A typical robotic system includes a few key components, which are motor, speed reducer, drive, controller, power supply, and mechanical frame, in both robot manipulators and/or mobile robots (wheeled or legged). While all the components are necessary, three individuals are critical and stand out, which are speed reducer, motor, and battery (especially Lithium-ion battery), respectively. The reason...
HidroMORE software was developed in the Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) section from the University of Castilla-la Mancha to extend the Evapotranspiration assessment to a regional scale, implementing the FAO-56 methodology and the assimilation of the basal crop coefficient from Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) images calculated from satellite images. However, when...
String matching problems such as sequence alignment is one of the fundamental problems in many computer since fields such as natural language processing (NLP) and bioinformatics. Many algorithms have been proposed in the literature to address this problem. Some of these algorithms compute the edit distance between the two strings to perform the matching. However, these algorithms usually require long...
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that applies techniques from computer science, statistics and engineering to guide in the study of large biological data. Protein structure and sequence analysis is very important in bioinformatics mainly in understanding cellular processes which helps in simplifying the development of drugs for metabolic pathways. Protein sequence alignment is a technique...
Graphene, which is considered to be an infinitely thin two-dimension material, is a very promising optoelectronic material and has received much attention due to its outstanding electrical and optical properties. This paper describes an efficient message-passing interface (MPI) parallel implementation of the finite difference time domain (FDTD) algorithm for modeling infinite Graphene sheet simulations...
Live virtual machine (VM) migration is defined as a technique that migrates the entire operating system (OS) and its associated applications from one host/physical server to another providing that users should not notice any interruption in their services. Live VM migration plays an important role to facilitate online maintenance, load balancing, and energy management as part of resource management...
The need to exchange large amounts of information in all fields especially in the automotive one, with minimal space requirements, weight, complexity of conjunction and cost, perform the development of several automotive networks such as Local Interconnect Network (LIN), Controller Area Network (CAN), Time Triggered Protocol (CAN) and FlexRay. The CAN is currently the most used, but it has many limits...
Automatic indoor human tracking has attracted noticeable research concern recently due to the increasing demands for enhancing the majority of the offered services within smart home environment. Many human tracking approaches have been suggested and discussed. However, the problem of reliable human tracking remains untackled. The aim of this paper is to develop and implement an advanced tracking approach...
Recently, Arab and Muslim researchers have given a great attention to retrieve information and search about knowledge in the noble Quran. During the past years a lot of websites and applications offered a number of methods to search throughout the noble Quran, some offered a syntactic search, others offered a semantic search and some others offered both. The noble Quran has a special style and metaphorical...
The typical approach to designing embedded systems manages the specification and design of the hardware and software separately. HW/SW Co-design is used, in embedded computing, to allow the hardware and the software to be designed and implemented together and make sure that the non-functional properties are met. Behavior-driven development (BDD) is an agile software development approach that spurs...
Business Intelligence aims at providing information to non expert users to make appropriate decisions. To access decisional information, the decision maker should express his/her requirements in Natural Language interfaces instead of technical languages, to avoid IT designer dependency and formal language's unfamiliarity. A Natural Language query is formulated according to several types such as WH-questions...
Current research, in Natural Language Processing, shows more interest in the under-resourced languages, during last years. Amazigh language is the autochthon language of North Africa. However, until 2011 that it became a constitutionally official language in Morocco, after years of persecution. Amazigh language is still considered as one of the under resourced languages. The question is: “how can...
