The proposed technique is based on the following computational methods expectation maximisation - maximise of the posterior marginal algorithm (EM-MPM) for segmenting the thyroid region, grey-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) for feature extraction and support vector machine (SVM) for classifying abnormalities. The experiment was carried out of 40 thermal images of which ten were normal and 30 abnormal (hyper and hypo) from real human thyroid region thermal image. The accuracy of proposed system is 97.5% which is significantly good. As a result domain user are able to analyses the prediction given by the proposed system for decision support tool.","PeriodicalId":346646,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Comput. Aided Eng.

Applying medical image techniques could help in identifying and classifying the abnormalities present in the breast. The features which are extracted from medical images can also be given as input to the classifier for classification. Mammogram has been given as input to the proposed system. Mammograms are pre-processed before given to the classifier. The features are extracted through GLCM and then decision tree classifier is used in this paper for classifying the breast abnormality as benign and malignant.","PeriodicalId":346646,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Three different types of thin film hard carbon coatings on the articulating surfaces of the bearing components (e.g., on both head and cup) are considered and they are nanocrystalline diamond (NCD), diamond-like carbon (DLC) and polycrystalline diamond (PCD). By considering the 3D angular rotation as well as gait loading for a normal walking cycle, linear and volumetric wears are computed for 20 million cycles. The FE wear model results were validated with experimental hip simulator study available in the literature. FE simulation results showed that as wear progresses, contact stress at the interface between the head and cup decreases with the increase of gait cycles. Wear modelling indicated that PCD coated bearing couple had the least wear evolution as compared to NCD and DLC coated couples.","PeriodicalId":346646,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Comput. Aided Eng.

This testbed consists of research and education networks of several countries including South Korea, Japan, and the USA. Since, it is a large multi-tenant testbed, it is not possible for the traditional traffic monitoring solutions to provide network-wide visibility. Therefore, we have implemented a new sFlow-based monitoring system that is not only tailored to the requirements of this testbed, but can also provide real-time network-wide visibility. It is carried out by deploying open-source host sFlow agents with a graphite collector which offers a complete, highly scalable monitoring solution. It periodically fetches and other statistics from sFlow agents, and stores them in time-series format. These statistics are then exported to the disaster management server where they are used for further analysis.","PeriodicalId":346646,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Comput. Aided Eng.

But, its techniques and tools are very limited to solve the energy aware real time data handling problems. The real time data handling can be in one of the two computing areas: 1) batch computing; 2) stream computing. Stream computing environment uses round robin algorithm as default scheduling strategy whereas batch process uses distributed scheduling for allocation of its resources. But these computing are not considered proper energy aware distributed scheduling policies for allocation of its resources. This paper presents development of management policies that reduces the energy for the allocation of resources. The big data fusion has been used to improve the efficiency for handing different data types: Batch data, online data, and real-time data. A hybrid computational model has been applied to improve the performance further through Lambda architecture. Finally, experimental results have shown 20% performance improvement.","PeriodicalId":346646,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Comput. Aided Eng.

This DSS network will facilitate interaction, discussion, and the sharing of information among production operators, especially to deal with nominal situations of resource faults. The coordination among the agents in our approach is made possible by a dynamic agent coordination protocol. The general architecture is based on agents named: production agent (PA), ontology agent (OA), evaluator agent (EA), and coordinator agent (COA). The coordination protocol that is applied comprised a set of behaviours used to maintain and control the messages exchanges among the agents. Learning features enable these agents to gain more time in calculation and executions. As a representation of the agent's common knowledge, domain ontology has been developed to represent major generic concepts in the industrial domain. Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) methodology is applied to evaluate sorting solutions in respect of human participants' preferences.

But these methods are expensive and provide low resolution sensing data. Also the monitoring system has high communication overhead, power consuming and time. To solve the above problem a clustered wireless sensor network-based air pollution monitoring system with swarm intelligence is discussed. Initially, the sensor nodes in the networks are grouped into clusters and the cluster head is selected using the glowworm swarm optimisation (GSO) algorithm and Cuckoo search algorithm (CSA). Then the air quality index (AQI)-based fuzzy rule is formed using fuzzy inference system (FIS). Then the data aggregation is using the improved artificial fish swarm algorithm (IAFSA) and hybrid bat algorithm (HBA) to find the optimal path for efficient data transmission by reducing the communication overhead. The bat fitness function is calculated using differential evolution (DE). The result shows that the proposed method is improved than the obtainable one in stipulations of network energy utilisation, delay and throughput and aggregation latency.","PeriodicalId":346646,"journal":{"name":"Int.

The performance of these techniques was evaluated using mean square error (MSE) and peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR). Ten features were extracted from the pre-processed leaf images and identification performance was also evaluated using precision and recall.
