	abstract = {Background: The rapid increase in the use of agile development has raised the question whether of the aerospace industry can benefit from the application of agile approaches in the production of software for airborne systems and equipment. These systems are regulated by the standard DO-178 since there are hard constraints imposed on them. Additionally, the evolution of the avionics software increases the complexity of the software. Therefore, the approach to the feasibility of agile development for avionics software needs to be further understood. Objective: This study aims to examine the research publications on the agile development implemented in the lifecycle of the avionic software in order to found the trend of this mode of development. Method: We conducted systematic mapping study adopting the guideline offered by [1, 2] and classified the contributions research between 2001 and 2021 in the map. Conclusion: We selected 46 articles from 956 found in four electronic databases and based on the results, we conclude that over the past decade there has been a general increase in the number of studies concerning the agile development in different phases of the avionics software lifecycle. {\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 = {Breast cancer (BC) is the most common diagnosed cancer type and one of the top leading causes of death in women worldwide. The early diagnosis of this type of cancer is the main driver of high survival rate. This paper aims to use homogenous ensemble learning and transfer learning for binary classification of BC histological images over the four-magnification factor (MF) values of the BreakHis dataset: 40X, 100X, 200X, and 400X. The proposed ensembles are implemented using a hybrid architecture (HA) that combines: (1) three of the most recent deep learning (DL) techniques as feature extractors (FE): DenseNet_201, Inception_V3, and MobileNet_V2, and (2) the boosting method AdaBoost with Decision Tree (DT) as a base learner. The study evaluated and compared: the ensembles designed with the same HA but with different number of trees (50, 100, 150 and 200), the single DT classifiers with the best AdaBoost ensembles and the best AdaBoost ensembles of each FE over each MF. The empirical evaluations used: four classification performance criteria (accuracy, recall, precision and F1-score), 5-fold cross-validation, Scott Knott (SK) statistical test to select the best cluster of the outperforming models, and Borda Count voting system to rank the best performing ones. Results showed the potential of combining DL techniques for FE and AdaBoost boosting method to classify BC in malignant and benign tumors, furthermore the AdaBoost ensemble constructed using 200 trees, DenseNet_201 as FE and MF 200X achieved the best mean accuracy value with 90.36\%. {\textcopyright} 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

It places more emphasis on dynamic environments where available resources continuously vary without prior knowledge of their availability, while in static environments the services provided to users are determined in advance. At the same time, cloud computing paradigm introduced flexibility of use according to the user{\textquoteright}s profile and needs. In this paper, we aimed to provide context-aware transactional service (CATS) applications with solutions so that it can be integrated and invoked like any service in the digital ecosystem. The motivation in this paper is to offer design patterns that will guarantee short reaction times and minimal human intervention. Our proposal includes a cloud service model by developing a PaaS service that allows CATS adaptation. A new specification for the validation of CATS model has been also introduced using the ACTA formalism. Copyright {\textcopyright} 2022 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.},

	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.},

However, the most important challenge for these tools after assessing maturity is how to define effective and efficient improvement plans especially in the case of an organization having multiple Information Systems (IS). This study presents an algorithm for optimizing the deployment of the overall maturity improvement plan for risk management of information systems. The purpose is to help decision makers identify which actions should be accomplished for each information system, with optimizing efforts needed to reach the global maturity level fixed by the top-down improvement strategy.

	abstract = {Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. While the early diagnosis and treatment can significantly reduce the mortality rate, it is a challenging task for pathologists to accurately estimate the cancerous cells and tissues. Therefore, machine learning techniques are playing a significant role in assisting pathologists and improving the diagnosis results. This paper proposes a hybrid architecture that combines: three of the most recent deep learning techniques for feature extraction (DenseNet_201, Inception_V3, and MobileNet_V2) and random forest to classify breast cancer histological images over the BreakHis dataset with its four magnification factors: 40X, 100X, 200X and 400X. The study evaluated and compared: (1) the developed random forest models with their base learners, (2) the designed random forest models with the same architecture but with a different number of trees, (3) the decision tree classifiers with the best random forest models and (4) the best random forest models of each feature extractor. The empirical evaluations used: four classification performance criteria (accuracy, sensitivity, precision and F1-score), 5-fold cross-validation, Scott Knott statistical test, and Borda Count voting method. The best random forest model achieved an accuracy mean value of 85.88\%, and was constructed using 9 trees, 200X as a magnification factor, and Inception_V3 as a feature extractor. The experimental results demonstrated that combining random forest with deep learning models is effective for the automatic classification of malignant and benign tumors using histopathological images of breast cancer. {\textcopyright} 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

	abstract = {Wind energy conversion system (WECS) is composed of many non-linear power electronic sub systems, which contribute significantly in harmonic emissions that is a threat for the quality of electrical power. 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. All results of THD are verified by a Fast Fourier transform simulation using MATLAB/Simulink. {\textcopyright} 2022, Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science. All rights reserved.},

	abstract = {Data breaches have begun to take on new dimensions and their prediction is becoming of great importance to organizations. Prior work has addressed this issue mainly from a technical perspective and neglected other interfering aspects such as the social media dimension. To fill this gap, we propose a STRisk predictive system where we expand the scope of the prediction task by bringing into play the social media dimension. We study over 3800 US organizations including both victim and non-victim organizations. For each organization, we design a profile composed of a variety of externally measured technical indicators and social factors. In addition, to account for unreported incidents, we consider the non-victim sample to be noisy and propose a noise correction approach to correct mislabeled organizations. We then build several machine learning models to predict whether an organization is exposed to experience a hacking breach. By exploiting both technical and social features, we achieve an Area Under Curve (AUC) score exceeding 98\%, which is 12\% higher than the AUC achieved using only technical features. Furthermore, our feature importance analysis reveals that open ports and expired certificates are the best technical predictors, while spreadability and agreeability are the best social predictors.

We employed Google Scholar as a search engine to crawl data, and findings are presented according to the (Bernard, H. Russell.2000) process. The review constitutes a reference for researchers in this field and the future developers of OER recommender systems.

