	abstract = {The new work model imposed during the pandemic impacted organizations badly, especially those with rigid business strategies. Therefore, they were forced to provide digital platforms for their clients and allow remote work for employees. The rapid shift to remote work increased cyberthreats and attack vectors. Thus, organizations had to enforce their security policy, apply security constraints for a safe and secure inter-organizational collaborations. Consequently, the absence of employees because of the pandemic and the rigid application of the security policy caused the unavailability of collaborating organizations. Thus, the execution of inter-organizational workflow may not be complete, which increases the possibility that the workflow satisfiability problem (WSP) occurs. In this paper, we present an approach to selecting an inter-organizational workflow assignment plan. It uses the multicriteria decision method and Bayesian inference to select organizations for collaboration. The approach aims to ensure resilient and secure inter-organizational workflow execution with a low probability for the WSP. {\textcopyright} 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

	abstract = {Impairments baseband model in-phase and quadrature-phase Imbalance (IQI) and Residual hardware impairments (RHI) are two key factors degrading the performance of wireless communication systems (WCSs), particularly when high-frequency bands are employed, as in 5G systems and beyond. The impact of either IQI or RHI on the performance of various WCSs has been investigated exclusively in a separate way. To fill this gap, in this paper, the joint effect of both IQI and RHI on the performance of a WCS subject to Hyper Fox{\textquoteright}s H-fading (HFHF) channel, is investigated. Such a fading model generalizes most, if not all, of well-known fading and turbulence models. To this end, closed-form expressions for the outage probability (OP), Average channel capacity (ACC) under constant power with optimum rate adaptation (ORA) policy, and average symbol error probability (ASEP) for both coherent and non-coherent modulation schemes are derived. Specifically, all the analytical expressions are derived for three different scenarios: (i) ideal Tx and Rx impaired, (ii) Tx impaired and ideal Rx, and (iii) both Tx and Rx are impaired. Further, asymptotic expressions for OP, ACC under ORA policy, and ASEP are obtained, based on which, insightful discussions on the IQI and RHI impacts are made. α-μ and M{\'a}laga M turbulence with pointing error distribution models have been considered as particular cases of the HFHF distribution. The analytical derivations, endorsed by simulation results, demonstrate that the RF impairments{\textquoteright} effects should be seriously taken into account in the design of next-generation wireless technologies. {\textcopyright} 2002-2012 IEEE.},

	abstract = {Neuro-fuzzy systems are models that incorporate the learning ability and performance of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) with the interpretable reasoning of fuzzy inference systems (FISs). An ANN can learn patterns from data and achieve high accuracy, while a FIS uses linguistic and interpretable rules to match inputs and outputs of the data. Two types of FISs are used the most in literature: Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) and Mamdani. The main focus of this paper is on the Mamdani neuro-fuzzy systems, notably the Hybrid Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (HyFIS) and the Neuro-Fuzzy Classifier (NEFCLASS). It aims at evaluating and comparing the two classifiers over two medical datasets to study their performance-interpretability tradeoff. Results show that HyFIS is the best in terms of performance, while NEFCLASS is better in terms of interpretability. As for the performance-interpretability tradeoff, NEFCLASS has the best overall results; it achieves a good performance while being less complicated and more interpretable. {\textcopyright} 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

	abstract = {Building equipment accounts for almost 40\% of total global energy consumption. More than half of which is used by active systems, such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. These latter are responsible for the occupants{\textquoteright} well-being and considered among the main consumers of electricity in buildings. In order to improve both occupants{\textquoteright} comfort and energy efficiency in buildings, optimal control oriented models, such as Model Predictive Control (MPC), have proven to be promising techniques for developing intelligent control strategies for building energy management systems. This paper presents a real-time predictive control approach of an air conditioning (AC) system for thermal regulation in a single-zone building using MPC control framework. The proposed approach takes into account the physical parameters of the building, weather predictions (i.e. ambient temperature and solar radiation) and time-varying thermal comfort constraints to maintain optimal energy consumption of the AC while enhancing occupants{\textquoteright} comfort. For this purpose, a control-oriented thermal model for a room integrated with AC system is first developed using physics-based (white box) technique and then used to design and develop the MPC controller model. A numerical case study has been investigated and simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach in reducing the energy consumption by about 68\% while providing a significant indoor thermal improvement. A conventional On{\textendash}Off controller was used as a baseline reference to evaluate the system performance against the proposed approach. {\textcopyright} 2022},

