Classifying Personalization Constraints in Digital Business Environments through Case Study Research

Author 1: Michael J. Harnisch

To aid professionals in the early assessment of possible risks related to personalization activities in marketing as well as to give academics a starting point to discover not only the opportunities but also the risks of personalization, a ‘Classification Scheme of Personalization Constraints’ is established after the analysis of 24 case studies. The classification scheme includes three dimensions: origin (internal, external), subject (technological, organizational) and time (data collection, matchmaking, delivery) and describes the different obstacles with which companies are confronted when implementing personalization activities. Additionally four ‘Standard Types of Personalization Environments’ are developed. They describe a set of business environments which inherit different internal and external risks related to personalization activities in marketing. The standard types are termed Flow, Performance, Dependence and Risk.

Formal Method to Derive Interoperability Requirements and Guarantees

Author 1: Hazem El- Gendy Author 2: Magdi Amer Author 3: Ihab Talkhan

Interoperability among telecommunications systems, possibly by different vendors, is essential for both the development of many telecommunications networks, and today's civilization development. Interoperability testing is very costly, as it has a complexity of (n**2) for n systems, and somewhat informal. In this paper, we develop a 'Conformance Testing (CT)'-based formal technique to determine interoperability requirements/guarantees. It allows automated derivation of the interoperability' requirements of various networks as well as the interoperability guarantees among different telecommunications systems. This is achieved using static analysis of the conformance classes of the standard and knowledge of the implementation's degree of conformance (DoC) of the telecommunications systems. Consequently, it results in a lot of cost saving in addition to being a formal technique.

Stable Haptic Rendering For Physics Engines Using Inter-Process Communication and Remote Virtual Coupling

Author 1: Xue-Jian He Author 2: Kup-Sze Choi

Availability of physics engines has significantly reduced the effort required to develop interactive applications concerning the simulation of physical world. However, it becomes a problem when kinesthetic feedback is needed in the applications since the incorporation of haptic rendering is non-trivial, where fast haptic data update is demanded for stable rendering. In the regard, a framework for integrating haptic rendering into physics simulation engines is proposed. It mediates the update-rate disparity between haptic rendering and physics simulation engine by means of inter-process communication and remote virtual coupling, which fully decouples haptic rendering from complex physical simulation. Experimental results demonstrate that this framework can guarantee fast haptic rendering at 1k Hz even the physical simulation system operates at very low update rate. The remote virtual coupling algorithm shows better performance than the interpolation based methods in terms of stability and robustness.

FF-MAC : Fast Forward IEEE 802.15.4 MAC Protocol for Real-Time Data Transmission

Author 1: Khalid El Gholami Author 2: Najib ELKAMOUN Author 3: Kun Mean HOU

This paper presents a Fast Forward MAC layer designed for hard real-time applications in wireless sensor networks. This protocol is an enhancement to the IEEE 802.15.4 standard MAC layer proposed for Low-Rate Personal Area Network. The energy conservation mechanism proposed by the current standard is quite efficient and very flexible. This flexibility comes from the ability to configure different duty cycles to meet specific application’s requirements. However, this mechanism has a considerable impact on the end-to-end delay. Our approach resolves the energy delay trade-off by avoiding the storage of the real-time data in the coordinator during sleep time. A new superframe structure is adopted and a deterministic reception scheduling is used. All the simulations were done using the network simulator 2 ‘NS-2’. The simulations outcomes show that this new proposed protocol performs better than the current standard and reduces considerably the end-to-end delay even in low duty cycle networks. Our protocol can also provides a delay bound for all network configurations which allows a better choice of the duty cycle for the required delay.

Author 1: Mr.Franklin Wabwoba Author 2: Dr. Stanley Omuterema Author 3: Dr. Gregory W. Wanyembi Author 4: Mr. Kelvin Kebati Omieno

There has been growing concerns about the rising costs of doing business and environmental degradation world over. Green ICT has been proposed to provide solutions to the two issues yet it is not being implemented fully in developing economies like Kenya. For its implementation, it is critical to establish the level of green ICT readiness of organisations to inform where to start and where to put more emphasis. Over the past few years this has been done using Molla’s G-readiness model. However this model assumes the basic level of G-readiness to be same for both developed and developing economies to be the same with regard to ICT personnel preparedness. Based on green ICT readiness in Kenya, the relationship between ICT personnel’s gender, age and training with the G-readiness variables as proposed in Molla’s G-readiness model was investigated. The study surveyed ICT personnel in four cases using a questionnaire on a seven scale likert scale. It established that there exists a significant relationship between the ICT personnel related variables and the G-readiness variables. Based on the findings on the relationship, the study extended Molla’s G-readiness model to include a sixth dimension of personnel readiness

Author 1: S. Elouaham Author 2: R. Latif Author 3: A. Dliou Author 4: M. LAABOUBI Author 5: F. M. R. Maoulainie

Due to non-stationary multicomponent nature of the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal its analysis by the monodimensional techniques temporal and frequenctial can be very difficult. The use of the time-frequency techniques can be inevitable to achieve to a correct diagnosis. Between the different existing parametric and non-parametric time-frequency techniques the Periodgram Capon Choi-Williams and Smoothed Pseudo Wigner-Ville were chosen to deal with analysis of this biomedical signal. In a first time a comparison between these time-frequency techniques was made by analyzing modulated signal to make in evidence the technique that gives a good resolution and low level of cross-terms. In a second time the Periodogram which presents a powerful technique was applied to a normal and abnormal ECG signal. The results show the effectiveness of this time-frequency in analyzing this type of biology signal.

