Design Migration from Procedural to Object Oriented Paradigm by Clustering Data Call Graph
Статья научная
Management of legacy software and its code, generally written in procedural languages, is often costly and time-consuming. To help this management, a migration from procedural to object oriented paradigm could be a cost effective option. One approach for such migration can be based on the underlying dependency structure of the procedural source code. In this work, we propose a new heuristic algorithm that utilizes such structure for the design migration using agglomerative hierarchical clustering. The dependency structure that has been used involve functions, parameters and global data of the procedural code. Given a procedural code, the proposed approach produces candidate classes for an object oriented design. The proposed algorithm was tested against a database of procedural codes. The results obtained have been empirically validated using Jaccard similarity coefficient. It is observed that the proposed method yields 75.6% similarity with respect to the ground truth in the average case.

Design New Robust Self Tuning Fuzzy Backstopping Methodology
Статья научная
This research is focused on proposed Proportional-Integral (PI) like fuzzy adaptive backstopping fuzzy algorithms based on Proportional-Derivative (PD) fuzzy rule base with the adaptation laws derived in the Lyapunov sense. Adaptive SISO PI like fuzzy adaptive backstopping fuzzy method has two main objectives; the first objective is design a SISO fuzzy system to compensate for the model uncertainties of the system, and the second objective is focused on the design PI like fuzzy controller based on PD method as an adaptive methodology. Classical backstopping control is robust to control model uncertainties and external disturbances and is a main controller in this research. The fuzzy controller is used in this method to system compensation. To increase the robust of this controller adaptive PI like fuzzy controller is introduced and applied to backstopping fuzzy controller. Classical backstopping control method has difficulty in handling unstructured model uncertainties. One can overcome this problem by combining a backstopping controller and artificial intelligence (e.g. fuzzy logic). To approximate a time-varying nonlinear dynamic system, a fuzzy system requires a large amount of fuzzy rule base. This large number of fuzzy rules will cause a high computation load. The addition of an adaptive law to a backstopping fuzzy controller to online tune the coefficients in use will ensure a moderate computational load. The adaptive laws in this algorithm are designed based on the Lyapunov stability theorem. This method is applied to continuum robot manipulator to have the best performance.

Design an accurate algorithm for alias detection
Статья научная
An improvement in detection of alias names of an entity is an important factor in many cases like terrorist and criminal network. Accurately detecting these aliases plays a vital role in various applications. In particular, it is critical to detect the aliases that are intentionally hidden from the real identities, such as those of terrorists and frauds. Alias Detection (AD) as the name suggests, a process undertaken in order to quantify and identify different variants of single name showing up in multiple domains. This process is mainly performed by the inversion of one-to-many and many-to-one mapping. Aliases mainly occur when entities try to hide their actual names or real identities from other entities i.e.; when an object has multiple names and more than one name is used to address a single object. N-gram distance algorithm (N-DIST) have find wide applicability in the process of AD when the same is based upon orthographic and typographic variations. Kondrak approach, a popular N-DIST works well and fulfill the cause, but at the same time we uncover that (N-DIST) suffers from serious inabilities when applied to detect aliases occurring due to the transliteration of Arabic name into English. This is the area were we have tried to hammer in this paper. Effort in the paper has been streamlined in extending the N-gram distance metric measure of the approximate string matching (ASM) algorithm to make the same evolve in order to detect aliases which have their basing on typographic error. Data for our research is of the string form (names & activities from open source web pages). A comparison has been made to show the effectiveness of our adjustment to (N-DIST) by applying both forms of (N-DIST) on the above data set. As expected we come across that adjusted (A-N-DIST) works well in terms of both performance & functional efficiency when it comes to matching names based on transliteration of Arabic into English language from one domain to another.

Most of the algorithms implemented in FPGAs used to be fixed-point. Floating-point operations are useful for computations involving large dynamic range, but they require significantly more resources than integer operations. With the current trends in system requirements and available FPGAs, floating-point implementations are becoming more common and designers are increasingly taking advantage of FPGAs as a platform for floating-point implementations. The rapid advance in Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology makes such devices increasingly attractive for implementing floating-point arithmetic. Compared to Application Specific Integrated Circuits, FPGAs offer reduced development time and costs. Moreover, their flexibility enables field upgrade and adaptation of hardware to run-time conditions. A 32 bit floating point arithmetic unit with IEEE 754 Standard has been designed using VHDL code and all operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are tested on Xilinx. Thereafter, Simulink model in MAT lab has been created for verification of VHDL code of that Floating Point Arithmetic Unit in Modelsim.

A low power Test Pattern Generator (TPG) designed by modifying Linear Feedback Shift Register is proposed to produce low power test vectors that are deployed on Circuit under Test (CUT) to slenderize the dynamic power consumption by CUT. The technique involved in generating low power test patterns is performed by increasing the correlativity between the successive vectors; the ambiguity in increasing the similarity between consecutive vectors is resolved by reducing the number of bit flips between successive test patterns. Upon deploying the low power test patterns at the inputs of CUT, slenderizes the switching activities inside CUT that in turn reduces its dynamic power consumption. The resulted low power test vectors are deployed on CUT to obtain fault coverage. The experimental results demonstrate significant power reduction by low power TPG than compared to standard LFSR.

The conventional voting scheme employs paper-based ballot to verify votes. This voting scheme is insecure due to the attributed shortcomings including ballot stuffing, ballot snatching and voter's impersonation. In this paper, we present the design and development of secure e-voting to ensure a free, fair and credible election where the preference of electorate counts. This proposed system solves the authentication, integrity and confidentiality security issues of e-voting in kiosk and poll site evoting scenarios using unimodal fingerprint biometrics and Advanced Encryption Standard based Wavelet based Crypto-watermarking Approach. The developed system solves: The possibility of blundering voter's authentication, integrity and confidentiality of vote stored in the server. The results after qualitative evaluation of the system with anti-watermarking detectors revealed that the developed secure e-voting system could serve as a platform for the delivery of credible e-election in developing countries with significant digital divides.

