Cloud computing has become a popular approach for processing data and running computationally expensive services on a pay-as-you-go basis. Due to the ever-increasing requirement for cloud-based apps, appropriately allocating resources according to user requests while meeting service-level agreements between customers and service providers has become increasingly complex. An efficient and versatile resource allocation method is required to properly deploy these assets and meet user needs. The technique of distributing resources has become more arduous as user demand has increased. One of the key areas of research experts is how to design optimal solutions for this approach. In this paper, a literature review on proposed dynamic resource allocation approaches is introduced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Various machine learning algorithms are developed with an aim to create precise and trustworthy models and extract knowledge from data sources. Deep expertise in the field of machine learning is required for the challenging task of choosing the right algorithms for a specific dataset. There is no single algorithm that outperforms all others across all applications and different datasets. The difficulty of choosing an appropriate algorithm for a specific task in specific domain is related to the properties of the dataset. Properties of the dataset are measured through meta-features. Meta-features describe task and can provide explanation how one machine learning approach outperforms other algorithms on a given dataset. Learning about the effectiveness of learning algorithms, or meta-learning was developed to deal with this issue. Focus is required because previous research papers have not successfully identified meta-features in particular domains. In this research, we have evaluated various meta-feature characterization methodologies and have concentrated on basic meta-features. Business domain data is in the focus of this paper. We computed basic (general) meta-features and illustrated several use cases for their applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The sine and cosine algorithm has become a widely researched swarm optimization method in recent years due to its simplicity and effectiveness. Based on the advantages, the study in this paper delves deeper into the key parameters that influence the performance of the algorithm, and has implemented modifications such as integrating the reverse learning algorithm and adding elite opposition solution to create the modified Sine and Cosine Algorithm (the modified SCA). Furthermore, by combining the fuzzy k-nearest neighbor method with the modified SCA, the study simulates numeric datasets with two or multiple classes, and analyzes the results. The accuracy rate (ACC) achieved by the modified SCA FKNN in this paper is compared to other models, with data comparison results and tables presented for each. The modified SCA FKNN proposed in this paper has obvious advantages on accuracy rate(ACC). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an essential component in modern games. With AI, players can feel the challenges in the game and the game will feel more real. AI has several branches, one of which is path-finding. Pathfinding is a way of finding the shortest path between two points. The main problem in path-finding is how to perform a path-finding accurately and requires fewer computational resources (CPU and memory). This paper describes the results of research that tested the A* and Hierarchical Pathfinding A* algorithms using the Unity 3D platform and the C# programming language. The graph or space to be used is a graph with 8 branch nodes. While the benchmarks used are the path generated and the processing time of an algorithm. This paper results in a conclusion that the path generated by the A* algorithm is shorter than the Hierarchical Pathfinding A* algorithm. The number of paths processed for the A* algorithm is more than the Hierarchical Pathfinding A* algorithm. The total execution time of the A* Algorithm is smaller than that of the A* Hierarchical Pathfinding Algorithm. The Hierarchical Pathfinding A* algorithm experiences spikes in execution time more often than the A* algorithm. However, if the total spike time, the Hierarchical Algorithm is less than the A* Algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Twitter is known to be one of the familiar social networking platform these days, among many others, with a lot of user engagement. This microblogging site encourages social interactions, allowing users to stay up to date on the latest news and events and share them with others in real time. Tweets are limited to 280 characters and is allowed to include links to related websites and tools. With a platform having such wide reach, it is prone to be targeted negatively and spams are one way to do it. Spammers use this platform to display malicious content that is inappropriate and harmful to users worldwide. Machine Learning uses various approaches that can be used to detect spam and overcome it. However, with the advent of recent technologies it has been observed that the properties of tweets vary overtime making it difficult to detect spam leading to the "Twitter Spam Drift" problem. This paper reviews the papers published since 2018 that have focused on the spam drift problem and gives a comparative analysis of the different algorithms that are utilized on the various data sets to tackle such a problem.