	abstract = {The automatic keyphrases extraction (AKE) of a document is any expression by which we can learn its content without having to read it. Keyphrases are exploited in natural language processing (NLP) applications. These phrases are often mentioned in the document but there may be some keyphrases that are not mentioned. In the field of AKE, researchers have exploited many techniques, such as statistical calculation, deep learning algorithms, graph representation, and sentence embedding techniques. Approaches that exploit embedding techniques calculate the similarity between a document and a candidate keyphrase, where similar phrases to the document are considered as keyphrases. Representing the document by a single vector makes its performance poor, especially in long documents. This is in addition to the inability of these methods to generate absent keyphrases. In order to overcome these problems, our paper proposes an unsupervised approach to AKE, based on the universal sentence encoder (USE) to represent candidate keyphrases and parts of the document probably containing keyphrases. Our method also generates keyphrases not mentioned in the text. We compared the performance of the proposed approach with other methods based on embedding techniques, where the results showed the superiority of our approach especially in long documents. {\textcopyright} 2022 Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science.

To overcome the limitations of the existing methods, Deep Learning approaches are used.

However, they are in contrast very computationally expensive due essentially to three main factors, which are more precisely, the size of input images, the type of used layers, and the number of used parameters. From this perspective, the objective of this work is to adopt an approach that aims to reduce this computational complexity, in order to ensure a fast and efficient classification of traffic signs, especially for low and limited resources environments.

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

Particularly, one secondary user (SU) is transmitting data to an end-user optical ground station through the aid of a relay satellite, in the presence of an active eavesdropper at each hop. Moreover, another SU located in the first hop is acting as a friendly jammer and continuously broadcasting an artificial noise that cannot be decoded by the wiretapper so as to impinge positively on the system{\textquoteright}s secrecy. Owing to the underlying strategy, the SUs are permanently adjusting their transmit powers in order to avoid causing harmful interference to primary users. The RF channels undergo shadowed-Rician and Rayleigh fading models, while the optical link is subject to Gamma-Gamma turbulence with pointing error. Closed-form and asymptotic expressions for the intercept probability (IP) are derived considering two different scenarios regardless of the channel{\textquoteright}s conditions, namely (i) absence and (ii) presence of a friendly jammer. The effect of various key parameters on IP, e.g., sources{\textquoteright} transmit power, artificial noise, maximum tolerated interference power, and fading severity parameters are examined. Precisely, we aim to answer the following question: could a friendly jammer further enhance the security of such a system even in a low SNR regime?

Such wireless network configurations are particularly useful in efficient and demanding scenarios, such as military communications. Therefore, our analysis considers one single-antenna source node (SS) communicating with one legitimate destination node (DD) via a DF relay node (RR) equipped with multiple antennas for reception. Particularly, the relay receives the incoming signal from SS via an RF link, applies selection-combining (SC) technique, fully decodes it, re-encodes it, and then forwards it to the destination via a UOWC link. The communication is performed under the eavesdropper{\textquoteright}s attempt to intercept the S-RS-R hop (RF side). In this context, a closed-form expression for the secrecy outage probability is derived along with a thorough asymptotic analysis in the high SNR regime, based on which the achievable diversity order is provided. The offered results provide useful insights on the impact of some key system and channel parameters on the secrecy outage performance, such as the number of eavesdroppers, the number of relay antennas, fading severity parameters of RF links, and water turbulence severity of the UOWC link. The conducted analysis shows that the secrecy outage probability is dominated only by the RR-DD link in the high SNR regime, regardless of the SS-RR parameters, such as the number of relay antennas and the average SNR at the relay branches. The offered analytic results are corroborated with respective results from computer simulations. Since these parameters are closely related with the computational complexity at the involved terminals, the offered insights are useful for the design and computationally sustainable operation of such systems. {\textcopyright} 2016 IEEE.},

