Internet of things (IoT) is technology that connected anything and everything to the Internet. IoT is the newest technology rapidly widen in its usage. This technology brings new products such as disaster monitoring. Flood disaster is the main concern in Malaysia because every year there are flood occurred. We can use this technology to do monitoring activity that people are not able to do it in 24...
Vigorous repetitive motion can damage the wrist and tend to affect patient's daily life. Thus, patient needs to see therapist to undergo rehabilitation treatment. This research proposes a rehabilitation device to help patients with wrist problem to do rehabilitation treatment at home without therapist assistance. The device uses a single hand pedal mechanism that contains an accelerometer to measure...
Recently, cloud computing have been witnessing high deployment rate of large scale scientific and business applications, this is due to the on-demand provisioning of shared pool of computational resources like networks, storage, and servers, it offers. Each of these applications is made up of various tasks whose execution determine the overall performance of the application. Task scheduling problem...
Today, with the rapid development of information technology in all areas of life, a large amount of information is created every second. In recent years, many network topologies have been proposed to find the most effective communication method. The folded hypercube is one of those networks, which is a variant of the hypercube, which is one of the most popular topologies for interconnection networks...
This paper presents the usability study of a cooking application, KitchenGeek with a wearable device, Smart M between two user groups, beginner and intermediate cookers to test if the application and device lowers the gap of time taken for both of the user groups to complete the cooking tasks. The results of this paper indicates that KitchenGeek and Smart M did lower the gap of time taken for task...
In biology, there is a research field ‘bioinformatics’ in which computers are used as a method for problem solving. Bioinformatics includes a topic that is related to the analysis of genetic information. To analyze genetic information, a homology search is used. The homology search detects similar parts of two base sequences. The Smith-Waterman algorithm is one of the most famous approaches for a...
To realize information system for reducing the traffic congestion, it is important to analyze the relationship between traffic congestion and route choice decision of each mobile object. In this paper, we show the characteristics of density clusters including percolation threshold in connection with route choice decision from analysis of simulation results on 100 × 100 non-diluted periodical square...
Flood, either flash flood or monsoon flood is one of the disasters that occur in Malaysia annually. A document called Directive 20 has been issued by the Malaysian Government to guide all related agencies to manage any disasters including flood, effectively. The aim is to promote coordination among the parties involved and to share any related flood information which may lead to a better decision...
Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) has witnessed significant attention from academia and industries, due to the growing number of applications and devices focusing on safety and efficiency in transportation. Video Streaming in Vehicular Communication (VSVC) presents interactive real-time view of an emergency incidence on roads. On-board unit of vehicles are utilized for streaming real time video of...
A plethora of disorders are found in human oral mucosa. A variety and huge number of lesions and diseases in human oral mucosa have been clinically identified and classified. Most lesions have the possibility to develop into oral cancer. The initial diagnosis of oral cancer is to inspect the ocular regions carefully and register the oral cavity of the patient as true-color digital images. The decision...
In Malaysia, entomological surveillance is locally applied to effectively monitor, prevent and control the dengue disease outbreaks. The team of Entomology and Pest Unit (EPU) from the State Health Office of Ministry of Health is the local division that is responsible to perform the dengue monitoring operational tasks. Nevertheless, the EPU team members are currently using the conventional and manual...
The South China Sea holds some portion of a fundamental course for oceanic exchange and transport for East Asia and Southeast Asia States and their trading accomplices in Asia, Africa, and beyond. Due to its potential as important shipping lane, exploitation of oil and natural gas deposits, and marine production, there has been a dispute between countries for the South China Sea. Therefore, this research...
Big Data has rapidly boomed into a hot topic that attracts attention from governments, academia, and industry around the world. Furthermore, the rapid development of Internet, Internet of Things, and Machine To Machine Communication has led to an extensive growth of data whether in industry or business area. This paper provided discussion about the definition, the characteristics of Big Data and important...
In today's IT industry, cloud computing has become trending and a driving force. Many services are offered by IT vendors and supported by service level agreements and uptime assurance such as storage services, computations and hosting services covering multiple continents. One of the challenging issues is to have efficient task scheduling algorithm for cloud computing. Particle Swarm Optimization...
Mobile Crowdsensing s a new sensing paradigms which bring the revolutionary advance in crowdsourcing application. Although there are many possibilities in crowd sensing application, motivation and incentive is a critical issue when the devices have very limited resources (e.g., energy and storage capacity) or the information revealed is highly sensitive. In this research, we design a motivation model...
