This paper faces the topic of blood products transport by applying simulation, control and data exchange technologies in order to implement a safe and efficient integrated transportation system. As known, the bio-chemical properties of blood and its derivatives are subjected to deterioration whenever a well determined temperature range is not respected for an excessive time…

The explosion in human population has left researchers scrambling for solutions on how to feed the world. Furthermore, rural-urban immigration has on the one hand left the farms in the rural areas devoid of farmers and on the other hand has left the urban areas over-populated. Hydroponics is a form of agriculture where crops are…

Currently Indonesia is working actively in the implementation of the Smart Cities initiative program. However, to be able to apply the concept, there are three main elements that must be prepared as the basic foundation. These elements are structure, infrastructure, and superstructure. In this study we focused on the problem of the high cost of…

eHealth is the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to enhance health quality access. Health care innovations are an essential element of Vision 2030 and National Transformation Program (NTP) 2020 operational plan that will lead to an improvement in the quality of health care in Saudi Arabia. The objective of this paper is to…

In recent years, researchers have focused on the development of many applications of information and communication which could lead to enhance human life. The congestion and road traffic are one of the most problems facing the ambulance transportation to provide fast healthcare services for patients. In this work, a tracking and data transfer system has…

The Citrix NetScaler CPX, is one of the many Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs), which is used mainly for load balancing between the application servers in a datacenter network. ADCs are typically placed in the demilitarized zone in an organization’s network, handling the connectivity of the external clients to the organization’s servers. While performing load balancing…

This paper addresses the generation of stylized texts in a multilingual setup. A long short-term memory (LSTM) language model with extended phonetic and semantic embeddings is shown to capture poetic style when trained end-to-end without any expert knowledge. Phonetics seems to have a comparable contribution to the overall model performance as the information on the…

Since environmental requirements penetrate engineering processes to keep global warming and to reduce pollutant emissions, the system operation should be designed based on environmentally approach friendly. Operationally, the system processes are supported by energy suppliers to meet continuously energy transaction while clean and green energies are also targeted to keep the environmental conditions. In other…

In recent years, deep learning has been widely used for time series prediction. Deep learning model that is most often used for time series prediction is LSTM. LSTM is widely used because of its excellence in remembering very long sequences. However, doing training on models that use LSTM requires a long time. Trying from one…

TransJakarta is one of the methods to reduce congestion in Jakarta. However, the number of TransJakarta users compared to number of private vehicle users is very small, only 24% of the total population in Jakarta. The purpose of this research is to know public opinions about TransJakarta whether positive or negative by doing sentiment analysis…

Plants are living organisms that can hear and recognize the environment around them but cannot communicate to inform their needs. Thus, in the past, humans thought that it was impossible to communicate with plants. However, in this modern era, humans can be able to communicate with these plants. In this paper, we propose a model…

Recently, there is an enormous research on the smart campus concept due to the revolution of the IoT technologies. The motivation of this paper is to: reinforce the safety on campus, reduce the cost, and take one step forward toward a University smart campus. In this paper, we are not only proposing a framework that…

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…

To reduce its high last mile logistics cost, a company may explore different options such as a horizontal collaboration with another company that has a similar logistics requirement. Traditionally, the collaboration can be conducted through an outsource contract mechanism where the company may need to guarantee a certain number of logistics demands or usage for…

The increase of elderly population creates the need to promote healthy aging, with autonomy and independence, for preserving the functional capacity and quality of life as much as possible. To achieve this goal the recommendations include walking a certain amount of steps daily, given that the exact amount of steps changes with age, lesions, and…

There is no doubt that a good knowledge of traffic demand has a direct impact on improving traffic management. Road traffic is strongly correlated with many factors such as day of week, time of day, season and holidays which make it suitable for prediction. In this paper, we develop a neural network model for hourly…

The major problem in electric utility is Electrical Theft, which is harmful to electric power suppliers and causes economic loss. Detecting and controlling electrical theft is a challenging task that involves several aspects like economic, social, regional, managerial, political, infrastructural, literacy rate, etc. Numerous methods were proposed formerly for detecting electricity theft. However, the previous…

The IEEE 802.11n wireless local-area network (WLAN) has been extensively deployed around the world due to the flexibility, lower cost, and the high-speed data transmission capability at 2.4 GHz ISM band. However, in the WLAN deployment, one key challenge is to optimize the channel assignment of access-points (APs) under the small number of partially overlapping…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented in 2018 Global Smart Industry Conference (GloSIC). Researches are devoted to the development of Smart technology for complex objects control and prediction on the basis of a distributed Honeywell DCS control system of the TengizChevroil enterprise using the example of a technological process of medium pressure…

This longitudinal empirical research is focused on the study of the impact on the management of cardio-vascular disease if supported by sustained health monitoring using wearable connected devices. One…

Nowadays over speeding is one of the most common traffic violations. Generally, over speeding is the result of restless and bad behavior of drivers. As the accident rates are increasing it is important to develop and implement a system which can automatically detect and report over speeding to the traffic control authorities as early as…

In advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) of smart grid, WiFi is an appropriate choice for its bidirectional communication requirement to transmit data to the billing center. But, WiFi functions in the free spectrum bands and LTE also requires to use the same free bands for its network expansion being licensed spectrum is limited and expansive. LTE…

We present a privacy-preserving approach for discovering nearby places of interest to Alice. In this approach, the proposed protocol allows Alice to learn whether there is any place that she is looking for near her. However, the location-based service (LBS) that tries to help Alice to find nearby places does not learn Alice’s location. Alice…

Many existing system modeling techniques based on statistical modeling, data mining and machine learning have a shortcoming of building variable relations for the full ranges of variable values using one model, although certain variable relations may hold for only some but not all variable values. This shortcoming is overcome by the Partial-Value Association Discovery (PVAD)…
