Foreword
Hasanuddin University, Makassar, INDONESIA and the IEEE Indonesian Chapter have agreed to
jointly sponsor the Makassar International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Informatics
(MICEEI). The First MICEEI was held on November 13-14, 2008, and it was decided to hold the
event bi-annually in the even numbered years in Makassar. This MICEEI being held on October 2728, 2010 is the second one. The other international event jointly sponsored by Hasanuddin
University and the IEEE Indonesian Chapter was the International Workshop on Modern Research
Methods in Electrical Engineering (IWoRMEE). It is held also bi-annually in the odd numbered
years, either in Makassar or elsewhere. The First IWorMEE was hosted by the Hasanuddin
University Department of Electrical Engineering in Makassar last year.
Informatics is a relatively new study program in the Indonesian academia, but it is quite a fast
growing discipline. We decided to integrate this new discipline into the Department of Electrical
Engineering and accommodated research papers in this area in this conference not without
reasons. Several sub-disciplines of Informatics such as software engineering, algorithm analysis and
development, pattern recognition, etc., are very familiar to the Electrical Engineering world,
especially the Computer Engineering specialization. The papers presented in the Second MICEEI.
2010 cover a broad spectrum of both Electrical Engineering discipline (including the Electrical
Power and Energy Engineering, Telecommunication, Control, Electronic and Computer
Engineering) and Informatics. All presented papers as well as the text version of keynote speeches
are printed in the proceedings.
I wish to thank all members of the Organizing Committee, especially the International Advisory and
Program Committee, session chairpersons and authors of all papers, all of whom have contributed
in large measure to the success of this 2nd MICEEI 2010. We all indebted to the distinguished
keynote speakers and the Hasanuddin University's Vice Rector for Academic Affairs and the Dean
of Engineering who have agreed to address the plenary session in the first day of the conference. I
also wish to express my sincere thanks to our Secretary General, Dr. Elyas Palantei, the Department
Chairman and Secretary, Dr. Zahir Zainuddin and Ms. Zaenab Muslimin respectively, for their
enormous work in carrying out many detailed tasks to make this 2nd MICEEI possible. Finally, I
would like to sincerely thank all of our friends and partners in the electrical engineering industrial
world and academia who have contributed greatly to this event.

The Application of Wavelet Transform for an Image Compression
Nowadays, video applications such as digital laser disc, electronic camera, videophone and video
conferencing systems, image and interactive video tools on personal computers and workstations,
program delivery using cable and satellite, and high-definition television (HDTV) are available for
visual communications. Many of these applications, however, require the use of data compression
because visual signals require a large communication bandwidth for transmission and a large a
mounts of computer memory for storage. In order to make the handling of visual signals cost
effective it is important that their bandwidth be compressed as much as possible. Fortunately, visual
signals contain a large amount of statistically and psychovisually redundant information. By
removing this unnecessary information, the amount of data necessary to adequately represent an
image can be reduced.
We present an overview on wavelet transform and its applications, the results of our previous work
and ongoing research for image compression, and some considerations for application wavelet
transform in the future.

In this talk we survey the emerging area of reconfigurable antennas from fundamental concepts to
advanced techniques and examples that offer important new capabilities for future applications. As
we aware antennas are necessary and critical components of communication and radar systems, but
sometimes their inability to adjust to new operating condition can limit system performance.
Therefore by making antennas reconfigurable, their behavior can be adapted with changing system
requirements or environmental conditions so that can eliminate these restrictions and provide
additional levels of functionality for any system.
Several examples on reconfigurable antennas for both single radiator and array will be described to
clarify the concepts.

I. Introduction
The rapid growth of digital imaging applications, such as image and interactive video tools
on personal computers and workstations, desktop publishing, multimedia, teleconferencing, highdefinition television (HDTV), digital laser disc, electronic camera, program delivery using cable
and satellite, are available for visual communications. Many of these applications, however, require
the use of data compression. In order to make the handling of digital imaging signals cost effective
it is important that their bandwidth be compressed as much as possible. Fortunately, imaging
signals contain a large amount of statistically and psychovisually redundant information. By
removing this unnecessary information, the amount of data necessary to adequately represent an
image can be reduced.
There are numerous ways to achieve compression in image compression techniques.
Predictive coding and transform coding are widely used for image compression techniques.
Transform coding especially using the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is an international
standard and one of the most powerful compression techniques [1]. Data or bandwidth compression
is achieved mainly by discarding weak frequency components whose amplitudes are below a certain
visible threshold and by quantizing the remaining non-zero coefficients with as few bits as possible.
Psychovisual image compression techniques involve the discarding of information that the human
eye is likely to see or to perceive. The aim here is to find an image compression algorithm which is
optimized to match the human visual system (HVS). The technique will be adaptively tuned to the
local characteristics of the image, such as the image activity or business and luminance or
brightness.
This paper describes the results of previous worked for psychovisual image compression by
using wavelet transform [2] and highlight for the future image compression i.e., medical imaging.

This transform can be seen as a mathematical microscope whose position zooms on location b with
a magnification a1 and whose optical characteristic is described by the mother wavelet x . In
most digital signal processing applications, we are only interested in the discrete dyadic wavelet
transform in which scales and spatial translations vary as a power of 2. This dyadic transform is well
matched to multiresolution analysis and fast computations [6]. It has been shown that the dilations
and translations [5]:
jk x 2 j / 2 2 j x k
(2)
j, k Z 2
j, k Z 2
jk x 2 j / 2 2 j x k ,
(3).
The wavelet transform of a given signal may be interpreted as the decomposition of the signal into a
set of time frequency functions by the use of translated and dilated basis functions of a mother
wavelet.
A signal f x may be decomposed into detail signals at various scales 2 j and various
locations k with corresponding coefficients d jk and a coarse lowpass component with coefficients
S jk , i.e.,
J
f x d jk jk x S jk jk x

where S is the frequency sensitivity of the human visual system. This is because in the human visual
system, high frequencies are less sensitive and subjective coding involves a de-emphasis of the high
frequency lobes of the wavelet spectrum. For a smooth wavelet which already has very low high
frequency lobes, a de-emphasis of these lobes will not produce much improvement.
IV. Psychovisual Compression of Wavelet Coefficients
It is well known that the human visual system (HVS) has a bandpass sensitivity characteristic
S with a peak sensitivity between 3.0 to 3.5 cycles per degree (cpd). The sensitivity is reduced slightly
at low frequencies but drops off very sharply at the higher frequencies. Therefore low amplitude high
frequency components may be discarded. The visibility of errors is a function of the local luminance
(Webers law) and the local activity of the scene denoted by A f . The later is also known as a spatial
masking effect. Errors are less visible in bright and busy (in term of edges and discontinues) areas of image.
In these areas, coarse quantization may be used resulting in fewer bits per pixel and a better compression.

where K is a proportionality constant to be determined from a subjective viewing of the quality of the

reconstructed image, d jk are wavelet coefficients at subband 2 , and N j is the subband dimension. The
value of K is increased until the level at which a difference between the original image and
reconstructed image is just noticeable by a human viewer. The quantization step size for coefficients
in subband 2 j is given by [10]:

where x is the closet integer value to x. The lowest quantized level is set half a step uniform [9].
V. Simulation Results
The simulation is carried out by the first is to calculate the subband sensitivity for the chosen
wavelet at scale 2 j . The simplest technique to obtain the subband wavelet function j x , y in
equation (8) computationally, is to use inverse wavelet transform followed by a Fourier transform of a

