	abstract = {Nowadays, searching news on social media like Twitter or Facebook is something usual. Any internet users can create a lot of content: posts, comments, and they can also redistribute information with retweet option for example. Nevertheless, a large portion of these pieces of news is fake and its main aim is simply to mislead people. In this case, information credibility on social networks is an increasing important issue. This article develops a method to automatically detect fake news on Twitter by calculating a user credibility. Many approaches uses NLP techniques to analyse the content of tweets to predict the credibility of news. Our approach is based on social context feature; we propose a new feature user credibility. {\textcopyright} 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

	abstract = {Wind farms are integrated with the power grid system to provide active and reactive power. Because in a wind farm, wind turbines (WTs) are highly coupled to their operating conditions, a central wind farm supervisory unit must take into account these conditions when producing power control references for each WT. The aim of this paper is to manage and control the active and reactive power of wind farms based on squirrel cage induction generators and back-to-back converters. The proportional distribution algorithm is used for distributing wind farm power to individual WTs. In addition, we consider the development of a local power management and control units for WTs. This is in order to extract the maximum available power from the wind, and to provide the active and reactive power predetermined by the transmission system operator, or to satisfy the grid code requirements considering Low Voltage Ride-through capability. The power dispatch strategy is to be used on all WTs using the distribution algorithm while ensuring the control loops using the proposed Active Disturbance Rejection Control strategy. The results demonstrate that the proposed strategies are efficient and can guarantee the safe integration of wind farms into the grid while respecting grid code requirements and power system stability. {\textcopyright} 2022, The Author(s).},

	abstract = {Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most severe ocular complication of diabetes. It leads to serious eye complications such as vision impairment and blindness. A computer-aided diagnosis may help in the early detection of this disease, which increases the chances of treating it efficiently. This paper carried out an empirical evaluation of the performances of 28 deep hybrid architectures for an automatic binary classification of the referable diabetic retinopathy, and compared them to seven end-to-end deep learning (DL) architectures. For the hybrid architectures, we combined seven DL techniques for feature extraction (DenseNet201, VGG16, VGG19, MobileNet_V2, Inception_V3, Inception_ResNet_V2 and ResNet50) and four classifiers (SVM, MLP, DT and KNN). For the end-to-end DL architectures, we used the same techniques used for the feature extraction in the hybrid architectures. The architectures were compared in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, precision and F1-score using the Scott Knott test and the Borda count voting method. All the empirical evaluations were over three datasets: APTOS, Kaggle DR and Messidor-2, using a k-fold cross validation method. The results showed the potential of combining deep learning techniques for feature extraction and classical machine learning techniques to classify referable diabetic retinopathy. The hybrid architecture using the SVM classifier and MobileNet_V2 for feature extraction was the top performing architecture and it was classified with the best performing end-to-end architectures in the best clusters of APTOS, Kaggle DR and Messidor-2 datasets with an accuracy equal to 88.80\%, 84.01\% and 84.05\% respectively. Note that the two end-to-end architectures DenseNet201 and MobileNet_V2 outperformed all the hybrid architectures over the three datasets. However, we recommend the use of the hybrid architecture designed with SVM and MobileNet_V2 since it is promising and less time consuming, and requires less parameter tuning compared to the end-to-end techniques. {\textcopyright} 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor \& Francis Group.},

The main problem in classification is the ratio of the correct predictions after training. Feature extraction is the foremost important step to build high-performance image classifiers. The convolution neural networks can extract images{\textquoteright} features that significantly improve the image classifiers{\textquoteright} accuracy. This paper proposes two efficient approaches for remote sensing images classification that utilizes the concatenation of two convolution channels{\textquoteright} outputs as a features extraction using two classic convolution models; these convolution models are the ResNet 50 and the DenseNet 169. These elicited features have been used by the fully connected neural network classifier and support vector machine classifier as input features. The results of the proposed methods are compared with other antecedent approaches in the same experimental environments. Evaluation is based on learning curves plotted during the training of the proposed classifier that is based on a fully connected neural network and measuring the overall accuracy for the both proposed classifiers. The proposed classifiers are used with their trained weights to predict a big remote sensing scene{\textquoteright}s classes for a developed test. Experimental results ensure that, compared with the other traditional classifiers, the proposed classifiers are further accurate. {\textcopyright} 2022 Tech Science Press. All rights reserved.},

	abstract = {With the booming growth of advanced digital technologies, it has become possible for users as well as distributors of energy to obtain detailed and timely information about the electricity consumption of households. These technologies can also be used to forecast the household{\textquoteright}s electricity consumption (a.k.a. the load). In this paper, Variational Mode Decomposition and deep learning techniques are investigated as a way to improve the accuracy of the load forecasting problem. Although this problem has been studied in the literature, selecting an appropriate decomposition level and a deep learning technique providing better forecasting performance have garnered comparatively less attention. This study bridges this gap by studying the effect of six decomposition levels and five distinct deep learning networks. The raw load profiles are first decomposed into intrinsic mode functions using the Variational Mode Decomposition in order to mitigate their non-stationary aspect. Then, day, hour, and past electricity consumption data are fed as a three-dimensional input sequence to a four-level Wavelet Decomposition Network model. Finally, the forecast sequences related to the different intrinsic mode functions are combined to form the aggregate forecast sequence. The proposed method was assessed using load profiles of five Moroccan households from the Moroccan buildings{\textquoteright} electricity consumption dataset (MORED) and was benchmarked against state-of-the-art time-series models and a baseline persistence model. {\textcopyright} 2022 Elsevier Ltd},

	abstract = {Most real-world problems can be pictured as a set of connections and interactions between various entities. Together, these entities create a complex phenomenon investigated in the form of complex networks. Each of the entities in the network plays a particular role in the definition of the structure and the analysis of the studied problem. Several measures of centrality have been proposed in the literature to estimate the contribution and quantify the relevance of network entities. The most influential nodes are defined either locally, via the measurement of their connections with their directly related neighbors, or globally, via the measurement of the importance of their neighbors or their relevance in terms of contribution to the fast propagation of information based on the shortest paths. Due to the incompleteness of real-world data, crisp representations do not adequately describe the problem. Therefore, fuzzy graphs have been proposed to give more realistic representations by taking into account the uncertainties present in data.

