	abstract = {Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have become a full-fledged branch of the most important neural network models for unsupervised machine learning. A multitude of loss functions have been developed to train the GAN discriminators and they all have a common structure: a sum of real and false losses which depend only on the real losses and generated data respectively. A challenge associated with an equally weighted sum of two losses is that the formation can benefit one loss but harm the other, which we show causes instability and mode collapse. In this article, we introduce a new family of discriminant loss functions which adopts a weighted sum of real and false parts. With the use the gradients of the real and false parts of the loss, we can adaptively choose weights to train the discriminator in the sense that benefits the stability of the GAN model. Our method can potentially be applied to any discriminator model with a loss which is a sum of the real and fake parts. Our method consists in adjusting the hyper-parameters appropriately in order to improve the training of the two antagonistic models Experiences validated the effectiveness of our loss functions on image generation tasks, improving the base results by a significant margin on dataset Celebdata.

	abstract = {Open-source software are very used nowadays in the industry, and the performance of the estimation of their maintenance effort becomes an interesting research topic. In this context, researchers have conducted many open-source software maintenance effort estimation (O-MEE) studies based on statistical and machine learning (ML) techniques for better estimation. This study focuses on the impact of instance selection on the performance of ML techniques in O-MEE, mainly for bug resolution. An empirical study was conducted using three techniques: K-nearest neighbor (kNN), support vector machine (SVM), and multinomial na{\"\i}ve Bayes (MNB) using all-kNN instance selection algorithms on three datasets: Eclipse JDT, Eclipse Platform, and Mozilla Thunderbird datasets. This study reports on a set of 18 experiments and a comparison of the results. The results of this study show that instance selection helped make ML techniques more performant. {\textcopyright} 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

	abstract = {Recommender Systems (RS) have become very important recently, they are a main component of many applications in different fields. They aim to give beneficial information according to the profile of each user among the huge existing online information. RS are based on several approaches to provide the best results and give satisfaction to the active user. Collaborative filtering is one of these approaches. It helps to choose a product according to the consumer{\textquoteright}s preference from many and various choices. It uses the k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) technique for the extraction of similar users from the group of users. In this paper, we will study the effect of the parameters of the kNN algorithm on the obtained results. For that, we have varied the value of k, then we have measured for each value the prediction accuracy, using the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) metrics. The experiments are carried out also to find the value of k which gives good results in both metrics. Then we have calculated also the RMSE and MAE metrics for different similarities in order to find the similarity which gives good results compared to others. {\textcopyright} 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

	abstract = {In our world of massive entertainment options and with thousands of choices on every movie platform, the user found himself in the circle of confusion over which movie to choose. Here the solution is using the recommender systems to predict user{\textquoteright}s interests and recommend items most likely to interest them. Recommender systems are utilized in a variety of areas and are most commonly recognized as playlist generators for video and music services, product recommenders for online stores as AliExpress and Amazon.., or content recommenders for social media platforms and open web content recommenders. In this paper, we propose a new powerful recommender system that combines Content Based Filtering (CBF) with the popular unsupervised machine learning algorithm K-means clustering. To recommend items to an active user, K-means is then applied to the movie data to give each movie a specific cluster and after founding the cluster to which the user belongs, the content-based approach applies to all movies with the same cluster. The experimentation of well-known movies, we show that the proposed system satisfies the predictability of the Content-Based algorithm in GroupLens. In addition, our proposed system improves the performance and temporal response speed of the traditional collaborative filtering technique and the content-based technique. {\textcopyright} 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

	abstract = {The wind turbine (WT) based on a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) has experienced a fast evolution in the world, which leads to an increasing insertion of this type of generators in WTs connected to the electrical networks. When a voltage dips appears on the grid, the aero-generator can lose its operation, the voltage drop produces high peaks currents on the generator winding, without protection, the power converters will suffer also from over-current limit, as a consequence, it may be damaged and the DFIG be destroyed. In this chapter a new Direct Power Control (DPC) approach was applied, to improve the aero-generator operation under the network faults. The DPC approach was designed using the nonlinear Back-Stepping Controller (BSC) to ensure the robustness of the system. A comparison study was investigated to verify the performances of the DPC-based-BSC to that of the vector control (VC) based Proportional-Integral (PI). All were simulated using the Matlab/Simulink{\textregistered} environment. {\textcopyright} 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