This paper develops and evaluates twenty-eight hybrid architectures combining seven recent deep learning techniques for feature extraction (DenseNet 201, Inception V3, Inception ReseNet V2, MobileNet V2, ResNet 50, VGG16 and VGG19), and four classifiers (MLP, SVM, DT and KNN) for binary classification of breast cytological images over the FNAC dataset. To evaluate the designed architectures, we used: (1) four classification performance criterias (accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score), (1) Scott Knott (SK) statistical test to cluster the developed architectures and identify the best cluster of the outperforming architectures, and (2) Borda Count voting method to rank the best performing architectures. Results showed the potential of combining deep learning techniques for feature extraction and classical classifiers to classify breast cancer in malignant and benign tumors. The hybrid architectures using MLP classifier and DenseNet 201 for feature extraction were the top performing architectures with a higher accuracy value reaching 99\% over the FNAC dataset. As results, the findings of this study recommend the use of the hybrid architectures using DenseNet 201 for the feature extraction of the breast cancer cytological images since it gave the best results for the FNAC data images, especially if combined with the MLP classifier. {\textcopyright} 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

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.

	abstract = {In the interconnected power systems, there must always be a balance between the amount of electricity produced and the amount of electricity consumed in order to keep the grid frequency stable and nearby to its nominal value. Therefore, any change in consumption can lead to imbalance, instability, load shedding and system frequency disturbances. With the increase of wind energy penetration level in the electrical network, it has become necessary to make wind generators participate in frequency regulation. The fundamental objective of this research paper is to investigate the ability of wind turbine at variable speed equipped with doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) to contribute in the grid frequency regulation. For the purpose of the contribution in the frequency regulation, the wind turbine system must inject a supplementary power support into the electrical network. To do that, two control strategies are adopted: the first one is the synthetic inertia control which uses the kinetic energy reserved and stocked in the turbine and generator rotors of the wind system. The second one is the droop frequency control which includes the deloading method that allows to the VSWT to create a certain reserve active power. Then, each of these control techniques is implemented and their performances are evaluated in case of frequency variation. Moreover, the control structure that uses the combination of these two techniques is also implemented and studied. The active disturbance rejection control strategy (ADRC), the classical PI controller and the polynomial RST controller have been adopted to command the rotor side converter (RSC) of the DFIG which allows it to provide, in case of frequency fault, a support for the power system into the grid by adjusting the rotor speed. The performance of these controllers are tested and compared and the simulation is performed by MATLAB/Simulink simulation software. {\textcopyright} 2021, International Journal of Renewable Energy Research.

	abstract = {Vehicular communications in Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANETs) play an interesting role in improving traffic flow on the roads. In such wireless networks, the vehicles cooperate with each other or with the roadside infrastructure to disseminate the data. In this paper, we introduce a mechanism based on coalitional game theory to study the cooperative transmission in VANETs. Each vehicle tries to access the Internet via gateways that can be either fixed or mobile. However, these gateways help the vehicles to access the Internet by cooperatively relaying the vehicles{\textquoteright} messages. Thus, two notions to indicate the availability of transmission between vehicles and gateways are introduced. These notions are chosen to deal with the highly dynamic topology in VANETs, namely the notion of an encounter and the notion of a link{\textquoteright}s predicted lifetime. The problem is modelled as a non-transferable utility game. Then, an algorithm is proposed to dynamically form coalitions among the vehicles. Moreover, a probability of being active is set in terms of speed of the received vehicle. To evaluate the proposed solution, two scenarios are used: fixed gateways scenario and mobile gateways scenario. The numerical results show that the scenario of mobile gateways is more effective in terms of stimulating vehicles to regroup into coalitions. Hence, this helps the vehicles to access the Internet. {\textcopyright} 2020},

As a result, the design and the development of applications are gradually migrating from a traditional model to a service-oriented model. In this regard, we propose through this work an approach for web service (WS) composition guided by the context and the intention, by which we suggest an architecture for service composition that reduces the complexity of the generated artificial intelligence (AI) planning problem and to ensure the interoperability of any system independently of the domain planners. The general idea of this approach is to conceive an intentional-contextual metamodel that will be transformed into an OWL model using OMG standards, which will be used to map the WS composition problem into AI planning problems. This article describes the architectural, conceptual, and strategic aspects to deal with the WS composition problem. {\textcopyright} 2021 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.},

The challenge of estimating the effort of software development lies in its precision. With the emergence of agile methodologies, methods for effort estimation (EE) had to adapt to this new development path. In this article, we are conducting a systematic mapping study on effort estimation in the context of agile software development. Objective: we want to identify the estimation approaches and techniques used in the context of agile development to better understand the specifics and trends relating to this mode of development. Method: we conducted a systematic mapping study by adopting the guideline explained in[1] [2]. A systematic review of the literature [3] has already been carried out for publications between 2001 and 2013. This work is an extension of this previous study. We queried 5 electronic databases. Conclusion: We retrieved 11350 paper from five electronic databases. A total of 108 papers is selected after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on the results, there is a general increase over the years of studies concerning effort estimation in agile software development. {\textcopyright} 2021 The authors and IOS Press.

	abstract = {Micro-grid systems (MGS) are increasingly investigated for green and energy efficient buildings in order to reduce energy consumption while maintaining occupants{\textquoteright} comfort. It includes renewable energy sources for power production, storage devices for storing power excess, and control strategies for orchestrating all components and improving the system{\textquoteright}s efficiency. In fact, MGS can be seen as complex systems composed of different heterogeneous entities that interact dynamically and in collective manner in order to balance between energy efficiency and occupants{\textquoteright} comfort. However, the uncertainty and intermittency of energy production and consumption requires the development of real-time forecasting methods and predictive control strategies. The State-of-Charge (SoC) of batteries is one of the main parameters used in MGS predictive control algorithms. It indicates how much energy is stored and how long MGS can be relying on deployed storage devices. Several methods have been developed for SoC estimation, but little work, however, has been dedicated for SoC forecasting in MGS. In this paper, we focus on advancing MGS predictive control through near real-time embedded forecasting of batteries SoC. In fact, we have deployed, on two platforms, two forecasting methods, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA). Their accuracy and performance have been evaluated in both classical batch mode and streaming mode. Extensive experiments have been conducted for different forecasting horizons and results are presented using two main metrics, the accuracy and the computational time. Obtained results show that LSTM outperforms ARIMA for real-time forecasting, it has the better tradeoff in terms of forecasting accuracy and performance. {\textcopyright} 2020 Elsevier B.V.},

	abstract = {To understand and manipulate a complex system, it is necessary to apply the separation of concerns and produce separate models, called viewpoints models. These models represent views on the system that correspond to distinct business domains. They are generally heterogeneous, i.e. conform to different meta-models. The management of the system{\textquoteright}s global model (a complete view of the system) requires the identification of the existing correspondences among the viewpoints models. However, in practice these correspondences are either incompletely identified or not sufficiently formalized to be maintained when models evolve. This restricts their use and does not allow their full exploitation for managing the global model. To fix this issue, we propose AHM (Alignment of Heterogeneous Models), an approach to organize the source models as a network of models through a virtual global model called M1C (Model of correspondences between models) that conforms to a Meta-Model of Correspondences (MMC). AHM proposes also a process, allowing for both the creation of the global model, and its consistency control. Partial automation of this process is done through a refining mechanism supported by a semantics expression described in a Domain Specific Language (DSL). The application of AHM is illustrated by the example of a conference management system. A prototype of a tool called Heterogeneous Matching and Consistency management Suite (HMCS) has been developed to support this approach. {\textcopyright} 2021. All Rights Reserved.},