Abstract This paper presents the creative and innovative design of microstrip antenna (MSA) applicable in
mobile station (MS) and base terminal station (BTS) of the WiMAX network 2.5 GHz band, respectively. The
designed antennas were investigated through numerical computation and experimental evaluations. Initially, the
printed MSA was built from the rectangular microstrip antenna (RMSA) model. Advanced modification and
optimisation of the RMSA by diagonally chopping two opposite corners of rectangular structure to be
approximately 1/3 of the length L and 1/3 or 1/2 of the width W, respectively, results the significant alteration of
the antenna characteristics such as patterns, fields distribution and operating frequency. The modified antenna
exhibits the capability to work on dual-bands 2.5 and above 3.5 GHz, respectively. The single printed MSA
provides more than 50 MHz of impedance bandwidth. VSWR at the resonance frequency 2.5 GHz is 1.18. The
linear array of printed MSA is discussed as well.
1. Introduction
The antenna as an important part for enhancing the quality of network services is critical in many wireless
designs. The high quality of constructed antennas installed at a particular wireless terminal unit (i.e. MS or
BTS) is an important aspect to maintain an efficient of RF power radiation or reception. A good antenna
design must be capable to illuminate the maximum RF energy to the intended coverage during the
transmission phase. In the received mode, it must have an excellent sensitivity to capture the RF signals from
the vicinity of the wireless terminal.
A tremendous development of various antenna technologies during the last decade has challenged the
new requirements to employ this wireless part for capable of multifunctional operations. In addition, the
future requirement of the wireless mobile networks includes overall size and weight reduction. Thus, the
fabricated antennas must be low cost and low power consumption, integrated with other parts, compact/
small, and user-friendly [1]. These issues are the main concern of the designers, engineers, practicians, and
professionals in order to achieve the sophisticated design aims. Some wireless applications, such as RFID,
sensor network, wireless medical monitoring, WiMAX, and many more, even require more complex
technical specifications. For instance, the antenna must be able to incorporate with RF circuit lay out or
acting as an internal antenna of some mobile terminals (e.g. PDAs, wireless modem, laptop, and mobile DTV
receiver).
This paper outlines the current progress of the R&D antenna design to be deployed in Indonesia WiMAX
network. This will be set-up throughout the country within the next year. The constructed antenna was built
using the simple and well known approaches by modifying the initial RMSA to suit the specified frequency
operation of WiMAX 2.5 GHz through the numerical computation. This executed by utilising FEM-HFSS
programming. The constructed MSA consists of the single element and a linear array configuration. The
material to fabricate the MSA utilised a double layers PCB which widely available in local market. Despite
the disadvantages of the printed MSA especially constructed using PCB material [2-4], however, the
incorporation of the antenna part into the electronic circuit of WiMAX device can be done straightforwardly
[1]. The production cost can be significantly reduced using this approach. This also may enhance the
efficiency of RF power transmission and reception.

radiating parts will be chopped by approximately 1/3W and 1/6L as shown in Figs.2 (a) and (b), therefore,
the total area of radiating elements removed at these parts is about 1/18WL mm2. The other two corners as
drawn in Figs. 2 (a) and (b) required to remove will be approximately 1/12WL mm2. The impacts of this
antenna modification were found on the shifting of the operation frequency, and the alterations of both
radiation patterns and field distributions.
The electric field intensity slightly alters while the antenna modified from its initial RMSA model to
create the printed MSA model. In this case, E-field varies from 5.7 x10-3 to 2.8 x 103 [V/m] at the first type
and it varies from 2.8 x10-2 to 5.9 x 103 [V/m] on the new model. Meanwhile, at the initial model the
magnetic field intensity varies from 1.2 x10-3 to 1.9 x 102 [A/m] and it varies from 4.1 x10-2 to 1.7 x 102
[A/m] when the model modified.
The significant property variations appear on its frequency operation and radiation pattern while the
radiating structure modified. There is significant alteration on the resonance frequency which is single band
at 2.3 GHz becomes dual bands at 2.5 GHz and above 3.5 GHz, respectively. These resemble that removing
the area of top conducting layer by (5/36)WL mm2 (or 372.2 mm2) will shift the resonance frequency upward
about 300 MHz and generate the new band above 3.5 GHz. Reducing the area of top conducting layer does
not really affect the impedance matching and bandwidth. In overall, at 2.3 and 2.5 GHz the antenna could
provide the same bandwidth of greater than 50 MHz, while at 3.5 GHz it provides the bandwidth greater than
60 MHz. The reflection coefficients at 2.3 and 2.5 GHz, respectively, are excellent to be less than -20 dB.
This S11 value is equivalent to VSWR 1.18.

side lobe and increase the efficient transmission of RF energy. Another important impact of the
antenna reconstruction is on the antenna pattern which becomes wider than before. This contributes
to the larger coverage area.
2.3 Array Configuration of the Printed MSA
The next step of the antenna construction in this research is to combine a number of single MSA
to form an array antenna. The fabricated photograph a 4x1 element array of MSA antenna is shown
in Fig.4. A number of interesting results of this modification were partly published in [2].
3. Experimental Evaluations
The numerical computation using HFSS software has produced a number of interesting antenna
properties including the electric and magnetic field distributions, the radiation pattern, the
impedance bandwidth, S11, and VSWR. Several data from this numerical investigation were
discussed in the previous sections. Both the single and the array elements were examined,
practically. The results from the actual measurements were then compared with the corresponding
simulated parameters. However, in this paper only the performance of an array structure will be
extensively discussed. A number of plots regarding the performance of the designed array MSA are
drawn in Figs.5 (a), (b) and 6.

Fig. 5 illustrates the impedance matching properties of the printed MSA array in terms of the
return loss and VSWR. The printed MSA array has a different point of resonance frequency
between the simulated (2.575 GHz) and the measured ones (2.253, 2.42, and 2.525 GHz,
respectively). At, the S11 threshold level of 10 dB, the designed array obtained from the simulation
provides a very narrow bandwidth. It is approximately 60 MHz. However, the fabricated prototype
of the printed array can provide very large practical impedance bandwidth, totally, more than 2 GHz.
In general, both simulated and measured testings obtain the VSWR value at each resonance
frequency point achieved 2:1.
The simulated and measured pattern properties of the printed MSA array are shown in Fig.6.
These azimuthal patterns represent the capability of MSA array to illuminate better power radiation
into 00 direction (front side). However, the antenna is able to radiate the strong RF signal to other
directions. The different of the maximum and the minimum power is about 40 dB which resemble
very good sensitivity the antenna performs.
4. Conclusions
A typical MS antenna built from the initial RMSA has been demonstrated. Reducing the area of
top conducting layer by approximately 1/6 of the total area of RMSA will affect some antenna
parameters such the operation frequency, the radiation pattern, and the field distributions. The
antenna reconstruction does not really affect the bandwidth, the impedance matching and reflection
coefficient. The main purpose of this antenna modification and size optimisation is solely done to
obtain the most suitable antenna design that working at MS terminal 2.5 GHz. Later on, an array of
single printed MSA was built.
The array configuration of printed MSA itself is potential to be deployed as the BTS antenna in a
particular of WiMAX network. A number of efforts are required to achieve this goal. The extensive
optimization process must be performed to obtain an excellent directional BTS antenna array. The
effort is also required to enlarge the operating frequency around 2.5 GHz and very good shielding
and antenna packaging must be considered to bring the constructed array MSA into the practical
arena.

1. INTRODUCTION
For the last decade, there have been very significant number of wireless applications to measure and to
monitor the environment phenomena [1-3] including the earth quake, the tsunami, the active volcanoes,
flooding, landslide, the building/bridge, and a nuclear reactor. In most cases, the appearance of human being
in these particular locations is the most crucial issues to do the continuous measurement and monitoring.
This is mainly caused due to the real security problem. The similar situation is happening in the medical
applications, for instance, while there are a limited number of nurses working at the night ship but a number
of patients under medical treatment spreading in a large number of rooms. It is hard to imagine that the
hospital could perform the standard requirement of services without any support from the remote wireless
monitoring technologies. Through the utilization of this technology media perhaps a group of nurses/doctors
could be enough to monitor the patient condition, remotely, from a centre computing room of the hospital.
Since its invention there are some great advancements have been gained on the recent R&D of wireless
sensor networks (WSNs) worldwide. In the future, the design of sensor network must have an efficient
power, low cost manufacturing, installation and maintenance, appropriate packaging technology to minimise
the sorrounding materials effects, low environmental impact on the manufacturing process, and required an
optimisation approach on the network design such as the antenna optimisation and the computation
algorithms at both the master and slave units[1-6].
In practical applications, there are several technical difficulties in this area required to be investigated
and to find some comprehensive solutions. In [1], the traditional issues of the sensor network constraint will
be much related to the limited power sources. This is usually exist in the remote mobile sensors where the
network must capable to adapt to their environment, dynamically. One solution of the power issue, the
energy-efficient MAC protocol was proposed [4]. Another main challenging on the wireless sensor
development was concerning its ability to provide good service/signal to a particular area. The coverage
difficulty is a multidimensional issue in the network [5]. Several interesting solutions were investigated to
improve WSNs coverage including the negotiation and resolution strategies to integrate the data, especially,

in applications such as to track the moveable terminals and to handle any obstacles [5]. A proper design of
computation algorithms might have significant influence to improve the network coverage.