Feature selection (FS) is a crucial phase too, because it is intended to increase the efficiency of Machine Learning (ML) models in terms of predictiveness, by assigning a representative value to the most important features in a dataset of malware. In this study, we focus on feature selection using embedded-based methods in order to minimize computational time and complexity of ML models. Embedded-based methods combine advantages of both filter-based and wrapped-based methods, in terms of studying the importance of features while executing the model and their reduced time of execution.

	abstract = {Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is deemed a promising technique for future wireless and mobile technologies due to its ability to reconfigure the radio propagation environment. In this paper, we analyze the physical layer security (PLS) of a downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) network through an IRS intended for assisting the wireless transmission, taking into account the external and internal eavesdropping scenarios. Considering the hardware limitations, a 1-bit coding scheme is utilized to investigate the secrecy performance of the IRS-aided NOMA (IRS-NOMA) network. Exact and asymptotic expressions in terms of the secrecy outage probability (SOP) and the effective secrecy throughput (EST) are presented, which are in consideration of the imperfect successive interference cancellation (ipSIC) and perfect SIC (pSIC). Based on the analytical results, the secrecy diversity orders are related to the number of reflecting elements and EST ceilings are observed in the high SNR regime. Monte Carlo simulations are presented to corroborate the correctness of the analyses and illustrate that the IRS-NOMA scheme is superior in the secrecy outage performance to the IRS-aided orthogonal multiple access scheme. In addition, the SOP performance enhancement through the increased number of reflecting elements and the improvement of EST through proper target secrecy rate are also evidenced by the simulations. {\textcopyright} 1967-2012 IEEE.},

As a case study, the MPC algorithm was deployed for control of a standalone ventilation system (VS). The objective is to maintain the indoor Carbon Dioxide (CO2) concentration at the standard comfort range while enhancing energy efficiency in the building. The proposed framework has been tested and deployed in a real-case scenario of the EEBLab test site. The MPC controller has been implemented on MATLAB/Simulink and deployed in a Raspberry Pi (RPi) hardware. Contextual data are collected using the deployed IoT/big data platform and injected into the MPC and LSTM machine learning models. Occupants{\textquoteright} numbers were first forecasted and then sent to the MPC to predict the optimal ventilation flow rates. The performance of the MPC control over the HIL framework has been assessed and compared to an ON/OFF strategy.

	note = {cited By 4},
	abstract = {Context: Recently, the machine learning (ML) field has been rapidly growing, mainly owing to the availability of historical datasets and advanced computational power. This growth is still facing a set of challenges, such as the interpretability of ML models. In particular, in the medical field, interpretability is a real bottleneck to the use of ML by physicians. Therefore, numerous interpretability techniques have been proposed and evaluated to help ML gain the trust of its users. Methods: This review was carried out according to the well-known systematic map and review process to analyze the literature on interpretability techniques when applied in the medical field with regard to different aspects: publication venues and publication year, contribution and empirical types, medical and ML disciplines and objectives, ML black-box techniques interpreted, interpretability techniques investigated, their performance and the best performing techniques, and lastly, the datasets used when evaluating interpretability techniques. Results: A total of 179 articles (1994{\textendash}2020) were selected from six digital libraries: ScienceDirect, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, SpringerLink, Wiley, and Google Scholar. The results showed that the number of studies dealing with interpretability increased over the years with a dominance of solution proposals and experiment-based empirical type. Diagnosis, oncology, and classification were the most frequent medical task, discipline, and ML objective studied, respectively. Artificial neural networks were the most widely used ML black-box techniques investigated for interpretability. Additionally, global interpretability techniques focusing on a specific black-box model, such as rules, were the dominant explanation types, and most of the metrics used to evaluate interpretability were accuracy, fidelity, and number of rules. Moreover, the variety of the techniques used by the selected papers did not allow categorization at the technique level, and the high number of the sum of evaluations (671) of the articles raised a suspicion of subjectivity. Datasets that contained numerical and categorical attributes were the most frequently used in the selected studies. Conclusions: Further effort is needed in disciplines other than diagnosis and classification. Global techniques such as rules are the most used because of their comprehensibility to doctors, but new local techniques should be explored more in the medical field to gain more insights into the model{\textquoteright}s behavior. More experiments and comparisons against existing techniques are encouraged to determine the best performing techniques. Lastly, quantitative evaluation of interpretability and physicians{\textquoteright} implications in interpretability techniques evaluation is highly recommended to evaluate how the techniques will perform in real-world scenarios. It can ensure the soundness of the techniques and help gain trust in black-box models in medical environments. {\textcopyright} 2022 Elsevier B.V.},

