The increase usage of mobile users with internet and interoperability among the cloud services intensifies the role of distributed environemtnt in today’s real world application. Modern technologies are important for building rich, scalable and interoperable applications. To meet the requirements of client,the cloud service provider should offer adequate infrastructure especially under heavy multi-client load.To provide solution for large scale requirements and to statisfy the mobile client from the critical situation like lacking with bandwidth,connectivity issues,service completion ratio, we present adhoc virtual cloud model for different scenarios that include single and multiple client configurations with various file sizes of various file formats for retrieving files in the mobile cloud environement.We evaluate the strategies with the socket and RMI implemented using java and identify the best model for real world applications. Performance evaluation is done with the results obtained and recommends that when sockets and RMI can be appropriately used in peer-to-peer environment when the mobile user cannot connect directly to the cloud services.

The characteristics like dynamic topology, power consumption, mobility etc. may leads to affect the routing process of packet as it progresses from one node to another node. The energy of each node is very limited in MANET’s due to which it becomes an important parameter to be considered while selecting the route. The ‘Optimized Link State Routing Protocol’ (OLSR) does not consider node energy during Multipoint relay (MPR) selection process. This paper proposes an improvement of OLSR routing protocol named as A-OLSR protocol using node energy during its MPR process. The improvement is based on adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The network simulator NS2.35 is used for the simulation, random way point model for mobility and constant bit rate (CBR) for traffic process. The performance of proposed A-OLSR protocol is evaluated using the packet delivery ratio (PDR) and end to end delay metrices. The simulation results prove the superiority of the proposed protocol in terms of PDR.

The objective of low-resolution face recognition is to identify faces from small size or poor quality images with varying pose, illumination, expression, etc. In this work, we propose a robust low face recognition technique based on one-dimensional Hidden Markov Models. Features of each facial image are extracted using three steps: firstly, both Gabor filters and Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) descriptor are calculated. Secondly, the size of these features is reduced using the Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) method in order to remove redundant information. Finally, the reduced features are combined using Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) method. Unlike existing techniques using HMMs, in which authors consider each state to represent one facial region (eyes, nose, mouth, etc), the proposed system employs 1D-HMMs without any prior knowledge about the localization of interest regions in the facial image. Performance of the proposed method will be measured using the AR database.

The Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) technology has benefited from a central position in the research space of future emerging networks by its diversity of applications fields and also by its optimization techniques of its various constraints, more essentially, the minimization of nodal energy consumption to increase the global network lifetime. To answer this saving energy problem, several solutions have been proposed at the protocol stack level of the WSN. In this paper, after presenting a state of the art of this technology and its conservation energy techniques at the protocol stack level, we were interested in the network layer to propose a routing solution based on a localization aspect that allows the creation of a virtual grid on the coverage area and introduces it to the two most well-known energy efficiency hierarchical routing protocols, LEACH and PEGASIS. This allowed us to minimize the energy consumption and to select the clusters heads in a deterministic way unlike LEACH which is done in a probabilistic way and also to minimize the latency in PEGASIS, by decomposing its chain into several independent chains. The simulation results, under "MATLABR2015b", have shown the efficiency of our approach in terms of overall residual energy and network lifetime.

Ranking of answers in Community CQA (CQA) is most important task in finding best answer, which depends on type of question and relevance of answer to the question. If a question is posted in a CQA site it will get multiple answers in different views. It is the responsibility of a CQA system to identify best answers and make them display as top answers. For identifying the best answers different ranking techniques for finding the top answers are used. The main two problems we identify in the CQA sites are most of the best answers identified by CQA sites are from the users who had many followers. Also if a question is posted and if the best answer is written by a user late after many answers, the probability of the answer to be get ranked as top answer with highest upvotes is very less. This paper describes AnswerRank a method to rank the answers provided by the users in CQA sites. The AnswerRank method of ranking treats users with more followers and less followers equally. Also the answer written at various time intervals by different users are also treated equally. Only ranking is based on quality of answers. We compare AnswerRank method with existing ranking methods .The experimental results shows that our approach is best method in ranking Community CQA sites.

Distributed Generation (DG) and capacitor placement and the tap setting of ULTC transformers can be used individually to improve the voltage profile and loss reduction. In this article, the Genetic Algorithm (GA) is applied to optimize the multi-objective function for DG and capacitor placement with tap setting of ULTC. The objective function consists the loss reduction, voltage improvement and increasing the available transfer capability (ATC) of the distribution network. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, it is applied to IEEE 41 bus radial distribution network. The results show that this method has a better effect on improving the objective functions.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v2i5.1590

Wind power supply system is an effective, environmentally friendly power source for household and other applications. According to the wind speed changes in variation the output power of wind generator is not stable and constant. This paper proposes the variable speed stand-alone wind power supply system that includes Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator, three phase diode rectifier, DC-DC boost converter, battery energy storage system, and voltage source inverter. DC-DC boost converter controls to extract maximum power from the available wind power. Battery energy storage system through bidirectional converter is to supply the load when wind power is shortage. To get the desired output voltage and frequency at the load side, the voltage source inverter with the sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) control technique has chosen. The harmonics generated from the VSI are filtered with simple passive LC filters. Simulation results of output voltages and currents, the total harmonic distortion (THD) are presented using MATLAB/Simulink.

Audio, image and video signals produce a vast amount of data. The only solution of this problem is to compress data before storage and transmission. In general there is the three crucial terms as, Bit Rate Reduction, Fast Data Transfer and Reduction in Storage. Rate control is a vigorous factor in video coding. In video communications, rate control must ensure the coded bitstream can be transmitted effectively and make full use of the narrow bandwidth. There are various test models usually suggested by a standard during the development of video codes models in order to video coding which should be suffienciently be efficient based on H.264 at very low bit rate. These models are Test Model Number 5 (TMN5), Test Model Number 8 for H.263, and Verification Model 8 (VM8) for MPEG-4 and H.264 etc. In this work, Rate control analysis for H.264, MPEG-4 performed. For Rate control analysis test model verification model version 8.0 is adopted.

In order to offer sensory data as a service over the cloud, it is necessary to execute a cost-effective and yet precise data analytical logic within the sensing units. However, it is quite questionable as such forms of analytical operation are quite resource dependent which cannot be offered by the resource constraint sensory units. Therefore, the proposed paper introduces a novel approach of performing cost-effective data analytical method in order to extract knowledge from big data over the cloud. The proposed study uses a novel concept of the frequent pattern along with a tree-based approach in order to develop an analytical model for carrying out the mining operation in the large-scale sensor deployment over the cloud environment. Using a simulation-based approach over the mathematical model, the proposed model exhibit reduced mining duration, controlled energy dissipation, and highly optimized memory demands for all the resource constraint nodes.

This paper presents a study on designing of a breath-analyzer ethanol biosensor through vaporization technology. A roselle extract and chitosan smart gel were used to fabricate the bio-sensing material. Sol-gel electrochemical deposition method was used to coat a thin film of the sensing material blend on patterned golden surface printed circuit board. Differentiation, response time and repeatability properties were studied by exposing 100ppm, 50ppm and 25ppm of ethanol vapor to the breath-analyzer. The accuracy of the breath-analyzer was tested by using I-V electrical testing. The analyzed data demonstrated that the breath-analyzer ethanol biosensor is capable of identifying the concentration of ethanol vapor at room temperature successfully, which can be used as analyzer of alcohol concentration when the sensor exposed to the exhale breath. The roselle-chitosan film sensors have shown the characteristic of a reliable sensor i.e. good sensitivity, selective, repeatable, able to recover and stable.
