Crime statistics and research on criminology show that under similar circumstances,crimes are more likely to occur in developing countries than in developed countries due to their lack ofsecurity measures. Transport crimes on highways and bridges are one of the most common crimes in the developing nations. Automation of various systems like the toll collection system…

Speaking about the commutation’s equipment, it can be said that the best solution in increasing reliability and lowering the maintenance costs is a continuous monitoring of the equipment. However, if the price/quality ratio is considered, it is obvious that, for the moment, the diagnosis can be also an acceptable solution. Nowadays the predictive maintenance for…

The discovery of semantic information from complex signals is a task concerned with connecting humans’ perceptions and/or intentions with the signals content. In the case of audio signals, complex perceptions are appraised in a listener’s mind, that trigger affective responses that may be relevant for well-being and survival. In this paper we are interested in…

Pluggable controllers are a different way to design control constructors such as if, while, do, switch, and operators such as short circuit con-junction (&&) and the “?.” operator of the Swift programming language. Adoption of pluggable controllers enables the final user to modify and extend the control flow constructs (if, while, etc.) of an underlying…

Cognitive Radio (CR) encompasses a number of technologies which enable adaptive self-programing of systems at different levels to provide more effective use of the increasingly congested radio spectrum. CRs have potential to use spectrum allocated to TV services, which is not used by the primary user (TV), without causing disruptive interference to licensed users by…

The increased complexity of electronic systems in ADAS automotive brings new challenges for hardware design, especially with regard to improving the efficiency of the switched-mode power supply while maintaining the overall cost reasonably low and keeping the occupied area on the…

Electroencephalography (EEG) can globally monitor neural activity in millisecond scale, which is critical for identifying causality of human brain functions and mechanisms. However, to obtain accurate EEG stimulation-response relationship one usually needs to repeat multiple-ten times of stimulation-response recording to average out background signals of other irreverent brain activities, making real-time monitoring difficult to be…

The increased motivation (by service providers) to offer user-centric and seamless communication services – that satisfies users’ quality of experience (QoE), has manifested a myriad of challenges in the field of wireless communication; and given the increased traffic capacity and sudden explosion of cellular devices, communication systems are constantly threatened by performance related issues –…

Radiation hardened devices are mostly extremely expensive. The continuously downscaling of microelectronic structures and the unavoidable presence of particle radiation on ground and in space leads to unwanted failures in electronic devices. Furthermore it is expected that in the next few years around 8000 new satellites will be launched around the world. Due to the…

Technological tools such as Semantic Web and ontologies have contributed immensely to the reduction of most managerial complexities on daily basis. However, most resolved complexities are solely dependent on the emerging issues which are not general enough to accommodate some specific domain challenges. Temporal scheduling complexities occur in several domains including timetabling, but inter-departmental courses…