This new paradigm shift affects all the enterprise architecture layers from infrastructure to business. Business Process Management (BPM) is a field among others that is affected by this new technology. To assist data and events explosion resulting, among others, from IoT, data analytic processes combined with event processing techniques, examine large data sets to uncover hidden patterns, unknown correlations between collected events, either at a very technical level (incident/anomaly detection, predictive maintenance) or at business level (customer preferences, market trends, revenue opportunities) to provide improved operational efficiency, better customer service and competitive advantages over rival organizations. In order to capitalize the business value of data and events generated by IoT sensors, IoT, Data Analytics and BPM need to meet in the middle. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end IoT-BPM integration architecture (IoDEP: IoT-Data-Event-Process) for a proactive business process incident management.

	abstract = {The fifth-generation (5G) wireless network is commercialized. The need to integrate massive devices in 5G and wireless sensor networks (WSN) to provide several convenient services for network users becomes imperative. However, there are growing concerns that 5G-WSNs pose new security threats to sensitive user information. User authentication and key agreement have been provided for secure end-to-end communication. However, stricter security techniques are required as billions of massive devices are being networked to collect and process complex user data in real-time. Therefore, anonymous authentication and authorization are highly coveted for privacy preservation and prevention of unlawful exploitation of user data. However, guaranteeing data integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation require special-purpose identity-based signature techniques that are quite difficult to design in practice. In order to address this problem, this paper proposes a lightweight, provably secure identity-based online/offline signature technique (IBOOST) and its extension for massive devices in 5G-WSNs using fractional chaotic maps. The IBOOST scheme achieves multi-time use of offline storage at a lower processing time. Therefore, the signer can reuse the offline pre-stored information in a polynomial time. This makes our IBOOST superior to the existing online/offline signature techniques that allow only a single signature. Additionally, the new technique enables the pre-registration process with a secret key, and no secret key is required in the offline stage. Also, the proposed IBOOST proves to be secure in the random oracle unforgeability under the chosen message attack (UF-IBS-CMA). Finally, the IBOOST and its enhanced version (A-IBOOST) give the lowest computational costs compared to several contending techniques. Therefore, the proposed IBOOST shows superior security and performance with better computational overhead than the preliminary techniques. {\textcopyright} 2013 IEEE.},

Such a strategy aims at reducing the overall search time and impact of uncertainties caused by the motion of targets, as well as improving the detection efficiency of UAVs. Specifically, we report, based on the UAV{\textquoteright}s scan of a location and taking into account (i) the detection and communication coverage limitations, and (ii) either a false alarm or inaccurate detection of the target, either the existence or the absence of the target. Moreover, leveraging a cooperative and competitive particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, a decentralized target search model, relying on a real-time dynamic construction of cooperative UAV local sub-swarms (LoPSO), is proposed. Each sub-swarm strives to validate quickly the target location, updated based on the Bayesian theory. In such a strategy, each UAV operates in two flight modes, namely, either in swarm mode or in Greedy mode, and takes into consideration the received data from other UAVs to improve the overall environmental information. The simulation results revealed that the LoPSO outperforms other well-known searching methods of target methods for target search in unknown environments in terms of both performance and computational complexity. {\textcopyright} 2013 IEEE.},

