In recent years, several projects which are supported by information and communications technologies (ICT) have been developed in the agricultural domain to promote more precise agricultural activities. These projects account for different kinds of key ICT terms such as internet of things (IoT), wireless sensors networks (WSN), cloud computing (CC). These projects are used for…

The knowledge and understanding of the technology of quantum computers and their superiority over classical computers are still insufficient or uncertain for many communities of researchers, manufacturers, investors and the general public. For this reason, we try in this article to present and explain some of the basic concepts of quantum computers. We explain how…

The efficient processing of database applications on computing systems with multi-tiered persistent storage devices needs specialized algorithms to create optimal persistent storage management plans. A correct allocation and deallocation of multi-tiered persistent storage may significantly improve the overall performance of data processing. This paper describes the new algorithms that create allocation and deallocation plans for…

The wide acceptance of the semantic web language RDF for ontologies creation in various application fields has led to the emergence of numerous RDF data processing solutions, the so-called triplestores, for the storage of RDF data and its querying using the RDF query language SPARQL. Such solutions are however developed under various perspectives and on…

With the current amount of data nowadays, the need for processing power has vastly grown. By relying on CPU processing power, current processing power is depending on the frequency and parallelism of the current CPU device. This means this method will lead to increased power consumption. Current research has shown that by utilize the power…

Cloud Computing is considered nowadays an attractive solution to serve the Big Data storage, processing, and analytics needs. Given the high complexity of Big Data workflows and their contingent requirements, a single cloud provider might not be able alone to satisfy these needs. A multitude of cloud providers that offer myriad of cloud services and…

In this work, we present CIRB-Edge, a novel integer compression method designed specifically to overcome the limitations of traditional techniques such as Huffman coding, Delta encoding, and dictionary-based algorithms. These legacy methods often fall short in meeting the stringent requirements of secure, energy-efficient, and real-time edge computing due to their high computational overhead, memory demands,…

The main purpose in this work is to explore the fact that chaos, as a biological characteristic in the brain, should be used in an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) system. In fact, as long as chaos is present in brain functionalities, its properties need empirical investigations to show their potential to enhance accuracies in artificial…

The article proposes an approach to evaluate human-computer interaction in the collective decision-making model. It is believed that all team members interact with each other through a distributed information system. The approach involves considering, when modelling, the personality characteristics of perception, each member of the team as a set of cognitive styles. Within the scope…

Smart animal husbandries require the adoption of dedicated tools to assess the contribution of each animal to the production process. The IoT platform presented in this article is a real-team monitoring system for voluntary weighing of cattle. To this end, the ISO 18000-6 standard is used for animal identification through an ultra-high-frequency radio link between…

At present, in the era of digitization the organizations need Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to have the ability adapt to changes with rapid response in order to increase the competitive advantage. The fact, many companies have failed to implement ERP which is proven to be not go live on time, so that the implementation…

Combinatorial optimization problems are often NP-hard and too complex to be solved within a reasonable time frame by exact methods. Heuristic methods which do not offer a convergence guarantee could obtain some satisfactory resolution for combinatorial optimization problems. However, it is not only very time consuming for Central Processing Units (CPU) but also very difficult…

This work presents new pipeline-parallel, generic and configurable parallel hardware architectures for the Direct/Inverse Wavelet Packet Transform (DWPT/IDWPT) independent of any specific family of wavelets, implemented in FPGA technology using a parallel architecture of direct FIR filter. We propose in the following paper, new P-parallel structures for the DWPT and IDWPT transforms based on the…

Cloud computing is a power platform to deal with big data. Among several software frameworks used for the construction of cloud computing systems, Apache Hadoop, which is an open-source software, becomes a popular one. Hadoop supports for distributed data storage and the process of large data sets on computer clusters based on a MapReduce parallel…

The automation surveying is one of the most influential changes to surveying concept and profession has had to go through, this has taken effect in two major courses, hardware (instrumentation used in data collection and presentation), and the software (the applications used in data processing and manipulation). Automation is majorly computer based and just like…

The growing integration of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) into healthcare has amplified the need for secure and privacy-preserving artificial intelligence. Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a pivotal paradigm for decentralized medical data processing; however, it still faces challenges concerning data confidentiality, trust management, and scalability. This review presents an extended theoretical comparison…

This study aims to examine the impact of Gen AI utilization on students’ visual literacy skills using a quantitative approach and data instruments in the form of post-test scores of the control class and experimental class which are analyzed to measure the effectiveness of GEN AI in improving students’ visual literacy skills at four universities.…

In vital energy applications especially the agricultural environments, the service of adaptive power utilization plays an essential role in facilitating the usage of Internet of Things systems. Such environments are distinguished by the large range of lands where most of the region lacks the commercial power lines. Reaching some high or deep sensing points is…

Brain tumor is the abnormal growth of cancerous cells in Brain. The development of automated methods for segmenting brain tumors remains one of the most difficult tasks in medical data processing. Accurate segmentation can improve diagnosis, such as evaluating tumor volume. However, manual segmentation in magnetic resonance data is a laborious task. The main problem…

This article discusses IoT security in situations whereby devices do not share the same security domains, which raises security, privacy and safety concerns. It then presents an Access Control and Privacy infrastructure for addressing these concerns in the context of distributed environments. IoT deployments allow billions of connected physical devices to collect, process and share…
