	abstract = {This study provides a thorough analysis of earlier DL techniques used to classify the ECG data. The large variability among individual patients and the high expense of labeling clinical ECG records are the main hurdles in automatically detecting arrhythmia by electrocardiogram (ECG). The classification of electrocardiogram (ECG) arrhythmias using a novel and more effective technique is presented in this research. A high-performance electrocardiogram (ECG)-based arrhythmic beats classification system is described in this research to develop a plan with an autonomous feature learning strategy and an effective optimization mechanism, based on the ECG heartbeat classification approach. We propose a method based on efficient 12-layer, the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia dataset{\textquoteright}s five micro-classes of heartbeat types and using the wavelet denoising technique. Compared to state-of-the-art approaches, the newly presented strategy enables considerable accuracy increase with quicker online retraining and less professional involvement. {\textcopyright} 2022 IJETAE Publication House.

	abstract = {With the increasing stringent QoS constraints (e.g., latency, bandwidth, jitter) imposed by novel applications (e.g., e-Health, autonomous vehicles, smart cities, etc.), as well as the rapidly increasing number of connected IoT (Internet of Things) devices, the core network is becoming increasingly congested. To cope with those constraints, Edge Computing (EC) is emerging as an innovative computing paradigm that leverages Cloud computing and brings it closer to the customer. {\textquoteright}EC{\textquoteright} refers to transferring computing power and intelligence from the central Cloud to the network{\textquoteright}s Edge. With that, EC promotes the idea of processing and caching data at the Edge, thus reducing network congestion and latency. This paper presents a detailed, thorough, and well-structured assessment of Edge Computing and its enabling technologies. Initially, we start by defining EC from the ground up, outlining its architectures and evolution from Cloudlets to Multi-Access Edge Computing. Next, we survey recent studies on the main cornerstones of an EC system, including resource management, computation offloading, data management, network management, etc. Besides, we emphasized EC technology enablers, starting with Edge Intelligence, the branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that integrates AI models at resource-constrained edge nodes with significant heterogeneity and mobility. Then, moving on to 5G and its empowering technologies, we explored how EC and 5G complement each other. After that, we studied virtualization and containerization as promising hosting runtime for edge applications. Further to that, we delineated a variety of EC use-case scenarios, e.g., smart cities, e-Health, military applications, etc. Finally, we concluded our survey by highlighting the role of EC integration with future concerns regarding green energy and standardization. {\textcopyright} 2013 IEEE.},

Nowadays, machine learning is widely used in several IT fields; and also in cybersecurity, and can be an essential tool for malware detection, moreover, it can go beyond the limits of classic malware detection methods, such as the signature-based method, the anomaly-based method and the hybrid-based method, etc. The purpose of this study is to analyze the feature selection and extraction effects on the performance of malware classification model using machine learning.

	abstract = {Remote sensing image processing engaged researchers{\textquoteright} attentiveness in recent years, especially classification. 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.},

Our approaches leverage emotion recognition on linguistic content by computing emotion/sentiment scores using pre-trained BERTs on users{\textquoteright} posts and feeding them to machine learning models, including XGBoost, Bi-LSTM, and logistic regression. For Task-A, we detect longitudinal anomalies using a sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) autoencoder and capture regions of mood deviations.

The first computes emotion bandwidths and merges them with n-gram features, and employs logistic regression to detect users{\textquoteright} suicide risk levels. The second model predicts suicide risk on the timeline level using a Bi-LSTM on Task-A results and sentiment scores.

	abstract = {Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are the most widely used systems for road traffic management. The vehicle type classification (VTC) is a crucial ITS task due to its capability to gather valuable traffic information. However, designing a performant VTC method is challenging due to the considerable intra-class variation of vehicles. This paper presents a new quantum decision-based method for VTC applied to video streaming. This method allows for earlier decision-making by considering a few stream{\textquoteright}s images. Our method is threefold. First, the video stream is acquired and preprocessed following a specific pipeline. Second, we aim to detect and track vehicles. Therefore, we apply a deep learning-based model to detect vehicles, and then a vehicle tracking algorithm is used to track each detected vehicle. Third, we seek to classify the tracked vehicle according to six defined classes. Furthermore, we transform the tracked vehicles according to a pipeline, consisting of the histogram of oriented gradients (HOG), and principal component analysis (PCA) methods. Then, we estimate the vehicles{\textquoteright} probabilities of belonging to each class by training multilayer perceptron (MLP) classifier with the resulting features. To assign a class to a vehicle, we apply a quantum-inspired probability integrator that handles each frame{\textquoteright}s information flow. The unique characteristics of the work we propose, compared to the existing ones, are expressed in the decision-making process, since the former requires a sequence of frames of different sizes, compared to the image-based-decision made by the other methods. Our method outperformed the baseline methods with an accuracy up to 96\%. {\textcopyright} 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag London Ltd., part of Springer Nature.},

