Outcome Based Education (OBE) becomes trends among the universities as an approach improvement process of teaching and learning purposes. Continues Quality Improvement (CQI) is the element to implement the OBE system. The importance of CQI report of the courses is to make sure the outcomes are accessible and any unsatisfactory action can be overcome. However, the process of collecting data becoming...
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) security is the way to protect organization's network against Variety of threats which come through mobile devices and access channels. This research paper explains the implementation of BYOD security solution in higher education institution in Oman This security solution will help to protect the network data from unauthorized access, as well as, controlling unmanaged...
To investigate the complex dynamics and chaos control in airlines' price competition, the dynamic price competition model of airlines with duopoly is established by using the theory of bifurcation of dynamical systems, and the existence and stability of equilibrium points of this model are discussed. The complex dynamics of this model in different market parameters are shown though numerical simulation...
The existing path selection scheme in IEEE 802.11s for wireless mesh networks is Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol (HWMP). The main routing metric of HWMP is called airtime metric, which is dependent on packet error rate and transmission bitrate. HWMP does not take energy efficiency into consideration despite its importance for mobile nodes and other nodes which are battery driven. In our proposed energy-efficient...
This paper presents an active fault-tolerant control for linear system in case of actuator and sensor faults where these minor faults lead to degraded performance of the system. Three steps are proposed to achieve fault tolerant control based on simplified analytical redundancy. Firstly, a bank of linear observer is proposed to estimate the actuator and sensor faults by modeling a descriptor LTI system...
We present a new inpainting algorithm that is based on image segmentation and segment classification. First, we employ the mean shift algorithm to segment the input image. Then, we divide the original inpainting problem to be either one of the two problems: Large Segment Inpainting problem or Non-uniform Segments inpainting problem. The reason we do that is that human eye is more discerning to the...
This paper proposes two stability criteria for polynomial fuzzy systems by applying minimum-type and maximum-type piecewise polynomial Lyapunov functions (PPLFs) respectively. Piecewise Lyapunov functions and polynomial Lyapunov functions (PLFs) have been utilized to the stability analysis for fuzzy-model-based (FMB) control systems to obtain relaxed results in literature. However, the minimum-type...
This paper presents the feature detection method for aerial image. The image captured from the navigation was used to select the best landmarks for localization and mapping in SLAM. A robust visual detection method has contributed to better landmark and data association selection. Therefore, different feature detection algorithms were compared to evaluate the best landmark detector and descriptor...
Network on Chip (NoC) is a communication framework for interconnection of processing element (PE's). The excessive and parallel communication requirements of heterogeneous PE's in NoC have made the communication structure very complex. The size of the devices are scaled down to support the complexity but the size of interconnects remains the same. To support the complexity of NoC many fault tolerant...
This paper presents a simple acquisition setup to obtain a dynamic model of a real system from input-output experimental data. A data acquisition module with a sampling rate of 1.25MS/s is communicated to the personal computer via USB interface. Matlab Data Acquisition are used to acquire the input output data from the plant, and System Identification toolbox will then generate the plant transfer...
Electronic sensing technology intervention was intended to overcome human's physical limitation. It has developed and greatly advanced over the decade. This project emphasizes on characterizing herbs species based on unique of herbs odor. E-nose system in this project consist an array of commercial gas sensor which detects gas through an increase in electrical conductivity when reducing gases are...
Driver Assistance System (DAS) plays a vital and promising role in most intelligent vehicles technologies by alerting the motorists about any possible collision. In such systems robustness, reliability and real-time detection are critical. This paper focused on on-road detection of approaching motorcycles, where sensor is preferably attached on the rear side of vehicle. More attention is given to...
This study aims to allow the robot to move safely without colliding with obstacles to reach a specified position in an unknown environment. To achieve the aim of the study, a fuzzy controller was proposed and employed in intelligent mobile robot navigation strategies within unknown environments. This fuzzy controller has four inputs (one target angle and three obstacle distance), two outputs (left...
Analyzing cancers using microarray gene expression datasets is currently an active research in medical community. There are many tasks related to this research, e.g., clustering and classifcation, data compression, and samples characterization. In this paper, we discuss the task of cancer clustering. The spectral clustering is one of the most commonly used methods in cancer clustering. As the gene...
Latent semantic indexing (LSI) is an indexing method to improve performance of an information retrieval system by indexing terms that appear in related documents and weakening influences of terms that appear in unrelated documents. LSI usually is conducted by using the truncated singular value decomposition (SVD). The main difficulty in using this technique is its retrieval performance depends strongly...