	abstract = {Nearly most of the organizations store massive amounts of data in large databases for research, statistics, and mining purposes. In most cases, much of the accumulated data contain sensitive information belonging to individuals which may breach privacy. Hence, ensuring privacy in big data is considered a very important issue. The concept of privacy aims to protect sensitive information from various attacks that may violate the identity of individuals. Anonymization techniques are considered the best way to ensure privacy in big data. Various works have been already realized, taking into account horizontal clustering. The L-diversity technique is one of those techniques dealing with sensitive numerical and categorical attributes. However, the majority of anonymization techniques using L-diversity principle for hierarchical data cannot resist the similarity attack and therefore cannot ensure privacy carefully. In order to prevent the similarity attack while preserving data utility, a hybrid technique dealing with categorical attributes is proposed in this paper. Furthermore, we highlighted all the steps of our proposed algorithm with detailed comments. Moreover, the algorithm is implemented and evaluated according to a well-known information loss-based criterion which is Normalized Certainty Penalty (NCP). The obtained results show a good balance between privacy and data utility. {\textcopyright} 2021 Zakariae El Ouazzani et al.},

	abstract = {Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a set of devices communicating directly with each other without the aid of an infrastructure. They exchange broadcast messages to detect links between nodes and to create routing tables. However, the broadcasting leads to the multiplication of redundant retransmissions. These retransmissions decrease the performance of the network. The Geographic Forwarding Rules (GFRs) are a technique that allows to scale down the ripple effects of broadcasting in order to increase the reliability of the network. They have been used in the context of the Optimized Link State Routing protocol (OLSR) and have reduced the useless transmissions of topology control (TC) messages. The GFRs use the location of the originator of the TC message to split nodes into virtual groups called the propagation zones. The algorithm freely advertises TC messages inside each zone and avoids redundant retransmissions between them. The authors of GFR presented several zoning techniques. However, they have studied only one method. In this paper, we draw analysis of different techniques to compute the propagation zones. We compare, by simulations, the improvement provided by the GFR algorithm on OLSR protocol using different partitioning methods. {\textcopyright} 2020, Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH.

	note = {cited By 8},
	abstract = {Hybrid terrestrial-satellite (HTS) communication systems have gained a tremendous amount of interest recently due to the high demand for global high data rates. Conventional satellite communications operate in the conventional Ku (12 GHz) and Ka (26.5-40 GHz) radio-frequency bands for assessing the feeder link, between the ground gateway and the satellite. Nevertheless, with the aim to provide hundreds of Mbps of throughput per each user, free-space optical (FSO) feeder links have been proposed to fulfill these high data rates requirements. In this paper, we investigate the physical layer security performance for a hybrid very high throughput satellite communication system with an FSO feeder link. In particular, the satellite receives the incoming optical wave from an appropriate optical ground station, carrying the data symbols of N users through various optical apertures and combines them using the selection combining technique. Henceforth, the decoded and regenerated information signals of the N users are zero-forcing (ZF) precoded in order to cancel the interbeam interference at the end-users. The communication is performed under the presence of malicious eavesdroppers nodes at both hops. Statistical properties of the signal-to-noise ratio of the legitimate and wiretap links at each hop are derived, based on which the intercept probability metric is evaluated. The derived results show that above a certain number of optical apertures, the secrecy level is not improved further. Also, the system{\textquoteright}s secrecy is improved using ZF precoding compared to the no-precoding scenario for some specific nodes{\textquoteright} positions. All the derived analytical expressions are validated through Monte Carlo simulations. {\textcopyright} 2021 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.. All rights reserved.},

