 Classification
Methods based on Pattern Recognition and on Neural Networks for Failure
Detection
by Jihane Ben
Slimane Dhifallah, Kaouther Laabidi, Moufida Ksouri Lahmari
Abstract -
In this article, we propose
the use of classification methods for the detection of malfunctioning
modes of complex systems. The problem of failure diagnosis is defined,
in first place, as a pattern recognition problem, by means of "Support
Vector Machines SVM" classifier. Our objective is to classify an
observation among a definite number of classes characterizing each a
situation either of normal work or of malfunctions. This diagnosis
problem will subsequently be processed by probabilistic neural networks
with supervised learning. A comparative study between these two methods
will then be undertaken in order to prove the advantage of pattern
recognition method's performance by SVM over the neural networks as far
as failure detection is concerned, in terms of time and calculation.

Comparative
Study of Interest Point Detectors and Descriptors for Automatic
Remote-sensing Image Registration
by Bouchiha
Rochdi, Besbes Kamel
Abstract - Automatic
image registration is an important process in remote sensing
applications. In this paper, we compare the performance of interest
point detectors and local descriptors, and we put forward the
application of these techniques in the field of remote sensing to
readjust images captured by satellite sensors. Many techniques for the
detection and description of images' local characteristics have been
proposed to register a set of images without user intervention. However,
it is unclear which descriptors are more appropriate. The descriptors
should be distinctive and at the same time robust to changes in viewing
conditions as well as to errors of the detector. In our evaluation, we
have separated the detector from the descriptor as their performance
depends on the interest point detector used. The detectors are compared
according to the repeatability and computation time. Descriptors are
compared according to their recall and runtime efficiency and this deals
with several geometric and photometric changes. We also propose an
extension of the SURF descriptor and show that it outperforms the
original method. Furthermore, we observe that the FAST IP detector
outperforms the others' detectors and the SURF descriptor outperforms
the others' descriptors. Finally, based on these results, the proposed
approach for automatic registration of remotely sensed images is
presented.

LAT-MAC:
A Latency Energy Aware MAC Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
by Ali
Hassoune M., Mekkakia Z.
Abstract - The
mobile nodes in Ad hoc networks move freely, but their batteries have
limited energy. Reducing energy consumption in mobile ad hoc networks
and sensors is a major challenge. Several protocols called Energy-aware
protocols have been proposed. Another important parameter is the
latency. It is a common attribute for most MAC protocols. Its importance
depends on real applications. We studied the different Energy-aware
protocols, and simulated SMAC protocol as one of the main protocols that
save energy. However, SMAC has one main inconvenient which is the
latency. We proposed a new Latency Energy Aware Protocol for Wireless
Sensor Networks (LATMAC) which solves the problem of energy and latency
at the same time. After comparison of LATMAC with SMAC, we can observe
its importance and performance.

Abstract - It would
be more flexible if every customer can initiate a group-buying project
of his/her own for the item he/she personally needs in a convenient way.
As a result, there will be multiple group-buying projects for multiple
target items at the same time. To this end, several web page mining
algorithms are proposed in this study to make every customer easily
reach the web page he/she browses for a target item for group-buying.
The data of the item will be automatically extracted and uploaded onto a
website which then informs every registered user of the group-buying
project of this item. Requests for the same item will be combined, and
there are always multiple target items on the website for group-buying
at the same time. As a result, cross group-buying becomes convenient.

New
Distributed Methodology for Intrusion Detection Based on Multi-agents System at
Two Levels
by D. Raoui, S.
Benhadou, H. Medromi
Abstract - The
development and evolution of computer networks, in terms of number of
users and services, are making them more complex and therefore
vulnerable to new types of attacks. Given this complexity of attacks,
intrusion detection systems, to monitor the activities of a network or a
sensitive position and to detect abnormal usage of computer resources
are expected to evolve and adapt to change user behavior and evolution
of complex networks. To improve and strengthen the mechanism of
intrusion detection, we propose in this paper a new distributed
methodology, consisting of two levels of analysis based on multi-agent
system benefiting both capacities reactive agents and rules and safety
procedures to detect predefined complex attacks and their cognitive
abilities to detect intrusions that can represented low threats.

A
New Approach Based in Mean and Standard Deviation for Authentication
System of Face
by M. Fedias, D.
Saigaa
Abstract - Face
authentication is a significant problem in pattern recognition. The face
is not rigid it can undergo a large variety of changes in illumination,
facial expression and aging. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a
typical and successful face based technique which considers face as
global feature. In this paper, we developed a new simple method to
extract the global feature vector based in the Mean and the Standard
deviation (MS) of the image of face. Once the feature vector is
extracted, the next stage consists of comparing it with the feature
vector of face which is authenticated, and then we calculated the error
rates in the two sets of evauation and test for the data base XM2VTS
according to the protocol of Lausanne. The experimental results
indicated that the extraction of image features is more efficient and
faster using MS method than PCA.

by Hamid Djebaili,
M. T. Hannachi, H. Zedira
Abstract - In this
approach, we have tried to describe and apply the test of folding HF
induction welded tubes, and its experimental implementation. The testing
is carried out at ENTTPP TEBESSA (National Enterprise transformation
tubes and flat products). Usually the final products (tubes) are a
series of non-destructive (NES) online and offline welding, and of
course mechanical destructive testing (CD) (strength, hardness,
resilience, folding, flattening, flare, etc..) And metal (Chemical
analysis of the material, macro and micrography). The quality and
reliability of any final product is highly recommended by customers on
the one hand, and continuing competition in the market and technology
design another hand, not to mention the mechanical and metallurgical
properties of the material used as a parameter that governs the
Weldability tubes. For this and in order to hear the application of bend
tests, Which applies to the processing of round tubes in other forms, it
took four sections welded pipes draft (before drawing hot) and welded
pipes finished (after hot drawing and annealing), we The report also
found 'health' flared tubes that should not present or crack or tear.
The test is modeled on the finite element code (EF) Castem2001.