II.2 RF Transceiver
All data collected from the sensor array which are connected through the microcontroller must be
transferred to transceiver part (i.e. Xbee Pro). To keep the Xbee Pro chip working properly it must be
supplied with an input voltage Vcc in the range of 2.8-4.3 Volts. In practical implementation, both master and
slave units are supplied with 9 Volts AA battery. To obtain the suitable voltage level for the transceiver unit
therefore the voltage regulator required. LM 317 chip can be used as one option to implement the whole
circuit as shown in Fig.5. Two external resistors, 240 and 394 ohms respectively, are used to act as the
voltage divider. The main function of the transceiver is different between the transmission and reception
modes. In transmit mode, it will transfer the collected data from microcontroller to be suitable for RF energy
transmission to the master unit. However, in receive mode, it converts the RF-reception from master unit into
the message data that will be understand by the local processing and collector unit (i.e. microcontroller and
PC desktop/Laptop). An identical microstrip antenna was mounted on each transceiver unit via separated
SMA connector 50 Ohms.
There are some parameters of XBee PRO must be set up to guarantee this transceiver module can
communicate with other modules. Actually, there are 24 AT commands could be used for this purpose.
However, the most common use of the AT commands, in practical situation, are only five commands. The
usual procedure to set up XBee PRO parameters was described on the following syntax [12]:
request=+++ //open AT Command
response=OK
request=atmy1 //self addressing =1
response=OK
request=atdl2 //transmit address
response=OK
request=atchc // RF channel connection
response=OK
request=atid3328 //Personal Area Network
response=OK
request=atbd3 //Baud rate 3 = 9600bps
response=OK
request=atwr //write in the Xbee memory
response=OK
request=atcn //close AT Command
response=OK

Microcontroller is the most important part in the slave unit. There are various types of microcontroller
that can be utilized to perform as a remote processing unit and data collector. As shown in Fig.2 AT853516PI microcontroller was deployed in the slave unit. The minimum system of this controller is triggered by a
crystal oscillator 11.0592 MHz which combined with 2 pieces capacitor 33 pF. To keep the RST pin of
microcontroller is always in its low logic level during the execution of the controller programming
algorithms the combination of resistor and capacitor may be used and connected to ground. AT8535-16PI
chip is supported by the internal ADC unit to convert the input analog signal (from sensor) into the bit
sequences suitable for transmission in RF transceiver.
To capable for handling various and wide applications the sensor network can have a large number of
sensor nodes (slave units). The configuration of each sensor node design is depending on the type of the
data/information collected. The preliminary construction of the sensor network only a limited number of
sensor devices was used i.e. temperature and light sensor devices. The main goal of this design step is to test

whether the whole sensor networks working properly or not. This is also intended to check the quality of the
computing algorithms not only in the slave unit but also at the master unit. Each sensor node consists of four
main units, i.e. power supply (AA battery 9 Volts and IC regulator AN7805), remote data processing unit
(microcontroller AT8535 16PI), RF transceiver part (Xbee Pro), and sensor array.

Figure 6 shows the flow diagram of the computation algorithms incorporated in the master unit. After a
short period of time it turned-on, the master unit performs the self initialization (individual reconfigurability).
This is followed by generating the interrogation messages. These messages are then transmitted via the RF
transceiver system to reach the slave units (sensor nodes). Each sensor node will be interrogated sequentially.
Any data responses from these nodes will be automatically plotted on the PC/Laptop monitor. If there is no
response detected the master will send the next messages and wait the sensor node response. In this stage,
there is no change on the monitor display until the next response arrived.
4. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
To visualize/display the collected data/information from several sensor networks, the monitor of PC
desktop or Laptop is used. This device is connected to Xbee-PRO module via RS232 and MAX232.
MAX232 itself is used to balance the voltage level from the sensor module and computer pheripheral. The
software program used to display the received data is X-CTU software. The real protoype of both master
and slaves units are shown in Figs. 8 and 9, respectively.

The experimental investigation related to the performance of the constructed WSNs consisting of one
master unit and two slave units was done in both LOS and NLOS environment at Tamalanrea Campus,
Universitas Hasanuddin. LOS environment in this testing was carried out on the football yard where there
was no obstacles between the master and slaves units. Experimental testing under NLOS conditions were
assumed that environment may be close to the high building, in the forest area, indoor building and along
the university road.
In term of the coverage service, the sensor network connection can approach the distance 200 meter
between the master and slaves, in LOS condition. However, for NLOS situation the networks can cover the
area of 50 meter radius. In case by considering some obstacles exist in the network such as high building
with various thickness the testing shown the interesting results. If the thickness less than 15 cm the radius of
sensor networks coverage can approach the distance up to 30 meter. If thickness > 15 cm the distance is only
about 15 meter.

5. CONCLUSIONS
The construction of a typical WSNs prototype has been discussed. Its potential applications can be found
in various area of study including wireless environment monitoring, telemedical applications (i.e.
electrocardiograph), and robotic application with wireless control capability. The performance of WSNs may
varies depending on some factors such as the wireless environment variations (LOS or NLOS), the electronic
sensor device sensitivity, the antenna and electronic circuits construction, RF feeding techniques and the
computation algorithms. To improve the WSNs performance further development of this research must
maintain all those constraint factors.

1. Introduction
Remote patient monitoring is rapidly growing area of research with technological growth in Wireless Sensor
Networks. There are several challenges present in this type of research domain. One of the principle
concerns in this domain is bandwidth availability in remote areas and scarce power resources of Wireless
Sensor Networks [1]. In case of remote geographies reliable connectivity of network plays important role in
network based applications. But looking at near future policies for network expansion in Australia will boost
availability of bandwidth in remote areas [2]. This expansion will provide big advantage to network based
applications. But still limitations of power in wireless sensor network demands special approach to design
ad-hoc network to tranceive signals from them. Apart from technological limitations limited availability of
medical staff to take update of patients with long term illness creates new challenge. In this case
Telemedicine application with special heuristic to measure and visualize the patient routine health can be an
answer. This paper presents a solution based on an ad-hoc wireless network and an algorithm to monitor
patterns of patient's health. System architecture of the solution based on Service Oriented Architecture (SoA)
is proposed to work in a distributed environment. This architecture includes Wireless Sensor module,
Computer Vision Module and Visualization and analysis module. Wireless Sensor Network module monitors
patient health parameters periodically and checks for any possible health deterioration. The Computer
Vision module is provided to establish a person to person communication between medical staff and patient
remotely. The Visualization module visualizes trends and patterns of patient health parameters for
understanding of medical staff.
Following sections of paper provides details on previous related research for same domain, proposed
solution for remote patient monitoring, experimental work and conclusions.
2. Previous Research
This section outlines fundamental literature behind proposed research area. Here basic and brief discussion
on Telemedicine, Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) and Surveillance is conducted.
2.1 Telemedicine in practice
Telemedicine [3] is a branch of medical science in which a patient is diagnosed and treated for a disease
from a remote location. Due to the current rapid developments in Telecommunication, Internet and
Computer hardware advancement, it is possible to receive measurement data with low power signals
measured from patient body and send emergency treatment measures to the patient's mobile or a PC. Thus,
telemedicine gives treatment to the patients which are located in remote places. It avoids cost to the patient
and time for the medical professional to travel to the patient. . Recent developments in Wireless Sensor
Network technology provides low cost wireless sensor units for measuring patient health parameters.

rehabilitiation [6], Telemedicine Monitoring [7], Movement Analysis in physiotherapy [8] and many more.
Thus Wireless Sensor has already started playing big role in Telemedicine applications and can be feasible
for a long term solution.

intelligent enough to analyse the symptoms and communicate the emergency measures only in case of high
priority situations.
Wireless sensors monitor the different parameters like temperature, pressure of the patients body. Wireless
Body Area Network uses IEEE 802.15 TG 6 standard. The initial communication is in between the wireless
sensor(s) and the sensor gateway. The wireless sensor and the sensor gateway act a single unit; the wireless
sensors providing the raw data to the sensor gateway and the gateway collecting the data from various
wireless sensors. The neuro-fuzzy logic algorithm is executed by the application that collects the data from
the sensor gateway. Tangible and conclusive results can be provided by appropriate web-services that can
be accessed over the internet by the central monitoring server.
A Web-Service can serve as an independent unit to provide its service of the requested parameter from the
client. It can be implemented using Microsoft .NET service framework or Enterprise Java Beans using Java
Technology specifications. Since web-services can be accessed over the internet geographically from any
part on the globe with internet connectivity the patient data can be accessed by the central monitoring server
over the internet. The central monitoring server is accessible to the medical professionals and counsellors.
Thus the medical information of the patients can be visualized on the screen visually.
In case of individual pairs of sensor network cluster and sensor gateway, Secured Socket Layer [SSL]
technology would encrypt the data to reliably transmit it to the Central Monitoring System. In case of bunch
of wireless sensor clusters say in case of hospital chains or clinics a virtual private network (VPN) would be
the best way to associate the hospital/clinic chains with the central monitoring system. Securing the data
over the internet is a major challenge and it can be taken care of using the VPNs. To tackle the reliability of

the critical data monitoring to happen over distance apart in the central monitoring room a virtual-private
network (VPN) will give the security and reliability of the sensitive data being transferred on the internet.
To tackle the performance throughput of the virtual private network the internet service provider can tag the
(VPN) in gold class of service to high prioritize and reliably transmit the data. A VPN creates secured
tunnels of internet connectivity between computer networks of two or more geographical locations. In our
case it is can be branches of the same hospital or clinic geographically apart.
5. Conclusion
The work done so far proposes the conceptual design and discusses a case study for implementing this design.
In this work we apply a simple design with the available network and internet connectivity standards using
WBAN standard and web-services using .NET technology. A concept of the infrastructure has been put
forth. To refine this work further, more specialized approach is required for diagnosis using more specific
sensors for specific symptoms. In future a feedback loop from the fuzzy-controller to the patient monitoring
system can be given to provide assistance in case of trivial suggestions when medical practitioner is not
available. In case of emergencies the fuzzy controller will be bypassed and the data will be fed to the central
monitoring server and receive the necessary medical consultancy from the medical experts.