Ensembles are a set of machine learning techniques combining multiple single learners to find a better variance/bias trade-off and hence improve the prediction accuracy. The present paper aims to review the state of the art in predicting blood glucose using ensemble methods with regard to 8 criteria: publication year and sources, datasets used to train/evaluate the models, types of ensembles used, single learners involved to construct ensembles, combination schemes used to aggregate the base learners, metrics and validation methods adopted to assess the performance of ensembles, reported overall performance of the predictors and accuracy comparison of ensemble techniques with single models. A systematic literature review has been conducted in order to analyze and synthetize primary studies published between 2000 and 2020 in six digital libraries. A total of 32 primary papers were selected and reviewed with regard to eight review questions. The results show that ensembles have gained wider interest during the last years and improved in general the performance compared with other single models. However, multiple gaps have been identified concerning the ensembles construction process and the performance metrics used. Several recommendations have been made in this regard to design accurate ensembles for blood glucose level prediction. {\textcopyright} 2022 Elsevier Ltd},

An opinion is a subjective expression describing personal thoughts and feelings. These thoughts and feelings can be assigned with a certain sentiment. The most studied sentiments are positive, negative, and neutral. Since the introduction of attention mechanism in machine learning, sentiment analysis techniques have evolved from recurrent neural networks to transformer models. Transformer-based models are encoder-decoder systems with attention. Attention mechanism has permitted models to consider only relevant parts of a given sequence. Making use of this feature in encoder-decoder architecture has impacted the performance of transformer models in several natural language processing tasks, including sentiment analysis. A significant number of Arabic transformer-based models have been pre-trained recently to perform Arabic sentiment analysis tasks. Most of these models are implemented based on Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) such as AraBERT, CAMeLBERT, Arabic ALBERT and GigaBERT. Recent studies have confirmed the effectiveness of this type of models in Arabic sentiment analysis. Thus, in this work, two transformer-based models, namely AraBERT and CAMeLBERT have been experimented. Furthermore, an ensemble model has been implemented to achieve more reasonable performance {\textcopyright} 2022, International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications.All Rights Reserved.},

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 = {Air pollution exposure has become ubiquitous and is increasingly detrimental to human health. Small Particulate matter (PM) is one of the most harmful forms of air pollution. It can easily infiltrate the lungs and trigger several respiratory diseases, especially in vulnerable populations such as children and elderly people. In this work, we start by leveraging a retrospective study of 416 children suffering from respiratory diseases. The study revealed that asthma prevalence was the most common among several respiratory diseases, and that most patients suffering from those diseases live in areas of high traffic, noise, and greenness. This paved the way to the construction of the MOREAIR dataset by combining feature abstraction and micro-level scale data collection. Unlike existing data sets, MOREAIR is rich in context-specific components, as it includes 52 temporal or geographical features, in addition to air-quality measurements. The use of Random Forest uncovered the most important features for the understanding of air-quality distribution in Moroccan urban areas. By linking the medical data and the MOREAIR dataset, we observed that the patients included in the medical study come mostly from neighborhoods that are characterized by either high average or high variations of pollution levels. {\textcopyright} 2022 by the authors.

	abstract = {Cloud computing is currently a widely used technology, helping enterprises focus on their value-added, rather than spending time and money acquiring and managing software or hardware solutions. Unfortunately, it suffers from the lock-in problem, which leads cloud customers to use specific solutions from a single cloud provider. On the other hand, the multi-cloud strategy is becoming the trend these days, as it remains the best way to maximize the benefits of cloud computing technology. Consequently, communication between solutions of different cloud providers is necessary to ease access and use of services in multi-cloud environments. Hence, even with efforts to standardize semantic interoperability in multi-cloud computing, this problem remains difficult due to the different representation models used by cloud providers. In this paper, we propose an extended version of a framework presented in a previous work dealing with semantic interoperability in a multi-cloud environment. This extended framework is based on five new components, which improves our previous framework and covers, in addition to the IaaS service model, the PaaS one. The main objective is the retrieval of IaaS resources and PaaS services easily. {\textcopyright} 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

We choose the matching approach depending on the number of sources we wish to integrate: pairwise matching approaches for a small to a medium total number of data sources, and holistic matching approaches for a big to a huge number of data sources. Nevertheless, current matching approaches were proven to achieve a very moderate matching accuracy. Moreover, holistic matching approaches operate in a series of two-way matching steps. In this paper, we present hMatcher, an efficient holistic schema matching approach. To execute holistic schema matching, hMatcher captures frequent schema elements in the given domain prior to any matching operation. To achieve high matching accuracy, hMatcher uses a context-based semantic similarity measure. Experimental results on real-world domain show that hMatcher performs holistic schema matching properly, and outperforms current matching approaches in terms of matching accuracy. {\textcopyright} 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

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.

