Security Enhancements over the Communication Networks in
Smart Grid
Prof. Maode Ma
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
Abstract:
The ever growing demand of energy all over the world has compelled a shift from the traditional power distribution system
to a more sustainable and efficient system incorporating the advances of information technology and communication and
networking technologies. This new energy infrastructure is envisioned not only to provide more optimal energy consumption
and better real-time power requirement assessment but also to incorporate renewable energy generation sources at both
consumer and provider sides for environment friendly power generation.
The implementation of such infrastructure demands the deployment of efficient communication networks among various
entities of the smart grid system. The architecture of the networks tends to be highly distributed, heterogeneous and complex,
incorporating different communication standards and resources. The complexity of the communication networks provides
various venues for the adversaries to compromise the communication networks of the smart grid system. The corresponding
consequences resulting from these vulnerabilities can range from minimal harm, to entire system shutdown. Such impacts
may lead to economic collapse, terrorist invasion and even loss of lives.
In this talk, we investigate the security aspects of the home area networks (HANs) and neighborhood area networks (NANs)
to support the operation of the smart grid in detail. We explore the vulnerabilities of the HANs and NANs under various
malicious attacks and review current major solutions to protect the networks from those attacks. We further discuss the
potential research issues to enhance the security functionality of the communication networks in the smart grid. As an
example, we will present our recent solution to enhance the security functionality of the HANs in the smart grid.

The Motion Planning for Spherical Robot with Two Motors
Xin Wang
Tongji University, China
A006
Abstract—In this paper, we proposed a spherical robot with two motors in the horizontal and vertical directions which derive the
robot to do omni-directionally roll. Based on the structure of the robot, we derived the kinematic model using inertial and moving
coordinate system. In order to minimize the energy of the system, an optimization problem with two optimization variables which
are the parameters to control the angular velocity of the motors is given. After that, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm
is used to solve the optimization problem. The simulation shows that the motion planning with the algorithm has high precision.

A014
Abstract—A closed-loop control algorithm is used for stabilization of a vibrating nonlinear strain gradient micro Euler-Bernoulli
cantilever beam using linear piezoelectric actuation. In this paper, the governing partial differential equation (PDE) of the nonlinear
strain gradient beam with piezoelectric actuator is obtained. Galerkin projection method is utilized to reduce the system’s PDE
equation of motion into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) model. The nonlinear system is controlled by a
robust linear controller which ensures the stability of the nonlinear system. Numerical simulations are investigated to demonstrate
the effectiveness and performance of the designed control scheme.

Alaa Khalifa and Ahmed Ramadan
Tanta University / EJUST, Egypt
11
2015 SINGAPORE CONFERENCES
Abstract—This paper concerns with the control system design for a teleoperated endoscopic surgical manipulator system that uses
PHANTOM Omni haptic device as the master and a 4-DOF parallel manipulator (2-PUU_2-PUS) as the slave.
PID control
algorithm was used to achieve the trajectory tracking, but the error in each actuated joint reached 0.6 mm which is not satisfactory
in surgical application. The design of a control algorithm for achieving high trajectory tracking is needed. Simulation on the virtual
prototype of the 4-DOF parallel manipulator has been achieved by combining MATLAB/Simulink with ADAMS. Fuzzy logic
controller is designed and tested using the interface between ADAMS and MATLAB/Simulink. Signal constraint block adjusted the
controller parameters for each actuated prismatic joint to eliminate the overshoot in most of position responses. The simulation
results illustrate that the fuzzy logic control algorithm can achieve high trajectory tracking. Also, they show that the fuzzy controller
has reduced the error by approximately 50 percent.

A023
Abstract—Due to its potential to improve human health care and various of the treatments equipments, power assisted nursing care
systems have received positive attentions from the global community and also gaining huge demands from the mainstream industry.
In such a control system, wearable actuators and control valves are required to be mounted on the human body. Generally, the
performance and cost of the pneumatic wearable rehabilitation device depends on the cost and performance of the valve. Therefore,
the optimal design of the valve for precise control is required. In this paper, the proposal of the static model and analysis of the
servo valve using buckle tubes developed before are described.