In the field of electromobility, it represents the most dynamic parameter for efficient online in-vehicle energy management. However, vehicles{\textquoteright} speed forecasting is a challenging task, because its estimation is closely related to various features, which can be classified into two categories, endogenous and exogenous features. Endogenous features represent electric vehicles{\textquoteright} characteristics, whereas exogenous ones represent its surrounding context, such as traffic, weather, and road conditions. In this paper, a speed forecasting method based on the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is introduced. The LSTM model training is performed upon a dataset collected from a traffic simulator based on real-world data representing urban itineraries. The proposed models are generated for univariate and multivariate scenarios and are assessed in terms of accuracy for speed forecasting. Simulation results show that the multivariate model outperforms the univariate model for short- and long-term forecasting. {\textcopyright} 2018 Tsinghua University Press.},

	abstract = {According to the recent grid codes, wind turbine systems (WTSs) are required to stay connected to the grid during grid faults and provide reactive power to support the grid. Therefore, this paper proposes a noncontrolled fault current limiter (NCFCL) with reactive power support for transient stability improvement of DFIG-based WTSs under grid faults. The proposed NCFCL is based on a nonsuperconducting reactor located in the rotor side. The NCFCL considerably limits the rotor and stator overcurrents and improves the transient stability of the doubly fed induction generator (DIFG). In addition, the proposed strategy reduces DC-link overvoltage and electromagnetic torque oscillations and also provides reactive power to the grid to support the grid voltage recovery. In this way, the fault ride-through (FRT) requirements of the latest grid codes can be fulfilled without affecting the DFIG stability in normal operation. Simulation studies using MATLAB/Simulink-2019a are performed on a 2-MW DFIG-based WTS to confirm the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed FRT strategy. Simulation results reveal that the proposed strategy provides better performance compared to the crowbar protection to improve the FRT capability. {\textcopyright} 2021 John Wiley \& Sons Ltd.},

In order to contribute in the system frequency stability, the WECS have to inject an additional active power support into the power system. To do that, an additional frequency regulation control methods have been adopted to change the reference value of the electromagnetic power of the DFIG. These control strategies are the synthetic inertia control and the droop control. Furthermore, an additional technic called automatic generation control (AGC) has been used for adjusting the power output of multiple generators in the microgrid in response to changes in the load. The role of the AGC is to restore frequency to its nominal value by using a supplementary integral controller. Moreover, the control of the wind turbine generator is necessary so that it can provide the requested power. We used the Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) method and in order to assess its performance, the ADRC strategy was compared to the classic PI controller. Modeling and simulation are carried out in MATLAB/Simulink environment. {\textcopyright} 2021 IEEE.},

Several approaches have already been tested to incorporate intentionality in service engineering. However, there are limited results in terms of user intention understanding and context awareness. This systematic literature review interprets available approaches, especially those considered relevant for particular concern: intention representation, intention matching, and context influence on intention. It explains the pros and cons inherent to each proposed method. A total of 51 papers published between 2010 and 2020 were rigorously selected. The current review results demonstrate that the available literature suggests multiple approaches to intentionality adaptation. But with many gaps remaining, especially when it comes to modelling intentionality. Furthermore, this study reveals that little effort is given to handle the close relationship between context and intention. Copyright {\textcopyright} 2021 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.},

	abstract = {Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) have many promising applications such as improving vehicle driver{\textquoteright}s safety, and so, decreasing car deaths. In VANETs, the main communication way is broadcast. Such Broadcast needs to be done efficiently especially in congested areas to avoid the broadcast storm problem. A crashed vehicle disseminates a message about its incident to all nodes in the network. The vehicle nodes of the network have to disseminate in their turn the alert message carefully to maximize both reachability and saved rebroadcast (by reducing congestion) while minimizing the delay. This concern is demonstrated and modeled by decision hypothesis. In this paper, at first, we are keen on the Markov decision process (MDP), which is utilized to model and tackle such successive decision issues. We aim to optimize a utility for each vehicle relying upon an irregular domain and choices made by it. As the MDP formalism achieves its cutoff points when it is important to consider the cooperation between the several vehicles. We will begin utilizing the Graph-based MDP where the state and activity spaces are factorizable by factors. We then demonstrate that the transition functions and rewards are deteriorated into nearby functions, and the reliance relations between the vehicles are spoken to by a graph. To Figure the optimal strategy, we use Mean Field Approximation (MFA) for tackling GMDP issue. {\textcopyright} 2020 IEEE.},

Among the needs of these systems are useful and necessary information that can be used to improve the making of good decisions, such as data on past and current crises. The application of machine learning and big data technologies in data processing of crises and disasters can yield important results in this area.

	abstract = {The Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) based Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) has experienced a rapid development in the world, which leads to an increasing insertion of this source of energy in the electrical grids. The sudden and temporary drop of voltage at the network can affect the operation of the DFIG; the voltage dips produce high peak currents on the stator and rotor circuits, without protection, the rotor side converter (RSC) will suffer also from over-current limit, consequently, the RSC may even be destroyed and the generator be damaged. In this paper a new Direct Power Control (DPC) method was developed, in order to control the stator powers and help the operation of the aero-generator during the faults grid; by injecting the reactive power into the network to contribute to the return of voltage, and set the active power to the optimum value to suppress the high peak currents. The DPC method was designed using the nonlinear Backstepping (BS) controller associated with the Lyapunov function to ensure the stability and robustness of the system. A comparison study was undertaken to verify the robustness and effectiveness of the DPC-BS to that of the classical vector control (VC) using Proportional-Integral (PI) correctors.