The amount of available scientific literature is increasing, and studies have proposed various methods for evaluating document-document similarity in order to cluster or classify documents for science mapping and knowledge discovery. In this paper, we propose hybrid methods for bibliographic coupling (BC) and linear evaluation of text or content similarity: We combined BC with BM25, Cosine, and PMRA to compare their performances with single methods in paper recommendation tasks using TREC Genomics Track 2005datasets. For paper recommendation, BC and text-based methods complement each other, and hybrid methods were better than single methods. The combinations of BC with BM25 and BC with Cosine performed better than BC with PMRA. The performances were best when the weights of BM25, Cosine, and PMRA were 0.025, 0.2, and 0.2, respectively, in hybrid methods. For paper recommendation, the combinations of BC with text-based methods were better than BC or text-based methods used alone. The choice of method should depend on the actual data and research needs. In the future, the underlying reasons for the differences in performance and the specific part or type of information they complement in text clustering or recommendation need to be examined.

The steps of the research carried out include: data collection, data pre-processing, build algorithm models without using normalization and with using normalization, and final step are comparing algorithm performance before and after using normalization. The algorithms that will be used include: Random Forest, Decision Tree, Logistic Regression, SVM, Naive Bayes, and KNN. While the normalization methods used are Standard Scaler, Min-Max Scaler, and Robust Scaler. The result of this research is that the normalization method is able to significantly increase the accuracy of the model. Based on the tests and evaluations carried out, the normalization method using the Min-Max Scaler has the biggest impact in improving the overall model performance and the algorithm with the best performance is Random Forest. This paper reviews the effect of the normalization method to improve algorithm performance in predicting student performance, where based on previous research no one has used the normalization method to gain accuracy of the model which actually has a considerable impact on gaining accuracy of the model.

The paper examines the application of systematic and risk-based approaches to problem solving in the agro-industrial complex, which generally prompted research in the field of various model-based methodologies. Of particular interest to this study is the Quality by Design initiative in the agro-industrial complex. Motivated by their need, this paper reports some of the contributions to analysing the existence and availability of the experimental plan. The analysis of the feasibility and adaptation of the nested sampling algorithm for the probabilistic characteristics of the design space is considered. There is described an initial adaptation of the nested sampling algorithm, common for large Bayesian calculations, for the probabilistic characterization of spatial design, which is a key work for practitioners in the agro-industrial complex. The choice-based approach has been found to be effective with the optimization approach, allowing practitioners to take advantage of the choice-based approach with other methods. A step-by-step technology is given for complex and one-time implementations of the original nested sample for spatial design, which further reduces the computational load, thereby allowing solutions of more complex problems. Design-centring methodology is shown as an alternative coding method for methodological choice, providing the practitioner with a convenient format for communicating with process operators. A particular attention is paid to several pronounced problems that arise in the special design of experiments when there are various levels of model uncertainty, which are often encountered in the early stages of model development. The paper presents the results of the study obtained by developing optimal experimental queries in the presence of restrictions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper describes selection of the processor architecture for the external control block implementation in assembler. This block is used to control the operation of the main control system and improve the reliability of the system as a whole. A scheme for the considered method implementation with an external control unit on CPU instead of FPGA is proposed. The development of software for it is realized in assembler. Analysis of the architectures' peculiarities that are currently available on the market is carried out. They are x86 and x86-64 for CISC. ARM v8, ARM64, RISC-V, SPARC, and LEON are for RISC. The paper performs translation of decision-making algorithms in multiversion environments from the C++ language into the assembler of the necessary architectures. The size of the resulting code is analyzed. The authors made conclusions on the basis of the obtained results. It is preferable to select a CISC architecture, since it simplifies and speeds up a software development process in the case when it is required to develop a code in assembler. As for the scheme selection for the control system implementation with an external control unit, the authors prove that it is quite acceptable to apply a CPU for the external unit instead of the initially proposed FPGA.

Huge number of nodes of sensor make wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that not just gather data associated with various happenings but also submit those events to central station hop-by-hop. Data submitted through nodes of neighbor may be extra as well as duplicate. In addition, generated data number in wide WSNs might be a lot to be processed in sink. The most essential variable for gathering WSNs data is optimum energy usage to integrate also gather data. The accuracy of the information is usually assessed by detecting the error of the data contained in the CHs. This process helps increase the integrity and reliability of the WSN application. Basically, data identification is a classification issue. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is one of the most common classification approaches used in this paper to create an identification model. The SVM classification parameters will also be optimized by the Eurasian oystercatcher optimizer algorithm (EOO).

