Title:	EMERGENCY STATIONS IN THE GRAND MOSQUE OF MECCA AS AN APPLICATION FOR WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS
Author:	ALI IBRAHIM LATIF, MARINI OTHMAN, NOR'ASHIKIN BTE ALI, YUSOR RAFID BAHAR AL-MAYOUF, OMAR ADIL MAHDI
Abstract:	During the annual Hajj pilgrimage, a large number of pilgrims suffer death as a result of misadventure and natural causes. Others, unfamiliar with the location, become lost in the crowds. As the demands of catering to the needs of ever-growing numbers of pilgrims visiting the Sacred Mosques increase, crowd control and communication between pilgrims and those responsible for the provision of services remains a significant issue for both the local authority and the pilgrims themselves. This paper reports how, in order to alleviate some of these problems, wireless sensor network stations should be established as emergency fixed stations. Such stations should be strategically situated throughout the holy mosque to assist rescue teams in locating and recovering lost pilgrims. Important factors in selecting the type of sensor are the power it consumes, its range and financial cost. The best combination of these factors can be found in the RF Engines sensor produced by Synapse. In modelling the network characteristics of this sensor in a variety of circumstances, the results demonstrate stability in sending and resaving packets with low rates of delay and dropped packet. In view of these results and due to the limited size of the network, high network performance can be anticipated.

Title:	E-COMMERCE ADOPTION IN PENINSULAR MALAYSIA: PERCEIVED STRATEGIC VALUE AS MODERATOR IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERCEIVED BARRIERS, ORGANIZATION READINESS AND COMPETITOR PRESSURE
Author:	SENG CHEE LIM, AHMAD SUHAIMI BAHARUDIN, RONG QUAN LOW
Abstract:	This research proposed a parsimony model by combined two streams of theories: technological organizational environmental framework and perceived strategic value to seek more information to explain the e-commerce adoption phenomena in Peninsular Malaysia. Three predictor variables namely: Perceived Barriers, Organization Readiness and Competitor pressure and three moderators namely: operational support, managerial productivity, and strategic decision to investigate e-Commerce adoption. A total of 1200 survey questionnaires were sent to target audiences. After 3 months, 300 datasets were returned, and 217 datasets are useful. SmartPLS and SPSS tools used to perform data analysis. Perceived Barriers is not significant for small and medium sized enterprises. Perceived strategic value does not has any influence on small sized enterprises but it has a strong influence to medium sized enterprises to adopt e-Commerce. Three research questions used to guide for the research: (i) What is the level of e-Commerce adoption, (ii) Do perceived barriers, organization readiness and competitor pressure have relationship with e-Commerce adoption and (iii) Do perceive strategic value has moderation effects on the relationship between predictor variables and dependent variable.

Title:	FACE RECOGNITION USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS IN PARALLEL ARCHITECTURE
Author:	BATYRKHAN OMAROV, AZIZAH SULIMAN, KAISAR KUSHIBAR
Abstract:	Face detection and recognition is the main aspect for different important areas such as video surveillance, biometrics, interactive game applications, human computer interaction and access control systems. These systems require fast real time detection and recognition with high recognition rate. In this paper we propose implementation of the Artificial Neural Network by using high performance computing architecture based on Graphics Processing Unit to get face recognition with high accuracy and more speedup. There, we consider a parallel training approach for backpropagation algorithm for face recognition. For the high performance of face recognition it was used Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) on a GPU. The experimental results demonstrate a significant decrease on executing times and greater speedup than serial implementation.