Design of an arbiter for two systems accessing a single DDR3 memory on a reconfigurable platform
Статья научная
The computer memory has been revolutionized in the last 25-30 years, in terms of both capacity and speed of execution. Along with this, even the logic controlling the memory has also become more and more complex and difficult to interface. Usually, memory subsystems will be designed to interact with a single system. Whenever we consider a two system is sharing a common memory, there comes the need for an Arbiter. The major difference between a memory arbiter and a processor scheduler is that the memory arbiter works at a much finer level of granularity. The time taken for the task execution may range from micro to milliseconds, while a RAM controller needs to serve the request in a few nanoseconds. Because of this reason the resource arbiters are usually designed and implemented in hardware rather than in software.

Designing a Real-Time Data-Driven Customer Churn Risk Indicator for Subscription Commerce
Статья научная
One of the main goals of customer relationship management is to reduce or eliminate “customer churn”, i.e. loss of existing customers. This paper introduces a prototype algorithm to estimate a continuously updated indicator of the probability of an existing customer to cease purchasing from a subscription commerce business. The investigation is focused on the case of repeat consumers of subscription commerce products which require regular replacement or replenishment. The motivation is to help marketers to make targeted proactive retention actions by categorizing regular customers into groups of similar estimated churn risk. The proposed algorithm re-computes the probability of churn for each customer at regular intervals using past purchase transaction data and incorporating subscription-based business logic. We describe the detailed process from data collection and feature engineering to the algorithm’s design. We also present evaluation results of the algorithm’s performance based on a pilot test that took place on a consumables e-commerce business. The results suggest a significant capability of the proposed algorithm in capturing the purchasing intentions of repeat customers, regardless of the risk group they belong to.

Despeckling of Medical Ultrasound Images: A Technical Review
Статья научная
Acquisition of digital image and preprocessing methods plays a vital role in clinical diagnosis. The ultrasound medical images are more popular than other imaging modalities, due to portable, adequate, harmless and cheaper nature of it. Because of intrinsic nature of speckle noise (signal based noise), ultrasound medical image leads to degradation of the resolution and contrast of the image. Reduction of this signal based noise is helpful for the purpose of visualization of the ultrasound images. The low quality of image is considered as a barrier for the better extraction of features, recognition, analysis and detection of edges. Because of which inappropriate diagnosis may be done by doctor. Thus, speckle noise reduction is essential and preprocessing step of ultrasound images. Analysts survey manifold reduction methods of speckle noise, yet there is no exact method that takes all the limitations into account. In this review paper, we compare filters that are Lee, Frost, Median, SRAD, PMAD, SRBF, Bilateral, Adaptive Bilateral and Multiresolution on medical ultrasound images. The results are compared with parameter PSNR along with the visual inspection. The conclusion is illustrated by filtered images and data tables.

Detecting Return Value Mismatch during Component Adaptation with Concern of System Performance
Статья научная
Component adaptation becomes a critical problem in component-based software engineering (CBSE). This problem appears during assembling and reusing of components into new system. The interoperability among components needs to use adaptation technique to solve this problem. Usually, there are mismatches between interfaces of reusable components. This research will focus on detecting fully semantic component interface mismatch by proposing a solution including return value match next to other match such as operation name, method of operation and parameter type match. This research just explains return value mismatch that are not considered in other solutions. The proposed solution also concerns about system performance that is neglected in previous solutions by proposing a ‘Detector’ tool that is responsible to assign and delete unwanted functions from reusable component before integration.

Determination of reproduction accuracy of dot area of irregular structure
Статья научная
The paper deals with the analysis and calculation of the impact of raster element structure on the reproduction accuracy of the area. The process of screening is one of the important stages of preparing images for printing. Depending on the method of forming of an area of a printing element are distinguished: continuous, which is conventionally called analog screening, and screening with their discrete variables - digital screening. Digital screening systems are widely used in computer publishing systems. In the digital screening of forming shape and sizes of raster elements carried out discrete using raster image processor (RIP). A well-known fact is that the value of the dot area is a key information-bearing parameter of discrete screening since reproduction of halftone key in a raster image is carried out by changing the dot area. It is therefore an important and relevant task to determine the dot area.

The deployment of mobile health (mHealth) apps can transform healthcare in rural and remote communities worldwide. Rural communities in Zimbabwe have limited access to information that affects their health, economic and social being due to structural and social barriers related to the inaccessibility of traditional media. mhealth apps are a valuable tool to monitor disease outbreaks and provide preventative information to the public. Lack of access to COVID-19 information results in high fatalities and public panic, and it is critical to publish reliable and timely information. The study’s objective was to demonstrate the utility of a mHealth app prototype developed to enhance access to COVID-19 information in rural and remote communities in Zimbabwe. The prototype provides COVID-19 information such as statistics, preventative measures, self-diagnostics, social distancing information, and general hygiene to rural communities with limited access to official information channels on the pandemic. A design science research methodology was used to design, build and evaluate the COVID-19 mHealth app and fulfil the study’s objectives. Thirty potential users participated in the evaluation of the prototype. The evaluation results show that potential users perceived that the prototype was useful, engaging, easy to learn, well designed, and provided relevant information. A strong correlation was observed between the design, engagement, functionality, and learnability. More widespread usability and more representative tests should be conducted to ascertain the efficacy and usability of the app. The study contributes literature on usability studies in developing countries.