In this study, we apply a combination of fuzzy logic and complex network analysis to better understand the dynamic structure of urban traffic networks. When studying the dynamic processes of transportation networks, the exploration of the critical entities plays a crucial role in exploring and analyzing the resilience and management of urban traffic systems. Therefore, we propose measures of flow and travel time variability as well as dynamic road saturation factors to develop fuzzy measures of dynamic centrality. Also, the fuzzy temporal spectral centrality is also considered for this purpose.

	abstract = {Nowadays, electric vehicles (EV) are increasingly penetrating the transportation roads in most countries worldwide. Many efforts are oriented toward the deployment of the EVs infrastructures, including those dedicated to intelligent transportation and electro-mobility as well. For instance, many Moroccan organizations are collaborating to deploy charging stations in mostly all Moroccan cities. Furthermore, in Morocco, EVs are tax-free, and their users can charge for free their vehicles in any station. However, customers are still worried by the driving range of EVs. For instance, a new driving style is needed to increase the driving range of their EV, which is not easy in most cases. Therefore, the need for a companion system that helps in adopting a suitable driving style arise. The driving range depends mainly on the battery{\textquoteright}s capacity. Hence, knowing in advance the battery{\textquoteright}s state-of-charge (SoC) could help in computing the remaining driving range. In this paper, a battery SoC forecasting method is introduced and tested in a real case scenario on Rabat-Sal{\'e}-K{\'e}nitra urban roads using a Twizy EV. Results show that this method is able to forecast the SoC up to 180 s ahead with minimal errors and low computational overhead, making it more suitable for deployment in in-vehicle embedded systems. {\textcopyright} 2022 by the authors.},

Here the solution is using the recommender systems to predict user{\textquoteright}s interests and recommend items most likely to interest them. Recommender systems are utilized in a variety of areas and are most commonly recognized as playlist generators for video and music services, product recommenders for online stores as AliExpress and Amazon.., or content recommenders for social media platforms and open web content recommenders. In this paper, we propose a new powerful recommender system that combines Content Based Filtering (CBF) with the popular unsupervised machine learning algorithm K-means clustering. To recommend items to an active user, K-means is then applied to the movie data to give each movie a specific cluster and after founding the cluster to which the user belongs, the content-based approach applies to all movies with the same cluster. The experimentation of well-known movies, we show that the proposed system satisfies the predictability of the Content-Based algorithm in GroupLens.

Feature selection (FS) is a crucial phase too, because it is intended to increase the efficiency of Machine Learning (ML) models in terms of predictiveness, by assigning a representative value to the most important features in a dataset of malware. In this study, we focus on feature selection using embedded-based methods in order to minimize computational time and complexity of ML models. Embedded-based methods combine advantages of both filter-based and wrapped-based methods, in terms of studying the importance of features while executing the model and their reduced time of execution. Applying ML models shows a high stability of models will selecting 10 most relevant features from the dataset, with an accuracy that achieve 99.47\%, 99.02\% for respectively Random Forest (RF) and XGBoost (XGB). {\textcopyright} 2022 Elsevier B.V..

	abstract = {Automatic key-phrase extraction (AKE) is one of the most popular research topics in the field of natural language processing (NLP). Several techniques were used to extract the key-phrases: statistical, graph-based, classification algorithms, deep learning, and embedding techniques. AKE approaches that use embedding techniques are based on calculating the semantic similarity between a vector representing the document and the vectors representing the candidate phrases. However, most of these methods only give acceptable results in short texts such as abstracts paper, but on the other hand, their performance remains weak in long documents because it is represented by a single vector. Generally, the key phrases of a document are often expressed in certain parts of the document as, the title, the summary, and to a lesser extent in the introduction and the conclusion, and not of the entire document. For this reason, we propose in this paper KP-USE. A method extracts key-phrases from long documents based on the semantic similarity of candidate phrases to parts of the document containing keyphrases. KP-USE makes use of the Universal Sentence Encoder (USE) as an embedding method for text representation. We evaluated the performance of the proposed method on three datasets containing long papers, namely, NUS, Krapivin2009, and SemEval2010, where the results showed its performance outperforms recent AKE methods which are based on embedding techniques. {\textcopyright} 2022.

Specifically, we look at using the One-Step Majority-Logic Decodable (OSMLD) codes at the source and a majority logic decoding algorithm (MLGD) at the destination, jointly with the use of maximal-ratio combining and SWIPT/TS techniques at the relay. Furthermore, the RF link undergoes Nakagami-m model, while the second-hop is subject to M\&$\#$x00E1;laga-M atmospheric turbulence with the effect of pointing errors. Closed-form and asymptotic formulations for the average bit error probability (ABEP) are obtained in terms of the system parameters for both CC and UC scenarios in addition of the average channel capacity analysis. Computer-based Monte Carlo simulations were used to numerically validate all of the obtained mathematical formulations. Expectedly, it is shown that significant coding gains are achieved using OSMLD codes in comparison with UC. In addition, above a specific threshold of energy efficiency, the system performance gets steady in the high signal-to-noise-ratio regime. Moreover, the decoding method used in this work has been shown to be suitable for the SWIPT/TS-assisted RF/FSO coded AF cooperative communication system where high performance alongside low computational complexity are required.

