This paper presents a fault tolerant control (FTC) based on Radial Base Function Neural Network (RBFNN) using an adaptive control law for double star induction machine (DSIM) under broken rotor bars (BRB) fault in a squirrel-cage in order to improve its reliability and availability. The proposed FTC is designed to compensate for the default effect by maintaining acceptable performance in case of BRB. The sufficient condition for the stability of the closed-loop system in faulty operation is analyzed and verified using Lyapunov theory. To proof the performance and effectiveness of the proposed FTC, a comparative study within sliding mode control (SMC) is carried out. Obtained results show that the proposed FTC has a better robustness against the BRB fault.

Adaptive algorithm design for cooperative hunting in multi-robots
Статья научная
The multi-robot cooperative planning is gained significant attention in recent past mainly for the evaders hunting task. In evaders hunting, the robot nodes required to recognize their other team members and considering their current positions and capabilities to catch the stationary or moving evaders effectively through the cooperating path planning approach. The primary challenge to design cooperative multi-robot evader hunting system is efficient and adaptive coordination of multiple autonomous mobile robots with less delay and communication overhead in presence of big-size obstacles. The current solutions suffered from repeated hunting problem under the inaccessible network conditions due to the presence of big-size obstacles and ineffective utilization of known nodes information. In this paper, to alleviate the problem of repeated hunting and inefficient catching of all evaders in the network, we proposed the adaptive Bio-inspired Neural Network (ABNN) using the new shunting equation with the capability of adaptive hunting of all evaders in the system. We design ABNN based on the implicit robot to predict the next path to catch evaders efficiently by real robots. The use of implicit robot helps to prevent the big sized evaders and efficiently utilize the evader’s information. The simulation results demonstrate that ABNN performs efficient evaders hunting under the presence of big size obstacles.

Due to freedom to express views, opinions, news, etc and easier method to disseminate the information to large population worldwide, social media platforms are inundated with big streaming data characterized by both short text and long normal text. Getting the glimpse of ongoing events happening over social media is quintessential from the viewpoint of understanding the trends, and for this, topic modeling is the most important step. With reference to increase in proliferation of big data streaming from social media platforms, it is crucial to perform large scale topic modeling to extract the topics dynamically in an online manner. This paper proposes an adaptive framework for dynamic topic modeling from big data using deep learning approach. Approach based on approximation of online latent semantic indexing constrained by regularization has been put forth. The model is designed using deep network of feed forward layers. The framework works in an adaptive manner in the sense that model is extracts incrementally according to streaming data and retrieves dynamic topics. In order to get the trends and evolution of topics, the framework supports temporal topic modeling, and enables to detect implicit and explicit aspects from sentences also.

Advanced Mobile Surveillance System for Multiple People Tracking
Статья научная
The paper develops an efficient people surveillance system capable of tracking multiple people on different terrains. Recorded video on rough terrains is affected by jitters resulting into significant error between the desired and captured video flow. Video stabilization is achieved by calculating the motion and compensational parameters using the LSE analytical solution to minimize the error between present and desired output video captured from an autonomous robot’s camera moving on a rough terrain used for surveillance of unidentified people. This is the first paper to the best of our knowledge which makes use of this method to design mobile wireless robot for human surveillance applications. As the method used is fast then conventional methods, making the proposed system a highly efficient surveillance system as compared to previous systems. The superiority of the method used is demonstrated using different evaluation parameters like RMCD, variability and reliability. The system can be used for surveillance of people under different environmental conditions.

Agent-Based Buyer-Trader Interaction Model of Traditional Markets
Статья научная
One problem in simulating crowds in traditional markets is calculating the interaction duration between traders and buyers. This problem can be solved in a simple way by doing field observation to obtain some samples to find the average interaction duration between traders and buyers. This method is simple. On the other hand, the result will be less valid if the parameters are change. The purpose of this research is to develop an interaction model between traders and buyers by looking deeper into the negotiation process. This model is developed based on multi-agent system. Output of this model is the interaction duration. This model has been implemented in a traditional market crowd simulation. Based on the simulation, by adjusting the parameters in this model, the interaction duration by the model matches the real condition in traditional markets.

