Abstract—The Personality and emotions are effective parameters in learning process. Thus, virtual learning environments should pay attention to these parameters. In this paper, a new e-learning model is designed and implemented according to these parameters. The Virtual learning environment that is presented here uses two agents: Virtual Tutor Agent (VTA), and Virtual Classmate Agent (VCA). During the learning process and depending on events happening in the environment, learner’s emotions are changed. In this situation, learning style should be revised according to the personality traits as well as the learner’s current emotions. VTA selects suitable learning style for the learners based on their personality traits. To improve the learning process, the system uses VCA in some of the learning steps. VCA is an intelligent agent and has its own personality. It is designed so that it can present an attractive and real learning environment in interaction with the learner. To recognize the learner’s personality, this system uses MBTI test and to obtain emotion values uses OCC model. Finally, the results of system tested in real environments show that considering the human features in interaction with the learner increases learning quality and satisfies the learner.

Keywords- Emotion; Learning Style; MBTI Indicator; Personality; Virtual Classmate Agent (VCA); Virtual Tutor Agent (VTA); Virtual learning.

Abstract—This paper introduces a novel indexing and access method, called Feature- Based Adaptive Tolerance Tree (FATT), using wavelet transform is proposed to organize large image data sets efficiently and to support popular image access mechanisms like Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR).Conventional database systems are designed for managing textual and numerical data and retrieving such data is often based on simple comparisons of text or numerical values. However, this method is no longer adequate for images, since the digital presentation of images does not convey the reality of images. Retrieval of images become difficult when the database is very large. This paper addresses such problems and presents a novel indexing technique, Feature Based Adaptive Tolerance Tree (FATT), which is designed to bring an effective solution especially for indexing large databases. The proposed indexing scheme is then used along with a query by image content, in order to achieve the ultimate goal from the user point of view that is retrieval of all relevant images. FATT indexing technique, features of the image is extracted using 2-dimensional discrete wavelet transform (2DDWT) and index code is generated from the determinant value of the features. Multiresolution analysis technique using 2D-DWT can decompose the image into components at different scales, so that the coarest scale components carry the global approximation information while the finer scale components contain the detailed information. Experimental results show that the FATT outperforms M-tree upto 200%, Slim-tree up to 120% and HCT upto 89%. FATT indexing technique is adopted to increase the efficiently of data storage and retrieval.

Index Terms— CBIR, FATT, indexing, wavelet transform.

Abstract— Botnet is most widespread and occurs commonly in today‘s cyber attacks, resulting in serious threats to our network assets and organization’s properties. Botnets are collections of compromised computers (Bots) which are remotely controlled by its originator (BotMaster) under a common Command-and-Control (C&C) infrastructure. They are used to distribute commands to the Bots for malicious activities such as distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, spam and phishing. Most of the existing Botnet detection approaches concentrate only on particular Botnet command and control (C&C) protocols (e.g., IRC,HTTP) and structures (e.g., centralized), and can become ineffective as Botnets change their structure and C&C techniques. In this paper at first we provide taxonomy of Botnets C&C channels and evaluate well-known protocols which are being used in each of them. Then we proposed a new general detection framework which currently focuses on P2P based and IRC based Botnets. This proposed framework is based on definition of Botnets. Botnet has been defined as a group of bots that perform similar communication and malicious activity patterns within the same Botnet. The point that distinguishes our proposed detection framework from many other similar works is that there is no need for prior knowledge of Botnets such as Botnet signature.