In this paper, we explore the use of low-cost software-defined radio dongle for electro-smog measurements and more specifically for electro-magnetic fields power measurements and the estimation of the incident power density. We describe how the raw data is collected and then compute the average electromagnetic field power. We then compensate for the non-linearity of the amplifier and the antenna gain to get the corrected electromagnetic field power measurements. We use these measurements to estimate the incident power density which is the metric that we use to evaluate the electro-smog. The results show that the considered low-cost SDR dongle is stable and provides good quality power measurements. The estimation of the incident power density is shown to be accurate enough for monitoring the electro-smog. {\textcopyright} 2013 IEEE.},

	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 = {An extremely competitive business environment requires every company to monitor its competitors and anticipate future opportunities and risks, creating a dire need for competitive intelligence. In response to this need, foresight study became a prominent field, especially the concept of weak signal detection. This research area has been widely studied for its utility, but it is limited by the need of human expert judgments on these signals. Moreover, the increase in the volume of information on the Internet through blogs and web news has made the detection process difficult, which has created a need for automation. Recent studies have attempted topic modeling techniques, specifically latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), for automating the weak signal detection process; however, these approaches do not cover all parts of the process. In this study, we propose a fully automatic LDA-based weak signal detection method, consisting of two filtering functions: the weakness function aimed at filtering topics, which potentially contains weak signals, and the potential warning function, which helps to extract only early warning signs from the previously filtered topics. We took this approach with a famous daily web news dataset, and we could detect the risk of the COVID19 pandemic at an early stage. {\textcopyright} 2020 Elsevier B.V.},

	abstract = {An event log is the key element of all change mining and process mining approaches. Those approaches bridge the gap between conventional business process management and data analysis techniques such as machine learning and data mining. In this day, companies and business organizations usually use a family of business processes that may face different variations and adjustments. Still, those processes are widely identical, with a slight difference in specific points. Consequently, performing a process mining or a change mining for each process will be a redundant task. The use of a configurable process model is a practical solution for redundancy problem. Thus, the process mining areas such as discovering verifying the conformity of a business process and enhancing processes, are reduced considerably. However, the configurable process models and the variability concept are rarely introduced in change mining approaches. The existing methods that analyse and manage event logs do not then consider the variability issue. Therefore, the fact of using a collection of event log becomes a challenging task. Our proposed approach is to merge and filter a collection of event logs from the same family with respect to variability. Our goal is to enhance change mining from a collection of event logs and detect changes in variable fragments of the obtained event log. {\textcopyright} Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.},

All experiments were implemented using Weka JAVA API code 3.8; SPSS v20 was used for statistical tests. The findings confirmed that E-CBR yields to better results compared to CBR for the five classifiers. The MD percentage affects negatively the classifier performance: As the MD percentage increases, the accuracy rates of the classifier decrease regardless the MD mechanism and technique.

Ensemble methods are a set of learning algorithms that have been successfully used in many medical fields to improve the prediction accuracy. This paper aims to review the typology of ensembles used in literature to predict blood glucose. Methods: 32 papers published between 2000 and 2020 in 6 digital libraries were selected and reviewed with regard to: years and publication sources, integrated factors and data sources used to collect the data and types of ensembles. Results: This review results found that this research topic is still recent but is gaining a growing interest in the last years. Ensemble models used often blood glucose, insulin, diet and exercise as input to predict blood glucose. Moreover, both homogeneous and heterogeneous ensembles have been investigated. Conclusions: An increasing interest have been devoted to blood glucose prediction using ensemble methods during the last decade. Several gaps regarding the design of the reviewed ensembles and the data collection process have been identified and recommendations have been formulated in this direction. {\textcopyright} 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

