Network communication technologies have been growing explosively due to the increasing demand on faster and simpler communication; hence, providing new communication technologies is a challenging task. To make this task easy, many researchers have developed different network modeling and simulation tools with different characteristics. In this paper, simulation of Near Field Communication (NFC) logical layer control protocol is proposed to investigate efficiency of NFC device in peer-to-peer mode. For this purpose, Colored Petri Net (CPN) and Timed Automata (TA) have been used for analyses. According to the results, CPN was better than TA for simulating NFC logical layer control protocol because it could provide more details on complex communication network.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v4i2.5154

Metrics have long been used to measure and evaluate software products and processes. Software product line architecture is a field in which few metrics have been applied, a surprising fact given the important role of software product line architecture in software product line development. Recently, Some metrics have been developed to assess software product line architecture. These metrics are useful but have not been widely used in industry. In this paper, some new metrics are provided to assess reusability of Software product line architecture. Our metrics are evaluated in action.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v4i2.5137

Discharge of untreated industrial water on land and in existing waterbodies has deteriorated the quality of these sources and has become harmful and disasterous for human as well as aquatic life..Many a times even treated industrial effluents are proved to be harmful. So in the project discussed below an effort has been made to test the treated industrial waste water and send the obtained results to the concerned industry as well as pollution control board. The sensor used to test the water were pH electrode (PE03), conductivity electrode (k=1),purity sensor, thermistor. The results obtained from the above sensors were then sent to the industry control room as well as pollution control board.using ZigBee.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v4i2.5876

Application of Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) in a system results in a decrease in component failure rates and as such improvement in the system reliability. One of the major subjects of the RCM is focused on the Online and Offline Preventive Maintenance (OPM and FPM which together will be denoted by OFPM) of the components which repairing the component needs or doesn’t need to stop the mission carrying out by it. The RCM is classified as a preventive maintenance policy and has significant contribution in practical applications. However, little research has been devoted to modeling the online and offline Preventive Maintenance. This research assumes that the component failure rate will be improved if the OFPM is performed for a long period of time as a part of an RCM program. Application of an OFPM program could cause the component set at least to “as bad as old state but cannot reach the “as good as new” state. The emphasis of this research is to model the OFPM for critical components or any equipment with critical failure in a system. The proposed model is based on the concept of PM and improvement factor of reliability in a system with critical components which their failure could cause a failure in the system (first-order cut- sets).DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v4i2.5514

Complex numbers find various applications in the field of engineering. To avoid excessive delays in production of results obtained by implementing divide-and-conquer technique in dealing with arithmetic operations involving this type of numbers in today’s computer systems, Complex Binary Number System with base(−1+j) has been proposed in scientific literature. In this paper, we have investigated the effects of bit-wise shift left operations (from 1-8 bits) on the complex binary representation of complex numbers and analyzed these results using mathematical equations.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v4i2.5283

Synchronization is an essential process and one of the first tasks of the receiver in case of coherent communications as well synchronous digital data transfer. The phase lock loop (PLL), which employs the error tracking technique, has been a very popular way to implement this synchronizer since the early 1930s. A phenomenon called cycle slip occurs when the number of cycles present in the transmitted carrier (clock) differs from that of the recovered carrier (clock) at the receiver. The cycle slip can be very detrimental to some applications such as frequency modulated communications systems (FSK, multi-carrier etc.), burst digital data transfer, training pulse retrieval, and so on. This paper presents a remedy to avoid the cycle slip by using properly designed second-order Type II PLL.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v4i2.5048

This paper contains an approach of a generalized optimization formulation regarded as genetic algorithm with a view to determining the optimal location of distributed generators in 10-bus network offering reactive power capability. It is certainly the case that the reactive power management plays a noteworthy role, when it is required to improve not just the voltage profile but the voltage stability as well. In this paper, the requisite reactive power planning has been precisely solved by the evolutionary genetic algorithm, which is based on biological metaphor, in which best individuals are selected among parents and offspring generation. In addition, genetic algorithm does not need initial information about the system to begin the searching process since it works only with the chromosomes which will be optimized according to the objective functions and the proper constraints. As far as this paper goes, the injection of 228.5469553MVAR reactive power by Static Var Compensator (SVC) is enough to maintain voltage stability throughout the system.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v4i2.5879