Hence, for a better integration of WECS in the electrical grid and in order to satisfy IEEE 519 standards, WECS must inject a quality power with a rate of total harmonics distortion (THD) that is less than 5\%. Multilevel Inverters are an emerging solution for having a perfect sinusoidal output voltage with minimum harmonic content and lower switching losses than the two-level inverter so that only a smaller filter size is required. Thus, in this paper we are presenting a significantly improved results of the reduction of the grid injected current THD using three types of inverters (two-levels, three-levels NPC, and five-levels H-bridge cascade) for a WECS and comparing the THD performances of using each of the studied inverter.

	abstract = {This paper investigates the intercept probability (IP) performance for a dual-hop multi-secondary user (SU) underlay cognitive-radio networks. Whereby, the relay R is self-powered by harvesting energy from secondary sources using the time switching variant (TS) of simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) protocol. Single-antenna SUs are transmitting data to multi-antennas end-user D, performing maximal-ratio combining (MRC) diversity technique, through R in presence of (i) a primary network composed of a primary transmitter (PUt) and receiver (PUr) pair, and (ii) a passive eavesdropper at each hop (i.e., E1 and E2), attempting to overhear the communication. Moreover, we suppose that the second eavesdropper has multiple antennas and employs the MRC technique, that the relay employs the Decode-and-Forward relaying protocol, that the two hops are subject to the Rayleigh fading model, and that the channel state information is fully known at both D and E2. Because of the underlying strategy, the SUs are constantly modifying their transmit powers to prevent interference with primary users. A closed-form expression of the IP is obtained by taking into consideration the correlation between the secrecy capacities for both hops. The impact of other essential factors on IP, such as the transmit power of sources, the fading severity parameter, and the maximum tolerable interference power (MTIP), is also investigated. Specifically, we want to know if the energy harvester (i.e., relay) might improve the security of such a system even more for low MTIP or transmit power of SUs. Monte Carlo simulations verify all of the obtained results, and valuable insights into the secrecy of the considered system are achieved. IEEE},

However, despite the brilliant side of IoMT, several concerns continue to undercut its adoption. In fact, collecting, transmitting, storing, and using data in IoMT applications raises issues regarding privacy and data protection, especially with the multitude of stakeholders involved during the whole data life cycle. Motivated from these facts, this article is devoted to perform a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of privacy-preserving solutions used in the smart healthcare ecosystem. The recent research papers disseminated between 2017 and 2021 are selected from multiple databases and a standardized SLR method is conducted. A total of 100 papers were reviewed and a critical analysis was conducted on the selected papers. Moreover, this review study attempts to highlight the limitation of the current approaches and aims to find possible solutions to them. Thus, a detailed analysis was carried out on the selected papers in terms of the privacy techniques they deployed, the data life cycle phase they addressed, the stakeholders needs they met, and the privacy principles they covered according to privacy laws and regulations. Finally, we summarize our results showing privacy-preserving trends and identifying recommendations to involve privacy principles coverage in smart healthcare applications. {\textcopyright} 2022 Driss El Majdoubi et al.},

Deep learning (DL) is rapidly becoming the state of the art, leading to enhanced performance in various medical applications such as diabetic retinopathy and breast cancer. In this paper, we conduct an empirical evaluation of seven convolutional neural networks (CNN) architectures for an automatic binary classification of the referable diabetic retinopathy; the DL architectures (Inception_ResNet_V2, Inception_V3, ResNet50, VGG16, VGG19, MobileNet_V2 and DenseNet201) were evaluated and compared in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision and F1-score using the Scott Knott test and the Borda count voting method. All the empirical evaluations were over three datasets: APTOS, Kaggle DR and the Messidor-2, using a k-fold cross validation method. Experiments showed the importance of using deep learning in the classification of DR since the seven models gave a high accuracy values. Furthermore, DenseNet201 and mobileNet_V2 were the top two performing techniques respectively. DenseNet201 provided the best performance for the Kaggle and Messidor-2 datasets with an accuracy equal to 84.74\% and 85.79\% respectively. MobileNet_V2 provided the best performance in the APTOS dataset with an accuracy equal to 93.09\%. As for the ResNet50, Inception_V3 and Inception_ResNet_V2, they were the worst performing compared to the other DL techniques. Therefore, we recommend the use of DenseNet201 and MobileNet_V2 for the detection of the referable DR since they provided the best performances on the three datasets. {\textcopyright} 2021, IUPESM and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.},

	abstract = {Acupuncture is a centuries-old therapeutic technique. However, because of the large number of complicating circumstances, it has been difficult to clearly prove the treatment{\textquoteright}s therapeutic effectiveness. As a result, acupuncture has failed to acquire acceptance in the mainstream clinical sector. An electromyography (EMG) sensor was built and used to test the effcacy of acupuncture in alleviating muscular stiffness in this study. Electrodes, differential and inverting ampliffers, fflters, and a full-wave rectiffer made up the EMG circuit. The output of the circuit was sent to a microcontroller for analog-to-digital transformation in order to perform data acquisition. Acupuncture was used to treat four participants who had muscular dys function in various regions of their bodies in our case study. Before and after the therapy, EMG signals at the damaged regions were recorded. The ffndings revealed that the therapy had no immediate conceivable impact on the patients, since the levels of muscular contraction before and after the treatment were comparable. When the EMG signals were measured 30 minutes after the therapy, signs of muscular alleviation were found. This shows that acupuncture does supply patients with beneffcial medicine, although slowly. The act of placing the highly conducting needles into the acupuncture sites, we believe, is similar to connecting a parallel wire to a circuit, resulting in a short-circuited route at the meridian. It permits the meridian{\textquoteright}s polarized inner energy, or qi, to pass through. The equilibrium in qi regulation can therefore be restored by unclogging the ow of qi.The repair process is relatively slow, and the treatment impact may not be immediately apparent, because the constitutive qualities at the acupuncture points where the needles are pricked may not alter quickly. {\textcopyright} 2021 by the authors.

