An arabic ontology-based learning system for children with intellectual challenges
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Children with intellectual challenges (IC) are growing up with extensive exposure to computer technology. Computer software and assistive devices have the potential to help these children in education, career development, ...
A finite state hidden markov model for predicting multistage attacks in cloud systems
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Cloud computing significantly increased the security threats because intruders can exploit the large amount of cloud resources for their attacks. However, most of the current security technologies do not provide early ...
Outage analysis of hybrid FSO/RF systems based on finite-state Markov chain modeling
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we analyze the outage probability of a hybrid free-space optical/radio-frequency (FSO/RF) communication system with soft-switching. In soft-switching approach, either one of the links or both links can be ...
Energy-efficient cloud resource management
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
We propose a resource management framework that reduces energy consumption in cloud data centers. The proposed framework predicts the number of virtual machine requests along with their amounts of CPU and memory resources, ...
Adolescents Surveillance System for Obesity in Europe. A pioneering project to prevent obesity in Italy using e-technology: the ASSO Project Adolescence Surveillance System for Obesity Prevention
(
IADIS
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Adolescents’ obesity is a major concern in our modern life; it could lead to significant increase in the rate of obese in the
future generations and consequently the health budget. The ASSO Project in Italy (Adolescence ...
Double EWMA-Based Polynomial Quality Profiles Monitoring
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Profile monitoring is useful whenever the quality is described by a relationship between a response and one or more of explanatory variables. It is conventional to refer to this relationship as Quality Profile. Despite the ...
Uncovering responses of zooplankton community to CO2 acidification in Qatar coastal waters
(
Hamad Bin Khalifa University Press
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The combustion of fossil fuels is pushing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) to unprecedented levels. This rapid increase in atmospheric CO2 is causing global changes, with noticeable increases in temperature, ...
A new permanent-magnet vernier machine using a single layer winding layout for electric vehicles
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Permanent magnet (PM) vernier machines have shown promise in electric vehicle applications as they offer high torque density and low speed/high torque operation by introducing flux-modulation poles that modulate the ...
Closed-loop control of anesthesia and mean arterial pressure using reinforcement learning
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
General anesthesia is required for patients undergoing surgery as well as for some patients in the intensive care units with acute respiratory distress syndrome. How-ever, most anesthetics affect cardiac and respiratory ...
Passive pre-cooling potential for reducing building air-conditioning loads in hot climates
(
American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
A major source of energy consumption in the building sector is the extensive use of Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems to meet the rising demands for indoor comfort. Advancements in reducing cooling ...