Title:	APPLICATION OF GREEN ENERGY FOR BATIK PRODUCTION PROCESS
Author:	RAMADONI SYAHPUTRA , INDAH SOESANTI
Abstract:	Batik is a piece of cloth applied by means of a dye-resist technique using "batik-wax" as the resisting medium. Batik has been named as the cultural heritage of Indonesia, which has been recognized by the world. As generally in Indonesia, batik industry is currently still a class of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). One of the quite popular in Indonesia is Yogyakarta batik. There are some Batik SMEs in Yogyakarta. The issue of the SMEs is that the production process is still using kerosene stoves, while the price of kerosene is very expensive. In addition, the use of kerosene means using fossil fuels that produce environmental pollution. Therefore, in this paper described the application of environmentally friendly green energy sources for the production process of batik. The energy source is the installation of solar home system. The system is used to distribute electrical power to the batik electric stove. The use of solar home system and batik electric stoves is more practical and economical than kerosene stove. Another advantage is to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and help preserve the environment with the use of green technology. Applications of green technology in Yogyakarta Batik SMEs help continuity of batik production. This is in accordance with the needs of both SMEs who have often experienced a power outage that disrupts batik production process, especially if using an electric stove for batik. Solar home systems installation and procurement of electric stoves for batik has managed to increase both production capacity and gross profit of the SMEs.

Abstract:	Nowadays, unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) is created to reduce human intervention in deep-water application. UUV can help human to make an underwater application that commonly used in deep water industries. During operation, the UUV undergoes a complex multi-axis motion trajectories that are highly nonlinear because the subsystems in the UUV are ill-defined and strongly coupled to each other. The conventional controller such as Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) and Proportional and Derivative (PD) have a problem to control nonlinear operation. The conventional controller hardly to achieve zero overshoot. Implementation of the controller on the UUV using Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) itself poses its own level of complexity. Consequently, implementation of FLC also requires fast and high-performance processors. The objectives of this paper are to study the effect of the tuning membership function to improved performances of the FLC for depth control using actual underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) based on VideoRay ROV Pro III as well as to analyze performance of system response of depth control in terms of zero overshoot, faster rise time and small steady state error. Then, the proposed approach is verified using hardware interfacing between MATLAB/Simulink and Microbox 2000/2000C. The result shows FLC gives rather best performance in term of faster rise time, zero overshoot and small steady state error as compared with conventional controllers.

Title:	USING AMPLIFY-AND-FORWARD RELAY FOR COVERAGE EXTENSION IN INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS
Author:	MOUBACHIR MADANI FADOUL, MARDIAH BINTI MORSIN, CHEE YEN LEOW, AKAA AGBAEZE ETENG
Abstract:	Cooperative communication is a promising method for increasing the capacity and extending the coverage between a base station (BS) and a mobile user (MU) by using relays to exploit cooperative diversity. However, the existing literature mainly focuses on theoretical performance evaluation without experimental validation and, thus, fails to address the effects on real-world radio signal propagation. This research, therefore, aims to develop a prototype amplify-and-forward (AF) relay using software-defined radio (SDR) to evaluate the real-world performance of such a relay in improving coverage. The proposed relay is developed using the LabVIEW software and programmed on a National Instruments-Universal Software Radio Peripheral 2922 (NI-USRP 2922) SDR platform. The major merit of this entire communication setup is less expensive as the system uses a reprogrammable hardware. The measurements are performed indoors, and the signal strength or received power at the MU in cases with and without the relay is recorded. The results show that the received power performance and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the user improve significantly when the AF relay is deployed compared to when direct link point-to-point transmission without the relay is used.

Title:	TABLE-BASED MATCHING APPROACH USING GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR FEATURE SELECTION IN TEXT CATEGORIZATION
Author:	B. SUNIL SRINIVAS, A. GOVARDHAN
Abstract:	Text categorization is a significant approach to manage the increasing text data on the Internet and is a significant research issue since the out bursting of digital and online web where numerous documents are available online and has been increased greatly in recent years. In this paper, a modified version of Table aided Matching algorithm for text categorization is proposed. This approach addressed the issue of huge dimension in order to maximize the computational efficiency and accuracy. The genetic algorithm has the ability to solve this approach. Thus, prior to classification, the dimensionality reduction technique is employed where the size of the documents in each profile is minimized. The performance evaluation of the suggested approach is matched with the two existing classification methodologies and has been demonstrated that the proposed approach has better results matched with existing approaches.