These networks consist of powerful tools, able to learn and extract high-level features more complex.

This technique has two types of detection: a simple detection that aims to identify a single object in an image, it is a classification problem. And multiple detections that aim not only to identify all the objects in the image but also to find the location of the objects.

It is therefore important to understand factors that may influence cyber risk. In this paper, we highlight the geopolitical context of cyber threats. The key idea is to verify the assumption that cyber threats are correlated to geopolitical events. We use social network techniques to model our problem as a network. We investigate the relationship between cyber threats and geopolitical events through the measure of similarity between two graphs using the QAP-correlation method. To verify this assumption empirically, we use data from the GDELT project. The results of QAP-correlation measure show a significant similarity between the cyber events graph and the geopolitical events graph in terms of graph isomorphism and structure. {\textcopyright} 2021 IEEE.},

The new exact and asymptotic pairwise error probability (PEP) expressions with RHI under ipSIC are derived over Rayleigh fading channels. The asymptotic PEP expression is subsequently utilized to quantify the diversity orders achieved by NOMA users in the presence of RHI. In particular, we show that the effective diversity order of each NOMA user equals to user{\textquoteright}s order for both ideal and non-ideal (RHI) scenarios. Leveraging the derived PEP, the union bound on the bit error rate of NOMA users are further evaluated. We demonstrate that the impact of RHI with ipSIC on each user{\textquoteright}s error rate performance is negligible. In contrast, when perfect SIC is considered, such effects are significant. Numerical and Monte Carlo simulation results are presented to corroborate the analysis. {\textcopyright} 1997-2012 IEEE.},

	note = {cited By 4},
	abstract = {Wind energy is one of the most promising solutions to energy crisis and environmental pollution, so it is being developed rapidly. Wind turbine power curves (WTPCs) play an important role in wind energy assessment, turbine condition monitoring, and power grid dispatching. However, there are two challenges in WTPC modeling: model selection and parameter optimization. Many parametric and non-parametric models have been developed to characterize WTPCs, but none can always perform the best due to the complex wind regimes. In this paper, considering the simple structure and interpretability of model parameters, a set of parametric WTPC models is constructed to adapt to the variability of wind regimes, and the optimal candidate will be selected from the set according to their performances. As to the process of parameter optimization, a novel loss function, which considers the asymmetric error characteristic of WTPC modeling, is proposed, and a hybrid intelligent optimization method named GWO-BSA, which makes full use of the advantages of grey wolf optimizer and backtracking search algorithm, is designed. Finally, a novel WTPC modeling strategy, which combines the candidate model set, error characteristic-based loss function, and GWO-BSA, is proposed to obtain better power curves. Experimental results show that (1) GWO-BSA shows faster convergence speed and higher optimization accuracy than single optimization algorithms; (2) the proposed error characteristic-based loss function has better performance than the commonly used symmetric loss functions; and (3) compared with some popular artificial intelligence-based models, the designed WTPC modeling strategy produces better WTPCs under different wind regimes. {\textcopyright} 2021 Elsevier Ltd},

They are dealing with internal and external changes (gradual or abrupt, frequent or occasional, in the short or long term) that impact various parts of their Enterprise Architecture. To cope with the requirements of this new digital era, agility and adaptation are compulsory. Though Enterprise Architecture (EA) was designed as a catalyst for change management, traditional Enterprise Architecture approaches do not rely on well-defined concepts, lack agility and are constrained by layered architecture (business layer, functional layer, deployment layer, etc.). Thus, a new generation of EA, allowing continuous self-improvement and proactive adaptation to better match the new conditions, is required. In this paper, we explore and investigate some approaches of EA that deal with change management. Then, we, particularly, note the various definitions of the notion of adaptive EA, according to literature. Finally, we suggest some criteria, regarding the adaptation of EA, to highlight the limitations of the approaches analyzed. {\textcopyright} 2020 IEEE.},

	volume = {103},
	year = {2020},
	note = {cited By 8},
	abstract = {We consider an IoT network with energy-harvesting capabilities. To extend the network lifetime, we propose a novel unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)- enabled wireless power transfer (WPT) system, where UAVs move among IoT devices and act as data aggregators and wireless power providers. This paper addresses the decision-making problem since the limited buffer and energy resources constrain all nodes. Each IoT node must decide on whether to request a data transmission, to ask for a wireless energy transfer or to abstain and not take any action. When a UAV receives a request from an IoT device, either for data reception or wireless energy transmission, it has to accept or decline. In this paper, we aim to find a proper packet delivery and energy transfer policy according to the system state that maximizes the data transmission efficiency of the system. We first formulate the problem as a Markov Decision Process (MDP) to tackle the successive decision issues, to optimize a utility for each node upon a casual environment.