Abstract
Mobile WiMAX system in Indonesia operates at 2,3 GHz frequency by using Time Division
Duplex (TDD) technology. In TDD, the transmitter and the receiver use the same single frequency
band. In TDD, thing that must be considered is the separation between the transmitted signals with
the received signals. The function of the coupler in RF WiMAX is to separate the transmitted signal
to the received signal. At the branch line coupler there are two equal output values with the phase
difference of 90. The phase difference is used as the separator between the transmitter and the
receiver. In this paper, a microstrip branch line coupler with a T-Junction will be designed which is
operated at 2,3 GHz frequency with two equal output values of - 3dB and 90 phase differences. In
here also the length and width for each impedance line of the microstrip branch line coupler using
FR4 substrate with a dielectric constant of 4,6 and a thickness of 1,6 mm are calculated. It is shown
from the results that the microstrip branch line coupler operates at 2,300 GHz, the output port on
port 2 is ? 2,754 dB and at port 3 is 3,298 dB, phase shift between the two output is 90,038, the
return loss is -30,689 dB, the isolation is -31,185 dB, the VSWR is 1,060, and the bandwidth is 200
MHz.

Abstract - This paper discusses the making of a short text compression application to increase the number of
characters in short text message service using arithmetic compression algorithm. Due to Java 2 Mobile
Edition specifications limitation, this application is not integrated with the built-in short text application on
the mobile phone. The application is developed based on Java 2 Mobile Edition technology and it could be
installed on a mobile phone that supports MIDP 2.0 and CLDC 1.1. The experimental results revealed that
the percentage of message compression as well as decompression process is strongly influenced by the use of
characters in accordance with a predetermined probability level. It is also showed that this application,
compare with normal short text capability, could send up to 176, 341 and 517 characters for a single, double
and triple short text delivery respectively.
Keywords: short text compression, arithmetic coding, mobile phone
1. Introduction
The use of mobile phone as a means of communication and information has become an important need.
Apart from being used as a voice communications device, mobile phones are widely used for sending short
text message. This short text message has become a favourite service as it has considerably cheaper cost
rather than voice communication.
In general, a short text message consists of text with a size equal or less than 160 characters for each delivery.
If the customers would like to send more than 160 characters then they have to pay it as a multiplication of
160 characters. For example, a message with 161 characters would be calculated as 2 messages. Therefore,
this project was initiated in order to address that limitation and hopefully could give benefits to the mobile
phone customers.

Arithmetic Coding Algorithm is one of the examples of lossless compression algorithm. In this algorithm, a
string of characters would be represented using a fixed number [3]. Similar to Huffman coding algorithm, a
frequently used character would be stored with fewer bits and the other way round in order to keep the total
bits lower. However, arithmetic coding implements a different method in terms of encode the process.
Unlike Huffman algorithm which separates the input into component and replaces it with code, the full string
is encodes using Arithmetic algorithm into a single number between 0 and 1 [4,5]. The flowchart of coding
and decoding process in Arithmetic algorithm could be seen in Figure 1 and Figure 2.

3. Application Design
Compression process will convert the message into a single code. This single code is a set of numbers
obtained from calculations based on the possibility of occurrence of each letter that is predetermined.
Messages that are typed in the TextBox will be collected and stored in the message string and will be
processed to obtain a single code before it is sent to the recipient. The process of encoding or compression is
to use a static table that has been determined. In the table there are 90 characters that may appear in the
message together with its probabilities. These characters are the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and 28 additional
characters such as @, &, * and so forth.
String of message typed in the textbox will be calculated starting from the first characters until the last
character using the probability value. The probability values are ranging from 0 to 1 with a variety of each
different character. After being calculated through the last character, a single code will be displayed. That
code number, in the double data type, is sent to the recipient as a string message.
Decompression process performed by taking a string of messages sent and separating the first code that
indicates the number of characters in the message and the second code is the code that will show the
character message sent. Decompression process uses a table that has been determined. Block diagram of the
process is carried out in Figure 3.

This test is expected to know the maximum number of characters that can be sent each time it send short text
message. As it is widely known, a normal short text message could send maximum 160 characters, while 2
and 3 short text message could deliver maximum 320 and 480 characters, respectively.
The mobile phone used in this test is using prepaid scheme. Therefore, as part of verification process, before
and after each test the amount of mobile phone credit is checked. The purpose of this stage is to see how
much credit has been used. The experimental test result is shown in Table 1.

It can be seen from the Table 1, the application is able to increase short text capacity up to 16 characters or
capable to send as many as 176 characters compare with the original number of characters that can be sent in
a normal text message, 160 characters.
In contrast with standard long text message, for instance: sending 2 short text messages continuously which
is 320 characters maximum, this application can send up to 341 characters. While in the experiment of
sending 3 messages in a row, the number of characters sent is increased up to 517 characters from just 480
characters in standard short text message delivery.

5. Conclusions
1. Due to Java 2 Mobile Edition specifications, this application could not access the mobile phone built-in
inbox.
2. Compare with the number of characters sent on normal short text delivery, this application could send up
to 176 characters on a single SMS delivery, 341 characters for sending two short text message and 517
characters on 3 short text message delivery.

Abstract
Query by Singing/Humming (QBSH) is a most natural way for music recognition. A QBSH system can help find songs
by matching a part of melody users sing or hum. Many Music Information Retrieval (MIR) techniques have been used to
carry out the QBSH goal. In this paper the goal is set to the Meaan Reciprocal Rank (MRR). The built system utilizes
autocorrelation function for pitch tracking. It also employs Hidden Markov Model as matching engine. Two influencing
parameters i.e. Duration and Gender are investigated for best performances in MRR.
1. Introduction
Distribution of music collection in digital format is very common today. With digital format, music
can be organized, collected and created in playlist with ease. The trend has effect in the increase of digital
music transactions. Nowadays, a song provider or distributor can have millions of music collection. Hence, a
proper way to handle abundant of titles need to be studied. The technology of managing those music
database is lately known as Music Information retrieval (MIR).
Consequently, the music information retrieval and then start getting the spotlight. Chai Wei [1] was
interested in making an application system with Internet-based music retrieval. Wei, in his thesis, making a
song based on melody retrieval system as an input query. Melody that is used as input is the humming made
by the user to the proficiency level in these systems. The query than match to the database to find a song that
has some similarities with those inputs. The system is then known as Query by Singing / Humming
In [1], the similarity of the input melody with the database is calculated based on the Euclidean
distance, cosine similarities, Longest common sub-sequence (LCS), Longest Common consecutive of subsequence (LCCS) and modified LCS. Jang et.al. [2] has proposed Hidden Markov model as matching engine
and showed that system worked better in accordance with the number of database. Furthermore in HMM,
Helen et.al. [3] conducted research on similarities using the probability function features. However, most
research in QbSH made use of western or Chinese songs as database. Hence in this research, a QbSH model
is made for Dangdut (Indonesian Ethnic Songs) under HMM Model.
The paper is organized as follows. Section 2 describes proposed the process of MIDI database
collection, pitch tracking and matching engine used in this paper. Section 3 presents the QbSH system design
for simulation. Experimental results given in Section 4 and conclusion are drawn in Section 5.

several lyrics or some part of melodies. In QbSH system, the query (humming/singing) is matched with the
song database based on its melodies, then the system will provide a ranking of the closest melodies with
songs that referred to in the first rank. The purpose of ranking is given instead of only one candidate to
anticipate when there are multiple versions of existing tracks or songs that have similar melodies.
2.3.
Matching Engine
Pitch tracking technique was used to obtain the fundamental frequency of hummed queries by the
users. While the representation of a melody to match queries on the database is tracked using the Matching
Engine. There are several methods that can be used to match the melody representation. Generally used
methods are Dynamic Time Wrapping (DTW), Hidden Markov Model (HMM), Linear Scaling (LS), Note
Interval Matching and N-Gram Matching.
In this paper HMM is used as matching engine. HMM is utilize due to its error resistance. Several
error that may occur when taking the query from users are a fast tempo of query, tempo variation, and the
appropriateness of fundamental query. Several other beneficial of using HMM method are the high level of
accuracy and shorter matching process.

