The huge impact of Transfer Learning (TL) techniques in many fields was achieved using several state-of-the-art ImageNet-pretrained models. These models have shown great performance improvements on this dataset over the last few years. One of the recently used TL techniques is feature extraction with the help of Feature Concatenation (FC), where the extracted features of multiple pretrained models are concatenated together before training on them, to produce more robust and discriminative feature representations on various classification tasks. However, neither TL nor FC techniques have been tested on the same dataset that initially trained the pretrained models, i.e. ImageNet. Hence, this work provides an investigative study to test the possibility of improving the ImageNet accuracy using the feature extraction approach of TL with the help of FC techniques. The results of this work show that there is no TL technique that can be used with or without FC to increase the accuracy of pretrained models on the original dataset on which they were trained. Even for FC, it cannot produce a more discriminative feature representation for the original data than what the individual models can produce.

In this paper, the Proportional-Integrator-Differentiator (PID) controller is tuned in a rate-based congestion control scheme to be used for the ATM networks. The tuning strategy is based on reformulating the problem to be as an optimization problem with a compact fitness function reflecting the control requirements. The key contribution in this paper is to adopt the immune algorithm as the tuning process, which proves to be so simple, fast, and computationally cheap compared with the other traditional tuning methods. For the purpose of comparison, a simplified network model is built and simulated using two control methods; namely: the proposed control scheme and the well-known single-bit indicator scheme. The experimental results prove that the PID controller tuned by the immune algorithm is superior in terms of the stability of both, buffer occupancy in the switch and the source rate. Both the transient behavior and the steady-state response for the PID controller are shown to be much better than the single-bit indicator scheme. Consequently, the proposed control scheme outperforms the single-bit indicator in terms of link utilization, buffer utilization, packet drop and robustness against any burst change in the network environment.

Software-Defined Networking is considered as a prominent architecture in the field of networking. The separation of control plane with data plane provides an efficient way to implement and manage real-world networks. In recent years, there has been a major boost in network traffic due to the advancement in IoT and cloud technologies. The main drive behind the SDNs is primarily due to the fact that existing legacy networks do not have the capacity to manage such large volumes of traffic in coming future. One of the major concern related to the implementation of SDN networks is the recovery time in case of link failure and congestion. This is known to be the main bottleneck for the scalability of pure SDN networks. The existing method in use requires the SDN devices to contact the centralized controller to act during such events. However, in real-world networks consisting of many devices, such a solution increases the latency immensely thus reducing the efficiency of the network. In here, we propose a method to improve the recovery time for link failure and congestion events. The method consists of controller modules that proactively install rules before the occurrence of such events. This will provide the ability to these devices to handle such issues at the data plane without the intervention of controller. The rules are later pushed to SDN devices at regular intervals using different algorithms and RESTful methods. The proposed solution largely improves the efficiency of these networks by reducing their overall latency.

Currently, the video annotation process becomes a very necessary task to overcome the problem of finding the adequate information on a huge database. To achieve this, it will be necessary to translate low level analysis results to a semantic meaning related to the video sequence, generally known as problem of semantic gap. Many researchers have worked on this issue in the aim to find new solutions, where the ontology paradigm is represented as one of them. In this paper, we consider this problem by developing a soccer ontology, that is used in our OSAS annotation system (Ontology Soccer Annotation System). This one is based on a set of Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL) rules that bridges the semantic gap problem. Our idea show new directions and perspectives for future developments.

This paper introduces suggestion to reduce the losses and voltage drop by reactive power compensation and cable sizing. This losses reduction ratio, the annual saving and reducing in voltage drop is a good motivation to rehabilitate the Gaza Governorate Electrical Grid by applying this suggestion. The grid was unbalanced in most cases, there was a big difference in losses and voltage drop between balance and unbalanced load in the two feeders have been taken as a case study.

In machine learning, feature selection can be used to reduce the computation time and improve the learning accuracy, especially when dealing with high-dimensional data sets. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has attracted significant concerns to enhance the feature selection process due to its efficiency in solving problems. This paper introduces a new hybrid filters-wrapper approach that is used to enhance the feature selection process using PSO algorithm. Our proposed approach combines five filtration methods in with different weights to produce a new hybrid filters-wrapper algorithm using BPSO. The proposed approach has been evaluated by performing comparisons with other methods like wrapper alone and filter alone. The obtained results show that the proposed approach has achieved better performance than other approaches taking into account three parameters; The number of selected features, the classification accuracy, and the execution time. In addition, the new approach has been tested to ensure its stability in the feature selection and it has shown a high degree of stability.

Digital filters play an important role in digital signal processing applications. In this work Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) algorithm is used to design optimal digital UR filters. The multiobjective function based on minimizing the absolute error (L1-norm), the square of error (L2-norm) and the ripple of magnitude of passband and stopband frequencies is used to solve the optimization problem with stability constraints. The simulation results of designed Low-pass (LP), High-pass (HP), Band-pass (BP) and Band-stop (BS) show the ability and success of using GWO for design digital HR filters and it gives frequency response with small absolute error and design specifications within suitable range as compared with other algorithms in literature.