Okayama University of Science, Japan
Abstract—Today, the aged people are rapidly increasing and the number of children is decreasing in Japan. This social problem
A024
causes the demand of the care and welfare equipments to support a nursing and a self-reliance for the senior. For example, a power
assist device for reducing the burden of the user has been researched and developed. The purpose of this study is to develop a small
and light-weight pneumatic control valve and to apply it to the care and welfare equipments. In our previous study, the small-sized
quasi-servo valve using two inexpensive on/off valves was developed and tested. The pressure control type quasi-servo valve was
also proposed and tested by using the quasi-servo valve, a pressure sensor and an embedded controller. In this paper, the pressure
control type quasi-servo valve is applied to a force control of the pneumatic cylinder, and its control performance is investigated.

Bioenergy Ontology for Automatic Pathway Generation
Krishna Sapkota, Pathmeswaran Raju, Craig Chapman, William Byrne, Lynsey Melville
Birmingham City University, United Kingdom
Abstract—Bioenergy is a renewable energy and is generated by treating biomass with various technologies. Depending upon the
nature of biomass, it is more suitable for one technology than others, and they can further be treated with other technologies. Hence,
the biomass follows a pathway of technologies, and the pathway is called bioenergy pathway. Currently, bioenergy pathways are
created manually: either by manually sketching or by creating the data manually and generating diagrams from the data. Manually
generated pathways are prone to human errors. A solution to this is creating semantic pathways automatically. In this paper, we
present the bioenergy ontology to generate semantic pathways automatically. In particular, we have leveraged the Semantic Web
technologies to represent the bioenergy knowledge and inferred the pathways. The case study has been carried out in one of the
INTERREG Project and found promising results.

2015 SINGAPORE CONFERENCES
Hsin-Hui Lin, Yi-Shun Wang, and Ci-Rong Li
National Changhua University of Education, Taiwan
Abstract—With the proliferation of mobile learning in educational context, measuring mobile learning system success has become
an important issue for academics and practitioners. Although mobile learning has received much attention among researchers, little
research has been conducted to assess the success and/or effectiveness of mobile learning systems. Thus, the main purpose of this
study is to develop and validate a multi-dimensional instrument for measuring mobile learning system success (MLSS) based on
previous research. This empirically validated instrument will be useful to researchers in developing and testing mobile learning
system success model, as well as to educators in understanding MLSS from student perspective and promoting the use of mobile
learning systems.

Rotating Machinery Vibration Signal Processing And Fault Diagnosis Based on LMD
Ruirui Bo and Ze Zhang
Inner Mongolia University, China
Abstract—There are abundant of fault information in rotating machinery vibration signal. On account of the non-linearity and
non-stationarity, the paper first does pre-process to the vibration signal using wavelet threshold de-noising method and this method
can bring a smooth signal. Then it decomposes the vibration signal using local mean decomposition(LMD), which is effective to the
vibration signal. The LMD decomposes the signal into many PFs as the frequency from high to low. These PFs are composed of the
production of envelop signal and pure frequency modulated signal.
Finally, it takes most use of the kurtosis which is sensitive to
the fault impact. By calculating the kurtosis of PF, it can assess the distribution of fault impact signal in every frequency band,
consequently distinguishing the operating state of bearing and recognizing the fault mode according to the growth of turtosis. The
experiment of actual bearing vibration signal demonstrates that the methods this paper proposed can effectively diagnose the
vibration fault and has good performance.

Channel Estimation on the (EW)RLS Algorithm Model of MIMO OFDM in Wireless Communication
Suzi Seroja Sarnin, Habibah Hashim, Siti Maisurah Sulong
University Technology Mara (UITM), Maylaysia
Abstract—This paper study the channel estimation based on the exponentially weighted (EW) RLS algorithm. The advantages of
the proposed estimator arise from its implementation in the time-domain, whereas fewer channel parameters are required to be
estimated compared with the frequency-domain channel coefficients. In addition, the matrix inversion operation required in LS and
LMMSE estimators is avoided here by recursively updating the channel estimates. Therefore, the computational complexity is
highly reduced compared to frequency-domain based channel estimation. Furthermore, the proposed estimator has good tracking
capability due to exploiting the time correlation between the path gains. This paper provides analysis, evaluation and computer
simulations in MATLAB. The performance is evaluated in terms of the MSE of the channel estimate and BER for different Doppler
13
2015 SINGAPORE CONFERENCES
frequencies (correspond to different mobility speeds) and Monte Carlo simulations are performed and the MSE and BER
performance versus SNR are obtained by averaging over 10000 channel realization. For comparisons, the BER performance is also
presented for perfectly known channel at the receiver. In all the simulations, perfect synchronization between the transmitter and the
receiver is assumed.

