Implementation Of The Aodv Routing In An Energy-Constrained Mesh Network, Altin Zejnullahu, Zhilbert Tafa Nov 2015

Implementation Of The Aodv Routing In An Energy-Constrained Mesh Network, Altin Zejnullahu, Zhilbert Tafa

UBT International Conference

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) compose the fundamental platform for a number of Internet of Things (IoT) applications, especially those related to the environmental, health, and military surveillance. While being autonomous in power supply, the main challenge in node’s processing and communication architecture design remains the energy efficiency. However, this goal should not limit the main functionality of the system which is often related to the network coverage and connectivity. This paper shows the implementation of the Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing algorithm in an XBee based platform. As shown, the network can achieve low power consumption per node primarily …


Microsimulation Models For Simulating Pathways Of Patients With Mental Diseases, Andreas Bauer, Felix Breitenecker, Christoph Urach Nov 2015

Microsimulation Models For Simulating Pathways Of Patients With Mental Diseases, Andreas Bauer, Felix Breitenecker, Christoph Urach

UBT International Conference

Predicting demand for care is necessary to provide sufficient capacities in hospitals and enable better planning to cope with challenges like changes in the structure of the population. Emphasis in this work is put on the analysis of the data and on the parametrization of a simulation model for the paths of patients with mental diseases through the health care system. Survival analysis and model selection methods are used for this purpose. Data on patients and their treatments is analyzed with methods of survival analysis. Different methods for modelling the survival and hazard function are presented and compared. Hereby, the …


Digital Long-Term Preservation In Albania, Determining The Right File Formats, Ardiana Topi, Aleksandër Xhuvani Nov 2015

Digital Long-Term Preservation In Albania, Determining The Right File Formats, Ardiana Topi, Aleksandër Xhuvani

UBT International Conference

The National Archive of Albania (NAA) is the main institution in Albania, according to legislation, responsible to create the rules for document life management produced by any organization, and preserve them. Almost all archival documents stored in archival institutions, must be saved for unlimited period of time, or forever. Preservation of digital documents is different from preservation of paper documents. It is a very complex procedure directly connected with the inevitable phenomenon of hardware and software obsolesces. A successful mission of the NAA must have a well-defined strategy regarding the Digital Long-term Preservation. This paper aims to present the possible …


Bounty Techniques For Web Vulnerability Scanning, Tanzer Abazi, Mentor Hoxhaj, Edmond Hajrizi, Gazmend Krasniqi Nov 2015

Bounty Techniques For Web Vulnerability Scanning, Tanzer Abazi, Mentor Hoxhaj, Edmond Hajrizi, Gazmend Krasniqi

UBT International Conference

With the advancement of technology and the raising of massive amount of data, the used techniques for data security are continually a challenge. This paper contributes on identifying the gaps and evaluating security level on web portals hosted or managed by Republic of Kosovo institutions or businesses, whose data privacy and security could be a big business concern. The results have been obtained from real case scenario, where 25 security researchers have contributed in white hack activities. These activities, were part of a one day conference called. “The DAY when hacking is legal”, held in Pristine.


Security Concerns Of New Alternative Telecommunication Services, Arbnora Hyseni, Krenare Pireva, Miranda Kajtazi Nov 2015

Security Concerns Of New Alternative Telecommunication Services, Arbnora Hyseni, Krenare Pireva, Miranda Kajtazi

UBT International Conference

With the advancing new era of communication, the so-called era of ‘being always online’ many providers offer their services for free. In that sense a small company or a virtual company becomes a huge competitor for different traditional telecommunication providers. Using the same services such as: voice calls, video calls, chat and similar services, the internet technology has made huge changes how users make use of such services . Instead of using these services, users shall install applications that are specialized for offering these services via applications, such as: Viber, WhatsApp, Facebook, Google Talk etc.. During the installation and update …


Randomizing Ensemble-Based Approaches For Outlier, Lediona Nishani, Marenglen Biba Nov 2015

Randomizing Ensemble-Based Approaches For Outlier, Lediona Nishani, Marenglen Biba

UBT International Conference

The data size is increasing dramatically every day, therefore, it has emerged the need of detecting abnormal behaviors, which can harm seriously our systems. Outlier detection refers to the process of identifying outlying activities, which diverge from the remaining group of data. This process, an integral part of data mining field, has experienced recently a substantial interest from the data mining community. An outlying activity or an outlier refers to a data point, which significantly deviates and appears to be inconsistent compared to other data members. Ensemble-based outlier detection is a line of research employed in order to reduce the …


The Influence Of Cloud Computing And Mobile Technology In Our Activities, Ramadan Cikaqi, Ilir Morina Nov 2015

The Influence Of Cloud Computing And Mobile Technology In Our Activities, Ramadan Cikaqi, Ilir Morina

UBT International Conference

Through this paper we present the development of information technology especially in cloud computing and mobile technology as an integral part of everyday life, as well as the advantages that cloud computing and mobile technology offers to the business community and the private one. Furthermore, it presents the possibilities offered by this technology on the data preservation compared with the traditional ones. Due to the increased demand for big space, it was necessary to establish a centralized data storage which has brought with it more innovation and advantage, in comparison with other media for data storage in personal memories. This …


Internet Of Things: From Applications, Challenges And Standardization To Industry Implementations, Xhafer Krasniqi Nov 2015

Internet Of Things: From Applications, Challenges And Standardization To Industry Implementations, Xhafer Krasniqi

UBT International Conference

The Internet of Things that is defined as anything that can be accessible anytime and anywhere provides connectivity to different objects and sensors around us and which will enable the transfer of different data between these objects and devices. A thing in the Internet of Things can be any natural or man-made object that can be assigned an IP address with a capability to exchange date over a network. There is a huge number of applications of IoT to benefit users, such as health monitors, smart homes, connected cars etc. If everything around us is connected and information about these …
