	abstract = {Allowing diabetic patients to predict their BGL is an important task for self-management of their metabolic disease. This allows to avoid hypo or hyperglycaemia by taking appropriate actions. Currently, this is possible due to the development of machine and deep learning techniques which are successfully used in many prediction tasks. This paper evaluates and compares the performances of six ML/DL techniques to forecast BGL predictions; four DL techniques: CNN, LSTM, GRU, DBN and two ML/statistic techniques: SVR, and AR. The evaluation of the performance of the six regressors were in term of four criteria: RMSE, MAE, MMRE, and PRED. In addition, the Scott-Knott were used to evaluate the statistical significance test and to rank the regressors. The results show that AR was the best for 5~min ahead forecasting with a mean of RMSE equal to 8.67~mg/dl. {\textcopyright} 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

	abstract = {Objectives: This study presents PD Predict, a machine learning system for Parkinson disease classification using voice as a biomarker. Methods: We first created an original set of recordings from the mPower study, and then extracted several audio features, such as mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) components and other classical speech features, using a windowing procedure. The generated dataset was then divided into training and holdout sets. The training set was used to train two machine learning pipelines, and their performance was estimated using a nested subject-wise cross-validation approach. The holdout set was used to assess the generalizability of the pipelines for unseen data. The final pipelines were implemented in PD Predict and accessed through a prediction endpoint developed using the Django REST Framework. PD Predict is a two-component system: a desktop application that records audio recordings, extracts audio features, and makes predictions; and a server-side web application that implements the machine learning pipelines and processes incoming requests with the extracted audio features to make predictions. Our system is deployed and accessible via the following link: https://pdpredict. herokuapp.com/. Results: Both machine learning pipelines showed moderate performance, between 65\% and 75\% using the nested subject-wise cross-validation approach. Furthermore, they generalized well to unseen data and they did not overfit the training set. Conclusions: The architecture of PD Predict is clear, and the performance of the implemented machine learning pipelines is promising and confirms the usability of smartphone microphones for capturing digital biomarkers of disease. {\textcopyright} 2022 The Korean Society of Medical Informatics.},

	abstract = {Software maintenance of Open Source Software (OSS) has gained more attention in recent years and facilitated by the help of the Internet. Since volunteers in OSS do not record the effort of their contribution in maintenance tasks, researchers have to indirectly estimate the maintenance effort of such software. A review of the published OSS-MEE models has been performed using a set of 65 selected studies in a Systematic Mapping Study (SMS). This study analyses, discusses the state of the art about O-MEE and identifies trends through five additional Mapping Questions (MQs). In summary, various maintenance effort estimation (MEE) models were developed for OSS or industrial software. Researchers have mostly expressed the maintenance effort in terms of bug fixing, bug resolution time and severity in conjunction with bug report attributes. Regression Analysis and Bayesian Networks were most used estimation techniques, Recall, Precision, R2 and F-measure evaluation criteria in addition to k-fold cross validation method. Most of the models were implemented using WEKA, R software and MATLAB. More than half of the selected studies lacked of any validity analysis of their results. Trends are also discussed to identify a set of implications for researchers. {\textcopyright} 2020 Copyright for this paper by its authors.},

	abstract = {The objective of a deep learning neural network is to have a final model that performs well both on the data used to train it and the new data on which the model will be used to make predictions. Overfitting refers to the fact that the predictive model produced by the machine learning algorithm adapts well to the training set. In this case, the predictive model will capture the generalizable correlations and the noise produced by the data and will be able to give very good predictions on the data of the training set, but it will predict badly on the data that it has not yet seen during his learning phase. This paper proposes two techniques among many others to reduce or prevent overfitting. Furthermore, by analyzing dynamics during training, we propose a consensus classification algorithm that avoids overfitting, we investigate the performance of these two types of techniques in convolutional neural network. Early stopping allowing to save the hyper-parameters of a model at the right time. And the dropout making the learning of the model harder allowing to gain up to more than 50\% by decreasing the loss rate of the model.

Also, the rapid development of communication means and the appearance of reverse logistics have given rise to new variants of the VRP. This article deals with an important variant of the VRP which is Dynamic Vehicle Routing Problem with Simultaneous Delivery and Pickup (DVRPSDP), in which new customers appear during the working day and each customer requires simultaneous delivery and pickup. A Memetic Algorithm (MA) that combines Genetic Algorithm (GA) and local search procedure have been proposed to solve the problem. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated with the tests carried out on a set of benchmarks found in the literature.

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

	abstract = {The prevalence rate for childhood asthma and its associated risk factors vary significantly across countries and regions. In the case of Morocco, the scarcity of available medical data makes scientific research on diseases such as asthma very challenging. In this paper, we build machine learning models to predict the occurrence of childhood asthma using data from a prospective study of 202 children with and without asthma. The association between different factors and asthma diagnosis is first assessed using a Chi-squared test. Then, predictive models such as logistic regression analysis, decision trees, random forest and support vector machine are used to explore the relationship between childhood asthma and the various risk factors. First, data were pre-processed using a Chi-squared feature selection, 19 out of the 36 factors were found to be significantly associated (p-value < 0.05) with childhood asthma; these include: history of atopic diseases in the family, presence of mites, cold air, strong odors and mold in the child{\textquoteright}s environment, mode of birth, breastfeeding and early life habits and exposures. For asthma prediction, random forest yielded the best predictive performance (accuracy = 84.9\%), followed by logistic regression (accuracy = 82.57\%), support vector machine (accuracy = 82.5\%) and decision trees (accuracy = 75.19\%). The decision tree model has the advantage of being easily interpreted. This study identified important maternal and prenatal risk factors for childhood asthma, the majority of which are avoidable. Appropriate steps are needed to raise awareness about the prenatal risk factors. {\textcopyright} 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.},

We consider the VNFs as the main entities of the system and propose a mean-field game (MFG) framework to model their behavior for their placement and chaining. Then, to achieve the optimal resource provisioning policy without considering the system control parameters, we reduce the proposed MFG to a Markov decision process (MDP).