	abstract = {In this paper, the physical layer security of a dual-hop underlay uplink cognitive radio network is investigated over Nakagami-m fading channels. Specifically, multiple secondary sources (S_i)_1{\l}eq i{\l}eq N are taking turns in accessing the licensed spectrum of the primary users and communicating with a multi-antenna secondary base station (D) through the aid of a multi-antenna relay R in the presence of M eavesdroppers (E_k)_1{\l}eq k{\l}eq M that are also equipped with multiple antennas. Among the remaining nodes, one jammer is randomly selected to transmit an artificial noise to disrupt all the eavesdroppers that are attempting to intercept the communication of the legitimate links, i.e., S_i-R and R-D. The received signals at each node are combined using maximum-ratio combining. Secrecy analysis is provided by deriving closed-form and asymptotic expressions for the secrecy outage probability. The impact of several key parameters on the system{\textquoteright}s secrecy, e.g., transmit power of the sources, number of eavesdroppers, maximum tolerated interference power, and the number of diversity branches is investigated. Importantly, by considering two scenarios, namely (i) absence and (ii) presence of a friendly jammer, new insights are obtained for the considered communication system. Especially, we tend to answer to the following question: Can better secrecy be achieved without jamming by considering a single antenna at eavesdroppers and multiple-ones at the legitimate users (i.e., relay and end-user) rather than sending permanently an artificial noise and considering that both the relay and the destination are equipped with a single antenna, while multiple antennas are used by the eavesdroppers? The obtained results are corroborated through Monte Carlo simulation and show that the system{\textquoteright}s security can be enhanced by adjusting the aforementioned parameters. {\textcopyright} 2015 IEEE.},

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

While existing work often assumes that the microphone is placed at a fixed distance from the acoustic device, this assumption does not hold in real settings. This leads to poor estimation of the IFR since the received acoustic energy varies significantly with the distance. Despite the fact that the acoustic source is passive and only one microphone is used, we show in this paper that the distance can be estimated by exploiting the inhaler actuation sound, generated when releasing the medication. Indeed, this sound is used as a reference acoustic signal which is leveraged to estimate the distance in real settings.

	abstract = {The prediction of software maintainability has emerged as an important research topic to address industry expectations for reducing costs, in particular maintenance costs. In the last decades, many studies have used single techniques to predict software maintainability but there is no agreement as to which technique can achieve the best prediction. Ensemble techniques, which combine two or more techniques, have been investigated in recent years. This study investigates ensemble techniques (homogeneous as well as heterogeneous) for predicting maintainability in terms of line code changes. To this end, well-known homogeneous ensembles such as Bagging, Boosting, Extra Trees, Gradient Boosting, and Random Forest are investigated first. Then the stacked generalization method is used to construct heterogeneous ensembles by combining the most accurate ones per dataset. The empirical results suggest that Gradient Boosting and Extra Trees are the best ensembles for all datasets, since they ranked first and second, respectively. Moreover, the findings of the evaluation of heterogeneous ensembles constructed using stacked generalization showed that they gave better prediction accuracy compared to all homogeneous ensembles.

	abstract = {SDN is a key-enabler to achieve scalability in 5G and Multi-access Edge Computing networks. To balance the load between distributed SDN controllers, the migration of the data plane components has been proposed. Different from most previous works which use reactive mechanisms, we propose to preemptively balance the load in the SDN control plane to support network flows that require low latency communications. First, we forecast the load of SDN controllers to prevent load imbalances and schedule data plane migrations in advance. Second, we optimize the migration operations to achieve better load balancing under delay constraints. Specifically, in the first step, we construct two prediction models based on Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) approaches to forecast SDN controllers load. Then, we conduct a comparative study between these two models and calculate their accuracies and forecast errors. The results show that, in long-term predictions, the accuracy of LSTM model outperforms that of ARIMA by 55\% in terms of prediction errors. In the second step, to select which data plane components to migrate and where the migration should happen under delay constraints, we formulate the problem as a non-linear binary program, prove its NP-completeness and propose a reinforcement learning algorithm to solve it. The simulations show that the proposed algorithm performs close to optimal and outperforms recent benchmark algorithms from the literature. {\textcopyright} 1967-2012 IEEE.},

	abstract = {Recently, digital health solutions are taking advantage of recent advances in information and communication technologies. In this context, patients{\textquoteright} health data are shared with other stakeholders. Moreover, it{\textquoteright}s now easier to collect massive health data due to the rising use of connected sensors in the health sector. However, the sensitivity of this shared healthcare data related to patients may increase the risks of privacy violation. Therefore, healthcare-related data need robust security measurements to prevent its disclosure and preserve patients{\textquoteright} privacy. However, in order to make well-informed decisions, it is often necessary to allow more permissive security policies for healthcare organizations even without the consent of patients or against their preferences. The authors of this chapter concentrate on highlighting these challenging issues related to patient privacy and presenting some of the most significant privacy preserving approaches in the context of digital health. {\textcopyright} 2021, IGI Global.},