In stage 2, all these monophonic files are then stored in a single file in a line matrix form of 1xN
where N shows the number of monophonic MIDI collection. A MIDI toolbox is used in this process taken
from Ken Schutte [4]. In this paper Dangdut songs are used and can be downloaded freely in
www.indowebster.com . From the huge amount of polyphonic MIDI downloaded only 15 MIDI files can be
converted to monophonic that is contain vocal channel.

Till now, the system is still far from a perfect QbSH, Therefore, the results are often displayed still in the
form of a list of best results that close to the query. The MUSART define a value that states QbSH results
using various methods. This value is the mean reciprocal rank (MRR), which formulated as follows[8]:
1 n 1
MRR
n i 1 ri
(2)
where, ri is the rank of precise query to-i for a number of times queries taken (n).
4. Simulation Results
The system is tested by comparing the melody representation (pitch) between the singing queries and the
songs from the database. As mention previously the songs in the database are in MIDI format. Hence all
pitch from queries are converted to semitone before the comparison. Unfortunately there is a quite difference
of pitch range between queries and database. The range of semitone in the queries is 50-70 while in database
the value varied from 69 to 85. To cope this situation, a normalisation is conducted. The normalisation taken
by divided each pitch with the total energy. Table 1 shows the results of having normalisation before
comparison.

This paper accommodates two variables of how the QbSH system work best which are the influence of
gender and the length of input duration. The queries are taken from 3 males and 3 females without musical

popular/familiar songs to the users. The result is shown in figure 3.

Table 2 shows the comparison of pitch from 3 selected songs. It can bee seen that females pitch has a
closer value to the MIDI pitch in database than males. This validates the reason of females have better MRR
than males. This should not become an issue if all user can sing on the right pitch which might be difficult
for amateur singers.
Another parameter that observed in this paper is the influence of input duration to better performance
(MRR). Two option of duration, 5 and 10 seconds are implemented in the query system. Naturally, the
longer duration should have closer outlook to the database. However, performances in QBSH system not
only based on how close the system shows the song desired but also on how fast the system response to the
query. Faster response can be achieve by shortened the queries which accordingly lesser the processing time.

5. Conclusions
A Query by Singing/Humming system has been built for Dangdut songs. Two influencing parameters,
gender and duration, are explained in this paper. Somewhat the queries from the singers have lower pitch
than MIDI database. This inevitably cause the female queries have better performance compare to males
queries. The input duration also contribute to system performance that the longer the queries will have
better recognition. Several normalization methods might be investigated for further research and addition
of collection for database and queries would give improved precision of results.

1. Introduction
Future ubiquitous networks will consist of various wireless network technologies and mobile users
need an ubiquitous connectivity over heterogeneous wireless technologies. Recently, mobile WiMAX (IEEE
802.16e) has gained serious attention as a means of providing wireless broadband access to mobile users in a
wide area, and it provides QoS for various applications. On the other hand, Wireless LAN (WLAN,
IEEE802.11a/b/g/n) has been the dominant wireless technology and is extensively deployed today to provide
high data rates in a limited area. Therefore, in the near future, since WLAN and WiMAX networks are
intermingled while complementing each other, a mobile node (MN) will be likely to execute many
handovers (HOs) between WLAN and WiMAX networks with different IP subnets.
Meanwhile, there is a huge demand for Voice over IP (VoIP) service over wireless networks. However,
delivering VoIP over wireless has many challenges because VoIP is a delay and packet loss sensitive
application. In a mobile and wireless environment, typically, two main factors degrade VoIP quality over the
wireless network: (1) degradation of wireless link quality and (2) wireless network congestion. First, because
an MN moves freely, the communication quality degrades due to inherent instability of the wireless link
condition. Second, as VoIP is a bi-directional communication, an AP of WLAN and a base station (BS) of
WiMAX become a bottleneck with the increase of VoIP calls.
In this paper, we propose HO schemes for both WLAN-WLAN and WLAN-WiMAX networks. We propose
an end-to-end HO scheme for VoIP considering the wireless link condition and congestion state of network.
The proposed HO schemes aims to preserve VoIP call quality during HO. This paper first describes the HO
triggers for WLAN and WiMAX and followed by HO algorithms for WLAN-WLAN and WLAN-WiMAX
with the simulation experiments to verify the effectiveness of our proposed HO schemes.
2. Handover Triggers
HO trigger plays an important role in deciding and executing HO in order to maintain on-going
session while HO. We need some HO triggers indicating the condition of wireless link and congestion state
of network. From reference [1] [2] and [3], we found that request to send (RTS) retries and RTT between AP
and MN (W-RTT) for WLAN as well as Carrier-to-Interference-plus-Noise-Ratio (CINR) and MN interface
buffer queue length for WiMAX can be significant HO triggers to indicate the wireless network condition.
In terms of HO triggers for indicating congestion state of WLAN, Fig. 1(a) shows the relationship among WRTT, AP queue length and mean opinion score (MOS). Note that, in this study, we use MOS [4] for
assessing VoIP quality and MOS > 3.6 indicate an adequate VoIP call quality. From Fig. 1(a), we can see
that W-RTT < 200 ms satisfies an adequate VoIP quality. On the other hand, Fig. 1(b) shows the
characteristic of HO triggers for indicating the wireless link condition of WiMAX, i.e., RTS retry ratio. From

the figure, we can see that RTS retry increases as increase of distance between AP and MN and RTS retry
ratio < 0.6 indicate the adequate VoIP call quality. Therefore, we can set the RTS retry ratio of 0.6 as a
threshold (RTS_Thr) as well as W-RTT of 200 ms as a threshold (W-RTT_Thr) for initiating HO in WLAN.

transmission, on the other hand, means that an MN sends duplicated packets to a CN through two IFs for
supporting soft-HO.
3.1. HO Algorithms
Figure. 3(a) shows an algorithm of switching to single/multi-path transmission when an MN moves into an
overlap area of two APs (AP1 and AP2). An MN associated with two APs transmits a probe packet to both
APs at 500 ms intervals to estimate AP queue length of each AP. If both W-RTT values are below an WRTT threshold (W-RTT_thr), an MN detects that both APs are not congested. Then, the MN investigates the
RTS frame retry rate of the current (single) active IF since its movement also affects wireless link condition.
If the RTS frame retry ratio reaches a retry ratio threshold of single-path (R_Sthr), an HM switches to multipath mode to investigate the wireless link condition of both IFs as well as supporting soft-HO. On the other
hand, if the W-RTT of AP1 reaches W-RTT_thr, i.e., detection of congestion at AP1, an MN switches to the
AP2 directly without switching to multi-path mode because multi-path mode may cause more serious
congestion in WLANs. Finally, if both measured W-RTTs reach W-RTT_thr, an MN then investigates the
wireless link condition by using the RTS frame retry ratio of the active single IF.

In multi-path transmission, to maintain VoIP quality, an MN sends the same data packets to both IFs. Hence,
the MN needs to switch back to single-path transmission as soon to prevent redundant network overload. As
shown in Fig. 7, an algorithm of switching to single-path transmission works as follows. An MN measures
W-RTTs of both APs at all times. If either of the W-RTTs is below the W-RTT_thr, the MN switches to an
IF with the smaller W-RTT. If both W-RTTs are simultaneously below the W-RT T_thr, the
MN
then
compares the RTS frame retry rate of both IFs. Figure. 8 shows an algorithm to compare RTS frame retry
ratios of both IFs. If both frame retry ratios of the IFs are equal, the MN continues multi-path mode. On the
other hand, if either of the frame retries is below the ratio threshold of multi-path (R Mthr), the MN switches
to single-path mode through the IF with the smaller frame retry ratio.
4.1.Handover Algorithms
Figure 5 shows an algorithm of switching to multi- path transmission when an MN is located in an overlap
area of WLAN and WiMAX (AP and BS). Basically, our algorithm first examines the wireless link condition
by observing RTS retry of WLAN IF and mean CINR level of WiMAX IF. After that it examines the
congestion state of wireless network by observing W-RTT of WLAN IF and MN queue length of WiMAX

IF. For example, when the initial transmission path of an MN is via WLAN IF, the HM monitors the RTS
retry ratio to detect the wireless link quality. If the RTS retry ratio exceeds threshold RTS_THR (0.6), the
MN switches transmission paths to multi-path mode; otherwise, it examines W-RTT to detect the congestion
of WLAN network. If W-RTT exceeds threshold RTT_THR (200 ms), the MN switches transmission path to
multi- path mode; otherwise, it stays in single-path mode via WLAN IF. When the initial transmission path
of the MN is via WiMAX IF, the HM monitors downlink CINR level to detect the wireless link quality. If
CINR level is less than CINR_THR (26 dB), the MN switches transmission paths to multi-path mode;
otherwise, it examines the MN queue length MN QL to detect the congestion of WiMAX network. If
MN_QL exceeds the threshold QL_THR (12,000 bytes), the MN switches transmission path to multi-path
mode; otherwise, it stays in single-path mode via WiMAX IF.

