Ant colony Optimization is a nature-inspired meta-heuristic optimization algorithm that gained a great interest in resolution of combinatorial and numerical optimization problems in many science and engineering domains. The aim of this work was to investigate the use of Ant Colony Optimization in cryptanalysis of Simplified Advanced Encryption Standard (S-AES), using a known plaintext attack. We have defined the essential components of our algorithm such as heuristic value, fitness function and the strategy to update pheromone trails. It is shown from the experimental results that our proposed algorithm allow us to break S-AES cryptosystem after exploring a minimum search space when compared with others techniques and requiring only two plaintext-ciphertext pairs.

Smart Grids (SG) have emerged as a remedy for the constantly increasing demand on energy. Control is and will continue to be the most crucial element in a SG. The integration of renewable energies and smart devices opened the door for many controllers to be used in order to help fulfill the objectives of SGs. These controllers are used to control and monitor the energy produced by the renewable sources, the energy consumed by the different loads and appliances, and the energy flow between the electrical grid, the storage module, and the produced energy. In this paper, we are presenting an architecture of a real-world SG featuring the NI CompactRIO controller. The SG is deployed in a university campus as a testbed. We are also describing a control algorithm based on a state machine deployed in the NI CompactRIO controller using the LabVIEW programing language.

In most of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications, it is important to associate each event’s information with its location’s information. If sensors are accurately located, the identified event (e.g., fire, accident) could be of most important in order to figure out and understand the context or situation. However, sensors localization is still an important issue in order to develop context-driven applications. This paper introduces a new scheme for sensor nodes localization in three-dimensional WSNs, denoted 3DeDV-Hop. We have implemented both algorithms the 3DeDV-Hop and 3DDV-Hop in OMNET++, and studied their performance in three dimensional wireless sensor networks. Simulation results show that the 3DeDV-Hop outperforms the basic 3DDV-Hop localization algorithm in terms of localization accuracy and the number of localized nodes.

The integration of renewable energy sources (RES) was amplified, during the past decades, in order to tackle the challenges related to energy demands and CO2 increases. Recently, many initiatives have been taken by promoting the deployment and the usage of micro-grids (MG) in buildings, as decentralized systems, for energy production. However, the variable nature of RESs and the limited size of energy storage systems require the deployment of adaptive control strategies for efficient energy balance. In this paper, a generalized predictive control (GPC) strategy is introduced for energy management (EM) in MG systems. Its main objective is to efficiently connect the electricity generators and consumers in order to predict the most suitable actions for energy flow management. In fact, based on energy production and consumption profiles as well as the availability of energy storage systems, the proposed EM will be able to select the best suitable energy source for supplying the building’s loads. It will efficiently manage the usage of energy storage and the utility grid while maximizing RESs power generation. Simulations have been conducted, using real-sitting scenarios, and results are presented to validate the proposed predictive control approach by showing its effectiveness for MG systems control.

Batteries have shown great potential for being integrated in Micro-Grid (MG) systems. However, their integration is not a trivial task and, therefore, requires extensive modeling and simulations in order to efficiently estimating their State-of-Charge (SoC) within MG systems. The work presented in this article focuses mainly on battery modeling for SoC estimation. We put more emphasize on battery system's characterization, modeling, SoC estimation and its integration into MG systems in order to study its performance. In fact, an instrumentation platform, composed of recent and low cost sensing and actuating equipment, is developed in order to identify the battery's parameters and then build the battery model. The simulation results show good agreement with the experimental results, and thus the battery model is validated in both charging and discharging processes. Then, the battery's SoC estimation in both charging and discharging processes is investigated by means of sophisticated methods, such as, Artificial Neural Network, Luenberger observer and Kalman Filter combined with Coulomb counting. The results of these methods are reported and compared to the SoC estimated using the Coulomb counting method in order to end up with the precise method. The modeled battery is afterwards integrated into an MG system, which is deployed into our EEBLab (Energy Efficient Building Laboratory) test-site, for simulation and experimental investigations. Finally, the four algorithms for SoC estimation are included into the instrumentation platform, which is connected to a Lead-acid battery already integrated into the MG system, in order to show and compare their performances and accuracy for online battery's SoC estimation.