Energy-Saving User Association for Uplink Heterogeneous Cellular Networks
Tianqing Zhou, Sifan WU, Yafang Wang, Luxi Yang
Southeast University, China
Abstract—In this paper, we present a scheme that jointly designs user association and power control in uplink heterogeneous
cellular networks. Specifically, we formulate a general problem which performs user association and meanwhile minimizes the
uplink sum-power under signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) constraints. This is a nonlinear mixed-integer optimization
problem, and its optimum solutions are very difficult to be obtained when the problem is large-scale. To solve this problem, we
decompose it into a user association problem and a power control problem, and then iteratively solve these two subproblems by
designing a two-sided scalable (2.s.s.) algorithm. The proposed algorithm can be well implied in a distributed manner due to its
simplification and efficiency. Numerical results show that, compared with the scheme proposed by Roy, the proposed scheme can
significantly reduce energy consumption and increase the system throughput.

Wireless Sensor Network Based Mobile Tracking System
Nyein Aye Maung Maung, Makoto Kawai
Ritsumeikan University, Japan
Abstract—Mobile target tracking through large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSN) demands a large number of reference nodes,
which is not feasible for resource-constrained WSNs. This paper proposes a resource-efficient mobile tracking system which
integrates connectivity-based range-free approach and Received Signal Strength (RSS) based ranging approach to improve the
tracking performance while reducing the specialized hardware requirement. In our proposed system, regulated hop-count values
between static unknown nodes and reference nodes in the targeted area of interest for mobile tracking are first estimated in the
network configuration phase. Then, location of the mobile target is tracked based on the regulated hop-count values and the
available RSS measurements from its surrounding nodes at each tracking point without any extra hardware. Additionally, estimated
location is enhanced by correcting with the known information of maximum velocity of the mobile target. Simulation and
experimental results show that the proposed system offers preferable mobile tracking performance with minimum reference node
utilization in both small-scale and large-scale networks.

Jeong-Hwan Kim, San-Eun Park, Gyeo-Wun Jeung, Kyeong-Seop Kim
Konkuk University, Korea
Abstract—This research proposes a new method to detect R-peaks in electrocardiogram by using the prediction value from adaptive
linear neuron (ADALINE) artificial neural network. With this aim, the weights of four input neurons in ADALINE are updated for
each encoded ECG vector-segment and the value of an output neuron is compared with the actual ECG followed by applying finite
impulse response filter. Our simulated experiments with the MIT-BIH ECG database that represents the long-term recordings from
the heart disease patients show that our proposed algorithm can detect R-peaks in ECG data with the accuracy of more than 99%.

Abstract—In every marathon events, runners always prefer the result running time to be confirmed and announced as soon as
possible. This paper proposes a real-time monitoring system with RFID data processing that can compute both the finish time and
the net time. The net time is used to determine the top runners to receive awards. The running result is determined and declared by
the audit committee. Most of the software solutions available on the market are desktop applications. These applications are usually
dependent on specific operating systems and have different system requirements for installation. Furthermore, they are generally
rigid in terms of structure and functionality. On the other hand, we have developed the system that can read a live running time at
the RFID reader points. Then the system shows the live time on the board that can be immediately perceived by runners.
We have
th
evaluated the proposed system in the 11 Khon Kaen International marathon, which is one of the largest marathons in Thailand. The
organizers and the runners were pleased with the real time live running time reports as well as the precise net time used to determine
the winning runners.