	abstract = {We consider an IoT network with energy-harvesting capabilities. To extend the network lifetime, we propose a novel unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)- enabled wireless power transfer (WPT) system, where UAVs move among IoT devices and act as data aggregators and wireless power providers. This paper addresses the decision-making problem since the limited buffer and energy resources constrain all nodes. Each IoT node must decide on whether to request a data transmission, to ask for a wireless energy transfer or to abstain and not take any action. When a UAV receives a request from an IoT device, either for data reception or wireless energy transmission, it has to accept or decline. In this paper, we aim to find a proper packet delivery and energy transfer policy according to the system state that maximizes the data transmission efficiency of the system. We first formulate the problem as a Markov Decision Process (MDP) to tackle the successive decision issues, to optimize a utility for each node upon a casual environment. As the MDP formalism achieves its limits when the interactions between different nodes are considered, we formulate the problem as a Graph-based MDP (GMDP).

	abstract = {In the current decade, cellular networks are facing the challenge of meeting aggressive data demand with limited licensed spectrum and LTE over the unlicensed band (LTE-U) has come as an effective way to defeat this problem. Using LTE-U along with superior techniques such as carrier aggregation (CA), it became possible to boost the performance of existing cellular networks. However, LTE-Ucan potentially deteriorate the performance of coexisting WiFi systems operating over the unlicensed bands if not well managed. Mainly because of the LTE-U{\textquoteright}s selfish nature of using the resources without sharing. In this paper, an effective coexistence mechanism between LTE-U and WiFi systems is being investigated. The point is to facilitate the cellular networks to use LTE-U with CA to satisfy the quality-of-service (QoS) of the users while protecting WiFi users, considering multiple operators in a dense deployment scenario. To resolve this problem, a double cooperative game will be used. That game will be implemented, in addition to the fuzzy logic, which will help us in resource allocation for users QoS. {\textcopyright} 2020 IEEE.},

In this paper, we analyze the UAV-IoT device associations that provide reliable connections with low communication power and load balance the traffic using analytical techniques from game theory. In particular, to maximize the IoT devices{\textquoteright} benefits, a novel framework is proposed to assign them the most suitable UAVs. We formulate the problem as a distributed algorithm that combines notions from matching theory and no-regret learning. First, we develop a many-to-one matching game where UAVs and IoT devices are the players. In this subgame, the players rank one another based on individual utility functions that capture their needs. Each IoT device aims to minimize its transmitting energy while meeting its signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) requirements, and each UAV seeks to maximize the number of served IoT devices while respecting its energy constraints. Second, a non-cooperative game based on no-regret learning is used to determine each IoT device{\textquoteright}s regret. Then, UAVs open a window for transfers to the IoT devices. Simulation results show that the proposed approach provides a low average total transmit power, ensures fast data transmission and optimal utilization of the UAVs{\textquoteright} bandwidth. {\textcopyright} 2017 IEEE.},

	abstract = {A novel and robust active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) strategy for variable speed wind turbine systems using a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is presented in this paper. The DFIG is directly connected to the main utility grid by stator, and its rotor is connected through a back-to-back three phase power converter (AC/DC/AC). Due to the acoustic nature of wind and to ensure capturing maximum energy, a control strategy to extract the available maximum power from the wind turbine by using a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm is presented. Moreover, a pitch actuator system is used to control the blades{\textquoteright} pitch angle of the wind turbine in order to not exceed the wind turbine rated power value in case of strong wind speeds. Furthermore, the rotor-side converter is used to control the active and reactive powers generated by the DFIG. However, the grid-side converter is used to control the currents injected into the utility grid as well as to regulate the DC-link voltage. This paper aims to study and develop two control strategies for wind turbine system control: Classical control by proportional integral (PI) and the proposed linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC). The main purpose here is to compare and evaluate the dynamical performances and sensitivity of these controllers to the DFIG parameter variation. Therefore, a series of simulations were carried out in the MATLAB/Simulink environment, and the obtained results have shown the effectiveness of the proposed strategy in terms of efficiency, rapidity, and robustness to internal and external disturbances. {\textcopyright} 2020 Hammadi Laghridat et al.},

This could be done by including the presence of occupants, number, actions, and behaviors in up-to-date context, taking into account the complex interlinked elements, situations, processes, and their dynamics. However, many studies have shown that occupancy information is a major leading source of uncertainty when developing control approaches. Comprehensive and real-time fine-grained occupancy information has to be, therefore, integrated in order to improve the performance of occupancy-driven control approaches. The work presented in this paper is toward the development of a holistic platform that combines recent IoT and Big Data technologies for real-time occupancy detection in smart building. The purpose of this work focuses mainly on the presence of occupants by comparing both static and dynamic machine learning techniques. An open-access occupancy detection dataset was first used to assess the usefulness of the platform and the effectiveness of static machine learning strategies for data processing. This dataset is used for applications that follow the strategy aiming at storing data first and processing it later. However, many smart buildings{\textquoteright} applications, such as HVAC and ventilation control, require online data streams processing. Therefore, a distributed real-time machine learning framework was integrated into the platform and tested to show its effectiveness for this kind of applications. Experiments have been conducted for ventilation systems in energy-efficient building laboratory (EEBLab) and preliminary results show the effectiveness of this platform in detecting on-the-fly presence of occupants, which is required to either make ON or OFF the system and then activate the corresponding embedded control technique (eg, ON/OFF, PID, state-feedback). {\textcopyright} 2019 John Wiley \& Sons, Ltd.},

