In the era of rapid growth of cloud computing, performance calculation of cloud service is an essential criterion to assure quality of service. Nevertheless, it is a perplexing task to effectively analyze the performance of cloud service due to the complexity of cloud resources and the diversity of Big Data applications. Hence, we propose to examine the performance of Big Data applications with Hadoop and thus to figure out the performance in cloud cluster. Hadoop is built based on MapReduce, one of the widely used programming models in Big Data. In this paper, the performance analysis of Hadoop MapReduce WordCount application for Twitter data is presented. A 4-node in-house Hadoop cluster was setup and experiment was carried out for analyzing the performance. Through this work, it was concluded that Hadoop is efficient for BigData applications with 3 or more nodes with replication factor 3. Also, it was observed that system time was relatively more compared to user time for BigData applications beyond 80GB. This experiment had also thrown certain pattern on actual data blocks used to process the WordCount application.

A statistical jacobian application for power system optimization of voltage stability

10.11591/ijeecs.v13.i1.pp331-338
Raja Masood Larik , Mohd. Wazir Mustafa , Manoj Kumar Panjwani
Despite a tremendous development in optimal power flow (OPF), owing to the obvious complexity, non-linearity and unwieldy size of the large interconnected power systems, several problems remain unanswered in the existing methods of OPF. Seizing specific topics for maximizing voltage stability margin and its implementation, a detailed literature survey discussing the existing methods of solution and their drawbacks is presented in this research. The phenomenon of voltage collapse in power systems, methods to investigate voltage collapse, and methods related to voltage stability are briefly surveyed. Finally, the study presents a statistical method for analyzing a power system through eigenvalue analysis in relation to the singular values of the load flow Jacobian. Future study may focus on changes in theories in conjunction with large power systems.

10.11591/ijeecs.v13.i1.pp155-161
Changsu Kim , Youngkuk Kim , Hoekyung Jung
Recently, Internet of Things (IoT) has been providing services that increase convenience for users by connecting objects to a network. As a result, the number of users and smart devices utilizing IoT is also increasing. So, the existing system has a problem that when a variety of devices are added, a bottleneck or an overload of the server occurs, because of structure of the system. In this paper, we propose IoT task management system using control board to solve these problems. The server performs only simple communication and analysis, and the management of tasks such as remote control is carried out using the control board. Also, it analyzes the user's remote control command and recommends to users the most used equipment. Through this, it is possible to reduce the data throughput and traffic of the server and to provide the service with increased convenience and accuracy of operation.

Simplification of application operations using cloud and DevOps

10.11591/ijeecs.v13.i1.pp85-93
Anshu Premchand , M. Sandhya , Sharmila Sankar
In our experience of having worked with financial institutions for over 19 calendar years, we have seen that application development, maintenance and operations teams have a very silo-ed existence. In today's ever more fluid market, it is imperative for these teams to be very agile in their response to business needs. While development teams are trying to adopt agile and devops practices, operations and maintenance teams are sometimes forgotten in this transformation journey even though they play a very crucial role in managing customer facing systems. In this paper, we focus on application operations for their simplification, outline the post production challenges faced by the operations teams, assistance required from the development teams and need for coordination & harmony between application development and operations teams. We use the example of a financial organization where we are currently helping in simplification of application support processes using two key levers of cloud and devops adoption to highlight the path to simplification. We outline the solution levers we used, solution tenets, solution approach and considerations. We also share a target state model and regulated key functions & activities within the model as well as an interim operating model and a target operating model.

