Real Time Speaker Recognition System for Hindi Words
Статья научная
Real time speaker recognition is needed for various voice controlled applications. Background noise influences the overall efficiency of speaker recognition system and is still considered a challenge in Speaker Recognition System (SRS). In this paper MFCC feature is used along with VQLBG algorithm for designing SRS. A new approach for designing a Voice Activity Detector (VAD) has been proposed which can discriminate between silence and voice activity and this can significantly improve the performance of SRS under noisy conditions. MFCC feature is extracted from the input speech and then vector quantization of the extracted MFCC features is done using VQLBG algorithm. Speaker identification is done by comparing the features of a newly recorded voice with the database under a specific threshold using Euclidean distance approach. The entire processing is done using MATLAB tool.The experimental result shows that the proposed method gives good results.

Real estate recommendation using historical data and surrounding environments
Статья научная
Recommending appropriate things to the user by analyzing available data is becoming popular day by day. There are no sufficient researches on Real-estate recommendation with historical data and surrounding environments. We have collected real-estate, historical and point of interest (POI) data from the various sources. In this research, a hybrid filtering technique is used for recommending real-estate consisting of collaborative and content-based filtering. Generally, in every website user ratings are collected for the recommendation. But we have considered historical data and surrounding environments of a real-estate location for recommendation by which it will be easy for a user to decide that which place would be better for him/her. If any user request for any specific location then the system will find the POI data using google map API. Then the system will consider historical data of that area, got from the trusted sources. So considering the minimum price and optimal facilities, our system will recommend top-k real-estate. After extensive experiments on real and synthetic data, we have proved the efficiency of our proposed recommender system.

Статья научная
Using recommender systems with the help of computer systems technology to support the Tourist advising process offers many advantages over the traditional system. A knowledge based recommender reasons about the fit between a user’s need and the features of available products. Providing an effective service in Ethiopian Tourism sector is critical to attract more foreign and local tourists. However, there are major problems that need immediate solution. First, the difficulty of getting fast, reliable, and consistent expert advice in the sector that is suitable to each visitor’s characteristics and capabilities. Second, inadequacy of the number of experienced experts and consulting individuals who can give advice on tourism issues in the country. Therefore, this paper aims to design a recommender system for tourist attraction area and visiting time selection that can assist experts and tourists to make timely decisions that helps them to get fast and consistent advisory service. So that, visitors can identify tourist attraction areas that have the highest potential of success/satisfaction and that match their personal characteristics. The system provides recommendation to visitors based on previously solved cases and new query given by the tourist. For this study, about 615 cases which are collected from National Tour operation and 10 attributes which are collected from experts are used as case base. These attributes and cases are used as knowledge base to construct case based recommender. The system calculates similarity between existing cases and new queries that are provided by the visitors, and provide solution or recommendation by taking best cases to the new query. In this study, JCOLIBRI case base development tool is used to develop the prototype. JCOLIBRI contains both user interface which enables visitors to enter their query and programming codes with the help of Java script language. To decide the applicability of the prototype in the domain area, the system has been evaluated by involving domain experts and visitors through visual interaction using the criteria of easiness to use, time efficiency, applicability in the domain area and providing correct recommendation. Based on prototype user acceptance testing, the average performance of the system is 80% and 82% by domain experts and visitors respectively. The performance of the system is also measured using the standard measure of relevance (IR system) recall, precision and accuracy measures, where the system registers 83% recall, 61% precision and 85.4% accuracy.

Redesign Sanjai Chips Packaging Using Kansei Engineering Method
Статья научная
Sanjai chips made from cassava is typical tradisional Minang food. Packaging design is fundamental because 89% of consumer responses to buying a product are influenced by packaging. Current packaging weakness are plastic packaging is thin, no accompanying brands, and unattractive packaging, so less attractive, greasy, leaks, and make the chips contained in it be destroyed when bought for souvenirs. For this reason, it is necessary to redesign packaging for sanjai chips to increase product protection and influence consumers. Kansei Engineering is a method that deals with the psychological aspects of consumers when interacting with products to obtain a relationship between feelings and product characteristics. Because of that, this method has been chosen. The kansei process begins with a span of semantic space which begins with determining the kansei word. Kansei words were obtained from the distribution of open questionnaires and also based on previous research. After that, the span of the space of properties is determined which is useful for identifying what product properties should be in the design. after that the synthesis, design and evaluation are carried out. Based on the results from the results of the synthesis of span of semantic space and span of the space of properties, it was found that to design Sanjai Chips packaging, the criteria for packaging design are simple, good, informative, unique, and convincing for packaging materials must be non-greasy, made of plastic, good, strong, and convincing, while for other facilities criteria must be flexible.

