technique using adaptive filters in Real-time environment[1].
In order to establish the suitability and credibility of LMS
Algorithm for adaptive filtering in real world scenario, its
efficiency was tested beyond system based ideal simulations.
Within the MATLAB® software environment two different
methods were used to perform Real-time ANC namely
Simulink® and Data Acquisition ToolboxTM. Human voice is
used as test signal. For processing and performing adaptive
filtering, Block LMS Filter was utilised in Simulink and Error
Normalised Step Size algorithm was used in between input

interface. A general method of using DAQ commands has been
employed which also allows for almost any kind of complex
real-time audio processing and is quite easy to follow.

Hardware Implementation of Adaptive Noise Cancellation over DSP Kit TMS320C6713CSCJournals
In noisy acoustic environment, audio signal in speech communication from mobile phone, moving car, train, aero plane, or over a noisy telephone channel is corrupted by additive random noise. The noise is unwanted signal and it is desirable to remove noise from original signal. Since noise is random process and varying at every instant of time, we need to estimate noise at every instant to remove it from original signal. There are many schemes for noise removal but most effective scheme to accomplish noise cancellation is to use adaptive filters. In this paper, we have carried out simulations for different adaptive algorithms (LMS, NLMS and RLS) and compared their performance for noise cancellation in noisy environment. Real time implementation of adaptive algorithm over DSP kit (TMS320C6713) is also presented in this paper. Performance of adaptive algorithm over hardware is also presented. Developed system incorporating best performance adaptive filter in any noisy environment can be used for noise cancellation.
ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION IN A LABORATORY DUCT USING FUZZY LOGIC AND NEURAL ...Rishikesh .
The main goal of this paper is to present a simulation scheme to simulate an adaptive filter using LMS (Least mean square) adaptive algorithm for noise cancellation. The main objective of the noise cancellation is to estimate the noise signal and to subtract it from original input signal plus noise signal and hence to obtain the noise free signal. There is an alternative method called adaptive noise cancellation for estimating a speech signal corrupted by an additive noise or interference. This method uses a primary input signal that contains the speech signal and a reference input containing noise. The reference input is adaptively filtered and subtracted from the primary input signal to obtain the estimated signal. In this method the desired signal corrupted by an additive noise can be recovered by an adaptive noise canceller using LMS (least mean square) algorithm. This adaptive noise canceller is useful to improve the S/N ratio. Here we estimate the adaptive filter using Labview /MATLAB/SIMULINK environment . For achieving the goal we also use modern algorithms like ANFIS, FIS and Neural Network and compare the PSD of all the algorithms.

Simulation of Adaptive Noise Canceller for an ECG signal AnalysisIDES Editor
In numerous applications of signal processing,
communications and biomedical we are faced with the
necessity to remove noise and distortion from the signals.
Adaptive filtering is one of the most important areas in digital
signal processing to remove background noise and distortion.
In last few years various adaptive algorithms are developed
for noise cancellation. In this paper we have presented an
implementation of LMS (Least Mean Square), NLMS
(Normalized Least Mean Square) and RLS (Recursive Least
Square) algorithms on MATLAB platform with the intention
to compare their performance in noise cancellation application.
We simulate the adaptive filter in MATLAB with a noisy ECG
signal and analyze the performance of algorithms in terms of
MSE (Mean Squared Error), SNR Improvement,
computational complexity and stability. The obtained results
shows that, the RLS algorithm eliminates more noise from
noisy ECG signal and has the best performance but at the cost
of large computational complexity and higher memory
requirements.
Filtering is an important mitigation technique for suppressing undesired conducted electromagnetic interference, when a system incorporates shielding, undesired coupling caused by radiated EMI is reduced. Conventional filter analysis and design assumes idealized and simplified conditions. These assumptions are not completely valid in many EMI filter because of unavoidable and severe impedance mismatch. Classical passive filter theory is well developed for communication circuits, where one can operate under impedance-matched conditions. Such filter characteristics are evaluated with 50Ω terminations. Filter evaluated with this procedure may behave differently when used in a circuit, where the impedance presented by the circuit to the filters is not exactly 50Ω. Now a day, digital signals are mostly used to avoid such EMI effects. These are caused by the capacitors, inductors, which are also part of the filtering circuits. Filter design using software, like MATLAB is very useful in avoiding hardware, is highly immune to noise and possesses considerable parameter stability, can be operated over a wide range of frequencies. The frequency response can be changed by changing the filter coefficients and can minimize the Insertion loses (IL).
Computer Based Model to Filter Real Time Acquired Human Carotid PulseCSCJournals
Acquisition and reliable parameter extraction of human bio-signals is extremely sensitive to interferences. Analogue filters have been used in the past to remove artefacts but they only help to suppress these contaminations and are difficult to realize. Their simulated computer based digital equivalents are however a viable and effective solution to this. But these filters are mostly tested on stored database and so there is a need to develop a system where real time acquired human signal is filtered and analyzed online on a computer. Present paper deals with design and simulation of digital techniques like FIR filter, IIR notch filter, spectrum analysis and convolution implemented on real time, non-invasively acquired carotid pulse wave on a computer based environment named Simulink using FDA tool. Results obtained show the accuracy of the designed techniques and gives an easy model to online acquire and filter bio-signals sitting at home.

