Cloud computing makes possible free access to computing resources and high-level services for performing complex calculations and mass storage of information on the Internet. Resource management is one of the most important tasks of cloud providers, which is known as resource allocation. Heterogeneous resources and diverse requests at different time intervals makes it difficult to solve resources allocation problems and is considered as a NP-hard problem. Providing an efficient algorithm for resources allocation to satisfy the cloud providers and customers has always attracted much attention of researchers. Heuristic methods have always introduced as a good model for problem solving. However, most algorithms suffer from early convergence. This paper proposes a new approach based on imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) which emphasizes the optimization of resource allocation in reducing time, cost and energy consumption. The proposed approach has been able to improve the early convergence of colonial competition algorithm by combining with the Tabu Search Algorithm to achieve an optimal solution at an acceptable time. The evaluated results show more efficiency performance than several relevant effective algorithms.

Irrespective of inclusion of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) in majority of the research proposition for smart city planning, it is still shrouded with some significant issues. A closer look into problems in WSN shows that energy parameter is the origination point of majority of the other problems in resource-constrained sensors as well as it significant minimizes the reliability in standard sensory operation in adverse environment. Therefore, this manuscript presents a novel analytical model that is meant for establishing a well balance between energy efficiency over multi-path data forwarding and reliable operation with improved network performance. The complete process is emphasized during data fusion stage to ensure data quality too. A simulation study has been carried out using benchmarked test-bed of MEMSIC nodes to find that proposed system offers good energy conservation process during data fusion operation as well as it also ensure good reliable operation in comparison to existing system.

In order to protect the data in the smartphone, there is some protection mechanism that has been used. The current authentication uses PIN, password, and biometric-based method. These authentication methods are not sufficient due to convenience and security issue. Non-Intrusive authentication is more comfortable because it just collects user’s behavior to authenticate the user to the smartphone. Several non-intrusive authentication mechanisms were proposed but they do not care about the training sample that has a long data collection time. This paper propose a method to collect data more efficient using Optimized Active Learning. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) used to identify the effect of some small amount of training data. This proposed system has two main functionalities, to reduce the training data using optimized stop rule and maintain the Error Rate using modified model analysis to determine the training data that fit for each user. Finally, after we done the experiment, we conclude that our proposed system is better than Threshold-based Active Learning. The time required to collect the data can reduced to 41% from 17 to 10 minutes with the same Error Rate.

This article is focused on hybrid method for solving the non-smooth cost function economic dispatch problem. The techniques were divided into two parts according to: the incremental cost rates are used to find the initial solution and bee colony optimization is used to find the optimal solution. The constraints of economic dispatch are power losses, load demand and practical operation constraints of generators. To verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, it is operated by the simulation on the MATLAB program and tests three case studies; three, six and thirteen generator units which compared to particle swarm optimization, cuckoo search algorithm, bat algorithm, firefly algorithm and bee colony optimization. The results show that the proposed algorithm is able to obtain higher quality solution efficiently than the others methods.

Modelling is nothing but converting physical information in to mathematical form. Mathematical model plays vital role for identification and analysis of the system. In this paper simple water heater system was taken as test bench. Considering system parameters mathematical model of first order with time delayed was derived. Model was simulated in the simulation tool MATLAB and systems response has been studied by changing various parameters like static gain, time constant, delay time and noise, for applied step input.Response of the simulated system was analysed and compare with the actual real time system parameters. Keywords: Modelling, Analysis, MATLAB, Water heater system.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v1i1.59

This paper proposes three kinds of single stage RF front-end, called quadrature LMVs (QLMVs), by merging LNA, single-balanced mixer, and quadrature voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) exploiting a series LC (SLC) network. The low intermediate frequency (IF) or baseband signal near dc can be directly sensed at the drain nodes of the VCO switching transistors by adding a simple resistor-capacitor (RC) low-pass filter (LPF). Using a 65 nm CMOS technology, the proposed QLMVs are designed. Oscillating at around 2.4 GHz band, the proposed QLMVs achieve the phase noise below ‒107 dB/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency. The simulated voltage conversion gain is larger than 30 dB. The double-side band (DSB) noise figure (NF) of the proposed QLMVs is below 10 dB. The QLMVs consume less than 0.51 mW dc power from a 1-V supply.

The present paper highlights an innovative broadband millimeter-wave single balanced diode mixer which is designed using a newly designed 90 substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) coupler and two cavity (SIW) filters. The mixer covers RF/LO operating frequency range which fluctuates between 10 to 12 GHz and IF port covers 2GHz. The proposed mixer exhibits a fairly low conversion loss of less than 10 dB and high port to-port isolations over the frequency band of interest as the simulated results make clear. Furthermore, the two cavities SIW filter is embedded to achieve a better image frequency suppression of about 28dB.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v4i6.6684

This paper proposes an improved Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm approach for license plate recognition system. The main contribution of this work is on the methodology to determine the best model for four-layered CNN architecture that has been used as the recognition method. This is achieved by validating the best parameters of the enhanced Stochastic Diagonal Levenberg Marquardt (SDLM) learning algorithm and network size of CNN. Several preprocessing algorithms such as Sobel operator edge detection, morphological operation and connected component analysis have been used to localize the license plate, isolate and segment the characters respectively before feeding the input to CNN. It is found that the proposed model is superior when subjected to multi-scaling and variations of input patterns. As a result, the license plate preprocessing stage achieved 74.7% accuracy and CNN recognition stage achieved 94.6% accuracy.

Storm activity is the main reason for forest fires to occur in remote forested territories. The current article presents the results for cluster analysis of WWLLN data on lightning discharges. It provides the description for clusterization algorithms of lightning discharges over the controlled territory. Research area is Timiryazevskiy forestry of the Tomsk region (Siberia, Russia). We analyzed the applicability of cluster analysis results for monitoring of the forest fire danger caused by storm activity. As a result of the conducted research, we established that the following characteristics of storm activity can be included in deterministic-probabilistic criterion to assess the forest fire danger. The article gives the recommendations how to create new generation information-computer and geoinformation systems for monitoring of the forest fire danger caused by storm activity in the controlled forested territory.
