Undoubtedly, this process has a high value-added in oil and gas industries. Process owner expectations and new technology acquisition have been changing the mindset of domain experts to the new maintenance approaches and different newer methods such as condition-based maintenance models for improving the reliability and decreasing the cost of maintenance. Because of the high dynamic behavior of the gas and the instability of the input parameters, the need to apply a model with self-healing behavior is a serious demand in the gas industry. However, to the best of our knowledge, despite its importance, there is not any comprehensive study in the literature. In this paper, we present a new neuro-fuzzy model and a self-management control loop using real world data to meet the mentioned targets for a specified control valve in a gas refinery. ANFIS model is employed for the reasoning process which has six inputs (Inlet/outlet Pressures, temperature, flow rate, controller output and valve rod displacement), and one output that is a type of failure of the control valve and the most failures are considered based on domain expert knowledge. A suitable control loop is used to unceasingly monitor, analyze, plan and finally execute the process of prediction of failures. Due to undertaken improvement, there is a considerable change in reliability and financial indices. Moreover, the proposed approach is compared with two different methods. The results show that our proposed model comprehensively improves accuracy by 24%. Manuscript profile -

The most important use of online communities in cyberspace is sharing knowledge. These communities are a great place to ask questions and find answers. The important challenges of these communities are the large volume of information and the lack of a method to determine their validity as well as expert finding which attracted a lot of attention in both industry and academia in. Therefore, identifying persons with relevant knowledge on a given topic and ranking them according to their expertise score can help to calculate the accuracy of the comments submitted on the internet. In this research, a model for finding experts and determining their domain expertise level by the aid of statistical calculations and the ant colony algorithm in the MetaFilter online community was presented. The WordNet Dictionary was used to determine the relevance of the user’s questions with the intended domain. The proposed algorithm determines the level of people’s expertise in the intended field by using the pheromone section of the Ant colony algorithm, which is based on the similarity of the questions sent by the users and the shared knowledge of the users from their interactions in the online community Manuscript profile -

4 - Secured Access Control in Security Information and Event Management Systems

In t MoreNowadays, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) is very important in software. SIEM stores and monitors events in software and unauthorized access to logs can prompt different security threats such as information leakage and violation of confidentiality. In this paper, a novel method is suggested for secured and integrated access control in the SIEM. First, the key points where the SIEM accesses the information within the software is specified and integrated policies for access control are developed in them. Accordingly, the threats entered into the access control module embedded in this system are carefully detected. By applying the proposed method, it is possible to provide the secured and integrated access control module for SIEM as well as the security of the access control module significantly increases in these systems. The method is implemented in the three stages of the requirements analysis for the establishment of a secure SIEM system, secure architectural design, and secure coding. The access control module is designed to create a secured SIEM and the test tool module is designed for evaluating the access control module vulnerabilities. Also, to evaluate the proposed method, the dataset is considered with ten thousand records, and the accuracy is calculated. The outcomes show the accuracy of the proposed method is significantly improved. The results of this paper can be used for designing an integrated and secured access control system in SIEM systems.

This application can be used in different cases, including emotion analysis. This article uses six basic emotional expressions (anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, and surprise), and its main goal is to present a new method in cognitive science, based on the functioning of the human brain system. The stages of the proposed model include four main parts: pre-processing, feature extraction, feature selection, and classification. In the pre-processing stage, facial images and verbal signals are extracted from videos taken from the enterface’05 dataset, noise removal and resizing is performed on them. In the feature extraction stage, PCA is applied to the images, and the 3D-CNN network is used to find the best features of the images. Moreover, MFCC is applied to emotional verbal signals, and the CNN Network will also be applied to find the best features. Then, fusion is performed on the resulted features and finally Soar classification will be applied to the fused features, to calculate the recognition rate of emotional expression based on face and speech. This model will be compared with competing models in order to examine the performance of the proposed model. The highest rate of recognition based on audio-image was related to the emotional expression of disgust with a rate of 88.1%, and the lowest rate of recognition was related to fear with a rate of 73.8%.