In parallel, contextual situation refers to a higher level of information inferred from different context data flow that can be extracted from physical and virtual sensors. The power of using situation is lies in their ability to provide a simple and comprehensible representation of context property, which preserve the services that manipulate them from the complexity of sensor readings, data transmission errors and inferencing activities. In this work, we aim to explore the added value of using ontology-based reasoning, focusing on first-order logic and fuzzy logic, to produce contextual situations.

	abstract = {Large integration of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind turbines (WTs) into power networks can have significant consequences for power system operation and the quality of the energy supplied due to their excessive sensitivity towards grid disturbances. Under voltage dips, the resulting overcurrent and overvoltage in the rotor circuit and the DC link of a DFIG, could lead to the activation of the protection system and WT disconnection. This potentially results in sudden loss of several tens/hundreds of MWs of energy, and consequently intensifying the severity of the fault. This paper aims to combine the use of a crowbar protection circuit and a robust backstepping control strategy that takes into consideration of the dynamics of the magnetic flux, to improve DFIG{\textquoteright}s Low-Voltage Ride Through capability and fulfill the latest grid code requirements. While the power electronic interfaces are protected, the WTs also provide large reactive power during the fault to assist system voltage recovery. Simulation results using Matlab/Simulink demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy in terms of dynamic response and robustness against parametric variations. {\textcopyright} 2020, The Author(s).},

	abstract = {The Internet-of-Things (IoT) is a network of physical objects that communicate and exchange data between them over the Internet. These objects, or things, generate a massive amount of data that require powerful analytics approaches and data storage platforms - this is where cloud computing may well come into play. The classic cloud computing paradigm, however, faces several serious issues, due to centralization, such as low performance, latency issues, security issues, bandwidth obstacle, etc.. The Fog (Edge) computing paradigm has been proposed to improve the performance and to address other weaknesses, by providing IoT data processing and storage capabilities locally at the edges (IoT devices), instead of sending all the data to the centralized cloud. Whether in cloud or in fog computing, with billions of devices and a huge number of simultaneous requests, managing limited resources becomes essential. One of the important steps in resource management is task scheduling. In this paper, we consider task scheduling in a cloud-fog computing platform, we propose a multi-agent based model that aims at serving the most important task first, taking into consideration the task priority, its wait time, its status and the resources required to complete it successfully. Furthermore, in the scheduling process, we first propose an update to the priority value of the task, while taking into consideration its dependencies to other tasks and their priorities. Simulation results show that our proposed model can lead to better resource utilization and improve performance. {\textcopyright} 2020 IEEE.},

	year = {2020},
	note = {cited By 8},
	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.},

	abstract = {Context-awareness in energy-efficient buildings has been considered as a crucial fact for developing context-driven control approaches in which sensing and actuation tasks are performed according to the contextual changes. 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.},

For such configuration, due to their high performances, the Finite-Control-Set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC) is a very attractive control solution. The FCS-MPC scheme is based on the prediction of the future behavior of the controlled variables using the dynamic model of PMSM and the discrete nature of the 3L-NPC inverter. However, the parametric uncertainties and time-varying parameters affect the FCS-MPC algorithm performances. In this paper, robust FCS-MPC controls based on "dynamic error correction" (DEC) and "modified revised prediction" (MRP) are proposed to improve the FCS-MPC robustness without affecting the controller performances and complexity. The proposed strategies are improved also by multiobjective (MO) algorithm optimization and computation delay compensation. The simulation results included prove the performance in robustness and efficiency of the proposed robust FCS-MPC-DEC. {\textcopyright} 2020 Abdiddaim Katkout et al.},

	abstract = {Low Density Parity Check Codes (LDPC) are a class of linear error-correcting codes which have shown ability to approach or even to reach the capacity of the transmission channel. This class of code approaches asymptotically the fundamental limit of information theory more than the Turbo Convolutional codes. It{\textquoteright}s ideal for long distance transmission satellite, mobile communications and it{\textquoteright}s also used in storage systems. In this paper, a new method for constructing quasicyclic low density parity-check (QC-LDPC) codes derived from cyclic codes is presented. The proposed method reduces the incidence vectors, by eliminating the conjugates lines in parity-check matrix of the derived cyclic code to construct circulant shifting sub-matrices. In the end, this method produces a large class of regular LDPC codes of quasi-cyclic structure having very low density, high coding rates and Tanner graphs which have no short cycles with girth of at least 6. Performance with computer simulations are also shown in this work for some constructed codes. {\textcopyright} 2006-2018 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN).},

The proposed analytical approach is based on both Newton Raphson load flow and loss sensitivity factor. One type of DG is considered including DG supplying real power only.

	note = {cited By 0},
	pages = {142-159},
	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.},

To this aim, many solo techniques have been proposed to predict the effort required to develop a software system. Nevertheless, none of them proved to be suitable in all circumstances. Recently, Ensemble Effort Estimation has been investigated to estimate software effort and consists on generating the software effort by combining more than one solo estimation technique by means of a combination rule. In this study, a heterogeneous EEE based on four machine learning techniques was investigated using three linear rules and two well-known datasets. The results of this study suggest that the proposed heterogeneous EEE yields a very promising performance and there is no best combiner rule that can be recommended. {\textcopyright} 2016 IEEE.},

The control is provided by the linear active disturbances rejection control, (LADRC) controller, which has several benefits over the conventional PI controller such as the estimation and compensation in real time of the internal and external disturbances, which can be summarized in the parameters uncertainties. To ensure the performances and achieve the advantages of the LADRC controller, in case of primary frequency control, the results are compared with the conventional PI by a simulation in MATLAB/Simulink. The results obtained have shown that the LADRC controller is much more efficient compared to a conventional PI controller in terms of control. Finally, the primary frequency control can be better applied with this type of controller which ensures a good dynamic frequency support and a reduction of the frequency variations. {\textcopyright} 2017 Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l. - All rights reserved.},

	abstract = {Models have always been adopted in trades implemented in Systems Engineering (SE). Those models go from concrete representations, such as reduced plans or models, to abstract ones like equations systems. In this context, SysML became an SE standard because of its capabilities of supporting the specification, analysis, design, verification and validation of a broad range of systems and systems-of-systems. However, SysML descriptive models are insufficient to perform system behavior verifications. This lack can be handled by simulation process that allows performing experiments on models to eliminate poor design alternatives, and ensures that a preferred alternative meets the stakeholders{\textquoteright} objectives. As design process efficiency is considerably reduced by the fact that both system modeling and simulation tools are often used separately, several research works aim combining and integrating both approaches in a common framework. This paper proposes a study of common constructs, semantics and modeling methodologies of simulation tools on the basis of whom we define a modeling language that we name: Simulation Modeling Language.