In fact, three major aspects could be further considered for reducing energy consumption while maintaining a suitable occupants{\textquoteright} comfort, (i) integrating renewable energy sources and storage devices, (ii) integrating programmable and less-energy-consuming equipment, and (iii) deploying innovative information and communication technologies. These aspects might contribute substantially to the improvement of winning and saving energy toward smart and energy-efficient buildings. In this chapter, a microgrid system infrastructure is developed together with a platform for data gathering, monitoring, and processing. We put more emphasis on microgrid systems as crucial infrastructures for leveraging energy-efficient and smart buildings by developing and deploying a holistic IoT/Big-Data platform in which sensing and actuation tasks are performed according to the actual contextual changes.

	abstract = {This article has studied a full truckload transportation problem in the context of an empty return scenario, particularly an order selection and vehicle routing problem with full truckload, multiple depots and time windows (SFTMDVRPTW). The aim is to develop a solution where a set of truck routes serves a subset of selected transportation demands from a number of full truckload orders to maximize the total profit obtained from those orders. Each truck route is a chain of selected demands to serve, originating at a departure point and terminating at an arriving point of trucks in a way that respects the constraints of availability and time windows. It is not mandatory to serve all orders, and only the profitable ones are selected. In this study, we have formulated the SFTMDVRPTW as a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model. Finally, Computational results are conducted on a new data set that contains thirty randomly generated problem instances ranging from 16 to 30 orders using the CPLEX software. The findings prove that our model has provided good solutions in a reasonable time. {\textcopyright} 2021 by the authors; licensee Growing Science, Canada.},

Therefore, there is a growing concern worldwide about contraception and women{\textquoteright}s knowledge of making an advised choice about it. In this aspect, an outgrown number of apps are now available providing information concerning contraception whether it concerns natural contraception or modern contraception. However, vast amounts of these apps contain inaccurate sexual health facts and non-evidence-based information concerning contraception.

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

	abstract = {Multicast communication is an important requirement to support many types of applications, such as, IPTV, videoconferencing, group games. Recently this multicast applications type emerges fast, in one side more application provider proposed many applications, in other side Internet research community has proposed many different multicast routing protocols to support efficient multicast application. Therefore, the necessity of secure mechanism to provide the confidentiality and privacy of communications are more and more insistent. In current standardized IP multicast architecture, any host can join a multicast group, as source or receiver, without authentication, because no host identification information is maintained by routers, this situation leads clearly to many security risks issues. For security enhancement in multicast communication, in this paper an SDN based multicast solution with Group Key Management (GKM) approach was introduced. Our proposal solution, MSDN-GKM, includes many SDN modules to support multicast functions, group key generation, Group key exchange, storage, use, and keys replacement if any multicast group membership occurs. To prove the efficiency of our proposal solution a prototype is implemented in our SDN platform. The test-bed result proves that our proposal solution is greater to the traditional IP multicast proposed in the literature, which is reflected in two aspects: firstly, multicast metrics performance in terms of end-to-end delay, tree construction delay and delay variation. Secondly, the multicast group key management performance in terms of storage overhead and time processing. {\textcopyright} 2021, The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

	abstract = {Multipath routing is a solution that meets the requirements of existing systems (security, bandwidth, network lifetime, etc.). Currently, several studies are trying to apply and adapt the principle of multipath in several types of networks for benefiting from its advantages. The wireless network without infrastructure (ad hoc network) is more flexible and less expensive compared to other networks and uses in its turn the multipath routing in the communication between the devices to enhance its strengths. The ad hoc network regroups several categories of network, and each one has its own node characteristics and communication protocol. In most application areas based on new technologies, such as smart cities, precision agriculture, medicine, and others, we can find different types of ad hoc networks in the same architecture constituting a heterogeneous network. So, the heterogeneous ad hoc network (HAdN) appears and brings with it a new line of research concerning the common and compatible routing protocols inside this type of network. This article proposes a new multipath routing protocol version based on the OLSR standard ensuring the direct communication between the various HAdN components. The new protocol will initially be implemented in a specific network architecture consisting of MANET, VANET, and FANET. {\textcopyright} The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd 2021.},

	abstract = {Cognitive radio (CR) is a promising paradigm that comes to address the scarcity of the radio spectrum by providing opportunistic utilization of the underutilized licensed channels to attain higher spectrum efficiency. The efficient use of the vacant portion of the spectrum depends directly on the medium access control (MAC) layer that coordinates fairly the access of the CR nodes to the idle spectrum. However, the MAC layer is vulnerable to several attacks driven by malicious nodes. One of those attacks is the backoff manipulation attack (BMA), where the selfish attacker deviates from the defined contention mechanism to gain inequitable access to the available channels. This unfair access presents some specific characteristics of an attacker, which can be considered as an input to the supervised machine learning algorithm for classification. In this paper, we propose a support vector machine (SVM) based model in order to distinctively identify the attacker depending on the throughput and the average packet delay to classify/predict an eventual attack. Finally, theoretical predictions and simulation results are presented to validate the proposed framework while giving useful insights into CR systems{\textquoteright} performance, vulnerable to BMA attacks. {\textcopyright} 2013 IEEE.},