FPGA based Efficient Interpolator design using DALUT Algorithmcscpconf
Interpolator is an important sampling device used for multirate filtering to provide signal processing in wireless communication system. There are many applications in which sampling rate must be changed. Interpolators and decimators are utilized to increase or decrease the sampling rate. In this paper an efficient method has been presented to implement high speed and area efficient interpolator for wireless communication systems. A multiplier less technique is used which substitutes multiplyand-accumulate operations with look up table (LUT) accesses. Interpolator has been implemented using Partitioned distributed arithmetic look up table (DALUT) technique. This technique has been used to take an optimal advantage of embedded LUTs of the target FPGA. This method is useful to enhance the system performance in terms of speed and area. The proposed interpolator has been designed using half band poly phase FIR structure with Matlab, simulated with ISE, synthesized with Xilinx Synthesis Tools (XST) and implemented on Spartan-3E and Virtex2pro device. The proposed LUT based multiplier less approach has shown a maximum operating frequency of 92.859 MHz with Virtex Pro and 61.6 MHz with Spartan 3E by consuming considerably less resources to provide cost effective solution for wireless communication systems.

FOLDED ARCHITECTURE FOR NON CANONICAL LEAST MEAN SQUARE ADAPTIVE DIGITAL FILT...VLSICS Design
Power consumption reduction is transpiring drift in area of VLSI digital signal processing. This gives rise
to need of minimization of silicon area which is done by folding algorithm. As silicon area decreases power
consumption of a circuit decreases. Folding is an algorithm which reduces silicon chip area by combining
various arithmetic operations into one operation by time scheduling technique. It is applied on iterative
data flow graph with appropriate folding set. Least mean square algorithm alters coefficients of Adaptive
filter in order to achieve desired output. Proposed work is focused on design of efficient VLSI architecture
for LMS adaptive filter aims at reducing mainly area which results in power consumption reduction and
hardware complexity. LMS filter structure used here is called non-canonical as transpose FIR structure is
used. Results show that numbers of adders are reduced by 37.5 % and multipliers by 33.33% without
changing characteristics of filter.
REAL TIME SPECIAL EFFECTS GENERATION AND NOISE FILTRATION OF AUDIO SIGNAL USI...ijcsa
Digital signal processing is being increasingly used for audio processing applications. Digital audio effects
refer to all those algorithms that are used for enhancing sound in any of the steps of a processing chain of
music production. Real time audio effects generation is a highly challenging task in the field of signal
processing. Now a day, almost every high end multimedia audio device does digital signal processing in
one form or another. For years musicians have used different techniques to give their music a unique
sound. Earlier, these techniques were implemented after a lot of work and experimentation. However, now
with the emergence of digital signal processing this task is simplified to a great extent. In this article, the
generations of special effects like echo, flanging, reverberation, stereo, karaoke, noise filtering etc are
successfully implemented using MATLAB and an attractive GUI has been designed for the same.