To tackle this challenge, Ensemble Effort Estimation, which predicts software development effort by combining more than one solo estimation technique, has recently been investigated. In this paper, heterogeneous ensembles based on four well-known machine learning techniques (K-nearest neighbor, support vector regression, multilayer perceptron and decision trees) were developed and evaluated by investigating the impact of parameter values of the ensemble members on estimation accuracy. In particular, this paper evaluates whether setting ensemble parameters using two optimization techniques (e.g., grid search optimization and particle swarm) permits more accurate estimates of SDEE. The heterogeneous ensembles of this study were built using three combination rules (mean, median and inverse ranked weighted mean) over seven datasets. The results obtained suggest that: (1) Optimized single techniques using grid search or particle swarm optimization provide more accurate estimation; (2) in general ensembles achieve higher accuracy than their single techniques whatever the optimization technique used, even though ensembles do not dominate over all single techniques; (3) heterogeneous ensembles based on optimized single techniques provide more accurate estimation; and (4) generally, particle swarm optimization and grid search techniques generate ensembles with the same predictive capability. {\textcopyright} 2017 Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature},

	abstract = {Generally, various models can be used to describe a given application domain on different aspects and thus give rise to several views. To have a complete view of the application domain, heterogeneous models need to be unified, which is a hard task to do. To tackle this problem, we have proposed a method to relate partial models without combining them in a single model. In our approach, partial models are organized as a network of models through a virtual global model called M1C (Model of correspondences between models) which conforms to a ubiquitous language based on a Meta-Model of Correspondences (MMC). This paper presents an application of our method to an "Emergency Department" case study. It has been performed as a collaborative process involving model designers and a supervisor. The focus is put on the building of the M1C model from 3 partial models.},

	abstract = {Background: Software development processes are often performed by distributed teams which may be separated by great distances. Global software development (GSD) has undergone a significant growth in recent years. The challenges concerning GSD are especially relevant to requirements engineering (RE). Stakeholders need to share a common ground, but there are many difficulties as regards the potentially variable interpretation of the requirements in different contexts. We posit that the application of requirements reuse techniques could alleviate this problem through the diminution of the number of requirements open to misinterpretation. Results: This paper presents a reuse-based approach with which to address RE in GSD, with special emphasis on specification techniques, namely parameterised requirements and traceability relationships. An experiment was carried out with the participation of 29 university students enrolled on a Computer Science and Engineering course. Two main scenarios that represented co-localisation and distribution in software development were portrayed by participants from Spain and Morocco. The global teams achieved a slightly better performance than the co-located teams as regards effectiveness, which could be a result of the worse productivity of the global teams in comparison to the co-located teams. Subjective perceptions were generally more positive in the case of the distributed teams (difficulty, speed and understanding), with the exception of quality. Conclusions: A theoretical model has been proposed as an evaluation framework with which to analyse, from the point of view of the factor of distance, the effect of requirements specification techniques on a set of performance and perception-based variables. The experiment utilised a new internationalisation requirements catalogue. None of the differences found between co-located and distributed teams were significant according to the outcome of our statistical tests. The well-known benefits of requirements reuse in traditional co-located projects could, therefore, also be expected in GSD projects.},

Thereafter, a correlation between the influence of mobile limitations on DiffServ classes and its effects on usability characteristic is discussed. As a result of this empirical study, the usability is less correlated with Diffserv classes in terms of influence of mobile limitations given that this characteristic corresponds to the presentation layer unlike the Diffserv model which would focus on the network level quality.},

The proposed framework fills the existing gap on KM performance measurement in two points: (i) it provides a generic tool that is able to assess all kinds of KM project as well as the overall organization KM, (ii) it assesses KM projects according to KM objectives in a generic manner. Our framework (GKMPM) relies on a process reference model that provides a KM common understanding in a process based view. It is based on a goal-oriented measurement approach and considers that KM performance dimensions are stakeholder{\textquoteright}s objectives. The framework application follows a procedural approach that begins with the KM project modelling, followed by the objectives prioritization. The next step consists of collecting and analysing data for pre-designed measures, and produces a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) related to the KM project processes and in accordance with its objectives.},

	abstract = {In order to find a minimum weight codeword in a linear code, the Multiple Impulse Method uses the Ordered Statistics Decoder of order 3 having a complexity which increases with the code dimension. This paper presents an important improvement of this method by finding a sub code of C of small dimension containing a lowest weight codeword. In the case of Binary Extended Quadratic Residue codes, the proposed technique consists on finding a self invertible permutation σ from the projective special linear group and searching a codeword having the minimum weight in the sub code fixed by σ. The proposed technique gives the exact value of the minimum distance for all binary quadratic residue codes of length less than 223 by using the Multiple Impulse Method on the sub codes in less than one second. For lengths more than 223, the obtained results prove the height capacity of the proposed technique to find the lowest weight in less time. The proposed idea is generalized for BCH codes and it has permits to find the true value of the minimum distance for some codes of lengths 1023 and 2047. The proposed methods performed very well in comparison to previously known results. {\textcopyright} 2016 Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l. - All rights reserved.},

By researching this area we are able to identify issues that limit the quality of the result with these traditional service mechanisms. To overcome this issue we use ontologies to enable semantic matchmaking. By reasoning on concepts and relations, our approach can derive matches that syntactically would not match. Additionaly, by introducing contextual information in the service discovery process, the quality of the service discovery result may improve. In this paper, we present an overview of the architecture for the discovery of context aware services by using ontologies, we also present our context aware semantic service by extending OWL-S with context properties. {\textcopyright} 2015 IEEE.},

This lack is accentuated by the increasing complexity of recent systems. In order to conduct behavior verifications, designers use simulation tools to realize experiments on the studied system. Thus, the efficiency of the engineering process is often reduced because of the separate and consecutive use of both SysML modeling and simulation tools. As a consequence, various research works focused on unifying the potential provided by the SysML language and simulation environments. We propose in this paper to study links taxonomy between SysML and various existing simulation environments. The ultimate goal of this study is to consider the most optimal passage from SysML to various simulation tools. A common environment based on models and modern techniques of model-based engineering will handle this transformation. {\textcopyright} 2015 IEEE.},

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.