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.},

To address this issue, the present study proposes an improvement of our former 2FA-kprototypes technique referred to as 2FA-cmeans. 2FA-cmeans uses a clustering technique, called general fuzzy c-means, which is a generalization of the fuzzy c-means clustering technique to cluster objects with mixed attributes. The performance of 2FA-cmeans was evaluated and compared with that of our former 2FA-kprototypes technique as well as classical analogy over six datasets that are quite diverse and have different sizes. Empirical results showed that 2FA-cmeans outperforms the two other analogy techniques using both all-in and jackknife evaluation methods. This was also confirmed by the win{\textendash}tie{\textendash}loss statistics and the Scott{\textendash}Knott test. {\textcopyright} 2020 John Wiley \& Sons, Ltd.},

	abstract = {To manage their disease, diabetic patients need to control the blood glucose level (BGL) by monitoring it and predicting its future values. This allows to avoid high or low BGL by taking recommended actions in advance. In this paper, we conduct a comparative study of two emerging deep learning techniques: Long-Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for one-step and multi-steps-ahead forecasting of the BGL based on Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) data. The objectives are twofold: 1) Determining the best strategies of multi-steps-ahead forecasting (MSF) to fit the CNN and LSTM models respectively, and 2) Comparing the performances of the CNN and LSTM models for one-step and multi-steps prediction. Toward these objectives, we firstly conducted series of experiments of a CNN model through parameters selection to determine its best configuration. The LSTM model we used in the present study was developed and evaluated in an earlier work. Thereafter, five MSF strategies were developed and evaluated for the CNN and LSTM models using the Root-Mean-Square Error (RMSE) with an horizon of 30~min. To statistically assess the differences between the performances of CNN and LSTM models, we used the Wilcoxon statistical test. The results showed that: 1) no MSF strategy outperformed the others for both CNN and LSTM models, and 2) the proposed CNN model significantly outperformed the LSTM model for both one-step and multi-steps prediction. {\textcopyright} 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

We show that the proposed scheme is efficient and easily scalable, and provides a coding potential of 1.97 bit per nucleotide, and a reasonable net information density of 0.75 bit/nt under the considered experimental conditions, with relatively a lower decoding complexity and costs compared to other DNA data storage approaches. {\textcopyright} 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

We represent shape variation using three features, the aspect ratio of the bounding box, the orientation of an ellipse representing the body, and the aspect ratio of the projection histogram. For motion variation, we extract several features from three blocks corresponding to the head, center of the body, and feet using optical flow. For each block, we compute the speed and the direction of motion. Each activity is represented by a feature vector constructed from variations in shape and motion features for a set of frames. A support vector machine is used to classify fall and non-fall activities. Experiments on three different datasets show the effectiveness of our proposed method. {\textcopyright} 2020, The Author(s).},

	abstract = {Nowadays, the cybersecurity issue involves new strategies to protect against advanced threats and unknown attacks. Intrusion detection system (IDS) is considered a robust system dealing with attacks detection, particularly unknown attacks and anomalies. Several IDS-based algorithms have been recently inspected in the literature, among them the well-known strengthen algorithms, i.e. Genetic algorithm (GA). Moreover, Epigenetic-based algorithm (EGA) is known as an improved version of GA ensuring high performance with reduced computational complexity. Its main goal is to converge within a short time towards an optimal solution by acting on genetic operators, namely mutation and crossover. In this article, we propose a new classifier based on EGA for IDS. Especially, based on a database of network traffics, EGA is applied to classify attacks. The results, performed through EGA simulation, show that the performance of the proposed technique outperforms the ones of GA classifier by obtaining a high detection rate up to 98\% and a faster processing time than that of GA and other algorithms that we have compared in this article. {\textcopyright} 2020 BMJ Publishing Group.

	abstract = {Nowadays, process mining offers key tools for companies to discover and develop continuously their processes. Moreover, many research works focus on the application of process mining techniques to manage configurable process models. To provide configurable process models with high quality and less complexity using process mining techniques, the preparation of event logs before discovering processes is strongly required. Therefore, various approaches have introduced semantics to derive knowledge from process execution traces. Although, this knowledge is used for discovering variability rules or deriving process variants. However, existing works lack the discovery of semantically enriched configurable process models from event logs. Since event logs are usually combined with semantics and domain ontology for optimizing process mining applications, it seems to be important to introduce a new approach of semantically enriched configurable process discovery. It will be helpful during configuration, validation, and enhancement of configurable processes that are extracted from event logs. In this paper, we present a new framework for event logs preprocessing using ontologies. Our aim is to enrich a collection of event logs with concepts from ontologies as a first step towards discovering a semantically enriched configurable process. {\textcopyright} 2021 IEEE.},

