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…

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…

Engineering schools must adopt or develop their own systems and processes for graduate attribute assessment.

The occurrence of many failures in the power system can lead to power instability and affects the system parameters to go beyond its operating limits. It may lead to obstructing the secure operations and reliability of power systems. Ensuring power system security needs proper actions to be taken for the undesirable contingency. Thus, security analysis…

In this paper, we investigate the decentralized control problem for largescale interconnected systems.

Our main contribution is to develop a new decentralized stabilization approach which the decentralized local gains…

One of the prominent challenges of the automotive-transportation system is represented by the integration of security and safety properties within protocols, applications and connectivity mechanisms. A joint safety/security design can sometimes expose to trade-offs, since their requirements may not match perfectly or even be incompatible. This paper analyses an example of security and safety design,…

This paper deals with the design of adaptive observer for a class of nonlinear systems with time delays. Within this work, we develop an adaptive observer for a bilinear time delay system, then we extend those results in the presence of Lipschitz nonlinear functions in the system’s dynamics. In the stability analysis of the estimation…

To avoid biopsies, doctors use non invasive medical techniques such as the computed tomography. Even that, the detection of the liver remains a big challenge because of the gray level and shape variations which depend on patients and acquisition modalites. In this work, we propose to create a 3D liver model in the training phase…

Solving the Unit Commitment problem (UCP) optimizes the combination of production units operations and determines the appropriate operational scheduling of each production units to satisfy the expected consumption which varies from one day to one month. Besides, each production unit is conducted to constraints that render this problem complex, combinatorial and nonlinear. In this paper,…