We present the theoretical analysis of the proposed structure that consists of modeling the frequency dependence of the even- and odd-mode characteristic impedances as well as due to the different phase velocities of the parallel-coupled microstrip lines. As an example, a compact tri-band parallel-coupled-line bandpass filter with suppression of second harmonic frequency was implemented operating at 1.9/3.2/4.6 GHz to cover PCS1900, WiMAX, and C-band applications. A three-pole Chebyshev parallel-coupled microstrip bandpass filter was designed at a center frequency of 3.2 GHz and used as the basis to validate the gapping effect on the filter response which also achieves a narrower bandwidth for the second harmonic. Finally, the filter performance with minimized coupling gap is compared to a filter enhanced by the insertion of apertures in the ground plane.

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.

An important challenge in context-aware service oriented systems is the creation of a new service on demand to carry out more complex tasks through the composition of existing services. In this work, we aim to propose a semantic based architecture for the development of context aware services composition using Artificial Intelligence (AI) planning. The straightforward translation between AI planning through PDDL and Semantic web services via OWL-S allows to automate the composition process. Thus planning based service composition launches a goal-oriented composition procedure to generate a plan of composite service corresponding to the user request.

	abstract = {Organizations become dependent on Information Technology (IT) to fulfill their corporate aims, meet their business needs and deliver value to customers. For effective and efficient utilization of IT, we intend to contribute to the alignment between IT and organizational strategies. The challenge is to make the enterprise and its Information System (IS) as responsive as possible within the regard to changes in enterprise while taking into account the enterprise operational performance. When a change happens or a new opportunity comes, organizations do not know which assets are linked to which business processes and which services, especially IT services, to bring up first and which can wait until later. Our principal aim is to propose an indicator framework to track and control business-IT alignment. However, this paper is a preliminary study on this framework. We are inspired by COBIT 5 processes as indicators and believe that the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) applied to these processes interlinks and can interact well the different processes. The validity and applicability of our theoretical study will be evaluated for future work.},

	abstract = {Organizations become dependent on Information Technology (IT) to fulfill their corporate aims, meet their business needs and deliver value to customers. For effective and efficient utilization of IT, we intend to contribute to the alignment between IT and organizational strategies. The challenge is to make the enterprise and its Information System (IS) as responsive as possible within the regard to changes in enterprise while taking into account the enterprise operational performance. When a change happens or a new opportunity comes, organizations do not know which assets are linked to which business processes and which services, especially IT services, to bring up first and which can wait until later. Our principal aim is to propose an indicator framework to track and control business-IT alignment. However, this paper is a preliminary study on this framework. We are inspired by COBIT 5 processes as indicators and believe that the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) applied to these processes interlinks and can interact well the different processes. The validity and applicability of our theoretical study will be evaluated for future work. {\textcopyright} 2015 IEEE.},

	abstract = {Although the DSM approach was already present in the industrial world since the 90s, these last years it knows a growing interest from the research community. 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.},

This has led to the development of new interaction pattern where the service oriented architecture is the de facto pattern. In this article, we are particularly interested in transactional services. We position our approach in the context of a user-centered model driven engineering (MDE) approach in order to move from one perspective where models were contemplative artifacts to a perspective where they become productive artifacts. For this, we first present our approach for managing context-aware transactional services (CATS). Then, we propose a CATS specification and metamodel.

Control strategy based on the voltage oriented control VOC, is used to control the direct and quadrature currents, in both the positive and negative sequence for the network side and rotor side converter. For its robustness to uncertainties that may arise into the physical plant parameters and the needless exact knowledge of physical system, the active disturbance rejection control based on an extended state observer is used to overcome the internal and external uncertainties.

The model composition operation allows combining those sub-models into an integrated view, but remains a tedious activity. For that, traceability information must be maintained to comprehend the composition effects and better manage the operation itself. Against this context, the current paper describes a framework for model composition traceability. We consider the traces generation concern as a crosscutting concern where the weaving mechanism is performed using graph transformations. A composition specification case study is presented to illustrate our contribution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]},

	abstract = {This work is situated in the context of the application of Model Driven Engineering to complex systems view-based modelling. In fact, view-based models - called also partial models - are manipulated by different actors (designers), and are thus generally heterogeneous, that is, described with different DSLs (Domain Specific Languages). Instead of building a single global model, which is not realistic, we propose to organize the different partial models as a network of related models, which provides a global view of the system through a correspondence model. As models are modelled separately by different designers, they also evolve separately that induces a problem of consistency. To solve it, we propose a semi-automatic process based on the correspondence model allowing detecting changes, calculating their impacts, and proposing modifications to maintain the consistency among them. The approach is supported by a tool chain and illustrated by the example of a Bug Tracking System. {\textcopyright} 2014 IEEE.},

In normal condition, the maximization of power converted with MPPT control is studied. Under a symmetrical fault voltage, the behavior of DFIG and its capability to remain connected according to the new grid code requirement are presented. LVRT control scheme applied to the WECS is based on a serial active crowbar resistance and a DC chopper to keep the rotor current and the DC link voltage under their safety value, in addition with the pitch angle control to limit the rotor speed at its rated value. The fifth order model of DFIG and a two mass model of turbine are considered in order to highlight the shaft dynamic. Simulations under Matlab Simulink are presented and discussed. {\textcopyright} 2014 Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l. - All rights reserved.},

Context is understood as any information about the user needs and operating environment which vary dynamically and have an impact on design choices. Context aware Services oriented systems have emerged as an underlying design and development paradigm. An important challenge in such systems is context modeling, reasoning and adaptating services behavior. Using ontologies and semantic web services to deal with context aware services has attracted a lot of interest. In this paper, we present an architecture for the development of context aware services based on ontologies.

