These failures can lead to job failure execution that may cause performance deterioration and resource waste. Most studies have focused mainly on failure analysis and characterization while there is limited research has been done on failure prediction. In this paper, the overall aim is to develop a failure prediction framework that can early detect failed jobs, and the real advantages of this framework are to decrease the resources waste and to increase the performance of cloud applications. Our failure analysis and prediction are based on Google cluster traces. We have developed a failure prediction model for job failure execution based on applying different machine learning algorithms and selecting the best accurate model. Moreover, we evaluate the model performance using different types of evaluation metrics to ensure that the proposed prediction model provides the highest accuracy of predicted values. Finally, we apply different feature selection techniques to improve the accuracy of our proposed model. Our evaluation results show that our model has achieved a high rate of precision, recall, and f1-score.","PeriodicalId":352754,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 10th GCC Conference & Exhibition (GCC)","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133857158","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 demand for robust algorithms over the recent years has brought huge success in the field of Deep Learning (DL) in solving many difficult tasks in image, speech and natural language processing by automating the manual process of architecture design. This has been fueled through the development of new DL architectures. Yet genomics possesses unique challenges as we expect DL to provide a super human intelligence that easily interprets a human genome. In this paper, the state-of-the art DL approach based on differential search mechanism was adapted for interpretation of biological sequences. This method has been applied on the splice site recognition task on raw DNA sequences to discover high-performance convolutional architectures by automated engineering.The discovered architecture achieved comparable accuracy when evaluated with a fixed Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) architecture. The results have shown a potential of using this automated architecture search mechanism for solving other problems in genomics.","PeriodicalId":352754,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 10th GCC Conference & Exhibition (GCC)","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132036755","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 studied system is a single-phase grid-connected 7-level CHB inverter. The proposed fault detection scheme reconstructs (estimate) in real-time the injected grid current using the outputs/inputs data mapping. The HWM considers as inputs the 7-level inverter voltage to reconstruct the injected grid current to be used for the detection of open- circuit faults in the different cells. The key idea behind the proposed technique is the online identification of the HWM parameters based on the Recursive Least Squares solution to estimate accurately the injected current. Indeed, unlike the other observer-based fault detection techniques, the implementation of the proposed method does not require any physical model development or observability conditions. The presented simulation results show the high performance of the proposed strategy in real-time detection of open-circuit failures.","PeriodicalId":352754,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 10th GCC Conference & Exhibition (GCC)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133410889","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 design constitutes primarily of two stages. First is to install solar panel on the electric vehicle's roof to augment the traditional batteries and thus, extend the battery run time. Second stage is to build a grid-connected solar charging station where on campus EVs can be parked on rote basis and take advantage of the high solar irradiation while in parking mode. This in turn will help reduce in-house electricity consumption caused by the conventional charging method. The project upon successful completion is expected to serve as a teaching tool for Effat University's students. Moreover, it will serve as a demonstration with the potential to be later adopted by the broader community in hospitality and other sprawling campuses.","PeriodicalId":352754,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 10th GCC Conference & Exhibition (GCC)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116820486","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 real analysis is carried out on the measured instantaneous power production from one PV module installed in Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR). Based on the results the energy production is in direct proportionality to the solar irradiation while the performance ratio is in inveigle proportionality to the solar irradiation.

In this paper, we propose and implement a metal detection module using Terasic Spider Robot, planned to be used in landmine detection operations. A hardware circuit model to detect metal was designed for the metal detection module and embedded on the TSR. The on board control system was implemented using a reconfigurable DE0 Nano System on Chip platform that can further process the information from the metal detector using efficient algorithm. The movement of the TSR was controlled remotely by Bluetooth using a smartphone app designed specifically for this application.