	abstract = {The estimation of inhalation flow rate (IFR) using acoustic devices has recently received attention. While existing work often assumes that the microphone is placed at a fixed distance from the acoustic device, this assumption does not hold in real settings. This leads to poor estimation of the IFR since the received acoustic energy varies significantly with the distance. Despite the fact that the acoustic source is passive and only one microphone is used, we show in this paper that the distance can be estimated by exploiting the inhaler actuation sound, generated when releasing the medication. Indeed, this sound is used as a reference acoustic signal which is leveraged to estimate the distance in real settings. The resulting IFR estimation is shown to be highly accurate (R2 = 80.3\%). {\textcopyright} 2020 IEEE.},

	abstract = {Social Customer Relationship Management (social CRM) has become one of the central points for many companies seeking to improve their customer experience. It comprises a set of processes that allows decision-makers to analyze customer data in order to launch an efficient customer-centric and cost-effective marketing strategy. However, targeting all potential customers with one general marketing strategy seems to be inefficient. While targeting each potential customer with a specific strategy can be cost demanding. Thus, it is essential to group customers into specific classes and target each class according to its respective customer needs. In this paper, we develop a Random Forest- based approach to classify potential customers into three main categories namely, prospects, satisfied and unsatisfied customers. The proposed model has been trained, tested, and compared to some state-of-the-art classifiers viz., Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) based on several metrics including accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, false positive rate, and false negative rate. The reported results were satisfactory with an accuracy of 98.46\%, a sensitivity of 97.69\%, and a specificity of 98.84\%. {\textcopyright} 2020 IEEE.},

Performance analysis of the proposed scheme is based on several metrics such as fault tolerance, scalability, energy consumption and storage overhead.

	abstract = {Automobile manufacturers around the world are increasingly deploying Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices in their factories to accompany the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Security and privacy are the main limitations to the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) into industrial processes. Therefore, it is necessary to protect industrial data contained in IIoT devices and keep them confidential. As a step towards this direction, in this paper, we propose a dynamic trust management model suitable for industrial environments. We propose also to change the traditional centralized architecture of IIoT networks in automotive plants into a hybrid architecture based on a set of new industrial relationship rules. The performance evaluation in this work is done in two parts. In the first part, we compare our proposed architecture with the traditional architecture of the plant{\textquoteright}s IIoT network. The results of this comparison show that our architecture is more suitable to simplify trust management of IIoT devices. In the second part, we demonstrated the ability, the adaptiveness and the resiliency of our proposed trust model against behavioral changes of IIoT nodes in malicious environments. {\textcopyright} 2005-2012 IEEE.},

These learning convolution models are based on the use of the ImageNet pre-trained weights, transfer learning, and then adding a full connected layer that compatible with the used dataset classes. There are two datasets are used in this comparison; the UC Merced land use dataset and the SIRI-WHU dataset. This comparison is based on the inspection of the learning curves to determine how well the training model is and calculating the overall accuracy that determines the model performance. This comparison illustrates that the use of the ResNet 50 model has the highest overall accuracy and the use of the NASNet Mobile model has the lowest overall accuracy in this study.

Different fingerprint systems store personal information without any security. Hence, an attacker can easily have access to the identity of legitimate user. In order to secure these applications against different threats, several protection approaches have been proposed as alternative solution. In this paper, we propose a new approach for fingerprint template protection based on the fingerprint features transformation. In this context, we proposed a new indexation approach named {\textquoteleft}Hierarchical Identification and Protection Approach Based on Delaunay Triangulation{\textquoteright}, based on the topological transformation of minutia points. First, we applied the Delaunay triangulation as a matching method. Then we introduced the barycenter notion, which applied on the similar extracted triangle. This hierarchical meaner of triangulation improve the performance and the security of fingerprint systems. Driven experimental results show the ability of the proposed approach to preserve the performance and the security of biometric authentication systems. {\textcopyright} Research India Publications.},

	abstract = {Context: Software systems are often too complex to be expressed by a single model. Recognizing this, the Model Driven Engineering (MDE) proposes multi-modeling approaches to allow developers to describe a system from different perspectives. In this context, model composition has become important since the combination of those partial representations is inevitable. Nevertheless, no approach has been defined for keeping track of the composition effects, and this operation has been overshadowed by model transformations. Objective This paper presents a traceability approach dedicated to the composition of models. Two aspects of quality are considered: producing relevant traces; and dealing with scalability. Method The composition of softgoal trees has been selected to motivate the need for tracing the composition of models and to illustrate our approach. The base principle is to augment the specification of the composition with the behavior needed to generate the expected composed model accompanied with a trace model. This latter includes traces of the execution details. For that, traceability is considered as a crosscutting concern and encapsulated in an aspect. As part of the proposal, an Eclipse plug-in has been implemented as a tool support. Besides, a comparative experiment has been conducted to assess the traces relevance. We also used the regression method to validate the scalability of the tool support. Results Our experiments show that the proposed approach allows generating relevant traces. In addition, the obtained results reveal that tracing a growing number of elements causes an acceptable increase of response time. Conclusion This paper presents a traceability approach dedicated to the composition of models and its application to softgoal trees. The experiment results reveal that our proposal considers the composition specificities for producing valuable traceability information while supporting scalability. {\textcopyright} 2017 Elsevier B.V.},

	abstract = {With proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) applications, it is expected that 50 billion connected devices will be operating amongst us by 2020, so the normal authentication mechanism will be a big issue to handle to avoid causing a serious burden to server. As it is known, some devices could share the same characteristics such as the same geographical area, the same features. In this case, these devices could be in the same group and the group will be identify by an identity. Taking advantages from this mechanism, all devices can be authenticated at the same time using the group identity. Among group authentication issues are if a member device of the group cannot authenticate with the distributor of the group intentionally or unintentionally, the group loses its identity. This loss of identity causes the authentication failure of the other group devices. To solve this issue in IoT a fault tolerance scheme introduced for the group authentication architecture. Our algorithm of fault tolerance allows reconstructing the group authentication identity despite the lack of broken devices of the group. Indeed, reconstructing the group identity can be performed by using multi-secret sharing scheme based on an error correcting codes if a sufficient number of the group devices are available. {\textcopyright} Springer International Publishing AG 2017.},