5. Conclusion
In this paper, we have proposed HO scheme for VoIP over WLANs networks as well as intermingled
WLAN and WiMAX networks. The HM is implemented on the transport layer of the MN and obtains
effective HO triggers from the lower layer using a cross-layer approach. The HM exploits RTS retries and
W-RTT of the WLAN as well as CINR level and MN queue length of the WiMAX as HO triggers. Our
proposed method aims to preserve VoIP quality during HO between networks with different IP subnets. Our
simulation results show that our proposed HO scheme can preserve VoIP call quality during HO.

1. Introduction
The design of a circularly-polarized microstrip antenna subarray intended for use in circularlypolarized synthetic aperture radar (CP-SAR) systems operated in L-Band is presented. The CP-SAR sensor is
a new sensor for Earth observation applications, with the advantage of sensitive measurements on Earth
object characteristics, providing greater amount of information than conventional linear-polarization systems.
Microstrip antenna has the advantages of lightweight, low profile, and low volume, as well as the relatively
low fabrication cost [1]. In spite of its narrow bandwidth and low gain, microstrip antenna is a suitable
choice for airborne SARs. The subarray is the essential component that will compose the full array CP-SAR
antenna. The full antenna, in turn, will be implemented on an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) CP-SAR,
currently under development in the Microwave Remote Sensing Laboratory, Chiba University. The array
antenna requirements are (i) broad-band input impedance, (ii) sufficient Axial Ratio bandwidth, (iii) a
cosecant-squared beam pattern [2] in the elevation plane (E-plane), (iv) a pencil beam [2] in the azimuth
plane (H-plane), (v) relatively good gain and (vi) low cross polarization levels. There are a number of
technical challenges in achieving such specifications required for the CP-SAR sensor. The subarray is
comprised of CP microstrip elements. The microstrip element is an elliptical patch antenna [3] which is
radiating circularly-polarized wave. A single proximity-coupling method is applied for feeding the antenna
element. The subarray design will involve the right spacing between elements in order to minimize the
mutual coupling and to achieve the required pattern. A well-matched feeding system [4] is also indispensable
for the implementation of the dual-polarized circularly-polarized subarray system.
2. Antenna Parameter
The configuration of the radiating element, together with the microstrip line feed and ground plane,
is shown in Fig. 1(a), where important parameters are labeled. The dimensions of the radiator and the ground
plane for the elliptical patches are a = 46.1 mm, b = 43.8 and la lr = 540 225 mm. Spacing between
elements is s = 140 mm. Side view is depicted in Fig. 1(b). The geometry model is implemented on two
substrates, each with thickness t = 1.6 mm, conductor thickness tc 0.035 mm, relative permittivity r =
2.17 and dissipation factor 0.0005. The parameters of the microstrip line feed are l1 = 48 mm, l2 = 49 mm, l3
= 11 mm, l4 = 36 mm, l5 = 10 mm, d = 10 mm, w1 = 3, w2 = 8, w3 = 5, w4 = 8, and w5 = 5. With the width of
the microstrip line feed of 5 mm, the characteristic impedance is approximately 29.9 .
The radiator will generate LHCP by rotating the patch by -45o around the center of the patch.
Simulations with a finite-ground-plane model have been undertaken to optimize the size parameters using a
full-wave analysis tool (IE3D Zeland software) based on the method of moment (MoM) algorithm. A 1 4

1. Introduction
Technology advancement in the area of robotics has a tremendous impact factor in shaping humans
civilization, from industrial to domestic applications. Two elements of the robotics development supporter
are majorly from the implementation of artificial intelligence into the robot mechanisms, and the
development of electronic technology, including sensors, actuators and computers.
From engineering perspective, robot can be divided into three major elements, controller, sensors and
actuators. Actuators, for instance, have been developed for many years and electric motor-based actuators is
the most favourable one to be used around the robot hobbyist, yet some industrial-based robots are built with
this typical actuator.
Various types of motors, particularly, DC motors have been developed and marketed. Recent motor
technology achievement is the integration of processors and sensors hence increases the motor capabilities.
Dynamixel motors, which are developed and introduced by a Korean robot company, ROBOTIS [12], for
instance, has integrated a reduction gear mechanism, a microcontroller-based processor, temperature and
speed sensors, into one mechanism connected in one bus system [8]. For communication, this motor supports
half-duplex serial communication, which in turn reduces the wiring to the motors.
As this motor has its own protocol system, this paper introduces an approach that can be used to synchronise
with this protocol. The proposed mechanism is embedded into a mobile robot called Junior which utilises
two dynamixel motors as the actuator. This project stresses on the monitoring capability and the simplicity in
the hard-wiring of motors. These objectives contribute to the reliability of the monitoring system and, at the
same time promote the aesthetic value of the robot physical appearance.

3. Velocity Conversion
By referring to [7], liner velocity is defined as the comparison of the distance taken for a material to
travel to the elapsed time. The mathematical deduction equation can be formulated as follows:
v r .Equation 1
where v is the linear velocity (m/s), is the angular velocity (1/s), r is the radius of the wheel (m)
4. Related Works
This work is an integrated research part of the research effort to be carried out in the Department of
Electrical Engineering; University of Hasanuddin with an early work is reported in [1]. The work utilises dc
motor as the mobile robot actuator and the research focused on how the robot reacts to various conditions set
by sensor activation timing. There were no a monitoring system available for the robot and the wiring was
complicated as the copper cable used to connect the motors to the main controller.
Some works are reported in [13] which have utilised dynamixel-based motor type. In that reports, some
research are carried out by personal, robot hobbyists, and some are from companies and educational
institutions. Another work is carried out by a cognitive research group at the University of Technology
Sydeny [2] in which they developed the cognitive aspect of a bear robot actuated by dynamixel-based
actuators. Currently, there is no any available report on research on dynamixel-based robot actuator in
Indonesia. Hence, this paper brings forward this idea to be implemented into a mobile robot actuator
mechanism named Junior mobile robot.
The coming sections will explain in details of the robot design along with the experiment stages and the
analysis of the results.

It can be inferred from the figure above that the data length appeared in the data bus remained the same for
the two-mode of data operation, transmit and receive mode.
The two-wheel driven mechanism is implemented by attaching the two motors at the rears of the robot and
one free-wheel at the front to direct the moving of the robot. The 3D graphic design can be illustrated in Fig.
2.
6. Experiment Process
The sequences of experiments are set up to meet the goal, i.e. to analyse the relationship between
the moving speed which is taken from the moving speed register and the measured speed on the dynamixel
motors. This goal is achieved through analysing the comparison of three different distance assignments
theoretically and practically. The stages of the experiments are arranged as follows:
1. The Junior mobile robot is assigned to three different speed settings by changing the values of the moving
speed register according to motor setting register table as shown in Table 1, below.

Figure 3: Comparison of the Moving Speed Register and the Angular Velocity the Motors
It can be seen from the figure above that with the 500-decimal value of the moving register, the resulting
speed is around 23 rpm. By doubling the value of this register, the achieved speed is around 44 rpm, almost
twice the previous speed. Hence, the value of the moving speed register inside the motor processor has a
linear relationship to the speed of the motor.

8. Conclusions
The study on the implementation of dynamixel motor-based actuator promotes the easy installation
process and with the internal processor, the speed of motor can be monitored. Besides, some other internal
sensors are also available, by which contributes the monitoring system capability.
As the Junior mobile robot is only driven by two dynamixel motors, the wiring is lesser compared to the
other standard DC motors. For motor driver expansion, the wiring remain the same as it just apply the same
principle.
With these early achievements, the future work will dedicate to the implementation of cognitive aspects into
the Junior mobile robot, particularly by incorporating a more dynamic environment to the experiments.

