Cloud computing is revolutionizing many IT ecosystems through offering scalable computing resources that are easy to configure, use and inter-connect. However, this model has always been viewed with some suspicion as it raises a wide range of security and privacy issues that need to be negotiated. This research focuses on the construction of a trust layer in cloud computing to build a trust relationship...
This paper presents a keystroke dynamics system for mobile devices that employs a statistical distance-to-median anomaly detector. The selected feature set combines the keystroke timing features of hold and latency and the touch screen features of pressure and finger area. The proposed system consists of two modules: training and testing. The aim of the system is to be a research tool to serve two...
Steganography, the technology of protecting a secret message by embedding it inside a cover image, continues to be investigated and enhanced as an alternative data protection method. This paper deals with hiding multimedia files in true color RGB cover images with an emphasis on reducing the cover size, increasing hiding capacity and enhancing security of the hidden data. A proposed model (DuoHide)...
Within this paper we discuss and present a novel modern 3D Geographical Information System (GIS) framework Project-Vision-Support (PVS). The framework is capable of processing large amounts of geo-spatial datato procedurally extract, extrapolate, and infer properties to create realistic real-world 3D virtual urban environments. The paper focuses on the generation of a novel scene-graph structure used...
The recent advancements in cellular communication domain have resulted in the emergence of Machine-to-Machine applications, in support of the wide range and coverage provision, low costs, and high mobility. 5G network standards represent a promising technology to support the future of Machine-to-Machine data traffic. In recent years, Human-Type-Communication traffic has seen exponential growth over...
The path planning of an ASV in a lake for environmental monitoring has been modeled as a particular case of the travelling salesman problem, in which the ASV should visit a ring of beacons deployed at the shore of the lake for delivering the collected data. For achieving a complete representation of the lake, the distance travelled should be maximized instead of minimized as in the classic TSP. The...
The computational fluid dynamics using CFD codes is one the convenient tools to analyze the fluid flow and heat transfer and to minimize the testing cost and efforts. This paper focuses on a computational study of the cold film flow in annulus with heat transfer from liner wall of can combustor could be used in power gas station. The Computational results have been validated with the experimental...
On one hand, today's communities, such as smart regions, undergo continuous development and change. E-services, in particular those relating to ICT-operated infrastructures, form the backbone of those communities. They need to be highly responsive, and react in a context-sensitive and informed way to events occurring in the environment. On the other hand, ICT-based services increasingly propagate...
An adaptive grouping technique for a cooperative coevolutionary model is presented in this paper. The coevolutionary model is based on Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations and evolutionary programming to solve the balancing between exploration and exploitation in coevolution. The proposed model decomposes a large scale optimization problem into sub-problems of varying sizes. The coevoluationary model with...
Electronic Word-of-Mouth (eWOM) communities has popularized during the last years as communities where people share their online reviews about any type of product or services. Though the interactions with other users, people reach a reputation within the community that make their reviews more trustable. The aim of this paper is to investigate the main patterns of activity that characterizes reputed...
This paper presents a HEVC based multi-view video codec. The frames of the multi-view videos are interleaved to generate a monoscopic video sequence. The interleaving is conducted in a way to increase the exploitation of the temporal and inter-views correlations. The MV-HEVC standard codec is configured to work as a single layered codec, which functions as a monoscipic HEVC codec with AVC capabilities,...
Pairwise comparison is a popular method for decision making. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is based on pairwise comparison (PC), which the rating results of PC forms pairwise reciprocal matrices (PRM) further to be derived as the priority values by the Eigen method. Prioritization method using Eigen method is still open to discuss, although many applications using this method in AHP have been made...
Nowadays, sustainability and resilience have become a major consideration that cannot be neglected in urban development. People are starting to consider utilizing the urban infrastructure environment to maintain and improve the functionality and availability of the urban system when unexpected events take place. Traffic congestion is always a major issue in urban planning, especially when the vehicles...
The digital divide has significantly increased regardless of measures taken by government bodies to address the growing exclusion of certain groups within society which have limited access to Information Technology. The statement highlighted above clearly indicates that students who are from challenging areas are more inclined to move amongst other areas of society. If individuals are declined from...
Plagiarism detection is gaining increasing importance due to requirements for integrity in education. In this paper, we have developed a new integrated approach for extrinsic plagiarism detection. The proposed approach is based on four well-known models namely Bag of Words (BOW), Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), Stylometry and Support Vector Machines (SVM). The proposed approach works by capturing...
Simultaneous algebraic reconstruction Technique (SART) based iterative method play a significant role in the quality of images reconstructed by Computed Tomography (CT). The basic limitations associated with this method include slow convergence, poor visual quality and ill-posedness. To address these drawbacks, SART iterative method is modified in two steps. The first step removes the issue of slow...
This work presents a novel application of electromagnetic wave sensor in healthcare domain. Clotting of blood, also known as coagulation is a serious concern giving rise to cardiovascular disorders. Venous thromboembolism, clot formation of blood within veins, blocks sufficient amount of blood from reaching different parts of the body, like arms and legs. Similar phenomenon occurring in arteries,...
Practical experience is crucial in pharmacy education, but it can be difficult to provide pharmacy students with a sufficient level of experience during their education due to a number of challenges. Video games might provide a platform where students can gain positive learning experience in a virtual environment. Serious games have been used successfully across many industries, which suggest that...
