The 2008 global recession strongly showed that even the most sophisticated traditional economic models failed to foresee the crisis. New developments of behavioural economic theory indicate that the information from micro-level’s decision making will bring new solution to the age-old problem of economic forecasting. Additionally, the information revolution and big data methods have provided a new lens to study economic problems apart from traditional methodologies.
This research provides the theoretical link between irrationality and big data methods. Empirically, big data methods will be used in forecasting the housing market cycle in Australia. Speciﬁcally, Google trends is included as a new variable in a time series auto-regression model to forecast housing market cycles.

Social context, particularly, the interpersonal relationship between individuals, is one of the key contexts for modeling and predicting mobile user phone call activities. Individual’s diverse call activities, such as making a phone call to a particular person, or responding an incoming call are not identical to all; may diﬀer from person-to-person based on their interpersonal relationships, such as family, friend, or colleague. However, it is very diﬃcult to make the device understandable about such semantic relationships in phone call prediction. Thus, in this paper, we explore the data-centric social relational context generating from the mobile phone data, which can play a signiﬁcant role to achieve our goal. To show the eﬀectiveness of such contextual information in prediction model, we conduct our study using the most popular machine learning classiﬁcation techniques, such as logistic regression, decision tree, and support vector machine, utilizing individual’s mobile phone data.

QoC framework is based on the server-side design and implementation of the use of hierarchical architecture. Reverse proxy technology is used to build a server cluster, which is composed of front-end access layer to achieve the server for load balancing, improve the performance of the system and the use of built-in distributed cache server. The cluster consists of the cache acceleration layer, which reduces the load of the backend database. The second database server cluster, which is constructed by the database master and slave synchronization technology, forms the data storage layer, which realizes the database read and writes separation and data redundancy. The server-side hierarchical architecture improves the performance and stability of the entire system, and has a high degree of scalability, laying a solid foundation for future expansion of system business logic and increases user volume. This paper presents new cache replacement algorithm for inconsistent video file size and then analyzes the specific needs for the multi-terminal type of QoC framework, and gives the client and server-side outline design; it describes the implementation details of the client and the server-side and finally the whole system of detailed functional and performance testing.

One of these therapies includes drug delivery system, where the nanocarriers are utilized for targeted and controlled delivery of drug to the diseased sites. Toxicity is one of the crucial issues which can arise during this process and needs to be addressed seriously and as early as possible. This paper reports an automated system for the relatively new and undiscovered area, where cell detection and evaluation play a major role in toxicity prediction of nanocarriers during the drug delivery process. The toxicity level was decided on the basis of dead cells count present in the microscopic images. The algorithm takes a few seconds to run and the overall accuracy of the proposed algorithm was found to be approx. 97% and 83% for different sets of images. The various image peculiarities which led to error include high cells clustering, poor contrast, and noisy background

Since best candidate selection is utmost requirement to play the role of cluster head, the selection criteria considers node density, residue energy, farness from base station & power dissipation if chosen as cluster head. Also, non-cluster head nodes elect their cluster head on the basis of residual energy, node density, the power it will dissipate during the round and distance to that cluster head. Simulation experiments are performed for two cases wherein a base station is kept at the center of the network in one hand and at far off distance on the other hand. Simulation results are compared with LEACH and MODLEACH which validate the extension of stability region and exhibit load balanced network for proposed protocol.

In this research paper, various ontology-based approaches i.e. compute semantic similarity between words have been studied and listed their benefits and shortcomings on the various identified parameters. Earlier, correlation with human judgment was the single criteria for the judgment of good similarity measures. In this paper, more parameters for semantic similarity measures have been identified and a relative analysis of similarity measures is performed on the identified parameters. These identified parameters can be further utilized for formulating the new semantic similarity-measures in the latest research area of text mining, web mining and information retrieval. We have identified various parameters like features-set, applicability on various ontologies such as single ontology, cross ontology or fuzzy ontology, Ontology type, dataset applied and relationship mapping for the various measures. Through detailed analysis we have found that feature based and hybrid approaches has higher accuracy as compare to edge and content based methods and works in different type of ontologies. Recent research drawing interest to find new feature set in this area like fuzzy distance, graph generation and text snippets etc. Max Accuracy was achieved in single ontology 0.87 and 0.83 over cross ontologies. WordNet and MeSH are maximally utilized Global Ontologies.

Cancer starts from breast and spread to other part of the body. People are unable to identify their disease before it become dangerous. It can be cured if the disease identified at early stage. Accurate classification of benign tumours can avoid patients undergoing unnecessary treatments. Data Analytics and machine learning methods provides framework for prognostic studies by errorless classification of data instances into relevant based on the cancer severity. In this study we have purposed a prediction model by combining artificial intelligent based learning technique with multivariate statistical method. For automation of the diagnosis process data mining plays an significant role. The data sets available in different repositories are noisy in nature. This study suggests a hybrid feature selection method to be used with PCA (Principal Component Analysis) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Preprocessing of data and extracting the most relevant features done by PCA. The proposed algorithm is tested by applying it on Wisconsin Breast Cancer Dataset from UCI Repository of Machine Learning Databases. In classification phase 10 fold cross validation was used. The suggested algorithm was measured against different classifier algorithms on the same database. The evaluation results of the algorithm proposed have achieved better accuracy with sensitivity and F measure comparison with others and by enhancing this concept we can provide a future scope to produce sophisticated learning models for diagnosis.

