Author 1: Hossein Mahjub Author 2: Shahrbanoo Goli Author 3: Javad Faradmal Author 4: Ali-Reza Soltanian

Desirable features of support vector regression (SVR) models have led to researchers extending them to survival problems. In current paper we evaluate and compare performance of different SVR models and the Cox model using simulated and real data sets with different characteristics. Several SVR models are applied: 1) SVR with… Read full abstract & cite →

Data Security Using Cryptography and Steganography Techniques

Author 1: Marwa E. Saleh Author 2: Abdelmgeid A. Aly Author 3: Fatma A. Omara

Although cryptography and steganography could be used to provide data security, each of them has a problem. Cryptography problem is that, the cipher text looks meaningless, so the attacker will interrupt the transmission or make more careful checks on the data from the sender to the receiver. Steganography problem is… Read full abstract & cite →

An Auction-Bidding Protocol for Distributed Bit Allocation in RSSI-based Localization Networks

Author 1: Ahmad A. Ababneh

Several factors (e.g., target energy, sensor density) affect estimation error at a point of interest in sensor networks. One of these factors is the number of allocated bits to sensors that cover the point of interest when quantization is employed. In this paper, we investigate bit allocation in such networks… Read full abstract & cite →

Author 1: Muhammad Rafi Author 2: Muhammad Naveed Sharif Author 3: Waleed Arshad Author 4: Habibullah Rafay

Document clustering is an unsupervised machine learning method that separates a large subject heterogeneous collection (Corpus) into smaller, more manageable, subject homogeneous collections (clusters). Traditional method of document clustering works around extracting textual features like: terms, sequences, and phrases from documents. These features are independent of each other and do… Read full abstract & cite →

Scheduling on Heterogeneous Multi-core Processors Using Stable Matching Algorithm

Author 1: Muhammad Rehman Zafar Author 2: Muhammad Asfand-e-Yar

Heterogeneous Multi-core Processors (HMP) are better to schedule jobs as compare to homogenous multi-core processors. There are two main factors associated while analyzing both architectures i.e. performance and power consumption. HMP incorporates cores of various types or complexities in a solitary chip. Hence, HMP is capable to address both throughput… Read full abstract & cite →