In this paper, logical controllers, their scope of application as a type of intelligent control and classification were considered. Precise logic controllers with a step-time algorithm for fuzzification of input parameters were also considered as an attempt to eliminate the main disadvantages of logic controllers with an anytime-algorithm. A logical scheme was given that implements the step-time algorithm for fuzzification of a continuous physical quantity and an analysis of expressions was carried out to increase the speed of the fuzzifier and controller with the step-time algorithm, respectively, due to the development of a system of production rules to a rule whose antecedent at the current time is equal to a logical unit, from which it is concluded that the speed of precise logical controllers with step-time algorithm has increased due to the lack of a search procedure in the system of production rules, rules with an antecedent, equal at a given time to a logical unit. Although in case of an unsuccessful arrangement of the rules in the fuzzifier production system (the rule with the highest response frequency is located at the end of the production system), the increase in the speed of the controller may be insignificant.

Given the importance of transportation in logistics operations, the vehicle routing problem (VRP) is critical to logistics practice. The Green Vehicle Routing Problem (GVRP) is a variation of the VRP that focuses on issues related to sustainable transportation. GVRP's goal is to balance the economy and environmental costs by developing effective solutions to environmental and financial concerns. The purpose of this paper is to propose a Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) to solve the GVRP. Using the benchmark test instance E-n23-k3, a numerical experiment is carried out to test the proposed algorithm. The results show that the SSA outperforms the Route Splitting Tabu Search (RS-TS). On average, the total cost is reduced by 1.41%. Furthermore, we show that the use of various modes of transportation affects fuel consumption, emission costs, and vehicle usage costs.

This paper describes in detail the method and algorithm for calculating the numerical integration of non-stationary two-dimensional systems of Navier-Stokes equations for a compressible gas using high-order implicit (explicit) difference schemes, i.e., the Beam-Warming difference scheme. A number of mathematical transformations, such as non-dimensionalization of coordinates and physical parameters, transforming the shape of the channel into a square one, as well as thickening the integration steps with large gradients of unknowns, which make it possible to bring problems to a model one for solving similar problems. In addition to the study, as convergence in the number of calculated points, the dependence of the number of iterations on the Courant number and comparison of the results obtained by different proposed models for calculating the effective viscosity, as well as a number of numerical studies as co-occurrence, temperature inhomogeneities, non-design, the ratio of the sizes of the inlet slots of cocurrent flows and the length of the channel to the height of the main flow and the degree of expansion of the channel to the process of mixing and distribution of flows in the channel. It was revealed at what ratios of the initial parameters of the cocurrent flows and the linear dimensions of the channel a recirculation zone is formed. For a channel of constant cross section at large ratios of velocities (72, 46) and temperature (2, 33), as well as small ratios of the channel length to the height of the inlet slot of the main flow (5, 31), even at the same jet pressures in the initial section, the recirculation zone occupies more than 55% of the input section, and the length along the longitudinal coordinate reaches 20 cm.

In the present paper algorithms for constructing a finite element mesh of compound domains and minimizing the ribbon width of the system of resolving equations by the finite element method (FEM) are considered. A technology for constructing a finite element mesh by connecting elementary subdomains, a semi-automatic method for partitioning a two-dimensional multiply connected domain with a curvilinear boundary, and ordering the node numbers of a finite element mesh is described. In this case, the algorithms allow, by ordering the numbering of nodes, to determine such a sequence in which the ribbon width of non-zero coefficients of the system of resolving equations by the FEM will be locally minimal.

Feature selection is an important technique in building prediction systems. In various searches, the judgment of the relevancy of a feature is often calculated using all the instances of the considered sample. However, when the dataset size grows, some of the instances are not useful for weighting the features. In this paper, we rank features according to a fitness function that relies on the relevancy using all instances and on the relevancy using a maximum number of significant instances (which really contribute to the feature positive relevancy with the target variable). The relevancy is based on preordonnances theory where the instances are expressed in pairs. The proposed algorithm can be mainly divided into three steps, namely, (a) eliminating all features that are in disagree with the target feature, (b) Finding the best subset of instances, to each feature, that maximize the relevancy and which the cardinal tends to the cardinal of instances in the original dataset, and (c) Ranking features. The second step is defined by dividing the dataset (instances of each feature) into several consistent regions by fuzzy clustering. Then, performing GA-based instances selection independently within each cluster. Finally, aggregating of the partial results by the ensemble voting. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Uncertainties, parameters variations and external disturbances may affect highly the task of lane-keeping, lane-changing and path-tacking autonomous vehicles. This paper presents a novel variable gains second-order sliding mode algorithm for en-hanced path tracking performance of autonomous vehicles subject to uncertainties and disturbances. The used algorithm is a modified super-twisting with both nonlinear and linear correction terms. Hence, the proposed method doesn't suffer from the chattering phenomenon, ensures high order precision and guarantees both the robustness against perturbations and the convergence in finite-time during the reaching phase. To evaluate the efficiency of the developed approach, a double lane-changing scenario is considered in simulation for an uncertain autonomous vehicle and the results are compared with the first-order sliding mode.