The high cost of the acquisition and maintenance of accurate air quality stations implies that only a small number of these stations can be deployed in a country. To improve the spatial resolution of the air monitoring process, an interesting idea is to develop data-driven models to predict air quality based on readily available data. In this paper, we investigate the correlations between air pollutants concentrations and meteorological and road traffic data. Using machine learning, regression models are developed to predict pollutants concentration. Both linear and non-linear models are investigated in this paper. It is shown that non-linear models, namely Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Regression (SVR), better describe the impact of traffic flows and meteorology on the concentrations of pollutants in the atmosphere. It is also shown that more accurate prediction models can be obtained when including some pollutants{\textquoteright} concentration as predictors. This may be used to infer the concentrations of some pollutants using those of other pollutants, thereby reducing the number of air pollution sensors. {\textcopyright} 2020 - IOS Press and the authors.

	abstract = {Achieving a high level of classification accuracy in medical datasets is a capital need for researchers to provide effective decision systems to assist doctors in work. In many domains of artificial intelligence, ensemble classification methods are able to improve the performance of single classifiers. This paper reports the state of the art of ensemble classification methods in lung cancer detection. We have performed a systematic mapping study to identify the most interesting papers concerning this topic. A total of 65 papers published between 2000 and 2018 were selected after an automatic search in four digital libraries and a careful selection process. As a result, it was observed that diagnosis was the task most commonly studied; homogeneous ensembles and decision trees were the most frequently adopted for constructing ensembles; and the majority voting rule was the predominant combination rule.

	abstract = {Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) represent the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in both developed and developing countries. They have complex etiology, influenced by several risk factors including the genetic component. The genetic variations were shown to be highly associated with different CVD forms, in this objective we proceeded to analyze the Macrophage Receptor with Collagen structure gene (MARCO), we performed an in-silico study with a genomic functional analysis, to evaluate the mutations{\textquoteright} effects on the proteins{\textquoteright} structures and functionalities. Indeed, we used dbSNP to retrieve single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of MARCO gene. We proceeded then to a filtration and a stability analysis using several bioinformatics tools to evaluate the most deleterious variations. Moreover we predicted the 3D structures of the encoded proteins by MARCO gene, which was validated using PROCHECK. Then we analyzed and visualize the proteins{\textquoteright} 3D structures. The extraction of the human MARCO gene SNPs revealed that dbSNP contains more than 14000 SNPs. The filtration process revealed the variations G241V and G262W to be the most deleterious SNPs, indeed, I-Mutant and DUET showed decreased protein stability. The validation using PROCHECK revealed a total of 89.9\% MARCO protein residues to be in the favored region. As conclusion, our results let suggesting that G241V and G262W variations can cause alteration in the proteins{\textquoteright} structures and functions. Hence, to improve the health management, screening precariously these variants, can be useful as model for CVD diagnosis and helpful in pharmacogenomics. {\textcopyright} Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.},

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

The technological evolution, which continues to progress day by day, has allowed better communication between different actors of this model and a more encouraging execution time. This encouraged researchers to investigate new variants of the DVRP and use more complicated algorithms for the resolution. Among these variants is the multi-tour DVRP (MTDVRP) with overtime (MTDVRPOT), which is the subject of this article. This paper proposes an approach with a memetic algorithm (MA).

	abstract = {Software defined network (SDN) is a promising new network abstraction that aims to improve and facilitate network management. Due to its centralized architecture and the lack of intelligence on the data plane, SDN suffers from many security issues that slows down its deployment. Man in the Middle (MitM) attack is considered as one of the most devastating attacks in an SDN context. In fact, MitM attack allows the attackers to capture, duplicate and spoof flows by targeting southbound interfaces and SDN nodes. Furthermore, it{\textquoteright}s very difficult to detect MitM attacks since it is performed passively at the SDN level. To reduce the impact of this attack, we generally set up security policies and authentication mechanisms. However, these techniques are not applicable for a large scale SDN architecture as they require complexes and static configurations and as they negatively influence on network performance. In this paper, we propose an intrusion detection and prevention framework by using machine learning techniques to detect and stop MitM attempts. To do so, we build a context-based node acceptance based on the random forest model (CBNA-RF), which helps to setting-up appropriate security policies and to automating defense operations on a large-scale SDN context. This mechanism can realize a quick and early detection of MitM attacks by automatically detecting malicious nodes without affecting performances. The evaluation of the proposed framework demonstrates that our model can correctly classify and detect malicious connections and nodes while keeping high accuracy and precision scores. {\textcopyright} 2020, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.},

The process of detecting weak signals is very challenging, and many techniques were proposed to automatize this challenge but still needs the intervention of experts{\textquoteright} opinion. Understanding those detected signals and their evolution in time is crucial to reveal the alertness of possible future events and warnings. For this reason, this paper proposes a new algorithm to strengthen weak signals into early warning signs. The proposed algorithm aims to monitor and track weak signals{\textquoteright} evolution within time. The output will be a list of early warning signs and visualization to illustrate their evolution in time. Finally, to adequately understand the early warning signs obtained and enhance their semantic alertness, we used Word2Vec modeling to provide semantically similar words to these warning signs and improve their contextual alertness. We tested this algorithm on a web news dataset of 2006-2007 to detect early warning signs related to the 2008 financial crisis ahead of time. We obtained prominent results in strengthening and monitoring the evolution of early warning signs related to this crisis. {\textcopyright} 2020 ACM.},

In spite of, IP multicast is frequently suffered from scaling and instability, which causes internet provider administrators to avoid its utilization. While different multicast protocols in all layers, such as routing and switching, have been created by researchers and providers, through several years, to focus on security, congestion control, and scalability, our work aims to scale multicast regarding the number of supported multicast groups and sources in networks and multicast session. In this paper, we propose an SDN-based IP multicast tree construction module to support and deploy multicast communication-based services. To do so, we take advantage to compute multicast tree, in the centralized way, to achieve a dynamic tree construction algorithm that helps SDN controller to dynamically construct and adjust an optimal multicast tree in all multicast session. The experiments studies on the prototype and simulation system exhibit that our solution gives better performance contrasted with the traditional multicast tree construction algorithms, better also to SDN-based solution proposed in the literature, regarding multicast tree cost, delay, delay variation, and multicast tree construction delay. {\textcopyright} Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.},