Learning Algorithm Considering Derivative Information Into Neural
Networks
by Shuang Wu,
Haibin Li
Abstract - In this
paper, a learning algorithm considering derivative information is
proposed for neural networks. Based on backpropagation (BP) algorithm,
this algorithm takes the derivative information of the samples into
account. Because the partial derivative of the output variable of neural
networks to the input variable can be obtained from the weights of the
networks, the error between the calculated value and the theoretical
value of the partial derivative can be reduced by adjusting the weights
of the networks. This algorithm can effectively avoid the over-fitting
and improve the generalization capability for the networks. The neural
networks considering derivative information has been shown by
experimental results to have better generalization performance than BP
networks.

Intelligent
Decision Based on Multi Agent System - To Aid Breast Cancer Diagnosis
by H. Boufera, F.
Bendella
Abstract - Breast
cancer represents one of main causes of death among women in the world.
Mammography is the best method of screening for breast cancer because it
can show lesions in their initial phases. In this paper, we propose a
novel approach to classify breast lesions, despite their benignancy or
malignancy. The proposed method is based on cognitive multi agent system
to take advantage of decision making of cognitive agents, where each
agent represents a particular sub-process of the whole of decision. So,
we built an architecture based on cognitive decision theories to take
human (radiologist) bounded rationality into account. We describe the
use of blackboard to address the problem of control reasoning and the
use of ontology that can be beneficial to bring the communication
between various agents and to facilite the making decision process.

IP
Address Lookup Algorithm using a Dynamic Content Binary Trie
by Houassi Hichem,
Bilami Azeddine
Abstract - Internet
routers forward a data packet based on the packet destination IP
address. To do this, the routers must find the longest matching prefix
with a packet destination address in the routing tables. Increasing the
size of the Internet network increases the size of the routing tables
that complicate the longest matching prefix problem. Several new
approaches have been proposed to accelerate this process. Most proposed
algorithms based on binary search algorithms such as a binary trie or a
binary search tree, however, the binary trie involves many empty
internal nodes. In this paper, a new IP address lookup algorithm using a
dynamic content binary trie (DCB-Trie) is proposed. The proposed
algorithm is based on the principle of exploitation the empty nodes in
the binary trie for storing copies of most recently used prefixes. The
results of performance evaluation show that our algorithm is efficient
in terms of the lookup speed since search can be immediately finished
when the input IP address matches a copy of a leaf prefix in an internal
node without arrives to a leaf node.

The
Use of Web Services Technology for Mapping and Sharing Environmental
Information in Virtual Globe Applications
by Ebrahim
Poorazizi, Ali A. Alesheikh, Mahsa Amini
Abstract -
Distributing and sharing air pollution information through the Web
provides flexible and real time data access, and assists people to
discover and use such information. It can also assist authorities and
decision makers to collaborate in preventing, controlling, and
responding to air pollution and health related issues. Virtual globe
software systems such as Google Earth are growing rapidly in popularity
as a way to visualize and share environmental data. They are changing
the way in which scientists and the general public interact with
geospatial data in a virtual environment. The appeal of Google Earth
provides unprecedented opportunities for public access to data and
collaborative engagement over the Web. However, while Google Earth
provides a number of features to facilitate geospatial data access and
visualization, there are currently no readily available tools to support
GIS (Geographic Information System) modeling and analysis. Web services
provide ubiquitous discovery, access, processing, and visualizing
spatial data. In this paper, based on Web services technology, a
solution is presented to provide the possibility of performing arbitrary
spatial analysis and enhance the functionality of Google Earth.
Furthermore, the integration of information provided by such services
into Google Earth increases the availability of information for most
general users. In this research, we have developed an OGC (Open
Geospatial Consortium) Web Processing Service to provide on-demand air
pollution maps and disseminate real-time air quality information using
Web services technology. We also investigate the technological
requirements of virtual globes towards web based process integration and
propose an approach to integrate processing tasks into such
applications. The applicability of the approach is demonstrated by an
environmental monitoring scenario. This paper explains that the using of
Web services technology and OGC framework provide easy access to
geospatial data and processing services over the Internet in
interoperable manner. It is also concluded that coupling the geospatial
Web services with virtual globe applications is an efficient solution to
publish environmental data.

Monitoring
IMS Based eTOM-WSOA-BPEL
by B. Raouyane, M.
Bellafkih, M. Errais, M. Ramdani
Abstract -
Dissimilarly to billing and fulfillment services, the IMS is less
interesting to assurance service which monitors and manages QoS after
supply, leaving these matters to the NGOSS system to manipulate via
proposed verification scenarios related to SLA lifecycle. The eTOM
descriptions offer several scenarios for Service Level Monitoring (SLM)
after service provisioning, which ensure timely supply of products and
monitor the quality with value added business properties, according to
the contractual terms and negotiated resources as described in SLA. The
IMS as new generation must exploit the experience of NGOSS, implement it
for managing overall network layers (Access, Control, and Service), and
monitoring real-time services sensitive to QoS metrics like multimedia.
The monitoring system realize SLM must gather performance data from the
network performance and map such data to the QoS parameters, indeed SLM
monitor IMS operations based on eTOM processes and workflows. In this
paper, we provide a design and implementation of SLM-based WSOA and BPEL
in accordance with the architectural principles of eTOM and the
performance evaluation of our proposed system by integrating new
technologies in network management.
