Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is an emerging technology for the improvement of mobile service quality. MCC resources are dynamically allocated to the users who pay for the resources based on their needs. The drawback of this process is that it is prone to failure and demands a high energy input. Resource providers mainly focus on resource performance and utilization with more consideration on the constraints of service level agreement (SLA). Resource performance can be achieved through virtualization techniques which facilitates the sharing of resource providers’ information between different virtual machines. To address these issues, this study sets forth a novel algorithm (HSO) that optimized energy efficiency resource management in the cloud; the process of the proposed method involves the use of the developed cost and runtime-effective model to create a minimum energy configuration of the cloud compute nodes while guaranteeing the maintenance of all minimum performances. The cost functions will cover energy, performance and reliability concerns. With the proposed model, the performance of the Hybrid swarm algorithm was significantly increased, as observed by optimizing the number of tasks through simulation, (power consumption was reduced by 42%). The simulation studies also showed a reduction in the number of required calculations by about 20% by the inclusion of the presented algorithms compared to the traditional static approach. There was also a decrease in the node loss which allowed the optimization algorithm to achieve a minimal overhead on cloud compute resources while still saving energy significantly. Conclusively, an energy-aware optimization model which describes the required system constraints was presented in this study, and a further proposal for techniques to determine the best overall solution was also made.

10.11591/ijeecs.v12.i1.pp303-309
Marina Yusoff , Anis Amalina Othman
Genetic algorithm (GA) approach is one of an evolutionary optimization technique relies on natural selection. The employment of GA still popular and it was applied to many real-world problems, especially in many combinatorial optimization solutions. Lecturer Timetabling Problem (LTP) has been researched for a few decades and produced good solutions. Although, some of LTP offers good results, the criteria and constraints of each LTP however are different from other universities. The LTP appears to be a tiresome job to the scheduler that involves scheduling of students, classes, lecturers and rooms at specific time-slots while satisfying all the necessary requirements to build a feasible timetable. This paper addresses the employment and evaluation of GA to overcome the biggest challenge in LTP to find clashes-free slots for lecturer based on a case study in the Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences, University Technologi MARA, Malaysia. Hence, the performance of the GA is evaluated based on selection, mutation and crossover using different number of population size. A comparison of performance between simple GA with Tournament Selection scheme combined with Elitism (TE) and a GA with Tournament (T) selection scheme. The findings demonstrate that the embedded penalty measures and elitism composition provide good performance that satisfies all the constraints in producing timetables to lecturers.

Millimeter wave bands have been introduced as one of the most promising solutions to alleviate the spectrum secrecy in the upcoming future cellular technology (5G) due the enormous amount of raw bandwidth available in these bands. However, the inherent propagation characteristics of mmWave frequencies could impose new challenges i.e. higher path loss, atmospheric absorption, and rain attenuation which in turn increase the outage probability and hence, degrading the overall system performance. Therefore, in this paper, a novel flexible scheme is proposed namely Adaptive Multi-State MmWave Cell Selection (AMSMC-S) through adopting three classes of mmWave base stations, able to operate at various mmWave carrier frequencies (73, 38 and 28 GHz). Two mmWave cellular Grid-Based cell deployment scenarios have been implemented with two inter-site-distances 200 m and 300 m, corresponding to target area of (2.1 km2) and (2.2 km2). The maximum SINR value at the user equipment (UE) is taken in to consideration to enrich the mobile user experience. Numerical results show an improvement of overall system performance, where the outage probability reduced significantly to zero while maintaining an acceptable performance of the 5G systems with approximately more than 50% of the mobile stations with more than 1Gbps data rate.

This work deals with the design, simulation, fabrication and experimentation of a novel 2.45 GHz rectifier for wireless power transmission applications. We have designed a voltage multiplier topology rectifier including 5 Schottky diodes known by their low threshold. This rectifier could perform a wireless power supply for many cases where the use of batteries or wires is impossible due to many limitations. The circuit was analyzed and optimized with the Harmonic Balance method provided by the Advanced Design System (ADS). Good performances are observed through the simulated results and confirmed by the fabrication tests in terms of RF-DC conversion efficiency, DC output voltage level and matching input impedance.

User Selective Encryption Method for Securing MANETs

10.11591/ijece.v8i5.pp3103-3111
Amal Ahmad , Shereen Ismail
Security issue is getting important day by day. At present, there are a variety of methodologies to provide protection for data confidentiality. MANETs have lots of security challenges than traditional networks like infrastructureless and self-organizing requirements. As the MANETs are dynamic networks that’s make every transmission in such networks vulnerable to many attacks and improving security level becomes a main issue. This paper introduces a user selective encryption method by operating Data Encryption Standard (DES), Triple DES (3DES), Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and the Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange (DHKE) protocol for key management in order to improve MANET security. Through the Network Simulator-2 (NS-2), the we investigate the performance of the proposed method in terms of data transfer time and network throughput for different data sizes and different sender-to-receiver number of hops. The results show the superiority of AES over other encryption algorithms. Furthermore, the effectiveness of our proposed method is verified through comparing our results with those obtained from previous studies.

