It can cause changes in epileptic patient's behavior, developments or emotions, and in levels of consciousness. The rapid predictions of epileptic seizures help the epileptic patient to avoid tremendously complications like falling, drowning, accidents and pregnancy complications. Generally, seizure detection is performed in two main sequential stages; feature extraction stage and classification stage. In this paper, new algorithm is proposed to detect the seizure through a short period only 10 seconds. Eleven features are extracted from EEG signal to characterize behavior of EEG activities. These features are fed to five classifiers. These classifiers are SVM, KNN, decision tree, logistic regression, and ensemble. The results show that SVM is the best classifier for detecting the incidence of the seizure with high accuracy and sensitivity.","PeriodicalId":351812,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Japan-Africa Conference on Electronics, Communications, and Computations, (JAC-ECC)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116932213","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 majority of the recent studies were dedicated to solving the delay issue by leveraging the edge computing concept while other studies directed its efforts towards realizing a green cloud by minimizing the energy consumption in the cloud. Multi-access edge computing (MEC) emerged in the past decade as a promising solution for the determined millisecond-scale latency in 5 G networks. In this paper, we present an active queue management-based green cloud model (AGCM), an energy-efficient cloud model to reduce energy waste at both the cloud and mobile devices and the latency by relieving the congestion in the cloud. We also propose a hand-off strategy with MEC to acquire the potential gain and investigate its impact on the cloud's fundamental constraints. We tested our proposed models with simulation showing considerable improvement for the latency, energy consumption, and throughput.","PeriodicalId":351812,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Japan-Africa Conference on Electronics, Communications, and Computations, (JAC-ECC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130456638","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}

Recent studies have shown that several health hazards are related to sedentary behaviors. Specifically, too much sitting is adversely associated with health outcomes, of which includes cardio-metabolic risk biomarkers, type 2 diabetes and premature mortality. In this paper a one dimensional(1D) convolutional neural network based sedentary activity classification model is proposed for classification of sit, stand and sit-stand transitions using sensor data fusion collected with a tri-axial Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor. Specifically, normalized data from the IMU axes within a specific time window were considered to classify sedentary behaviors (sit, stand and sit-stand transition). The precision of the classification of the three studied sedentary behaviors exceeded 96.8% using IMU data fusion. The applicability of the proposed classification model is extended to a simulated condition of a typical freelancer by modeling an adaptable automated workspace.","PeriodicalId":351812,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Japan-Africa Conference on Electronics, Communications, and Computations, (JAC-ECC)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133196909","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}
