Reliable, available and accurate localization of people and vehicles is one crucial requirement for intelligent transportation systems (ITSs). This has led to a variety of technical approaches in recent years. Towards an exact positioning via Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) the visibility of satellites is an important factor. In this paper, we review the literature…

In this study, a new method is devised and presented for the dynamic analysis of a 2xn RLC circuit network modeled with the fractional-order circuit elements. The analysis method is based on the principles of dynamic analysis with transfer function approximation. Firstly, the fractional-order 2xn RLC circuit network of interest which is divided into n…

This paper is an extended version of the conference paper presented at IST Africa Week Conference 2016 and it discusses in detail the existing technology gaps using DHIS2 (District Health Information System 2.0) as an example, and how Geographic Information System (GIS) and mobile application, as specific examples of technology, can enhance health management information…

In learning environment, portfolio is used as a tool to keep track of learner’s progress. Particularly, when it comes to e-learning, continuous assessment allows greater customization and efficiency in learning process and prevents students lost interest in their study. Also, each student has his own characteristics and learning skills that must be taken into account…

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…

Visual analysis of human behavior is a broad field within computer vision.  In this field of work, we are interested in dynamic methods in the analysis of crowd behavior which consist in detecting the abnormal entities in a group in a dense scene. These scenes are characterized by the presence of a great number of…

Geo-fencing (geofencing) is a great feature in a software program that uses Global Positioning System (GPS) or radio frequency identification (RFID) to define the geographical boundaries feature. Actually geofence is a virtual barrier. Geofencing is an innovative technology, an online marketplace for proactive contextual services that allows users to easily find interesting services, can easily…
