Title:	ELECTRONIC INFORMATION SHARING BETWEEN PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES AND MINISTRY OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH: A PILOT STUDY
Author:	MOHAMMED M. A , HUDA I. AND MASLINDA M. N
Abstract:	Many institutions in the higher education sector use electronic information sharing to enhance their services and decision making. Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHESR) in Iraq has adopted electronic information sharing to provide better services. However, the electronic information sharing system among universities and MOHESR is limited. In this study, a theoretical framework that includes the influencing factors of electronic information sharing was proposed to enhance the electronic information sharing among them. A questionnaire was designed to examine the hypothesis for each factor. To verify the reliability of the questionnaire, a pilot study was done twice. The first one was observed low value for three factors. However, the values obtained through a second study were accepted.

Title:	ANALYSIS OF BALLISTOCARDIOGRAM WITH MULTIWAVELETS IN EVALUATION OF CARDIAC FITNESS
Author:	M.GANESAN, E.P.SUMESH
Abstract:	This paper aims at providing efficient and accurate analysis of the cardiac activity of patient acquired from Electrocardiogram and Ballistocardiogram (BCG) signals using discrete multiwavelets de-noising analysis. The functioning of heart is studied from the Electrocardiogram (ECG), a noninvasive technique recorded by using skin electrodes and from BCG, an electrode-less technique that calculates the fitness of the heart. The setup of BCG and ECG was successfully made. The corresponding signals acquired, to calculate the cardiac output with respect to the parameters like R peak of ECG, J peak of BCG and R-J interval. Efficient analysis of ECG and BCG were done after removing the baseline drift and power line interference. Coiflet, Daubechies wavelets and multiwavelets were used to study the performance for better denoising and pre-processing to extract the features. Multiwavelet was found to be a better choice for finding the optimum performance of heart activity. 20 subjects (Normal life style adults and athletes) recordings have been taken for study and analysis on heart rate and cardiac output were made for each subject. The analyses were made 2 times a day (Morning and Night) to determine the index in evaluating the fitness of the heart. Cardiac output of athletes was found to be better than normal subjects.

Title:	MODELING AND SIMULATION OF A THREE PHASE MULTILEVEL INVERTER FOR HARMONIC REDUCTION BASED ON MODIFIED SPACE VECTOR PULSE WIDTH MODULATION (SVPWM)
Author:	ROSLI OMAR, MOHAMMED RASHEED, MARIZAN SULAIMAN, M. R TAMIJIS
Abstract:	A multilevel inverter is a preferred choice for most medium-voltage and high-power applications, as well as cascaded H-bridge (CHB) two-level inverters due to its advantages such as low cost, light weight and compact size. Space vector modulation is widely used in real-time digital control for power inverter and better DC utilization. It is suitable particularly for use in a cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter due to reduced total harmonic distortion (THD). This paper discusses harmonic reduction of a three-phase (CHB) multilevel inverter. Harmonic content in multilevel inverters can be investigated by generating a space vector pulse width modulation algorithm (SVPWM) signal based on a standard two-level SVPWM. It uses a simple mapping to generate gating signals for the inverter. The proposed modulation was compared for two-, three- and five-level cascaded inverters to reduce high total harmonic distortion, high switching losses and reduce cost based on the cascaded H-bridge two-level consists of one lookup table 6 switching one DC source, three-level consists of two lookup table 12 switching two DC sources and five-level consists of four lookup table 24 switching four DC source inverters. The algorithm can be easily extended to an N-Level inverter. It is an application to cascade H-bridge topology as well. The proposed scheme has been designed using MATLAB/Simulink and it only consists of four switching cells (CHB) and four DC voltage supplies for five-level with R-L load that can be used to any level.
Keywords:	Multilevel Inverter, Cascaded H-Bridge (CHB); SVPWM; Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) DC Sources.

Title:	TOWARD IPV4 TO IPV6 MIGRATION WITHIN A CAMPUS NETWORK
Author:	MOHAMMAD MIRWAIS YOUSAFZAI, 1NOR EFFENDY OTHMAN, ROSILAH HASSAN
Abstract:	The evolution of the Internet has effectively exhausted all unique addresses offered by the current IPv4 protocol. Hence, IPv6 has been developed in response to the predicted long-term demand for addresses by Internet users. This new IP version has a 128-bit address length, which is four times that of IPv4. As the two protocols have different formats and behaviors, efforts are needed to ensure they can directly communicate with each other. Some transition mechanisms have been proposed by IETF to enable IPv4 and IPv6 networks to coexist until the whole Internet is based on an IPv6 network. This paper discusses a general overview of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, along with IPv4 to IPv6 transition techniques on a campus network. Moreover, we summarize some of the IPv6 test-bed use cases. In addition, we describe a pure IPv6 real test-bed implementation scenario and discuss test results. Finally, we propose some major pre-activities for the design and implementation of an IPv6 network within a campus network.

