Firstly, the impact of dynamic high impedance and resistive non-linear loads in the static voltage stability of the system has been studied and the effects of complex load behaviour on system dynamical performance is presented through a system stability analysis for three network structures. A VAR planning method is proposed where active and reactive loadability (P-Q) is considered to analyse the vulnerability of the network to voltage collapse and system inefficiency. Compensating devices are placed considering P-Q loadability to improve system voltage profile and stability limit. Finally, a cost-effective combination of BESS and capacitor bank is determined through static and dynamic analysis to ensure voltage stability of the network. The results show that the proposed approach can reduce the required sizes of compensating devices which reduces costs, enhances the voltage regulation of the system and minimizes power losses.","PeriodicalId":215519,"journal":{"name":"2017 4th Asia-Pacific World Congress on Computer Science and Engineering (APWC on CSE)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133877245","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 different problem decomposition methods applied at particular area of a network can share its strengths to solve the problem better, which forms the major motivation. In this paper, we are proposing a combination utilization of two hybrid problem decomposition method for Elman recurrent neural networks and applied to time series prediction. The results reveal that the proposed method has got better results in some datasets when compared to its standalone methods.

The data required for decision making will not be stored in one or even a few locations; it will not be just one or even a few types and formats; and it will not be amenable to analysis by just one or a few analytics. As the demands of Big Data exceed the constraints of traditional relational databases, evaluating legacy data and assessing new technology has become a necessity for most organisations, not only to gain competitive advantage, but also for compliance purposes. A major challenge is managing the organisation's legacy systems and data to support decision making. How to handle legacy systems and data is too often an afterthought and can have a significant impact on the organisation’s ability to make decisions. At present organisations are mainly analysing internal data - sales, inventory, and shipments using ERP data. Organisations require analysing external data to gain new insights into customers, demands, needs, markets, supply chain and its operations. Big Data represents a fundamental shift in business decision making. There are many factors to consider when dealing with legacy systems and data as part of Big Data. In this paper we discuss the state of the art and issues and problems of how legacy systems and data are integrated with Big Data to support decision making. Our paper gives an overview of some of the business analytics that support business decision making, as well as some of the data management practices needed for success.","PeriodicalId":215519,"journal":{"name":"2017 4th Asia-Pacific World Congress on Computer Science and Engineering (APWC on CSE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128887950","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}

Therefore, not only receiver nodes but also eavesdropper nodes can receive data packets from sender nodes. In this paper, we propose a method for preventing eavesdropping in wireless networks. In the proposed method, some nodes neighboring sender nodes transmit jamming signals to reduce the area in which data packets from sender nodes can be received while still allowing receiver nodes to receive data packets. Jamming nodes are selected in a heuristic manner. Simulation evaluations using comparative methods confirm that performance of the proposed method exceeds that of an alternative method.","PeriodicalId":215519,"journal":{"name":"2017 4th Asia-Pacific World Congress on Computer Science and Engineering (APWC on CSE)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123761855","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}

There are several types of natural disasters including earthquake and tsunami. Historical data has showed that, nearly 60% of tsunamis had taken place in the Pacific Ocean. It is important to alert or warn Pacific Island Communities, especially along the coastal areas, imminent danger of earthquake and tsunami in real time. In this paper, we propose a real time alert system, focusing on tsunamis that are caused by earthquakes. With advanced mobile technologies and devices, our alert system not only can provide underserved populations access to real time information, but also has the potential to increase social awareness for sharing information in the communities by using local content to serve local needs. In addition, the alert system has the potential to improve social behavior of our Pacific Island Communities of being more alert and well-educated in dealing with imminent dangers of earthquakes and tsunamis.","PeriodicalId":215519,"journal":{"name":"2017 4th Asia-Pacific World Congress on Computer Science and Engineering (APWC on CSE)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131650585","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 time evolution of the sales data trend reflects customer purchase behavior, and shows a characteristic variation for each brand. We show that the proposed model can better explain the dynamic change of sales by comparison with a regression model. We compare the benchmark and proposed models based on variance, fitness, and prediction accuracy.

Domestic Violence and Abuse is at the root of so many issues in society and considered as the societal tabooed topic. Fortunately, with the popularity of social media, social welfare communities and victim support groups facilitate the victims to share their abusive stories and allow others to give advice and help victims. Hence, in order to offer the immediate resources for those needs, the specific messages from the victims need to be alarmed from other messages. In this paper, we regard intention mining as a binary classification problem (abuse or advice) with the usecase of abuse discourse. To address this problem, we extract rich feature sets from the raw corpus, using psycholinguistic clues and textual features by term-class interaction method. Machine learning algorithms are used to predict the accuracy of the classifiers between two different feature sets. Our experimental results with high classification accuracy give a promising solution to understand a big social problem through big social media and its use in serving information needs of various community welfare organizations.","PeriodicalId":215519,"journal":{"name":"2017 4th Asia-Pacific World Congress on Computer Science and Engineering (APWC on CSE)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114858861","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 khatai samples were allowed to dry both in the solar plenum and cabinet dryer of the solar-biomass hybrid dryer until consistent mass readings were obtained. The moisture content ratio was determined from the mass of the dried khatai and the temperature readings of the air in the solar-biomass hybrid dryer on hourly basis. The moisture content ratios with the drying times for the plenum-biomass and plenum data were mathematically modeled with seven different models. A regression analysis was carried out to determine the coefficient of determination (r) for selecting the best model that describes the drying of mango khatai in the solar biomass hybrid dryer. The best model describing the drying characteristics of the mango khatai is the one where the coefficient of determination (r) is closer to 1. Newton’s model was best suited for describing the drying in the plenum whilst Henderson-Pabis model was well adopted for plenum-biomass drying. Plenum-biomass drying is a more suitable drying option for mango khatai as shorter drying time is needed.","PeriodicalId":215519,"journal":{"name":"2017 4th Asia-Pacific World Congress on Computer Science and Engineering (APWC on CSE)","volume":"94 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115833583","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}
