In many incidents of spinal cord damage due to car accident, the functionality of hands is disturbed while the hand muscles are intact and healthy. In another words, hands don't receive proper motion signals from brain. In this study a nonlinear controller is developed to produce a replacement motion signal for the missed original signal. Derived equations are forced to satisfy the gravity forces and the arm's six muscles performance. This model is designed to satisfy the main two goals of “regulation” and “tracking” and at the same time reduce the “chattering” of the system.","PeriodicalId":265345,"journal":{"name":"2017 7th International Conference on Modeling, Simulation, and Applied Optimization (ICMSAO)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129196617","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}

Smart cities rely on deploying different technologies and optimization techniques to improve the performance and services in transportation, energy, security, and other sectors and to reduce the costs and resources consumption. One of the promising technologies supporting smart city applications is the Cloud of Things (CoT). The CoT can provide a powerful platform for implementing and operating different types of smart city services. Another promising technology that can be used to support and in various cases enhance the CoT for smart cities is Fog Computing. Fog computing can provide platforms that operate geographically close to certain smart city areas to provide value-added features for smart city services. This paper discusses optimization applications and opportunities of using the CoT, supported by fog computing, for providing smart city services. We attempt to identify the requirements for implementing such services, and recognize the issues and challenges to be resolved to achieve better utilization of the CoT in optimizing smart city services.","PeriodicalId":265345,"journal":{"name":"2017 7th International Conference on Modeling, Simulation, and Applied Optimization (ICMSAO)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131388162","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}

Several structural responses are used as criteria to quantify their influence on the SPSW behavior. The evaluated structural responses are: yield strength, yield displacement, ultimate strength, initial stiffness and secondary stiffness. The results show that, overall the most influential parameter is the infill plate thickness followed by the beam size.

Steganography is a field that secures sensitive information by hiding it inside media files (such as images). What makes the concept of steganography powerful is that the secret message is hidden cleverly within the media file and thus carried around invisibly. Our paper proposed an automated method to secure a message using two levels of security. In the first level, the data is encrypted by our encryption method developed in Java and named Character Bit Shuffler (CBS). Then in the second level, the encrypted data is hidden inside an image using the Least Significant Bit (LSB) technique that changes only the last bits of the image pixels. The advantage of the LSB method is that it is simple as well as it maintains the quality of the image. A 1-1-0 LSB scheme will be used on 32-bit images in this paper. Experimental results that measure the image quality of our proposed approach are presented at the end of the paper.","PeriodicalId":265345,"journal":{"name":"2017 7th International Conference on Modeling, Simulation, and Applied Optimization (ICMSAO)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122557929","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}

Fault detection is the identification of normal healthy behavior of a system or process and recognition of any deviation from such normal behavior. Fault detection in structural systems provides important liability and financial advantages since it gives the decision-makers lead-time and flexibility to manage the health of the system. Structural systems are critical systems that require continuous monitoring of damage accumulation caused by earthquake loads that may cause catastrophic failures. We present in this research a data-driven methodology for fault detection of structural systems using multivariate statistical process control (MVSPC). The proposed method based on modeling overall structural damage using artificial neural networks (ANN) as a function of the earthquake load intensity. Hotelling T2 technique is then used to identify any shifts of the ANN model weights from their healthy states. The proposed method is tested and validated using simulation data fora four-story RC building with varying concrete strengths. The methodology presented in this paper is scalable and can be applied to a wide range of systems to assess their health via an inspection check to anticipate and potentially avoid failures.","PeriodicalId":265345,"journal":{"name":"2017 7th International Conference on Modeling, Simulation, and Applied Optimization (ICMSAO)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131796860","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}
