Speed and Interference Effect Analysis in Multiuser Detection Based Radio Platform for Vehicular Ad Hoc Network
Pegdwindé Justin Kouraogo, Zbigniew Dziong, Mohamad Haidar, François Gagnon
This work presents the performance evaluation of the cross-layer prediction framework in the context of ad hoc network mobility and multiple access interference. Node mobility influences the quality of channel prediction and, obviously, packet reception. It also leads to varying levels of interference, depending on the scenario used and the nu(...)

Measures To Enhance The Characterization Of Internet Exchange Points
Y. Dabone, T. F. Ouedraogo, O. Sie
The reliability of data transport on the Internet is one of the objectives of researchers in the field of computer science. Data such as videos and audio is becoming increasingly large. Therefore, transporting them over the Internet is becoming difficult. It has therefore been important to establish a method of locally interconnecting autonomo(...)

Enhancing Power Efficiency in NB-IoT Networks: PAPR Reduction in SC-FDMA
Désiré Guel, P. Justin Kouraogo, Boureima Zerbo, Modeste Dembele
NB-IoT, short for NarrowBand IoT, is a communication standard designed to enable the communication of a large number of connected objects over long distances. One of the research areas in NB-IoT systems is the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR). NB-IoT, which is an extension of the LTE (Long Term Evolution) technology of 4G, uses the Single Ca(...)

Emergency Severity Index (ESI) a more suitable system for emergencies in Burkina Faso
Tougba Manegaouindé Roland, Zerbo Boureima, Guel, Désiré, Kouraogo Justin
The triage system an emergency department must prioritize the patients' needs above all else. Additionally, it enables improved care organization based on client type, institutional mission, and available resources. In order to conduct effective triage, the Orientation and Reception Nurse (ORN) should employ a reliable, valid, and reproducible(...)

Indexing and Searching Visual Content in a Data Lake Context
S. Sore, F. T. Ouedraogo, Y. Traore and M. Bikienga
Nowadays, we are witnessing a steady increase in the number of available images, whether for experts or the general public, particularly in the age of Big Data, where data are distinguished by their volume, variety, authenticity and speed. Often, these vast databases contain numerous images, accompanied by texts and annotations more or less de(...)

Characterization of Malicious URLs Using Machine Learning and Feature Engineering
Sidwendluian Romaric Nana, Didier Bassolé, Jean Serge Dimitri Ouattara & Oumarou Sié
In this paper, we use Machine Learning models for malicious URL detection and classification by Feature Engineering techniques. These models were implemented with scikit-learn using Random Forest, Support Vector Machine and XGBoost classifier algorithms. Our models were trained, tested, and then optimized with a dataset of 641,125 URLs (benign(...)

Early alert of an outbreak based on event detection and tracking on social networks: The case of Covid-19 and meningitis
Julie Thiombiano; Yaya Traore; Sadouanouan Malo
In this paper, we propose an early warning approach for the occurrence of meningitis or Covid-19 epidemics based on the analysis of Twitter messages (tweets). To achieve this, we initially employed automatic classification techniques using Natural Language Processing and domain ontologies to filter the tweets. Subsequently, we utilized the met(...)

Software Vulnerabilities’ Detection by analysing application execution traces
Gouayon KOALA, Didier BASSOLE, Telesphore TIENDREBEOGO and Oumarou SIE
Over the years, digital traces have proven to be significant for analyzing IT systems, including applications. With the persistent threats arising from the widespread proliferation of malware and the evasive techniques employed by cybercriminals, researchers and application vendors alike are concerned about finding effective solutions. In this(...)

Construction of a Core Ontology of Endogenous Knowledge on Agricultural Techniques: OntoEndo
H Trawina, S Malo, I Diop, Y Traore
Several resources have been identified on endogenous agro-sylvo-pastoral techniques, but some of them remain unformalized data. In a context of climate change (CC), it is essential to take into account this endogenous knowledge on agricultural techniques as an adaptation measure. We propose in this paper to build an ontology of this endogenous(...)

Software Vulnerabilities Detection Using a Trace-Based Analysis Model
Gouayon KOALA, Didier BASSOLE, Telesphore TIENDREBEOGO and Oumarou SIE
Over the years, digital technology has grown considerably. With this growth, the information systems’ security has increasingly become a major concern. In this paper, we propose an analysis model based on application execution traces. This model makes it possible to improve the detection of vulnerabilities in applications. Indeed, after an eva(...)

Reliable Fix Patterns Inferred from Static Checkers for Automated Program Repair
Kui Liu, Jingtang Zhang, Li Li, Anil Koyuncu, Dongsun Kim, Chunpeng Ge, Zhe Liu, Jacques Klein, Tegawendé F Bissyandé
Fix pattern-based patch generation is a promising direction in automated program repair (APR). Notably, it has been demonstrated to produce more acceptable and correct patches than the patches obtained with mutation operators through genetic programming. The performance of pattern-based APR systems, however, depends on the fix ingredients mine(...)