One of the most critical issues for MANETs is how to increase network lifetime, since nodes are typically battery powered. In this paper we consider the proactive MANET protocol OLSR to improve the network lifetime, we propose a novel multiple metric routing scheme for MANET, based on energy efficient and path reliability metrics, integrating it to standard OLSR, named Energy Efficient and Path Reliability OLSR (EEPR-OLSR), in which we investigate cross layer parameters that effect the network lifetime and a prediction-based link availability estimation is introduced. Simulation results, by NS3 simulator, show that the proposed EEPR-OLSR provides significant performance gains in both the network lifetime and packet delivery ration (PDR), compared to the standard OLSR.},

Our main contribution is to exploit the cyclic property of cyclic linear codes to reduce the complexity of the decoding process especially in the test sequences generation and re-encoding stage where we use the generator polynomial instead of the generator matrix. The second idea behind our decoding algorithm is the complexity improvement inside of cGA by decreasing the probability vector{\textquoteright}s length, which becomes less than the length of the cGA original one. The experiments were carried out on the most popular cyclic codes, and the results show that the performances of our algorithm are better than some famous decoding algorithms in terms of Bit Error Rate. {\textcopyright} 2016 IEEE.},

	abstract = {Background and objective: In the 21st century, e-health is proving to be one of the strongest drivers for the global transformation of the health care industry. Health information is currently truly ubiquitous and widespread, but in order to guarantee that everyone can appropriately access and understand this information, regardless of their origin, it is essential to bridge the international gap. The diversity of health information seekers languages and cultures signifies that e-health applications must be adapted to satisfy their needs. Methods: In order to achieve this objective, current and future e-health programs should take into account the internationalization aspects. This paper presents an internationalization requirements specification in the form of a reusable requirements catalog, obtained from the principal related standards, and describes the key methodological elements needed to perform an e-health software audit by using the internationalization knowledge previously gathered. Results: S Health, a relevant, well-known Android application that has more than 150 million users in over 130 countries, was selected as a target for the e-health internationalization audit method and requirements specification presented above. This application example helped us to put into practice the proposal and show that the procedure is realistic and effective. Conclusions: The approach presented in this study is subject to continuous improvement through the incorporation of new knowledge originating from additional information sources, such as other standards or stakeholders. The application example is useful for early evaluation and serves to assess the applicability of the internationalization catalog and audit methodology, and to improve them. It would be advisable to develop of an automated tool with which to carry out the audit method. {\textcopyright} 2017 Elsevier B.V.},

Then, we used a set of reliable performance measures and Borda count to rank them and identify which techniques are the most accurate.

	abstract = {In Mobile Ad-hoc Networks, nodes exchange packets with each other using intermediate nodes as relays. Since nodes in MANETs are battery powered, energy conservation is a crucial issue. Accepting relay all request may not be in the best interest of a node. But if many nodes prefer not to consume energy in relaying packets on behalf of others, the overall performance of routing in network will be influenced. In this paper we address the energy-efficient routing problem in MANETs with selfish nodes. We modeled this problem as a game-theoretic constraint optimization; we defined the utility of each node as a weighted difference between a performance metric and some transmission costs. A motivate mechanism is proposed in order to induce nodes to forwarding cooperation. Each node independently implements the optimal equilibrium strategy under the given constraints. Simulation results by NS3 simulator show that our proposed approach can improve system performance in network lifetime and packet delivery ratio. {\textcopyright} 2017 De Gruyter Open Ltd.

A total of 756 experiments were conducted involving seven data sets, three MD techniques (toleration, deletion and KNN imputation), three missingness mechanisms (MCAR: missing completely at random, MAR: missing at random, NIM: non-ignorable missing), and MD percentages from 10 percent to 90 percent. The results of accuracy measured in terms of Pred(0.25) confirm the findings of a study which used the SA measure. Moreover, we found that SA and Pred(0.25) measure different aspects of technique performance. Hence, SA is not sufficient to conclude about the technique accuracy and it should be used with other metrics, especially Pred(0.25). {\textcopyright} 2016 IEEE.},

Many techniques are used by the place and route (P\&R) electronic design automation (EDA) tools to meet the power requirement. In this paper, we will evaluate, independently from the library file, the impact of redefining the max transition constraint (MTC) before the power optimization phase, and we will study the impact of over-constraining or under-constraining a design on power in order to find the best trade-off between design constraining and power optimization. Experimental results showed that power optimization depends on the applied MTC and that the MTC value corresponding to the best power reduction results is different from the default MTC. By using a new MTC definition method on several designs, we found that the power gain between the default methodology and the new one reaches 2.34\%. {\textcopyright} 2017 by the authors.

