can produce immediate implementations with source code unnecessarily complex and hardly readable. These small kinds of software decay generate a technical debt that could be big enough to seriously affect future maintenance activities. This work presents an analysis technique for identifying architectural technical debt related to non-uniformity of naming patterns; the technique…

A method to construct a stochastic differential equation describing a non-Gaussian process in a stationary state and to obtain a static potential function in terms of the temporal average is proposed. However, it has been suggested that the potential function changes temporally through some analysis of climatic change. In this paper, a mathematical model of…

Recently, with the rapid progress in image processing and three-dimensional (3D) technologies, stereoscopic images are available not only on television but also in theaters and gaming consoles. Asthenopia and visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) are well-known phenomena experienced by users while viewing video clips, playing immersive video games, and other such activities. In previous studies,…

The objective of this paper is to provide a new simulator framework for mobile WSN that emulate a sensor node at a laptop i.e. the laptop will model and replace a sensor node within a network.

To implement a new secure network with high mobility and low energy consumption, we use smart sensors. These sensors are powered by micro batteries generally non rechargeable. So, to extend their lifetime, it is necessary to implement new energy conservation techniques. Existing works separate the two features (security, energy conservation) and are interested specifically in…

The implemented programs in the MapReduce processing model are focused in the analysis of large volume of data in a distributed and parallel architecture.