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

	abstract = {Predicting students{\textquoteright} academic outcome is useful for any educational institution that aims to ameliorate students{\textquoteright} performance. Based on the resulted predictions, educators can provide support to students at risk of failure. Data mining and machine learning techniques were widely used to predict students{\textquoteright} performance. This process called Educational data mining. In this work, we have proposed a methodology to build a student{\textquoteright} performance prediction model using a supervised machine learning technique which is the multiple linear regression (MLR). Our methodology consists of three major steps, the first step aims to analyze and preprocess the students{\textquoteright} attributes/variables using a set of statistical analysis methods, and then the second step consists in selecting the most important variables using different methods. The third step aims to construct different MLR models based on the selected variables and compare their performance using the k-fold cross-validation technique. The obtained results show that the model built using the variables selected from the Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines method (MARS), outperforms the other constructed models. {\textcopyright} Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.},

	abstract = {The fulfillment of unmet needs for contraception can help women reach their reproductive goals. It was proven to have a significant impact on reducing the rates of unintended pregnancies, and thereby cut the number of morbidity and mortality resulting from these pregnancies, and improving the lives of women and children in general. Therefore, there is a growing concern worldwide about contraception and women{\textquoteright}s knowledge of making an advised-choice about it. In this aspect, an outgrown number of apps are now available providing clinical resources, digital guides, or educational information concerning contraception whether it concerns natural contraception or modern contraception. However, vast amounts of these apps contain inaccurate sexual health facts and non-evidence based information concerning contraception. On these bases, and in respect to the needs of women to effectively prevent unintended pregnancies while conducting a stress-free healthy lifestyle, the World Health Organization (WHO) Medical Eligibility Criteria (MEC) for contraception{\textquoteright}s recommendations, and the results and recommendations of a field study conducted in the reproductive health center Les Oranges in Rabat to collect the app{\textquoteright}s requirements, we developed an Android app named {\textquoteleft}MyContraception{\textquoteright}. Our solution is an evidence-based patient-centered contraceptive app that has been developed in an attempt to facilitate: (1) Seeking evidence-based information along with recommendations concerning the best contraceptive fit (according to one{\textquoteright}s medical characteristics, preferences and priorities) helping users make informed decisions about their contraceptive choices. (2) Monitoring one{\textquoteright}s own menstrual cycle, fertility window, contraceptive methods usage, and the correlation between these different elements and everyday symptoms in one app. (3) Keeping record of one{\textquoteright}s family medical history, medical appointments, analyses, diagnoses, procedures and notes within the same app. In future work, conducting an empirical evaluation of MyContraception solution is intended, to exhaustively examine the effects of this solution in improving the quality of patient-centered contraception care. {\textcopyright} 2020, The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

This type of learning, which has the advantage of being voluntary relying mainly on the learners{\textquoteright} motivation, remains technically invisible to formal learning environments. Finding suggest that the formal learning becomes increasingly less adapted to the learners needs because it does not take into consideration the real learner{\textquoteright}s profile (knowledge, skills, etc.) updated by non-formal learning. In order, to bridging formal and non-formal learning, we are aiming to personalize formal learning by recovering the learner{\textquoteright}s knowledge, abilities and skills which are acquired by non-formal learning (MOOCs). We propose in this paper, a federating environment for MOOCs hosted in different platforms such as (Coursera, open EdX..). The main objective of this environment is to provide to the formal learning environment a recommender system of MOOCs. The technical aspects of a federating environment of MOOCs (FEM) are presented. FEM is composed of an integration system and a recommender system of MOOCs. The integration system is responsible for integrating data emanating from different heterogeneous MOOCs platforms. The recommender system is based on the learners{\textquoteright} profiles and on the pedagogical objectives set by the concerned establishment that integrates the federating environment FEM. FEM also enables establishments to adapt the formal learning through the enriched learners{\textquoteright} profiles. {\textcopyright} The Authors, 2017.},

	abstract = {In this work, we focus our study to improving the energy efficiency of mobile cellular users in ultra-dense LTE HetNets. The hyper-dense co-channel deployment of indoor LTE small cell networks (SCNs) within LTE macro cell networks (MCNs) will aggravate the effect of cross-tier interferences caused by the uplink transmissions of macro-indoor users located inside the overlapping zones of small base station (SBS) coverage areas. Hence, degrading the uplink performance at the level of SBSs adopting closed access policy. In order to eliminate the severe cross-tier interferences, each SBS attempts to open the access for macro-indoor users that accept only the SBS with Max-SINR offer. This will lead to network congestion problems in several SCNs. Wherefore, we formulate our problem as a many-to-many matching game. Then, we introduce an algorithm that computes the optimal many-to-many stable matching which consist of assigning each macro-indoor user with multi-homing capabilities to the most suitable set of SBSs and vice versa based on their preference profiles. With regard to the conventional Max-SINR association scheme, our solution can effectively improve the energy efficiency of cellular users. Moreover, it can ensure load balancing in ultra-dense LTE HetNets. {\textcopyright} 2017 IEEE.},

	abstract = {Models have always been adopted in trades implemented in Systems Engineering (SE). Those models go from concrete representations, such as reduced plans or models, to abstract ones like equations systems. In this context, SysML became an SE standard because of its capabilities of supporting the specification, analysis, design, verification and validation of a broad range of systems and systems-of-systems. However, SysML descriptive models are insufficient to perform system behavior verifications. This lack can be handled by simulation process that allows performing experiments on models to eliminate poor design alternatives, and ensures that a preferred alternative meets the stakeholders{\textquoteright} objectives. As design process efficiency is considerably reduced by the fact that both system modeling and simulation tools are often used separately, several research works aim combining and integrating both approaches in a common framework. This paper proposes a study of common constructs, semantics and modeling methodologies of simulation tools on the basis of whom we define a modeling language that we name: Simulation Modeling Language. This latter is aimed to bridge the gap between SysML modeling and various simulation tools. {\textcopyright} 2016 IEEE.},