This huge amount of data can also help a business identify the strengths and weaknesses of its competitors and, thus, stay ahead of them. Finally, big data can provide businesses with real-time insights that would enable them to spot or predict problems, and solve them before they happen.

To do that, firstly we have carried out an empirical evaluation of the influence of mobile limitations on Diffserv classes by means of the Sensorly tool. 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.},

Our main result is a new simple approximate closed-form of the SNR PDF at the output of three types of receivers over Weibull multipath fading channels. The advantage of this new expression is that its evaluation time is less compared to all previous results. Based on this expression, approximate analytical expressions of the outage probability (OP), the average bit error rate (BER) for several M-ary modulation techniques, and the average channel capacity (CC) are derived in terms of only one particular hypergeometric function, known as Fox-H function.

On the other hand, it is important to determine the irrelevant factors as a preprocessing step for ELF. Our contribution consists of investigating the importance of applying the feature selection approach for removing the irrelevant factors of electric load. The experimental results elucidate the feasibility of applying feature selection without decreasing the performance of the SVR-PSO model for ELF.},

In this paper, we consider the demand-side management issue that exists for a group of consumers (houses) that are equipped with renewable energy (wind turbines) and storage units (battery), and we try to find the optimal scheduling for their home appliances, in order to reduce their electricity bills. Our simulation results prove the effectiveness of our approach, as they show a significant reduction in electricity costs when using renewable energy and battery storage. {\textcopyright} 2015 KIPS.},

	abstract = {Background and Purpose Engineering education in northwest Middle East and North Africa (MENA) or Maghreb countries, and more specifically in Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia, has several similarities in terms of the model it is based on and also the challenges and opportunities it is concerned with. In contrast with other countries from the MENA region, these countries adopt the French engineering education mainly for historical reasons. In this system, the engineering schools {\textquotedblleft}Grandes {\'E}coles{\textquotedblright} are generally higher education institutions that do not necessarily belong to a university as is the case in many higher education systems in the rest of the MENA region and worldwide. These schools are today facing several complex and multifaceted challenges related with different issues such as accreditation and quality assurance, engineering education paradigms, English communication skills, and entrepreneurship and innovation. Design/Method/Approach This study focuses on the engineering education ecosystem in northwest MENA countries, namely, Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia, in an effort to investigate its characteristics, challenges, and opportunities. A comparative study of the engineering education system of these countries with those established in developed countries, with world-class engineering schools, will help understand how these systems are dealing with the challenges of the twenty-first century and how they benefit from the different opportunities available to them. This will help draw some conclusions and recommendations for the northwest MENA countries{\textquoteright} system so that it may contribute more effectively and efficiently to the technological, industrial, economic, and social development and welfare of the countries it involves. Results/Anticipations This study shows that these countries should engage in a very important reform of their engineering education system to overcome several shortcomings and limitations affecting the overall performances of their engineering education system. Conclusions The main conclusions of this study are expressed in the form of some recommendations to education policy-makers of northwest MENA countries, which would help improve engineering education systems in these countries through different actions addressing several deficiencies and shortcomings. It is also worth noting that most of these recommendations are valid for any engineering education system wishing to provide world-class engineers for the globalized world of the twenty-first century. {\textcopyright} Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016.},

The Results of simulations using OLSR and AODV protocols have shown that energy-based selfishness is a big problem and could affect the performance in MANETS depending on the mobility of nodes, size and density of the network. We{\textquoteright}ll try to prove that the selfish behaviour can be used to impact quality of service (QoS) and security in MANETS.

This paper identifies the current list of certified EHRs for cardiovascular medicine and assesses the specifications of the EHRs selected. The result of this paper may assist EHR seekers for cardiovascular medicine in their tasks.},

	abstract = {The evolution of mobile communication in the health sector has improved patients{\textquoteright} quality of care. Nowadays, doctors can make diagnosis even though the patient is miles away using mobile technologies such as smart phones or tablet PCs. Nevertheless, the exchange of medical information through mobile devices brings on serious threats to patients{\textquoteright} privacy. We believe that privacy must be considered during the development of any mobile healthcare system. In this paper we discuss the efficiency of current privacy and security protection mechanisms used in current mobile systems. The nature and the diversity of medical information shared between different entities (physicians, hospitals, laboratories, pharmacies.) increases privacy and security risks. Thus, we introduce a new conceptual module to preserve privacy in mobile healthcare. By integrating this module into current mobile healthcare systems architecture, we obtain a privacy-preserving system enabling patients to monitor and manage the disclosure of their sensitive health information during a mobile transaction. {\textcopyright} 2014 IEEE.},