Using TOPSIS to Predict Route Safety in Ubiquitous Network
Chiung-Ying Wang, Bo-Liang Wu
TransWorld University, Taiwan (R.O.C)
Abstract—The demand for car navigation applications in route finding has grown tremendously. However, the driver use of GPS
navigation to guide the car to unsafe route often happens. In this paper, the goal of the proposed mechanism is able to select the
route which satisfies multiple requirements of individual user and improve route safety. In this paper, the proposed mechanism
considers various contexts and utilizes Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution, TOPSIS to predict route
safety. The contexts of the proposed mechanism are including route information: road distance, road maintenance information,
traffic information, mudslide avalanche information; weather information: heavy rain information. The TOPSIS is a multi-criteria
decision analysis method and adopted to select route with higher safety for drivers. Finally, our computational results also indicate
that the proposed mechanism provides shorter road maintenance distance, less traffic jam, fewer rainfalls and less mudslide
avalanche degree than shortest route. Therefore, the proposed mechanism efficiency improves route safety for drivers. This paper
for applications in the automotive navigation devices, and it has benefits to enhance route safety.

Analysis and Optimization of Distributed Antenna-Aided Heterogeneous Networks Relying on Fractional
Frequency Reuse
Lang Zhong, Guangjun Li, Xuemin Yang,Shuisheng Lin
University of Electronic Science & Technology of China
Abstract—In distributed antenna-aided Heterogeneous Networks, macro cells (MCs) always suffer co-channel interference (CCI)
from femtocells (FCs). Hence, in this paper, the downlink (DL) signal to interference ratio (SIR) of MCs and the interferential
constituents are investigated. To decrease this adverse impact of FCs and achieve high spectral efficiency, a joint optimization of
Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and optimal frequency allocation (OFA)among mobile stations (MSs) is proposed to improve
both the cell planning and the frequency allocation. Simulation results show high feasibility of PSO algorithm and prove that
15

compared with conventional static system and PSO scheme, the proposed PSO-OFA joint optimizing scheme has significant
performance improvement and also achieve some degree of controllability.

Assam Engineering College, India
Abstract—In today’s age of Next Generation Internet there have been a plethora of diversified overlapping networks where each of
these communication technologies are optimized to provide user specific services and Quality of Service(QoS) parameters. The
main objective of next generation networks focus at high bandwidth and high mobility. There are WiFi hotspots (WLAN) providing
high data rates within smaller areas and UMTS networks providing larger coverage areas with low data rates. These two
complementary networks can be combined to quench the thirst for ubiquitous communication enabling the smart mobile user to
roam seamlessly between these technologies for best possible services. To ensure Always Best Connectivity, one of the main short
comings to be addressed is efficient handoff management and there are a lot of works already published addressing various issues of
efficient handoff management till date. This paper provides a comprehensive detail of different handoff management strategies
reported so far in a systematic manner and also throws light on a particular scheme of handoff management between UMTS and
WLAN providing QoS to the mobile users.

University of Jinan, China
Abstract—To improve the processing ability of big data, a new clustering algorithm is proposed which is designed based on
K-means. In this algorithm, a concept of ―Silhouette Coefficient‖ is defined to estimate the result of clustering. Based on silhouette
coefficient, the optimized clusters’ number would be chosen, and then K-means algorithm would be operated with this clusters’
number. The algorithm is tested by a real production big data set and compared with classical K-means. The result of experiment
proves that the improved algorithm has more reasonable result of clustering with little extra calculation.

Shihua Yu, Rui Wang, Kaiyu Wang, Mengmeng Xi and Hui Liu
Dalian University of Technology, China
Abstract—Image matching plays a very important role in the field of medical image, while the two image registration methods
based on the mutual information and the optical flow are very effective. The experimental results show that the two methods have
their prominent advantages. The method based on mutual information is good for the overall displacement, while the method based
on optical flow is very sensitive to small deformation. In the breast DCE-MRI images studied in this paper, there is not only overall
deformation caused by the patient, but also non rigid small deformation caused by respiratory deformation. In view of the above
situation, the single-image registration algorithms cannot meet the actual needs of complex situations. After a comprehensive
analysis to the advantages and disadvantages of these two methods, this paper proposes a registration algorithm of combining
mutual information with optical flow field, and applies subtraction images of the reference image and the floating image as the main
criterion to evaluate the registration effect, at the same time, applies the mutual information between image sequence values as
auxiliary criterion. With the test of the example, this algorithm has obtained a better accuracy and reliability in breast DCE-MRI
image sequences.

