Multifactor Algorithm for Test Case Selection and Ordering
...Show More Authors

Regression testing being expensive, requires optimization notion. Typically, the optimization of test cases results in selecting a reduced set or subset of test cases or prioritizing the test cases to detect potential faults at an earlier phase. Many former studies revealed the heuristic-dependent mechanism to attain optimality while reducing or prioritizing test cases. Nevertheless, those studies were deprived of systematic procedures to manage tied test cases issue. Moreover, evolutionary algorithms such as the genetic process often help in depleting test cases, together with a concurrent decrease in computational runtime. However, when examining the fault detection capacity along with other parameters, is required, the method falls short. The current research is motivated by this concept and proposes a multifactor algorithm incorporated with genetic operators and powerful features. A factor-based prioritizer is introduced for proper handling of tied test cases that emerged while implementing re-ordering. Besides this, a Cost-based Fine Tuner (CFT) is embedded in the study to reveal the stable test cases for processing. The effectiveness of the outcome procured through the proposed minimization approach is anatomized and compared with a specific heuristic method (rule-based) and standard genetic methodology. Intra-validation for the result achieved from the reduction procedure is performed graphically. This study contrasts randomly generated sequences with procured re-ordered test sequence for over '10' benchmark codes for the proposed prioritization scheme. Experimental analysis divulged that the proposed system significantly managed to achieve a reduction of 35-40% in testing effort by identifying and executing stable and coverage efficacious test cases at an earlier phase.

Optimal CPU Jobs Scheduling Method Based on Simulated Annealing Algorithm
...Show More Authors

     Task scheduling in an important element in a distributed system. It is vital how the jobs are correctly assigned for each computer’s processor to improve performance. The presented approaches attempt to reduce the expense of optimizing the use of the CPU. These techniques mostly lack planning and in need to be comprehensive. To address this fault, a hybrid optimization scheduling technique is proposed for the hybridization of both First-Come First-Served (FCFS), and Shortest Job First (SJF). In addition, we propose to apply Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm as an optimization technique to find optimal job’s execution sequence considering both job’s entrance time and job’s execution time to balance them to reduce the job

Art Image Compression Based on Lossless LZW Hashing Ciphering Algorithm
...Show More Authors
Abstract<p>Color image compression is a good way to encode digital images by decreasing the number of bits wanted to supply the image. The main objective is to reduce storage space, reduce transportation costs and maintain good quality. In current research work, a simple effective methodology is proposed for the purpose of compressing color art digital images and obtaining a low bit rate by compressing the matrix resulting from the scalar quantization process (reducing the number of bits from 24 to 8 bits) using displacement coding and then compressing the remainder using the Mabel ZF algorithm Welch LZW. The proposed methodology maintains the quality of the reconstructed image. Macroscopic and </p> ... Show More

Optimal Robot Path Planning using Enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm
...Show More Authors

The aim of robot path planning is to search for a safe path for the mobile robot. Even though there exist various path planning algorithms for mobile robots, yet only a few are optimized. The optimized algorithms include the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) that finds the optimal path with respect to avoiding the obstacles while ensuring safety. In PSO, the sub-optimal solution takes place frequently while finding a solution to the optimal path problem. This paper proposes an enhanced PSO algorithm that contains an improved particle velocity. Experimental results show that the proposed Enhanced PSO performs better than the standard PSO in terms of solution’s quality. Hence, a mobile robot implementing the proposed algorithm opera

A New Image Encryption Algorithm Based on Multi Chaotic System
...Show More Authors

       In recent years, encryption technology has been developed rapidly and many image encryption methods have been put forward. The chaos-based image encryption technique is a modern encryption system for images. To encrypt images, it uses random sequence chaos, which is an efficient way to solve the intractable problem of simple and highly protected image encryption. There are, however, some shortcomings in the technique of chaos-based image encryption, such limited accuracy issue. The approach focused on the chaotic system in this paper is to construct a dynamic IP permutation and S-Box substitution by following steps. First of all, use of a new IP table for more diffusion of al

A Vehicle ID identification Architecture: A Parallel-Joining WSN Algorithm
...Show More Authors

Several remote sensor network (WSN) tasks require sensor information join. This in-processing Join is configured in parallel sensor hub to save battery power and limit the communication cost. Hence, a parallel join system is proposed for sensor networks. The proposed parallel join algorithm organizes in section-situated databases. A novel join method has been proposed for remote WSNs to limit the aggregate communication cost and enhance execution. This approach depends on two procedures; section-situated databases and parallel join algorithm utilized to store sensor information and speed up processing respectively. A segment arranged databases store information table in segmented shrewd. The Parallel-Joining WSN algorithm is effectively

Solving Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem Using Meerkat Clan Algorithm
...Show More Authors

Meerkat Clan Algorithm (MCA) that is a swarm intelligence algorithm resulting from watchful observation of the Meerkat (Suricata suricatta) in the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa. Meerkat has some behaviour. Sentry, foraging, and baby-sitter are the behaviour used to build this algorithm through dividing the solution sets into two sets, all the operations are performed on the foraging set. The sentry presents the best solution. The Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSSP) is vital in the two fields of generation administration and combinatorial advancement. In any case, it is very hard to accomplish an ideal answer for this problem with customary streamlining approaches attributable to the high computational unpredictability. Most