Abstract:	The field of telecommunication is a highly competitive environment. So, telecommunication companies seek to maintain a prominent place in the light of this competitiveness. Also, they seek to acquire new subscribers and retain their subscribers and gain their satisfaction. To ensure that they have a place in this competition, companies must develop their systems and gain knowledge about their subscribers and reasons that may cause them move to their competitors. The using of data mining techniques has become a more common means of acquiring knowledge in a number of different areas. This paper aims to develop a model to predict the churn to rival companies. The model can help companies to know the reasons that may lead to the churn. Three classifiers CN2 (Rules Leaner), Decision Tree and Naïve Bayes were used to build the model. In addition, the dataset was obtained from Columbia University for the purposes of scientific research to develop the proposed model. To evaluate the model performance, F-Measure, classification accuracy, recall and precision were used. The model was implemented using Orange Data Mining Application. The result mentioned that CN2 is the best classification algorithm to build the predicted model.

Title:	ENERGY AWARE ROUTING FOR MANETS BASED ON CURRENT PROCESSING STATE OF NODES
Author:	ARSHAD AHMAD KHAN MOHAMMAD, ALI MIRZA, SRIKANTH VEMURU
Abstract:	Wireless mobile ad hoc network composed of mobile nodes (MNs) without any Pre-established Infrastructure. MNs are free to move and organized themselves to form a network over radio Communication area. In this environment establishing optimistic route between source to destination is challenging due to limited battery powered heterogeneous mobile nodes. Thus MANETs needs an efficient dynamic routing protocol with respect to energy in order to extend the network lifetime. In this work, we design a new energy aware reactive routing protocol for MANETs to avoid the node to become bottleneck. This Mechanism addresses the two important network performance attributes i.e., network lifetime & link stability. Performance analysis has been evaluated with the help of NS2. Simulation results indicate that our developed mechanism is better than the existing energy aware AODV routing protocols.

Title:	GAME THEORY AND FUZZY BASED LOAD BALANCING TECHNIQUE FOR LTE NETWORKS
Author:	D. HARI BABU , DR. A. SELWIN MICH PRIYADHARSON
Abstract:	In LTE Networks, during load balancing, the adverse effects of radio link failure on the handoff performance are not considered. In order to overcome this issue, in this paper, we propose to design a game theory and fuzzy logic based load balancing technique for LTE networks. In this technique, the load balancing is triggered based on the status of each cell which is estimated using fuzzy logic. Here the metrics call blocking ratio, transmit power, composite available and missing capacity are considered as input for the fuzzy logic and the status of cell is determined as output. Based on the cell status, the load balancing is triggered and the dynamic hysteresis adjustment is performed based on the game theory model. By simulation results, we show that the proposed technique minimizes the radio link failure.

Author:	HAJAR HIYADI, FAKHREDDINE ABABSA, CHRISTOPHE MONTAGNE, EL HOUSSINE BOUYAKHF, FAKHITA REGRAGUI
Abstract:	This paper addresses two problems: 3d dynamic gesture recognition and gesture misallocation. In order to solve these problems, we propose a new approach which combines Hidden Markov Models (HMM) and Dynamic Time Warping (DTW). The proposed approach has two main phases; first, recognizing gestures using a hidden Markov model. Second, avoiding misallocation by rejecting gestures based on a threshold computed using DTW. Our database includes many samples of five gestures obtained with a Kinect and described by depth information only. The results show that our approach yields good gesture classification without any misallocation and it is robust against environmental constraints.