1. INTRODUCTION
Manufacture industries situated in east Indonesian region are dominated by solid material
based industry such as copper and gold, mining, cement, flour processing and packing industry,
tinning tuna industry, etc. East Indonesia region has 72,9 % of Indonesia metal mining [5]. Beside
that, local industry engineer seems hard to know the fast growing of control system technology
because they trust contractor for giving training program. Actually the training is only a method not
science based program. The miniature industry used for modelling the measurement is a miniature
for process control of solid material based industry (Andani Dissertation, 2010)
The easiest way to identify process control loop is by identifying and showing these
elements i.e. process, measurements, evaluations, and control element. [1]
In education world, there are many vendors yielding experimental modul, i.e. Level and
Flow Training System 38-001, Temperature Training System 38-002, Pressure Training System
38-003, pH Training System 38-003 and Industrial Process Fault Finding Training System 34-250.
Feedback Instrument Limited [2] from UK is a process control using software for computer control,
data acquisition, and data management. Tools produced for the education and training are Process
Control Unit for pH, Flow, Temperature, Level and Pressure Control System Edibon from Italy [3].
These companies produce process control tools for industry and the tools were produced using DCS
technology and Advanced process Control (APC) such as Boiler Drum Heat-Exchanger PCTS, Gas
Flow, Pressure, gas temperature and gas pressure PCTS Syntek Group from Malaysia [4].
For simplification on understanding a control system, sometimes it needs to visualize the
control system into a general model i.e. physical and math model.
An important concept in designing a model depends on what is the mission, so it will be
used properly [8].

2. RESEARCH METHOD
In this research, we use modelling and simulation method which consist of
a. Introducing disturbance of input variables. There are no limitations in disturbance but the output
effect must be bigger for allowing identification of a model.
b. Collecting input and output data which doesnt need stability in the end of the experiment
c. Measuring model parameter such as level, temperature and mositure.

5 litre sand (equivalent with level 169.3528 cm) with initial moisture 5.8 % without
addition water move to silo 2 while kiln 1, kiln2, cooler and blower are still inactive. Valve on silo
2 is closed first and then opened on 10th minute. The measurement of silo 1 is shown in the
following chart
From the chart it is seen that the silo start filled after a few delay about 2 minute 2 seconds
and then continuosly increase until silo 2 valve is opened then it will start to decrease and tends to
approximately constant on height level 134.68 mm which equal to 3.2 litrse.
According to temperature measurement, it is seen that whenever the material are still in silo
2 the temperature remain constant to the material initial temperature, that is 260 C. But when the
silo is empty the measured temperature shows the silo temperature, 280 C.
Moisture chart basically has the same concept with the temperature. When there is no
material in the silo the moisture is 0% and when there is material in the silo the moisture is 5.8 %.

Math model synthesized by Matlab Simulink consist of two silo, 2 belt and cup conveyer, 2
heater kiln, and cooler.
There are 3 scenarios that can be simulated through this modelling measuring heigth or volume
level, moisture, and temperature not only in silo but also in kiln and cooler.
The measurement result show that by numerical method it can be calculate the time for the
material move from silo 1 to silo 2 i.e. 17 minutes and 6 seconds (scenario 1), and the time for
the material to do one cycle from silo 1 to silo 2 and back to silo 1 again is 19 minutes and 8
seconds (scenario 2) while there are 0.127 litre of material outside the silos, and also moisture
and temperature variation which show 5.86% and 26.20C resepectively.
Recommendation
1. This simulation and modelling can be upgraded by adding automatically controller with
some disturbances
2. The measurement result of the simulation can be used as a reference on measurement result
of the minature controller industry

1. Introduction
Machine vision has many applications in industrial automation and covers the full range of technical
difficulty in computer vision [1]. The system is developed by integrating multi disciplinary subjects such as
computer science, optics, electrical engineering, software engineering and industrial automation. This
including image acquisition devices, artificial intelligent for image processing software, computer, and
actuator such as robotics arms to dissociate rejected and accepted products if intolerable defect detected.
In the manufacturing process there are several cases that cannot handle by experts. First time new
kind of product is going to be mass produced, few parts should be sampled to confirm whether
manufacturing process running properly or not. While inspection begins, the manufacturing process is still
running to produce parts. Product which has certain degree of complexity such as automotive part, takes a lot
of time to be inspected since experts measure point by point and filling the quality inspection list. If the
result confirms that the parts being produced is out of standard, then the production process will be stopped.
At the time, there will be hundreds or thousands defect parts that had been produced. This will be an
unwanted situation for any manufacturing industry.
The other case has illustration as follow, since the
market increase then productivity process should be improved to reach the target market. Although human
approach is very smart for inspecting products but it is not possible for increasing the productivity speed.
This caused by the limitation of human eyes, low speed movement, illness, boring and human error. Besides,
there are available technological tools for increasing quality control by using machine vision approach.
Although machine vision is a powerful tool and effective for industry as well as described in many literatures
but the cost is very expensive. The cost has range from USD 30,000 up to USD 200,000 or even more [2].

There are a lot of methods and techniques that have been developed by researchers to apply machine
vision in industrial application. Most of them are specific depend on the application. A better understanding
of methods that employed machine vision in industrial application can be obtained by considering several
samples.
Control a manufacturing process (e.g., for guiding robot arms placing components on printed
circuits, painting surfaces etc.).
Propagated to other external devices (e.g., through a network or other type of interface like
FireWire) for further processing (e.g., classification).
Characterize defects of faulty items and take actions for reporting and correcting these faults and
replacing or removing defective parts from the production line.
The requirements for the design and development of a successful machine vision system vary
depending on the application domain and are related to the tasks to be accomplished, environment, speed
etc.

4. Discussion
Human approach is effective for confirming quality of press parts even there are list of disadvantages
as described above. However, performing inspection task using experts is definitely inefficient. To improve
efficiency, manufacturing industry must employ machine vision approach to handle high speed line
production. The human eye could be replaced using camera or sensor. Data captured then transmit to
computer-based system to enter the image processing stages and finally analyzed by Intelligent Software to
perform object recognition.

The software system typically consists several stages such as of image acquisition subsystem to get
information of the captured scene; a preprocessing subsystem to removes noises of captured image; an image
enhancement subsystem to optimize image contrast; a segmentation subsystem to divide the images into
regions that presumably correspond to structural units in the scene or distinguish object to interest [6]; a
feature extraction subsystem to localize possible object for further analysis and measurement; a classification
subsystem to identifying objects or regions in the image. Finally, to grading quality of part, artificial
intelligent subsystem can be integrated to analyze whether part is accepted or rejected. The output then
commands rejecting mechanism such as robotic manipulator to dissociate the defect part. This approach is
common for developing automated visual inspection software in industrial application.
5. Conclusion
Manufacturing process often needs machine vision to increase the productivity process. Automated
visual inspection system reduces the cost by replacing human inspector and increases the efficiency by
improving duration of inspection process. Although the quality control is improved, the cost for employing
automated inspection system is expensive. Higher performance, robust, reliable, and intelligent computer
vision-based system causes the equipment getting more and more expensive. However, low cost automated
inspection system is possible and has been developed to create low cost automated inspection system. This
approach is using low cost image acquisition device such as web camera and high efficient proper software
technique for image processing. Of course, the overall inspection system will be not compete with standard
industrial which using high-end devices such as laser scanning. At least but not last, lower level industries
can use it to produce product reasonable quality for customer. This will confirm the existence of the
industries itself. In addition, the implementation of electromagnetic radiation other than visible spectrum for
data acquisition is widely open for further research. As techniques and vision systems developed, low cost
and better application can be expected in the future.

Abstract
The agent is something that is capable of sensing its environment through sensors and react to that
environment through effectors. Multiagent system is a system whereby a number of agents perform
a number of tasks to achieve common goals. The agents in multiagent system can interact with each
other either directly (direct, through communication and negotiation) or indirectly (indirect, interact
through their environment). JADEX is an agent-oriented reasoning engine to write the relationship
between agents using XML and Java programming language. So Jadex can display a simple
approach to the relationship between the agent for some tasks. By using JADEX to simulate how
agents communicate with each other cooperatively and competitively. In this study simulate an
example case of the mining process energy sources. With the results of a comparative analysis of
the benefits of work and production expenses. Where there are several agents that cooperate with
each other and there is an agent that acts as an obstacle (barrier). From the results of this study can
be considered for a mining company to simulate those things into consideration when will perform
the mining process.