	abstract = {Nowadays, predictive models -especially the ones based on machine learning- are widely used to solve many big data problems. One of the main challenges within predictive models is to choose the best model for each problem. In particular, model selection and feature selection are two important issues in machine learning models as they help to achieve the best results. This paper focuses on the restriction of these two problems to σ-SVR (support vector regression) and more specifically the optimization of both problems using the particle swarm optimization algorithm. Our approach is investigated in the estimation of remaining useful life (RUL) of aircrafts which a ects their maintenance planning and which is an interesting issue in predictive maintenances. That is, the experiment consists of predicting RUL of aircraft engines using an σ-SVR optimized by PSO. Experimental results show the efficiency of the proposed approach. {\textcopyright} 2017 Association for Computing Machinery.},

	abstract = {Game theory is often used to find equilibria where no player can unilaterally increase its own payoff by changing its strategy without changing the strategies of other players. In this paper, we propose to use coalition formation to compute the optimized tours of mobile sinks in charge of collecting data from static wireless sensor nodes. Mobile sinks constitute a very attractive solution for wireless sensor networks, WSNs, where the application requirements in terms of node autonomy are very strong unlike the requirement in terms of latency. Mobile sinks allow wireless sensor nodes to save energy The associated coalition formation problem has a stable solution given by the final partition obtained. However, the order in which the players play has a major impact on the final result. We determine the best order to minimize the number of mobile sinks needed. We evaluate the complexity of this coalitional game as well as the impact of the number of collect points per surface unit on the number of mobile sinks needed and on the maximum tour duration of these mobile sinks. In addition, we show how to extend the coalitional game to support different latencies for different types of data. Finally, we formalize our problem as an optimization problem and we perform a comparative evaluation. {\textcopyright} 2016 IEEE.},

One of the most challenging issues in these environments is the security of the hosted data. Many cloud computing providers offer web applications for their clients, this is why the most handling attacks in cloud computing are Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). In this paper, we provide a comparative performance analysis of intrusion detection systems (IDSs) in a real world lab. The aim is to provide an up to date study for researchers and practitioners to understand the issues related to intrusion detection and to deal with DDoS attacks. This analysis includes intrusion detection rates, time running, etc. In the experiments, we configured a cloud platform using OpenStack and an IDS monitoring the whole network traffic of the web server configured. The results show that Suricata drops fewer packets than Bro and Snort successively when a DDoS attack is happening and detect more malicious packets. {\textcopyright} Springer International Publishing AG 2017.},

Our system model consists of two communication paths, and the receiver uses the MRC combining scheme to combine the received signals through these both links. The first optical link consists of a source (S) and a destination (D) nodes communicating through a relay node (R), which receives the incoming information-bearing signal and forwards it to the destination (i.e. detect-and- forward relaying (Det-F)). Both (S-R) and (R-D) hops are operating under FSO link subject to Malaga-M turbulence model with the presence of pointing error. The second link is a direct RF link, connecting the source (S) directly to the destination (D), and is assumed to be subject to Rayleigh fading channel. We present in this paper the exact closed-form expression of the moment-generating function (MGF) of the total end-to-end SNR. Based on this result, we derive successfully the average symbol error rate of our mixed RF/FSO communication system using the MGF-based approach, in terms of either univariate or bivariate Fox{\textquoteright}s H-Function.

In this system, a single transmit antenna, which maximizes the total received signal power at the receiver, is selected for uncoded transmission and is applied to reduce the system complexity without any loss in diversity. Since much research has been conducted on system performance under Rayleigh and Nakagami-m fading channels, this study will focus on new simple approximate closed-form of the post-processing signal to noise ratio (SNR) probability density function (PDF) over Weibull multipath fading channels. Based on this expression, approximate analytical expressions such outage probability (OP), the average channel capacity (CC), and the average symbol error rate (ASER) for several Mary modulation techniques are derived as infinite series, which converge by using a particular hypergeometric function, known as Meijer G-function. Theoritical analysis is verified by computed simulations using Mathematica software. {\textcopyright} 2016 IEEE.},