The search for new fuels to supersede fossil fuels has been intensified these recent decades. Among these fuels, hydrogen has attracted much interest due to its advantages, mainly cleanliness and availability. It can be produced from various raw materials (e.g., water, biomass) using many resources, mainly water electrolysis and natural gas reforming. However, water electrolysis combined with renewable energy sources is the cleanest way to produce hydrogen while reducing greenhouse gases. Besides, hydrogen can be used by fuel cells for producing both electrical and thermal energy. The aim of this work was towards efficient integration of this system into energy efficient buildings. The system is comprised of a photovoltaic system, hydrogen electrolyzer, and proton exchange membrane fuel cell operating as a cogeneration system to provide the building with both electricity and thermal energy. The system&rsquo, s modeling, simulations, and experimentations were first conducted over a short-run period to assess the system&rsquo, s performance. Reported results show the models&rsquo, accuracy in analyzing the system&rsquo, s performance. We then used the developed models for long-run testing of the hybrid system. Accordingly, the system&rsquo, s electrical efficiency was almost 32%. Its overall efficiency reached 64.5% when taking into account both produced electricity and thermal energy.

M G systems integrate renewable energy sources (RES) together with storage devices for being connected to the traditional electrical grid in order to supply the power to the building's loads. However, management and control approaches are required for seamless integration of these systems in energy efficient buildings. In this paper, a model predictive control approach is introduced for efficient MG operation. The proposed approach allows minimizing the usage of the traditional electric grid for supplying the power to the building's loads by using as much as possible the power generated by RES while optimizing the storage devices operations. A model predictive control (MPC) strategy is proposed in order to balance the power flow in MG system. The deployed strategy controls the charge/discharge current of the battery depending on RES production, and load consumption variability. Simulations have been conducted using real dataset generated from our deployed MG system, and preliminary results show the usefulness of predictive control principles for the efficient operation of MG systems.

Ant Colony Optimization is a search meta-heuristic inspired by the foraging behavior of real ant, having a very wide applicability. Especially, it can be applied to different combinatorial optimization problem. In this paper, we present a novel Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based attack for cryptanalysis of Simplified Data Standard Encryption (S-DES). A known Plaintext attack is used to recover the secret key requiring only two Plaintext-Ciphertext pairs. Moreover, our approach allows us to break S-DES encryption system in a minimum search space when compared with other techniques. Experimental results prove that ACO can be considered as a convincing tool to attack the key used in S-DES.

This work presents methodology and results used to estimate both wind and solar energies availability and their cost. The objective is to analyze the potential of these two major sources of alternative energy in Tangier region and to show their ability to replace fossil fuel energy sources especially for remote areas and agriculture applications. Thus, energy availability and its cost for these technologies are determined based on meteorological data, and their engineering and technical characteristics. The obtained results provide the hourly average energy production (in kWh) and its cost (in USD/kWh) for a maximum designed power output of 5 kW for each technology and for each month in the year. Thus, these results show that energy production cost is ranging between 0.01 and 0.3 USD/kWh for solar energy using photovoltaic panels and it is ranging between 0.05 and 0.35 USD/kWh for wind energy using wind turbines with rated power equals to 1 kW. Results of this work could be used as data estimation reference for engineering and research works related to renewable energy applications in the studied region.

Smart Grids (SG) are emerging as a very promising technology meant to cope with the stringent worldwide demand on energy and on relevant ecologic measures. At the heart of the Smart Grids lie Smart Buildings (SB). SB are the building blocks of SG. Either residential or industrial, SBs are consuming most of the produced electrical energy. However, and in the context of SG, SBs are meant to produce energy as well and contribute to stabilizing the Demand/Response (DR) variance whereby produced energy is injected back into the SG. This occurs mainly in case of energy shortage in the main SG or in case of excess in energy production. To leverage “smartness” in buildings, continuous data monitoring (e.g., energy production/consumption levels) using wireless sensors, and real-time dissemination/processing of this data, is essential. To further boost buildings’ smartness, deploying context-awareness, whereby electrical appliances can be switched On/Off depending on context (e.g., presence and ambient temperature), would bring considerable added-value. In this paper, a blueprint for deploying a real-world SB testbed is presented.

