Unfortunately, project managers are not well-equipped with techniques to estimate such cost overrun. Moreover, incorporating defects removal process as part of the software testing activities has made the project managers overlook this important cost component during their planning processes. This paper suggested a fuzzy model to estimate the cost of defects removal at the early stages of project planning in terms of the project's functional size and the experience of the development team. The suggested model is supposed to enhance the accuracy of the software project cost estimation.","PeriodicalId":227798,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Communication, Control, Computing and Electronics Engineering (ICCCCEE)","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133709045","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 investigate the signal demodulation problems in different types of communication channels. Then, a novel deep belief networks (DBN)-based demodulator is proposed. Since the DBN-based method is just like a black box that can automatically learn how to demodulate the received signals, few manual designs is required in the receiver. Moreover, we also propose a novel mapping method for the communication signals to match the input of DBN. Simulation results with different amounts of training samples and iterations show that the DBN-based demodulator is feasible and efficient.","PeriodicalId":227798,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Communication, Control, Computing and Electronics Engineering (ICCCCEE)","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124789974","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}

It gives some recommendations and precautions for some expected scenarios of wrong operation that might be taken due to some unknown information about the line condition. Also the paper shows that, the compensation of the line should be initially determined to avoid any problem that might be occurred under the abnormal conditions. This paper has illustrated that, series compensation can cause either high or low voltage depending on the loading condition of the line and depending on the setting of the voltage control as well. In case of the voltage is inadequately controlled at one end of the capacitor, the other side voltage may cause problem. To investigate and study the effect of series compensation on the voltage profile, a simple model of long transmission line has been considered, and for simplicity, it has been representing by two pie equivalent model, and the capacitor has been inserted at the middle of the line. SIMULINK / MATLAB has been adopted to simulate the system.","PeriodicalId":227798,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Communication, Control, Computing and Electronics Engineering (ICCCCEE)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127038782","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 many types of features that are derived differently and have good impact on the recognition rate. This paper uses one of the techniques to extract the feature set from a speech signal known as Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients (MFCCs) to represent the signal parametrically for further processing. Speakers provide samples of their voices once in a training session and once in a testing session later. Subsequently, the feature coefficients {MFCCs} are calculated in both phases and the speaker is identified according to the minimum quantization distance which is calculated between the stored features in the training phase and the MFCCs of the speaker who requests to log into the system in the testing phase. The proposed recognition system was designed and implemented using three different algorithms in MATLAB. Simulation and experimental results show that the Joint MFCC-and-vector quantization algorithm achieves better performance compared to the MFCC and FFT algorithms in terms of recognition accuracy and text dependency.","PeriodicalId":227798,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Communication, Control, Computing and Electronics Engineering (ICCCCEE)","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127491151","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 research, we define the similarity measure based on both attributes and values, modify the KNN using it, and apply the modified version into the text segmentation task. We may expect more compact representation of data items and improved performance in the text segmentation task as well as other tasks of text mining.

The idea of this research is to design and developing an odoo platform tool that help the Odoo developers to create an odoo modules in a fast, easy and flixable way. This tool reduces coding significantly; the developer is only insert the names of the database's tables and fields then the module files will be generated automatically. Also the platform provides a community to make communication between Odoo developers other so that they can interact, exchange the knowledge, skills and the experience from each other's. In addition, the platform contains a module repository to control the changes that made by the developer in the modules and get back the changes at any time. The platform also provides help and good documentation that serve as user manual for the developer.