Agent-Based Crowd Simulation of Daily Goods Traditional Markets
Статья научная
In traditional market, buyers are not only moving from one place to another, but also interacting with traders to purchase their products. When a buyer interacts with a trader, he blocks some space in the corridor. Besides, while buyers are walking, they may be attracted by non-preferred traders, though they may have preferred traders. These situations have not been covered in most existing crowd simulation models. Hence, these existing models cannot be directly implemented in traditional market environments since they mainly focus on crowd members' movement. This research emphasizes on a crowd model that includes simplified movement and unplanned purchasing models. This model has been developed based on intelligent agent concept, where each agent represents a buyer. Two traditional markets are used for simulation in this research, namely Gedongkuning and Ngasem, in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The simulation shows that some places are visited more frequently than others. Overall, the simulation result matches the situation found in the real world.

Agent-based Models in Synthetic Biology: Tools for Simulation and Prospects
Статья научная
We describe a multiset of agents based modeling and simulation paradigm for synthetic biology. The multiset of agents –based programming paradigm, can be interpreted as the outcome arising out of deterministic, nondeterministic or stochastic interaction among elements in a multiset object space, that includes the environment. These interactions are like chemical reactions and the evolution of the multiset can emulate the system biological functions. Since the reaction rules are inherently parallel, any number of actions can be performed cooperatively or competitively among the subsets of elements, so that the elements evolve toward equilibrium or emergent state. Practical realization of this paradigm for system biological simulation is achieved through the concept of transactional style programming with agents, as well as soft computing (neural- network) principles. Also we briefly describe currently available tools for agent-based-modeling, simulation and animation.

Aggregation Operators Review - Mathematical Properties and Behavioral Measures
Статья научная
A problem that humans must face very often is that of having to add, melt or synthesize information, that is, combine together a series of data from various sources to reach a certain conclusion or make a certain decision. This involves the use of one or more aggregation operators capable to provide a collective preference relation. These operators must be chosen according to specific criteria taking into account the characteristic properties of each operator. Some conditions to be taken into account to identify them are the following: axiomatic strength, empirical setting, adaptability, numerical efficiency, compensation and compensation range, added behavior and scale level required of the membership functions. It is possible to establish a general list of possible mathematical properties whose verification might be desirable in certain cases: boundary conditions, continuity, not decreasing monotony, symmetry, idempotence, associativity, bisymmetry, self-distributivity, compensation, homogeneity, translativity, stability, ϕ-comparability, sensitivity and locally internal functions. For analyze the attitudinal character of the aggregation operator the following measures are studied: disjunction degree (orness), dispersion, balance and divergence. In this paper, a review of these issues is presented.

Air quality prediction in Visakhapatnam with LSTM based recurrent neural networks
Статья научная
The research activity considered in this paper concerns about efficient approach for modeling and prediction of air quality. Poor air quality is an environmental hazard that has become a great challenge across the globe. Therefore, ambient air quality assessment and prediction has become a significant area of study. In general, air quality refers to quantification of pollution free air in a particular location. It is determined by measuring different types of pollution indicators in the atmosphere. Traditional approaches depend on numerical methods to estimate the air pollutant concentration and require lots of computing power. Moreover, these methods cannot draw insights from the abundant data available. To address this issue, the proposed study puts forward a deep learning approach for quantification and prediction of ambient air quality. Recurrent neural networks (RNN) based framework with special structured memory cells known as Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) is proposed to capture the dependencies in various pollutants and to perform air quality prediction. Real time dataset of the city Visakhapatnam having a record of 12 pollutants was considered for the study. Modeling of temporal sequence data of each pollutant was performed for forecasting hourly based concentrations. Experimental results show that proposed RNN-LSTM frame work attained higher accuracy in estimating hourly based air ambience. Further, this model may be enhanced by adopting bidirectional mechanism in recurrent layer.