Renewable energy sources (RES) have been promoted to overcome environmental constraints as well as the scarcity of fossil energy sources. In fact, many initiatives have been deployed by integrating these sources (e.g. Photovoltaic panel, Wind, Fuel cell...) in order to increase energy efficiency (i.e., electricity production) in buildings while limiting CO 2 emissions. In parallel to this development, micro-grids have emerged as decentralized systems to allow connecting different decentralized sources in which buildings become active electricity producers in addition to the main traditional electric grid. However, a smarter demand response management system is required to efficiently balancing the energy production, storage, and the electricity consumption. In this paper, a demand/response control approach is introduced by integrating into a holistic platform different RES together with storage devices for supplying electricity to buildings equipment (e.g. ventilation system, lighting…). A prototype was developed and deployed in our EEBLab for experiments and real-testing. Preliminary experimental results are reported and show the usefulness of the proposed holistic approach.

In the last couple of years, the use of renewable energies, mainly photovoltaic and wind, and their integration into Smart Grids (SG), has become more appealing. Renewable Energies reduce electrical energy production cost while promoting ecological measures. Micro-grids (MG), and distributed energy resources (DER), are gaining further momentum around the world as the main building blocks of SG. MG are meant to reduce the deployment and management complexity of SG by adopting a divide and conquer approach whereby SG are mainly reduced into a set of MGs. At the MG level, energy-efficiency can be further boosted via the minimization of energy loss (e.g., during power transmission) and via real-time tracking of energy production and consumption at the level of electrical appliances in order to optimize the Demand/Response (DR) variability. In this paper, we highlight issues related to real-world micro-grid deployment in a university campus. We mainly focus on profiling energy usage in campus buildings, setting power distribution system architecture, and pinpointing key micro-grid components. We propose a general MG testbed and simulate the operation of proposed MG model/architecture. We delineate relevant pros and cons towards a futuristic real-world/physical MG deployment in a university campus.

Geographic routing protocols have been developed to increase the effectiveness and the usefulness of wireless sensor networks in many emerging applications. In these protocols, the routing decision, at each sensor node, is based only on the positions of the destination node and forwarding node's neighbors. However, these protocols are based on exact sensors position, assuming that sensors are equipped with a geographic positioning or a localization-based technique. Recently, several techniques, such DV-Hop, have been proposed for estimating sensors' positions. This paper introduces an integrated geographic routing protocol by integrating both sensors' position estimation and geographic routing techniques. We have mainly combined DV-Hop for estimating sensors position and the greedy perimeter stateless protocol for data forwarding and routing. Simulations have been carried out and results are reported to show the efficiency of the proposed hybrid geographic routing protocol in WSNs.

Ant Colony Optimization is a search meta-heuristic inspired by the behavior of real ant colonies and shown their effectiveness, robustness to solve a wide variety of complex problems. In this paper, we present a novel Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based attack for cryptanalysis of Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSR). A known plaintext attack is used to discover the primitive polynomial used in the LFSR. Moreover, our approach allows us to find a linear equivalence of a given key stream through finding the feedback function. Experimental results prove that ACO can be used as an effective tool to break LFSR.

The intermittent nature and overwhelming variability of the produced electricity from renewable energy sources (RES) constitutes the main challenge for their seamless integration into buildings. Recent studies stated that storage devises, despite their actual high cost, could be used to tackle this issue by balancing the intermittent nature of RES production and the unpredictable building's occupancy. In fact, these storage devises could handle this issue, which is very complex without taking into consideration actual occupancy and environmental context. This paper introduces a demand/response control approach by mainly focusing on micro-grid systems, which are composed of PVs, batteries, and buildings equipment (e.g., ventilation system, lighting, BVAC). A prototype was developed and deployed in a real-setting scenario at our EEBLAB. Experimentations have been performed and results show the usefulness of the proposed control approach for micro-grid systems.