First, conversion of web service semantically described in OWL and OWL-S to an alternative problem and domain description specified in the planning domain description language (PDDL) is made. Then, a planner (AI Planner) using the Genetic Algorithm (GA) features will be invoked, by adapting the PDDL planning language actions to the GA rules, in order to generate the most optimal composition plan (sequence of PDDL actions), which solves the conceived service composition problem, having a goal to achieve (the intention) according to the problem domain description (context). {\textcopyright} 2021 IEEE.},

	abstract = {Building operations represent a significant percentage of the total primary energy consumed in most countries due to the proliferation of Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) installations in response to the growing demand for improved thermal comfort. Reducing the associated energy consumption while maintaining comfortable conditions in buildings are conflicting objectives and represent a typical optimization problem that requires intelligent system design. Over the last decade, different methodologies based on the Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques have been deployed to find the sweet spot between energy use in HVAC systems and suitable indoor comfort levels to the occupants. This paper performs a comprehensive and an in-depth systematic review of AI-based techniques used for building control systems by assessing the outputs of these techniques, and their implementations in the reviewed works, as well as investigating their abilities to improve the energy-efficiency, while maintaining thermal comfort conditions. This enables a holistic view of (1) the complexities of delivering thermal comfort to users inside buildings in an energy-efficient way, and (2) the associated bibliographic material to assist researchers and experts in the field in tackling such a challenge. Among the 20 AI tools developed for both energy consumption and comfort control, functions such as identification and recognition patterns, optimization, predictive control. Based on the findings of this work, the application of AI technology in building control is a promising area of research and still an ongoing, i.e., the performance of AI-based control is not yet completely satisfactory. This is mainly due in part to the fact that these algorithms usually need a large amount of high-quality real-world data, which is lacking in the building or, more precisely, the energy sector. Based on the current study, from 1993 to 2020, the application of AI techniques and personalized comfort models has enabled energy savings on average between 21.81 and 44.36\%, and comfort improvement on average between 21.67 and 85.77\%. Finally, this paper discusses the challenges faced in the use of AI for energy productivity and comfort improvement, and opens main future directions in relation with AI-based building control systems for human comfort and energy-efficiency management. {\textcopyright} 2021 Elsevier Ltd},

To recommend items to an active user, Collaborative Filtering approach then is applied to the cluster where the user belongs. Following the experimentation for well known movies, we show that the proposed system satisfies the predictability of the CF algorithm in GroupLens.

	abstract = {Breast Cancer (BC) is one of the most common forms of cancer among women. Detecting and accurately diagnosing breast cancer at an early phase increase the chances of women{\textquoteright}s survival. For this purpose, various single classification techniques have been investigated to diagnosis BC. Nevertheless, none of them proved to be accurate in all circumstances. Recently, a promising approach called ensemble classifiers have been widely used to assist physicians accurately diagnose BC. Ensemble classifiers consist on combining a set of single classifiers by means of an aggregation layer. The literature in general shows that ensemble techniques outperformed single ones when ensemble members are accurate (i.e. have the lowest percentage error) and diverse (i.e. the single classifiers make uncorrelated errors on new~instances). Hence, selecting ensemble members is often a crucial task since it can lead to the opposite: single techniques outperformed their ensemble. This paper evaluates and compares ensemble members{\textquoteright} selection based on accuracy and diversity with ensemble members{\textquoteright} selection based on accuracy only. A comparison with ensembles without member selection was also performed. Ensemble performance was assessed in terms of accuracy, F1-score. Q statistics diversity measure was used to calculate the classifiers diversity. The experiments were carried out on three well-known BC datasets available from online repositories. Seven single classifiers were used in our experiments. Skott Knott test and Borda Count voting system were used to assess the significance of the performance differences and rank ensembles according to theirs performances. The findings of this study suggest that: (1) Investigating both accuracy and diversity to select ensemble members often led to better performance, and (2) In general, selecting ensemble members using accuracy and/or diversity led to better ensemble performance than constructing ensembles without members{\textquoteright} selection. {\textcopyright} 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

These ICT, that are particularly adapted, allow creating value for the company in a sustainable way and more aligned with the global SD strategy while ensuring to bring competitive advantage and anticipate new economic, social and environmental problems. To implement an innovation approach that gives organizations the means to develop sustainable management strategies, allowing them to increase overall performance, we proposed the "ICT Sustainable Management" model which is designed according to a Green IT (GIT) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) concepts in order to seek new transition ways for management serving SD. Our model constitutes a first research step to lead reflection on next-generation SD-oriented management models. For this reason, we consider it more appropriate to approve the validity of our model through its application on different categories of companies that use ICT. Analysis of the results of this application test has demonstrated the validity of our model at the scale of five companies. This initial validation will be supported by improvements and new tests that will be extremely useful to improve the model and to advance knowledge in this new field of research. {\textcopyright} 2020, Accent Social and Welfare Society.