Path planning algorithms is the most significant area in the robotics field. Path Planning (PP) can be defined as the process of determining the most appropriate navigation path before a mobile robot moves. The goal of optimization of PP is to find a path that is close to or optimal path. Multi-objective optimization (MOO) is concerned with finding the best solution values that satisfy multiple objectives, such as shortness, smoothness, and safety. MOO present the challenge of making decisions while balancing these contradictory issues through compromise (tradeoff). As a result, there is no single solution appropriate for all purposes in MOO, but rather a range of solutions. This paper the problem of PP is investigated with path length, security and smoothness objectives for autonomous mobile robots in dynamic environment with moving target. The proposed approach based on Bat algorithm (BA). The proposed solution is tested in a number of simulations with varying scenarios. The simulation results show that multi objective can be achieved efficiently in a dynamic environment which proves its effectiveness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The software testing process is not only important but also a complex stage SDLC (software development life cycle) process. For estimating the activities of the system in the software testing stage testers implement test scenarios as input for the system under test (SUT). For improving the superiority of the system and also finding faults implementing test-cases shows an energetic role. Our research work target towards implementation of test cases automatically by combinational Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagram so that it can display higher effectiveness in starting phase of the system development procedure of model-based testing. This research uses UML diagrams like Use Case Diagram (UCD), Activity Diagram (AD), and a combination of both generates System Testing Graph (STG). The combination of these two diagrams has been proved as the well-suited diagrams to implement test cases from the earlier combination graphs. Our technique suggested in this research paper is Uniformed Graph Traversing (UGT) Algorithm that is combined with Level Order Traversal (LOT) Algorithm to implement predictable test scenarios. In this research paper, we prove that the UGT algorithm is useful to implement test scenarios, and also these test scenarios are providing precise outcomes; each vertex existing in the test scenarios includes some situation. In this proposed approach we also disclose faults for example decision fault, fault of dependency, interaction fault, and loop fault which results in assessment effort reduction. The implemented test scenarios are directed to one requests controlling tool which can be in contradiction of the requests. It also protects time period and work and also, raises the value of implemented test scenarios, thus enhances the complete routine in a testing phase. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Knowledge management system (KMS) is a method that can help companies manage knowledge assets within the company. A KMS in addition to being able to manage knowledge assets is also expected to be safe from unauthorized parties, easily accessible when needed and become a place for sharing knowledge for employees in the company. In its application, the documentation of knowledge which is the result of employee training at PT X still uses paper. So, when the company wants to implement knowledge sharing, it will be hampered because it is difficult to distribute paper documents to all employees. Based on this, the authors designed a website-based KMS. The KMS design in the modeling uses UML and the implementation uses the php and MySQL programming languages with the help of the Laravel framework and the SAW algorithm. This KMS is equipped with features that make it easier for the Company to implement knowledge sharing. The results of this KMS design, produce a system that has been tested using black box testing resulting in a 100% tested success percentage and user acceptance test testing that is tested on four assessment criteria with an average user satisfaction percentage of 82% and includes good criteria.

