The biological immune system can detect and defend the human body against different kinds of intruders. These systems are distributed, adaptive and multilayered in nature, and the proposed artificial immune system incorporates these powerful and diverse set of characteristics in designing a network security system. Recent advances in biological immune systems showed that the innate part of the system plays a greater role than previously thought. In this paper, this recent development is the corner stone of the new multi-layer model of artificial immune systems. We describe a work in progress to construct a multi-layered defense system composed of two main layers, innate and adaptive layers. This paper describes the multi-layered system layers and components, gives a detailed justification and design considerations of the system components, and shows first results from the innate layer of the system. The preliminary results show that about 70% of the traffic can be dealt with before entering the adaptive layer of the immune system.","PeriodicalId":256793,"journal":{"name":"2013 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING, ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (ICCEEE)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115463061","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 process is essential as it represents the first phase for a complete multilingual-enabled speech processing applications. However, most efforts are focused on European languages and the research is relatively few for other languages such as Arabic. This is mainly due to the lack of tools and resources, e.g., Arabic speech corpora. Furthermore, the majority of the proposed approaches for Arabic detection are language-dependent rather than independent ones, in which the model uses only acoustic properties of speech signal. This paper describes an ongoing research to develop a language independent Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) detector, which is a binary Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifier that is based on speech acoustic features. In that context, the classifier is used to classify speech utterance into either classA, which represents the Arabic language or classNA to denote non-Arabic languages. As most currently available speech corpora are license restricted and their languages are selected based on population or geographical distribution, a new multilingual speech corpus with six languages is being created. Languages in this created corpus have some sort of similarity with MSA, e.g., Arabic and Hebrew. This property adds another dimension of complexity to the classification task, but it is essential as one of the major goal of this research is to measure whether the efficiency of the MSA model will be preserved on the same level when tested with other languages that have some sort of relationship with the MSA or other Arabic dialect. This will be referred to in this paper as stability-against-similarity of the model.","PeriodicalId":256793,"journal":{"name":"2013 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING, ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (ICCEEE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130610312","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}

Tactile object recognition plays a major role in several HCI applications especially scientific visualization for the visually impaired. A tactile display based on a pantograph mechanism and 2×2 vibrotactile unit array was used to represent haptic virtual objects. Two experiments were carried out to evaluate the efficiency and reliability of this novel method. The first experiment studied how the combined texture and pressure cues improves the haptic interaction compared to using pressure cues only. The second experiment examined users' capability to track and recognize objects with two dimensional shapes using this method. Results obtained indicate an improvement in boundary recognition and tracking accuracy by the combined stimulation over the sole pressure stimulation. Results also demonstrate the capability of users to readily define shapes for most of the virtually represented objects.","PeriodicalId":256793,"journal":{"name":"2013 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING, ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (ICCEEE)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128170394","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}

However information on the practical usage of XP in large-scale systems is still considered limited. We try to gain better understanding of the impact of using XP process to the development effort of large-scale distributed systems while taking Sudan Automated Traffic Violations Project as a case study.

The dataset used is available on BCI competition IV that contains EEG signals for 9 subjects who performed left hand, right hand, foot and tongue motor imageries (MI). The ICA technique appears well suited for performing source separation in domains where the number of independent signal sources is equal to the number of electrodes or sensors, which is not applicable in the case of EEG sources, since we have no idea about the effective number of statistically independent brain signals related to the EEG recorded from the scalp, also we proved that right hand can activate the same areas of left hand in the brain, while foot can activate the same areas of hands and tongue. Thus we did not have high expectations for separating the same signal sources in all sessions and this justify the overall accuracy of 33±2% that we got when using the combination of ICA and SVM techniques.","PeriodicalId":256793,"journal":{"name":"2013 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING, ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (ICCEEE)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132053767","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 most important criteria that could affect the academic advising process are discussed. Accordingly a separate rating table of each alternative and separate weight table of each criterion are described by linguistic terms and expressed by triangular fuzzy numbers. According to the concept of TOPSIS, the closeness coefficients has been calculated to determine the best alternative that could minimize the risk by calculating the distance to both the fuzzy positive ideal solution (FPIS) and the fuzzy negative ideal solution (FNIS) at the same time. Finally, a real case study is shown to highlight the proposed fuzzy system for ranking different alternatives decisions in academic advising activity.","PeriodicalId":256793,"journal":{"name":"2013 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING, ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (ICCEEE)","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133997367","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}