Improving steering convergence in autonomous vehicle steering control

10.11591/ijeecs.v13.i1.pp279-285
Amir Ashraf Mohamad , Fadhlan Hafizhelmi Kamaru Zaman , Fazlina Ahmat Ruslan
Steering control is a critical design element in autonomous vehicle development since it will determine whether the vehicle can navigate safely or not. For the prototype of UiTM Autonomous Vehicle 0 (UiTM AV0), Vexta motor is used to control the steering whereas Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal is responsible to drive the motor. However, by using PWM signal it is difficult to converge to the desired steering angle and furthermore time taken for steering angle to converge is much longer. Thus, Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) has been introduced in this autonomous vehicle steering controller to improve the convergence of the steering. Meanwhile a microcontroller was used to control the Vexta Motor direction and perform the calculation of the desired steering angle. Simulation results showed PID controller showed better time taken and preicison of successful convergence of the desired steering angle compared to the PWM controller.  Analysis results showed that PID controller significantly reduce the overshooting of steering angle and significantly improve the time taken for convergence by up to 37 seconds faster than PWM controller in UiTM AV0.

A modified bacterial foraging algorithm based optimal reactive power dispatch

10.11591/ijeecs.v13.i1.pp361-367
Palvai Lokender Reddy , G. Yesuratnam
This article describes an approach for optimal reactive power dispatch problem using a Modified Bacterial Foraging Algorithm. Modified bacterial foraging algorithm introduces a differential evolution operator in chemotaxis to overcome tumble failure in tumble step and accelerates the convergence speed of the original operator. In the new algorithm chaotic dynamics are used to generate initial population to have uniform distribution. The proposed new algorithm is applied to Optimal reactive power dispatch problem with two objective functions; minimization of real power loss and voltage stability L-index. The objective functions are minimized by optimally choosing the control variables such as generator excitations, tap positions of on-load tap changing transformers and switched var compensators. The proposed approach has been evaluated on an IEEE 30 bus standard test system. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with other evolutionary computation algorithms in the literature and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated.

Developing audio data hiding scheme using random sample bits with logical operators

10.11591/ijeecs.v13.i1.pp147-154
Mohammed Hatem Ali Al-Hooti , Tohari Ahmad , Supeno Djanali
Sharp development progress of information technology has affected many aspects including data security. This is because classified data are often transferred between systems. In this case, data hiding exists to protect such data. Some methods which have been proposed, however, are not yet optimal concerning the amount of the secret and the quality of the resulted stego data. In this paper, we explore an audio file as the medium to carry the secret data which has been extracted into binary. Before the process begins, the cover is converted to binary and each sample’s bits are divided into two groups, one is used as the location of the embedded 4 bits whereas the second part locates the two bits that are randomly selected as the key. The experimental results have validated that the capacity is high and there is no much impact on the quality. Moreover, compared to the current LSB methods the security is exceedingly enhanced.

An LED-based visible light communication system for multicast

10.11591/ijeecs.v13.i1.pp265-271
Jong-Sung Lee , Dae-Hee Lee , Sung-Jin Kim , Chang-Heon Oh
Visible Light Communication is a communication method that transmits data through light by pulsing an LED at high speed, performing broadcast communication for all devices existing in its coverage. Broadcast-based Visible Light Communication is limited to application to Internet of Things services, where various applications exist, although all receivers can communicate within the range of light sources. Therefore, this paper proposes an LED based Visible Light Communication system for multicast. The proposed system performs individual multicast by participating in communication only with receivers configured to use a specified ID value input at the transmitting side during data transmission. Experimental results show that the receiver can receive files individually according to a specified ID value.

The condition monitoring of diesel engines using acoustic signal analysis

10.11591/ijeecs.v13.i1.pp179-185
Widi Prasetyo , Mudrik Alaydrus
Engine have become one of the supportive asset for many activity and work, therefore engine need attention for its condition. The easiest way to do is through the acoustic sound of the engine itself. Most of the time, the engine sounds are checked using a traditional way that may causing a debate regarding its condition. This is due to no supportive scientific basis to know about engine condition using their own acoustic sound. A value from its frequency pattern is needed as scientific basis to determine an engine condition using acoustic sound. Method of envelope extraction by hilbert transform, fast fourier transform, and correlation coefficient are used to find that value. A series of tests have been carried out on the values that have been found and the result are promising for telling engine condition, but unfortunately the values has not been able to identify type of damage that occur on the engine.
