Title:	A COMPUTATIONAL HYBRID MODEL WITH TWO LEVEL CLASSIFICATION USING SVM AND NEURAL NETWORK FOR PREDICTING THE DIABETES DISEASE
Author:	NASIB SINGH GILL, POOJA MITTAL
Abstract:	Data Mining is a collection of number of computational approaches. These approaches are used to develop Knowledge inference systems by identifying the hidden and convincing patterns from the input data. The aim of this study is to propose a computational Hybrid Prediction Model (HPM) for efficient diabetes prediction. The Pima diabetic dataset is used as the data source, obtained from the University of California, Irvine (UCI), the machine learning repository. At first stage of the proposed HPM the filtration feature selection method of MATLAB is used for selecting the most discriminatory predictors, reflecting the possibility of diabetes occurrence. At second stage, a two-layered classification is applied on the filtered data, by combining Support Vector machine (SVM) and Neural Network, to enhance the overall recognition rate of the model. The proposed hybrid model gained 96.09% of overall accuracy. The comparative study is also conducted and it is evident that the proposed model had obtained the significant classification accuracy. The accuracy rates achieved by many researchers in the past, on the same data set, ranges from 59.4% to 92% of accuracy. Further, for validating and evaluating the results, Recognition rate, Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) performance measures are used. This research can be helpful to the physicians for predicting and detecting the diabetes at an early stage, efficiently.

Title:	HIGH LEVEL SECURITY BASED STEGANORAPHY IN IMAGE AND AUDIO FILES
Author:	M.SHADY AL-RAHAL, ADNAN ABI SEN, ABDULLAH AHMAD BASUHIL
Abstract:	As the use of the Internet for information exchange has spread widely, there is an increase in the skills of attackers. Nowadays, it has become very important of ensuring the protection of a transmitted information, assuring its safe delivery to the receiver side and overcoming risks of any future attack. Steganography is one of the most important approaches for hiding secret information and send it safely to the intended side without drawing attention about its existence. In this paper, we present a general model to protect confidential information by hiding it within other innocent information (image or audio file) that suits different types of data (text, image, or audio). Our information hiding model is based on using the least significant bit technique, so that an attacker will have no clue about the existence of any secret message. In advance to hiding a secret information, this information will be passed through encryption and randomizing stages to strengthen it against possible attacks. The experimental results of our proposed approach showed high level of security and transparency compared with the previous proposed approaches.

Title:	DEPLOYMENT OF FEMTOCELL AND ITS INTERFERENCE MANAGEMENT APPROACHES IN LTE HETEROGENEOUS NETWORKS
Author:	MOTEA Al-OMARI, ABD RAHMAN RAMLI, A. SALI, RAJA SYAMSUL AZMIR
Abstract:	With a vast number of wireless devices being connected to the system, the need for very high data rates and extremely low latency with ultra-high reliability is becoming more and more challenging. And with such density of network nodes, it is a huge challenge to provide wide coverage and high quality service in indoor environments. Femtocell, a new add-on in the small cell technology, acts as an extension to the existing outdoor macrocell with the aim of providing quality indoor coverage. However, vast deployment of femtocell network in the absence of proper network planning and coverage strategy makes it difficult to maintain the desired quality of service. Additionally, the service of femtocell in densely deployed heterogeneous network is challenged by interference, unwanted handover and signaling overhead in the system. Given the huge potential of the femtocell technology, extensive research has been carried out by companies, service providers and operators to mitigate the interference and to ensure the highest benefit of femtocell deployment. Against this backdrop, a rigorous review has been attempted in this paper with a brief analysis on femtocell technology and its deployment in LTE Heterogeneous Networks. Challenges of vast femtocell deployment and different interference management techniques have been studied with a quantitative comparison. Graphical and tabular analysis on the interference management techniques is also presented along with their advantages and limitations.

Author:	ZEYAD M. EM. KISHADA, NORAILIS AB. WAHAB, AOUACHE MUSTAPHA
Abstract:	Banks are in the process of moving into a more competitive financial atmosphere with a wide variety of financial products and services. From the practical perspective, the prediction of customer loyalty will provide a better understanding of Islamic banking that relates to customer loyalty and offer a platform that helps the bank management to improve the customer loyalty. Therefore, the primary objective of this paper is the development of an artificial intelligence model for customers’ loyalty assessment in Malaysian Islamic Banking. To achieve this, first a returned of 373 from total 500 samples was collected via self-administered questionnaires distributed by hand to customers at various Islamic bank branches around Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Second, the data analysis of the returned samples and testing with several statistical tools and methods was examined using SPSS. The data used were customer satisfaction, customer service quality, customer perceived value and customer trust which are the factors affecting customer loyalty. Third, assessment model was proposed and developed using an artificial neural network (ANN) based on cross validation for modeling customer loyalty. The decision of changing the ANN architecture is essentially based on prediction results to obtain the best ANN model computation to quantify customer loyalty. A statistical performance was conducted includes, root mean square error (RMSE) and correlation coefficient (COE) between the measured and estimated customer loyalty by the ANN. Experimental results obtained based cross validation with COE (0.9867) indicates that the third ANN-model has better accurate results with fold 4 and trainLM [4 10 1] compared to others structures. Simulations results yielded significant results in predicting customer loyalty. In conclusion, this research has achieved its stated goal of developing an ANN model that provide quantitative assessment to facilitate Islamic banks managers in their effort to develop and implement successful customer loyalty strategies.