	abstract = {E-Readiness is an assessment process for the ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) availability and use in a country. It consists in the calculation of a composite indicator based on a conceptual framework related to ICT aspects. The assessment report is used in E-Strategy to formulate action plans for e-Readiness index development. Several approaches are used for e-Readiness since the end of nineties; these approaches lack flexibility and require frequent and precise measurements. Thus, two issues are addressed in this paper: the missing measurements estimation problem and the lack of e-Strategy formulation assistance and simulation tools and approaches. Indeed, we propose in this paper an approach to define the transition matrix of the e-Readiness state equation based on a layered model. This construction leads to a state model related to the e-Readiness dynamic system and then is used with KALMAN Filter to cover the two addressed issues. Indeed, the commands variables are indicators that can be manipulated by e-Strategy stakeholder and the KALMAN filter estimation and prediction functions are used as a simulator. For validation, we constructed a model based on the I2010 e-Readiness initiative and we tested the convergence of the model and its prediction function. Results are encouraging since the tested model prediction function converges in 24 cases out of 27 (89\%). {\textcopyright} 2005 - 2014 JATIT \& LLS. All rights reserved.},

In this paper a systematic mapping study was performed to summarize the existing SPQ evaluation (SPQE) approaches in literature and to classify the selected studies according to seven classification criteria: SPQE approaches, research types, empirical types, data sets used in the empirical evaluation of these studies, artifacts, SQ models, and SQ characteristics. Publication channels and trends were also identified. 57 papers were selected. The results show that the main publication sources of the papers identified were journals. Data mining techniques are the most frequently approaches reported in literature. Solution proposals were the main research type identified. The majority of the selected papers were history-based evaluations using existing data, which were mainly obtained from open source software projects and domain specific projects. Source code was the main artifacts used by SPQE approaches. Well-known SQ models were mentioned by half of the selected papers and reliability is the SQ characteristic through which SPQE was mainly achieved. SPQE-related subjects seem to attract more interest from researchers since the past years. {\textcopyright} 2014 IEEE.},

Practically, in this correspondence, we propose an implementation technique for detection and tracking system which detect and track people{\textquoteright}s in motion using a fixed single camera. These bi-techniques simplify the process of people tracking and give a new way for people tracking. Moreover, in this system we choose to detect moving people with the more robust algorithm (Gaussian Mixture Model) in term of misclassified pixels. Thereafter, we track a bloc 8x8 from the bounding box containing the moving person by returning the position of the similar bloc in the next frame. This bloc position is detected by maximization of the Fast Fourier Transform-Correlation (FFT-Corr) and minimizing the error: optimized Sum of Absolute Difference (OSAD) between the bloc reference and the similar bloc. {\textcopyright} 2005 - 2013 JATIT \& LLS.

This paper objective aims at filling this lack by presenting a new approach for Assessment of Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) Strategic Alignment. The underlined concepts are based on Enterprise Architecture (EA) related concepts, providing a clear and comprehensive view of the structure and operations of the healthcare system. This paper focus on how to carry out an internal EA analysis that aims at measuring HIS alignment via a set of metrics determining if the business processes, sub-processes, applications and databases are actually achieving their purpose. This will enable all parties involved in the HIS management process to stay abreast of what has been really attained, which goals are being met, and what needs to be changed.},

A thorough examination of a large set of these online tools has revealed that social media have many educational advantages. In fact, it has been found out that these web-based applications can improve communication among students and between teachers and students. Thanks to these technologies, both teachers and students can interact with each other in a matter of seconds. Social media can also be used to promote students{\textquoteright} engagement. Students who often complain of being intimidated or bored in the classroom may feel comfortable to express their creativity and voice their opinion on a social network website. Another finding of this study is that social media applications foster collaboration as they allow students to work together to achieve a common goal. Given these educational benefits, we recommend that these online social tools should be used in learning environments. [ABSTRACT},

	abstract = {A computationally efficient algorithm for decoding block codes is developed using a genetic algorithm (GA). The proposed algorithm uses the dual code in contrast to the existing genetic decoders in the literature that use the code itself. Hence, this new approach reduces the complexity of decoding the codes of high rates. We simulated our algorithm in various transmission channels. The performance of this algorithm is investigated and compared with competitor decoding algorithms including Maini and Shakeel ones. The results show that the proposed algorithm gives large gains over the Chase-2 decoding algorithm and reach the performance of the OSD-3 for some quadratic residue (QR) codes. Further, we define a new crossover operator that exploits the domain specific information and compare it with uniform and two point crossover. The complexity of this algorithm is also discussed and compared to other algorithms [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]},