Title:	ENHANCING AN END USER DEVELOPMENT IN DATABASE DESIGN USING ENTITY RELATIONSHIP DIAGRAM MAPPER
Author:	MOHAMMED A. OTAIR, AHMAD M. ODAT
Abstract:	Today, Database systems plays a large part of our everyday lives �especially with the importance of the growing concept of database and storing information and keeping the information in a way secured in the database. Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) is one of the popular and important concepts in database modeling. The design of the correct database (or good design) depends on the correct ERD that presents the requirements of the required system to the customer. In this paper, an Entity Relationship Diagram Mapper (ERDM) is built to provide developers of database as an End User Development (EUD) tool that enables them to draw any Entity Relationship Diagram then the system automatically map or translate these diagrams into their corresponding relations (or tables). The constructed database by the system has a good design or normalized relations. This system will be useful when the developer or user does not know many things about the mapping process of an Entity Relationship Diagram into Database schemas (its logical design). In order to test the developed system, sample of 100 ERDs collected from different sources were mapped using the system. The experiments showed that the accuracy of the system was 100%, without even any single error.

Title:	RULE-BASED NAMED ENTITY RECOGNITION FOR DRUG-RELATED CRIME NEWS DOCUMENTS
Author:	KHMAEL RAKM RAHEM, NAZLIA OMAR
Abstract:	Drug abuse pertains to the consumption of a substance that may induce adverse effects to a person. In international security studies, drug trafficking has become an important topic. In this regard, drug-related crimes are identified as an extremely significant challenge faced by any community. Several techniques for investigations in the crime domain have been implemented by many researchers. However, most of these researchers focus on extracting general crime entities. The number of studies that focus on the drug crime domain is relatively limited. This paper mainly aims to propose a rule-based named entity recognition model for drug-related crime news documents. In this work, a set of heuristic and grammatical rules is used to extract named entities, such as types of drugs, amount of drugs, price of drugs, drug hiding methods, and the nationality of the suspect. A set of grammatical and heuristic rules is established based on part-of-speech information, developed gazetteers, and indicator word lists. The combined approach of heuristic and grammatical rules achieves a good performance with an overall precision of 86%, a recall of 87%, and an F1-measure of 87%. Results indicate that the ensemble of both heuristic and grammatical rules improves the extraction effectiveness in terms of macro-F1 for all entities.

Title:	MODELING AND OPTIMIZATION OF PHYSICAL VAPOUR DEPOSITION COATING PROCESS PARAMETERS FOR TiN GRAIN SIZE USING COMBINED GENETIC ALGORITHMS WITH RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY
Author:	MU�ATH IBRAHIM JARRAH, ABDUL SYUKOR MOHAMAD JAYA, MUHD. RAZALI MUHAMAD , MD. NIZAM ABD. RAHMAN, ABD. SAMAD HASAN BASARI
Abstract:	Optimization of thin film coating parameters is important in identifying the required output. Two main issues of the process of physical vapor deposition (PVD) are manufacturing costs and customization of cutting tool properties. The aim of this study is to identify optimal PVD coating process parameters. Three process parameters were selected, namely nitrogen gas pressure (N2), argon gas pressure (Ar), and Turntable Speed (TT), while thin film grain size of titanium nitrite (TiN) was selected as an output response. Coating grain size was characterized using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) equipment. In this paper, to obtain a proper output result, an approach in modeling surface grain size of Titanium Nitrite (TiN) coating using Response Surface Method (RSM) has been implemented. Additionally, analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the significant factors influencing resultant TiN coating grain size. Based on that, a quadratic polynomial model equation was developed to represent the process variables and coating grain size. Then, in order to optimize the coating process parameters, genetic algorithms (GAs) were combined with the RSM quadratic model and used for optimization work. Finally, the models were validated using actual testing data to measure model performances in terms of residual error and prediction interval (PI). The result indicated that for RSM, the actual coating grain size of validation runs data fell within the 95% (PI) and the residual errors were less than 10 nm with very low values, the prediction accuracy of the model is 96.09%. In terms of optimization and reduction the experimental data, GAs could get the best lowest value for grain size then RSM with reduction ratio of ≈6%, ≈5%, respectively.

