Agent based model (ABM) is a computational model for simulation, behavioral representation and interaction of autonomous agents. The main problem definition related to how to make a dynamic model of dengue fever with consideration of their behavioral and interaction agent. This paper aims to develop interactive behavioral agents and related simulation models for such dynamic spreading dengue fever epidemic. This model construction consists of two agents, namely a human agent as a host and mosquito as a vector, where temperature and humidity are the environmental parameters. These environmental parameters deployed data and information from National Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics agency and supported by recent community health data of Bogor region. The verification stage evaluated model performance of two periods between January to June and between July to December 2015 showed the fitness of the model. During simulation stage where 100 humans agent and 10 mosquitoes agent were observed, indicating the decreasing of mosquito by 26.3% and the number of infected human decrease to 16% from the period of January until June to July until December 2015 respectively. These evaluation results showed that the agent based model results succeeded to follow a similar trend of decreasing pattern as actual data.

Hari Mohan Pandey
The term “appropriate parameters” signifies the correct choice of values has considerable effect on the performance that directs the search process towards the global optima. The performance typically is measured considering both quality of the results obtained and time requires in finding them. A genetic algorithm is a search and optimization technique, whose performance largely depends on various factors – if not tuned appropriately, difficult to get global optima. This paper describes the applicability of orthogonal array and Taguchi approach in tuning the genetic algorithm parameters. The domain of inquiry is grammatical inference has a wide range of applications. The optimal conditions were obtained corresponding to performance and the quality of results with reduced cost and variability. The primary objective of conducting this study is to identify the appropriate parameter setting by which overall performance and quality of results can be enhanced. In addition, a systematic discussion presented will be helpful for researchers in conducting parameters quantification for other algorithms.

Grouping web transactions into some clusters are essential to gain a better understanding the behavior of the users, which e-commerce companies widely use this grouping process. Therefore, clustering web transaction is important even though it is challenging data mining issue. The problems arise because there is uncertainty when forming clusters. Clustering web user transaction has used the rough set theory for managing uncertainty in the clustering process. However, it suffers from high computational complexity and low cluster purity. In this study, we propose a soft set-based co-occurrence for clustering web user transactions. Unlike rough set approach that uses similarity approach, the novelty of this approach uses a co-occurrence approach of soft set theory. We compare the proposed approach and rough set approaches regarding computational complexity and cluster purity. The result demonstrates better performance and is more effective so that lower computational complexity is achieved with the improvement more than 100% and cluster purity is higher as compared to two previous rough set-based approaches.

This paper is under in-depth investigation due to suspicion of possible plagiarism on a high similarity indexThe traditional microphone speech acquisition method has several limitations, such as short acquisition distance, non-directivity, weak ability to compensate for anti-acoustic noise, and poor sensitivity. As an alternative, our lab developed a new type of speech detection system using bio-radar. This novel speech detection method may effectively compensate for the shortcomings of the traditional microphone because of the special features of bio-radar. However, the detected radar speech is also corrupted by specific electromagnetic and ambient noises. Therefore, this study proposes a minimum mean-square error (MMSE) short-time spectral amplitude estimate algorithm to enhance radar captured speech. Because the proposed approach employs an optimal spectral amplitude estimator as well as a method to minimize the mean-square error of the log-spectra in enhancing noisy speech, this algorithm significantly reduces the colored residual noise. The enhanced radar speech was evaluated by both subjective and objective quality evaluation methods. The results demonstrate that the bio-radar can successfully detect speech signal and the proposed speech enhancement algorithm can improve radar captured speech quality.

Ahmed; German research Foundation (DFG) Boutejdar , Mohamed; Université Sidi Mohamed ben Abdellah Amzi , Saad Dosse; Université Sidi Mohamed ben Abdellah Bennani
This paper is under in-depth investigation due to suspicion of possible plagiarism on a high similarity indexIn this article, A compact size band pass filter based on octagonal resonators is presented to give sharp response at desired frequency bands along with very low insertion loss. The proposed filter structure is composed of octagonal microstrip resonators, backed by Quasi-Yagi slots ‘Quasi-Yagi Defected Ground Structure’ (Quasi-Yagi-DGS). By controlling the electrical coupling between the octagonal–strip and the Quasi-Yagi-DGS, the bandpass filter’s stopband is optimized for better rejection. The proposed BPF has low insertion loss and compact size because of the slow-wave effect. Meanwhile, sharp rejection bands induced by the presence of two transmission zeros. The simulated center frequency and passband insertion loss are 2.4 GHz and 0.6 dB, respectively.

