The components of such a grid are usually remotely monitored and selected components are controlled either manually or through advanced software programs. However, many countries still rely on an Automated Meter Reading (AMR) network. AMR meters periodically report electrical energy consumption information to a centralized location and can also (since they contain batteries) transmit indications of power outage as well as power restoration. We make use of these meters to create a web application that examines and detects faults (blackouts, brownouts and surges) in an electrical grid. This application complements any existing sensor networks and software so that no new equipment needs to be implemented.","PeriodicalId":247287,"journal":{"name":"2016 6th International Conference on Intelligent and Advanced Systems (ICIAS)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130586752","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}

Then, the morphology features, the regression coefficients and the original spectral features are fused together to form the final feature vector for classification.

One important factor is the timely detection of congestion that significantly improves the performance of the network. Currently most of the solutions either try to periodically/continuously examine the residual buffer space of the node or monitor the link utilisation. These types of solutions either consume high energy and processing or increase the link utilisation for the control packets that leads to the performance degradation of the network. To address this problem, a novel node/link level congestion detection approach (NLCA) has been proposed to timely detect congestion with the minimal processing overhead. The node-level congestion is detected by using the traditional mechanism of examining the buffer utilisation. However, the link-level congestion is detected by using a novel procedure that examines the wireless link utilisation with the counter maintained in CSMA/CA back-off stage. The instantaneous throughput based on the simulation analysis performed in ns-2.35 shows that NLCA can be used to timely detect congestion in the network.","PeriodicalId":247287,"journal":{"name":"2016 6th International Conference on Intelligent and Advanced Systems (ICIAS)","volume":"300 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114950335","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}

To solve this problem, a novel Congestion Alleviation Procedure (CAP) has been proposed. It exploits the characteristics of the sensor nodes and the wireless links between them. CAP mitigates congestion reactively by either bypassing the affected node and wireless link or rerouting the traffic to a less congested and energy efficient route. The performance evaluation based on the simulation performed in the network simulator (ns-2.35) shows that CAP improves Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) by 45%, throughput by 39%, ETE delay by 32%, and energy consumption per data packet by 47% as compared to No Congestion Control (NOCC) mechanism.","PeriodicalId":247287,"journal":{"name":"2016 6th International Conference on Intelligent and Advanced Systems (ICIAS)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134338948","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 will present the rehearsal effects based on electroencephalography (EEG) recorded data for multimedia contents. Three frequency based features are used to discriminate the three learning states mentioned as L1, L2 and L3 using machine learning algorithms. From these three learning states, L1 is the first learning state whether L2 and L3 are the rehearsal states of L1. The set of spectral features that are used for analysis are based on the intensity weighted mean frequency (IWMF), its bandwidth (IWBW), and spectral power density (PSD). For the analysis, the three brain waves investigated are the alpha waves, theta waves and delta waves. The results of the study show that the alpha waves produce de-synchronization from rest to learning state as compared to other EEG recorded waves. This de-synchronization lead to mental effort imposed by working memory during a learning task. The Alpha wave shows more accuracy in L1 using SVM classifier that is 85% using PSD features, 86% for IWFM and 78.4% using IBWB feature. The results also mention that L3 produces less classifier accuracy value as compared to the L2 and L1 for each of three extracted features. This indicates that L3 requires less mental effort during learning. The findings proved the rehearsal as a good phenomenon of long-term memorized learning.","PeriodicalId":247287,"journal":{"name":"2016 6th International Conference on Intelligent and Advanced Systems (ICIAS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129810403","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 main idea of the design is based on minimizing the steady-state error to reach the limit dictated by the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) of the implicit estimation process. By using the proposed method, optimum error nonlinearity is devised for long adaptive filters without employing any assumption on the distribution input regressor constituents and on the noise distribution, independence input regressor assumption and any kind of linearization. Moreover, to implement the proposed design, two different methods for estimating the variance of a priori estimation error are developed. Furthermore, an intelligent switching mechanism is also introduced to efficiently utilize the designed optimum error non-linearity for the impulsive noise. The theoretical results are testify through simulations, to show the superiority of the designed optimum error nonlinearity.","PeriodicalId":247287,"journal":{"name":"2016 6th International Conference on Intelligent and Advanced Systems (ICIAS)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116825953","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 system can be actuated by a short duration pulse in a fixed interval of time. The system is discretized for complete actuation cycle to get an equivalent discrete-time model of the continuous-time system. The equivalent model is developed by considering a complete actuation cycle as a single discrete step. The continuous-time system is fully actuated in this interval and unactuated otherwise. The state feedback control law is designed on the basis of fully actuated, time invariant exact discrete-time equivalent model of the continuous-time system.