FACTS Controllers like Static VAR Compensator (SVC),
Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) and Unified

Optimal Placement of DG for Loss Reduction and Voltage Sag Mitigation in Radi...IDES Editor
This paper presents the need to operate the power
system economically and with optimum levels of voltages has
further led to an increase in interest in Distributed
Generation. In order to reduce the power losses and to improve
the voltage in the distribution system, distributed generators
(DGs) are connected to load bus. To reduce the total power
losses in the system, the most important process is to identify
the proper location for fixing and sizing of DGs. It presents a
new methodology using a new population based meta heuristic
approach namely Artificial Bee Colony algorithm(ABC) for
the placement of Distributed Generators(DG) in the radial
distribution systems to reduce the real power losses and to
improve the voltage profile, voltage sag mitigation. The power
loss reduction is important factor for utility companies because
it is directly proportional to the company benefits in a
competitive electricity market, while reaching the better power
quality standards is too important as it has vital effect on
customer orientation. In this paper an ABC algorithm is
developed to gain these goals all together. In order to evaluate
sag mitigation capability of the proposed algorithm, voltage
in voltage sensitive buses is investigated. An existing 20KV
network has been chosen as test network and results are
compared with the proposed method in the radial distribution
system.
Line Losses in the 14-Bus Power System Network using UPFCIDES Editor
Controlling power flow in modern power systems
can be made more flexible by the use of recent developments
in power electronic and computing control technology. The
Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is a Flexible AC
transmission system (FACTS) device that can control all the
three system variables namely line reactance, magnitude and
phase angle difference of voltage across the line. The UPFC
provides a promising means to control power flow in modern
power systems. Essentially the performance depends on proper
control setting achievable through a power flow analysis
program. This paper presents a reliable method to meet the
requirements by developing a Newton-Raphson based load
flow calculation through which control settings of UPFC can
be determined for the pre-specified power flow between the
lines. The proposed method keeps Newton-Raphson Load Flow
(NRLF) algorithm intact and needs (little modification in the
Jacobian matrix). A MATLAB program has been developed to
calculate the control settings of UPFC and the power flow
between the lines after the load flow is converged. Case studies
have been performed on IEEE 5-bus system and 14-bus system
to show that the proposed method is effective. These studies
indicate that the method maintains the basic NRLF properties
such as fast computational speed, high degree of accuracy and
good convergence rate.
Study of Structural Behaviour of Gravity Dam with Various Features of Gallery...IDES Editor
The size and shape of opening in dam causes the
stress concentration, it also causes the stress variation in the
rest of the dam cross section. The gravity method of the analysis
does not consider the size of opening and the elastic property
of dam material. Thus the objective of study is comprises of
the Finite Element Method which considers the size of
opening, elastic property of material, and stress distribution
because of geometric discontinuity in cross section of dam.
Stress concentration inside the dam increases with the opening
in dam which results in the failure of dam. Hence it is
necessary to analyses large opening inside the dam. By making
the percentage area of opening constant and varying size and
shape of opening the analysis is carried out. For this purpose
a section of Koyna Dam is considered. Dam is defined as a
plane strain element in FEM, based on geometry and loading
condition. Thus this available information specified our path
of approach to carry out 2D plane strain analysis. The results
obtained are then compared mutually to get most efficient
way of providing large opening in the gravity dam.
Assessing Uncertainty of Pushover Analysis to Geometric ModelingIDES Editor
Pushover Analysis a popular tool for seismic
performance evaluation of existing and new structures and is
nonlinear Static procedure where in monotonically increasing
loads are applied to the structure till the structure is unable
to resist the further load .During the analysis, whatever the
strength of concrete and steel is adopted for analysis of
structure may not be the same when real structure is
constructed and the pushover analysis results are very sensitive
to material model adopted, geometric model adopted, location
of plastic hinges and in general to procedure followed by the
analyzer. In this paper attempt has been made to assess
uncertainty in pushover analysis results by considering user
defined hinges and frame modeled as bare frame and frame
with slab modeled as rigid diaphragm and results compared
with experimental observations. Uncertain parameters
considered includes the strength of concrete, strength of steel
and cover to the reinforcement which are randomly generated
and incorporated into the analysis. The results are then
compared with experimental observations.

