A context-aware approach for long-term behavioural change detection and abnormality prediction in ambient assisted living
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
This research aims to describe pattern recognition models for detecting behavioural and health-related changes in a patient who is monitored continuously in an assisted living environment. The early anticipation of anomalies ...
A Fatigue Measuring Protocol for Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2015 , Article)
As players and soldiers preform strenuous exercises and do difficult and tiring duties, they are usually the common victims of muscular fatigue. Keeping this in mind, we propose FAtigue MEasurement (FAME) protocol for ...
Energy in smart grid: Strategies and technologies for efficiency enhancement
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Incorporating advanced software and hardware technologies, to create a two way electricity and information flow, is forming the concept of the smart grid (SG). In an SG the energy delivery and control not only autonomous ...
Optimum power and rate allocation in cluster based video sensor networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In a wireless video sensor network (WVSN), each video sensor node consumes a significant amount of power on video compression in addition to the required power for communication. Therefore, the power optimization is a more ...
A kernelized sparsity-based approach for best spectral bands selection for face recognition
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Article)
We study face recognition in unconstrained illumination conditions. A twofold contribution is proposed: First, the robustness of four state-of-the-art algorithms, namely Multi-block Local Binary Pattern (MBLBP), Histogram ...
Teaching "design-for-corrosion" to engineering undergraduates: A case study of novel Ni-B coatings for high wear and corrosive applications
(
IGI Global
, 2015 , Book chapter)
This chapter briefly describes the challenges and developments in the field of corrosion focusing on the subject of materials science. A brief introduction was provided on corrosion damage and the importance of its prevention. ...
An IV-SVM-based approach for identification of state-space LPV models under generic noise conditions
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a nonparametric identification method for state-space linear parameter-varying (LPV) models using a modified support vector machine (SVM) approach. While most LPV identification schemes in the state-space ...
ACPN: A novel authentication framework with conditional privacy-preservation and non-repudiation for VANETs
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2015 , Article)
In Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANETs), authentication is a crucial security service for both inter-vehicle and vehicle-roadside communications. On the other hand, vehicles have to be protected from the misuse of their ...
Mobile application security: Malware threats and defenses
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Due to the quantum leap in functionality, the rate of upgrading traditional mobile phones to smartphones is tremendous. One of the most attractive features of smartphones is the availability of a large number of apps for ...
Selective harmonic elimination for quasi seven-level operation of cascaded-type multilevel converters with unequal DC sources
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Generally, selective harmonic elimination (SHE) complexity for multilevel converters increases with the increase in number of levels. In this paper, an approach for multilevel converters' SHE is introduced. This approach ...