Title:	CLASSIFICATION OF IRIS IMAGE OF PATIENT CHRONIC RENAL FAILUR (CRF) USING WATERSHED ALGORITHM AND SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE (SVM)
Author:	Iridology is an alternative method in studying the condition of human internal organ through the image of iris. Iris chart has been introduced by scientists (Bernard Jensen) long time ago. In this paper we classified the iris image of patients CRF (Chronic Renal Failure) on stage 5 (End Stage of Renal Disease). Sixty one hemodialysis patients and 21 healthy volunteer with normal or nearest normal kidneys participated in this research. Iris image of CRF patients were taken using specific iris camera. Watershed transform technique was used to extract the features of iris image of hemodialysis patients. The ROI (region of interest) of iris image of renal organ is at 5.35-5.95 (2520 – 2680) for right eye and at 6.05-6.6 (2720 - 2880) for left eye assuming that the circle of iris is divided into 120 points (3600). The medical records of participants were used to validate the result of this study. The result showed that 87.5% of patients hemodialysis has shown broken tissue on their right iris and 89.3% has shown broken tissue on their left iris. In conclusion, the condition of renal organ of CRF patients mostly showed broken tissue in their iris image. SVM was used to recognize the iris image whether it contains broken tissue that showing kidney disease or not, and the accuracy showed that for learning and testing dataset, best mean of precission is 87.5% and best mean recall is 91.7% given by the percentage split 90 (where the data training was 90% and data testing was 10%).

Title:	TECHNICAL REVIEW OF RRM FOR CARRIER AGGREGATION IN LTE-ADVANCED
Author:	HAITHAM S BEN ABDELMULA, M. N.MOHD WARIP, ONG BI LYNN, NAIMAH YAAKOB
Abstract:	With the purpose of satisfying what is required for future IMT Advanced mobile systems, 3GPP presented carrier aggregation (CA) in its latest LTE-Advanced criterions. Although carrier aggregation permits accumulation of carrier components (CCs) disseminated inside and transversely in different bands (intra/inter-band) along with CCs grouping possessing different bandwidths, the expectation is that the carrier aggregation provides a commanding improvement to the user throughput in LTE-Advanced (LTE-A). CA will permit the achievement of the target peak data rates in excess of 1 Gbps in the downlink and 500 Mbps in the uplink and the users has the right to use up to 100 MHz total of bandwidth. Nonetheless, the carrier aggregation (CA) introduced is mentioned in LTE Rel. 10, has essential changes from the baseline LTE Rel. 8 even though individual CC in LTE-A stays backwardly attuned with LTE Rel.8. This article offers carrier aggregation methods’ review and the supported scenarios; subsequently necessities on radio resource management (RRM) functionality supporting CA. On-going research on the diverse algorithms supporting CA in LTE-Advanced are charted.

Title:	A TAXONOMY OF PENDING INTEREST TABLE IMPLEMENTATION APPROACHES IN NAMED DATA NETWORKING
Author:	RAAID ALUBADY, SUHAIDI HASSAN, ADIB HABBAL
Abstract:	Content-Centric Networking/Named Data Networking (CCN/NDN) architecture introduces a novel paradigm for the future of the Internet by moving the current system to cutting edge network protocols. Generally, the main goals of CCN/NDN are to improve the traditional network operations by having devices that are aware of content’s name, to route the decisions that are taken based on the content’s name of the consumers' requests. Despite the numerous advantages out of this shift, hardware challenges, including Pending Interest Table (PIT) are still existing in respect to CCN/NDN implementation in terms of memory that is fast in time accessing and large packet storing. In addition, designing, implementing, and evaluating a fast and enough PIT with higher capacity is certainly another issue in respect to both packet processing and router storage. Furthermore, existing memory technology that is deployed in PIT, such as DRAM and SRAM, is presenting further limitation. Therefore, PIT should be able to serve a very large number of Interest (scalability). Significant works have been presented by several researchers concerning the scalability of PIT, in accommodating more interest; however, there are remaining possibilities for more improvement in such a context. This paper aims to classify an extensive and critical concerning PIT implementation in a concise manner. Then identifying their strength and weaknesses and underline the necessary requirements for better PIT improvement in terms of scalability.
