This paper surveys on Cloud Based Automated Testing Software that is able to perform Black-box testing, White-box testing, as well as Unit and Integration Testing as a whole. In this paper, we discuss few of the available automated software testing frameworks on the cloud. These frameworks are found to be more efficient and cost effective…

Data centers’ mission critical nature, significant power consumption, and increasing reliance on them for digital information, have created an urgent need to monitor and adequately manage these facilities. Metrics are a key part of this effort as their indicators raise flags that lead to optimization of resource utilization. A thorough review of existing data center…

Currently the use of distributed energy resources, especially renewable generation, and demand response programs are widely discussed in scientific contexts, since they are a reality in nowadays electricity markets and distribution networks. In order to benefit from these concepts, an efficient energy management system is needed to prevent energy wasting and increase profits. In this…

This application developing for the project OCEMA comes as result of architecture building in Android, then the development of a professional modeling in Talend Open Studio for Big Data, which enabled the integration of data from many data sources.

In this paper we focus on the adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) techniques, makes use of the channel state information (CSI) to improve the spectral efficiency (SE) in wireless communication systems. To achieve higher data rates and lower bit error rate (BER’s) channel coding can be carried out in OFDM, called COFDM. The NLMS channel…

Smoking has been proven to negatively affect health in a multitude of ways. As of 2009, smoking has been considered the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in the United States, continuing to plague the country’s overall health. This study aims to investigate the viability and effectiveness of some machine learning algorithms for predicting…

Tenants associated with a cloud-hosted application seek to reduce running costs and minimize resource consumption by sharing components and resources. However, despite the benefits, sharing resources can affect tenant’s access and overall performance if one tenant abruptly experiences a significant workload, particularly if the application fails to accommodate this sudden increase in workload. In cases…

Patient generated data, or personal clinical data, is considered an important aspect in improving patient outcomes. However, personal clinical data is difficult to collect and manage due to its distributed nature. For example, they can be located in multiple places such as doctors’ offices, radiology centers, hospitals, or some clinics. Another factor that can make…

Safety-critical systems are well documented and standardized (e.g. IEC 61508, RTCA DO-178B) within system design cycles. However in Defence and Security, systems that are critical to the success of a Mission are not defined within the literature nor are there any guidelines in defining criticality in their design or operational capabilities. When it comes to…

Nowadays, text annotation plays an important role within real-time social media mining. Social media analysis provides actionable information to its users in times of natural disasters. This paper presents an approach to a real-time two layer text annotation system for social media stream to the domain of natural disasters. The proposed system annotates raw tweets…

The necessity of navigation in people and mobile robots (MR) through specific environments (indoors or outdoors) has become more and more relevant nowadays. For indoors, generally speaking, the positioning systems can be divided into 2D (two dimensions) or 3D (three dimensions) approaches, where Ultrasonic Local Positioning Systems (ULPS) are often a common solution for MRs…

On-ramping is being widely used as e method to increase the freeway operational efficiency. The main traffic parameter that must be taken in consideration for the implementation of the feedback control strategies for the on-ramp metering is density on the main section of road. In this paper is given discretized model of traffic which is…

Probabilities topic models are active research area in text mining, machine learning, information retrieval, etc. Most of the current statistical topic modeling methods, such as Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (pLSA) and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA). They are used to build models from unstructured text and produce a term-based representation to describe a topic by choosing…

In the present article, we develop multilayer perceptron model for identification of some possible genes mediating different leukemia. The procedure involves grouping of gene based correlation coefficient and finally select of some possible genes. The procedure has been successfully applied three human leukemia gene expression data sets. The superiority of the procedure has been demonstrated…

Cloud computing has become a compelling paradigm built on compute and storage virtualization technologies. The current virtualization solution in the Cloud widely relies on hypervisor-based technologies. Given the recent booming of the container ecosystem, the container-based virtualization starts receiving more attention for being a promising alternative. Although the container technologies are generally considered to be…

Mobile broadband has gained momentum with the growing demand of user data rates. Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology is the step in mobile communications evolution, developed to satisfy high data rate demand, and meet better spectral efficiency requirements. Effective radio resource management and inter cell interferences are the major challenges. Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) is…

This paper is devoted to the analysis of aircraft dynamics in the cruise flight phase under windshear conditions. The study is conducted with reference to a point-mass aircraft model restricted to move in a vertical plane. We formulate the problem as a differential game against the wind disturbances: The first player, autopilot, manages, via additional…

In this modern age, information technology (IT) plays a role in a number of different fields. And therefore, the role of security is very important to control and assist the flow of activities over the network. Intrusion detection (ID) is a kind of security management system for computers and networks. There are many approaches and…

In this work, a representative combinational circuit is visualized in various ways. It is abstracted (concretized) from transistor level to gate level and a structure-preserving transition is carried out into a signal flow graph. For creating a signal flow plan it is necessary to swap the nodes and the edges in the signal flow graph.…

Detect and tracking of moving weak targets is a complicated dynamic state estimation problem whose difficulty is increased in case of high clutter conditions or low signal to noise ratio (SNR). In this case, the track-before-detect filter (TBDF) that uses unthresholded measurements considers as an effective method for detecting and tracking a single target under…

Drug abuse problem is not a new problem, but it is still serious in Hong Kong. The emergence of hidden drug abuse youth has brought more difficulties to them and their parents. The usual ways of providing anti-drug abuse assistance are not sufficient to these types of young people. Intelligent methods have been developed to…

Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) is considered as a key cryptographic tool in building a secure cloud computing environment since it allows computing arbitrary functions directly on encrypted data. However, existing FHE implementations remain impractical due to very high time and resource costs. These costs are essentially due to the computationally intensive modular polynomial multiplication. In…