Prince of Songkla University, Thailand
Abstract—PFSQL is an extension of the SQL language that allows usage of fuzzy logic in SQL queries. In query statements,
variables can take both fuzzy and non-fuzzy values. Normally, different types of values cannot be compared directly. Therefore, it is
necessary to implement fuzzy compatibility calculation to solve this problem. This paper proposes a method of fuzzy compatibility
calculation implementation that determines compatibility degree of two fuzzy sets. The compatibility value is calculated using
polygon intersection algorithm. To prove the correctness of the proposed method, the application has been developed and tested
with 360compatibility cases of different randomly generated fuzzy values. The experimental results show that our algorithms can
handle various types of intersections between any two fuzzy sets.

Abstract—Nowadays, online user-generated contents, or called consumer word-of-mouth, directly influence to real world, and there
are many attempts to analyze them using opinion mining. For sentiment analysis, general dictionaries have been used frequently, but
much research mentioned domain specific sentiment dictionary should ensure higher performance than general sentiment dictionary.
And also use of Korean sentiment lexicons is still rare because of the complexity of Korean as an agglutinative language. In order to
recover these challenges, this study attempted to develop a movie domain specific sentiment dictionary. We collected movie reviews
and applied natural language processing, support vector machines method, and validate it though sentiment lexicon based analysis.
As a result, the linguistic feature for the dictionary was consisted with 668 terms on classification accuracy reached 76.69 % in
training data and 73.38% in test data. In addition, this domain specific dictionary classified 66.12% of whole review data and
achieved 78.68 % of accuracy and 89.64 % of F1 score. It shows that a domain specific dictionary can be generated without manual
works; can achieve relatively higher performance; a small scale dictionary can become efficient way for big data analysis.

Chung Yung, Ming-Cheng Li, and Yu-Tang Lin
National Dong Hwa University, Taiwan
Abstract—In this paper, we present a software project management of agile development in cloud computing environment, called as
TOAST, which is constructed based on the MOAT model.
MOAT is a two-layer model of software project management using
agile methodology, which is especially designed for managing software projects in cloud computing environments.
In MOAT, the
primary operations of agile software development are categorized into two layers; namely, the project layer and the task layer. With
MOAT, the progress status of an agile software development project is represented easily and clearly. TOAST implements all the
MOAT operations using a client/server architecture, of which the TOAST client is deployed as an Android app and the TOAST
server is designed to work in the cloud computing environments. Since there is not many, if any, software management tools of
agile development available, TOAST is considered as an explorative tool especially for the software industry that aims at the cloud
computing environments as the primary computing platform.

Abstract—Previously, there were morphological analyzer and lemmatization method for Bahasa: Indonesian language, yet they have
not handled all occurred cases. Therefore, we develop an algorithm which combines two tasks; they are to generate affixed words
from a root word and vice versa. The current morphological analyzer to generate affixed words has not covered in analyzing two
words, whilst the current lemmatization method cannot find out the lemma from an affixed word which has confix and
reduplication. Hence, we will cover these issues in order to enhance the current methods. The algorithm concerns only in Bahasa.
The algorithm to generate affixed word is based on the two-level morphological analyzer, while refinement of lemmatization
method is based on rule precedence and token checking. After implementing the algorithms, we find out that affixed word produced
is 12.63% productive words, 86.98% non-productive words, and 0.39% incorrect words for the affixed word, whilst lemmatization

Sakarya University, Turkey
Abstract—In this paper, chaos based a new arithmetic crossover operator on the genetic algorithm has been proposed. The most
frequent issue for the optimization algorithms is stuck on problem's defined local minimum points and it needs excessive amount of
time to escape from them; therefore, these algorithms may never find global minimum points. To avoid and escape from local
minimums, a chaotic arithmetic crossover operator has been employed on a genetic algorithm. Unimodal and multi modal
benchmark functions have been used for comparing and test procedures. The genetic algorithm with this new arithmetic crossover
operator has yielded better results than original arithmetic crossover operator does. With this new chaos based arithmetic crossover
operator diversity and uniqueness of the genetic algorithm’s late population are increased. Therefore, even in the late stages of the
optimization process, the genetic algorithm tried to search the entire search space and improved the best solution.