Nonlinear Mixing Model of Mixed Pixels in Remote Sensing Satellite Images Taking Into Account Landscape

Author 1: Kohei Arai

Nonlinear mixing model of mixed pixels in remote sensing satellite images taking into account landscape is proposed. Most of linear mixing models of mixed pixels do not work so well because the mixed pixels consist of several ground cover targets in a nonlinear basis essentially. In particular mixing model should be nonlinear because reflected photons from a ground cover target are scattered with atmospheric continuants and then reflected by the other or same ground cover targets. Therefore, mixing model has to be nonlinear. Monte Carlo Ray Tracing based nonlinear mixing model is proposed and simulated. Simulation results show a validity of the proposed nonlinear mixed pixel model.

Passive Clustering for Efficient Energy Conservation in Wireless Sensor Network

Author 1: Abderrahim MAIZATE Author 2: Najib EL KAMOUN

A wireless sensor network is a set of miniature nodes that consume little energy and route information to a base station. It will enable reliable monitoring of a wide variety of phenomena for civilian, military and medical applications. Almost any sensor network application requires some form of self-organisation to route information. Recent years many protocols for network self-organization and management have been proposed and being implemented. Hierarchical clustering algorithms are very important in increasing the network’s life time. The most important point in this algorithm is cluster head selection and cluster formation because a good clustering guarantees reliability, energy efficiency and load balancing in the network. In this paper, we will use the principles of passive clustering to propose a new mechanism for selecting clusterheads. This mechanism allows the election of an alternate for each cluster head and a dynamic balancing of the role of clusterhead to the alternate when leaving or failure. Thus, it provides several advantages network reliability, stability of clusters and reduces energy consumption among the sensor nodes. Comparison with the existing schemes such as Passive Clustering and GRIDS (Geographically Repulsive Insomnious Distributed Sensors) reveals that the mechanism for selecting an alternate for clusterhead nodes, which is the most important factor influencing the clustering performance, can significantly improves the network lifetime.

An Area-Efficient Carry Select Adder Design by using 180 nm Technology

Author 1: Garish Kumar Wadhwa Author 2: Amit Grover Author 3: Neeti Grover Author 4: Gurpreet Singh

In this paper, we proposed an area-efficient carry select adder by sharing the common Boolean logic term. After logic simplification and sharing partial circuit, we only need one XOR gate and one inverter gate in each summation operation as well as one AND gate and one inverter gate in each carry-out operation. Through the multiplexer, we can select the correct output result according to the logic state of carry-in signal. In this way, the transistor count in a 32-bit carry select adder can be greatly reduced from 1947 to 960.

Towards No-Reference of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio

Author 1: Jaime Moreno Author 2: Beatriz Jaime Author 3: Salvador Saucedo

The aim of this work is to define a no-referenced perceptual image quality estimator applying the perceptual concepts of the Chromatic Induction Model The approach consists in comparing the received image, presumably degraded, against the perceptual versions (different distances) of this image degraded by means of a Model of Chromatic Induction, which uses some of the human visual system properties. Also we compare our model with an original estimator in image quality assessment, PSNR. Results are highly correlated with the ones obtained by PSNR for image (99.32% Lenna and 96.95% for image Baboon), but this proposal does not need an original image or a reference one in order to give an estimation of the quality of the degraded image.

Present vision for the web is the semantic web in which information is given explicit meaning, making it easier for machines to automatically process and integrate information available on the web. It provides the information exactly. Now days, ontology is playing a major role in knowledge representation for the semantic web [1]. Ontology is a conceptualization of domain into a human understandable and machine readable or machine process able format consisting of entities, attributes, relationships and axioms. Ontology web language is designed for use by applications that need to process the content of information [22]. In this context many e-learning systems were proposed in the literature. Semantic Web technology may support more advanced Artificial intelligence problems for knowledge retrieval [20]. This paper aims at presenting an intelligent e-learning system from the literature.

Author 1: Shailaja Surkutlawar Author 2: Prof. Ramesh K Kulkarni

Video-surveillance and traffic analysis systems can be heavily improved using vision-based techniques to extract, manage and track objects in the scene. However, problems arise due to shadows. In particular, moving shadows can affect the correct localization, measurements and detection of moving objects. This work aims to present a technique for shadow detection and suppression used in a system for moving visual object detection and tracking. The major novelty of the shadow detection technique is the analysis carried out in the HSV color space to improve the accuracy in detecting shadows. This paper exploits comparison of shadow suppression using RGB and HSV color space in moving object detection and results in this paper are more encouraging using HSV colour space over RGB colour space.

Personalized Semantic Retrieval and Summarization of Web Based Documents

Author 1: Salah T. Babek Author 2: Khaled M. Fouad Author 3: Naveed Arshad

The current retrieval methods are essentially based on the string-matching approach lacking of semantic information and can’t understand the user's query intent and interest very well. These methods do regard as the personalization of the users. Semantic retrieval techniques are performed by interpreting the semantic of keywords. Using the text summarization allows a user to get a sense of the content of a full-text, or to know its information content, without reading all sentences within the full-text. In this paper, a semantic personalized information retrieval (IR) system is proposed, oriented to the exploitation of Semantic Web technology and WordNet ontology to support semantic IR capabilities in Web documents. In a proposed system, the Web documents are represented in concept vector model using WordNet. Personalization is used in a proposed system by building user model (UM). Text summarization in a proposed system is based on extracting the most relevant sentences from the original document to form a summary using WordNet. The examination of the proposed system is performed by using three experiments that are based on relevance based evaluation. The results of the experiment shows that the proposed system, which is based on Semantic Web technology, can improve the accuracy and effectiveness for retrieving relevant Web documents.