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},

Instead of building a single global model, we propose to organize the different source models as a network of models which provides a global view of the system through a virtual global model. The matching of these models is done in a shared model of correspondences. We focus in this study on the elaboration of the model of correspondences, through a transformation called "refine" . The approach is illustrated by a representative use case (a Bug Tracking System) and supported by a modeling tool called HMS (Heterogeneous Matching Suite). {\textcopyright} 2014 Academic Journals Inc.},

However, the manual process of ontology construction requires deep understanding of the domain. This approach is difficult, expensive and time-consuming. To overcome the knowledge acquisition bottleneck, ontology learning field aims to provide automatic and semi-automatic approaches for ontology generation. Several approaches have been emerged for this purpose. In this paper, we present a practical study of methods that take data models as input to the learning process. The main contributions of this work are: (i) the evaluation of the availability of existing approaches for (semi-)automatic generation of ontology from data models; (ii) the evaluation of tools according to their operability; and (iii) the evaluation of the resulting ontologies to assess their quality in supporting semantic interoperability. Our goal through this study is to find a response to the question: Is there a tool that extracts (semi-) automatically an application ontology from data models, intended for use in semantic interoperability?.},

For decoding a linear block code C, these genetic algorithms computes a permutation p of the code generator matrix depending of the received word. Our main contribution in this paper is to choose the permutation p from the automorphism group of C. This choice allows reducing the complexity of re-encoding in the decoding steps when C is cyclic and also to generalize the proposed genetic decoding algorithm for binary nonlinear block codes like the Kerdock codes. In this paper, an efficient stop criterion is proposed and it reduces considerably the decoding complexity of our algorithm. The simulation results of the proposed decoder, over the AWGN channel, show that it reaches the error correcting performances of its competitors. The study of the complexity shows that the proposed decoder is less complex than its competitors that are based also on genetic algorithms.},

Management of these models requires the definition of a set of model management operators such as the composition operation. This is generally an operation, which is dedicated to merge a number of models in order to create one (or more) incorporated model and which depends on the application context. The current work focuses on the description of a formal approach for model composition where the composition is specified by a set of graph transformation rules over UML-compliant models. The semantics of our composition operator is defined using triple graph grammars (TGGs) formalism. Furthermore, we present a composition scheme interpreted by a three-steps composition process: matching, checking and merging. {\textcopyright} 2013 Springer-Verlag.},

	abstract = {The overall goal of our approach is to relate models of a given domain. Those models are manipulated by different actors, and are thus generally heterogeneous, that is, described with different DSLs (Domain Specific Languages). Instead of building a single global model, we propose to organize the different source models as a network of models, which provides a global view of the system through a virtual global model. The matching of these models is done in a unique correspondence model composed of relationships that are instantiated from a correspondence meta-model. This meta-model is composed of a generic part - common to all the domains - And of a specific part which depends on the specific domain modelled. In this paper, we focus on the elaboration of the correspondence model based on a correspondence meta-model, through a vertical relationship named "refine". The approach is illustrated on a representative use case (a Bug Tracking System). Copyright {\textcopyright} 2013 SCITEPRESS.},

Internet research community has proposed many Different multicast routing protocols to support efficient multimedia application, PIM-SM protocol remains the most used multicast routing protocol; they propose using a Shared Rendezvous Point Tree SRPT to forward multicast packets. The prime problem concerning SRPT construction is to determine an optimal multicast router in the network as a root; this problem is called Rendezvous point RP selection. This selection influences the form of the multicast routing tree, and therefore influences performances of the multicast session and multicast routing scheme. Determination of a best position of the Rendezvous Point is an NP complete problem, first proposed by Wall, which needs to be solved with a heuristic algorithm. In this paper we propose a new RP selection algorithm based on Parallel Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure. 2DV-PGRASP-RP selects RP by considering cost, delay and delay variation functions and can be easily integrated to bootstrap RP protocol used by PIM-SM.

Composition thereof gives rise to more complex services by integrating applications over borders of companies, institutions, and countries. But such compositions fail if they cannot dynamically adapt to change in such an ever changing environment. Unfortunately web compositions today are still implemented in a static way. Implementing invocations of web services is too verbose and heavy-weight. It requires manual extraction of each service{\textquoteright}s information from interface descriptions and because of the missing transparency in composition languages, developers repetitively have to write low-level invocation code. This paper proposes a light-weight approach for automatic and transparent web service compositions, supporting standard SOAP-based web services. We provide a proof-of-concept as a scripting language. The benefit is that our web services composition approach makes compositions simpler and more transparent, because invoking a web service is no more complicated than invoking a local method.},

The principle of this approach is to search code words locally around the all-zero code word perturbed by a level of noise magnitude, in other words the maximum of noise that can be corrected by a Soft-In decoder, anticipating that the resultant nearest non-zero code words will most likely contain the minimum Hamming weight code word, whose Hamming weight is equal to the minimum distance of the linear code. A numerous results prove that the proposed algorithm is valid for general linear codes and it is very fast comparing to all others known techniques, therefore it is a good tool for computing. Comparing to Joanna{\textquoteright}s works, we proof that our algorithm has a low complexity with a fast time of execution. For some linear RQs, QDCs and BCHs codes with unknown minimum distance, we give a good estimation (true) of the minimum distance where the length is less than 439.},

	abstract = {With the emergence of service-oriented architecture (SOA), the provision of business-to-business as well as user-centric services becomes increasingly simple and fluent. Also, the design, development and deployment of services - either elementary or composite - have constantly gained ground. However, the user{\textquoteright}s context must constitute an essential aspect of such services in order to improve the end-user experience. As observed from the literature, several researches focuses mainly on context-aware service design and modeling, but few study had worked on the composition of this new kind of service to provide more complicated features. In this paper, we aim to present our proposal of adapting service composition by the integration of context during the composition process. This dynamic context-aware composition of services is realized through our Context-Aware Composition Builder tool.},

The selection of data to be stored in the mediator (to materialize) is an essential task. Different selection criteria were proposed to select among a set of candidate views, ones that will be materialized. However, the approaches proposed with regard to the creation of these views are rare. This paper presents a data materialization approach, in the scope of a hybrid integration system. This approach creates candidate views for materialization based on the previous user queries, and then decides which among them should be selected for materialization. Guided by the technique of clustering-merging, it is organized into two steps: (1) from the distribution of previous user queries, are extracted all data most queried by users. The obtained data are classified as candidate views for materialization. (2) then selecting which views to materialize among all the candidate views created in the first step.},

	abstract = {Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) refers to an architectural paradigm that describes how organizations, people and systems provide and use services to achieve their goals. Moreover, with the evolution of SOA, the focus in software development has shifted from applications to reusable services. Besides, reuse in SOA has more focused on service composition rather than reuse of existing implementations to build new services with additional functionalities. The preferred way to realize SOA remains web services which explain our interest in promoting reuse of Web services by managing variability. In this paper, we propose a model driven method for managing Web service{\textquoteright}s variability based on MDA (Model Driven Architecture). In fact, through MDA, the method enables the automation of Web service{\textquoteright}s realization regardless of the supported platforms. Moreover, we present a WSDL extension meta-model called VarWSDL which enhances Web services by variability notions. That permits Web services reuse.},

