In this work, we propose an enhancement of our previous technique by exploiting the bit distribution of images. Using a simple statistical test, we first decide if it will be gainful to split a 16-bit microarray image into two 8-bit images. In case of splitting, it turns out that the first 8-bit image is highly compressible and we use BWIC to compress it. The second 8-bit image most often contains noise and the bit distribution can become nearly random. We use the Wald-Wolfowitz runs test of randomness to decide whether to compress the second 8-bit image with BWIC or not at all since attempting to compress random data usually results in a larger file size. On select microarray images, by splitting a 16-bit microarray image into 8-bit pieces and selectively compressing the pieces with BWIC, we can achieve upward of 3% compression gain over our previous work.","PeriodicalId":334264,"journal":{"name":"2017 14th International Conference on Smart Cities: Improving Quality of Life Using ICT & IoT (HONET-ICT)","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128871121","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}

Achieving such benefits requires the careful selection of DGs locations and size. In this paper, a method based on a novel analytical approach for optimal allocation (sizing and siting) of DGs with the aim of reducing the total real power loss subject to specific assigned constraints in the radial distribution network is introduced. A computational method has been utilized to identify the optimal candidate locations for DGs, where the optimal sizes of DG units at the identified locations are evaluated by optimizing the loss saving equations, as well as the voltage drop on feeder. The proposed method has been tested and validated on a radial feeder in the Bethlehem district in the Jerusalem Distribution Electricity Company (JDECO) concession area. The test system consists of seven nodes and eleven 0.4 KV-buses and feeds five household loads. It has been found that a significant loss saving, as well as voltage profile improvement can be obtained by the appropriate selection of size and location of the DG units within the tested system using the proposed analytical method. The design has been simulated and verified using the NEPLAN simulator.","PeriodicalId":334264,"journal":{"name":"2017 14th International Conference on Smart Cities: Improving Quality of Life Using ICT & IoT (HONET-ICT)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117152738","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 research proposes Probability based Factor Model (PFM) that can be implemented over the blockchain to automatically identify breaches that can cause substantial damage and have high probability for recurrence. PFM can also issue court injunctions for the breaches. The underlying concept in PFM is built upon the notion of factor analysis and stochastic modeling from the discipline of Data Science. High performance computing (HPC) cluster at University of Luxembourg (HPC @ Uni.lu) and docker (a software container platform) were used to emulate contractual environment of three service providers: Redis, MongoDB, and Memcached Servers. The results showed that court injunction(s) was issued only for Redis and MongoDB Servers. Technically, this difference could be attributed to the fact that Memcached is simply used for caching and therefore, it is less prone to breach of contract. Whereas, Redis and MongoDB as databases and message brokers are performing more complex operations and are more likely to cause a breach. This research will benefit enterprises that view breach of contract as a limiting factor for implementation of smart contract in cyber-physical system or internet of things.","PeriodicalId":334264,"journal":{"name":"2017 14th International Conference on Smart Cities: Improving Quality of Life Using ICT & IoT (HONET-ICT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131660280","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}

Putting the intuitive method under the spot reveals a lot of its weaknesses regarding the over or under design results. However, many methods and algorithms were proposed to overcome the drawbacks of the intuitive method. Throughout this paper, we will introduce an algorithm to find the optimal design in terms of size of PV panels and battery block. The new method is mainly based on numerical basis and deals with hourly data of global radiation, demand load and ambient temperature. The proposed method has proved, as demonstrated next, its effectiveness to have results much better than the intuitive one. Such results enable the system to be either less cost system or more suitable and stable one in terms of deficit power. It has proved also the accurate prediction of the system's performance that is hourly performance of system attitude. To utilize the proposed method for stand-alone systems sizing, the method was fostered by Graphical User Interface. Which enables others to use it in order to get more effective results than intuitive method.","PeriodicalId":334264,"journal":{"name":"2017 14th International Conference on Smart Cities: Improving Quality of Life Using ICT & IoT (HONET-ICT)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123531167","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 ever evolving integrated circuits (ICs) manufacturing techniques have made SER even more difficult by increasing the complexity of these ICs to a whole new level. This increase in complexity of ICs has not only increased the number of pins in an IC but has also reduced the size of the package making SER in PCBs a very hectic task. The SER problem has not been addressed by many studies in the literature and mostly, heuristic algorithms have been proposed in order to solve SER problem which fail to achieve 100 percent route-ability. In this work, we employed network flow approach to solve the SER problem using optimization modeling technique. We propose two optimal algorithms that use integer linear program for testing different sizes of grids to check their efficiency. The analysis and results show the improved efficiency of the proposed algorithms in terms of route-ability, time consumption, independence from grid topology & component pin arrangement.","PeriodicalId":334264,"journal":{"name":"2017 14th International Conference on Smart Cities: Improving Quality of Life Using ICT & IoT (HONET-ICT)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133942549","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}
