Congestion control and internet network resources management are complex and critical issues in a high-speed packet switch data network, due to the emergence growth of modern multimedia streaming services. The increasing number of computer users in various organizations and institutions of higher learning have spurred a great deal of research on network traffic control. Network administrators are facing the challenges of providing efficient services that can satisfy user requirements. This research study proposed queuing algorithm based on classbased weighted fair queue scheme to complement congestion. Network simulation environment are designed and modeled using OPNET simulation software in-order to overcome the limitation of the traditional queuing approach. Various simulations scenarios are conducted. Analysis comparison with first-in-first-out and priority queue is recorded. And also, various network traffics such as: HTTP, video conferencing and voice applications among others are considered. From the graphical results obtained clearly shows that the overall applications services performances optimize significantly. In terms of the throughput, packet loss and queuing delay, the algorithms performs excellently compared with the FIFO and priority queue. This paper examines the implication of queuing scheduling algorithms on an IP router. It also outlines the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in managing network resources during the period of congestion.

Image processing is a computational operation that requires many CPU cycles for simple image transformation. It takes every pixel of an image to perform a transformation to a new image. The image can be divided into smaller chunks, with same transformation operations being implemented on each. Thus, image processing is a good candidate for running on a parallel processor to improve the speed of computation when there are multiple images to be processed. In fact, this research focuses on Canny edge detection as a case study of probing parallelism. This work presents the design and implementation of sequential and parallel edge detection algorithms that are capable of producing high-quality results and performing at high speed. Therefore, this research aims to improve the Canny edge detection algorithm in terms of speed and scalability with different sizes of images. The algorithm is implemented using parallel clusters on KACST’s SANAM supercomputer. It is found that there is a valuable gained speedup with respect to the sequential version.In addition, it is found that more parallelism is explored in larger image sizes with Canny edge detector.

Software testing is one of the important steps of SDLC. In software testing one of the important issues is how to allocate the limited resources so that we finish our testing on time and will deliver quality software. Number of Software Reliability Growth Models (SRGM) has been developed for allocating the testing resource in the past three decades but majority of models are developed in static environment. In this paper we developed model in a dynamic environment and also the software is divided into different modules. We also used Pontryagin Maximum principle for solving the model. At last one numerical example is solved for allocating the resource for a given module. For allocating resource optimally we used Genetic Algorithm (GA). GA is used as a powerful tool for solving search & optimization kind of problems.

In the domain of Human Computer Interaction (HCI), the communication between humans and software is an ongoing challenge. On the one hand, humans have growing needs and expectations. On the other hand, software has more advanced features and functionalities. This dual complexity growth results in difficulty in interaction. User interface is the battleground where sophisticated cognitive demands need to be resolved between the user and the software for effective communication. When interaction involves big data retrieval, communication often takes the form of software displaying data, and users comprehending their meaning, then requesting more date, or requesting some processing to be applied on

Monitoring and control of soil parameters such as temperature, moisture and micronutrients play an important role in producing quality horticulture crops. The farms at Pwani Region needed close monitoring and control of soil parameters because the type of soil in this place is alluvial which can drain water and loose macronutrients easily. Recently Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has been used to monitors soil parameters, however many systems developed from existing frameworks were unable to meet requirements for small and medium scale horticulture farmers. This paper addresses the challenges mentioned above and provides solution that fits the left gap by improving previous frameworks. The gap was identified after comparing different WSN related technologies and requirements obtained from experts and farmers. The framework designed from this information was used to develop WSN system which can be easily used by farmers of different levels of education.

Robots that works in a dynamic environment must possess, the ability to autonomously cope with the changes in the environment. This paper proposes an approach to predict changes in the state and actions of robots. Further, this approach attempts to apply predicted future actions to current actions. This method predicts the robot’s state and action for the distant future using the states that the robot adopts repeatedly. Using this method, the actions that the robot will take in the future can be predicted. The method proposed in this paper predicts the state and action of a robot each time it decides to perform an action. In particular, this paper focuses on defining weight coefficients, using the characteristics of the future prediction results. Using this method, the compensatory current action will be obtained. This paper presents the results of our study and discusses methods that allow the robot to quickly determine its most desirable action, using state prediction and optimal control methods.