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

Both transmitter and receiver communicate through two paths: the first link operates under Radio-Frequency (RF) technology, assumed to undergo a Weibull fading channel, while the second link operates under Free Space Optical (FSO) technology, subject to M{\'a}laga-Mturbulence model with the presence of pointing error impairment. Both incoming signals are combined at the receiver side using Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) technique. We retrieve, in particular, the Moment Generating Function (MGF) of the total Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). Based on that, we present the exact closedform expression of the Average Symbol Error Rate (ASER) of the considered RF/FSO system for different modulations schemes in terms of the bivariate Fox{\textquoteright}s H-Function. {\textcopyright} 2017 IEEE.},

The proposed framework aims at modeling performance measurement, and forecasting of a selected hospital{\textquoteright}s drug suppliers. Even though it is broadly employed as a benchmarking tool to evaluate DMUs efficiency, DEA can hardly be used to predict the performance of unseen DMUs. For this reason, ANFIS model has been integrated to DEA due to its nonlinear mapping, strong generalization capabilities and pattern prediction functionalities. DEA based BCC model is used to evaluate the efficiency scores of a set of suppliers, then ANFIS intervenes to learn DEA patterns and to forecast the performance of new suppliers. The results of this research highlight the prediction power of the proposed model in a new scope. They present it as an efficient benchmarking tool and a promising decision support system applied at the operational level. {\textcopyright} 2017 Association for Computing Machinery.},

	note = {cited By 0},
	abstract = {Game theory is often used to find equilibria where no player can unilaterally increase its own payoff by changing its strategy without changing the strategies of other players. In this paper, we propose to use coalition formation to compute the optimized tours of mobile sinks in charge of collecting data from static wireless sensor nodes. Mobile sinks constitute a very attractive solution for wireless sensor networks, WSNs, where the application requirements in terms of node autonomy are very strong unlike the requirement in terms of latency. Mobile sinks allow wireless sensor nodes to save energy The associated coalition formation problem has a stable solution given by the final partition obtained. However, the order in which the players play has a major impact on the final result. We determine the best order to minimize the number of mobile sinks needed. We evaluate the complexity of this coalitional game as well as the impact of the number of collect points per surface unit on the number of mobile sinks needed and on the maximum tour duration of these mobile sinks. In addition, we show how to extend the coalitional game to support different latencies for different types of data. Finally, we formalize our problem as an optimization problem and we perform a comparative evaluation. {\textcopyright} 2016 IEEE.},

	abstract = {Purpose {\textendash} This paper aims to demonstrate that a policy-based middleware solution which facilitates the development of context-aware applications and the integration of the heterogeneous devices should be provided for ubiquitous computing environments. Ubiquitous computing targets the provision of seamless services and applications by providing an environment that involves a variety of devices having different capabilities. These applications help transforming the physical spaces into computationally active and smart environments. The design of applications in these environments needs to consider the heterogeneous devices, applications preferences and rapidly changing contexts. The applications, therefore, need to be context-aware so that they can adapt to different situations in real-time. Design/methodology/approach {\textendash} In this paper, we argue that a policy-based middleware solution that facilitates the development of context-aware applications and the integration of the heterogeneous devices should be provided for ubiquitous computing environments. The middleware allows applications to track items and acquire contextual information about them easily, reason about this information captured using different logics and then adapt to changing contexts. A key issue in these environments is to allow heterogeneous applications to express their business rules once, and get the preferred data once they are captured by the middleware without any intervention from the application side. Findings {\textendash} Our middleware tackles this problem by using policies to define the different applications{\textquoteright} rules and preferences. These policies can specify rules about the middleware services to be used, type of data captured, devices used, user roles, context information and any other type of conditions. Originality/value {\textendash} In this paper, we propose the design of a flexible and performant ubiquitous computing, and context-aware middleware called FlexRFID along with its evaluation results. {\textcopyright} Emerald Group Publishing Limited.},

	abstract = {Predicting software product quality (SPQ) is becoming a permanent concern during software life cycle phases. In this paper, a systematic mapping study was performed to summarize the existing SPQ prediction (SPQP) approaches in literature and to organize the selected studies according to seven classification criteria: SPQP approaches, research types, empirical types, data sets used in the empirical evaluation of these studies, artifacts, SQ models, and SQ characteristics. Publication channels and trends were also identified. After identifying 182 documents in ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and Google scholar, 69 papers were selected. The results show that the main publication source of the papers identified was conference. Data mining techniques are the most frequently SPQP approaches reported in literature. Solution proposal was the main research type identified. The majority of the papers selected were history-based evaluations using existing data which were mainly obtained from open source software projects and domain specific projects. Source code was the main artifact concerned with SPQP approaches. Well-known SQ models were hardly mentioned and reliability is the SQ characteristic through which SPQP was mainly achieved. SPQP-related subject seems to need more investigation from researchers and practitioners. Moreover, SQ models and standards need to be considered more in future SPQP research.},

