It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the Fifth International Conference on Information and Communication System (ICICS2014), which takes place in Irbid on April 1–3, 2014. This year conference is technically co-sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
Working near to the high temperature of transition of a superconducting thin film material leads to important reductions in the size of a microstrip patch antenna. A superconducting film over an isotropic substrate is taken and different values of resonant frequencies for different patch thicknesses are calculated and compared with the resonant frequency of a normal conducting patch antenna posed...
We target the problem of identifying the author of an Arabic text article. Our main aim is to develop an intelligent system that is capable of classifying a new article into one of seven classes that belong to seven different authors. For this purpose, we propose a novel dataset consisting of 12 features and 456 instances belonging to the 7 authors. In addition, we combine the proposed feature set...
In this paper, we consider FPGA architecture optimization to reduce power consumption. We study two FPGA routing architectures. The first architecture uses bidirectional Switch Box (SB) implemented using back-to-back tri-state drivers. The second one uses bidirectional SB implemented using tri-states and multiplexors. Experimentation shows that when we use bidirectional SB based on tri-states and...
The cable transmission of the information between computer devices or / and electronic devices is increasingly replaced by wireless transmission. Bluetooth modules are currently among the best performing wireless communication devices. They are characterized by their small size, excellent radio range and low power consumption.
Infrared based identification system is a promising alternative for radio frequency identification system in order to provide powerful solutions in many situations, i.e., to overcome radio frequency interference. In this work, an infrared-based identification system is modeled and designed. This model consists of a reader and a tag. The reader will perform particular functions in order to communicate...
This paper introduces a new meta-heuristic optimization technique, called “Hurricane-based Search algorithm (HuSA)”. The underlying concepts and ideas behind the proposed method are inspired from nature and based on the observation of hurricanes, the radial wind and pressure profiles. In HuSA, wind parcels move in a spiral course outward from a low-pressure zone called the eye of the hurricane. During...
Worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) is an IEEE802.16 standard that provides low cost, high-speed and long-range wireless communications, where the 802.16m is the latest version of WiMAX standard fully optimized for fixed and pedestrian speeds. Due to dynamic multipath fading and high Doppler shift, there is service degradation on quality of service (QoS) and data rate. In this...
Computer vision and object tracking are becoming increasingly more important with a wide variety of applications in our daily life. Most of the available tracking systems are not compact enough to be mounted on small ground or aerial robots. Also, most of these systems are relatively expensive. The tracking system presented in this work is a compact low cost system which makes it suitable for weight...
Sensory networks are scale-free environments that connect entities remotely but with noticeable tendency among its participating Sensors. The increasing size of data sets and the lack of algorithmic methods that are effectively manage such huge data collections led to growing demands of new techniques to handle big data's side-effects. In this research, a new ontology-based categorization methodology...
This paper presents a hardware implementation of the detection system of cardiac arrhythmias on FPGA. Thus we are interested in the software and hardware detection of the QRS complex. Our algorithm is based around a recursive digital filters (FIR) and non-recursive (IIR). The hardware implementation of our algorithm was done in HDL (hardware description language). For this our generated source has...
This paper addresses the treatment of cardiac signal with a processor specialized in speech processing. To do this, a system of collection and digitization of cardiac signal has been implemented and processing algorithms have been developed. Our work focuses on the extraction and processing of the cardiac signal in real time. the Texas Instruments TMS320C6713 DSP development board specializing in...
Autonomous airborne systems have generated a lot of interest in civilian and military applications. The operation of such systems involves routing and navigation toward targets and obstacle avoidance. In this paper, these problems were tackled and solutions were applied to land-based robots as well as a quad-rotor aerial system. The quad-rotor flight path navigation and routing was programmed based...
