By Jahnvi Tiwari Ashish Kumar Singh Ashish Yadav Rakesh Kumar Jha

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijisa.2015.08.01, Pub. Date: 8 Jul. 2015

Increase in demand of electricity and clean drinking water has produced a chronic need of a promising and reliable technology for the supply of both commodities, which should be entirely based on renewable sources of energy. The authors, in their previous work, had proposed a design of a hybrid power plant which used graphene membrane for power generation using reverse osmosis process. The proposal included removal of arsenic, poorly biodegradable pollutants using TiO2 nanoparticles. Chlorine production using the process of electrolysis. The plant was also electronically implemented and included pump control, fouling detection modules and decision module for the volume of effluents to be discharged. The performance of a power system is essential to be analyzed for control, stabilization and efficient modelling. In the present research paper, simulation model of the hybrid plant is analyzed. The chemical behavior is analyzed with 'Watpro 3.0' industrial software and turbine governance system is studied via MATLAB. This plant is a potential replacement of chemical purification techniques with high overhead and excess cost. It is a better, efficient, safe and reliable system to produce clean and safe drinking water and electricity simultaneously.

By Mohammad Saber Iraji

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijisa.2015.08.03, Pub. Date: 8 Jul. 2015

In software engineering is an important issue,predicates effort and schedule time for projects.In 1995 COCOMO 2 was introduced for modern software development processes .COCOMO 2 Is dependent on the program size in sloc and a set of cost drivers and Scale Factors given according to each phase of software life cycle. Defined by the agent, the agent-oriented software engineering is created a new development, was introduced as a new methodology in software engineering. The estimated cost of aspect oriented effort estimate is based on event, rule, goal, task, state machines features . We presented in This paper proposed approaches to reduce projects effort Mean Magnitude of Relative Error (MMRE) Than the actual amount for agent oriented software engineering, through Methods:Total sloc agent element,Total weighted sloc,Total pure fuzzy agent sloc,Total weighted fuzzy sloc,Total weighted fuzzy sloc *fuzzy element,Geometric mean For fuzzy sloc per item, Harmonic mean for fuzzy sloc per item, fuzzy combinatorial proposed system of elements density via determine the size of the three agent oriented projects And apply them to the COCOMO 2 model. Among the proposed approaches, fuzzy combinatorial proposed system of agent elements density are achieved better and more accurate results.

A Low-cost, Installable Intelligent Helper Module for Automobiles

By Shadman Sakib

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijisa.2015.08.04, Pub. Date: 8 Jul. 2015

Ground vehicles are being intelligent day by day. But in today’s market the price of an autonomous, which is still in its experimental phase, or a semi-autonomous intelligent vehicular system is too high. Apart from the usage of expensive sensors, previously proposed vehicular networking systems for intelligent vehicles need network provider and communication towers like cellular communication networks which is both time consuming and costly to implement. Moreover, the mechatronics part, which controls the vehicle is very much different from a traditional intra-vehicular mechanism making it very difficult to convert a regular vehicle, e.g. a car, into an intelligent one. Due to these facts, these overpriced systems are not suitable for the underdeveloped countries where, these are somewhat more needed. In this paper, I have developed a very cheap intelligent system for providing guidance to the driver while driving. This module will not be connected to the hardware directly, which made it an easy-to-install “helper module” for any kind of ground vehicles. However, this module will reduce the accident rate by collecting and analyzing surrounding data, communicating with nearby vehicles (peer to peer) while overtaking and providing continuous guidelines for safe driving. Unlike other systems this could easily be deployed in the underdeveloped countries because of its ultra-low cost.

Real Time Hand Detection & Tracking for Dynamic Gesture Recognition

By Varsha Dixit Anupam Agrawal

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijisa.2015.08.05, Pub. Date: 8 Jul. 2015

In the recent year gesture recognition has become the most intuitive and effective communication technique for human interaction with machines. In this paper we are going to work on hand gesture recognition and interpret the meaning of it from video sequences. Our work takes place in following three phases: 1. Hand Detection & Tracking 2. Feature extraction 3. Gesture recognition. We have started proposed work with first step as applying hand tracking and hand detection algorithm to track hand motion and to extract position of the hand. Trajectory based features are being drawn out from hand and used for recognition process and hidden markov model is being design for each gesture for gesture recognition. Hidden Markov Model is basically a powerful statistical tool to model generative sequences. Our method is being tested on our own data set of 16 gestures and the average recognition rate we have got is 91%. With proposed methodology gives the better recognition results compare with the traditional approaches such as PCA, ANN, SVM, DTW and many more.

Multiobjective Multipath Adaptive Tabu Search for Optimal PID Controller Design

By Deacha Puangdownreong

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijisa.2015.08.07, Pub. Date: 8 Jul. 2015

The multipath adaptive tabu search (MATS) has been proposed as one of the most powerful metaheuristic optimization search techniques for solving the combinatorial and continuous optimization problems. The MATS employing the adaptive tabu search (ATS) as the search core has been proved and applied to various real-world engineering problems in single objective optimization manner. However, many design problems in engineering are typically multiobjective under complex nonlinear constraints. In this paper, the multiobjective multipath adaptive tabu search (mMATS) is proposed. The mMATS is validated against a set of multiobjective test functions, and then applied to design an optimal PID controller of the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) system. As results, the mMATS can provide very satisfactory solutions for all test functions as well as the control application.

Trust Based Resource Selection in Cloud Computing Using Hybrid Algorithm

By V.Suresh Kumar M. Aramudhan

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijisa.2015.08.08, Pub. Date: 8 Jul. 2015

Cloud computing is experiencing rapid advancement in academia and industry. This technology offers distributed, virtualized and elastic resources as utilities for end users and can support full recognition of “computing as a utility” in the future. Scheduling distributes resources among parties which simultaneously and asynchronously seek it. Scheduling algorithms are meant for scheduling and they reduce resource starvation ensuring fairness among those using resources. Most Task-scheduling cloud computing procedures consider task resource requirements for CPU and memory, and not bandwidth. This study suggests optimizing scheduling with BAT-Harmony search hybrid algorithm.