This algorithm is based on the Mobility Rate (MR) which in turn is relied on the relative velocity of nodes. Additionally, in this algorithm, each node keeps a mobility rate record of other nodes. Moreover, this mobility value will be exchanged between nodes using OLSR messages (HELLO and Topology control (TC)). Furthermore, this value will be used as a criterion when a node chooses their MPR set. In addition, the simulation results using Network Simulator 3 (NS3) have shown that the mobility concept could improve network performances in terms of the throughput, packet received, packet loss, packet delivery ratio and packet forwarded. Moreover, and through this paper the proposed algorithm can be used as a functional mobility mechanism to improve network performances in MANETs. {\textcopyright} 2016 IEEE.},

	abstract = {The Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN) is a wireless network that is designed to allow communication among sensor nodes that are attached to a human body to monitor the body{\textquoteright}s vital parameters and environment. The design and development of such WBSN systems for health monitoring have received a large amount of attention recently, in research studies and in industry. This attention is mainly motivated by costly health care and by recent advances in the development of miniature health monitoring devices as well as emerging technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), which contribute to the main challenges of 5G. The existence of an explicit approach to address the required software design and verification should be very beneficial for the construction and maintenance of such systems. This paper presents a preventive health care system that has a flexible design. The proposed system is based on an architecture that has heterogeneous nodes and provides both daily continuous monitoring as well as specific controls. We defined a model to describe the WBSN{\textquoteright}s global behavior. An important aspect of this work is that we propose a model-driven engineering (MDE) approach to address the derivation of each node{\textquoteright}s behavior in the WBSN from the WBSN global behavior. This approach allows developers to obtain a system design from the global specification of its requirement. To ensure the conformance of this design to its specification, the derived behaviors should be validated and verified before their deployment. In fact, formal methods are powerful tools for software engineers to verify the logical correctness of concurrent software at different levels of its life cycle. Model checking is one of the most powerful formal methods for verifying the logical correctness of such concurrent systems. In this work, we make use of a model checking approach that is based on a model transformation to validate the automatically derived behavior of a WBSN for health monitoring. This model-driven approach will check whether the derived system behaves correctly according to its global specification, while the objective is to increase the system{\textquoteright}s performance and QoS. This approach allows the developer to reason about a model of the global system rather than about the system itself. {\textcopyright} 2017 Elsevier B.V.},

	abstract = {Behavior of the propagation medium in reaction with electromagnetic fields is described by its dielectric permittivity; this electric property is a function of the physical characteristics of the medium and those of the propagating wave. Among the parameters, which considerably affect the dielectric permittivity of a medium, its water content. In fact, when the snow wetness varies from 0 to 50\% in the melting layer, real part of the mixture permittivity varies from 1.47 to 5.86. Similarly, when soil moisture varies from 0 to 40\% real and imaginary parts of effective permittivity of soil, air and water mixture vary from 4.13 to 24.85 and from 0 to 3.44 respectively. This dynamism in the permittivity as a function of the humidity is able to alter the efficiency of the antenna within the application. In this paper, we propose a study to analyze the impact of wetness on the performance of a dipole antenna with central frequency of 900 MHz. The study was carried out by simulating the behavior of the dipole antenna model in Finite Element Method (FEM) full wave simulator with different values of the water content of two propagation mediums: melting layer and soil. Simulation results concerning the resonant frequency, bandwidth, directivity are presented through paragraphs of the paper. {\textcopyright} 2017 Association for Computing Machinery.},

	abstract = {Due to the high mobility of vehicles and the dynamic topology changes of vehicular networks, it is difficult to satisfy drivers needs through a single wireless network. Consequently, by integrating different wireless access networks such as LTE and IEEE 802.11p, the vehicular network is expected to be a good platform called Heterogeneous Vehicular Network that can meet various vehicular user requirements. In such networks, vehicles need to have mechanisms in place to decide which access network is the most suitable for every application that the vehicular user requires. Always-Best-Connected is considered as a special concept to allow users getting connected to Internet using the access network that best suits their needs or profile at any point in time. Clearly, this concept provides multiple access networks simultaneous for mobile users moving in heterogeneous access network environment. In this paper, we propose two approaches called graph theory-based approach, and signaling game-based approach. The first approach is based on graph theory while the second one based on signaling game theory to compute the suitable path which provides Always-Best-Connected service for a smart vehicle moving in vehicular networks. {\textcopyright} 2016 Elsevier Inc.},

This paper investigates the use of missing data (MD) techniques with two analogy-based software development effort estimation techniques: Classical Analogy and Fuzzy Analogy. More specifically, we analyze the predictive performance of these two analogy-based techniques when using toleration, deletion or k-nearest neighbors (KNN) imputation techniques. A total of 1512 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 suggest that Fuzzy Analogy generates more accurate estimates in terms of the Standardized Accuracy measure (SA) than Classical Analogy regardless of the MD technique, the data set used, the missingness mechanism or the MD percentage. Moreover, this study found that the use of KNN imputation, rather than toleration or deletion, may improve the prediction accuracy of both analogy-based techniques. However, toleration, deletion and KNN imputation are affected by the missingness mechanism and the MD percentage, both of which have a strong negative impact upon effort prediction accuracy. {\textcopyright} 2016 Elsevier Inc.

