This paper investigates the use of a simplified set of phonemes in an ASR system applied to Holy Quran. The Carnegie Mellon University Sphinx 4 tools were used to train and evaluate a language model on Holy Quran recitations that are widely available online. The building of the language model was done using a simplified list of phonemes instead of the mainly used Romanized in order to simplify the process of training the acoustic model. In this paper, the experiments resulted in Word Error Rates (WER) as low as 1.5% even with a very small set of audio files used during the training phase.

Technology providers fast and easily available means of transport and up-dates information access to the people that cause crowed at public places. This imposes a big challenge for crowed safety and security at public places such as airports, railway stations and check points. For example, crowed of pilgrims during Hajj and Ummrah while crossing the borders of Makkah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. To minimize the risk of such crowed safety and security, identification and verification of people is necessary which caused unwanted increment in processing time. It is observed that managing crowed during specific time period ( Hajj and Ummrah) with identification and verification became challenge. At present, many advanced technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) are being used to solve the crowed management problem with minimal proce...

All data centers are plagued by the operational presence of thousands of servers as major components. These servers consume a huge amount of power while performing little in terms of useful work. In an average server environment, 30% of servers are "zombies"—they merely consume power while having a utilization ratio of only 5 to 10%. Server virtualization contributes to this problem by offering an opportunity to consolidate multiple underutilized volume servers into a single physical server, thereby reducing the physical and environmental footprint of data centers. This paper suggests implementing "server virtualization" to achieve energy efficient data centers. The proposed technique increases the utilization ratio of underutilized servers up to 50%, saving a huge amount o...
