Complex networked systems provide a cornucopia of network statistics, many of which relate to the temporal behaviour of subsystems, devices, or even individual protocol layers. Different and flexible visualizations can play a crucial role in discovering and making patterns, relations, and trends tangible. We developed PerfVis, a tool that visualizes timestamp data to aid in…

Zero Trust Architecture offers a transformative approach to network security by emphasizing ”never trust, always verify.” IoT devices, while increasingly integral to modern ecosystems, pose unique challenges for identity management and access control due to their constrained processing power, memory, and energy capabilities. In a Zero Trust framework, every IoT device is treated as a…

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,…

This research is an extension of the research (ISEEIE 2023), which dealt with Time-Series Clustering (TSC) of Vegetation Index (VI) for paddy rice. The novelty of this research is “Visualization of growth changes before and after additional fertilization,” “Analyzing the appropriate amount of additional fertilizer,” and “Optimization of monitoring period to minimize the number of…

Cloud computing has emerged as a pivotal component of contemporary IT systems, affording organizations the agility and scalability required to meet the ever-changing demands of business. However, this technological evolution has introduced a new era of cybersecurity challenges, as attackers employ increasingly sophisticated strategies to breach cloud networks. Such breaches can have far-reaching consequences, including…

The advent of laparoscopic surgery has increased the need to incorporate simulator-based training into traditional training programs to improve resident training and feedback. However, current training methods rely on expert surgeons to evaluate the dexterity of trainees, a time-consuming and subjective process. Through this research, we aim to extend the use of object detection in…

The attributes of the vehicle routing problem (VRP) are as many additional characteristics or constraints which aim to better take into account the specificities of real application cs. The variants of the VRP thus formed are the support of an extremely rich literature, comprising an immense variety of heuristics. This article constitutes an industrial application…

Aging is considered to be a complex process in almost every species’ life, which can be studied at a variety of levels of abstraction as well as in different organs. Not surprisingly, biometric characteristics from facial images play a significant role in predicting human’s age. Specifically, automatic age estimation in real-time situation has begun to…

Given the strict Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Service (QoS) criteria for video transmission, such as delivery ratio, transmission delay, and mean opinion Score (MOS), video streaming is one of the hardest challenges in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs). Additionally, VANET attributes, including environmental impediments, fluctuating vehicle density, and highly dynamic topology, have an…

Traffic road management is becoming more complex due to limited resources and an increasing number of hybrid vehicles. Currently, a number of global classical computing tools are used to manage the traffic road network. This kind of classical computing is resource intensive and expensive, and in the best case, optimizing a traffic network takes a…

Information security behaviour is an integral part of modern business and has become a central theme in many research studies. One of the essential tools available that can be used to influence information security behaviour is information security policies (ISPs). These types of policies, which is mandatory in most organisations, are formalised rules and regulations…

DNN implementation and deployment is quite a challenge within a resource constrained environment on real-time embedded platforms. To attain the goal of DNN tailor made architecture deployment on a real-time embedded platform with limited hardware resources (low computational and memory resources) in comparison to a CPU or GPU based system, High Performance SqueezeNext (HPS) architecture…

Social networks have become a valuable platform for tracking and analyzing Internet users’ feelings. This analysis provides crucial information for decision-making in various areas, such as politics and marketing. In addition to this challenge and our interest in the field of big data and sentiment analysis in social networks, we have dedicated this work to…

Blockchain technology is seeing a trend of popularity and adoption in many different application areas. One such area is healthcare, as there is a need to develop a system that can reliably store and share electronic health records (EHRs) among hospital-based health facilities. In this paper, we present a cloud-based hierarchical consortium blockchain framework for…

Various applications have helped make vehicular Ad-hoc network communication a reality. Real-time applications, for example, need broadcasting in high video quality with minimal latency. The new High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) has shown great promise for real-time video transmission through Vehicle Ad-hoc Networks due to its high compression level. These networks, on the other hand, have…

Concomitant with the ubiquity of lightweight electronic terminals, such as smartphones and tablets, e-books have increased in popularity. However, studies have shown that their display method and information-presentation efficiency need improvement. We investigated visual information processing during reading to develop a more efficient display method that presents information in an easier to see fashion than…

The SENSORIA Reference Modeling Language (SRML) aims at modelling composite services at a high level. Continuous time SRML extends SRML so that it can model services whose components can perform both discrete processes and continuous processes. In order to show how continuous time SRML is applied, in this paper, we systematically introduce our study on…

In the last decade, South Africa has attracted and attained more investment by means of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REI4P), which is, a structured invitation to Independent Power Producers (IPPs) to submit a bid to generate and supply power to the electrical grid. In spite of REI4P’s undeniable triumph, a much-discussed…

In the automation of the fish processing industry, the measurement surface-area and volume of the fish requires a method that focuses on processing automation. The creation of a stereo-vision based on real-time measurement method is one of the most essential aspects of this work. To do this task, we completed two steps. The first, the…

The Conv-TasNet and Demucs algorithms, can differentiate between two mixed signals, such as music and speech, the mixing operation proceed without any support information. The network of convolutional time-domain audio separations is used in Conv-TasNet algorithm, while there is a new waveform-to-waveform model in Demucs algorithm. The Demucs algorithm utilizes a procedure like the audio…

In devices using Windows operating system based on x86 system, the real-time performance is not guaranteed by Windows. It is because Windows is not a real-time operating system. Users who develop applications in such a Windows environment generally use commercial solutions such as the RTX or the INtime to provide real-time performance to the system.…

To effectively implement the social distancing or digital contact tracing in epidemic using an RSSI-based localization approach through Bluetooth beacon is one of the most widely used technologies, but simply using RSSI measurement is not more relevant because the RF signal is affected by several factors and the environment of usage. Traditional distance or positioning…

We propose a novel framework exploiting domain-aware aspect similarity for solving the multi- source cross-domain sentiment classification problem under the constraint of little labeled data. Existing works mainly focus on identifying the common sentiment features from all domains with weighting based on the coarse-grained domain similarity. We argue that it might not provide an accurate…