PHR users are able to manage their own health data and communicate with doctors in order to improve healthcare quality and efficiency. Mobile PHR (mPHR) applications for mobile devices have obtained an interesting market quota since the appearance of more powerful mobile devices. These devices allow users to gain access to applications that used to be available only for personal computers. This paper analyzes the functionalities of mobile PHRs that are specific to pregnancy monitoring. Methods: A well-known Systematic Literature Review (SLR) protocol was used in the analysis process. A questionnaire was developed for this task, based on the rigorous study of scientific literature concerning pregnancy and applications available on the market, with 9 data items and 35 quality assessments. The data items contain calendars, pregnancy information, health habits, counters, diaries, mobile features, security, backup, configuration and architectural design. Results: A total of 33 mPHRs for pregnancy monitoring, available for iOS and Android, were selected from Apple App store and Google Play store, respectively. The results show that none of the mPHRs selected met 100\% of the functionalities analyzed in this paper. The highest score achieved was 77\%, while the lowest was 17\%. Conclusions: In this paper, these features are discussed and possible paths for future development of similar applications are proposed, which may lead to a more efficient use of smartphone capabilities.

In this paper the authors investigate this issue and propose a model to express the SLA contract requirements using Model Driven Engineering (MDE), as a mean for establishing service level agreements between a cloud provider and cloud customer in the context of a particular service provision. The participation of a Trusted Third Party (TTP) may be necessary in order to resolve conflicts between prospective signatories, likewise to monitor SLA violations in real-Time in the goal to ensure online monitoring cloud services and provide better than best-effort behavior for clouds. The main focus of this work is firstly to use MDE technology for the creation of the SLA contract and then to integrate TTP that should be able to apply an advanced penalty model that guarantees the performance and the reliability of the Cloud.

	abstract = {Sensors integrated into the environment, machinery, and structures, and coupled with the efficient delivery of sensed information could provide tremendous benefits in a wide range of applications such as improved manufacturing productivity, enhanced homeland security, fewer catastrophic failures, and improved emergency response. The design and development of these applications should address the challenges dictated by Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) characteristics on the one hand and the targeted applications on the other hand. One of the novel emerging approaches used to address these challenges is the design of middleware for WSN. Middleware refers to distributed software that can bridge the gap and remove impediments between the heterogeneous hardware platform and the backend applications requirements. In recent years, research has been carried out on WSN middleware from different aspects and for different purposes. WSN can be used with other identification technologies such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). In an integration system of RFID and WSN, RFID is used to identify objects while WSN can provide context environment information about these objects. This integration increases system intelligence in pervasive computing. This chapter provides a comprehensive review of the existing middleware for WSN, seeking for a better understanding of the current issues and future directions in this field. It also examines the various approaches of middleware design, compares and suggests different types of applications where each approach can be used. Finally, it proposes an enhanced middleware framework; FlexRFID for the integration of RFID and WSN. {\textcopyright} Springer New York 2015.},

LBSNs allow users to {\textquoteright}check-in{\textquoteright} at geographical locations and share this information with friends. In this paper, analysis of check-ins data provided by Foursquare, the online location-based social network, allows us to construct a set of features that capture: spatial, temporal and similarity characteristics of user mobility. We apply this knowledge to location prediction problem, and combine these features in supervised learning for future location prediction. We find that the supervised classifier based on the combination of multiple features offers reasonable accuracy. {\textcopyright} 2014 IEEE.},

	abstract = {Cloud computing promises to increase innovation and the velocity with which applications are deployed all while helping any enterprise meet most IT service needs at a lower total cost of ownership and higher return investment. As the march of cloud continues, it brings both new opportunities and new security challenges. To take advantage of those opportunities while minimizing risks, we argue that Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) integrated in the cloud is one of the best existing solutions nowadays in the field. The concept of intrusion detection was known since past and was first proposed in 1980s. Since that time IDSs are evolving. However, even several efforts have been made in the area of Intrusion Detection Systems for cloud computing environment, many attacks still prevail. Therefore, the work presented in this paper proposes a multi-criteria analysis and a comparative study between several IDS architectures designed to work in cloud computing environments. To achieve this objective, in the first place we will search in the state of the art for several consistent IDS architectures designed to work in a cloud environment. Whereas, in a second step we will establish the criteria that will be useful for the evaluation of architectures. Later, using the approach of multi-criteria decision analysis MacBeth (Measuring Attractiveness by a Categorical Based Evaluation Technique) we will evaluate the criteria and assign to each one the appropriate weight according to their importance in the field of IDS architectures in cloud computing.

	abstract = {Cloud computing promises to increase innovation and the velocity with which applications are deployed all while helping any enterprise meet most IT service needs at a lower total cost of ownership and higher return investment. As the March of cloud continues, it brings both new opportunities and new security challenges. To take advantage of those opportunities while minimizing risks, we argue that Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) integrated in the cloud is one of the best existing solutions nowadays in the field. The concept of intrusion detection was known since past and was first proposed in 1980s. Since that time IDSs are evolving. However, even several efforts have been made in the area of Intrusion Detection Systems for cloud computing environment, many attacks still prevail. Therefore, the work presented in this paper proposes a multi-criteria analysis and a comparative study between several IDS architectures designed to work in cloud computing environments. To achieve this objective, in the first place we will search in the state of the art for several consistent IDS architectures designed to work in a cloud environment. Whereas, in a second step we will establish the criteria that will be useful for the evaluation of architectures. Later, using the approach of multi-criteria decision analysis MacBeth (Measuring Attractiveness by a Categorical Based Evaluation Technique) we will evaluate the criteria and assign to each one the appropriate weight according to their importance in the field of IDS architectures in cloud computing. The last step is to evaluate architectures against the criteria and collecting results of the model constructed in the previous steps. {\textcopyright} 2015 IEEE.},

