UBT International Conference

Digitalization has already affected every segment of the industry and especially manufacturing. Based on market requires that are more specific and faster than ever, there is a need to use some of the online platform packages called Cloud Manufacturing (CM). CM operate through the digital data then here comes the expression CAD models or in particular STL files that are currently adequate for Additive Technologies (AT). On the other hand, there is a rapid increase in the measurement aspects via non-contact forms (3D scanners) where their data are stored in various digital formats: IGES, OBJ, PLY, etc.). Those formats can …

Performance Analysis Of Java Persistence Api Providers, Besart Pllana

UBT International Conference

Nowadays, fast and accurate access to data is very important. Usually data is managed and processed through software applications. In recent years, the most preferred programming model by most application developers is Object Oriented Programming (OOP) where data is represented through objects. These data must be persistent and therefore needs to be stored, and storage can be done on a variety of databases. The most common databases are Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS). While persistence of objects in RDBMS is limited by object-relational mismatch which is the inconsistency of the direct interaction between two components based on different approaches, OOP …

The Moving Object Reflected Under Matlab Test-Bench (Simulation Model Through Buit-In Functions), Virtyt Lesha, Jozef Bushati, Dea Strica

UBT International Conference

Digital image processing is an area that finds many applications in three-dimensional graphics. One of the subjects considered in image processing is detection of moving objects. In this paper, we have analyzed the performance of an algorithm that detects a moving object. The performance relates to the speed of moving object during a pre-determined time interval. The methodology supports Matlab integrated with built-in functions. Specifically, as input of the simulation model is a video material containing moving objects. The model reads a video file presenting moving objects; after the model is executed in Matlab, the output emits moving objects associated …


Nb-Iot: A Network Slice For Massive Iot, Xhafer Krasniqi Oct 2018

Nb-Iot: A Network Slice For Massive Iot, Xhafer Krasniqi

UBT International Conference

Network virtualisation is a concept that has been around for some time now, but the concept of network slicing is more recent and only started to be mentioned in the context of 5G. In essence, network slicing is a specific form of network virtualisation that enables sharing of physical resources by multiple logical network slices used to serve different applications and use cases. One such a use case would be to allocate network resources to small things, e.g. sensors and very low power consumption objects. To allow these small objects access to network resources or to a slice of such …

Review Of Cloud Migration Strategies And Providers – An Iaas Migration Strategy, Florinda Imeri, Agon Memeti

UBT International Conference

Companies are addressing the Cloud Computing issue more actively recently, as a part of a move towards a more agile and flexible IT infrastructure since benefitting from an IT infrastructure that is flexible, scalable, high-performance and up-to-date is no longer a luxury or the exception to a rule. The issue they address is “Which is the best strategy?” Of course, this is not a simple issue given that the cloud can impact an organization’s application picture across several dimensions. When an organizations made the decision to consider cloud services for its application or infrastructure deployment, it’s important to understand the …

Designing A Controller Via Simulated Annealing, Zemerart Asani, Selvet Rexhepi

UBT International Conference

With Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers being widely used in industry for optimum solutions. Optimization of the PID controller is an important problem in Control Engineering. Therefore, in this paper work we have implemented Simulated Annealing to tune the controller parameters. Optimizing the controller parameters on the basis of the Simulated Annealing algorithm, based on criteria defined using an objective function, allows us to find optimal solutions for the controller parameters that give us minimum error. In terms of performance, the PID controller designed with Simulated Annealing gives us great results with regard to the rise time, settling time, overshoot and steady-state …

Technology Mediated Nudging In A Mobile Health Context, My Zetterholm, Päivi Jokela, Lina Nilsson

UBT International Conference

According to a vision for eHealth that was launched in 2016 by the Swedish Government, Sweden will be leading the way in using the potential of digitalization and eHealth to help people achieve a good and equal health. To achieve this vision, we argue that initiatives in eHealth need to augment the traditional health perspective. This implies a more preventive approach that transforms the health concept to a continuous participative process over the life course. A stronger emphasis is needed to develop high quality mobile and web based systems in order to empower people to pursue a healthy lifestyle. A …

UBT International Conference

Waste management system needs clear and strict management policy. They also need a process of evaluating and selecting the most appropriate landfill sites that respect the restrictions and constraints dictated by the presence of the population in that area, with respect to ecological ecosystems and other factors. In addition to the geographical and geological criteria and other specifications that are defined by traditional selection procedures, there are new factors adding to the old constraints and limitations. Urban waste is produced in large quantities in our cities, every year. As a result, the number of sites should increase with the population …

Emission Reduction Opportunities Of Coal-Fired Steam Generator, Marigona Krasniqi, Risto Filkoski

UBT International Conference

Energy and its production today has become one of the most controversial topics. Power plants around the world produce energy with different sources, but so far there is no energy source that can make competition with coal for many years and for many reasons. Even though power plants with this kind of fuel have their own advantages, the biggest drawbacks are the release of hazardous and toxic substances. These emission components negatively affect the environment and for this reason in many countries of the world, are described the limits of the emitting rate. For this purpose, in this paper there …


Does An(Y) Order Exist Within The Structural Art, Feti Selmani Oct 2018

Does An(Y) Order Exist Within The Structural Art, Feti Selmani

UBT International Conference

Many authors have treated the beauty and aesthetics from the social and phylosofic point of view [Kant, Plato], whereas very few of them have meditated within the domain of Architecture let alone Structural Engineering [Leonhardt]. The Beautiful is beautiful, and the Ugly is ugly, but subjectivity apart, is any mean of defining a way or some Principles which can be of Guide for the designer. Is there any mathematics within the beauty, i.e., can the beauty be described in a mathematical way. It is a simple, yet a very difficult question answering, since both the beauty and aesthetics falls into …