Aligning molecular sequences by wavelet transform using cross correlation similarity metric
Статья научная
The first fact of sequence analysis is sequence alignment for the study of structural and functional analysis of the molecular sequence. Owing to the increase in biological data, there is a trade-off between accuracy and the computation of sequence alignment process. Sequences can be aligned both in locally and globally to gives vital information for biologists. Focusing these issues, in this work the local and global alignment are focused on aligning multiple molecular sequences by applying a wavelet transform. Here, the sequence is converted into numerical values using the electron-ion interaction potential model. This is decomposed using a type of wavelet transform and the similarity between the sequences is found using the cross- correlation measure. The significance of the similarity is evaluated using two scoring function namely Position Specific Matrix and a new function called Count score. The work is compared with Fast Fourier Transform based approach and the result shows that the proposed method improves the alignment.

The frequent poor service network experienced by some mobile phone users within some deadlock areas in Nigeria is an issue which has been identified by different researchers due to wrong positioning and planning of the evolved NodeB (eNodeB) transmitter using existing propagation loss models. To effectively contribute towards this potential issue constantly experienced in some part of Nigeria, an adaptive hybrid propagation loss model that is based on wavelet transform and genetic algorithm methods has been developed for cellular network planning and optimization, with the capacity to resolve the problems absolutely. First, the signal strengths were measured within four selected eNodeB cell sites in long term evolution (LTE) at 2600MHz using drive-test method. Secondly, the measured data were denoised through wavelet tools. Thirdly, COST231 model was optimize and deduced to generic model with parameters. Fourthly, genetic optimization algorithm automatically developed the propagation loss models for denoised signal data (designated as wavelet-GA model) and unprocessed signal data (designated as GA model). The hybrid wavelet-GA propagation loss model, GA propagation loss model, and COST231 propagation loss model were compared based on three error metrics such as root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and correlation coefficient (R). The developed hybrid wavelet-GA model estimated the lowest RMSEs of 2.8813 dB, 3.9381 dB, 4.7643 dB, 6.9366 dB, whereas, COST231 model gave highest value of RMSE. The developed hybrid wavelet-GA model also derived the least value of MAE as compared with COST231 and the GA models, such as, 2.2016 dB, 2.8672 dB, 3.4766 dB, 5.8235 dB. The correlation coefficients were also compared, and it showed that the developed hybrid wavelet-GA model were 90.04%, 78.61%, 92.21% and 91.23% for the four cell sites. The developed hybrid wavelet-GA model was also validated to account for the performance level by checking for the correlation coefficient using another measured signal data from different eNodeB cell sites other than the once used for the developed of the hybrid wavelet-GA model. It was noticed that the developed hybrid wavelet-GA propagation loss model is 97.41% valid. Existing standard COST231 model are not able to predict propagation loss with high level of accuracy, as such not efficient to be applied within part of Port Harcourt, Nigeria. The proposed hybrid wavelet-GA model has proven to achieve high performance level and it is relevant to be utilized for cellular network planning and optimization. In future purposes, more regions and locations should be considered to form a broader view in the development of more robust propagation loss models.

An Algorithm for Detecting the Minimal Sample Frequency for Tracking a Preset Motion Scenario
Статья научная
Inertial sensors are used for human motion capture in a wide range of applications. Some kinds of human motion can be tracked by inertial sensors incorporated in smartphones or smartwatches. However, the latter can scarcely be used if misclassification of user activities is highly undesirable. In this case electronics and embedded software engineers should design, implement and verify their own human motion capture embedded systems, and oftentimes they have to do so from scratch. One of the issues the engineers should face is selection of suitable components, primarily accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers, after thorough examination of commercially available items. Among technical characteristics of inertial sensors their sample frequency determines whether the sensor will be able to capture a specific motion kind or not. We propose a novel algorithm that allows the researcher or embedded software engineer to calculate the minimal sample frequency sufficient for tracking a prescribed motion scenario without significant signal losses. The algorithm utilizes the Poisson equation for motion of a triaxial rigid body, the Shoemake’s algorithm for interpolating quaternions on the unit hypersphere, and the frequency analysis of a discrete-time signal. One can use the proposed algorithm as an argument for acceptance or rejection of a gyroscope when selecting hardware components for a human motion tracking system.

