A New Preconditioned Inexact Line-Search Technique for Unconstrained Optimization
Abbas Al-Bayati, Ivan Latif (Author)
December 2012 ,Pages 25-39

Abstract: In this paper, we study the global convergence properties of the new class of preconditioned conjugate gradient descent algorithm, when applied to convex objective non-linear unconstrained optimization functions. We assume that a new inexact line search rule which is similar to the Armijo line-search rule is used. It's an estimation formula to choose a large step-size at each iteration and use the same formula to find the direction search. A new preconditioned conjugate gradient direction search is used to replace the conjugate gradient descent direction of ZIR-algorithm. Numerical results on twenty five well-know test functions with various dimensions show that the new inexact line-search and the new preconditioned conjugate gradient search directions are efficient for solving unconstrained nonlinear optimization problem in many situations.

Application of Immune Complement Algorithm to NSL-KDD Intrusion Detection Dataset
Mafaz Khalil Alanezi, Najlaa Aldabagh (Author)
December 2012 ,Pages 109-123

Abstract: Many real world problems involve the simultaneous optimization of various and often conflicting objectives. Evolutionary algorithms seem to be the most attractive approaches for this class of problems, because they are usually population based techniques that can find multiple compromise solution in a single run, and they do not require any hypotheses on the objective functions. Among other techniques, in the last decade a new paradigm based on the emulation of the immune system behavior has been proposed. Since the pioneer works, many different implementations have been proposed in literatures. This Paper presents a description of an intrusion detection approach modeled on the basis of three bio-inspired concepts namely, Negative selection, Positive selection and complement system. The Positive selection mechanism of the immune system can detect the attack patterns (nonself), while the Negative selection mechanism of the immune system can delete the Artificial lymphocyte (ALC) which interact with normal patterns (Self). The complement system is a kind of the effecter mechanism, which refers to a series of proteins circulating in the blood and bathing the fluids surrounding tissues. It establishes the idea that only those cells that recognize the antigens are selected to undergo two operators: cleave operator and bind operator are presented, cleave operator cleaves a complement cell into two sub-cells, while bind operator bindtwo cells together and forms a big cell. To obtain Complement detectors can recognize only the attack patterns from the NSL-KDD dataset.

Manar Kashmola, Bayda Khaleel (Author)
December 2012 ,Pages 125-138

Abstract:  Clustering or (cluster analysis ) has been widely used in data analysis and pattern recognition. There are several algorithms for clustering large data sets or streaming data sets, Their aims to organize a collection of data items into clusters. These such items are more similar to each other within cluster, and difference than they are in the other clusters. Three fuzzy clustering algorithms (Fuzzy C-Means, Possibilistic C-Means and Gustafson-Kessel algorithms) were applied using kdd cup 99 data set to classify this data set  into 23 classes according to the subtype of attacks. The same data set were classified into 5 classes according to the type of attacks. In order to evaluate the performance of the system, we compute the classification rate, detection rate and false alarm rate on this data set. Finally, the results obtained from the experiments with classification rate 100% which has not been obtained in any  previous work.

Construct a Simulator of a Proposed Trust and Reputation Model in (PD) P2P File Sharing Systems
Dujan Taha, Abdullah Salih (Author)
December 2012 ,Pages 151-165

Abstract: Trust concept is an important requirement for sustained interactions between peers, and to deal with malicious peers in P2P file sharing systems. Traditional security mechanisms and services are unable to protect against malicious behaviors, therefore trust and reputation management is considered an appropriate solution that can provide a protection against such threat. In this paper, we focused on the advantage of some existing trust models to formulate a new model that solves problems raised in the previous models. We also considered the partially decentralized (PD) peer-2-peer (P2P) architecture to execute the proposed model. Finally, we construct a C# based simulator to test proposed model on the partially decentralized P2P file sharing network. Simulation results show that the model is able to identify malicious peers effectively and isolate them from the system (sharing files), hence reducing the amount of inauthentic uploads and increasing peers’ satisfaction.

Basil Younis, Abeer Khaliq Thanoon (Author)
December 2012 ,Pages 27-41

Abstract: This research deals with the question of pressing two series of video images by using the pressing Fractal through the use of iterative function systems, where the film frame video acquired is divided after  each converting it to one type of the storage formulas for the image files independently. Then, the image is divided into non-overlapping range blocks with the size P×P, the biggest block of which is the overlapping domain one with the size 2P×2P.  After that matching is made between rang blocks and each block of domain blocks to obtain domain blocks identical to range blocks. The purpose of making matching is to obtain the best domain block identical to rang block by using familiar transfers, to reduce the  volume of storage with the possibility of decompression and making a comparison between the time of compression and decompression.  The research sample includes two series of video films from the city of Mosul, namely, the Nineveh bridge and the building of college of Computer Science and Mathematics at the University of Mosul, It is found that algorithm used is efficient as far as compression and decompression of color and moving images are concerned.

December 2012 ,Pages 43-61

Abstract: Agent based systems software engineering is a new model in the field of software engineering. It provides new approaches for developing agent based systems. Numerous methodologies for agent based systems software engineering have been proposed. However, it is difficult to select a methodology for a specific project, and their application is still limited due to their lack of maturity and weakness for some of them. Evaluating and comparing their strengths and weaknesses is an important step towards developing better methodologies in the future, and help developers to select the most suitable methodology for project development. This research presents an evaluation and comparison of five agent based systems methodologies: Tropos, Gaia, Multi-agent Systems Engineering (MaSE), Multi Agent Systems Development (MASD) and Smart Multi Agent System (SmartMAS) methodology that is suggested by authors. The requirements of  an agent based E-Commerce system were studied and applied on the development phases for these five methodologies, and toward a formal study, the evaluation and comparison were performed based upon a framework which addresses four major criteria: concepts and properties, notations and modeling, development process, and pragmatics. The results shows that the proposed methodology is give (85%) percentage of covering these criteria for the systems that were developed by using this methodology; this concluded that the proposed methodology is better than other methodologies.

Maha Rahman Hasso, Aseel Ali (Author)
December 2012 ,Pages 63-79

Abstract: Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a method of heuristic search using in general artificial intelligence (swarm intelligence) to simulate the behavior of the aggregate food for ants to find new solutions to the combinatorial optimization problems. Artificial ant's behavior depends on the trails of real ant with additional capabilities to make it more effective such as a memory to save the past events. Every ant build solutions to the problem, and uses the information grouped about the features and performance of the private problem, to change the look to the ant problem. In this work, an edge detection technique based on Ant Colony Optimization is used by selecting pheromone matrix which represents the information about edges in each pixel based on the guidelines set up by the ant on the image. Multiple values for different sizes of neighbor pixels are applied and a heuristic information function to test results is proposed. The results show high accuracy in edge detection of different biomedical images with different neighbors, the proposed algorithm is implemented in C Sharp 2008 language which provides high-efficiency software visible language and speed. A comparative study is also given illustrating the superiority of the proposed algorithm.