Title:	DYNAMIC STOPLIST GENERATOR FROM TRADITIONAL INDONESIAN CUISINE WITH STATISTICAL APPROACH
Author:	SETYAWAN WIBISONO, MARDI SISWO UTOMO
Abstract:	Stoplist is one part of input for information retrieval system that can affect information retrieval quality. The existence of words that are not meaningful can make the retrieval declining. The standart dictionary-based information stoplist also has problem when implemented in a corpus with specific domains. For example the word "recipe" is not a stopword but when using it in domain cuisine, recipes will appear in almost every document. We build dynamic stoplist using Indonesian recipes documents, this documents has non standart dictionary-based stoplist that interesting to study. This paper use three methods to generate stoplist. We use poisson and binomial probability distribution approach and we also use simple frequency distribution approach for classifying candidate stopword. For measuring the result we also employ recently proposed RAKE algorithm. All three of these methods have the same weakness, the stoplist can be generated appropriately if the entire population of the all corpus vocabulary has processed, unlike the stoplist dictionary which can already detect stopword at the stage of pre-processing. The results of the frequency distribution is better than the other methods, but this method requires a longer process than poisson and negative binomial method.

Author:	MOHAMMED RACHIDI, BADR BOUOULID IDRISSI
Abstract:	This paper presents an adaptive nonlinear controller for Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) in wind power generation. The control objective is to extract the maximum power (Maximum Power Point Tracking) and have a specified reactive power at the generator terminal despite the variable wind speed and the unknown mechanical parameters and mechanical torque. To achieve such a decoupled control, the nonlinear Backstepping approach was combined with the field orientation principle. The induction machine is controlled in a synchronously reference frame oriented along the stator voltage vector position. The mathematical development of the nonlinear Backstepping controller design is examined in detail. The overall stability of the system is shown using Lyapunov approach. Application example on stabilizing a DFIG-based Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) subject to large mechanical parameters uncertainties has been given to illustrate the design method and confirm the robustness and validity of the proposed control.

Author:	MICHAEL ALEKSANDROVICH IVANOV, ALEKSANDR BORISOVICH VAVRENYUK, VIKTOR VALENTINOVICH MAKAROV, ANDREY ANDREYEVICH SKITEV
Abstract:	Three new stochastic transformations are proposed in the paper. A linear transformation on the basis of a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG), functioning in finite fields and constructed by the Galois scheme, exceeds by its mixing properties the known solution on the basis of PRNG, constructed by the Fibonacci scheme. A nonlinear transformation on the basis of an RFSR (Random Feedback Shift Register) has an efficient software implementation. In the nonlinear multi-round 256-bit transformation, as distinct from known solutions, the entire input block is changed during one round. The considered transformations are directed, first of all, to the construction of crypto-algorithms using multidimensional transformations.

Author:	PUJIONO, EKO MULYANTO YUNIARNO, I KETUT EDDY PURNAMA, MAURIDHI HERY PURNOMO, MOCHAMAD HARIADI
Abstract:	Nowadays, the underwater researches become one of the distinguish researches since the ocean are considered as the lungs of this world. Therefore, underwater image processing researches should be encouraged especially in the differences of color analysis between underwater and on the air objects. The colors of objects are changed when the objects are put underwater. This is due to discoloration from light scattering, refractive index, the wave, the distance of camera and environmental underwater effect. Discoloration in water is highly dependent on the intensity level and wavelength of each color image. In this paper propose polynomial equation approach to enhancement underwater color constancy. Polynomial approach is conducted through two steps: first, determining the relation between the color intensity of an image on the water surface and the color intensity of an image in a certain depth, second, determining the coefficient of constant function relation between the color intensity of an image on the water surface and the color intensity of an image in a certain depth by using least square. The result of polynomial approach is measured by using Peak Signal to Noise Ratio, yielding an average value of 19.64 and visually the result of the image color approximates its original color. It can be concluded that polynomial approach can determine the color constancy level which in turns can enhance the underwater image just as its original color.