Experiments performed on many benchmark functions show that our proposed scheme outperforms other SA variants in term of quality of solutions. {\textcopyright} 2016 IEEE.},

	abstract = {Nowadays systems involve many business domains and are consequently designed by teams of experts with different concerns. Every team uses its Domain Specific Language (DSL) to elaborate heterogeneous models describing different parts of the same system. These heterogeneous models need to be coordinated and integrated, to get a whole view of the system, to ease its validation and to uncover inconsistencies between heterogeneous models. However, many approaches and ways of integration has been already explored, one of important approach among them is coordination between DSLs instead of models, doing so coordination became automatic instead of being manual and tailored to every instance of models. Actually, this work fits in this class by giving a classification of DSLs relationships and their respective operators used to resolve DSLs heterogeneity. Moreover, in this paper we consider coordination as a separate role to be given to DSLs meta-classes responsible of coordination. Explicitly, these meta-classes need to override operations defined in the proposed coordination meta-model. As illustrative example, we present a telecommunication network supervision system where two different DSL are involved. {\textcopyright} 2017 IEEE.},

However, gathering and real-time processing of relevant information is still a challenging task. Complex-event processing (CEP) techniques and predictive analytics have been recently proposed for analyzing streaming data in real-time in order to generate fast insights and then take suitable actions according to the environment changes. The work presented in this paper focuses mainly on the performance evaluation of three CEP engines widely used by researchers for semantic and physical streaming data processing. Experiments have been conducted using existing benchmark tools and results are reported to shed more light on the performance these engines for stream data processing. {\textcopyright} 2016 IEEE.},

A set of Identity Management Systems exist to deal with these identities, in order to improve users{\textquoteright} experience and gain secure access. Today we are faced with a large number of heterogeneous identity management approaches. In our study we treated several systems, among those, we present isolated model, centralized model, federated model and user centric model. The federated system makes proof of it eligibility for the identity management, therefore, we were interested in the federated model, which consist on the sharing of digital identity between different security domains , based on an agreement between the entities in communication. The Federated Identity Management (FIM) faces the problem of interoperability between heterogeneous identity federation systems. This study present a use case of interoperability among SAML and WS-Federation. We propose an approach that will permit to inter-operate heterogeneous federation systems and allow the exchange of identity data between them. {\textcopyright} 2017 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).},

Nevertheless, to find constructive families of these codes has been recognized to be a hard job. Also, the majority of known MLD codes are cyclic which are limited in the range of the rates. In this paper a new adaptation of the Iterative threshold decoding algorithm is considered, for decoding Quasi-Cyclic One Step Majority logic codes (QC-OSMLD) codes of high rates. We present the construction of QC-OSMLD codes based on Singer difference sets of rate 1/2, and codes of high rates based on Steiner triple system which allows to have a large choice of codes with different lengths and rates. The performances of this algorithm for decoding these codes on both Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel and Rayleigh fading channel, to check its applicability in wireless environment, is investigated.},

	abstract = {With rapid expansion of wireless ad hoc networks and their interactions with wired networks together with the use of location-based services and the deployment of mobile and wearable sensor devices, it is now possible to develop context aware applications such as those in healthcare and transportation. These applications could react to the environment changes and users{\textquoteright} preference with the main aim is to make their life more comfortable according to their locations, current time and situations. However, handling context changes according to current data and events is a difficult task without supporting tools. Therefore, a platform that includes real-time event/data acquisition and processing is required. In this paper, we first survey existing work related to event processing and big data technologies by highlighting current challenges related to real-time data processing. We then introduce a context-aware platform that merges different technologies such as service oriented architecture, complex-event processing (CEP) tools, and big data technologies. A sample context-aware application for energy efficient buildings control is presented to highlight the different components of the platform and their interactions.},

However, the use of information technology in automatic correction of spelling errors has become increasingly essential. In this context, we have developed a system for correcting spelling errors in the Arabic language based on language models and Levenshtein algorithm. The metric distance returned by the Levenshtein algorithm is often the same for multiple solutions in correcting a wrong word. To overcome this limitation we have added a weighting based on language models. This combination has helped us to screen and refine the results obtained in advance by the Levenshtein algorithm, and applied to the errors of Arabic words. The results are encouraging and demonstrate the value of this approach. {\textcopyright} Technomathematics Research Foundation.},

CADSSO is organized in two stages: the modeling stage and the code generation stage. It is essentially based on the Domain Specific Modeling (DSM) approach. Indeed, the creation of the five models of the modeling stage is done using Domain Specific Languages (DSLs). The first model is Domain Specific Context Model, it represents the service execution context. The second is Domain Specific Service Model, it allows the services modeling. We also have the Service Variability Model which is used in the service variability modeling. The bond between Service Variability Model and Domain Specific Service Model is provided by Adaptation rules model. Finally, specific domain business modeling is done via domain specific business model. At code generation stage, a specific code generator transform all these models to final source code using a framework specifically designed for a given target platform. {\textcopyright} 2005 - 2015 JATIT \& LLS.

