Developing intelligent vehicles alongside standardizing inter-vehicle communications promises that this technology will be a part of future life. In this research, we propose a method in which clustering is used to gather vehicles' movements information in a vehicle ad-hoc network. This method is based on extending green wave using road-side units as a fixed agent and on board units (OBU) in vehicles as a mobile agent. This information is then transmitted to traffic lights for decision making. This algorithm evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation. The simulation results show this method has a positive effect on reducing the average waiting time and overall stop of the vehicles behind the traffic lights.","PeriodicalId":338953,"journal":{"name":"2015 7th Conference on Information and Knowledge Technology (IKT)","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122522553","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 spectral clustering divides an image into nonoverlapped groups such that the intragroup similarity is high and the intergroup similarity is low as much as possible. This method includes solving the eigenvalue problem for the normalized similarity matrix, of size n × n, where n is the number of pixels. On the other hand, Gabor filter is used for texture feature extraction. A texture feature vector for each pixel of the image is formed corresponding to the texture edge energy at different directions with Gabor filter. The K-means clustering is applied on the texture feature vectors of all pixel of the input image. Finally, to integrate the results of spectral clustering and Gabor feature clustering, a cluster ensemble approach is applied and PolSAR image segmentation is performed. The experimental results indicate the effect of proposed method on PolSAR image segmentation.","PeriodicalId":338953,"journal":{"name":"2015 7th Conference on Information and Knowledge Technology (IKT)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133869481","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}

Schedulers today establish a SLA between two participants to meet the considered QoS. SLA-based job scheduling and resource allocation are based on the concept of agreement between supplier and consumer. In addition, heuristic techniques can help the scheduler to select the best SLA. Therefore, this paper presents a resource scheduling approach called HPESA, Heuristic and Priority based Economic Scheduling Approach, to improve SLA-based job scheduling in economic Grid. The main purpose of this study is the evaluation of some simple heuristics to enhance the performance, utilization, and the total earnings of the resources as well as to reduce the average response time, average budget spent and the number of messages exchanged. This article also intends to enhance SLA-based contract negotiation between supplier and consumer and job migration conditions. Our simulations on GridSim toolkit explain the usefulness of this approach in providing QoS to the users and its impact on scheduling in economic Grid.","PeriodicalId":338953,"journal":{"name":"2015 7th Conference on Information and Knowledge Technology (IKT)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114987817","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 best solution is a team with the minimized communication cost within team members. A social network is modeled as a graph, in which nodes represent experts and an edge between two nodes shows a prior collaboration of the two experts.

The proposed classification scheme consists of three steps. In the first step, in order to achieve discrete features, the size of the first four packets of each flow is discretized based on an entropy-based algorithm. In the next step, three classifiers including K-NN, SVM and Naive Bayes are employed to determine the label of unknown flows. In the last step, the outputs of three classifiers are combined using four combiner schemes including Dynamic Classifier Selection by Local Accuracy (DCS-LA), Naive Bayes (NB), Majority Voting (MV) and Oracle in order to make final decision on the label of unknown flows and achieve the highest possible accuracy. We conduct experiments on a dataset including only 50 training flow per application to evaluate the effectiveness of our classification scheme. The results indicate that our proposed internet traffic classification scheme is able to achieve a high level of accuracy.","PeriodicalId":338953,"journal":{"name":"2015 7th Conference on Information and Knowledge Technology (IKT)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127934663","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 back propagation neural network can fall into a local minimum point during learning of training patterns. Therefore, evolutionary algorithms can be used to train this neural network to obtain suitable initial weight set. In this paper, a novel approach is proposed to train the back propagation neural network based on asexual reproduction optimization (ARO) algorithm. The basic idea of the proposed method is to apply ARO algorithm at the first step to search for the global initial connection weights. Then, the back propagation algorithm is used to thoroughly search for the optimal weight set. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated using a number of problems. Experimental results show that the proposed method is better than the genetic and back propagation algorithms in convergent speed and convergent accuracy.","PeriodicalId":338953,"journal":{"name":"2015 7th Conference on Information and Knowledge Technology (IKT)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131521758","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}