A Deterministic Eviction Model for Removing Redundancies in Video Corpus

10.11591/ijece.v8i5.pp3221-3231
Jyoti Malhotra , Jagdish Bakal
The traditional storage approaches are being challenged by huge data volumes. In multimedia content, every file does not necessarily get tagged as an exact duplicate; rather they are prone to editing and resulting in similar copies of the same file. This paper proposes the similarity-based deduplication approach to evict similar duplicates from the archive storage, which compares the samples of binary hashes to identify the duplicates. This eviction is done by initially dividing the query video into dynamic key frames based on the video length. Binary hash codes of these frames are then compared with existing key frames to identify the differences. The similarity score is determined based on these differences, which decides the eradication strategy of duplicate copy. Duplicate elimination goes through two levels, namely removal of exact duplicates and similar duplicates. The proposed approach has shortened the comparison window by comparing only the candidate hash codes based on the dynamic key frames and aims the accurate lossless duplicate removals. The presented work is executed and tested on the produced synthetic video dataset. Results show the reduction in redundant data and increase in the storage space. Binary hashes and similarity scores contributed to achieving good deduplication ratio and overall performance.

Power Cable with Two Joints Experimental Analysis for Defect Assessments

10.11591/ijeecs.v12.i1.pp399-405
Tze Mei Kuan , Azrul Mohd. Ariffin
Time domain reflectometry (TDR) is an easy technique that provides quick response which is ideal for power utility companies to conduct cable diagnostics on-site. Electricity disruption due to power cable failure is a major challenge for power utility companies due to the long length of cable installed with joints. The long time taken to diagnose the defect along the cable before electricity can be restored has not only jeopardized the reputation of power utility companies but also brings losses to the economy. Hence, this study conducts experimental analysis on cable with two joints with the application of TDR technique to reduce the electricity disruption time. This research is divided into two stages where stage 1 conducts experiments on cable with one degraded section while stage 2 looks into cable with two degraded sections. The TDR reflection characteristics are studied from stage 1 experiments and applied to stage 2 experiments to verify the consistency of the TDR reflection characteristics. The cable conditions of stage 2 experiments are predicted using the reflection characteristics from stage 1 observations and are then validated by comparing these predictions with the actual cable configuration. Results obtained from these experiments have proven that the TDR reflection characteristics are consistent and accurate which can be used to sectionalize the degraded cable section. Detail findings of all experiments conducted with the TDR application are discussed in part three of this paper.

Cases of misdiagnosis and variability evaluation among the dentists do happen. The complexity of anatomical structures and the low contrast of the original images are factors that contribute to the problems. Image enhancement is often used to enhance medical images. However, currently limited work has been done in enhancing the dental pathological features. Dentists come from different background in terms of experience, place of study, method of practices and emotional quotient. These are some of the factors that may cause differences in subjective evaluation among dentists. Therefore, this research focused on identifying objective measurements based on dentists’ subjective evaluation on abnormalities’ detection in jaw area. Objective measurement is based on contrast improvement index (CII) and subjective evaluation is derived from dentists’ questionnaire answering. This paper contributes to new knowledge in the initial phase of identifying dental disease characteristics by means of correlation between the subjective and objective evaluation.

10.11591/ijeecs.v12.i1.pp127-136
Jayagopi G , Pushpa S
Obvious information content in Electro cardio graph has become mandatory to reveal the abnormalities in the heart functions. Arrhythmia is commonly seen heart disorder and results in fatal end, if not identified and treated properly within time limits. The straight forward scene in such diagnosis is to detect the salient features from the Electro cardio graph data using signal processing methods followed by proper classification methods.  16 classes of Arrhythmia had been classified in this work by adopting the traditional method of abnormality detection while introducing a novelty in the type of features to be extracted. Lyapunov Exponents, Kolmogorov Sinai Entropy Density, Kolmogorov Sinai Entropy Universality and R-R interval features based on Kurtosis and Skewness had been used to classify the heart beats from the benchmark MIT-Arrhythmia database. Since alternative features had been utilized, common Support Vector Machines based classification could produce an accuracy of 98.95% in the proposed work with just 13 features.

Cryptography guarantees security in communication through encryption. This paper proposed a modified Blowfish encryption that uses 128-bit block size and 128-bit key to comply with minimum requirements as an encryption standard. The modification retained the original structure for easy migration but utilized two S-boxes to save memory. A derivation was added to prevent symmetry.  The algorithm’s performance was evaluated using time, and avalanche. Upon testing, the modified blowfish is slower with key, encryption, and decryption average of 26.99ms, 1651.83ms, and 2765.04ms compared to blowfish with 21.65ms, 1297.76ms and 2176.59ms due to block size difference. Applying 128-bit block size increases security by decreasing the chances of having duplicate blocks that may leak information. The modified Blowfish is faster compared to Twofish with an encryption and decryption average time of 2418.08ms and 4002.70ms. The added derivation improved the avalanche of the modified blowfish.  Blowfish achieved 47.14% while modified Blowfish attained 52.86%.