The paper investigates images of textures with a defect, characterized by a sufficiently prominent structure. A procedure for detecting a defect in a textured image using an intellectual procedure for assessing the similarity of different parts of the tested image scanned with a sliding window is proposed. It is assumed that an area of the image that contains a defect in whole or in part will be the least similar to the other areas considered. To assess the similarity of images in the paper, the previously proposed measures are used, built on the basis of the values of the components and the magnitude of the gradient, considered as a sample from a random variable with the Weibull distribution. The effectiveness of the proposed methods is demonstrated by experimental investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Decisions made in the concept generation phase have a significant effect on the product. While product- related risks typically can be considered in the early stages of design, risks such as supply chain and manufacturing methods are rarely easy to account for in early phases. This is because the currently available methods require mature data, which may not be available during concept generation. In this paper, we propose an approach to address this. First, the product and the non-product (manufacturing and/or supply chain) attributes are modelled using the enhanced function means (EF-M) modelling method. The EF-M method provides the opportunity to model alternative solutions-set for functions. Dependencies are then mapped within the product and the manufacturing models, and also in between them. An automatic combinatorial method of concept generation is employed where each generated instance is a design concept-manufacturing method pair. A risk propagation algorithm is then used to assess the risks of all the generated alternatives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Absolute value detectors implement a widely used spike-detection algorism called absolute value detection. 4-bit absolute value detectors are extensively used in computer storage and acquiring neural signals. As a basic logic component, there's a rising demand for low energy cost and high working frequency. This paper performed a series of optimizations to the conventional design. A traditional absolute value finder is composed of an absolute value finder using ripple-carry adder and multiplexer, and a comparator. In this paper, both parts are redesigned with static-CMOS logic and transmission gate logic (TGL) to shorten critical path. After the circuit topology is determined, two methods are used to control delay and power consumption: sizing logic gates and adjusting supply voltage. A technique called logic effort is used to derive the delay of critical path. By using a linear programming solver, three sets of parameters are found, in which 38.59-unit delay, 52.75-unit energy cost is a balanced design, with the lowest EDP (Energy delay product).

The field of robotics research has been well developed with the combination of computers and machinery. With the advancement of artificial intelligence, mobile robots are also attracting more attention today, and path planning is a crucial foundational technology for mobile robots to complete transportation requirements and reach pertinent target areas. In an efficiency-conscious society, the single-goal planning of transmission is gradually failing to meet the needs of enterprises and factories for efficient operations, path planning that can simultaneously plan the optimal methods and reach many target points is increasingly replacing the conventional single-goal path planning. However, there are more factors to be considered in the real complex environment to face various complex road conditions, and for this reason, various single or hybrid algorithms are being optimized and solved for this kind of problem. This paper summarizes the main methods of path planning to simulate the scale of obstacles and environmental scene maps in various conditions, focusing on several basic algorithms and their hybrid algorithms for solving multi-objective path planning problems in global and local path planning, as well as their improvements and innovations on the basic algorithms. This paper's primary idea is to divide the multi-path planning process into various components and substitute each part into a suitable algorithm and model to solve it separately to accomplish the task of reaching multiple target points efficiently.

In order to make the auxiliary training ball picking robot pick up the ball efficiently, the path planning of the ball picking robot is needed. The traditional A-star algorithm can be applied to project the trajectory of the mobile robot under the motion model, but there are problems of general obstacle avoidance and insufficient accuracy of obstacle avoidance, based on the characteristics of iteration of the colony algorithm to improve the accuracy of the algorithm. This paper proposes an approach to make the A* algorithm iterative to improve the ability of the algorithm to perform path planning. Compared with the separate A* and colony algorithms, the algorithm in this paper is more accurate and efficient in handling complex routes. It is also paired with object recognition and grasping functions to achieve the function of identifying basketballs, grasping them and transporting them back to the players for the ball pickup robot. In the final Matlab simulation experiments, the effectiveness of target recognition, object grasping, and optimized path recognition is verified. Among them, the optimization algorithm of A* shortens the length of the path by 28% after 40 iterations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In their highest grade, brain tumors are the most widespread and dangerous diseases with a very short life span. Therefore, early automatic brain tumor detection is required to lower the fatality rate. Due to this, MRI is a commonly used imaging technology for diagnosis; however, it is practically impossible to do manual segmentation of the volume of data generated by MRI promptly. This paper is intended to analyze the suitable tools, techniques and language for automatic detection of Brain Tumor. From the nature of the problem, it is quite evident that it requires high precision of accuracy in detecting such a deadly disease in a very short period and if possible, in real-time, for a large number of datasets will be required not only to train the algorithm but also for its testing. Spark is an open-source platform to deal with lots of data. Spark's API, PySpark is coupled with Python language to enable the developers to develop a python script for the Spark processing engine. Deep learning algorithms are the most useful and appropriate for such types of tasks where a large amount of data is involved and requires high precision training and testing of the models and the algorithms. In this paper, we have discussed the selection of the tools, techniques and language for the implementation of the model for detecting the brain tumor. Tools like Google Colab and PySpark have been explored in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abnormality location frameworks conveyed for checking in oil and gas ventures are generally WSN based frameworks or SCADA frameworks which all experience the ill effects of significant impediments. WSN based frameworks are not homogenous or contradictory frameworks. They need facilitated correspondence and straightforwardness among districts and cycles. Then again, SCADA frameworks are costly, unyielding, not versatile, and furnish information with a long postponement. In this paper, a novel IoT based engineering is proposed for Oil and gas businesses to make information assortment from associated objects as straightforward, secure, hearty, solid and speedy. This paper audits and examinations recurrence and outcomes of disappointment rates for inward and outside consumption, human activity and normal powers are dissected and the normal disappointment rate for every disappointment instrument in oil pipeline transport frameworks. Verifiable information on results of the unplanned loss of regulation of inland pipelines are evaluated. To stay away from this event, designs for the most part do pressure transient investigation in the water powered plan period of pipeline network frameworks. Demonstrating and reproduction of homeless people in pipelines is an adequate and savvy technique for evaluating this issue and discovering specialized arrangements. Qualities and restrictions of different discovery and control procedures with some down to earth models are examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper is devoted to the modernization of the previously developed algorithm for detecting pulses in geoacoustic signals against a background of noise. The algorithm is implemented as a computer program. Geoacoustic signals are recorded in Mikizha Lake in Kamchatka using a combined receiver. The receiver simultaneously records acoustic pressure and three orthogonal components of its gradient at a point in the medium. From the registered signals, an input data series is formed in various ways for further processing by the program. The paper proposes a new way of forming the input series based on the Umov–Poynting vector. The improved algorithm detects hundreds of times more pulses in highly noisy signals. This increases the accuracy of determining the direction to their sources. Detailed histograms of the spatial location of geoacoustic emission sources are constructed. Note that the algorithm can be applied to pulsed acoustic signals only if they are registered by a combined receiver, i.e, the values of pressure and its gradient at the point of the medium under study must be known simultaneously.

