In this paper a fuzzy C-means (FCM) based approach for speech/non-speech discrimination is developed to build an effective voice activity detection (VAD) algorithm. The proposed VAD method is based on a soft-decision clustering approach built over a ratio of subband energies that improves recognition performance in noisy environments. The accuracy of the FCM-VAD algorithm lies in the use of a d...

We propose a method for DDoS detection by constructing a fuzzy estimator on the mean packet inter arrival times. We divided the problem into two challenges, the first being the actual detection of the DDoS event taking place and the second being the identification of the offending IP addresses. We have imposed strict real time constraints for the first challenge and more relaxed constraints for...

Cross docking is a logistics strategy that strives to reduce inventory holding costs, shipping costs, and delays in delivering the products. In this research, an optimization model is presented for split loading and unloading products by suppliers and customers, vehicle routing with fuzzy possibilistic time window constraints among them, assignment of vehicles to cross dock, consolidation and i...
