Fitri Utaminingrum , Renaldi Primaswara Praetya , Yuita Arum Sari
Object Detection using Haar Cascade Clasifier widely applied in several devices and applications as a medium of interaction between human and computer such as a tool control that utilizes the detection of eye movements. Obviously speed and precision in the detection process such as eyes, has an effect if implemented on a device. If the eye could not detect accurately, controlling device systems could reach bad detection as well. The proposed method can be used as an approach to detect the eye region of eye based on haar classifier method by means of modifying the direction of sliding window. In which, it was initially placed in the middle position of image on facial area by assuming the location of eyes area in the central region of the image. While the window region of conventional haar cascade scan the whole of image start from the left top corner. From the experiment by using our proposed method, it can speed up the the computation time and improve accuracy significantly reach to 92,4%.

DARE Algorithm: A New Security Protocol by Integration of Different Cryptographic Techniques

10.11591/.v7i2.pp1032-1041
John Mark Espalmado , Edwin Arboleda
Exchange of information between computer networks requires a secure communications channel to prevent and monitor unauthorized access, modification and denial of the computer network. To address this growing problem, security experts sought ways to advance the integrity of data transmission. Security Attacks compromises the security and hence hybrid cryptographic algorithms have been proposed to achieve safe service in the proper manner, such as user authentication and data confidentiality. Data security and authenticity are achieved using these algorithms. Moreover, to improve the strength and cover each algorithm’s weaknesses, a new security algorithm can be designed using the combination of different cryptographic techniques. This design uses Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) for authentic key generation, Data Encryption Standard (DES) for key scheduling, and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Rivest–Schamir–Adleman Algorithm (RSA) in encrypting data. This new security algorithm has been proposed for improved security and integrity by integration of these cryptographic techniques.

10.11591/.v7i2.pp1042-1050
Akash Punhani , Pardeep Kumar , Nitin Nitin
Interconnection network is an important part of the digital system. The interconnection mainly describes the topology of the network along with the routing algorithm and flow control mechanism. The topology of the network plays an important role on the performance of the system. Mesh interconnection network was the simplest topology, but has the limited bisection bandwidth on the other hand torus and diagonal mesh was having long links. The Modified diagonal mesh network tried to replace the torodial links but was having more average path length so in proposed topology we have tried to improve the average distance using shuffle exchange network over the boundary node. In this paper, we propose the architecture of Modified Diagonal Mesh Shuffle Exchange Interconnection Network. This Modified Diagonal Mesh Shuffle Exchange Interconnection network have been compared with four popular topologies that are simple 2D Mesh, 2D Torus, Diagonal Mesh and Modified Diagonal Mesh Interconnection Network on the four traffic patterns such as Bit Complement traffic, Neighbor traffic, Tornado traffic and Uniform traffic are used for comparisonand performance analysis. We have performed the analysis with a 5% and 10% of hotspot on the Uniform Traffic. The simulation results shows that the proposed topology is performed better on bit complement traffic and can also handle the other traffic up to certain level.

Satheesh K S V A Kavuri , Gangadhara Rao Kancherla , Basaveswararao Bobba
Cloud computing is a distributed architecture where user can store their private, public or any application software components on it. Many cloud based privacy protection solutions have been implemented, however most of them only focus on limited data resources and storage format. Data confidentiality and inefficient data access methods are the major issues which block the cloud users to store their high dimensional data. With more and more cloud based applications are being available and stored on various cloud servers, a novel multi-user based privacy protection mechanism need to design and develop to improve the privacy protection on high dimensional data. In this paper, a novel integrity algorithm with attribute based encryption model was implemented to ensure confidentiality for high dimensional data security on cloud storage. The main objective of this model is to store, transmit and retrieve the high dimensional cloud data with low computational time and high security. Experimental results show that the proposed model has high data scalability, less computational time and low memory usage compared to traditional cloud based privacy protection models.

Vehicle safety has becoming one of the important issues nowadays, due to the fact the number of road accidents, which cause injuries, deaths and also damages, keeps on increasing. One of the main factors which contribute to these accidents are human's lack of awareness and also carelessness. This paper presents the development and implementation of an algorithm to be utilized for vehicle anti-collision alert system, which may be useful to reduce the occurrence of accidents. This algorithm, which is to be deployed with the front sensors of the vehicle, is capable of alerting any occurrence of sudden slowing or static vehicles ahead, by sensing the rate of distance change. Furthermore, it also triggers an alert if the driver is breaching the safe distance from the vehicle ahead. This algorithm has been successfully implemented in Altera DE0 FPGA and its functionality was validated via hardware experimental tests.

Optimal Siting of Distributed Generators in a Distribution Network using Artificial Immune System

10.11591/.v7i2.pp641-649
Meera P.S. , S. Hemamalini
Distributed generation (DG) sources are being installed in distribution networks worldwide due to their numerous advantages over the conventional sources which include operational and economical benefits. Random placement of DG sources in a distribution network will result in adverse effects such as increased power loss, loss of voltage stability and reliability, increase in operational costs, power quality issues etc. This paper presents a methodology to obtain the optimal location for the placement of multiple DG sources in a distribution network from a technical perspective. Optimal location is obtained by evaluating a global multi-objective technical index (MOTI) using a weighted sum method. Clonal selection based artificial immune system (AIS) is used along with optimal power flow (OPF) technique to obtain the solution. The proposed method is executed on a standard IEEE-33 bus radial distribution system. The results justify the choice of AIS and the use of MOTI in optimal siting of DG sources which improves the distribution system efficiency to a great extent in terms of reduced real and reactive power losses, improved voltage profile and voltage stability. Solutions obtained using AIS are compared with Genetic algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm optimization (PSO) solutions for the same objective function.

Previous research only focus on maximizing revenue for pricing strategies for information good with regardless the marginal and monitoring costs. This paper aims to focus on the addition of marginal and monitoring costs into the pricing strategies to maintain the maximal revenue while introduce the costs incurred in adopting the strategies. The well-known utility functions applied to also consider the consumer’s satisfaction towards the service offered. The results show that the addition costs incurred for setting up the strategies can also increase the profit for the providers rather than neglecting the costs. It is also showed that the Cobb-Douglas utility functions used can enhance the notion of provider to optimize the revenue compared to quasi linear and perfect substitutes.
