Networks - I: Computational Intelligence Based Optimization In Wireless Sensor Network, Rabia Iram, Muhammad Irfan Sheikh, Sohail Jabbar, Abid Ali Minhas

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle and so the technology advancement which proved to be a miracle of the miracles. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is one such miracle of the wireless technology which opens up the new dimensions for the researchers to write the technology of the future i.e. ubiquitous computing and intelligence. Nevertheless nature has played its ultimate role as well to give an idea of perfection in optimizing the teething issues in any field and so in WSN. …

Artificial Intelligence - I: Design, Low Cost Implementation And Comparison Of Mimo Mamdani Fuzzy Logic Controllers For Wall Tracking Behavior Of Mobile Robot, Umar Farooq, K. M. Hasan, Ghulam Abbas, Muhammad Usman Asad, Syed Omer Saleh Jul 2011

Artificial Intelligence - I: Design, Low Cost Implementation And Comparison Of Mimo Mamdani Fuzzy Logic Controllers For Wall Tracking Behavior Of Mobile Robot, Umar Farooq, K. M. Hasan, Ghulam Abbas, Muhammad Usman Asad, Syed Omer Saleh

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

This paper describes the design, implementation and comparison of two Mamdani Fuzzy Logic Controllers for wall tracking behavior of mobile robot. Both the controllers take inputs from two ultrasonic sensors and generate motion commands for left and right motors. The controllers are designed using MATLAB and implemented in real time using an inexpensive and readily available microcontroller, AT89C52. The controllers differ in membership functions and the rule base which provides a mean for their comparison. Experimental results have validated both the controllers; however they exhibit different settling time and percentage overshoot due to the difference in the membership functions and …

Artificial Intelligence – I: Usability Studies In Haptic Systems, Muzafar Khan, Suziah Sulaiman, Abas M. Said, Muhammad Tahir Jul 2011

Artificial Intelligence – I: Usability Studies In Haptic Systems, Muzafar Khan, Suziah Sulaiman, Abas M. Said, Muhammad Tahir

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

Haptic systems that deal with force and tactile feedback are widely used in different domains. Usability evaluation plays an important role to assess these systems and user's experience. Many usability evaluation studies for haptic systems have been reported but no effort is made to effectively summarize those works; thus, little is known on the extent in which the methods applied are useful for these systems. Literature survey is performed to find out the patterns related to different evaluation methods and haptic devices used in various domains. The survey findings indicate for a need of new usability methods that would be …

Artificial Intelligence – I: A Preliminary Framework For Human-Agent Communication In Electronic Negotiations, Moez Ur Rehman, Nosheen Riaz Jul 2011

Artificial Intelligence – I: A Preliminary Framework For Human-Agent Communication In Electronic Negotiations, Moez Ur Rehman, Nosheen Riaz

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

Electronic negotiations are business negotiations conducted via electronic means using information and communications technologies (ICT). Two dominant types of electronic negotiation systems are automated negotiation systems for software agents and negotiation support systems (NSSs) for humans. However, the integration of two types for human-agent negotiations is an important task. In this paper, an extended communication model for human-agent business negotiations is presented. For this purpose, the underlying communication models of automated negotiations and NSSs are analyzed. The extended communication model is based on a common negotiation ontology which captures the negotiation agenda and paves the way for such hybrid communication, …

Service-Oriented E-Learning Architecture Using Web Service-Based Intelligent Agents, Nasir Hussain, M. Khalid Khan Aug 2005

Service-Oriented E-Learning Architecture Using Web Service-Based Intelligent Agents, Nasir Hussain, M. Khalid Khan

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

There is no doubt that e-learning has found its way in our lives. From the very start to the Ph.D. level one can find e-learning courses every where and all the big names are supporting it. One thing that is needed to be understood is that e-learning is basically the integration of various technologies. Now this technology is maturing and we can find different standards for e-learning .New technologies such as agents and web services are promising better results. In this paper we have proposed an e-learning architecture that is dependent on multi-agent systems and web services. These communication technologies …

Poster Session A: Fingerprint Matching Using Ridge Patterns, Muhammad Umer Munir, Dr. Muhammad Younus Javed Aug 2005

Poster Session A: Fingerprint Matching Using Ridge Patterns, Muhammad Umer Munir, Dr. Muhammad Younus Javed

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

This paper presents a fingerprint matching scheme that utilizes a ridge patterns to match fingerprint images. The proposed scheme uses a set of 16 Gabor filters where spatial frequencies correspond to the average inter-ridge spacing in fingerprints. It is used to capture the ridge strength at equally spaced orientations. A circular tessellation of filtered image is then used to construct the ridge feature map. This ridge feature map contains both global and local details in a fingerprint as a compact fixed length feature vector. The fingerprint matching is based on the Euclidean distance between two corresponding feature vectors. The genuine …

Poster Session A: Face Recognition Using Sub-Holistic Pca, Muhammad Murtaza Khan, Dr. Muhammad Younus Javed, Muhammad Almas Anjum Aug 2005

Poster Session A: Face Recognition Using Sub-Holistic Pca, Muhammad Murtaza Khan, Dr. Muhammad Younus Javed, Muhammad Almas Anjum

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

This paper proposes a face recognition scheme that enhances the correct face recognition rate as compared to conventional Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The proposed scheme, Sub-Holistic PCA (SH-PCA), was tested using ORL database and out performed PCA for all test scenarios. SH-PCA requires more computational power and memory as compared to PCA however it yields an improvement of 6% correct recognition on the complete ORL database of 400 images. The correct recognition rate for the complete ORL database is 90% for the SH-PCA technique.