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

This type of routing provides a very rapid development and new perspectives in WSNs. However, there are several constraints and challenges to overcome the security problems. In this paper, we propose a security solution based on the RAID5 technology and a multi-path routing, to develop a protective mechanism against the various attacks in mobile WSNs. To demonstrate our concept, we have implemented this solution on Probabilistic Routing Protocol using History of Encounters and Transitivity (PRoPHET).

It has been widely reported that selecting an inappropriate ERP is one of the major reasons for its implementation failure. In this paper, we will develop a new ex-ante evaluation method for ERP system tailoring and selection.

SEVALERPS relies on many sound mathematical techniques to handle various evaluation aspects: 0-1 linear programming to choose the best ERP tailoring scenarios, MACBETH to express the preferences of the selection team in both a qualitative and quantitative way, and the discrete Choquet integral to address interdependencies that might exist among evaluation criteria.

	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 this system is that it allows users to specify what they want, rather than thinking about how to get the responses. The works realized in this area have particular leads to two major classes of integration systems: the mediation systems based on the paradigm mediator / adapter and peer to peer systems (P2P). The combination of both systems has led to a third type; is the mediation P2P systems. The P2P systems are large-scale systems, self-organized and distributed. They allow the resource management in a completely decentralized way. However, the integration of structured information sources, heterogeneous and distributed proves to be a complex problem. The objective of this work is to propose an approach to resolve conflicts and establish a mapping between the heterogeneous elements. This approach is based on clustering; the latter is to group similar Peers that share common information in the same subnet. Thus, to facilitate the heterogeneity, we introduced three additional layers of our hierarchy of peers: internal schema, external schema and Schema directory peer. We used linguistic techniques, and precisely the name correspondence technique, that is based on the similarity of names to propose a correspondence.},

	abstract = {Due to the progress of network multimedia technology, Internet research community has 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 receptors within a minimum delay and delay variation. Nevertheless, these protocols does not take into account that group members may be mobile and have not been designed for mobile members and roaming sources, and has not been tested in wireless and mobile environment since they were developed for multicast parties whose members and sources are topologically stationary. Recently, as the performance of mobile hosts rapidly improves and the bandwidth of wireless access networks grows up, the expectation for mobile multimedia communication services including many-to-many communications begins a big necessary. Studying and solving multicast issues in the stationary multicast infrastructure has been largely studied in the literature. However, fewer efforts have been spent in the specific problems of mobile members and sources caused by the frequent change of membership and point of attachment. The main problematic of the multicast IP protocols in a Mobile IP environment is the frequent change of membership and members location, this can rapidly affect quality of both routing protocol scheme and multicast tree used, especially, the scenario of handover where a mobile source moves from attachment point in one sub-network to another one in another sub-network is challenging. A multicast source is identified by its Home Address HA. Since IP mobility implies acquisition of a new topologically Care-of-Address CoA at each handoff resulting in a change of identity of the multicast source, however, the established multicast routing states are always based on the home address of the mobile source. This paper addresses the issue of mobile Multicast routing by presenting a PIM-SM based architecture with a GRASP-RP selection algorithm. The key idea of this work is to make the handover of multicast sources transparent and avoid the reconstruction of the entire multicast-based tree, by using an architecture based in PIM-SM multicast distribution trees to hide the mobility of a mobile multicast source from the main multicast delivery tree. To estimate and evaluate our scheme, we implement simulation based in many metrics, 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 Rinton Press.},

