Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Floating point arithmetic circuits provide wide dynamic range and high precision, and they are widely used in scientific computing and signal processing applications, but the complexity increases in hardware implementations of floating point units. In VLSI design architecture, many applications suffer in size of the components used in logical operations. The aim of reducing architecture is to gain reduction in power loss and also in area, but the reduction in size of the components leads to an increase in delay and memory. Hence, to overcome these limitations and to optimize the area, a novel design of floating point processing element …

Monotone Data Modeling Using Rational Functions, Zoha Tariq, Farheen Ibraheem, Malik Zawwar Hussain, Muhammad Sarfraz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Rational schemes for shape preservation of monotone data both in 2D and 3D setups have been developed. $C^1$ rational cubic and partially blended bicubic functions are employed for this purpose. Monotonicity is achieved by extracting constraints on parameters involved in the description of these rational functions. Monotone curves and surfaces have been obtained, which provide evidence that the algorithm used fits most types of monotone data and produces visually pleasing results.

A CMOS current-mode exponential circuit is designed by plugging candidate circuits into a Taylor's approximation circuit to make a multiple-segment circuit. The selection of candidate circuits is dependent on a large linearity range in each segment. The proposed range-segmented circuit is different from all segments constructed only by quadratic circuits or only by linear circuits. The proposed circuit was simulated using UMC 0.18~$\mu$m CMOS technology. The output linearity of the circuit is 56.7~dB for gain error less than 0.5~dB, and the --3~dB bandwidth of the circuit is between 69 and 150~MHz for input range from --63 to 198~$\mu$A.

Improving The Redundancy Of Knuth?S Balancing Scheme For Packet Transmissionsystems, Elie Ngomseu Mambou, Ebenezer Esenogho, Hendrik Ferreira Jan 2019

Improving The Redundancy Of Knuth?S Balancing Scheme For Packet Transmissionsystems, Elie Ngomseu Mambou, Ebenezer Esenogho, Hendrik Ferreira

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A simple scheme was proposed by Knuth to generate binary balanced code words from any information word. However, this method is limited in the sense that its redundancy is twice that of the full sets of balanced codes. The gap between Knuth?s algorithm?s redundancy and that of the full sets of balanced codes is significantly considerable. This paper attempts to reduce that gap. Furthermore, many constructions assume that a full balancing can be performed without showing the steps. A full balancing refers to the overall balancing of the encoded information together with the prefix. We propose an efficient way to …

Verifiable Dynamic Searchable Encryption, Mohammad Etemad, Alpteki̇n Küpcü

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Using regular encryption schemes to protect the privacy of the outsourced data implies that the client should sacrifice functionality for security. Searchable symmetric encryption (SSE) schemes encrypt the data in a way that the client can later search and selectively retrieve the required data. Many SSE schemes have been proposed, starting with static constructions, and then dynamic and adaptively secure constructions but usually in the honest-but-curious model. We propose a verifiable dynamic SSE scheme that is adaptively secure against malicious adversaries. Our scheme supports file modification, which is essential for efficiently working with large files, in addition to the ability …

A Postpruning Decision Algorithm Based On Loss Minimization, Ahmed M. Ahmed, Ali̇ Hakan Ulusoy, Ahmet Ri̇zaner

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a post-pruning method known as zero-one loss function pruning (ZOLFP) that is based on zero-one loss function is introduced. The proposed ZOLFP method minimizes the expected loss, rather than evaluating the misclassification error rate of a node and its subtree. The subtree is pruned when expected loss of the node is less than or equal to the sum of the loss of its leaves. The experimental results demonstrate that ZOLFP method outperforms. Un-pruned C4.5 Decision Tree (UDT-C4.5) algorithm, reduced error pruning (REP), and minimum error pruning (MEP) in terms of performance accuracy in all used datasets. It …

A Hybrid Single-Source Shortest Path Algorithm, Hi̇lal Arslan, Murat Manguoğlu Jan 2019

A Hybrid Single-Source Shortest Path Algorithm, Hi̇lal Arslan, Murat Manguoğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The single-source shortest path problem arises in many applications, such as roads, social applications, and computer networks. Finding the shortest path is challenging, especially for graphs that contain a large number of vertices and edges. In this work, we propose a novel hybrid method that first sparsifies a given graph by removing most edges that cannot form the shortest path tree and then applies a classical shortest path algorithm to the sparser graph. Removing all the edges that cannot form the shortest path tree would be expensive since it is equivalent to solving the original problem. Therefore, we propose an …

Path-Oriented Random Testing Through Iterative Partitioning (Ip-Prt), Esmaeel Nikravan, Saeed Parsa

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Path-oriented random testing aims at generating a uniformly distributed sequence of test data from a program input domain space to traverse a desired execution path of the program. To this aim, this article proposes a new algorithm to refine a program inputs domain space from invalid subdomains not covering the path. The validity of the subdomains is checked by a constraint propagation method against the path constraints (PCs). The proposed algorithm uses a divide and conquer technique to iteratively split the inputs domain into subdomains and each time refutes those subdomains that are inconsistent with the PCs.

Modified Self-Adaptive Local Search Algorithm For A Biobjective Permutation Flowshop Scheduling Problem, Çi̇ğdem Alabaş Uslu, Berna Dengi̇z, Canan Ağlan, İhsan Sabuncuoğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Interest in multiobjective permutation flow shop scheduling (PFSS) has increased in the last decade to ensure effective resource utilization. This study presents a modified self-adaptive local search (MSALS) algorithm for the biobjective permutation flow shop scheduling problem where both makespan and total flow time objectives are minimized. Compared to existing sophisticated heuristic algorithms, MSALS is quite simple to apply to different biobjective PFSS instances without requiring effort or time for parameter tuning. Computational experiments showed that MSALS is either superior to current heuristics for Pareto sets or is incomparable due to other performance indicators of multiobjective problems.