In most cases, the change impacts organizational elements that make the adaptation not well defined, leaving out elements that can lead to misalignment. The change is realized in this article as a project, which will impact all the Business-IT alignment elements. It is important to know the scope of the impact in order to make a complete adaptation. By reviewing the literature, we found that there is no work dealing with this aspect. To fill this gap, we determine the impact of the project on the organization by considering of Business-IT alignment and we proceed with a comparison of the AS IS model of the organization with the TO BE model which is the target to be implemented keeping the system aligned. Accordingly, we propose a metamodel for change by the impact of the project on the Business-IT alignment and a set of rules and algorithms to predict the impact and adaptation.

	abstract = {In the last decade, feature selection (FS), was one of the most investigated preprocessing tasks for heart disease prediction. Determining the optimal features which contribute more towards the diagnosis of heart disease can reduce the number of clinical tests needed to be taken by a patient, decrease the model cost, reduce the storage requirements and improve the comprehensibility of the induced model. In this study a comparison of three filter feature ranking methods was carried out. Feature ranking methods need to set a threshold (i.e. the percentage of the number of relevant features to be selected) in order to select the final subset of features. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate if there is a threshold value which is an optimal choice for three different feature ranking methods and four classifiers used for heart disease classification in four heart disease datasets. The used feature ranking methods and selection thresholds resulted in optimal classification performance for one or more classifiers over small and large heart disease datasets. The size of the dataset takes an important role in the choice of the selection threshold. {\textcopyright} 2020 by SCITEPRESS - Science and Technology Publications, Lda. All rights reserved.},

Many issues hinder their development. For example, due to the complexity of data acquisition and labeling, datasets are scarce; labeled datasets are essential for developing disaggregation and load prediction algorithms. In this paper, we introduce a new NILM system, called Integrated Monitoring and Processing Electricity Consumption (IMPEC). The main characteristics of the proposed system are flexibility, compactness, modularity, and advanced on-board processing capabilities. Both hardware and software parts of the system are described, along with several validation tests performed at residential and industrial settings. {\textcopyright} 2020 by the authors.

There have been significant advances in scorecard model for credit risk management. Practitioners and policy makers have invested in implementing and exploring a variety of new models individually. Coordinating and sharing information groups, however, achieved less progress. One of several causes of the 2008 financial crisis was in data architecture and information technology infrastructure. To remedy this problem the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) outlined a set of principles called BCBS 239. Using Ontology Design Patterns (ODPs) and BCBS 239, credit risk scorecard and applicant ontologies are proposed to improve the decision making process in credit loan. Both ontologies were validated, distributed in Ontology Web Language (OWL) files and checked in the test cases using SPARQL. Thus, making their (re)usability and expandability easier in financial institutions. These ontologies will also make sharing data more effective and less costly. {\textcopyright} 2020 Sciendo.

This approach uses the ratings given by users who share similar tastes and preferences to predict ratings for items that haven{\textquoteright}t been rated yet. Despite its simplicity and justifiability, CF approach stills suffering from several drawbacks and problems, including sparsity, gray sheep and scalability. These problems affect the accuracy of the obtained results. In this work, we present a novel collaborative filtering approach based on the opposite preferences of users. We focus on enhancing the accuracy of predictions and dealing with gray sheep problem by inferring new similar neighbors based on users who have dissimilar tastes and preferences. For instance, if a user X is dissimilar to a user Y then the user +X is similar to the user Y. The Experimental results performed on two datasets including MovieLens and FilmTrust show that our approach outperforms several baseline recommendation techniques. {\textcopyright} Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.},