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

	abstract = {Due to the progress of network multimedia technology, internet research community proposed many different multicast routing protocols to support efficient realtime multimedia application such as, IPTV, videoconferencing, group games. These applications require a multicast routing protocol in which packets arrive to multicast receivers with minimum delay and delay variation. These applications are more important with arrival of mobile IPv6 protocol with mobile receivers and sources with continuous access. Nevertheless, the design of multicast protocols does not take into account that group members may be mobile. Dynamic group members and sources can rapidly affect quality of both routing protocol scheme and multicast tree used. The key idea of this work is to make the handover of multicast members transparent and a quick recovery mechanism to maintain an optimal multicast tree, by using MACT-MIPv6 architecture based on multicast routing protocol with Shared Multiple Active Cores Multicast Tree to hide the mobility of mobile multicast members from the main multicast delivery tree. Simulation results show that good performance is achieved in terms of handoff latency, end-to-end delay, tree construction delay and others metrics. {\textcopyright} 2014 IEEE.},

The core assumptions behind the system are: software agents representing Grid resources work in teams, and all information is ontologically represented and semantically processed. Thus far, trust management in AiG system is approached from the perspective of breaching an agreement between Users and teams or contracts between teams and Workers. Unfortunately, it is also possible that some Workers, which fulfilled the agreement, could have maliciously returned incorrect results from the jobs that they executed.

	abstract = {The information integration systems consist in offering a uniform interface, to provide access to a set of autonomous and distributed information sources. The most important advantage of an information integration system is that allows users to specify what they want, rather than thinking about how to get the responses. The studies in this field have aimed at developing tools allowing a transparent access to data sources disseminated on a network. In particular, there are two major classes of integration systems: the mediation systems based on the paradigm mediator/Wrapper and peer to peer systems (P2P). Recently, other integration systems have emerged as P2P mediation systems. In these systems, the correspondence problem between schemas is a crucial problem. Especially as to integrate different sources requires the identification of the elements which can be dependent between the various diagrams. This is called correspondences or mapping between schemas. In this paper, we study this problem of mappings discovery and we present an approach of automatic correspondences discovery in a Pure Peer-to-Peer mediation system. {\textcopyright} 2005 - 2014 JATIT \& LLS.

However, Android and Apple have a set of recommendations on design and usability targeted towards developers who wish to publish apps in their stores: Android Design Guidelines and iOS Human Interface Guidelines. This paper aims to evaluate compliance with these guidelines by assessing the usability recommendations of a set of 24 selected mobile PHR applications. An analysis process based on a well-known Systematic Literature Review (SLR) protocol was used. The results show that the 24 mobile PHR applications studied are not suitably structured. 46 \% of these applications do not use any of the recommended patterns, using instead lists or springboards, which are deprecated patterns for top-level menus. 70 \% of the PHRs require a registration to be able to test the application when these interactions should be delayed. Our study will help both PHR users to select user-friendly mobile PHRs and PHR providers and developers to identify the good usability practices implemented by the applications with the highest scores.},

	abstract = {Mobile Personal Health Records (PHRs) have achieved a particularly strong market share since the appearance of more powerful mobile devices and popular worldwide mobile application markets such as Apple{\textquoteright}s App Store and Android{\textquoteright}s Google Play. However, Android and Apple have a set of recommendations on design and usability targeted towards developers who wish to publish apps in their stores: Android Design Guidelines and iOS Human Interface Guidelines. This paper aims to evaluate compliance with these guidelines by assessing the usability recommendations of a set of 24 selected mobile PHR applications. An analysis process based on a well-known Systematic Literature Review (SLR) protocol was used. The results show that the 24 mobile PHR applications studied are not suitably structured. 46 \% of these applications do not use any of the recommended patterns, using instead lists or springboards, which are deprecated patterns for top-level menus. 70 \% of the PHRs require a registration to be able to test the application when these interactions should be delayed. Our study will help both PHR users to select user-friendly mobile PHRs and PHR providers and developers to identify the good usability practices implemented by the applications with the highest scores. {\textcopyright} 2014 Springer Science+Business Media New York.},

However, the resources of these devices and their connectivity levels remain insufficient, even though they are improving, for offering acceptable levels of QoS to users. Cloud computing infrastructures offer large and scalable resources that allow shifting the physical location of computation and storage to the cloud. Nevertheless, the integration of mobile computing with cloud computing would not guarantee adequate levels of service for mobile users. It rather delivers scalability at the cost of higher delay and higher power consumption on the mobile device. Instead, using local resources based on users geographical locations has the potential to improve the performance and QoS for mobile users. In this paper, we present and study a centralized architecture that relies on the concept of local clouds, cloudlets, to leverage the geographical proximity of resources to mobile users and offer them a better user experience. We use a continuous time Markov-chain (CTMC) to model the different nodes of the architecture: user nodes, cloudlets, and the main cloud. We estimate the delay incurred in the proposed architecture by simulating search engine queries generated by mobile users using the CTMC state models.

