The possibility to interconnect industrial machinery to the cyber world through Cyber Physical System (CPS) enables innovative services, but open new challenges on communication and data management sides. In fact, it is important to identify not only which CPS generated an information, but also where it is located on the production plant, since the configuration of the automation could dynamically change in function of the product being produced. In our research work, a low-cost (and low power) approach for the estimation of the relative position of CPS in industrial plant has been investigated. The proposed solution exploits the Direction Finding service introduced by Bluetooth 5.0. The Angle of Arrival (AoA) method in connection-less mode is used to estimate the angle between a tag and the receiving anchors. In this way, the computational power (and, the relative power consumption) of the tag is limited. The preliminary characterization of this solution shows as the maximum error angle is about 5° at a distance of 4 m between anchor and tag. This result is promising, although the application of the BLE Direction Finding service requires a careful design of the array of antennas and of its radiation pattern to allow a proper localization in the three-dimensional space.","PeriodicalId":170342,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE AFRICON","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129144128","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 the past year, several thousands of articles on COVID-19 modelling were published. The spread of the pandemic has frequently been modelled using the Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) epidemic model owing to the low level of complexity. In recognition of its simplicity, we developed an SIR model to represent the spread of disease on a global scale, irrespective of mutation and countermeasures. The SIR parameters were reverse-engineered from aggregated global data. This model is the first to retrospectively deduce the initial incidence. The average transmission and recovery parameters were computed to be 0.33 week−1 and 0.23 week−1, respectively. These values lie well within the range of reported values on COVID-19 determined from geographically different regions. The model was simulated in the Ventana® simulation environment Vensim® for a 65-weeks duration and an adjusted initial infection incidence, which was presumed three times the reported initial infection incidence. The simulated data visually aligns with the real incidence data. We attribute the discrepancy between the presumed initial value and the reported value to lack of testing facilities on the starting date of 1 March 2020. Our parameter extraction suggests a novel methodology to quantify undertesting retrospectively in epidemics.","PeriodicalId":170342,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE AFRICON","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115934767","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 paper presents a standalone PV system for a typical residential building that incorporates load management using mixed-integer linear programming. This was evaluated by taking the energy profile of a building and using forecasted solar irradiance to obtained optimal sizing of PV and battery system. The appliances considered under this study were classified into controllable and uncontrollable as prescribed by the owner. The scheduling pattern of appliances was modeled using the mixed-integer linear programming constrained due to battery state of charge, season variation, and present load demand. Three cases were considered during the implementation of this study, the initial capacity of the battery bank was rated at 25kWh, the battery state of charge (SOC) was maintained at less than 50% of its capacity throughout the cases, also, the demand satisfaction of the end-users varies between 78%-88% which ensures higher weighted appliances in terms of priority were guaranteed for operation. The significance of this paper is to enable residential users to improve their standard of living with respect to an available and accessible source of power (photovoltaic system) with optimal scheduling of appliances","PeriodicalId":170342,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE AFRICON","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132056019","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}

The activity results into huge financial and social loses and the vice is declared when human image is detected in the restricted area without authority to cause an unauthorized change in a predetermined scene that could be vandalized. This act requires an automated real-time detection of the presence of the vandal so that he can be stopped from damaging the property. Human Image recognition process is the best method for detection of vandalism. In this research paper, we propose a deep learning architecture combining Convolutional Neural Networks and Long Short Term memory (CNN-LSTM) which has the ability to exhaust spatial relationship and temporal prediction of the output. The main objective of this research work is to develop, train, test and validate CNN-LSTM against CNN and LSTM models to prove the superiority of the proposed model in image recognition. Image detection is achieved by feeding the images captured by installed image sensors (CCD camera) to a hybrid neural network classifier which is trained to recognize human images. The CNN-LSTM hybrid approach not only improves the predictive accuracy of image recognition from raw data but also reduces the computational complexity. The model is trained and tested with image-Net dataset which is the largest clean image dataset for vision research. Results show that the proposed model is able to achieve a training accuracy of 98% while a standalone CNN achieved 88%. The result show that the hybrid model is superior.","PeriodicalId":170342,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE AFRICON","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131497279","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 scenario has led to an increase in the power consumption of the sector. In order to overcome this problem, stakeholders are striving to come up with ways to minimize this power consumption. In this work, a sleep mode operational strategy which takes the Physical Layer Impairment (PLI) and power loss/attenuation is proposed and an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) formulation is given. An implementation of the approach is carried out using GLPK optimizer and TOTEM toolbox simulation environments and results analyzed taking two Ethio Telecom backbone Optical Transport Network (OTN) segments. These optimizations & simulations help to analyze the impacts on Quality of Service (QoS) of applying this approach in addition to its main goal of power consumption minimization. Results show that a power saving of upto 51% for Addis Ababa backbone OTN and 44% for North-East backbone OTN can be achieved at maximum link utilization thresholds of 70% and 50% respectively. Link utilization constraint is used to ensure network QoS is maintained.","PeriodicalId":170342,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE AFRICON","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125854058","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}
