In the software engineering research, several works focus on advantages of multi-modeling, which facilitate modeling a system by separating of concerns. The Model Driven Engineering approach relies on model to design software artefacts during the software development lifecycle. Handling such models involves describing some model management operators like ‘ composition ‘. That is an operation…

One of the most prevalent physical limitations of both aging and accidents is immobility. Being bedridden requires great care to avoid the formation of pressure ulcers. Thus, the ‘ActiveRest’ project aimed to develop a textile mattress guard that will contribute to the prevention of pressure ulcers. This textile mattress guard integrates a monitoring system, based…

In this study, a theoretical simulation was performed using the Schrodinger-Poisson method to elucidate the formation factors for two-dimensional electron gas in InGaAs-based HEMTs. No visible change was observed in the carrier density and the potential shape. The inflection point of the energy level and the agreement of the energy level in each dimension were…

Object Instance Recognition aims to classify objects specifically and usually use a single reference image. It is possible to be used in many applications such as visual search, information retrieval and augmented reality. However, various things affect the appearance of the objects, which makes the recognition process harder, especially if a single reference image is…

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have begun rapidly adopting, selecting and implementing ERP systems due to the call by various governments to streamline their processes and practices. While ERPs are expanding at much faster rate, there is pressure on most HEIs to ensure quality. For quality model, ISO/IEC 25010 is an international standard for software and…

In this paper, the vulnerabilities and the security attacks against vehicular networks, SDN architecture and some security solutions for SDVN are studied. Secondly, a complete and improved version of the secure HSDN-GRA routing protocol based on a distributed trust model is proposed where public keys of the vehicles are managed in a distributed way. Besides,…

Flash memory reliability and the performance have been confirmed as an improvement in the storage subsystem technological advancement, especially in supporting an embedded system solution. Conversely, the main constraint of the storage device is the erase-before-write characteristic in handling both write and re-write I/O operations. More attention must be taken into consideration to handle both…

Fraud, as regards means of payment, means the behavior of any legal or natural one that makes an abnormal or irregular use of a way of payment, elements of it or information contained therein, to improperly obtain an honest, service or enrichment, and or causing financial damage to the one that has distributed the means…

Jeju Island is the largest island of South Korea and has an independent electric supply system. The island has a special energy plan that realizes itself a carbon-free region by 2030. Wind and solar energy resources are considered as an important means. The introduction of weather-variable renewable energy generation sources into the electric power system…

Vibrotactile feedback is increasingly becoming an essential feedback component in several non-medical and medical areas. One area that vibrotactile feedback has not been explored as an intervention tool is in sports science. In addition, vibrotactile feedback lacks scientific evidence as a feedback mechanism within the sports world. A portable vibrotactile feedback system was developed to…

To supply a stable and efficient electricity, small-scaled wind turbine’s brake system plays an immense role in various wind speeds. Small-wind power generation systems are difficult to operate in strong wind region since the turbine could be over-rotated and damaged if the brake system is not robust enough to maintain a stable angular velocity. Most…
