A web service impersonation is a class of attacks in which an attacker poses as or assumes the identity of a legitimate service to maliciously utilize that service’s privileges. Providing security for interacting cloud services requires more than user authentication with passwords or digital certificates and confidentiality in data transmission. In this paper, we focus…

Side-Channel Attack (SCA) is an effective method in extracting the secret key of cryptographic algorithms by correlating the physical leakage information with the processed data. In this paper, we propose an arithmetic hiding cum Look-up Table (AHLUT) based Substitution-Box (S-Box) in AES-128 cryptographic algorithm implementation to countermeasure against SCA. There are three key features in…

Radar ambiguity function is widely employed to analyze a radar system’s time delay (range) resolution, Doppler frequency (range rate) resolution, mainlobe width and sidelobes in both range and Doppler. In this paper, ambiguity functions of frequency diverse array (FDA) which offers range-angle dependent transmit beampattern and Phased array which yields angle transmit beampattern is investigated.…

Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) has drawn significant research interest in recent years. In this paper, we investigate the information theoretic secrecy of a SWIPT system under Weibull fading channel. To be specific, we analyze the information security in the presence of an energy harvesting and information decoding eavesdropper. All links are subjected…

L-band SiGe HBT active differential equalizers with variable,  positive or negative gain slopes have been designed and fabricated for frequency and temperature compensation of microwave and optical systems. The active equalizer employs dual-resonant RLC circuits in the series feedback path of the differential amplifier for positive gain slopes or in the load for negative gain…

In this article we’ll tackle the control of multi-motors electric drives with high dynamic, with rapid changes in torque and speed, with rigid or flexible coupling of motors, where the control strategy is FOC (Field Oriented Control) for each drives and the distributed control in local network using the CANopen protocol. In the surface mining…

We have been developing a method of evaluating the mental health condition of a person based on the sound of their voice. Currently, we have applied this technology to create a smartphone application that shows the vitality and the mental activity as mental health condition indices. Using voice to measure one’s mental health condition is…

This paper presents the development and design of a methodology based on fuzzy logic to control an indoor mobile robot for a complete navigation in an unknown environment. The methodology incorporates two basic behaviors, namely: reaching the goal and avoiding obstacles. The obstacle avoidance behavior is treated using wall-following scheme based on an Interval Type-2…

This paper describes a system to gather information from a stationary camera to identify moving objects. The proposed solution makes only use of motion vectors between adjacent frames, obtained from any algorithm. Starting from them, the system is able to retrieve clusters of moving objects in a scene acquired by an image sensor device. Since…

In classical cryptography, the Hill cipher is a polygraphic substitution cipher based on linear algebra. In this work, we proposed a new problem applicable to the public key cryptography, based on the Matrices, called “Matrix discrete logarithm problem”, it uses certain elements formed by matrices whose coefficients are elements in a finite field. We have…

In virtual environments, virtual hand interactions play a key role in interactivity and realism allowing to perform fine motions. Data glove is widely used in Virtual Reality (VR) and through simulating a human hands natural anatomy (Avatar’s hands) in its appearance and motion is possible to interact with the environment and virtual objects. Recently, hand…

Conformal Prediction is a recently developed framework for reliable confident predictions. In this work we discuss its possible application to big data coming from different, possibly heterogeneous data sources. On example of anomaly detection problem, we study the question of saving validity of Conformal Prediction in this case. We show that the straight forward averaging…

In this paper, we exploit an integration between Compressive sensing (CS) and the random mobility of sensors in distributed mobile sensor networks (MSNs). A small number of distributed mobile sensors are deployed randomly in a sensing area to observe a large number of positions. The distributed mobile sensors sparsely sample the sensing area for data…

The paper describes the fundamentals of magnetic levitation technology. A general background of the magnetic levitation is given in this article, including applications of this technology, several comparisons with other types of technologies, the real stage of its development, etc. Further in the paper, the two main types of magnetically levitated systems are compared within…

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among female diseases all over the world. Early diagnosis and treatment is particularly important in reducing the mortality rate. This research is focused on the prevention of breast cancer, therefore it is important to detect micro-calcifications (MCs) which are a sign of early stage breast cancer.…

An effective communication among the road users is crucial for safety precautions. Nowadays, a light emitting diode (LED) are commonly installed on a motor vehicle as the lighting system. The LED lights are more reliable and flexible in terms of the design and power adjustments. To further utilize the LED applications in a vehicular system,…

In the recent years, the fast development and the exponential utilization of social networks have prompted an expansion of social Computing. In social networks users are interconnected by edges or links, where Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn are most popular social networks websites. Due to the growing popularity of these sites they serve as a target for…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented and published in IEEE International Multidisciplinary Conference on Engineering Technology (IMCET). This work presents a design and implementation of a moving human tracking system with obstacle avoidance. The system scans the environment by using Kinect, a 3D sensor, and tracks the center of mass of a…

Modeling of direct expansion (DX) air conditioning and heat pump systems can be necessary in developing energy saving methods required to reduce energy consumption in buildings. The artificial neural networks (ANN) can be simple and reliable as compared to traditional methods. A properly trained artificial neural network can provide accurate results, while being relatively straightforward…

The importance of Modelling Methods Engineering is equally rising with the importance of domain specific languages (DSL) and individual modelling approaches. In order to capture the relevant semantic primitives for a particular domain, it is necessary to involve both, (a) domain experts, who identify relevant concepts as well as (b) method engineers who compose a…

In general, the imbalanced dataset is a problem often found in health applications. In medical data classification, we often face the imbalanced number of data samples where at least one of the classes constitutes only a very small minority of the data. In the same time, it represent a difficult problem in most of machine…

The unsupervised morphology processing in the emerging mutant languages has the advantage over the human/supervised processing of being more agiler. The main drawback is, however, their accuracy. This article describes an unsupervised morphemes identification approach based on an intuitive and formal definition of event dependence. The input is no more than a plain text of…
