<![CDATA[Since the late 1990s, people have enjoyed a comfortable lifestyle. Mobile devices supported by the development of wireless networks have spread throughout the world. People can get information, order tickets, download songs and perform commercial transactions, called mobile commerce. Mobile commerce applications become the most popular application for mobile device users who want to do business and financial transactions easily and securely, anytime and anywhere they are. Today the use of physical cash is experiencing a decline in popularity in the business world, because it is being replaced by non-physical payments are often called electronic money (e-money). An important technology behind mobile payments is called Near Field Communication (NFC). As an indication that the NFC has tremendous business potential, leading companies like Nokia, Microsoft, Visa Inc., and MasterCard Worldwide and NXP Semiconductors, is actively engaged on them. Payment processing integrated with NFC technology based mobile operating system that is a trend today is Android that support NFC technology is version 2.3.3 Gingerbread. The prototype application is designed to pay for 2 on the user side of the user as consumer and the merchant side as a trader or seller by using the handset that already have NFC technology is Google Samsung Nexus S. Pay an application prototype also implements the concept of security in e-commerce transactions by using the protocol-to-Tag Tag so that the user needs for security and comfort during the financial transaction are met.]]>

<![CDATA[Abstract: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is an emerging multi-carrier modulation scheme, which has been adopted for several wireless standards such as IEEE 802.11a and HiperLAN2. In OFDM systems, the performance is very sensitive to subcarrier frequency errors (offset). This paper shows the analysis and derivations of intercarrier interference (ICI) complex gain that used in self-cancellation scheme and its dependence on subcarrier frequency offset. Simulation shows that better improvement in performance is achieved for systems that use this cancellation scheme. Moreover, analysis and simulation show that theoretical carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR) for OFDM with cancellation scheme is greater than conventional one by more than 14dB.]]>

<![CDATA[Batik is a fabric or clothes that are made with a special staining technique called wax-resist dyeing and is one of the cultural heritage which has high artistic value. In order to improve the efficiency and give better semantic to the image, some researchers apply clustering algorithm for managing images before they can be retrieved. Image clustering is a process of grouping images based on their similarity. In this paper we attempt to provide an alternative method of grouping batik image using fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm based on log-average luminance of the batik. FCM clustering algorithm is an algorithm that works using fuzzy models that allow all data from all cluster members are formed with different degrees of membership between 0 and 1. Log-average luminance (LAL) is the average value of the lighting in an image. We can compare different image lighting from one image to another using LAL. From the experiments that have been made, it can be concluded that fuzzy c-means algorithm can be used for batik image clustering based on log-average luminance of each image possessed.]]>

<![CDATA[Although Component-Based System (CBS) increases the efficiency of development and reduces the need for maintenance, but even good quality components could fail to compose good product if the composition is not managed appropriately. In real world, such as industrial automation domain, this probability is unacceptable because additional measures, time, efforts, and costs are required to minimize its impacts. Many general optimization approaches have been proposed in literature to manage the composition of system at early stage of development. This paper investigates recent approach es used to optimize software architecture. The results of this study are important since it will be used to develop an efficient optimization framework to optimize software architecture in next step of our ongoing research.]]>

<![CDATA[Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are multi-hop wireless networks ofautonomous mobile nodes without any fixed infrastructure. In MANETs, it isdifficult to detect malicious nodes because the network topology constantly changesdue to node mobility. Intrusion detection is the means to identify the intrusivebehaviors and provide useful information to intruded systems to respond fast and toavoid or reduce damages. The anomaly detection algorithms have the advantagebecause they can detect new types of attacks (zero-day attacks).In this paper, wepresent a Intrusion Detection System clustering-based (ID-Cluster) that fits therequirement of MANET. This dissertation addresses both routing layer misbehaviorsissues, with main focuses on thwarting routing disruption attack Dynamic SourceRouting (DSR). To validate the research, a case study is presented using thesimulation with GloMoSum at different mobility levels. Simulation results show thatour proposed system can achieve desirable performance and meet the securityrequirement of MANET.]]>

<![CDATA[The PageRank vector of a network is very important, for it can reflect the importance of a Web page in the World Wide Web, or of a people in a social network. However, with the growth of the World Wide Web and social networks, it needs more and more time to compute the PageRank vector of a network. In many real-world applications, the degree and PageRank distributions of these complex networks conform to the Power-Law distribution. This paper utilizes the degree distribution of a network to initialize its PageRank vector, and presents a Power-Law degree distribution accelerating algorithm of PageRank computation. Experiments on four real-world datasets show that the proposed algorithm converges more quickly than the original PageRank algorithm.]]>

<![CDATA[Grid computing has recently emerged as a response to the growing demand for resources (processing power, storage, etc.) exhibited by scientific applications. However, as grid sizes increase, the need for self-organization and dynamic reconfigurations is becoming more and more important. Since such properties are exhibited by P2P systems, the convergence of grid computing and P2P computing seems natural. However, using P2P systems (usually running on the Internet) on a grid infrastructure (generally available as a federation of SAN-based clusters interconnected by high-bandwidth WANs) may raise the issue of the adequacy of the P2P communication mechanisms. Among the interesting properties of P2P systems is the volatility of peers which causes the need for integration of a service fault tolerance. And service Load balancing, As a solution, we proposed a mechanism of fault tolerance and model of Load balancing adapted to a grid P2P model, named SGRTE (Monitoring and Resource Management, Fault Tolerances and Load Balancing).]]>

<![CDATA[This paper described the Abaqus/Explicit 6.7 simulation work performed to study the frontal crash impact condition for an in-house designed and produced lightweight solar vehicle main structural body. The structural body was fabricated from aluminum hollow pipes welded together. The analysis is needed to safeguard the safety of the vehicle driver. The dynamic response of the vehicle structure when subjected to frontal impact condition was simulated, according to NASA best practice for crash test methodology. The simulated speed used was based on the NHTSA standard. Comparison of the analysis with the standard Head Injury Criteria (HIC) and Chest Injury Criteria (CIC) revealed that the driver of the designed vehicle would not be risk because the acceleration resultant was found to be lower than 20 G. The analysis also proved that structural component was able to protect the driver during any frontal collision incident. However, to ensure the safety of the driver, safety precautions such as the use of seatbelt and helmet as well as driving below the speed limit are recommended.]]>
