With the drift of consumers to the E-cloud marketplaces based on different service offerings, waiting time is of great importance to cloud service consumers and also the source of competitive advantage for cloud providers. Keeping customers waiting due to poor level of service leads to service degradation which in turn leads to breach of Service Level Agreement; and this may incur additional cost. We saw an opportunity to determine the optimum service level that minimizes the cost of delay in offering a service and made it our goal. Most researchers have approached this using the exogenous non-priority queue model; which would have been useful where service offerings are not differentiated. Our approach uses the Non-Preemptive queuing modeling. In this approach, the queuing theory is used to get our measure of effectiveness which is then used in our cost model to determine the optimal service level. We conclude that our results are useful where the providers need minimum cost to be incurred for better profit maximization.

Presently, the network simulator 2 (ns-2) is a common and popular simulation tool for the IEEE 802.11 wireless networks, mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and wireless sensor network (IEEE 802.15.4). However, the network module for the IEEE 802.15.7 module has not been developed for the ns-2. In this paper, we have designed and implemented the medium access control (MAC) protocol based on IEEE 802.15.7 standard with point-to-multipoint mode for ns-2. This module will benefit academic researchers and industrial developers in simulating and developing the IEEE 802.15.7 systems. This paper also presents the module architecture and the performance results.

Human Activity Recognition (HAR) have been developed for recognize context generated from human. In real environment system required multi -sensor for support large area and get more accuracy result. Using multi-sensor make high dimensional data which inefficacious for classification model. This paper is concerned with developing classification model that supports high dimensional data and reducing system process by used only some collected data in the decision process. A new-developed model was not developed to be the most accurate but developed to adjust level of credibility. This model was tested using simulated data from real behavior context. Test Results compared with Neural networks (NN) was similar. But developed model uses less data.

This study investigates the joint resource block (RB) and power allocation in self-organized femtocell networks. Specifically, the concern here is to maximize the energy efficiency while minimizing the impact of interference in the network. The energy efficiency criterion that is incorporated in this study includes the transmission power and the circuit power. The joint allocation task is modeled as a non-cooperative game, in which the femto base stations are the players and RB and power levels are the actions that are associated with each player. In addition, the proposed non-cooperative game is demonstrated to exhibit pure and unique Nash Equilibrium. In order to minimize the complexity of the proposed non-cooperative game, the joint allocation task is decomposed into two sub problems: a RB allocation and a particle swarm optimization based power allocation. The analysis is carried out regarding energy efficiency and throughput of the femtocell network. Furthermore, the comparison with the traditional methods illustrates the superior performance of the proposed non-cooperative game.

For high data rate propagation and indoor obstacles in wireless ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems, the signal fading and noises are influencing the performance of the wireless systems. In this paper, the rake-receiver was presented with the spread signal by time-hopping spread spectrum (TH-SS) technique. The adaptive filter used in rake-receiver structure was shown with adjusting the receiver tap weights using Euclidean Direction Search (EDS) algorithm to support the weak signals by noise cancellation. To minimize the data convergence speed and to reduce the computational complexity by the previous algorithms, a well-known approach of selective-updates (SU) adaptive filter was employed with algorithms, such as sequential-selective, periodic-selective, and M-max-selective in the proposed system. The simulation results of bit error rate (BER) versus signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are illustrated to show the performance of selective-update algorithm that has nearly comparable performance with the full update adaptive filters.

Electronic documentation management refers to the imaging documentation and document management technologies. In order to build a good electronic documentation management system, it is important to create a workflow for the process and follow up system (it also called e-tracking). This paper describes the workflow and follow up system in directorate of scholarship and cultural relations in Iraq. E-tracking provides a monitoring service on different section in this directorate. This research developed a workflow by discussing with main manager and some staff in this directorate. This study has two steps: first one is to make a follow up system (management system) in the Iraqi directorate of scholarship and cultural relations, which is the roadmap for creating a follow up system for this directorate in the future. Final step is the follow up system of this directorate. This tracking system provides more control on the work by keeping an eye on the staff in this directorate, and also it decreases the work process within short time. Finally, the main aim of this system to reduce the effort of doing the work and save the time.

Obstacle detection system (ODS) has become widely used as an assistive device for helping elderly and visually impaired people during their locomotion. Thus, the development of new ODS has evolved rapidly. In this paper, we discuss how an ODS with multiple sensors and multiple alarm modules can help the elderly to move around and minimize contact with obstacles along the pathway. Test results show that the system could control the intended warning signal (buzzer, vibrator or audio messages) within specific distance (within 0.4m to 1.5m from the user). Percentage difference between actual distance and measured one was less than 5%. The proposed system is easy to use and portable, and have wide application potentials due to flexibility in the design and software.

The vision of 21st century computing is that users can access Internet services over lightweight portable devices rather than via variants of the traditional desktop computer. Consequently, users will have no interest in large, powerful machines. How, then, will computing power be provided? The answer to this question lies in cloud computing. Cloud computing is a recent trend in IT in which computing power and knowledge are moved away from the desktop and desktop PCs into giant datacenters. In the cloud computing paradigm, applications are delivered as services over the Internet. The key driving forces behind cloud computing are the presence of broadband and wireless networking, falling storage prices, and progressive enhancements in Internet computing software packages. Cloud service shoppers can add additional capabilities at peak demand, reduce prices, experiment with new services, and remove unessential capabilities. Service suppliers can increase utilization via multiplexing and allow for larger investments in software packages and hardware.

Pulse amplitude and delay modulation technique “PADM” for power efficient indoor optical wireless communications is proposed in this paper. PADM symbol structure and other specifications were investigated and compared to existing power efficient modulation techniques like PPM, DPPM, DPIM and DH-PIM. Using mathematical model and simulation it was found that for the same size of input block PADM has better bandwidth efficiency by ~20% than other techniques, also two times higher transmission rate can be achieved when using same slot duration for all techniques, however the power efficiency still lower and need to be improved. It was found that using input block size M=3 provides the highest bandwidth efficiency versus best power requirements and thus considered as best input block sizes for this technique.

Water scarcity is one of the major problems faced by the whole world. In India, this situation is aggravated since agriculture is one of the major economies. As per the statistics of 2009, India has 35.12% of total land under irrigation. The objective of this work is to reduce the water usage in irrigation processes. In this regard, we have proposed a context aware wireless sensor network system for irrigation management. This multi-sensor system will continuously monitor the relevant environmental parameters, hydrological parameters, soil parameters and crop specific parameters to derive the context. These derived contexts will be used for automatic control and adaptation of the irrigation system. This context aware system uses the real-time sensor data to minimize the wastage of water used in the irrigation process. This research has also proposed an innovative design for horizontal angle adjustment of sprinkler nozzle using stepper motor. This remotely controllable sprinkler system can be wirelessly controlled, based on the decisions derived from the multi-sensors deployed in the agriculture field. The system also includes GSM module, which updates the user about the watering decisions being taken and executed on the fields. This paper describes the experimentation results of this system and it clearly shows that the system can effectively reduce water usage compared to the conventional systems.