Selfish Node Isolation & Incentivation using Progressive ThresholdsIDES Editor
The problems associated with selfish nodes in
MANET are addressed by a collaborative watchdog approach
which reduces the detection time for selfish nodes thereby
improves the performance and accuracy of watchdogs[1]. In
the related works they make use of credit based systems, reputation
based mechanisms, pathrater and watchdog mechanism
to detect such selfish nodes. In this paper we follow an approach
of collaborative watchdog which reduces the detection
time for selfish nodes and also involves the removal of such
selfish nodes based on some progressively assessed thresholds.
The threshold gives the nodes a chance to stop misbehaving
before it is permanently deleted from the network.
The node passes through several isolation processes before it
is permanently removed. Another version of AODV protocol
is used here which allows the simulation of selfish nodes in
NS2 by adding or modifying log files in the protocol.
Various OSI Layer Attacks and Countermeasure to Enhance the Performance of WS...IDES Editor
Wireless sensor networks are networks having non
wired infrastructure and dynamic topology. In OSI model each
layer is prone to various attacks, which halts the performance
of a network .In this paper several attacks on four layers of
OSI model are discussed and security mechanism is described
to prevent attack in network layer i.e wormhole attack. In
Wormhole attack two or more malicious nodes makes a covert
channel which attracts the traffic towards itself by depicting a
low latency link and then start dropping and replaying packets
in the multi-path route. This paper proposes promiscuous mode
method to detect and isolate the malicious node during
wormhole attack by using Ad-hoc on demand distance vector
routing protocol (AODV) with omnidirectional antenna. The
methodology implemented notifies that the nodes which are
not participating in multi-path routing generates an alarm
message during delay and then detects and isolate the
malicious node from network. We also notice that not only
the same kind of attacks but also the same kind of
countermeasures can appear in multiple layer. For example,
misbehavior detection techniques can be applied to almost all
the layers we discussed.

