Joint Content Valuations and Proactive Caching for Content Distribution Networks

Due to the advances in machine learning techniques, recommender systems nowadays are capable of learning and influencing the users' decisions. Hence, recommendations became an important facility to reduce the cost (or increase the profit) of the operators of the demand networks. In this paper we formulate and study the problem of dynamically optimizing the demand shaping, through content recommendation, and proactive caching. The formulated problem suffers from the curse of dimensionality, so we devise an approximate algorithm optimizing only over a short look-ahead window. The approximate

A Probabilistic City Model Generation for Application in Internet of Vehicles Technology

As the main pillar of the Smart City, Smart Highway manifests the centralized connectivity concept between the self-driving vehicles. Internet of Vehicle or IoV is the solution for improved connectivity between driverless vehicles. One of the major challenges in IoV research is the lack of datasets available. That is why the Internet of vehicles is one of the hot topics in research nowadays. IoV field is still a new topic in research, which leaves a huge shortage in the datasets available to train any Artificial Intelligent (AI) model for IoV systems. IoV systems have many research points such

Smart cloud platform for data management in the age of the internet of vehicles

Smart cars, with the emergence of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), are expected to generate huge volumes of data at rates that typical data management systems will not be able to handle. Such data can be extremely useful to both analytics and machine learning applications. This paper discusses and demonstrates the process of architecting and building a scalable data management system for the IoV in a smart city environment, using Apache Spark, Apache Kafka and Apache Cassandra, which results in a scalable, resilient and fault-Tolerant data management system that facilitates performing big data

A Preprocessing Approach to Improve the Performance of Inception v3-based Face Shape Classification

Face shape classification is considered one of the trending topics in the artificial intelligence research field. Face shape classification can be employed in many broad-scoped projects, such as hairstyle recommendation systems in the beauty and fashion industry. In this paper, the inception v3 model was employed to reach the highest possible performance for classifying the different face shapes. The model was re-trained after applying a proposed sequence of preprocessing techniques, including image straightening, cropping, resizing, and normalization. The model was re-trained on different

An optimized ensemble model for prediction the bandwidth of metamaterial antenna

Metamaterial Antenna is a special class of antennas that uses metamaterial to enhance their performance. Antenna size affects the quality factor and the radiation loss of the antenna. Metamaterial antennas can overcome the limitation of bandwidth for small antennas.Machine learning (ML)model is recently applied to predict antenna parameters.ML can be used as an alternative approach to the trial-and-error process of finding proper parameters of the simulated antenna. The accuracy of the prediction depends mainly on the selected model. Ensemble models combine two or more base models to produce a

Role of Artificial Intelligence in Diagnosis of Covid-19 Using CT-Scan

Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) have been broadly used in our daily lives in different ways. Early detection of COVID-19 built on chest Computerized tomography CT empowers suitable management of patients and helps control the spread of the disease. We projected an artificial intelligence (AI) system for rapid COVID-19 detection using analysis of CTs of COVID-19 depending on the AI system. We developed and evaluated our system on a large dataset with more than 3000 CT volumes from COVID-19, viral community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and non-pneumonia subjects—1601 positive cases

Chaos-Based RNG using Semiconductor Lasers with Parameters Variation Tolerance

Random numbers play an essential role in guaranteeing secrecy in most cryptographic systems. A chaotic optical signal is exploited to achieve high-speed random numbers. It could be generated by using one or more semiconductor lasers with external optical feedback. However, this system faces two major issues, high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) and parameter variations. These issues highly affected the randomness of the generated bitstreams. In this paper, we use a non-linear compression technique to compand the generated signal before it is quantized to avoid the effects of the PAPR. Also

Guava Trees Disease Monitoring Using the Integration of Machine Learning and Predictive Analytics

The increase in population, food demand, and the pollution levels of the environment are considered major problems of this era. For these reasons, the traditional ways of farming are no longer suitable for early and accurate detection of biotic stress. Recently, precision agriculture has been extensively used as a potential solution for the aforementioned problems using high resolution optical sensors and data analysis methods that are able to cope with the resolution, size and complexity of the signals from these sensors. In this paper, several methods of machine learning have been utilized

Optimal Power Consumption on Distributed Edge Services Under Non-Uniform Traffic with Dual Threshold Sleep/Active Control

Mobile edge computing (MEC) is a key enabling technology for supporting high-speed and low latency services in the fifth generation (5G) and beyond networks. MEC paradigm moves computational resources from centralized cloud servers towards the edge of the network, nearer to the users. However, edge computation resources increase the power consumption of the network. Moreover, the non-uniform traffic load on the edge servers causes resources to be underutilized and decrease the system's power efficiency. To achieve the green networking concept encouraged in 5G and beyond networks, unused MEC

Hybrid NOMA-based ACO-FBMC/OQAM for next-generation indoor optical wireless communications using LiFi technology

Light fidelity (LiFi) has successfully achieved high data transfer rates, high security, great availability, and low interference. In this paper, we propose a LiFi system consisting of a combination of non-orthogonal multi-access (NOMA), asymmetrically-clipped optical (ACO), and filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) techniques combined with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OQAM). The paper also applies a μ-law companding approach for a high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) reduction of the FBMC/OQAM scheme. The combination of NOMA, ACO-FBMC/OQAM, and μ-law companding allows a significant
