Back-propagation (BP) is one of the candidate algorithms to train ANN. Due to the way of BP to find the solution for the underlying problem, there is an important drawback of it, namely the stuck in local minima rather than the global one. Recent studies introduce meta-heuristic techniques to train ANN. The current work proposes a framework in which grey wolf optimizer (GWO) provides the initial solution to a BP ANN. Five datasets are used to benchmark GWO BP performance with other competitors. The first competitor is an optimized BP ANN based on genetic algorithm. The second is a BP ANN powered by particle swarm optimizer. The third is the BP algorithm itself and lastly a feedforward ANN enhanced by GWO. The carried experiments show that GWOBP outperforms the compared algorithms.","PeriodicalId":332360,"journal":{"name":"2016 12th International Computer Engineering Conference (ICENCO)","volume":"154 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115262206","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}

One of its primary applications is environmental monitoring for physical phenomena in rigid areas such as forests and volcanoes. In such applications, a large number of sensors are randomly scattered by aircraft over the area of monitoring. These applications mainly depend on clustering to arrange nodes into groups to facilitate their communication. Previously proposed clustering techniques are classified into two types, which are distributed or centralized techniques. Each of these types has advantages as well as some flaws. In this paper, we propose a globally distributed clustering technique. This technique depends on some global information about the network to allow each node to decide its role in the produced clusters locally. This information is assumed to be known by default by the BS for any communication or topological control activities. Simulation results show that the proposed technique achieves less power consumption and therefore longer network lifetime when compared with other clustering techniques.","PeriodicalId":332360,"journal":{"name":"2016 12th International Computer Engineering Conference (ICENCO)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114282842","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 the first function, the Euclidian pixel-to-cluster distances are computed using the original data. However, in the second one, they are computed by replacing the original data by locally smoothed one to reduce additive noise. Both distances are also modified to account for the distances in the pixel neighborhood. In both functions, to incorporate the local membership information, the resultant pixel-to-cluster distance is weighted by the reciprocal of the average of the membership to this cluster in the pixel vicinity. Results clustering synthetic and medical images are presented.

In fact, clustering scheme and cooperative spectrum sensing are combined to reduce Jostle of reporting channel, improve performance of sensing and reduce the computational cost. Many methods of cooperative spectrum sensing have been proposed based on clustering technique. In this paper, proposed approach will be suggested based on clustering to minimize the total power consumed by CRN in order to perform spectrum sensing, transmit decision to cluster head, and transmit the final decision to the fusion center. This is done by using multi objective genetic algorithm. Simulation results show that our proposed algorithm can achieve better energy gain which is less than conventional cluster based cooperative spectrum sensing scheme. Moreover, it increases performance of CRN.","PeriodicalId":332360,"journal":{"name":"2016 12th International Computer Engineering Conference (ICENCO)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127978050","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}

Day after day feature modeling has proved its ability to represent and manage requirements of SPLs in different domains. In addition, FM could also be extended and modified to support the nature of various domains. In this paper, we extend the FM to provide a technique for representing functional requirements of a SPL for an ERP. This technique takes the advantages of the hierarchical structure of ERP systems and merges them with the FM. The modeled requirements on the FM will be transformed into a conceptual model, to increase the stakeholders' involvement in the requirements engineering process.

Hence, recognizing the identities of fake profiles is one of the critical security problems in OSNs. In this paper, we proposed a detection mechanism called Fake Profiles Recognizer (FPR) for recognizing and detecting Fake Profiles in OSNs. The detection methodology in FPR is based on the functionality of Regular Expression and Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA) approaches for recognizing the identity of profiles. We evaluated our detection system on three popular types of Online Social Networks: Facebook, Google+, and Twitter. The results explored high accuracy, efficiency, and low False Positive Rate of FPR mechanism in detecting the identities of Fake Profiles.

This paper presents a novel algorithm for real-time automatic multi-style license plate detection in videos. The proposed algorithm can detect in a real time multiple license plates with various sizes in unfamiliar and complex environment. In this system, candidate plate regions are extracted using a preprocessing function to increase accuracy while decreasing computational time. Then a tree of LBP-based cascade classifiers is used to classify the candidate plate regions into one of the learned style. The proposed approach has been applied to Egyptian license plates with four different plate styles.
