Parameters such as the size of the forest N and the number of features used at each split M, has significant impact on the performance of the RF especially on instances with very large number of attributes. In a previous work Genetic Algorithms has been used to dynamically optimize the size of RF. This study extends this genetic algorithm approach to further enhance the accuracy of Random Forests by building the forest out of heterogeneous decision trees, heterogeneous here means trees with different M values. The approach is termed as Heterogeneous Genetic Algorithm based Random Forests (HGARF). As Random Forests generates a typical large number of decision trees with randomisation over the feature space when splitting at each node for all the trees, this has motivated the development of a genetic algorithm based optimisation. Typically, HGARF accepts as an input a forest RF→ of N trees, the initial population is randomly generated from RF→ as a number of smaller random forests rfi→ where each one has a number ni ≤ N of trees. This population of forests is then evolved through a number of generations using genetic algorithms. Our extensive experimental study has proved that Random Forests performance could be boosted using the genetic algorithm approach.","PeriodicalId":412749,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE/ACS 11th International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications (AICCSA)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116211662","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}

A single device now performs multiple functions: organizing contacts and calendars, playing games, storing sensitive personal and corporate information, and even making phone calls. Mobile devices are currently, largely single-user systems. Despite the fact that a device can be used for various purposes, the dividing line between data and applications applied in differing domains is poorly defined. Extending such complexities to the cloud raises a host of issues relating to data ownership, cloud-centric security modules, data/device centric mobile security solutions, and cloud-centric data management. Device survivability, remote device management, and contextual policy enforcement capabilities can be supported and extended by cloud services. In this paper, our contribution is threefold: firstly, we examine the issues related to mobile/smart devices and cloud services, and present a context-based, dynamic cloud security framework appropriate for connected home ecosystem futures. Secondly, we outline the key requirements for a cloud infrastructure. We outline mechanisms to handle device survivability and continuity in terms of remote back-up, remote wipe and dynamic context-aware cloud-centric smart device solutions. Thirdly, the paper also summarised some of the security threats and presents a design for a dynamic secure cloud resilience framework. The framework supports the issues of continuity, resilience and survivability of data on smart devices.","PeriodicalId":412749,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE/ACS 11th International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications (AICCSA)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125738916","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}

Indeed, the lack of semantic metadata extraction makes these resources underused in the retrieval process. To overcome these difficulties, the extraction of semantic descriptions requires an analysis of the audiovisual document's content. The automation of the process of describing audiovisual documents is essential because of the richness and the diversity of the available analytical criteria. In this paper, we present a method that allows the identification of a semantic and automatic description from the content such as genre. We chose to describe the cinematic audiovisual documents based on the documentation prepared in the pre-production phase of films, namely synopsis. The experimental result on Imdb (Internet Movie Database) and the Wikipedia encyclopedia indicate that our method of genre detection is better than the result of these corpuses.","PeriodicalId":412749,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE/ACS 11th International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications (AICCSA)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125331066","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}

Most of the localization systems are based on the odometry sensors or the map of the environment, Therefore, localization is a major requirement for a mobile robot. The navigating operation in mobile robot usually uses the odometry sensors to estimate its position. These odometry sensors reckoning the number of revolutions that the wheels make while driving and turning. This reading of the wheel is used to estimating the displacement over the ground to give a make of the location of the robot. This way of localization has many problem, such as wheel slippage, surface roughness, and mechanical tolerances. These papers, propose a mobile robot localization system based on the extended kalman filter and infrared sensor to overcome the problems of localization in mobile robot.

Hence, the approach to exhaustive BigData analysis that integrates structured and unstructured data processing have become increasingly critical in today's world. MapReduce, has recently emerged as a popular framework for extensive data analytics. Use of powerful indexing techniques would allow users to significantly speed up query processing among MapReduce jobs. Currently, there are a number of indexing techniques like Hadoop++, HAIL, LIAH, Adaptive Indexing etc., but none of them provide an optimized technique for text based selection operations. This paper proposes two indexing approaches in HDFS, namely LIndex and HIndex. These indexing approaches are found to carefully perform selection operation better compared to existing Lucene index approach. A fast retrieval technique is suggested in the MapReduce framework with the new LIndex and HIndex approaches. LIndex provides a complete-text index and it informs the Hadoop implementation engine to scan only those data blocks which contain the terms of interest. LIndex also enhances the throughput (minimizes response time) and overcome some of the drawbacks like upfront cost and long idle time for index creation. This gave a better performance than Lucene but lacked in response and computation time. Hence a new index named HIndex is suggested. This scheme is found to perform better than LIndex in response and computation time.","PeriodicalId":412749,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE/ACS 11th International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications (AICCSA)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114208997","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}

However, compared with the well structured relational databases of a company, XML data presents a complex hierarchical structure, which renders inappropriate, existing traditional data warehouse approaches and techniques. In this paper, we propose a semi-automatic approach for XML data warehouse design starting from XML schemas as data sources. The first step consists in automatically generating the UML Class diagram from W3C XML Schema (XSD). However, the obtained diagram can be very large and hard to understand. To overcome this situation, we use a set of rules based on basic techniques for object oriented design quality to develop a simplification algorithm that efficiently generates high-quality diagrams with limited number of classes. Then, we propose a multi-dimensional (MD) element extraction algorithm to automatically identify facts, measures and their corresponding dimensions. We also present a new metric for ranking obtained MD schemas according to their relevance. The final step consists in automatically generating the star XML schema that corresponds to the XML Data warehouse schema. Finally, we have implemented our approach using JAVA and we have evaluated this tool on several XML schemas.","PeriodicalId":412749,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE/ACS 11th International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications (AICCSA)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128044436","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}

We consider the relay movement with low mobility features and evaluate the performance based on the total transmission power requirement. In addition, relay selection region is obtained to improve the overall performance of the system. Simulation results show that a similar performance in terms of total transmit power can be achieved at lower complexity if we select the relay from a specific relay selection region as compared to considering all the relays in the network.","PeriodicalId":412749,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE/ACS 11th International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications (AICCSA)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115817278","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}
