Three-Dimensional Application-Specific Protocol Architecture for Wireless Sensor Networks

10.11591/ijeecs.v15.i2.pp352-360
Mostafa Baghouri , Abderrahmane Hajraoui , Saad Chakkor
Many researchers assume that the distribution of the nodes is done in a two-dimensional environment in the reason that the height of this network is negligible compared to its width and length. However, in the reality, three-dimensional (3D) deployment of the wireless sensor networks is used. Therefore, many applications require 3D architecture such as underwater, space communications, atmospheric, forest or building. Unfortunately, the energy consumption and throughput in the 3D environment decreases considerably compared to 2D in which we can’t neglect them in some applications. In his paper we applied the 3D architecture in LEACH protocol and we prove by computer simulation how this 2D approximation is not reasonable since the lifetime of 3D WSN decrease by about 21% over than 2D WSN.

In this paper, demand rate and hazardous event frequency considerations which effect to the error on the SIL calculation will be discused. The various value of hazardous event frequency and demand rate will be evaluated in this paper. The  result of this paper is when hazardous event frequency 10E-06/year and PFD’s safeguard 0.00002, with test interval 1 year, the SILs of low and high demand start showing different level at demand 5.1/year. At that point, we shouldn’t use simplified formula for low demand, because it will make different SIL with the exponential formula and simplified high demand formula. The requared SIL targets are SIL 2 and SIL 1, for exponential formula and simplified high demand formula, respectifely. Hence, it should be taken more attention and consideration for various value of hazardous event frequency with various demand rate.

10.11591/ijece.v5i4.pp869-878
N. Shobha Rani , Neethu O. P. , Nila Ponnath
Automatic detection, extraction and recognition of vehicle number plate region in traffic control systems is one of the prominent application in Computer vision. The drastic increase in number of vehicles in the current generation greatly increases the complexity in tracking the vehicles through the human visual system, manual procedure of controlling traffic and enforcement of various laws and rules is not sufficient for smooth control of traffic. This urges the need for development of technology that can automate this process. This paper mainly focuses on the development of an automatic number plate extraction and recognition algorithm by incorporating constructs like edge detection, horizontal and vertical edge processing using fixed threshold technique. The extracted number plate region is again processed using template matching algorithm for the recognition of the characters embossed on the number plate with respect to every individual piece of number plate. The algorithm developed has achieved an accuracy of around 100% and works for both front and rear images of the car.

L. Heru Pratomo , F. Danang Wijaya , Eka Firmansyah
This paper presents the study on the impedance matching method in two-stage converters for single phase PV-grid system. The use of PV systems was to obtain the electrical power from the sunlight energy. The system consisted of a Buck-Boost DC-DC converter and a five-level inverter. A Buck-Boost DC-DC converter was used as a means of impedance matching to obtain the maximum power that, in this case, through a method by using the incremental conductance current control algorithm. Meanwhile a five-level inverter was used as an interface to the utilities.  By using this technique, the system came to be simple. The impedance of the power grid, a Buck-Boost DC-DC converter, and a five-level inverter were seen by PV mostly in the area of RMPP, enabling the maximum power produced by the PV to be delivered to the grid. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the design, the analysis and simulation results, furthermore, were provided

Scientific Documents clustering based on Text Summarization

10.11591/ijece.v5i4.pp782-787
Pedram Vahdani Amoli , Omid Sojoodi Sh.
In this paper a novel method is proposed for scientific document clustering. The proposed method is a summarization-based hybrid algorithm which comprises a preprocessing phase. In the preprocessing phase unimportant words which are frequently used in the text are removed. This process reduces the amount of data for the clustering purpose. Furthermore frequent items cause overlapping between the clusters which leads to inefficiency of the cluster separation. After the preprocessing phase, Term Frequency/Inverse Document Frequency (TFIDF) is calculated for all words and stems over the document to score them in the document. Text summarization is performed then in the sentence level. Document clustering is finally done according to the scores of calculated TFIDF. The hybrid progress of the proposed scheme, from preprocessing phase to document clustering, gains a rapid and efficient clustering method which is evaluated by 400 English texts extracted from scientific databases of 11 different topics. The proposed method is compared with CSSA, SMTC and Max-Capture methods. The results demonstrate the proficiency of the proposed scheme in terms of computation time and efficiency using F-measure criterion.

10.11591/ijece.v5i4.pp729-741
Hechelef Mohammed , Abdelkader Meroufel
Recently one of the major topic of research is the involvement of the intelligence artificial in the control system. This paper deals with application of a new combination between two-control strategy known as fuzzy direct control of torque and then an adaptive Neuronal Speed estimator utilizing dual starts induction motor. The research discussed consist to replace the switching table used in the conventional direct control method and adaptive mechanism of the classic MRAS estimator with fuzzy controller and new neural network accordingly, both strategies can manage the degraded and normal modes. The neural networks used are the back-propagation, to reduce the training patterns and increase the execution speed of the training process. As results we achieved can be summarised as follows: 1) high degree of reliability of speed estimation even with using only one start voltages and currents and parameters; 2) Minimization of the torque and flux ripples; and                3) Minimization of the current total harmonic distortion.