Reducing Multicast Redundancy and Latency in Multi-Interface Multi-Channel Wireless Mesh Networks
Статья научная
In wireless mesh networks, each node can be equipped with multiple network interface cards tuned to different channels. In this paper, we study the problem of collision-free multicast in multi-interface multi-channel wireless mesh networks. The concept of interface redundancy is proposed as a new criterion for the multicast/broadcast redundancy in wireless mesh networks, and we prove that building a multicast/broadcast tree with the minimum interface redundancy is NP-hard. We also prove that the minimum-latency multicasting problem in multi-channel wireless mesh networks is NP-hard. We present two heuristic-based algorithms which jointly reduce the interface redundancy and the multicast latency. Since broadcast can be considered as a special case of multicast, an approximate algorithm for low-redundancy broadcast tree construction is also proposed, which has a constant approximation ratio. Finally, the simulation results prove the effectiveness of our approach.

Reduction of Multiple Move Method Suggestions Using Total Call-Frequencies of Distinct Entities
Статья научная
Inappropriate placement of methods causes Feature Envy (FE) code smell and makes classes coupled with each other. To achieve cohesion among classes, FE code smell can be removed using automated Move Method Refactoring (MMR) suggestions. However, challenges arise when existing techniques provide multiple MMR suggestions for a single FE instance. The developers need to manually find an appropriate target classes for applying MMR as an FE instance cannot be moved to multiple classes. In this paper, a technique is proposed named MultiMMRSReducer, to reduce multiple MMR suggestions by considering the Total Call-Frequencies of Distinct Entities (TCFDE). Experimental results show that TCFDE can reduce the multiple MMR suggestions of an FE instance and performs 77.92% better than an existing approach, namely, JDeodorant. Moreover, it can ensure minimum future changes in the dependent classes of an FE instance.

Reduction of Power Consumption in FPGAs - An Overview
Статья научная
Field Programmable Gate Arrays FPGAs are highly desirable for implementation of digital systems due to their flexibility, programmability and low end product life cycle. In more than 20 years since the introduction of FPGA, research and development has produced dramatic improvements in FPGA speed and area efficiency, narrowing the gap between FPGAs and ASICs and making FPGAs the platform of choice for implementing digital circuits. FPGAs hold significant promise as a fast to market replacement. Unfortunately, the advantages of FPGAs are offset in many cases by their high power consumption and area. The goal is to reduce the power consumption without sacrificing much performance or incurring a large chip area so that the territories of FPGAs applications can expand more effectively. Reducing the power of FPGAs is the key to lowering packaging and cooling costs, improving device reliability, and opening the door to new markets such as mobile electronics. This paper presents the tips to lower down the static and dynamic power dissipation in FPGAs. It gives an overview of various techniques at system, device, and circuit and architecture level used for reduction of power consumption of FPGAs and their outcomes.

Статья научная
With the rapid development of information technology, it is inevitable for the distributed mobile computing will evolve to the pervasive computing gradually and whose final goal is fusing the information space composed of computers with the physical space in which the people are working and living in. Furthermore, with the development of SOA, more and more pervasive applications have been composed of different kinds of services. So how to choose a suitable service from all the useable services is the most important step for pervasive computing. Compare to the traditional service selection we must take more care of the context as well as the quality of them in pervasive environment. However, most of existing researches pay no attention to QoC(Quality of Service) which may lead to unreliable selections. Therefore we proposed a middleware based service selection scheme to support QoC-aware service selection efficiently.