	abstract = {Mobile communication has become the preferred choice of personal communication today. With the rapid proliferation of wireless network technologies, heterogeneous wireless network environments increase more and more. Such environments provide multiple access networks simultaneously for mobile users. Each mobile user wishes to get connected to Internet using the access technology that best suits his needs at any point in time. Always Best Connected is considered as a special concept for mobile users to select their suitable access networks. In this paper, we have presented two scenarios which are based on Always Best Connected concept to provide, for a smart vehicle moving in a road network installed with multiple access technologies, an always best connected service at any point in time. In the first scenario, we assume that the mobile user (vehicle) has complete information on the road network (all access technologies installed in the road network). Whilst the second scenario is the same as the first one except that the mobile user periodically receives a partial information on the road network (only the access technologies installed in the edges which are immediately accessible by mobile user). For both scenarios, we have proposed a graph model to characterize the observed mobility pattern. Also, two algorithms are proposed to find the optimal path that provides always best connected service for vehicles in both scenarios.},

	abstract = {To is an intelligent and mobile multi agent system (MAS) running on Java-enabled handheld devices. The universe of to agents is composed of a set of autonomous agents in interaction. The intelligence of to agents is carried out using a reasoning framework. This framework is currently specialized by a rule-based reasoning system. In this paper, we propose a learning framework to support ontology-based learning for intelligent agents. We mean by learning, the process of agent behaviour changing through its interaction with the surrounding world in order to improve its intelligence. Learning for agents is an important task to achieve full intelligence. The framework allows agents on mobile devices to acquire context data from environment, process ontological information and produce inference rules for the reasoner of the agents. We present our design principles and the implementation, and demonstrate the development of reasoning agents on reduced devices with learning capability. The ontology was developed in order to describe the knowledge of the surrounding computing environment of the intelligent agent. This research addresses the lack of a standard model for learning agents on mobile devices under J2ME. In this paper, we propose a framework for building an ontology-based learner producing and expanding inference rules for agent reasoning engine. The domain of ontologies to achieve learning of agents for mobile phones is an emerging area of research and perhaps even the key towards opening the intelligent interaction between agents on reduced mobile phones. We think that the development of agent learning software using design patterns, frameworks, and re-factoring for mobile devices in J2ME, will much improve software quality.},

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

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

	abstract = {During the last years, reference process modeling becomes an efficient approach for reuse in business process modeling (BPM). Many BPM tools provide mechanisms to adapt reference process models in order to meet new needs. However, this adaptation results in a set of variants which have to be managed. One of the most proposed solutions is the configurable process model. Therefore, evolving this configurable process model in terms of activities, a data flows and resources changes becomes a crucial issue. In this paper, we propose a process pattern which guides designers for managing evolution of configurable reference process models.},

It defines a method of controlling congestion in networks with packet switching and particularly the Internet. In spite of the efforts made to resolve the congestion problem, this protocol continues to meet numerous of troubles in particular in networks where the Bandwidth Delay Product (BOP) is high. Mainly, this paper compares the behaviors of the six most distinguished high speed TCP versions using simulations. In particular, it compares the intra protocol fairness of these variants and their behavior in the presence of a standard TCP traffic by examining the resulting unfairness and packet losses.},

However, only few works have considered the issue of load distribution in a Web services context. In this paper, we investigate three models that might be used to achieve load distribution in a Web services environment. We focus on load distribution at the operation level by considering the assignment of methods execution to appropriate Web services according to some selection policies. The experiments we have conducted using the broker-oriented model have shown that better results are obtained using the random policy for Web service selection.},

	abstract = {Multicasting messages to group members is now allowed thanks to many network level multicast routing protocols. Actually, current multicast routing protocols suffer from inflexibility in relation to their environment resources, and inappropriateness towards dynamic properties of group members. Thus, proposing implementations of new protocols in order to evaluate their performance is a costly issue, and it is better to simulate their behaviour before deciding whether they are efficient or not. We present a global {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}adaptive multicast routing protocol{{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}}, based on a special multicast tree, KBT (Kernel Based Tree). This strategy may lead to a new {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}QoS multicast routing protocol{{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}}. Our approach is based on the choice of a {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}kernel{{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}} of {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}interception points{{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}} in the initial multicast tree. As part of our work, we present in this paper the architecture, properties, and the main functionalities of our protocol. We finally evaluate the performance of our adaptive protocol through comparisons with classical current multicast routing protocols in the Internet, and show the enhancements provided by our solution.},