Keywords- Botnet; Bot; centralized; decentralized; P2P; similar behavior

…This research is the beginning phase to overcome the problems of Latin-Javanese text document transliteration. Therefore it is necessary to build the transliteration model named JawaTEX to transliterate the Latin text document to Javanese characters.The parser method used in this research is The Context Free Recursive Descent Parser. The Latin text document processing becomes the list of the Latin string split pattern by using rule-based method, whereas the matching process of each Latin string split pattern in mapping form of LATEX uses Pattern Matching method. The using of rule-based method can solved problems of the previous reseraches by using certain methods. The established transliteration model is supported by the production rule of browsing the Latin string split pattern, the models of the Latin string split pattern, the production rule for the Latin-Javanese character mapping, the models of syntax coding pattern, style or macro LATEX, Javanese character Metafont. The spelling checker to correct the mistake of letter typing by applying Brute Force algorithm also provided within system. Several testing results above prove that if the user can write every word correctly including absorption suitable with the original pronunciation and write or re-arrange the Latin spelling in the source text, so the transliteration model of the Latin text document to Javanese character formed can be used to transliterate the Latin text document to Javanese character writing. The concept of the text document split and the established transliteration in this article can be used as a basis to develop other cases. For the next research, the Javanese character split writing in good form still needs to be developed. The Javanese character writing sometimes cannot be justified alignment since the Javanese character writing does not recognize space between words.

Key words: transliteration, Javanese characters, type-setting, The Context Free Recursive Descent Parser, Pattern Matching, rule based, Brute Force, LATEX, JawaTEX

Abstract - Web Based Query Management System (WBQMS) is a methodology to design and to implement Mobile Business, in which a server is the gateway to connect databases with clients which sends requests and receives responses in a distributive manner. The gateway, which communicates with mobile phone via GSM Modem, receives the coded queries from users and sends packed results back. The software which communicates with the gateway system via SHORT MESSAGE, packs users’ requests, IDs and codes, and sends the package to the gateway; then interprets the packed data for the users to read on a page of GUI. Whenever and wherever they are, the customer can query the information by sending messages through the client device which may be mobile phone or PC. The mobile clients can get the appropriate services through the mobile business architecture in distributed environment. The messages are secured through the client side encoding mechanism to avoid the intruders. The gateway system is programmed by Java, while the software at clients by J2ME and the database is created by Oracle for reliable and interoperable services.

Abstract – Reliable effort estimation remains an ongoing challenge to software engineers. Accurate effort estimation is the state of art of software engineering, effort estimation of software is the preliminary phase between the client and the business enterprise. The relationship between the client and the business enterprise begins with the estimation of the software. The credibility of the client to the business enterprise increases with the accurate estimation. Effort estimation often requires generalizing from a small number of historical projects. Generalization from such limited experience is an inherently under constrained problem. Accurate estimation is a complex process because it can be visualized as software effort prediction, as the term indicates prediction never becomes an actual. This work follows the basics of the empirical software effort estimation models. The goal of this paper is to study the empirical software effort estimation. The primary conclusion is that no single technique is best for all situations, and that a careful comparison of the results of several approaches is most likely to produce realistic estimates.

Keywords- Software Estimation Models, Conte’s Criteria, Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test.

Abstract— World Wide Web is a huge repository of web pages and links. It provides abundance of information for the Internet users. The growth of web is tremendous as approximately one million pages are added daily. Users’ accesses are recorded in web logs. Because of the tremendous usage of web, the web log files are growing at a faster rate and the size is becoming huge. Web data mining is the application of data mining techniques in web data. Web Usage Mining applies mining techniques in log data to extract the behavior of users which is used in various applications like personalized services, adaptive web sites, customer profiling, prefetching, creating attractive web sites etc., Web usage mining consists of three phases preprocessing, pattern discovery and pattern analysis. Web log data is usually noisy and ambiguous and preprocessing is an important process before mining. For discovering patterns sessions are to be constructed efficiently. This paper reviews existing work done in the preprocessing stage. A brief overview of various data mining techniques for discovering patterns, and pattern analysis are discussed. Finally a glimpse of various applications of web usage mining is also presented.

Abstract - Heterogeneous Networks is the integration of all existing networks under a single environment with an understanding between the functional operations and also includes the ability to make use of multiple broadband transport technologies and to support generalized mobility. It is a challenging feature for Heterogeneous networks to integrate several IP-based access technologies in a seamless way. The focus of this paper is on the requirements of a mobility management scheme for multimedia real-time communication services - Mobile Video Conferencing. Nowadays, the range of available wireless access network technologies includes cellular or wide-area wireless systems, such as cellular networks (GSM/GPRS/UMTS) or Wi-Max, local area Network or personal area wireless systems, comprising for example, WLAN (802.11 a/b/g) and Bluetooth. As the mobile video conferencing is considered, the more advanced mobile terminals are capable of having more than one interface active at the same time. In addition, the heterogeneity of access technologies and also the seamless flow of information will increase in the future, making the seamless integration of the access network a key challenge for mobility management in a heterogeneous network environment. Services must be provided to the user regardless of the particular access technology and also the type of service provider or the network used.