	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).},

Project managers of Global Software Development (GSD) projects deal with challenges related to geographical, temporal and socio-cultural distance. The aim of this paper is to identify mitigation strategies intended to counter partially or fully the effects of risk factors related to the management of GSD projects that are available in literature and update the list of risk factors proposed in a previous research. This study proposes a framework for the Software Risk Management (SRM) of GSD projects designed to help practitioners identify risk factors and alleviate their effects through a list of recommended mitigation strategies. Using a systematic literature review (SLR), 39 risk factors and 58 mitigation strategies were identified and classified using a framework inspired from Leavitt{\textquoteright}s model of organizational change. Results show that the mitigation strategies identified in this SLR target 38 out of 39 risk factors, indicating a high academic interest in resolving the challenges of managing GSD projects. Results also reveal that the list of risk factors submitted in this paper and compiled using a different set of selected studies, concurs with the list introduced in a previous research. {\textcopyright} 2017 Association for Computing Machinery.},

The strategic alignment must be evolutionary, long-term, and dynamic in spite of those factors. In our case we opted for the agility. Agility has a global impact on the internal and external environment of an organization. Agility concerns the future of the organization/company. It is this concept which became a standard for business models since the rhythm of the change in companies accelerates. The current article reflects this idea, by describing the nature of the relation between the factor of agility and the strategic alignment in the determination of various types of agility. Furthermore, we try to establish in this article if an aligned system can stay so, by transforming the company into an agile one. A transformation on all the levels of abstraction is going to maintain the alignment on the long term and will give an added value, and a way the changes can be detected in reality and be gradually integrated within the framework of the strategic alignment.},

	abstract = {ACOR (Ant Colony Optimisation for Continuous Domains) has been proved to be able to adapt to vertical handoff mechanism. Adaptation capabilities of ACO are due to the pheromone evaporation, where the rate is usually fixed as it is done for vertical handover decision algorithm using ant colonies for 4G heterogeneous wireless networks. An adaptive pheromone evaporation rate (PER) is more suitable. High PER will eliminate the high intensity of pheromone trails that represent bad solutions from previous environments, while low PER may be more interesting when we have stagnation behaviours to minimise power consumption. In this paper, an update version of vertical handover decision algorithm using ant colonies for 4G heterogeneous wireless networks is proposed to vary the evaporation rate at different stages of the optimisation process. Simulation results show that ACOR with adaptive pheromone evaporation rate (ACOR APER) achieves promising results, when compared to the original ACOR and ACOR LPER (ACOR with low pheromone evaporation rate) with a fixed pheromone evaporation rate.

That main is to minimize the search time subject to both sensing and communication limitations. We derive limits for the required number of sensor observations considering false alarms and miss detections, to declare the existence or absence of a target. the search environment is partitioned into equal-size cells, where each cell is associated with a probability of target existence and the number of visits by the UAVs, wich constitutes a probability map (search map) and a visit map (certainty map). We present a decentralized control model for cooperative target-searching and we develop a real-time approach for direct cooperation between vehicles, which is based on calculating the minimum time required to reach a cell. Each UAV takes into account the possible actions of other UAVs to increase the overall information about the environment. The simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy by comparing it with the free moving strategy and show that our proposed algorithm performs out it. {\textcopyright} 2017 ACM.},

In recent years, the area of social networks became very popular mainly through the development of social media and Internet social websites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, ResearchGate, and many others. Graph theory offers suitable mathematical representations for social networking models. We describe in this paper some enumerative, stochastic and statistical tools allowing the analysis of time-varying social networks. Indeed, the study of social networks through the theory of random graphs and dynamic network analysis has enabled us to develop probabilistic and statistical approaches to calculate some indices and measures that characterize the dynamic behavior of such the networks through time. {\textcopyright} 2017 Association for Computing Machinery.},

Objective: This study aims to evaluate, based on ISO/IEC 25010 quality standard, the software quality of mPHRs for pregnancy monitoring. Method: An External quality evaluation was carried out on 17 pregnancy monitoring mPHRs for iOS and Android. The evaluation consisted of performing a set of tasks and filling in a quality assessment questionnaire that covers the four External quality characteristics: Functional suitability, Operability, Performance efficiency and Reliability. Moreover, 14 mPHRs for pregnancy monitoring were used to study the relationship between the External quality and the Quality in-use by means of four classification techniques: Iterative Dichotomiser 3 (ID3), C4.5, K-nearest neighbors (K-NN) and Na{\"\i}ve Bayes. Results: Functional suitability and Reliability are the most covered quality characteristics by the 17 apps compared to Operability and Performance efficiency. Furthermore, K-NN and C4.5 obtained the highest accuracy rates, as evaluating the accuracy rate of each classification technique can determine if a classifier can be designed to predict the Quality in-use from the External Quality for the apps used in this study. Conclusion: The need of studying the relationship between fulfilling the External quality and the Quality in-use for pregnancy monitoring mPHRs, is of great importance for the developers of these apps for future improvements. {\textcopyright} 2017 IEEE.},