Proposed SMART Traffic Control Signal in Brunei Darussalam

10.11591/ijeecs.v15.i2.pp277-283
Bibi Rawiyah Mulung , Andino Maseleno
This paper presents proposed SMART (Systematic Monitoring of Arterial Road Traffic Signals) traffic control signal in Brunei Darussalam. Traffic congestion due to stops and delays at traffic light signals has much been complained about in Brunei Darussalam as well as across the world during the recent years. There are primarily two types of traffic signal controls in Brunei Darussalam. The most common one is the fixed or pre-timed signal operation traffic light and the other one is the actuated signal operation traffic light. Although the actuated signal control is more efficient than the fixed or pre-fixed signal control in the sense that it provides fewer stops and delays to traffic on the major arteries, the best option for Brunei Darussalam would be to introduce smart traffic control signal. This type of traffic signal uses artificial intelligence to take the appropriate action by adjusting the times in real time to minimise the delay in the intersection while also coordinating with intersections in the neighbourhood. SMART Signal simultaneously collects event-based high-resolution traffic data from multiple intersections and generates real-time signal performance measures, including arterial travel time, number of stops, queue length, intersection delay, and level of service. In Brunei Darussalam, where we have numerous intersections where several arterial roads are linked to one another, The SMART signal traffic control method should be implemented.

Guidelines Aimed at Reducing the Risks of User Acceptance Delay in the Context of an IT Service Project Management Plan

10.11591/ijece.v5i4.pp832-839
Eun Joo Jeong , Ji Hwan Bae , Seung Ryul Jeong
Delays in the user acceptance of information technology (IT) service projects in Korea have occurred frequently due to various risk factors. User acceptance delays may hinder the achievement of the client’s project objectives and cause schedule delays or cost overruns. Furthermore, the client may impose a delay charge and claim for additional damages, causing serious disputes between buyer and supplier. The main causes of user acceptance delays are unclear user requirements, changes in user requirements, poor-quality development outputs, excessive functional and non-functional errors, lack of user involvement, unclear user roles and responsibilities, and unclear criteria of user acceptance test.We help foster the timely completion of user acceptance by proposing a method of identifying the risk factors in user acceptance delay and creating a project management plan to weed out the identified risks. We propose a guideline for an IT service management plan that weeds out or lowers the risk factors well in advance. To validate the guideline’s utility, we apply it to IT service projects. The results show that the guideline is effective in identifying and removing risk factors affecting delays in the user acceptance of IT service projects.

A Path-Compression Approach for Improving Shortest-Path Algorithms

10.11591/ijece.v5i4.pp772-781
Nabil Arman , Faisal Khamayseh
Given a weighted directed graph G=(V;E;w), where w is non-negative weight function, G’ is a graph obtained from G by an application of path compression. Path compression reduces the graph G to a critical set of vertices and edges that affect the generation of shortest trees. The main contribution of this paper is finding shortest path between two selected vertices by applying a new algorithm that reduces number of nodes that needs to be traversed in the graph while preserving all graph properties.  The main method of the algorithm is restructuring the graph in a way that only critical/relevant nodes are considered while all other neutral vertices and weights are preserved as sub paths' properties.  Our algorithm can compress the graph paths into considerable improved percentage especially when the graph is sparse and hence improves performance significantly.

Performance Enhancement of Multicore Architecture

10.11591/ijece.v5i4.pp669-684
Medhat Awadalla , Hanan Konsowa
Multicore processors integrate several cores on a single chip. The fixed architecture of multicore platforms often fails to accommodate the inherent diverse requirements of different applications. The permanent need to enhance the performance of multicore architecture motivates the development of a dynamic architecture. To address this issue, this paper presents new algorithms for thread selection in fetch stage. Moreover, this paper presents three new fetch stage policies, EACH_LOOP_FETCH, INC-FETCH, and WZ-FETCH, based on Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression statistic method. These new fetch policies differ on thread selection time which is represented by instructions’ count and window size. Furthermore, the simulation multicore tool, , is adapted to cope with multicore processor dynamic design by adding a dynamic feature in the policy of thread selection in fetch stage. SPLASH2, parallel scientific workloads, has been used to validate the proposed adaptation for multi2sim. Intensive simulated experiments have been conducted and the obtained results show that remarkable performance enhancements have been achieved in terms of execution time and number of instructions per second produces less broadcast operations compared to the typical algorithm.