Ant Colony Optimization is a search metaheuristic inspired by the behavior of real ant colonies and shown their effectiveness, robustness to solve a wide variety of complex problems. In this paper, we present a novel Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based attack for cryptanalysis of knapsack cipher algorithm. A Cipher-text only attack is used to discover the plaintext from the cipher-text. Moreover, our approach allows us to break knapsack cryptosystem in a minimum search space when compared with other techniques. Experimental results prove that ACO can be used as an effective tool to attack knapsack cipher.

Renewable energy sources (RES) have been largely deployed as green energy producers in order to reduce power consumption while minimizing greenhouse emissions. However, the intermittent nature of RES (e.g., Solar Energy) must be addressed in order to allow their large scale integration in buildings. Standalone PV systems are generally installed in remote and rural regions since they are not connected to the electrical grid. They use mainly storage devices (e.g., batteries) to store produced/extra solar energy during the day for eventual usage at night. Recently, there have been enormous deployments of grid-connected photovoltaic systems, which use solar panels connected to the electricity grid for producing and feeding extra electricity back to the grid. They are also being able to supply electricity to the load when there is no production. In this paper, we are talking the research question aiming at selecting the suitable dimensions for energy production (PV system). We have, therefore, developed a model for each component of the PV system. A grid-connected PV system is sized, modeled and analyzed according to a dedicated consumption profile. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed dimensioning model.

The solar or the Photovoltaic (PV) systems have been developed in the past few years as renewable energy sources in order to reduce power consumption while minimizing greenhouse emissions. However, getting the maximum power output in every type of environmental and climatic circumstances is of most importance and requires efficient modeling and extensive experimental studies. In this work, we present a modeling and experimental study of photovoltaic systems. The developed model uses weather conditions in order to produce the current and the voltage that are required to compute the produced power. Simulations have been conducted to first study the effect of irradiance and temperature on the PVs production. A testbed system was deployed to perform experiments in order to study the effectiveness and the accuracy of the proposed modeling approach in real-setting scenarios.

Context-awareness is crucial for leveraging energy-efficient buildings by developing intelligent control approaches in which sensing and actuation tasks are performed according to the contextual changes. This could be done by including the users' actions and behaviours in up-to-date context taking into account the complex interlinked elements, situations, processes, and their dynamics. In this paper, we introduce a holistic platform that integrates recent sensing/actuating and Big data technologies for monitoring and data processing. The main aim is to develop context-driven control approaches whereby energy consumption, production, and storage could be controlled according to actual situations (e.g., occupancy, occupant behaviour patterns, energy production patterns, and weather data). A platform prototype was deployed in our university test site. Experiments have been conducted and preliminary results show the usefulness of this holistic platform for monitoring and data processing in energy efficient buildings.

In this paper, we present a novel Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based attack for cryptanalysis of a simple substitution Cipher. A known only cipher text attack is used to recovering the key based on the letter frequency language, a new algorithm is introduced with a Fitness Function that have a good correlation with the number of key elements recovered. Our approach shows promising results when compared with other techniques.

Micro-Grid (MG) systems have been extensively studied and deployed to lower the power consumption while reducing the greenhouse gas emissions. Although, the challenge with Renewable Energy Sources (RES) is their uncertain and intermittent nature, things that led the researchers to think about integrating storage devices, especially batteries, into MG systems. The main aim is to store the excess of produced energy for further usage when not enough energy is available. Nevertheless, batteries modeling and characterization is mandatory to identify their parameters and study their performance within MG systems. Moreover, in order to continuously supply electricity to the building, it is required to figure out the optimum size of energy production systems and storage devices. This paper introduces a methodology for MG modeling and performance evaluation. Its main contribution is twofold, i) battery’s parameters identification, and ii) modeling and dimensioning method for both standalone and MG systems. An instrumentation platform, composed of recent sensing and actuating equipment, for MG energy management and battery characterization is developed. Simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

Wireless nano sensors networks (WNSN) have emerged recently to allow nanonodes to communicate to each other using nano-communication mechanisms. Nanodevices are characterized by limited resources, and new communication protocols are, therefore, required. For instance, the flooding mechanism has been proposed for broadcasting in electromagnetic-based WNSNs. While the flooding scheme is very simple, the excessive number of rebroadcasts increases the utilization of the resources that affects the performance and increases the energy consumption. In this paper, we adopt the probabilistic-based broadcasting mechanism in the context of WNSNs. Simulations have been conducted using Nanosim and results show that probabilistic-based flooding mechanism reduces redundant retransmissions while maintaining good performance.

