Belmazouzi Y. DEVELOPPEMENT ET VALIDATION D’UNE APPROCHE DE DECISION SOCIOTECHNIQUE LIEE AUX PROBLEMES D’INDUSTRIALISATION EN ALGERIE. Hygiène et sécurité industrielle [Internet]. 2021. Publisher's VersionAbstract
Le Groupe Sonatrach est le géant algérien de l’industrie pétro-gazière. Sa force réside dans sa capacité à être un Groupe intégré dans l’ensemble de la chaîne de valeurs (depuis l’exploration en passant par la production jusqu’à la commercialisation). Ses installations onshore, qui sont considérées comme des systèmes sociotechniques complexes, souffrent des problèmes de vieillissement matérialisés par la dégradation des performances de ces installations. Cette thèse de doctorat a pour objet d’étudier ce problème de vieillissement dans le but de le maîtriser. S’intégrant dans ce contexte et après avoir rappelé le phénomène du vieillissement ainsi que les approches qui le gouverne, une proposition d’une approche de maîrise du vieillissement à base d’indicateurs est proposée dans un premier temps et dans un second temps une étude critique du référentiel "Gestion des Modifications" du Groupe Sonatrach est également présentée.
Chouia S, Seddik-Ameur N. Different EDF goodness-of-fit tests for competing risks models. Communications in Statistics-Simulation and ComputationCommunications in Statistics-Simulation and Computation [Internet]. 2021;52 (8) :1-11. Publisher's VersionAbstract

The common used goodeness-of-fit tests are based on the empirical distributions functions (EDF) where distances between empirical and theoretical hypothesized distributions are compared to critical values. The aim of this paper is to provide for different sample sizes, tables of goodness-of-fit critical values of modified Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic Dn,��, Anderson-Darling statistic A2, Cramer-Von Mises statistic W2,�2, Liao and Shimokawa statistic Ln, and Watson statistic U2 for the competing risks model of Bertholon which is used to describe the reliability of real systems where failure times can have different risks and in medical studies to characterize the survival time of patients who can have risks of death from different causes. The power of these statistics is studied using some alternatives such as the exponential, the inverse Weibull, the exponentiated Weibull and the exponentiated exponential distributions. All the computation are carried out by using matlab software and Monte Carlo method.

Ledmi M, Moumen H, Siam A, Haouassi H, Azizi N. A Discrete Crow Search Algorithm for Mining Quantitative Association Rules. International Journal of Swarm Intelligence Research (IJSIR) [Internet]. 2021;12 (4) :101-124. Publisher's VersionAbstract
Association rules are the specific data mining methods aiming to discover explicit relations between the different attributes in a large dataset. However, in reality, several datasets may contain both numeric and categorical attributes. Recently, many meta-heuristic algorithms that mimic the nature are developed for solving continuous problems. This article proposes a new algorithm, DCSA-QAR, for mining quantitative association rules based on crow search algorithm (CSA). To accomplish this, new operators are defined to increase the ability to explore the searching space and ensure the transition from the continuous to the discrete version of CSA. Moreover, a new discretization algorithm is adopted for numerical attributes taking into account dependencies probably that exist between attributes. Finally, to evaluate the performance, DCSA-QAR is compared with particle swarm optimization and mono and multi-objective evolutionary approaches for mining association rules. The results obtained over real-world datasets show the outstanding performance of DCSA-QAR in terms of quality measures.

Aouadj W, Abdessemed MR, Seghir R. Discrete Large-scale Multi-Objective Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization Algorithm, in Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Networking, Information Systems & Security. ; 2021 :1-6. Publisher's VersionAbstract
This paper presents a teaching-learning-based optimization algorithm for discrete large-scale multi-objective problems (DLM-TLBO). Unlike the previous variants, the learning strategy used by each individual and the acquired knowledge are defined based on its level. The proposed approach is used to solve a bi-objective object clustering task (B-OCT) in a swarm robotic system, as a case study. The simple robots have as mission the gathering of a number of objects distributed randomly, while respecting two objectives: maximizing the clustering quality, and minimizing the energy consumed by these robots. The simulation results of the proposed algorithm are compared to those obtained by the well-known algorithm NSGA-II. The results show the superiority of the proposed DLM-TLBO in terms of the quality of the obtained Pareto front approximation and convergence speed.

The direct control power (DPC) of the of the double feed induction generator (DFIG) using conventional controllers based on PI regulators is characterized by poor results: Robustness properties are not guaranteed in the face of parametric uncertainties and strong ripple of the powers. From the best evoked control techniques presented in this field to overcome these drawbacks, we will study some improvement variants such as the use of The second order sliding mode control (SOSMC) developed on the basis of the super twisting torsion algorithm (STA) associated with the fuzzy logic control to obtain (FSOSMC) in order to obtain acceptable performance. Finally, the effectiveness of the planned control system is studied using Matlab/Simulink. The proposed method that not only reduces power ripples, but also improves driving dynamics by making it less sensitive to parameter uncertainty.

Taguelmimt R, Beghdad R. DS-kNN: An Intrusion Detection System Based on a Distance Sum-Based K-Nearest Neighbors. International Journal of Information Security and Privacy (IJISP) [Internet]. 2021;15 (2) :131-144. Publisher's VersionAbstract


On one hand, there are many proposed intrusion detection systems (IDSs) in the literature. On the other hand, many studies try to deduce the important features that can best detect attacks. This paper presents a new and an easy-to-implement approach to intrusion detection, named distance sum-based k-nearest neighbors (DS-kNN), which is an improved version of k-NN classifier. Given a data sample to classify, DS-kNN computes the distance sum of the k-nearest neighbors of the data sample in each of the possible classes of the dataset. Then, the data sample is assigned to the class having the smallest sum. The experimental results show that the DS-kNN classifier performs better than the original k-NN algorithm in terms of accuracy, detection rate, false positive, and attacks classification. The authors mainly compare DS-kNN to CANN, but also to SVM, S-NDAE, and DBN. The obtained results also show that the approach is very competitive.

Boutabba T, Fatah A, Sahraoui H, Khamari D, Benlaloui I, Drid S, Chrifi-Alaoui L. dSPACE Real-Time Implementation of Maximum Power Point Tracking Based on Kalman Filter Structure using Photovoltaic System Emulator. 2021 International Conference on Control, Automation and Diagnosis (ICCAD) [Internet]. 2021 :1-6. Publisher's VersionAbstract
In this paper, we propose an implementation of a new technique of power maximization using a photovoltaic system emulator. The PV system design and its performance evaluation test before installation would be both costly and time-consuming. To overcome this problem the use of an emulator adds more performance and efficiency in the laboratory. Also, by measuring the voltage and current from the PV emulator the characteristic I-V and P-V are extract.The need to consider the measure power state is strongly nonlinear distribution curve with noise. For that reason, to establish and to detect the power value, measurement equations and dynamic equations proposed MPPT control strategy based on Kalman filter algorithm. The correctness and effectiveness of the strategy is verified by simulation and experiment. This algorithm was experimentally implemented. Data acquisition and control system were implemented using dSPACE1103. The results show that the Kalman filter MPPT work accurately and successfully under the change of solar irradiation.