	abstract = {Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are most efficient way of defending against network-based attacks aimed at computer systems. These systems are used in almost all large-scale IT infrastructures. As part of the migration to cloud services, the situation is even more complex because of the characteristics of cloud, everything is virtual. The number of virtual machines (VM) changes dynamically according to the resource requirement of the requested processing and can be of the order of thousands to tens of thousands. Each VM has an IDS adapted to its services (web server, mail server, ftp server, etc.) and to increase the performance we can use different types of IDS (signature-based IDS, anomaly-based IDS) in one machine. Due to their complex nature, IDS in a cloud environment are extremely difficult to specify and validate. In this paper, we propose a new formal model for the specification and the validation of such systems. This approach considers these Systems as a Multi-Agent System consisting of concurrent reactive agents that cooperate with each other to achieve the desired functionality. In addition, this approach uses formal synchronous specification and verification tools in order to specify and to verify the systems behaviors. {\textcopyright} 2005-2016 JATIT \& LLS.

Furthermore, Fuzzy Analogy ensembles achieve better performance than Classical Analogy ensembles and there is no best Classical/Fuzzy ensemble across all datasets and no evidence concerning the best combiner. {\textcopyright} 2016 Elsevier B.V.},

Its powerful positive is that there is different kind of Petri Nets, Ordinary Petri Nets, Timed Petri Nets, and Color ed Petri Nets. So, it will be very beneficial to develop applications related to these Petri Nets. For this reason, the main objective of this work is to propose a translation process of a Petri Nets to Sql script following the MDA approach. The whole work is a framework intended to offer a code generator that will generate a whole user-defined application from a multiview system. This new framework will be used by companies that are working on agile software development to deliver to their customer a cloud environment dedicated to software production with a high level and scalable code and Application generator in order to minimize the time, cost and efforts.},

This paper focuses on the restriction of this general problem to the field of air planning and more specifically the crew scheduling problem. Metaheuristics are widely used to solve this problem. Our approach consists of using hidden markov model to find the best configuration of the algorithm based on the estimation of the most likely state. The experiment consists of finding the best parameter values of the particle swarm optimization algorithm for the crew scheduling problem. Our approach has shown that it can be a promising solution for automatic optimization of airline scheduling problems. {\textcopyright} 2016},

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

It is undeniable that their use allows a better monitoring of events that occur in the real world. Many sensors have been deployed for monitoring applications such as environmental monitoring, and traffic monitoring. A number of governments, corporates, and academic organizations or agencies hold independently sensor systems that generate a large amount of dynamic information from data sources with various formats of schemas and data. They are making this sensor data openly accessible by publishing it as Linked Sensor Data (LSD) on the Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud. LSD is the concept that defines the publication of public or private organization sensor data without restrictions. This is achieved by transforming raw sensor observations to RDF format and by linking it with other datasets on the LOD cloud. The seamless integration of LSD sources from multiple providers is a great challenge. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of integrating diverse LSD sources using the hybrid ontology approach for on-line analytical processing (OLAP) on-the-fly.

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.

One of the most important research areas for analogy-based cost estimation is how to predict the effort of software projects when they are described by mixed numerical and categorical data. To address this issue, we have proposed, in an earlier work, a new approach called fuzzy analogy combining the key features of fuzzy logic and analogybased reasoning. However, fuzzy analogy may only be used when the possible values of the categorical attributes are derived from a numerical domain. The current study aims to extend our former approach to correctly handle categorical data. To this end, the fuzzy k-modes algorithm is used with two initialization techniques. The performance of the proposed approach was compared with that of classical analogy using the International Software Benchmarking Standards Group (ISBSG) dataset. The obtained results show significant improvement in estimation accuracy. {\textcopyright} 2014 IEEE.},