An Analysis of Fuzzy Approaches for COCOMO II
Статья научная
Software cost estimation is one of the most challenging task in project management. However, the process of estimation is uncertain in nature as it largely depends upon some attributes that are quite unclear during the early stages of development. In this paper a soft computing technique is explored to overcome the uncertainty and imprecision in estimation. The main objective of this research is to investigate the role of fuzzy logic technique in improving the effort estimation accuracy using COCOMO II by characterizing inputs parameters using Gaussian, trapezoidal and triangular membership functions and comparing their results. NASA (93) dataset is used in the evaluation of the proposed Fuzzy Logic COCOMO II. After analyzing the results it had been found that effort estimation using Gaussian member function yields better results for maximum criterions when compared with the other methods.

An Analysis of the Atlantic Ocean Wave Via Random Cosine and Sine Alternate Wavy ARIMA Functions
Статья научная
In this research, alternate random wave sine and cosine for discrete time-varying processes via Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) in a deterministic manner were developed. The mean and variance of the cosine and sine periodical time-varying wavy functions were derived such that Maclaurin series via full Taylor series expansion was used to rewrite the mean and variance functions. Wavy buoys of sea temperature, significant wave height, and mean wave direction of Belmullet Inner (Berth B) and Belmullet Outer (Berth A) of the Atlantic Ocean based on the west coastal of Ireland were subjected to the random sine and cosine wave functions of ARIMA. Cosine-ARIMA (1, 1, 3) and cosine-ARIMA (0, 1, 1) were the sea temperature inner and outer oceanic climate wave buoys of Berth B and A with time-periods of 8437.5 and 8035.714 respectively. Cosine-ARIMA (5, 1, 0) gave minimum performance for peak direction of inner and outer oceanic climate wave buoys of both Berth B and A, but with different time-periods of 168750 and 56250 respectively. Lastly, cosine-ARIMA (2, 1, 2) and sine-ARIMA (0, 1, 5) put in the ideal generalization for wave height of Berth B and A with the same associated wave time-periods of 56250, that is, it takes 56250 seconds to complete one swaying cycle.

Статья научная
Agent-based technology has generated a lot of attention in recent years because of its promise as a new paradigm for conceptualizing, designing, and implementing software systems. Some problems in real world cannot be handled by a single agent. Multiple agents work together to accomplish some task. Although multi-agent systems (MASs) provide many potential advantages, they also present many difficult challenges. This paper illustrates the importance of communication for planning in a multi-agent setting by considering a grid world domain that consists of obstacles at different locations. This paper provides a theoretical framework that is validated by the experimental results. Performance analysis with respect to plan size and execution time is also reported.

Qualitative bankruptcy prediction rules represent experts' problem-solving knowledge to predict qualitative bankruptcy. The objective of this research is predicting qualitative bankruptcy using ant-miner algorithm. Qualitative data are subjective and more difficult to measure. This approach uses qualitative risk factors which include fourteen internal risk factors and sixty eight external risk factors associated with it. By using these factors qualitative prediction rules are generated using ant-miner algorithm and the influence of these factors in bankruptcy is also analyzed. Ant-Miner algorithm is a application of ant colony optimization and data mining concepts. Qualitative rules generated by ant miner algorithm are validated using measure of agreement. These prediction rules yields better accuracy with lesser number of terms than previously applied qualitative bankruptcy prediction methodologies.