	abstract = {Several approaches adopted by the software engineering community rely on the principle of multi-modeling which allows to separate concerns and to model a system as a set of less complex sub-models. Model composition is a crucial activity in Model Driven Engineering (MDE). It is particularly useful when adopting a multi-modeling approach to analyze and design software systems. In previous work, we have defined a view-based UML profile called VUML. In this paper, we describe a formal approach for model composition in which we consider the composition as an algebraic operator on the set of UML-compliant models. We specify the semantics of our composition operator by means of graph transformations. Furthermore, we present a composition scheme interpreted by a two-steps composition process based on two strategies of correspondence and merging. To illustrate our approach, we apply it to the composition of UML class models diagrams into one VUML model class diagram.},

The ultraslow waves have been initially predicted by a numerical eigenmode analysis and finite-integration frequency domain simulations. Such ultraslow modes can be integrated into free-space technology for spatial delay lines, and traveling wave amplifier as well as sensors due to the enhanced interaction between different beams or radiation and matter.

	abstract = {VUML is a view-based analysis/design method offering a formalism (UML profile) and a process to model software systems through objects and views. The main extension to UML is the multiview class whose goal is to store and deliver information according to the user{\textquoteright}s viewpoint. VUML supports the dynamic change of viewpoints and offers mechanisms to describe view dependencies. On the semantics side, the VUML meta-model extends the UML one with OCL rules. VUML proposes also a generic implementation pattern to generate the object code corresponding to a VUML class diagram. The proposed pattern uses delegation, handle technique and polymorphism. to implement views. In this paper, we present a model driven implementation of this pattern, which integrates the multi-user aspect and supports Java language. We propose a code generation technique that respects the pattern and uses the MDA approach. We specify transformations as a collection of rules implemented in ATL. The proposal is illustrated by a simple example.},

	abstract = {The challenge in the development of complex systems is to cope with the dynamic nature of the user{\textquoteright}s profile, especially when such systems are exposed to the large public through the Internet. In Service oriented computing (SOC), a service may interact with several types of service clients. The central problem is, therefore, how to model the multidimensional aspect of service clients{\textquoteright} needs and requirements. To tackle this problem, we propose in this paper the concept of the multiview service as a first class modeling entity that permits the representation of the needs and requirements of end-users by separating their concerns. Such adaptable services must carefully be analyzed and designed. However, current works on service oriented analysis and design (SOAD) largely focus on defining processes to develop business processes and services without considering user-aware variability. In the present paper we present an MDA framework for a muliview SOAD process for the development of highly adaptable services. We specify transformations as a collection of rules implemented in ATL. The proposal is illustrated by a simple example.},

	abstract = {Component based software (CBS) intends to meet the need of reusability and productivity. Web service technology leads to systems interoperability. This work addresses the development of CBS using web services technology. Undeniably, web service may interact with several types of service clients. The central problem is, therefore, how to handle the multidimensional aspect of service clients{\textquoteright} needs and requirements. To tackle this problem, we propose the concept of multiview component as a first class modelling entity that allows the capture of the various needs of service clients by separating their functional concerns. In this paper, we propose a model driven approach for the development of user-aware web services on the basis of the multiview component concept. So, we describe how multiview component based PIM are transformed into two PSMs for the purpose of the automatic generation of both the user-aware web services description and implementation. We specify transformations as a collection of transformation rules implemented using ATL as a model transformation language.},

M-learning is defined as the use of mobile technologies for learning; m-learning must benefit from e-learning technological advances in order to avoid reinventing the wheel. Nevertheless, m-learning, which is characterized by the use of mobile devices, permits, for example, the learners{\textquoteright} mobility during their learning, and, as opposed to e-learning, allows a continuous change of the context. Moreover, m-learning faces some constraints caused by the use of its mobile technologies such as the limited screen size, reduced energy, resolution capacity and location change during an activity. Yet, there is an agreement among most research laboratories interested in e- and m- learning on the parallel use of these two learning environments. Therefore, it would be mor},

In order to cope with the dynamic nature of user profiles, we propose, in this paper, a Multi-Functional Service oriented system development. While the concept of a service is not new on itself, the multifunctional one provides a convenient new concept which addresses separate properties that cope to different user business domain respecting information pertinence and access right definition. So we focus on a user-driven adaptability of services components. Thus, we present multi-functional service concept; we give a process to identify services common and specific interest according to different user through use cases. We continue our process so to design and deploy such services in the context of the model driven architecture.},

	abstract = {An ad hoe mobile network (MANET), is a collection of wireless mobile hosts that form a temporary network without the aid of any centralized administration or support. In such a network, each mobile node operates not only as a host but also as a router, forwarding packets for other mobile nodes in the network that may be multiple hops away from each other. With those network Characteristics, security has become a primary concern for researchers to meet scientific challenges to market opportunities in term or confidentiality, authentication, integrity, availability, access control, and non-repudiation. In the same way and as a powerful tool in achieving security, the Key Management becomes a corner stone in MANET security by proposing an appropriate secure schema for handling cryptographic keying materials. The Key Management scope includes key generation, key distribution, and key maintenance. In this paper, we aim to evaluate and to present a recent overview on different research works on Key Management in MANETs.},

	abstract = {We present a new method for modeling the left ventricular motion of the heart from a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequence. We propose to model the 3D time-space trajectory of the points of the endocardial regions of the left ventricle (LV) using an harmonic model of movement, which is linear and describes the dynamics of the left ventricle throughout the cardiac cycle. This new state space model is based on the assumption of quasi-periodicity of the cardiac cycle. We describe our method to obtain the state canonical vector and the corresponding state equations of the harmonic state model (HSM). A Kalman filter is used on this harmonic state model as an estimation tool of the filtered trajectory of the LV. It allows to obtain a robust estimation of the state vector which contains the measured parameter and its derivatives. Thus, a robust estimation of the instantaneous velocity of the LV region is computed using the whole information of the sequence included in the harmonic model. The model is validated on real cardiac sequences. We detail how to get the 3D time-space trajectories of the LV edge points. The results obtained are particularly interesting because they demonstrate the capability of our method to understand and discriminate normal cases from pathological cases.},