In order this, to answer the complex service requirements of the user, composite web services has to be constructed correctly and effectively. For this reason, various approaches have been used for web service composition. Among these approaches we quote the one who allows software agents to access and control Web Services, in this approach the integration between agents and web services platforms is important. For this purpose, the toolkit WS2JADE is developed at the Centre of Intelligent Agent and Multi-Agent Systems, it allows deployment of Web services as JADE (JAVA agent DEvelopment Framework) agents services at run time. Therefore, composition of web services is returned to that of JADE agents services. In this paper we propose a new approach for modeling the composition of JADE agents services and thus web services using the Multi-Agent Reactive Decisional System (MARDS) Model. {\textcopyright} 2014 Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l. - All rights reserved.},

To ensure this effectiveness goal, this paper proposes initially a model to represent quality evolution and planning. Quality degrees are evaluated using ratio metrics taking into account all operational assessment aspects.

	abstract = {Due to the progress of network multimedia technology, internet research community proposed many different multicast routing protocols to support efficient real-time multimedia application such as, IPTV, videoconferencing, group games. These applications require a multicast routing protocol in which packets arrive to multicast receivers with minimum delay and delay variation. These applications are more important with arrival of mobile IPv6 protocol with mobile receivers and sources with continuous access. Nevertheless, the design of multicast protocols does not take into account that group members may be mobile. Dynamic group members and sources can rapidly affect quality of both routing protocol scheme and multicast tree used. The key idea of this work is to make the handover of multicast members transparent and a quick recovery mechanism to maintain an optimal multicast tree, by using MACT-MIPv6 architecture based on multicast routing protocol with Shared Multiple Active Cores Multicast Tree to hide the mobility of mobile multicast members from the main multicast delivery tree. Simulation results show that good performance is achieved in terms of handoff latency, end-to-end delay, tree construction delay and others metrics.},

	abstract = {The vulgarization of information and telecommunications technologies has made the integration systems an immediate necessity. Among the latter, there are the hybrid integration systems. These offer a local database where it stores a part of data while integrating the other part virtually. This in the objective to increases system performance while ensuring a tradeoff between query response time and data freshness. The approach that has proposed a complete solution is one that creates the candidate views for materialization before selecting among them those that will be materialized. To do this, it selects the attributes most requested by users. Calling the algorithm k-schema, these attributes are organized in schemas, on which we based to build the candidate views for materialization. This approach suffers from a defect. It is because in the phase of the extraction of attributes of interest, we based only on their frequencies of appearance in the user queries. This will select some attributes, even if they do not respond to any selection criterion. Thus, they cause the elimination, in the selection phase, of views to which they were assigned. In this paper, we propose a new approach, which eliminates all attributes that do not respond to the selection criteria prior to the creation of views to materialize. We also propose a new solution to calculate the values of attributes relative to different criteria. {\textcopyright} 2013 Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l. - All rights reserved.},

A restricted fleet size is used in order to serve customers{\textquoteright} demand. Therefore, vehicles could exceed the time horizon. The objective is to optimize both maximum overtime and routing cost. A mathematical model has been proposed for the VRPM. A memetic algorithm has been developed to solve it by combining a genetic algorithm based on suitable encoding and genetic operators, with a local search procedure. The algorithm is run over a benchmark of the VRPM. Comparing with seven existing algorithms, our approach shows competitive performance and contributes many new best solutions. {\textcopyright} Technomathematics Research Foundation.},

For this purpose, a Framework MPSS has been used to be part of the network of the mobile network operator. MPSS aims to increase the level of information security across the telecom provider network in order to resolve the problems of the limited hardware and software resources on those mobiles devices. Finally, a new study based on MPSS Framework limitations, has driven a designing of a new Framework called MPSS2 based in the private Mobile Cloud Computing of the ISP. In addition, with the approach of MCC, the proposed security takes the form of a service provided by the mobile network operator (SaaS: Security as a Service). Therefore MPSS2 has the main objective to limit the risk of losses of personal and professional user{\textquoteright}s data. {\textcopyright} 2005 - 2013 JATIT \& LLS. All rights reserved.},

Initially, the authors provide a classification based on four criteria of the queuing models used in the literature. In a second step, an analysis of technologies shows that combining queue management and scheduling mechanisms may lead to improvement in QoS. Hence, the authors propose design of queuing models that meet all the classification criteria, with the goal of improving the various QoS parameters required by the different classes of flows (real time and non-real time) transmitted to an end user in a cell. These models have been mathematically and numerically analyzed, and their impact on end-to-end QoS in a mobile cellular network has been proved. {\textcopyright} 2014, IGI Global.},

Nevertheless, the design of all these protocols does not take into account that group members may be mobile. Indeed, with the arrival of Mobile IPv6 by IETF providing mobile users with continuous access, group members in the network are very dynamic affecting on the quality of both routing protocol scheme and multicast tree used. The key idea of this work is to make the handover of multicast members transparent and avoid the reconstruction of the entire multicast-based tree, by using an architecture MC-PIM-SM based in PIM-SM multicast routing protocol with Multiple Cores Shared Multicast Tree to hide the mobility of mobile multicast members from the main multicast delivery tree. Simulation results show that good performance is achieved in terms of handoff latency, end-to-end delay, tree construction delay and others metrics.},

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

	abstract = {Problems occur in the models integration and particularly, in the comparison phase of the integration. Previous approaches have not correctly handled the semantic integration. We propose a complete approach for integrating of UML models. First, we provide a comparison approach incorporating syntactic, structural and semantic aspects in order to detect any correspondence between the models to compare, and secondly, a semantic approach to integrate the compared models. For this purpose, we use domain ontology. In this paper, our contribution is the proposition of the different metamodels needed in the comparison and the integration phases.},

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

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

The view concept or relation makes it possible to define respectively the concepts or the calculable relations automatically that do not require any particular interpretation. The view interpretation relates to the interpretation of the contents of the image. The number, the nature and the contents of each view are adaptable and can vary according to the type of application. The operational model is based on the nested conceptual graphs which we extended. The model is implemented and operational and the results obtained are very encouraging.},