ways for ensuring trust in this aspect is the introduction of
accountability feature in the cloud computing scenario. The
Cloud framework requires promotion of distributed
accountability for such dynamic environment[1]. In some
works, there‘s an accountable framework suggested to ensure
distributed accountability for data sharing by the generation
of only a log of data access, but without any embedded feedback
mechanism for owner permission towards data
protection[2].The proposed system is an enhanced client
accountability framework which provides an additional client
side verification for each access towards enhanced security of
data. The integrity of content of data which resides in the
cloud service provider is also maintained by secured
outsourcing. Besides, the authentication of JAR(Java Archive)
files are done to ensure file protection and to maintain a safer
environment for data sharing. The analysis of various
functionalities of the framework depicts both the
accountability and security feature in an efficient manner.
Genetic Algorithm based Layered Detection and Defense of HTTP BotnetIDES Editor
A System state in HTTP botnet uses HTTP protocol
for the creation of chain of Botnets thereby compromising
other systems. By using HTTP protocol and port number 80,
attacks can not only be hidden but also pass through the
firewall without being detected. The DPR based detection
leads to better analysis of botnet attacks [3]. However, it
provides only probabilistic detection of the attacker and also
time consuming and error prone. This paper proposes a Genetic
algorithm based layered approach for detecting as well as
preventing botnet attacks. The paper reviews p2p firewall
implementation which forms the basis of filtering.
Performance evaluation is done based on precision, F-value
and probability. Layered approach reduces the computation
and overall time requirement [7]. Genetic algorithm promises
a low false positive rate.
Enhancing Data Storage Security in Cloud Computing Through SteganographyIDES Editor
in cloud computing data storage is a significant issue
because the entire data reside over a set of interconnected
resource pools that enables the data to be accessed through
virtual machines. It moves the application software’s and
databases to the large data centers where the management of
data is actually done. As the resource pools are situated over
various corners of the world, the management of data and
services may not be fully trustworthy. So, there are various
issues that need to be addressed with respect to the
management of data, service of data, privacy of data, security
of data etc. But the privacy and security of data is highly
challenging. To ensure privacy and security of data-at-rest in
cloud computing, we have proposed an effective and a novel
approach to ensure data security in cloud computing by means
of hiding data within images following is the concept of
steganography. The main objective of this paper is to prevent
data access from cloud data storage centers by unauthorized
users. This scheme perfectly stores data at cloud data storage
centers and retrieves data from it when it is needed.
The main tasks of a Wireless Sensor Network
(WSN) are data collection from its nodes and communication
of this data to the base station (BS). The protocols used for
communication among the WSN nodes and between the WSN
and the BS, must consider the resource constraints of nodes,
battery energy, computational capabilities and memory. The
WSN applications involve unattended operation of the network
over an extended period of time. In order to extend the lifetime
of a WSN, efficient routing protocols need to be adopted. The
proposed low power routing protocol based on tree-based
network structure reliably forwards the measured data towards
the BS using TDMA. An energy consumption analysis of the
WSN making use of this protocol is also carried out. It is
found that the network is energy efficient with an average
duty cycle of 0:7% for the WSN nodes. The OmNET++
simulation platform along with MiXiM framework is made
use of.
Permutation of Pixels within the Shares of Visual Cryptography using KBRP for...IDES Editor
The security of authentication of internet based
co-banking services should not be susceptible to high risks.
The passwords are highly vulnerable to virus attacks due to
the lack of high end embedding of security methods. In order
for the passwords to be more secure, people are generally
compelled to select jumbled up character based passwords
which are not only less memorable but are also equally prone
to insecurity. Multiple use of distributed shares has been
studied to solve the problem of authentication by algorithms
based on thresholding of pixels in image processing and visual
cryptography concepts where the subset of shares is considered
for the recovery of the original image for authentication using
correlation function[1][2].The main disadvantage in the above
study is the plain storage of shares and also one of the shares
is being supplied to the customer, which will lead to the
possibility of misuse by a third party. This paper proposes a
technique for scrambling of pixels by key based random
permutation (KBRP) within the shares before the
authentication has been attempted. Total number of shares to
be created is dependent on the multiplicity of ownership of
the account. By this method the problem of uncertainty among
the customers with regard to security, storage, retrieval of
holding of half of the shares is minimized.
This paper presents a trifocal Rotman Lens Design
approach. The effects of focal ratio and element spacing on
the performance of Rotman Lens are described. A three beam
prototype feeding 4 element antenna array working in L-band
has been simulated using RLD v1.7 software. Simulated
results show that the simulated lens has a return loss of –
12.4dB at 1.8GHz. Beam to array port phase error variation
with change in the focal ratio and element spacing has also
been investigated.
Band Clustering for the Lossless Compression of AVIRIS Hyperspectral ImagesIDES Editor
Hyperspectral images can be efficiently compressed
through a linear predictive model, as for example the one
used in the SLSQ algorithm. In this paper we exploit this
predictive model on the AVIRIS images by individuating,
through an off-line approach, a common subset of bands, which
are not spectrally related with any other bands. These bands
are not useful as prediction reference for the SLSQ 3-D
predictive model and we need to encode them via other
prediction strategies which consider only spatial correlation.
We have obtained this subset by clustering the AVIRIS bands
via the clustering by compression approach. The main result
of this paper is the list of the bands, not related with the
others, for AVIRIS images. The clustering trees obtained for
AVIRIS and the relationship among bands they depict is also
an interesting starting point for future research.
Microelectronic Circuit Analogous to Hydrogen Bonding Network in Active Site ...IDES Editor
A microelectronic circuit of block-elements
functionally analogous to two hydrogen bonding networks is
investigated. The hydrogen bonding networks are extracted
from â-lactamase protein and are formed in its active site.
Each hydrogen bond of the network is described in equivalent
electrical circuit by three or four-terminal block-element.
Each block-element is coded in Matlab. Static and dynamic
analyses are performed. The resultant microelectronic circuit
analogous to the hydrogen bonding network operates as
current mirror, sine pulse source, triangular pulse source as
well as signal modulator.
Texture Unit based Monocular Real-world Scene Classification using SOM and KN...IDES Editor
In this paper a method is proposed to discriminate
real world scenes in to natural and manmade scenes of similar
depth. Global-roughness of a scene image varies as a function
of image-depth. Increase in image depth leads to increase in
roughness in manmade scenes; on the contrary natural scenes
exhibit smooth behavior at higher image depth. This particular
arrangement of pixels in scene structure can be well explained
by local texture information in a pixel and its neighborhood.
Our proposed method analyses local texture information of a
scene image using texture unit matrix. For final classification
we have used both supervised and unsupervised learning using
K-Nearest Neighbor classifier (KNN) and Self Organizing
Map (SOM) respectively. This technique is useful for online
classification due to very less computational complexity.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
