1. A Novel ACO-Based Static Task Scheduling Approach for Multiprocessor Environments
Hamid Reza Boveiri
Pages: 800 - 811
Optimized task scheduling is one of the most important challenges in parallel and distributed systems. In such architectures during compile step, each program is decomposed into the smaller segments so-called tasks. Tasks of a program may be dependent; some tasks may need data generated by the others...

3. Artificial Neural Network Based Droop-Control Technique for Accurate Power Sharing in an Islanded Microgrid
T. Vigneysh, N. Kumarappan
Pages: 827 - 838
In an islanded microgrid, while considering the complex nature of line impedance, the generalized droop control fails to share the actual real/reactive power between the distributed generation (DG) units. To overcome this power sharing issue, in this paper a new approach based on feed forward neural...

4. Multi-objective Transportation Problem with Cost Reliability Under Uncertain Environment
Gurupada Maity, Sankar Kumar Roy, José Luis Verdegay
Pages: 839 - 849
This paper analyzes the study of a Multi-Objective Transportation Problem (MOTP) under uncertain environment. Assuming the uncertainty in real-life decision making problems, the concept of reliability is incorporated in the transportation cost and the effectiveness is justified through the proposed MOTP....

6. A two-stage hybrid classification technique for network intrusion detection system
Jamal Hussain, Samuel Lalmuanawma, Lalrinfela Chhakchhuak
Pages: 863 - 875
Conventional Network intrusion detection system (NIDS) mostly uses individual classification techniques, such system fails to provide the best possible attack detection rate. In this paper, we propose a new two-stage hybrid classification method using Support Vector Machine (SVM) as anomaly detection...

7. Ontology Knowledge Mining for Ontology Alignment
Rihab Idoudi, Karim Saheb Ettabaa, Basel Solaiman, Kamel Hamrouni
Pages: 876 - 887
As the ontology alignment facilitates the knowledge exchange among the heterogeneous data sources, several methods have been introduced in literature. Nevertheless, few of them have been interested in decreasing the problem complexity and reducing the research space of correspondences between the input...

8. Hybrid tracking model for multiple object videos using second derivative based visibility model and tangential weighted spatial tracking model
Felix M. Philip, Rajeswari Mukesh
Pages: 888 - 899
In the area of video surveillance, tracking model for multiple object video is still a challenging task since the objects are usually affected with inter-object occlusion, object confusion, different posing, environment with heavy clutter, small size of objects, similar appearance among objects, and...

9. A New Approach to Extract Text from Images based on DWT and K-means Clustering
Deepika Ghai, Divya Gera, Neelu Jain
Pages: 900 - 916
Text present in image provides important information for automatic annotation, indexing and retrieval. Therefore, its extraction is a well known research area in computer vision. However, variations of text due to differences in orientation, alignment, font, size, low image contrast and complex background...

13. Empirical Comparison of Differential Evolution Variants for Industrial Controller Design
Tony Wong, Pascal Bigras, Vincent Duchaîne, Jean-Philippe Roberge
Pages: 957 - 970
To be cost-effective, most commercial off-the-shelf industrial controllers have low system order and a predefined internal structure. When operating in an industrial environment, the system output is often specified by a reference model, and the control system must closely match the model’s response....