National Central University, Taiwan
Abstract—There have been more vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel in 2013 than there had been in the previous decade. In this
paper, the research was focused on defending against arbitrary memory overwrite in privilege escalation. To avoid malicious users
getting root authority, the easiest way is to set the sensitive data structure to read-only. But we are not sure the sensitive data
structure will never be modified by legal behavior from a normal device driver; thus, we posed a compatible solution between
read-only solutions and writable solutions which is based on the mechanism of read-only IDT table to enhance compatibility. The
main idea that we posed not only solves the above problem, but also the general problem which is ensuring that important memory
values can only be changed within a safe range. It is not just set to read-only. In addition, we do not need to care about if the Linux
kernel exists any the vulnerabilities of arbitrary memory overwrite.

Dhurakij Pundit University, Thailand
Abstract—ERP education and training is the critical success factor in an ERP implementation project but the ineffectiveness of
current ERP training is still reported. Ineffective ERP education and training lead to user resistance towards an ERP system which
makes the organization unable to achieve the long term benefits of ERP implementation. The ERP system was developed based on a
universal culture and applied equally to all situations without consideration of the differences between ERP design and the
organization in reality, which may be problematic. Thereby, the aim of this article is to investigate whether the current ERP training
approach accommodates the variety of end-user learning styles. To achieve this objective, a pilot study was conducted to measure
the training outcomes of the current ERP training delivered to various groups with different end-user learning styles. In-depth
interviews were conducted with 30 end-users who have experience in ERP training during the period of implementation phase in a
Thai context. The pilot study result supported the assumption by showing the incompatibility of end-user learning styles and the
current ERP training approach, which affects the ERP training outcome.

Abstract—In mobile clouding environment, seamless service in cloud servers is one of the essential features to meet the needs of
mobile users around the world. However, in some cases, such a server service may be interrupted due to upgrade issues. The
changes of the server service often cause the corresponding client program to be upgraded. Depending on the circumstances, the
change of the client program may be delayed. Unfortunately, the inconsistency of the program version may result in system crash
since the cloud server cannot handle the client request. In this paper, we present a new approach to address the version mismatch by
proxy servers based on the adapter design pattern. The primary results show that the proposed approach can enhance the reliability

predicates as states and connecting them with functional components in light of their relationships. Once a framework is set up, both
program generation and verification can be automatically carried out. The principle presented here is not only applicable to
sequential programs, but also to other types of program structures and paradigm such as iteration, branch structure and grammatical

Zhen Jin, Yongjin Choi, Hyunchul Choi and Sukho Park
Chonnam National University, Gwangju, Korea
Abstract—Recently, to improve drug delivery efficiency in cancer therapy, many researchers have been concentrated on drug
delivery system and drug loaded micro/nano particles. In addition, as induction methods for drug delivery, ultrasound, magnetic
field, and infra-red light based inducting methods can be considered. Among them, focused ultrasound is regarded as a promising
candidate for drug delivery system because it can penetrate into a deep site of soft tissue and focus its energy on the target lesion. In
this paper, we fabricated PLGA(poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid)-DTX(docetaxel) encapsulated alginate microbeads with
single-emulsion technique and aeration method. In order to choose an appropriate operating parameters (input voltage, duty factor,
and burst period) of the focused ultrasound, the pressure and the temperature of focal area induced by focused ultrasound were
measured with UT-325 digital thermal detector and needle hydrophone (Muller-platte needle probe, Germany). These measuring
results were compared with the simulation results using COMSOL Multiphysics 4.3a. In addition, the drug releasing rates of the
PLGA-DTX encapsulated alginate microbeads induced by the focused ultrasound were tested. Through these experiments, we
determined the appropriate focused ultrasound parameters as input voltage 500 Vpp, duty factor 25%, and burst period 20 . Finally,
we tested cell cytotoxicity of PLGA-DTX encapsulated alginate microbeads combined with the focused ultrasound induction. We
found that the focused ultrasound induction enhances anti-tumor effect more than 10 %. Consequently, we confirmed that the
focused ultrasound can be an effective induction method for anti-cancer drug delivery system.

