Recently, efficient energy management systems have been in high demand to reduce overall energy consumption. In particular, energy consumption in the civilian sector is increasing considerably. Therefore, the effective use of energy in this sector should be emphasized. To do so, the introduction of a Home Energy Management System (HEMS) is effective because such systems allow households to control...
Recently, a lot of sensors are deployed to monitor the context in heterogeneous environments. A sensor is an engineering point of view as a device that collect the phenomenon signal. The sensor middleware is to enable clients to view context data on Internet. In this paper, we propose an integration architecture based on service provider using multiple sensor middleware in heterogeneous large-scale...
The paper deals with the problem of designing diagnostic systems for technical objects such as power plant, machining etc. The new approach for this problem that is based on the methodology that are used in the design of machines and some aspects of requirement engineering that derived from the software area is considered in the article. In general case the requirements may be used to formalized notation...
Biometrics represents a return to a natural way of identification: testing someone by what (s)he is, instead of relying on something (s)he owns or knows seems likely to be the way forward. Biometric systems that include multiple sources of information are known as multimodal. Such systems are generally regarded as an alternative to fight a variety of problems all unimodal systems stumble upon. One...
GPS-based applications make travelling easier, supplying information about routes, such as real-time traffic, Estimated Time of Arrival, faster or cheaper path. These applications exploit digital maps supplied by specific companies, often updated also thanks to user-submitted data. The aim of this work is to show an event driven system for territory mapping and monitoring, using multi-hop wireless...
To improve the spectrum utilization efficiency, a Radio Environment Database (RED) is considered to be used. The received power from primary user at each location is normally provided to the a cognitive radio system. In a conventional method, the transmit status of the primary user is assumed to be always ON for registering the sensed data to the database. In this paper, a temporary change of the...
Considering the fact that the current metrology management system is becoming a necessity, new software concepts are being developed in order to full fill the requirements of responsible technical persons for an alternative to existing ones. There's a necessity for an actual ERP model required by the world class competition, globalization, the modern business environment and nevertheless the availability...
Research about vehicle recognition and adaptive cruise control is emerging recently, using various sensory resources. There are many sensors like cameras, GPS, accelerometers, radars etc., which are used for detecting edges of the road, traffic signs, cars or pedestrians. There are many different sensors to access the objects' data information. This paper presents defining the width of the road and...
This paper proposes a prototype for real-time monitoring and alerting when weather or air pollution is above the international thresholds. This prototype keeps end user informed via a web application where user can check historic data and via a mobile application where user can check the alarm system. Each micro-station could be installed at any part of Mexican soil or it can be reconfigured without...
Location inference attack may cause location privacy leakage of secondary users SUs in database-driven cognitive radio networks. Malicious entities could infer SUs' location with channel usage information. For the unpredictable return of primary users, there is no solution that is effective to location inference attack. To prevent location inference attack, we propose an Agent-based Channel Selection(ACS)...
Computational Maritime Situational Awareness (MSA) supports the maritime industry, governments, and international organizations with machine learning and big data techniques for analyzing vessel traffic data available through the Automatic Identification System (AIS). A critical challenge of scaling computational MSA to big data regimes is integrating the core learning algorithms with big data storage...
Most electric power companies employs power meter reader to collect data on the customer's energy consumption. Usually, this task is carried out manually, which can lead to high cost and errors, causing financial losses. Some approaches trying to minimize these problems, such as: discover the minimal route or use a car to perform the readings. However, errors associated the manual readings can still...
In this paper, two anomaly correction methods are proposed which are based on Markov and Stide detection methods. Both methods consist of three steps: 1) Training, 2) Anomaly detection and 3) Anomaly Correction. In training step, the Morkov-based method constructs a transition matrix; Stidebased method makes a database by events with their frequency. In detection step, when the probability of transition...
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, like many other Gulf Council Countries, is lately experiencing a very rapid population and industrial growth, which results in an increasing demand for energy. To meet this growing demand, the GCC too is transitioning towards a smarter electricity grid with increased penetration of renewable sources. However, all agree that the success of such a shift in paradigm also...
The database-driven spectrum access system recentlyattracted increasing amounts of attention. It has more benefits compared to the traditional sensing-based systems. To build a more practical and reliable system, a hybrid sensing-based and database-driven spectrum access system is a promising solution. In this paper, we consider the integration problem of the database information and sensing results,...
Object re-identification techniques are essential to improve the identification performance in video surveillance tasks. The re-identification problem is equal to a multi-view problem that an unknown individual is identified across spatially disjoint data. For the re-identification techniques, several multi-view feature transformation methods have been proposed. These methods are formulated by the...
Learning is an important activity for learners. Every learner must learn, but how to learn with the most effective outcome is still in question. A lot of theories about learning styles, for example, Kolb's Learning Styles, VARK Learning Styles and Index of Learning Styles (ILS) were created. This paper has adapted ILS with e-Learning method because e-Learning is an efficient technology that particularly...
The Internet of Things (IoT) represents a diverse technology and usage with unprecedented business opportunities and risks. The Internet of Things is changing the dynamics of security industry & reshaping it. It allows data to be transferred seamlessly among physical devices to the Internet.
In this demonstration paper, we will present our adaptive user interface for replacing a vehicle's conventional dashboard. A programmable tablet computer with the Android operating system was utilized for displaying a vehicle's conventional instrumentation data and navigation guidance, as well as notifications from the vehicle's local safety sensors or external infrastructure. The developed user interface...
Indoor localization based on image matching faces the challenges of clustering large amounts of images to build a reference database, costly query when the database is large and indistinctive image features in buildings with unified decoration style. We propose a novel indoor localization algorithm using smartphones where WiFi, orientation and visual signals are fused together to improve the localization...