The Numeral features extraction consists of transforming the image into an attribute vector, which contains a set of discriminated characteristics for recognition, and also reducing the amount of information supplied to the system. Several characteristic extractions methods have been proposed in the literature. These characteristics can be digital or symbolic. Mainly, we distinguish two approaches, statistical and structural. In this paper, we are interested in a comparative study of these four methods: profile projection, zoning, cavities and freeman chain code. Digit recognition is carried out in this work through k nearest neighbors. We evaluated our scheme on handwritten samples of the MNIST database and we have achieved very promising results.

With rapid advances in nanotechnologies, Wireless Nanosensor Networks (WNSNs) have been emerged as a typical subclass of WSNs but at nano-scale. WNSN is a new communication fabric that allows nanonodes to connect to each other using new mechanisms such as molecular (or chemical) and electromagnetic. Unlike traditional WSNs, nanonodes are tiny with limited resources (e.g., computation, memory and energy) and therefore, are not able to communicate with the destination node using a single-hop scenario. The flooding mechanism, in which each node rebroadcasts the message once, was adopted for broadcasting in electromagnetic-based WNSNs. While the flooding mechanism is very simple, it is not efficient since most of the nanonodes are expected to rebroadcast a message at the same time, thus collisions are likely to occur. Furthermore, the excess number of rebroadcasts increases resources utilization that affects the network performance and increases energy consumption. In this paper, we investigate the flooding algorithm in the context of WNSNs and compare it with counter-based and probabilistic-based broadcasting mechanisms that are proposed for MANETs.

Localisation precision is one of the predominant challenges in static and mobile wireless sensor networks. It is a critical issue to be tackled when developing applications that rely on this type of networks. This paper presents three localisation techniques, named eDV-Hop1, eDV-Hop2, and eDV-Hop3, based on geometry principles. The performance of these techniques was evaluated using the network simulator (OMNeT++) and compared to the basic DV-Hop, iDV-Hop1, and iDV-Hop2. Results show that significant improvement is obtained in terms of energy consumption and localisation error according to several parameters, mainly the number of sensors, the number of anchor nodes, and the communication range of sensor nodes.

This report deals with the LTE downlink transmission scheme, from the base station to the terminal (the mobile phone), which is based on multicarrier modulation: OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing). LTE also supports the use of multiple antennas at both the base station and the terminal to improve communication performance: Multiple Input -- Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna processing.The project focuses on the different methods for estimating the time-varying channel between the transmitter and the receiver: to carry out coherent demodulation, the mobile terminal requires estimates of the downlink channel, and to allow this, known symbols are inserted in the transmitted signal.

Electricity demand increases every year and there is a need to improve the existing power grid. Smart Grid concept was developed by Institutes and research agencies to address this need. This new concept can be generally considered as an intelligent power grid system that implements distributed energy. Gathering, coordinating operation and control of multiple distributed energy resources, energy storages, loads and set of users pose a great challenge. Effective management of smart grid will have a benefit of reduced cost of energy, reduced stress on the electric energy infrastructure, and improved energy efficiency. This paper reviews the research and studies on mathematical models used to optimize energy management in smart grid. The paper compares and discusses various fitness functions used in the literature. Genetic Algorithm is explored and brief overviews of other methods are discussed.

Broadcasting is a fundamental operation in a mobile ad hoc network (MANETs) protocols. The flooding is the simplest mechanism used for message broadcasting in MANETs in which a message is rebroadcasted, by each node, exactly once. Despite its simplicity, it can cause high redundancy retransmission that could generate messages contention and collision. However, the issue is finding a way to minimize the number of redundantly received messages in order to save transmission energy while maintaining good latency and high reachability. Several enhanced versions of the flooding mechanism have been proposed to alleviate this issue by inhibiting some nodes from rebroadcasting. The selection of relay nodes is a major design consideration in all enhanced versions. In this paper, a dynamic threshold-based probabilistic scheme (DTP) is introduced. In DTP, the threshold value at the nodes is dynamically adjusted using only information from neighboring nodes. Results are presented and show the efficiency of DTP in terms of reachability, saved rebroadcast, and average latency.