In this context, designers need mechanisms to validate, synchronize and understand interactions between those perspectives. Model composition deals with these issues but remains a complex task. For these reasons, we believe that a strong traceability mechanism is a key factor to handle relationships between models and manage the complexity of the composition operation. This paper describes a generic approach to keep track of the model composition operation. We also define a traces generation process to adapt our proposal to any specific composition language.

This metric will be integrate in the selection process of MPRs to improve QoS in Manets networks. The unpredictable mobility and the large quantity of generated traffic by each node interface make communication in network increasingly difficult to manage. Thus, routing protocols need to be adapted to such conditions. In order to make OLSR protocol more robust, piercing and more adaptable to the conditions dictated by the environment of each node, this study proposes a polymorphic metric that changes depending on the network behavior. This metric aims to make the OLSR protocol best suited to each zone. Many simulations would be undergone by NS2 to test and prove the validity of this new metric in environments with high mobility and quantity of traffic. {\textcopyright} Maxwell Scientific Organization, 2015.},

The energy criterion is one of the most important of these parameters that will provide a long lifetime for a given MANET. This paper proposes a new clustering algorithm for the OLSR routing protocol which consumes less energy and enhances transmission delay. This algorithm manages nodes density and mobility; and gives major improvements regarding the number of elected clusters Head. We have conducted some comparison with other clustering algorithms to prove the efficiency of our algorithm. Our main objective is to elect a reasonable number of clusters Head that will serve for hierarchical routing using OLSR as a routing protocol. The second objective is to increase the network lifetime by considering the Ad hoc residual energy when taking routing decisions. We have found that our algorithm optimize the end to end delay by adopting a selective forwarding approach based on the hierarchical routing model},

Domain Specific Modeling approach is essentially characterized by raising the level of abstraction and full code generation. In fact, a Domain Specific Language is semantically strong since it directly uses concepts and rules from a specific problem domain. In addition, concentrating on a narrow domain increases considerably the ability to automate the generation of the final solution from the domain-specific models. Throughout our research we have noticed a formalism lack of Domain Specific Software Development (DSSD) process. We propose in this paper a DSSD process formalism to guide the development of domain specific solutions. This process defines the phases, artifacts and roles required to specify and implement domain specific solutions. {\textcopyright} 2015 IEEE.},

For this purpose, we achieved a semantic-relatedness clustering to group definitions that share the same meaning. {\textcopyright} 2014 IEEE.},

However, process-centered software engineering environments (PSEE) have traditionally been designed to exploit integration facilities in other tools, while offering themselves little to no such facilities. This is in line with the vision of the PSEE as the central orchestrator of project support tools. We argue that this view has hindered the widespread adoption of process-based collaboration support tools by incurring too much adoption and switching costs. We propose a new process-based collaboration support architecture, backed by a process metamodel, that can easily be integrated with existing tools. The proposed architecture revolves around the central concepts of {\textquoteright}deep links{\textquoteright} and {\textquoteright}hooks{\textquoteright}. Our approach is validated by analyzing a collection of open-source projects, and integration utilities based on the implemented process model server have been deve},

	abstract = {Wireless sensor network has recently become an area of attractive research interest. It consists of low-cost, low power, and energy-constrained sensors responsible for monitoring a physical phenomenon and reporting to sink node where the end-user can access the data. Saving energy and therefore extending the wireless sensor network lifetime, involves great challenges. For these purposes, clustering techniques are largely used. Using many empirical successes of spectral clustering methods, we propose a new algorithm that we called Spectral Classification for Robust Clustering in Wireless Sensor Networks (SCRC-WSN). This protocol is a spectral partitioning method using graph theory technics with the aim to separate the network in a fixed optimal number of clusters. The cluster{\textquoteright}s nodes communicate with an elected node called cluster head, and then the cluster heads communicate the information to the base station. Defining the optimal number of clusters and changing dynamically the cluster head election probability are the SCRC-WSN strongest characteristics. In addition our proposed protocol is a centralized one witch take into account the node{\textquoteright}s residual energy to define the cluster heads. We studied the impact of node density on the robustness of the SCRC-WSN algorithm as well as its energy and its lifetime gains. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm increases the lifetime of a whole network and presents more energy efficiency distribution compared to the Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) approach and the Centralized LEACH (LEACH-C)one. {\textcopyright} 2013 IEEE.},

To address this issue, several research projects have been launched during the last decade and have resulted in a set of frameworks which help organizing and performing enterprise interoperability projects efficiently. In addition to these frameworks, many metrics have been also developed to measure the interoperability degree between systems. However, these frameworks and metrics are not sufficient to better control execution of these projects. Indeed, they don{\textquoteright}t take into account resource management and unanticipated events or situations that can be encountered during execution. Moreover, there is a real lack in methodologies to deal with this situation. The aim of this paper is to introduce a new approach to control interoperability improvement projects execution by using control theory, project planning theory and a specific quantitative interoperability metric RatIop.},

The Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol is a one key of the proactive routing protocols for MANETs. It is based on the multi-point relays (MPRs) technique to reach all nodes in the network with a limited number of broadcasts. In this paper, we propose new version of the original OLSR protocol based on a new density parameter, in the goal to enhance and adapt it in the presence of the mobility. Also we will analyze and compare the performance of protocols based on a density criterion (Di1OLSR \& D2iOLSR), mobility criterion (MobOLSR) and OLSR standard using NS-2 network simulator.},

Those local discovered workflow patterns are then composed iteratively until discovering the global workflow model. Our approach has been implemented within our prototype WorkflowMiner.},
