    Position Vectors Based Efficient Indoor Positioning System

    Ayesha Javed1, Mir Yasir Umair1,*, Alina Mirza1, Abdul Wakeel1, Fazli Subhan2, Wazir Zada Khan3

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.67, No.2, pp. 1781-1799, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2021.015229

    Abstract With the advent and advancements in the wireless technologies, Wi-Fi fingerprinting-based Indoor Positioning System (IPS) has become one of the most promising solutions for localization in indoor environments. Unlike the outdoor environment, the lack of line-of-sight propagation in an indoor environment keeps the interest of the researchers to develop efficient and precise positioning systems that can later be incorporated in numerous applications involving Internet of Things (IoTs) and green computing. In this paper, we have proposed a technique that combines the capabilities of multiple algorithms to overcome the complexities experienced indoors. Initially, in the database development phase, Motley Kennan propagation… More >

    Machine Learning Empowered Security Management and Quality of Service Provision in SDN-NFV Environment

    Shumaila Shahzadi1, Fahad Ahmad1,*, Asma Basharat1, Madallah Alruwaili2, Saad Alanazi2, Mamoona Humayun2, Muhammad Rizwan1, Shahid Naseem3

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.66, No.3, pp. 2723-2749, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2021.014594

    Abstract With the rising demand for data access, network service providers face the challenge of growing their capital and operating costs while at the same time enhancing network capacity and meeting the increased demand for access. To increase efficacy of Software Defined Network (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) framework, we need to eradicate network security configuration errors that may create vulnerabilities to affect overall efficiency, reduce network performance, and increase maintenance cost. The existing frameworks lack in security, and computer systems face few abnormalities, which prompts the need for different recognition and mitigation methods to keep the system in the… More >

    Marker-Based and Marker-Less Motion Capturing Video Data: Person and Activity Identification Comparison Based on Machine Learning Approaches

    Syeda Binish Zahra1,2, Muhammad Adnan Khan2,*, Sagheer Abbas1, Khalid Masood Khan2, Mohammed A. Al-Ghamdi3, Sultan H. Almotiri3

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.66, No.2, pp. 1269-1282, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.012778

    Abstract Biomechanics is the study of physiological properties of data and the measurement of human behavior. In normal conditions, behavioural properties in stable form are created using various inputs of subconscious/conscious human activities such as speech style, body movements in walking patterns, writing style and voice tunes. One cannot perform any change in these inputs that make results reliable and increase the accuracy. The aim of our study is to perform a comparative analysis between the marker-based motion capturing system (MBMCS) and the marker-less motion capturing system (MLMCS) using the lower body joint angles of human gait patterns. In both the… More >

    An Improved K-nearest Neighbor Algorithm Using Tree Structure and Pruning Technology

    Juan Li

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.25, No.1, pp. 35-48, 2019, DOI:10.31209/2018.100000003

    Abstract K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm (KNN) is a simple and mature classification method. However there are susceptible factors influencing the classification performance, such as k value determination, the overlarge search space, unbalanced and multi-class patterns, etc. To deal with the above problems, a new classification algorithm that absorbs tree structure, tree pruning and adaptive k value method was proposed. The proposed algorithm can overcome the shortcoming of KNN, improve the performance of multi-class and unbalanced classification, reduce the scale of dataset maintaining the comparable classification accuracy. The simulations are conducted and the proposed algorithm is compared with several existing algorithms. The results… More >

    Applying Feature-Weighted Gradient Decent K-Nearest Neighbor to Select Promising Projects for Scientific Funding

    Chuqing Zhang1, Jiangyuan Yao2, *, Guangwu Hu3, Thomas Schøtt4

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.64, No.3, pp. 1741-1753, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.010306

    Abstract Due to its outstanding ability in processing large quantity and high-dimensional data, machine learning models have been used in many cases, such as pattern recognition, classification, spam filtering, data mining and forecasting. As an outstanding machine learning algorithm, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) has been widely used in different situations, yet in selecting qualified applicants for winning a funding is almost new. The major problem lies in how to accurately determine the importance of attributes. In this paper, we propose a Feature-weighted Gradient Decent K-Nearest Neighbor (FGDKNN) method to classify funding applicants in to two types: approved ones or not approved ones.… More >

    An Improved Whale Optimization Algorithm for Feature Selection

    Wenyan Guo1, *, Ting Liu1, Fang Dai1, Peng Xu1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.62, No.1, pp. 337-354, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.06411

    Abstract Whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is a new population-based metaheuristic algorithm. WOA uses shrinking encircling mechanism, spiral rise, and random learning strategies to update whale’s positions. WOA has merit in terms of simple calculation and high computational accuracy, but its convergence speed is slow and it is easy to fall into the local optimal solution. In order to overcome the shortcomings, this paper integrates adaptive neighborhood and hybrid mutation strategies into whale optimization algorithms, designs the average distance from itself to other whales as an adaptive neighborhood radius, and chooses to learn from the optimal solution in the neighborhood instead of… More >

    Condition Monitoring of Roller Bearing by K-Star Classifier and K-Nearest Neighborhood Classifier Using Sound Signal.

    Rahul Kumar Sharma*1, V. Sugumaran1, Hemantha Kumar2, Amarnath M3

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.11, No.1, pp. 1-16, 2017, DOI:10.3970/sdhm.2017.012.001

    Abstract Most of the machineries in small or large scale industry have rotating element supported by bearings for rigid support and accurate movement. For proper functioning of machinery, condition monitoring of the bearing is very important. In present study sound signal is used to continuously monitor bearing health as sound signals of rotating machineries carry dynamic information of components. There are numerous studies in literature that are reporting superiority of vibration signal of bearing fault diagnosis. However, there are very few studies done using sound signal. The cost associated with condition monitoring using sound signal (Microphone) is less than the cost… More >