Similarly, in the aim to overcome this situation and while analyzing such errors, it turned out that character permutation resulting in a misspelled word can be imputed either to character proximity on an Arabic keyboard or to calligraphic similarity between such Arabic characters. In order to remedy this problem, we suggest, in this article, that a measurement of proximity and similarity between Arabic characters be integrated into Levenshtein algorithm, in the aim of enhancing the suggestions and the scheduling of the solutions returned by the spelling correction. The experimental outcomes are very satisfactory and attest of the necessity of integrating inter-character proximity and similarity measures for Arabic within spell-checking systems.},

We study the impact of some metric parameters: density, hop count, time, velocity and Mobility Models on the quality of service (QoS) of the studied system. In this paper, we have studied the impact these parameters on the QoS of a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) where all nodes have a single destination (sink node). As results, we notice that the transmission probability Pi of the realtime and best-effort traffics have a great impact on the average throughput and we have also shown the correlation between the throughput and all metrics studied except for the hop count metric of best-effort streams. {\textcopyright} 2013 Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l. - All rights reserved.},

We show by analyzing the strategy of Network Coding, and the performance of the implementation of network coding in terms of messaging and media streaming in the generation IP Multimedia Subsystem network (IMS).

However, the effective implementation of the majority of these approaches has not been possible only after the advent of new forms of learning (E_learning, M-learning...). These forms are closely related to technological development. Later with the emergence of technology (pervasive computing, Artificial Intelligent...) a new form of learning is established. It is called Pervasive Learning "P-Learning". P-Learning is a social process that connects learners to communities of devices, people, and situations in a transparent and independent manner. This learning form goes far beyond the predictions suggested by pedagogue. Learning can then take part outside the learner via technology, which will be an extension of his brain by unloading the cognitive practices he performs.

Interoperability implementation in this context may be a data exchange interfacing, a service oriented interaction or even a composition of new composite healthcare processes. In fact, optimizing efforts of interoperability achievement is a key requirement to effectively setup, develop and evolve intra- and inter-organizational collaboration. To ensure interoperability project effectiveness, this paper proposes a modeling representation of health processes interoperability evolution. Interoperability degrees of involved automated processes are assessed using a ratio metric, taking into account all significant aspects, such as potentiality, compatibility and operational performance. Then, a particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) is used as a heuristic optimization method to find the best distribution of effort needed to establish an efficient healthcare collaborative network.},

	abstract = {this paper discusses a new approach towards ontology evolution management framework and relates it to the sustainability of semantic interoperability in SOA. Indeed, when the semantic representation of the service evolves, the interpretation of queries may change. Thus, it{\textquoteright}s often challenging to evaluate the results of the query. Sources of this problem include the lack of support for semantic evolution management in ontology-based service oriented systems, and the static nature of the mappings between ontologies in this environment. To address these issues, we have developed P(2)OManager, an interactive tool for ontology evolution management. This system allows the users to automatically create an ontology agent manager. This agent manages evolution on both ontology and mappings and communicates with other ontology agents to take them aware of all changes which may affect exchanges with their services. Examples illustrate how P(2)OManager can provide valuable support for ontology evolution management, when specific changes are provided.},

The effects of various component codes, interleaver size and pattern, and the number of iterations are investigated using simulations. The simulation results show that the slope of curves and coding gain are improved by increasing the number of iterations and/or the interleaver size.

	abstract = {Software cost estimation has been the subject of intensive investigations in the field of software engineering. As a result, numerous software cost estimation techniques have been proposed and investigated. To our knowledge, currently there are no cost estimation techniques that can incorporate and/or tolerate the aspects of imprecision, vagueness, and uncertainty into their predictions. However, software projects are often described by vague information. Furthermore, an estimate is only a probabilistic assessment of a future condition. Consequently, cost estimation models must be able to deal with imprecision and uncertainty, the two principal components of soft computing. To estimate the cost of software projects when they are described by vague and imprecise attributes, in an earlier study we have proposed an innovative approach referred to as Fuzzy Analogy. In this paper, we investigate the uncertainty of cost estimates generated by the Fuzzy Analogy approach. The primary aim is to generate a set of possible values for the actual software development cost. This set can then be used to deduce, for practical purposes, a point estimate for the cost, and for analyzing the risks associated with all possible estimates.},
