Model driven development is an important role in software engineering. It consists of multiple transformation functions. This development is a paradigm for writing and implementing computer program quickly, effectively, at minimum cost and reducing development efforts because it transforms design model to object-oriented code. Our approach is rule-based model driven development in which textual Umple…

The uncertain nonlinear systems can be modeled with fuzzy differential equations (FDEs) and the solutions of these equations are applied to analyze many engineering problems. However, it is very difficult to obtain solutions of FDEs. In this paper, the solutions of FDEs are approximated by utilizing the fuzzy Sumudu transform (FST) method. Here, the uncertainties…

Ensuring the compliance of developed software with general and application-specific security requirements is a challenging task due to the lack of automatic and formal means to lead this verification. In this paper, we present our approach that aims at integrating the formal specification and verification of security guidelines in early stages of the development lifecycle…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented in WITS-2017 CONF. We extend our previous works by improving the Risk calculation formula, and risk assessment of an alert cluster instead of every single alert. Also, we presented the initial results of the implementation of our model based on risk assessment and alerts prioritization. The…

In this paper, the performance and reliability of oxide-based Resistive RAM (ReRAM) memory is investigated in a 28nm FDSOI technology versus interconnects resistivity combined with device variability. Indeed, common problems with ReRAM are related to high variability in operating conditions and low yield. At a cell level ReRAMs suffer from variability. At an array level,…

Hereby in this paper, we are going to refer image classification. The main issue in image classification is features extraction and image vector representation. We expose the Bag of Features method used to find image representation. Class prediction accuracy of varying classifiers algorithms is measured on Caltech 101 images. For feature extraction functions we evaluate…

In this paper, we discuss the solvability of the nonlinear parabolic systems associated to the nonlinear parabolic equation: \(\frac{\partial b_{i}(x,u_{i})}{\partial t} -div(a(x,t,u_{i},\nabla u_{i}))- \phi_{i}(x,t,u_{i})) +f_{i}(x,u_{1},u_{2})=0\) where the function  \(b_{i}(x,u_{i})\) verifies some regularity conditions, the term \(\Big(a(x,t,u_{i},\nabla u_{i})\Big)\) is a generalized Leray-Lions operator and \(\phi_{i}\) is a Caratheodory function assumed to be  Continuous on \(u_i\) and satisfy only a…

In this paper, we present a novel secure cryptosystem for direct encryption of color images, based on an iterative mixing spread over three rounds of the R, G and B color channels and three enhanced chaotic maps. Each round includes an affine transformation that uses three invertible matrices of order 2 _ 2; whose parameters…

The goal of this study was to use underwater robots instead of a diver’s observations to monitor and record the condition of an obstructed seabed in a shallow area. It is difficult to investigate marine resources that exist in deep water shaded by rock due to large and/or small rocks on the seabed. To solve…
