Apache Spark is an open source distributed platform which uses the concept of distributed memory for processing big data. Spark has more than 180 predominant configuration parameter. Configuration settings directly control the efficiency of Apache spark while processing big data, to get the best outcome yet a challenging task as it has many configuration parameters.  Currently, these predominant parameters are tuned manually by trial and error. To overcome this manual tuning problem in this paper proposed and developed a self-tuning approach using machine learning. This approach can tune the parameter value when it’s required. The approach was implemented on Dell server and experiment was done on five different sizes of the dataset and parameter. A comparison is provided to highlight the experimented result of the proposed approach with default Spark configuration system. The results demonstrate that the execution is speeded-up by about 33% (on an average) compared to the default configuration.

Onto2DB: towards an eclipse plugin for automated database design from an ontology

10.11591/ijece.v9i4.pp3298-3306
Morad Hajji , Mohammed Qbadou , Khalifa Mansouri
Ontologies are spreading more and more in the field of information technologies as a privileged solution allowing the formalization of knowledge. The theoretical model of ontologies is most promising. They are increasingly ubiquitous given the benefits they present. Despite the proliferation of research proposing approaches dedicated to the design of a database from an ontology, the tools to design a database from an ontology are rare or inaccessible. Thus, in this contribution, we present our approach for the development of an Eclipse Plug-in, in order to automatically generate a conceptual model of a relational database from an ontology. To evaluate the usefulness of our approach, we used our resulting Eclipse Plug-in to automatically generate a conceptual model of a relational database from an ontology, customize it, and automatically generate the corresponding SQL script for Data Definition. The results of this experiment showed that our Plug-in constitutes a concretization of our approach and a means of automatic translation from the ontological model to the relational model.

10.11591/ijeecs.v15.i2.pp1009-1018
Chanintorn Jittawiriyanukoon
Multiple Regression-Based Prediction (MRBP) is an emerging calculation to or analysis technique cope with the future by compiling the history of data. The MRBP characteristic will include an approximation for the associations between physical observations and predictions. MRBP is a predictive model, which will be an important source of knowledge in terms of an interesting trend to be followed in the future. However, there is impairment in the MRBP dataset, wherein each form of missing and noisy data has caused an error and is unavailable further analysis. To overcome this unavailability, so that the data analytics can be moved on, two treatment approaches are introduced. First, the given dataset is denoised; next, listwise deletion (LD) is proposed to handle the missing data. The performance of the proposed technique will be investigated by dealing with datasets that cannot be executed. Employing the Massive Online Analysis (MOA) software, the proposed model is investigated, and the results are summarized. Performance metrics, such as mean squared error (MSE), correlation coefficient (COEF), mean absolute error (MAE), root mean squared error (RMSE), and the average error percentage, are used to validate the proposed mechanism. The proposed LD projection is confirmed through actual values. The proposed LD outperforms other treatments as it only requires less state space, which reflects low computation cost, and proves its capability to overcome the limitation of analysis.

10.11591/ijeecs.v15.i2.pp750-757
Prajwalasimha S. N. , Chethan Suputhra .S , Mohan C. S.
In this article, a combined Discrete Cosine Transformation (DCT) and Successive Division based image watermarking scheme is proposed. In many spatial domain approaches, the watermark information is embedded into Least Significant Bits (LSBs) of host image. These LSBs are more vulnerable to noise and other unwanted information contents in the channel, in few cases these are subjected for modifications also. Many frequency domain approaches withstands LSB interference problem but utilizes more execution time. The proposed technique is a frequency domain approach which can withstand LSB attack and utilizes very less execution time than other existing approaches. Performance analysis is done based on robustness, imperceptibility, data embedding capacity and time of execution. The experimental results are better compared to other existing techniques.

Nowadays, implementation of real-time embedded system or safety-critical in a real-time system is significant within emerging technologies because the system involves many aspects such as safety and task execution without missing deadlines. The main cause of implementation is to avoid catastrophic loss. Besides that, effectuation of the mixed-criticality system in embedded system making system more complex for task execution. For an embedded system, the main component involves real-time scheduling. The implementation of DPM method in real-time scheduling is well known, but in the mixed-criticality system, DPM method is still lacking. In order to cater this problem, Dynamic Power management (DPM) method is deployed onto the microcontroller of the mixed-criticality system to save energy when executing tasks in order to have better performance in the system. The usage of the DPM method in mixed-criticality of microcontroller resulting decrease of 0.82% in LED output voltage value meanwhile, for the LCD output, the voltage value decreased by 1.37% in the home alarm system. Thus, the energy-saving in the microcontroller of the mixed-criticality system using the DPM method is defined.

10.11591/ijece.v9i4.pp2659-2667
Bhaskar Adepu , Jayadev Gyani , G. Narsimha
A Few algorithms were actualized by the analysts for performing clustering of data streams. Most of these algorithms require that the number of clusters (K) has to be fixed by the customer based on input data and it can be kept settled all through the clustering process. Stream clustering has faced few difficulties in picking up K. In this paper, we propose an efficient approach for data stream clustering by embracing an Improved Differential Evolution (IDE) algorithm. The IDE algorithm is one of the quick, powerful and productive global optimization approach for programmed clustering. In our proposed approach, we additionally apply an entropy based method for distinguishing the concept drift in the data stream and in this way updating the clustering procedure online. We demonstrated that our proposed method is contrasted with Genetic Algorithm and identified as proficient optimization algorithm. The performance of our proposed technique is assessed and cr eates the accuracy of 92.29%, the precision is 86.96%, recall is 90.30% and F-measure estimate is 88.60%.