Palm oil is an important commodity for Indonesia. Therefore, oil palm cultivation is a supporter of the success of oil palm commodities in producing products. The harvesting process is an activity that must be considered because it affects the production and quality of oil palm fresh fruit bunches. For this reason, the sorting of oil palm fresh fruit bunches is very important. This paper tries to classify the maturity level of oil palm fresh fruit bunches through image management using the Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) algorithm. LDA algorithm is an approach used to classify data into several classes. The steps taken in this paper are starting with the transformation of the color space from RGB images to L*a*b images, then image segmentation with thresholding and feature extraction with HSV. Image transformation to HSV aims to make it easier to classify image characteristics based on hue and saturation. Furthermore, the LDA algorithm will perform a dispersion matrix analysis in order to obtain optimal projections to enter into spaces to look for patterns that can be separated. This paper finds that the classification of oil palm fresh fruit bunches image processing using the LDA algorithm produces an accuracy rate of 85%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Internet of things (IoT) has become an easy target. As there are numerous devices, management is hard and security problems arise. There are various encryption algorithms to provide the security of data on an IoT device. One of the encryption algorithms that is used for IoT devices is the AES algorithm. Although the AES algorithm is not a lightweight algorithm, it can effectively be used to protect the data of IoT devices. In this paper, a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module is used as an IoT device. The AES algorithm is used to encrypt the data that is generated on the BLE device. There are two options for encryption: hardware-based encryption and software-based one. The aim of the paper is to show the hardware implementation efficiency of the AES algorithm on an IoT device by comparing it with software implementation. As a result, the hardware implementation of the AES algorithm is efficient when using the proper hardware infrastructure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although paper-based transmission of medical information might seem outdated, it has proven efficient, and remains structurally safe from massive data leaks. As part of the ICIPEMIR project for improving medical imaging report, we explored the idea of structured data storage within a medical report, by embedding the data themselves in a QR-Code (and no URL-to-the-data). Three different datasets from ICIPEMIR were serialized, then encoded in a QR-Code. We compared 4 compression algorithms to reduce file size before QR-Encoding. YAML was the most concise format (character sparing), and allowed for embedding of a 2633-character serialized file within a QR-Code. The best compression rate was obtained with gzip, with a compression ratio of 2.32 in 15.7ms. Data were easily extracted and decompressed from a digital QR-Code using a simple command line. YAML file was also successfully recovered from the printed QR-Code with both Android and iOS smartphone. Minimal detected size was 3*3cm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
