These latter consume an enormous amount of electrical energy, resulting in high operating costs and carbon dioxide emissions. Moreover, modern Cloud computing environments should provide a high quality of service (QoS) for their customers. Thus, energy consumption has become a major concern for the widespread deployment of Cloud data centers. The growing importance for parallel applications in the Cloud introduces significant challenges in reducing energy consumption from hosted servers. With Cloud, customers can transparently access to virtually unlimited resources. The volunteer computing paradigm has become increasingly important, where the saved resources on each personal machine are shared thanks to the will of their customers. Cloud and volunteer paradigms have recently been seen as complementary technologies to better exploit the use of local resources. This paper presents the most well-known research in the literature on the minimization of energy consumption in traditional Cloud computing as well as in the volunteer one. A novel approach, based on searching shortest path in a graph, is also introduced.","PeriodicalId":117908,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Engineering & MIS (ICEMIS)","volume":"153 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114427492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we propose a robust low face recognition technique based on unimodal features fusion, which is more discriminative than using only one feature modality. Features of each facial image are extracted using three steps: i) both Gabor filters and Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) descriptor are calculated. ii) the size of these features is reduced using the Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) method in order to remove redundant information. iii) the reduced features are combined using Discriminant Correlation Analysis (DCA) method. To achieve the recognition task, a Support Vectors Machine Classifier, is used. Performance of the proposed method will be measured using the AR database.","PeriodicalId":117908,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Engineering & MIS (ICEMIS)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124755393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This makes the audio stream contain many speaker turns. Given the small amount of data available (short speech segments), segmentation techniques are not known for their robustness. To address the problems associated with the high number of speaker interventions, we propose an unsupervised speaker segmentation approach that has the advantage of high accuracy of model-selection-based methods. In this approach we use the adapted Gaussian mixture models (GMM) to describe the speaker's characteristics. Experimental results on several journalistic programs show that the proposed method significantly improves segmentation and therefore reduces the diarization error.","PeriodicalId":117908,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Engineering & MIS (ICEMIS)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114212091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we present an approach which can assist tutors in assessment of questions with open and short response by using concept maps for the answers and semantic similarity measures between the texts. This short answer assessment is based on the reference response prepared by the tutor.

The proposed architecture is expected to provide synchronization and lower latency between Cloud server and industrial End point devices connected to Cloudlets. The main goals are 1-to maintain efficient synchronized communications between Cloud and End point industrial devices, 2- to alleviate the problem of high latency with low bandwidth, 3- to permit to the end point to be connected to the Cloud even in offline mode status and 4- to allow connectivity to some old industrial equipment to Cloud server. In ICN, Cloudlet deploys limited internal resources such as memory and storage space but it embeds more computing capabilities and better communication processes than the industrial end point. In addition, Cloudlet's location is close to the industrial endpoint, which is not the case for the Cloud server. Thus, Cloudlet offers low latency and high bandwidth communication. In our case, the Cloudlet is used to recuperate crucial industrial parameters from the endpoint and to relay it to the Cloud server. In particular extreme cases, Cloudlet can made some local decisions in order to discard waiting processing time. In our work, we tested our solution with CPG Company (Company of Phosphates of Gafsa). Experimental results are discussed in the experimental section of this paper.","PeriodicalId":117908,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Engineering & MIS (ICEMIS)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114062207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