Currently mobile devices like smartphones are equipped with high performance processors, memory, sensors and storage. Therefore they can do a lot of what traditional desktop and laptop computers do. Their emergence has led to many applications especially which are offered by the cloud computing. This technology is called mobile cloud computing. MCC combines the features of both mobile computing and cloud computing. Users of Mobile can get rich experience of various services from their own mobile applications that run on cloud servers. The only barrier which prevents those users to adopt mobile cloud computing is that there are risks in terms of security and privacy of the data and services. Because, mobile cloud computing has limitations in terms of data storage, bandwidth, heterogeneity, scalability, availability, reliability, and privacy [5]. So the security solution for it has become a research focus. In this paper, we are more interested in data security in mobile cloud computing environment. We propose a hybrid architecture based on Encryption as a Service. It empowers the cloud clients to be in control of their cryptographic operations and keys that they deploy in the cloud, independently of the cloud provider. Firstly, we outline cloud computing technology, then we explore mobile cloud computing environment and we analyze some encryption algorithms. Finally we propose our achitecure to solve the problem of privacy in MCC.

In wireless sensor networks, several localization algorithms have been proposed to accurately locate nodes. These algorithms can be categorized into two main families: range-based and range-free. Algorithms using the range-based technique are mainly based on exact computation of the distance or the angle between two nodes (i.e., transmitter and receiver) in the network. Thus, the position can be obtained using trilateration or triangulation. Methods using the range-free technique, however, use only the network connectivity information between nodes. Nodes use the positions of the anchors; no measure of distance or angle is used. Therefore, these algorithms can only provide estimated nodes positions. In this paper, we focus on algorithms that use the range-free technique, especially DV-Hop algorithm, and we present an improved DV-Hop localization algorithm for WSNs. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the localization error.

International audience; Substantial research efforts on Ad hoc networks have been devoted recently to Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANETs) to target Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Roadside unit (V2R) communications in order to increase driver/vehicle safety, transport efficiency and driver comfort. VANETs are special subclass of Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) for inter-vehicle communication and have relatively more dynamic nature compared to MANETs due to the rapid network topology changes. The development and implementation of efficient and scalable algorithms for information dissemination in VANETs is a major issue which has taken enormous attention in the last years. In this paper, an efficient distributed information dissemination approach is proposed, inspired by Ant-colony communication principles, such as scalability and adaptability that are useful for developing a decentralized architecture in highly dynamic networks. The main objective is to provide each vehicle with relevant information about its surrounding to allow drivers to be aware of undesirable events and road conditions. A "relevance" value into emergency messages is defined as an analog to pheromone throwing in Ant colony, to take an appropriate action. Simulations are conducted using NS2 network simulator and relevant metrics are evaluated under different node speeds and densities to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Swarm Intelligence (SI) is a system composed of many individuals interacting locally with each other and/or with their environment, providing collective problem solving. Examples of natural systems are colonies of bees, ants and termites, schools of fish, flocks of birds. In this paper, we introduce a bee-inspired algorithm for information dissemination in VANETs. Honey bees communicate with each other only in bee hives. The proposed algorithm exploits bee communication principles to allow vehicles communicating with each other. Simulations have been conducted and results are reported to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Information broadcasting in MANETs is an essential building block for cooperative operations, group discussions, and common announcements (e.g., filling routing tables). The flooding is the simplest broadcasting scheme used in MANETs. In this scheme, source nodes broadcast at once packets to all neighbors. Broadcasting through flooding causes increased messages redundancy, collision, and wastage of bandwidth and energy. Several approaches have been proposed to solve these issues and could be classified into two main categories: static schemes and adaptive schemes. In this paper, we introduce an adaptive scheme for information broadcasting in MANETs. This scheme allows nodes to select an appropriate action, either to rebroadcast or to discard receiving messages. The decision is based on the amount and timestamps of received messages. Simulations have been conducted and results show that the proposed scheme reduces the number of packet transmissions, has better latency and SRB, good reachability, and low energy consumption.