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 = {In healthcare the importance of obtaining the right information, at the right time, irrespective of time and location dependency is very critical. Healthcare personnel need to access real-time medical data such as patient clinical histories, laboratory results, treatments, chronic diseases, medication, and insurance information. Therefore, healthcare is the most apt domain for the application of ubiquitous technologies. Ubiquitous health care aims at creating an environment where healthcare is available to everyone, everywhere through the use of technologies that would not only be pervasive but also be assimilated flawlessly in the daily lives. With large-scale wireless networks and mobile computing solutions, such as cellular 3G, Wi-Fi mesh, WiMAX, Bluetooth, RFID, and Wireless Sensor Networks, health care personnel can tap into vital information anywhere and at any time within the health care networks. Ubiquitous healthcare, although promising, there are myriad challenges associated with realizing its vision. This paper highlights some snapshots of current uses and future trends of various wireless communications in the healthcare domains, addresses their applications for e-health, states the challenges faced in a ubiquitous healthcare environment equipped with different wireless technologies, and how the resulting issues might be addressed by developing a framework that provides a flexible and convenient medical monitoring, consultation, and healthcare.},

Nevertheless, the problem of Unbalanced Data Sets was not enough tackled within this research area. This paper presents the study we have carried out to address the problem of unbalanced data sets in supervised sentiment classification in a multi-lingual context. We propose three different methods to under-sample the majority class documents. These methods are Remove Similar, Remove Farthest and Remove by Clustering. Our goal is to compare the effectiveness of the proposed methods with the common random under-sampling. We also aim to evaluate the behavior of the classifiers toward different under-sampling rates. We use three different common classifiers, namely Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machines and k-Nearest Neighbors. The experiments are carried out on two Arabic data sets and an English data set. We show that the four under-sampling methods are typically competitive. Naive Bayes is shown as insensitive to unbalanced data sets. But Support Vector Machines seems to be highly sensitive to unbalanced data sets; k-Nearest Neighbors shows a slight sensitivity to imbalance in comparison with Support Vector Machines.},

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.},

	abstract = {Nowadays, the business IT alignment has become a priority in most large organizations. It is a question of aligning the information system on the business strategies of the organization. This step is aimed at increasing the practical value of the information system and makes it a strategic asset for the organization. Many works showed the importance of documentation, the analysis and the evaluation of business IT alignment, but few proposed solutions applicable to the strategic and functional level. This paper aims has to fill this gap by proposing a simple approach for modeling enterprise strategy in the context of strategic alignment. This approach is illustrated by case study of a real project in a Moroccan public administration.},

Appropriate definition, analysis, checking and improvement of those business process models are indispensable before their deployment within workflow management systems. In this paper, we focus on business process model verification that insures business process structural correctness. Our proposal consist in a new efficient hybrid algorithm of workflow graph structural validation combining graph reduction and traversal mechanisms. Our algorithm will be disussed and compared to existing workflow structural checking approaches from completeness and performance points of view.},

	abstract = {Estimation models in software engineering are used to predict some important attributes of future entities such as software development effort, software reliability and programmers productivity. Among these models, those estimating software effort have motivated considerable research in recent years. The prediction procedure used by these software-effort models can be based on a mathematical function or other techniques such as analogy based reasoning, neural networks, regression trees, and rule induction models. Estimation by analogy is one of the most attractive techniques in the software effort estimation field. However, the procedure used in estimation by analogy is not yet able to handle correctly linguistic values (categorical data) such as {\textquoteleft}very low{\textquoteright}, {\textquoteleft}low{\textquoteright} and {\textquoteleft}high{\textquoteright}. In this paper, we propose a new approach based on reasoning by analogy, fuzzy logic and linguistic quantifiers to estimate software project effort when it is described either by numerical or linguistic values; this approach is referred to as Fuzzy Analogy. This paper also presents an empirical validation of our approach based on the COCOMO{\textquoteright}81 dataset.},

Hence, our research objective is to design and implement an exam distance learning environment (EDILE). The EDILE covers all stages of the assessment process, beginning from the edition of the exam until the correction of the student answers and the display of their grades. The major challenge that EDILE has to deal with is distance and security. Actually six different institutes are concerned by EDILE and we have to prevent from any fraud before during and after exams. This paper presents EDILE specifications which type of questions it handles, how the exam structure is defined and the questions scheduled Some security issues are also discussed.},