Design of 3-D compound Tactons for navigation information display
Zhen Jia, Jianqing Li, Wanpei Geng
Southeast University, China
Abstract—Different from transformational Tactons, compound Tactons are a sequence of two or more one-element Tactons. Previous
studies have investigated the perception of transformational Tactons which encode two or more dimensions of information using
various vibrotactile parameters. Little has been done on how to design compound Tactons to present non-visual information
effectively. This paper investigates recognition rates for compound Tactons which encode multidimensional navigation information.
Experimental results show that overall identification rate for three-parameter Tactons is 92.65% by using different vibrotactile
27

parameters, suggesting compound Tactons are a promising method of conveying complex information. This study will guide
designers to select suitable compound Tactons for use when navigating in a virtual or real urban environment.

Orawit Thinnukool, Noodchanath Kongchouy
Chiang Mai University, Thailand
Abstract—The processing and analysis of spatial data especially land-use are becoming increasingly dependent on the methodology
used in managing the data rather than only using only Geographic Information System (GIS) software. Our approach in handling
spatial data for recorded land-use data using basic land-use concept saves cost and is effective for developing land-use analysis. The
aim of the study is to design and explain how land use data can be retrieved and managed by a free. The example was used to
analyze land-use change, with freely available tools. These tools can handle the spatial data very well. The computation was based
on the actual number of observations via Google Earth with free version on pilot area. The results demonstrate the use of normal
statistics analysis for prediction in the analysis of land use change is easy to understand.

An Edge-Based Algorithm for Spatial Query Processing in Real-Life Road Networks
Ye-In Chang, Meng-Hsuan Tsai, and Xu-Lun Wu
National Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan
Abstract—Due to wireless communication technologies, positioning technologies, and mobile computing develop quickly, mobile
services are becoming practical and important on big spatiotemporal databases management. Mobile service users move only inside
a spatial network, e.g. a road network. They often issue the K Nearest Neighbor (KNN) query to obtain data objects reachable
through the road network. The challenge problem of mobile services is how to efficiently answer the data objects which user interest
to the corresponding mobile users. Lu et al. have proposed a RNG (Road Network Grid) index for speeding up the KNN query on
real-life road networks. Since they divide the road, this makes the number of points of the graph increase. It increases the execution
time of constructing the index structure. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a network model that captures the real-life road
networks. We map the real-life road networks into graph directly. Then, based on our network model, we propose an EBNA
(Edge-Based Nine-Area tree) index structure to make the search time of obtaining the interest edge information quickly. From our
simulation result, we show that the performance of constructing the EBNA index is better than constructing the RNG index and the
performance of the KNN query processing by using EBNA index is better than the KNN query processing by using RNG index.

Mahidol University, Thailand
Abstract—This paper applies the association rules method to discover the relationship between metabolic syndrome and its chronic
diseases. The sample data used in this research is medical records specified to metabolic syndrome patients in a large government
hospital. The Apriori and FP-Growth algorithms are chosen to be compared in the performance and applicable results of extracting
the relationship of the metabolic syndrome patient records represented by ICD-10 code. The results show that the Apriori can extract
6 rules and 724 rules from FP-Growth. The comparative results between Apriori and FP-Growth found that 6 rules are common. The
overall results show that the metabolic syndrome patients mostly have strong relationships with hypertension, obesity and diabetes.
Interestingly, these diseases often occur with the patients was diagnosed that was metabolic syndrome. Additionally, the results
would bring to the suggestion in metabolic syndrome patients to know about the relationship of these chronic diseases. Moreover,
the physicians could use this guide for the treatment strategy in the future.

A Low Cost Serious Failure Tolerance Solution in Unreliable NoCs
Letian Huang, Guangjun Li, Xiaofan Zhang, Zhiyong Guo
University of Electronic Science and Technology of China
Abstract—Faults may occur in numerous locations of a router in a Network on Chips (NoCs) platform, special in low power NoCs.
Most of the researchers only focus on the effects of the faults in the data path. However, the effects in the control path may cause
more seriously failure in NoC such as deadlock or live lock. In this paper, we analysis the probability of the serious failure in NoCs
and propose a mechanism to reduce the failures. This mechanism is called LCEC, standing for four distinguishing characteristics of
the proposed method as Low Cost Error Correct. The proposed mechanism is not limited to special types of faults or specific router
components while it has the capability to tolerate faults by using simple error correct codes and scaling the clock frequency.
