A Deadline-Budget Constrained Task Admission Control for a Software-as-a-Service Provider in Cloud Computing
...Show More Authors

    Cloud computing is a pay-as-you-go model that provides users with on-demand access to services or computing resources. It is a challenging issue to maximize the service provider's profit and, on the other hand, meet the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of users. Therefore, this paper proposes an admission control heuristic (ACH) approach that selects or rejects the requests based on budget, deadline, and penalty cost, i.e., those given by the user. Then a service level agreement (SLA) is created for each selected request. The proposed work uses Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and the Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) to schedule the selected requests under budget and deadline constraints. Performances of PSO and SSA with and without ACH are evaluated and compared using CloudSim. The simulation results prove that admission control maximizes profit by minimizing the number of task rejections and SLA violations. It also improves resource utilization while balancing makespan.

Hexapod Robot Static Stability Enhancement using Genetic Algorithm
...Show More Authors

Abstract

Hexapod robot is a flexible mechanical robot with six legs. It has the ability to walk over terrain. The hexapod robot look likes the insect so it has the same gaits. These gaits are tripod, wave and ripple gaits. Hexapod robot needs to stay statically stable at all the times during each gait in order not to fall with three or more legs continuously contacts with the ground. The safety static stability walking is called (the stability margin). In this paper, the forward and inverse kinematics are derived for each hexapod’s leg in order to simulate the hexapod robot model walking using MATLAB R2010a for all gaits and the geometry in order to derive the equations of the sub-constraint workspaces for each

Hiding and Encryption of Secret Image Using Secret Sharing Scheme
...Show More Authors

With the development of information technology and means for information transfer it has become necessary to protect sensitive information. The current research presents a method to protect secret colored images which includes three phases: The first phase calculates hash value using one of hash functions to ensure that no tampering with or updating the contents of the secret image. The second phase is encrypting image and embedding it randomly into appropriate cover image using Random Least Significant Bit (RLSB) technique. Random hiding provides protection of information embedded inside cover image for inability to predict the hiding positions, as well as the difficult of determining the concealment positions through the analysis of im

Secure Location Privacy Transmitting Information on Cellular Networks
...Show More Authors

      As smartphones incorporate location data, there is a growing concern about location  privacy as smartphone technologies advance. Using a remote server, the mobile applications are able to capture the current location coordinates at any time and store them. The client awards authorization to an outsider. The outsider can gain admittance to area information on the worker by JSON Web Token (JWT). Protection is giving cover to clients, access control, and secure information stockpiling. Encryption guarantees the security of the location area on the remote server using the Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA) algorithm. This paper introduced two utilizations of cell phones (tokens, and location). The principal application can give area inf

mRNA Approach Image Encryption Using LUC Algorithm
...Show More Authors

      Bioinformatics is one of the computer science and biology sub-subjects concerned with the processes applied to biological data, such as gathering, processing, storing, and analyzing it. Biological data (ribonucleic acid (RNA), deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and protein sequences) has many applications and uses in many fields (data security, data segmentation, feature extraction, etc.). DNA sequences are used in the cryptography field, using the properties of biomolecules as the carriers of the data. Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a single strand used to make proteins containing genetic information. The information recorded from DNA also carries messages from DNA to ribosomes in the cytosol. In this paper, a new encryption technique bas

New algorithms to Enhanced Fused Images from Auto-Focus Images
...Show More Authors

Enhancing quality image fusion was proposed using new algorithms in auto-focus image fusion. The first algorithm is based on determining the standard deviation to combine two images. The second algorithm concentrates on the contrast at edge points and correlation method as the criteria parameter for the resulted image quality. This algorithm considers three blocks with different sizes at the homogenous region and moves it 10 pixels within the same homogenous region. These blocks examine the statistical properties of the block and decide automatically the next step. The resulted combined image is better in the contras

Solving Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) Using Tabu Search Algorithm (TSA)
...Show More Authors

This paper investigates the capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) as it is one of the numerous issues that have no impeccable solutions yet. Numerous scientists in the recent couple of decades have set up various explores and utilized numerous strategies with various methods to deal with it. However, for all researches, finding the least cost is exceptionally complicated. In any case, they have figured out how to think of rough solutions that vary in efficiencies relying upon the search space. Furthermore, tabu search (TS) is utilized to resolve this issue as it is fit for solving numerous complicated issues. The algorithm has been adjusted to resolve the exploration issue, where its methodology is not quite the same as the normal a

This work presents the simulation of a Low density Parity Check (LDPC) coding scheme with
multiuserMulti-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) system over Additive White
Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel and multipath fading channels. The decoding technique used in
the simulation was iterative decoding since it gives maximum efficiency with ten iterations.

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

The interests toward developing accurate automatic face emotion recognition methodologies are growing vastly, and it is still one of an ever growing research field in the region of computer vision, artificial intelligent and automation. However, there is a challenge to build an automated system which equals human ability to recognize facial emotion because of the lack of an effective facial feature descriptor and the difficulty of choosing proper classification method. In this paper, a geometric based feature vector has been proposed. For the classification purpose, three different types of classification methods are tested: statistical, artificial neural network (NN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM).

Well Placement Optimization through the Triple-Completion Gas and Downhole Water Sink-Assisted Gravity Drainage (TC-GDWS-AGD) EOR Process
...Show More Authors

Gas and downhole water sink-assisted gravity drainage (GDWS-AGD) is a new process of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in oil reservoirs underlain by large bottom aquifers. The process is capital intensive as it requires the construction of dual-completed wells for oil production and water drainage and additional multiple vertical gas-injection wells. The costs could be substantially reduced by eliminating the gas-injection wells and using triple-completed multi-functional wells. These wells are dubbed triple-completion-GDWS-AGD (TC-GDWS-AGD). In this work, we design and optimize the TC-GDWS-AGD oil recovery process in a fictitious oil reservoir (Punq-S3) that emulates a real North Sea oil field. The design aims at maximum oil recovery us