In network-on-chip (NoC) based multi-processor system-on-chip (MPSoC) development, application profiling is one of the most crucial step during design time to search and explore optimal mapping. Conventional mapping exploration methodologies analyse application-specific graphs by estimating its runtime behaviour using analytical or simulation models. However, the former does not replicate the actual application run-time performance while the latter requires significant amount of time for exploration. To mapapplications on a specific MPSoC platform, the application behaviour on cycle-accurate emulated platform should be considered for obtaining better mapping quality. This paper proposes an application mapping methodology that utilizes a MPSoC prototyped in Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Applications are implemented on homogeneous MPSoC cores and their costs are analysed and profiled on the platform in term of execution time, intra-core communication and inter-core communication delays. These metricsare utilized in analytical evaluation of the application mapping. The proposed analytical-based mapping is demonstrated against the exhaustive brute force method. Results show that the proposed method is able to produce quality mappings compared to the ground truth solutions but in shorter evaluation time.

Rachid; Badji Mokhtar University Belaidi , Ali; Badji Mokhtar University Haddouche , Djamila; UDES, EPST/ CDER Ghribi , M.; UDES, EPST/ CDER Mghezzi Larafi
This paper proposes a combined system of three-phase four-wire shunt active power filter (SAPF), and photovoltaic generator (PVG), to solve the power quality problems such as harmonic currents, poor power factor, and unbalanced load. In addition, the proposed system can inject the issued energy from the PVG into the utility grid. To increase the efficiency of the PVG and extract the maximum photovoltaic (PV) power under variable atmospheric conditions, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique based on perturb and observe (P&O) is implemented in the DC/DC boost converter. The effectiveness of the proposed PVG-SAPF (PVG and SAPF) based on the use of synchronous reference frame theory (SRF theory) under unbalanced nonlinear load. The proposed PVG-SAPF is validated through numerical simulations using Matlab/Simulink software. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed PVG-SAPF.

10.11591/ijeecs.v7.i3.pp676-686
Nunsavath Susheela , P. Satish Kumar
The multilevel inverters are very popular in high power high voltage applications. However the multilevel inverters has some demerits such as requiring higher number of components, PWM control method is complex and capacitor voltage balancing problem. The hybrid multilevel inverter presented in this paper has superior characteristics over conventional multilevel inverters. The hybrid multilevel inverter employs fewer components and less carrier signals when compared to conventional multilevel inverters. It consists of level generation and polarity generation stages which involves high frequency and low frequency switches. The complexity and overall cost for higher output voltage levels are greatly reduced. Implementation of single phase 7-level, 9-level and 11-level hybrid multilevel inverter has been performed using sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) strategies i.e., phase disposition (PD), alternate phase opposition disposition (APOD) and carrier overlapping (CO). Also the three techniques are compared in terms of total harmonic distortion (THD) for various modulation indices and observed to be greatly improved when compared to conventional topologies. The performance of single phase eleven level hybrid inverter is analyzed for different loads.  Simulation is performed using MATLAB/ Simulink.

The growth of kids' brain could be optimized by recognizing something. Learning to recognize animals is one of the methods to stimulate the children's brain growth to imagine. Nevertheless, kids tend to spend all their time by playing and could not focus to recognize the animals due to the way of learning which is usually not interactive and not interesting. Therefore, a game application was designed and developed to be used as a way to help children in recognizing the animals. This program was developed as a mobile game application with the animation and attractive display to increase the kids' interest to learn the animals. Beside that, Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm has been successfully implemented on the game to randomize the images which can be found on puzzles, randomize the answers in image guessing puzzles, randomize animals to choose which can be sold, randomize the foods which will be given to the pets, and randomize the initial position to create patterns on rescue rare animal puzzles. After the implementation and testing on the game application, it proves that it could increase the kids’ interest in learning new animals to 4.18 in ARCS interest measuring index compare with textbook method which only 2.74.

Signal detection in cognitive radio network (CRN) is influenced by several factors. One of them is malicious user that emulate primary user (PU) signal. Emulation of PU signal causes detection error. This paper investigates the impact of malicious user attack to PU signal detection. A number of malicious users are randomly deployed around secondary user (SU) at a certain distance. They attempt to attack primary signal detection that is transmitted from 100 km to SU receiver. Then, the received signal power at secondary receiver and the performance of probability of false alarm and probability of miss detection under two hypothesis of Neyman Pearson criterion are studied. The derived results show that a number of malicious users has a significant impact to the performance of received power at SU and detection error rate.