To predict the stock prices, authors have proposed a technique by first calculating the sentiment scores through Naïve Bayes classifier and after that neural network is applied on both sentiment scores and historical stock dataset. They have also addressed the issue of data cleaning using a Hive ecosystem. This ecosystem is being used for pre-processing part and a neural network model with inputs from sentiment analysis and historic data is used to predict the prices. It has been observed from the experiments that the accuracy level reaches above 90% in maximum cases, as well as it also provides the solid base that model will be more accurate if it trained with recent data. The intended combination of sentiment analysis and Neural networks is used to establish a statistical relationship between historic numerical data records of a particular stock and other sentimental factors which can affects the stock prices.

As the volume of data is expanding, information retrieval (IR) is becoming complicated. Document clustering is an unsupervised ML approach, employed to group a huge number of dispersed documents into a small number of significant and consistent clusters, thus providing a base for indexing, IR and browsing mechanisms. Documents clustering has a long tradition in English as well as English like western languages, but Urdu lags behind in terms sophisticated natural language processing (NLP) tools and resources for documents clustering. Documents clustering becomes a challenging task in Urdu language having a rich morphology, particular structure, syntax peculiarities and cursive nature. In this study, we have developed a framework of document clustering and analysed various similarity measures for Urdu documents. We have also checked the effect of stop words removal in the process of Urdu document clustering.

Researchers have used different Data Mining and Internet of Things (IoT) for enrooting a programmed solution for diabetes and heart patients. However, still, more advanced and united solution is needed that can offer a therapeutic opinion to individual diabetic and cardio patients. Therefore, here, a smart data mining and IoT (SMDIoT) based advanced healthcare system for proficient diabetes and cardiovascular diseases have been proposed. The hybridization of data mining and IoT with other emerging computing techniques is supposed to give an effective and economical solution to diabetes and cardio patients. SMDIoT hybridized the ideas of data mining, Internet of Things, chatbots, contextual entity search (CES), bio-sensors, semantic analysis and granular computing (GC). The bio-sensors of the proposed system assist in getting the current and precise status of the concerned patients so that in case of an emergency, the needful medical assistance can be provided. The novelty lies in the hybrid framework and the adequate support of chatbots, granular computing, context entity search and semantic analysis. The practical implementation of this system is very challenging and costly. However, it appears to be more operative and economical solution for diabetes and cardio patients.

However, the infrastructure for accommodating these vehicles has grown
relatively slow. Alleviating the pressure on the urban transport system and solving the ‘parking difficulty’ problem have thus become hot topics recently. In this paper, an intelligent parking system based on geomagnetic field variations is presented to solve
this problem. An algorithm which detects the presence of vehicles in parking spaces in a parking lot is designed and field test results are presented. Our results show that this system has an acceptably high accuracy with low cost, high feasibility, high efficiency and hence is recommended for wide use.

The answer to this need is a simulation testbed which can be used to simulate the UAV Network (UAVNet). One of these attempts is - UAVSim (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Simulation testbed) developed at the University of Toledo. It has the capability of simulating large UAV networks as well as small UAV networks with large number of attack nodes. In this paper, we analyse the performance of the simulation testbed for two
attacks, targeting single and multiple UAVs. Traditional and generic computing resource available in a regular computer laboratory was used. Various evaluation results have been presented and analysed which suggest the suitability of UAVSim for UAVNet attack and swarm simulation applications.

Long route transportation is norm today for transporting goods and persons. Road transport has remained one of the important means of transportation. Increase in population and motorization in the country along with expansion of road network con-tributes to the number of road accidents, injuries and mortalities, as well as loss of productivity. Safety of the passengers, drivers and property is very important issue when we talk about long route travelling. There are many issues that en-
danger the safety of people and vehicle during long route transportation. Some of them are driver’s negligence while driving, overtaking by the vehicles, over speeding of vehicles on the highways, health and mental state of the driver while driving, mechanical issues of the vehicle, sudden arrival of animals on
highways, unfamiliar road conditions, negotiating with difficult winding roads, road traffic, overloading of the vehicles and many more. To ensure safety of vehicle and people it is very important to be more cautious and take proper safety measures while driving for long routes. In this research paper we have proposed wireless sensor network based architecture that monitors various parameters that needs to be considered effectively for avoidance of accidents on long routes.

There are several approaches to enhancing it that have been experimentally validated within federated testbed environments. To best gain scientific knowledge from these studies, reproducibility and automation are needed in all areas of the experiment life cycle. Within the GENI and FIRE context, several architectures and protocols have been developed for this purpose. However, a major open research issue remains, namely the description and discovery of the heterogeneous resources involved. To remedy this, we propose a semantic information model that can be used to allow declarative interoperability, build dependency graphs, validate requests, infer knowledge and conduct complex queries. The requirements for such an information model have been extracted from current international Future Internet research projects and the practicality of the model is being evaluated through initial implementations. The main outcome of this work is the definition of the Open-Multinet Upper Ontology and related sub-ontologies, which can be used to describe and manage federated infrastructures and their resources.