1. Introduction
Agent technology has become one of the subject of discussion and research is much talked about in
science today. Starting from the use of robotics technology and mimic the functions of the behavior
of living things to the modeling of human social interactions in computer simulations.
The agent is something that is capable of sensing its environment through sensors and react to that
environment through effectors [1]. Basically, an agent is autonomous, since agents operate without

direct intervention by humans or others and can control the action and the condition itself against its
environment. Multiagent system is a system where some agents do a number of tasks to achieve
common goals [2]. Agents in multi-agent system can interact with each other either directly (direct,
through communication and negotiation) or indirectly (indirect, interact through their environment).
In this study the development of an agent using a tool Jadex. Jadex is an agent-oriented reasoning
engine to write the relationship between agents using XML and Java programming language. So
Jadex can display a simple approach to the relationship between the agent for some tasks. By using
Jadex Control Centre (JCC) displays all runtime tools that can be accessed and used in accordance
with their respective functions.
2. Simulation Scenario
In this study we create a scenario simulation game about agents Lithium Ore miner. There are some
agents that exist in this story, such as Homebase, Alien, Sentry, Production and Carrier.
In this simulation we analyze the outline of a mining process that requires many resources, among
others, who can we describe here in simple form on the stage of the process of looking for sources
of ore, producing and transporting the result. It describes a simple simulation of how a process of
mining new energy sources (ore) which was initially all agents can be simulated for the detection of
the source of ore mines, each agent will communicate with one another to report on its search
results to the agency Sentry, which in this case This serves to determine the large amount of ore that
can be explored and opened the mining points are to be explored further by the production agent.
For agents who have the mining function will start the process of working from a base camp or
named as a home base here. Sentry agent, production, and the carrier will begin its work by the
time set by the home base. After the allotted time expires, then all the agent will return to home
base.
Figure 1 shows the process flow diagram of ore mining. We add an agent that is named Alien, this
agent has a capability similar to the Sentry, but its the opposite of the Sentry. The purpose of this
agency is to describe an obstacle or problems that may occur in the mining process is simple. This
agent has the ability to remove the sign (mark), which means the point of the mine can not be
explored again.
3. Experiment
After doing this miner agent simulation, we did some experiments by replacing some variables to
determine the optimal configuration taking into account several aspects. In this experimental
configuration we are doing just the addition of the agent (Table 1), so other factors such as the
obstacle, vision sensor, speed and capacity Carrier everything fixed.
In Table 2 indicated several variables (speed, vision, number of agents) that will be simulated in
normal conditions. Variable speed and vision are fixed, while the number of agents will vary.
Variable speed is a variable speed which is owned by each agent to be able to reach each target
operation, this variable will be different for each agent but in this simulation is that it has constant
speed variable. For the vision variables is assumed as a sensor to detect the target variable mining

which is well worth the stay. Initial conditions assumed an ore valued at Rp. 5,- the number of
existing ore mining in the area totaling 500 units and exploration of the simulation time is 90
seconds. Within 90 seconds of each agent will work each according to its function and will return to
home base.

In this experiment, we conducted additional amount of carrier agent (carrier) in each section. We
divide the experiments each agent into 3 major parts, where in each section we perform the
experiment 10 times and write the result as shown in Figure 2.
It appears that in table 2 with the normal condition of all agents amounted to 1 pc comparison of
results obtained between the cost (cost) incurred by the amount of ore obtained. Of the total ore are
placed at all points of fruit ore amounting to 500 targets, the results obtained from this process, the
carrier agent can perform an average of transporting ore are 36.8% or roughly about 184 pieces ore.
These results will be compared with our subsequent experiment with the addition of different agents.

incurred and the amount of ore produced significant is 1:5. With the addition of an alien agent (in
character as a barrier, obstacle) will result in decrease in the number of mining ore and this has
become one of the factors to be considered. However, if the agent is removed will be obtained a
very ideal conditions (without obstructions) and almost all sources of ore being mined successfully
collected.
Future Work:
This experiment can still be done by making changes in vision sensors, speed of each agent,
communication systems, the addition of (alien) as an obstacle and a combination of production of
each agent, carrier and Sentry to enable maximum results with minimum operational costs down
possible.

Abstract
Flood disasters are routinely happened every year in many places in Indonesia. In 2006, one big
flood disaster occurred in Kabupaten Sinjai and killed more than 200 peoples. The flood disaster
like this came very quick without any prediction before people could make any rescue activities.
The victim of people caused by the disaster like this can be avoided if such an early warning
was implemented.
A research in the form of preliminary study and development of some prototypes in establishing
flood early warning system had been done. The system consists of some environmental
monitoring using sensors such as temperature, humidity, rainfall sensors and water flow
instruments. The concept of monitoring sensors configuration is based on wireless network
sensors. Data acquisitions are implemented in real time. Study of communications infrastructure
for wireless network sensor was implemented by evaluating long range wifi usage. The result
shows with some manufacturers equipment communications con be done normally (2MBps) for
less then 25 km. Currently, evaluation of mobile communication for this purpose is being done.
Some algorithms also had been developed to process data acquired from the monitoring system.
The data processing algorithms include water level prediction using Neuro Fuzzy algorithm.
The result from this processing is one day ahead prediction. Also developed in this system is run
off water modeling software that can simulate the area of flooding using D8 and DEM (digital
elevation modeling) algorithm. Now the development of flood early warning system is still in
progress to complete the whole system.

1. Introduction
The automatic memory management and security advantages of Java programs have encouraged
programmers to use this language to write all kinds of applications. As the popularity of Java has been
increasing among programmers, researchers have put more their attention to improve the performance of
Java applications. This paper is aimed to optimize the order of Java objects in memory to improve the
performance of Java applications. Understanding the memory behaviours of Java is important because as an
object oriented program, Java creates many objects dynamically on a heap, accesses and mutates them during
runtime. Improper order of objects in memory might degrade the performance of Java application especially
when the order of objects in memory is not match with the way the Java program accesses the objects.
This work exploits the existence of garbage collector in Java Virtual Machine (JVM). In Java, object
deletion is done automatically by a garbage collector instead of by programmers as in C or C++. It is
claimed that garbage collector has increased the productivity of programmers by reducing programmer
burden and eliminating sources of errors [5]. Copying garbage collector provides opportunity for object
ordering optimization because it can move live objects during the garbage collection.
We implement a simple pre-determined object copying ordering scheme (Depth First) and an
extension of this scheme which we call Hot-Depth First scheme. Our experiment results show that our
extended Hot-Depth First scheme has a better impact on Java application performance compared with the
Depth First scheme.
2. Background
Generally, there are two main types of garbage collectors [4]: non-moving garbage collector and
moving garbage collector. Due to the limitation of the space, we only briefly discuss moving garbage
collector, the garbage collector we use in our experiments.

During runtime (before collection), only the from-space is used for object allocation and the to-space
is reserved. Once the from-space is full, JVM halts the running application and invokes the garbage collector.
The garbage collector starts to find all live objects and moves them to the to-space. For example, the garbage
collector moves object A to the to-space since it has a reference from the root. Object C is also moved to the
to-space because it has a reference from A which is a live object, and so on. After all live objects are
evacuated to the to-space, JVM flips the role of the two spaces, the to-space becomes from-space and vice
versa. The running application is resumed and new objects will be allocated in the free space inside the fromspace (after collection).
Semi-space garbage collector provides opportunity for object ordering because during the
reclamation process, live objects are copied and can be placed in any order in the reserved space.

4. Evaluation Environment
We conducted our experiments on a single 3.20 GHz Pentium 4 with 64 byte DL1 and L2 cache line
size and 2GB of main memory. We performed the experiment on 32bit Linux 2.6.18 kernel with perfctr
patch to access the Pentium 4`s on-chip performance counters. The computer run stand alone with all
unnecessary daemons and services stopped. The network interface is also down. Our virtual machine
infrastructure was Jikes RVM 3.1.0, released on June 10, 2009.
For each experiment, we run the JVM once and run each Java application twice. We measured the
performance of Java application at the second run because Eeckhout et al. show that measurements of the
first run of a Java application inside a JVM tend to be dominated by the JVM overheads instead of by
application behaviour [3]. We setup the JVM to invoke semi-space garbage collector with DF scheme or
HDF scheme and we run 11 Java applications from SPEC [6] and DaCapo [2] benchmark suite version
2006-10-MR2. We run all applications on different heap sizes and for each heap size, we run the application
5 times and report the mean.
5. Results
We evaluate the impact of Depth First (DF) scheme and Hot Depth First (HDF) scheme on execution
time, number of cache misses and DTLB misses of the running Java applications and report the results for
heap size 1.5x minimum heap size.

Generally, considering the hotness of objects in reordering Java objects in memory improves Java
application performance. Figure 6 shows HDF scheme has a better impact on java application execution time
compare to DF scheme. It improves execution time around 3-9% for all applications. These performance
numbers includes the overheads of finding the hot objects and reordering them during the garbage collector.
As expected, memory and DTLB performance are also improved. L1D cache and L2 cache misses are
improved by HDF from 4 to 11% over DF as shown in Figure 7 and 8 respectively. DTLB gains more
improvement compare to L1D cache and L2 cache by HDF. Figure 9 shows DTLB misses are improved by
5-12% for all applications.
6. Conclusions
Our extension to the Depth First (DF) object ordering scheme which we call Hot-Depth First (HDF)
scheme has generally improved the performance of Java applications. By giving a priority copying for hot
objects as we implemented in the HDF scheme has reduced cache and DTLB misses and improved Java
application execution time. However the performance gain is still moderate due the overheads of finding the
hot objects.