Title:	EFFICIENT LOAD BALANCING USING ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION
Author:	MOHAMMAD H. NADIMI-SHAHRAKI, ELNAZ SHAFIGH FARD, FARAMARZ SAFI
Abstract:	Workload and resource management are two essential functions provided in the service level of a Grid software infrastructure. Consistently, efficient load balancing algorithms are fundamentally important to improve the global throughput of these environments. Although previous works show that, ant colony algorithm works well for load balancing, the cost is a very important factor in this subject. In this paper, a grid load balancing algorithm is proposed by using an ant colony optimization which is able to consider shortest path, type of resource, and running speed of resource. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm by using this ant colony optimization can reduce the cost of load balancing in comparison with standard algorithm DASUD.

Author:	B MURALI KRISHNA, J SRI VARSHINI, A NARAYANA MURTHY, N ANIL SANTOSH, G SAI PAVAN KUMAR, B SAI VENKATESWARA RAO
Abstract:	Smart wireless home automation and security technique is one of the emerging technologies for intelligent building surveillance. Wireless technologies like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi have been used in contemporary home security systems using low cost, low power, less complexity RF module. It uses multi-hop communication for data transfer. This multi-hop technique gives out an unlimited range of communication thus giving it an edge over the other wireless technologies. Here the radio frequency transmission system employs ASK technique with transmitter and receiver operating at 433MHz. due to high frequency, we can transmit data to a sufficient distance without attenuation. FPGA modules are highly suitable and compatible for the evolving technology of software defined radios (SDR) due to their configurability, programmability and security. This project arises when we want the data communication to be protected from corruption and unauthorized access. The security to the data can be provided by using certain Encryption techniques. If one of the stations is stationary, then we can use this application as of automation. Finally our aim is to transmit certain data wirelessly with high security and also to control output load from any remote place. Hence, to make this practically work we need a compact Transmitter and receiver modules which can operate at 433MHz.

Title:	EFFICIENT PROBABILISTIC APPROACH TO COMPUTE SKYLINE SET IN DISTRIBUTED ENVIRONMENT
Author:	T.VIJAYA SARADHI, K.SUBHRAHMANYAM L.JAGAJEEVAN RAO
Abstract:	The Uncertainty in a distributed environment is a major challenge due to communication delay, limitations of measuring data and network latency. Due to this uncertainty, a considerable amount of work has been dedicated to handle inconsistent data and resolving simple queries on inconsistent data, but the best way to handle complex uncertain data continues to be an open problem. Probabilistic skyline is one of the enhanced solutions to handle uncertainty in a distributed environment. The probabilistic based approach has been extensively used in data mining, multiple decision-making criteria and business planning. The skyline of multidimensional data includes those points which are not dominated by any other point in all n-dimensions. Probabilistic computation of the skyline considers each point to be represented by a n-dimensional data point. Mostly, the distributed skyline queries are designed to ﬁnd a set of non-dominated data objects in a multi-dimensional data. Most of the conventional work has assumed a distributed or centralized configuration, in this paper, an efficient probabilistic computation of skyline queries on large distributed data was proposed. The experimental results show that the efficiency of the probabilistic based approach and its limitations in terms of time and accuracy are concerned.

Title:	AN EFFECTIVE LOCALIZATION BASED OPTIMIZED ENERGY ROUTING FOR MANET
Author:	K.VINOTH KUMAR, DR.S.BHAVANI
Abstract:	Localization is one of key issues in MANET. It provides information about coverage, deployment, routing, location service, target tracking and rescue. If high mobility among the Mobile nodes occurs, path failure breaks. Hence the location information cannot be predicted. Here, we have proposed an Localization based Optimized Energy Routing (ELOER) based on cluster and energy consumption model to provide location information of nodes based on Trilateration method. Proposed approach consists of three phases. In first phase, Cluster head is chosen based on energy level. In second phase, location aided routing is chosen to alleviate computation cost and save Mobile nodes energy. In third phase, localization method is developed to improve accuracy and reduce node degree. To locate the target and Mobile Nodes Discrete Fourier Transform and distributed algorithm was used. By simulation results, the proposed approach ELOER achieves high location updated rate, improved network lifetime, less end to end delay and overhead in terms of mobility, pause time, throughput, and number of nodes than existing protocol ALARM.