Abstract - Specifying QoS properties can limit the selection of some good web services that the user will have considered; this is because the algorithm used strictly ensures that there is a match between QoS properties of the consumer with that of the available services. This is to say that, a situation may arise that some services might not have all that the user specifies but are rated high in those they have. With some tradeoffs specified in form of weight, these services will be made available to the user for consideration. This assertion is from the fact that, the user’s requirements for the specified QoS properties are of varying degree i.e. he will always prefer one ahead of the other. This can be captured in form of weight i.e. the one preferred most will have the highest weight. If a consumer specifies light weight for those QoS properties that a web service is deficient in and high weight for those it has, this will minimize the difference between them. Hence the service can be returned.

Key Words: QoS properties, QoS weighting vector, Distance Measure

Abstract- The major problem of robotics research today is that there is a huge barrier to entry into Robotics research due to system software complexity and need for a researcher to learn more about details, dependencies and intricacies of the complete system. This is because a robot system needs several different modules to communicate and execute in parallel. Today there are not much controlled comparisons of algorithms and solutions for a given task, which is the standard scientific method of other sciences. There is also very little sharing between groups and projects, requiring code to be written from scratch over and over again. This paper is to describe exploratory research on the design of a modular autonomous mobile robot controller. The controller incorporates a fuzzy logic [8] [9] approach for steering and speed control [37], a FL approach for ultrasound sensing and an overall expert system for guidance. The advantages of a modular system are related to portability and transportability, i.e. any vehicle can become autonomous with minimal modifications. A mobile robot test bed has been constructed in university of Cincinnati using a golf cart base. This cart has full speed control with guidance provided by a vision system and obstacle avoidance using ultrasonic sensors. The speed and steering fuzzy logic controller is supervised through a multi-axis motion controller. The obstacle avoidance system is based on a microcontroller interfaced with ultrasonic transducers. This micro-controller independently handles all timing and distance calculations and sends distance information back to the fuzzy logic controller via the serial line. This design yields a portable independent system in which high speed computer communication is not necessary. Vision guidance has been accomplished with the use of CCD cameras judging the current position of the robot.[34] [35][36] It will be generating a good image for reducing an uncertain wrong command from ground coordinate to tackle the parameter uncertainties of the system, and to obtain good WMR dynamic response.[1] Here we Apply 3D line following mythology. It transforms from 3D to 2D and also maps the image coordinates and vice versa, leading to the improved accuracy of the WMR position. The fuzzy logic Controller may give a good command signal; moreover we can find a highly accurate plant model to design the controller taking into account The unknown factors like friction and dynamic environment.This design, in its modularity, creates a portable autonomous fuzzy logic controller applicable to any mobile vehicle with only minor adaptations.

Abstract -- As the multimedia and internet technologies are growing fast, the transmission of digital media plays an important role in communication. The various digital media like audio, video and images are being transferred through internet. There are a lot of threats for the digital data that are transferred through internet. Also, a number of security techniques have been employed to protect the data that is transferred through internet. This paper proposes a new technique for sending secret messages securely, using steganographic technique. Since the proposed system uses multiple level of security for data hiding, where the data is hidden in an image file and the stego file is again concealed in another image. Previously, the secret message is being encrypted with the encryption algorithm which ensures the achievement of high security enabled data transfer through internet.

Abstract--Association rule mining is an active data mining research area and most ARM algorithms cater to a centralized environment. Centralized data mining to discover useful patterns in distributed databases isn't always feasible because merging data sets from different sites incurs huge network communication costs. In this paper, an Improved algorithm based on good performance level for data mining is being proposed. In local sites, it runs the application based on the improved LMatrix algorithm, which is used to calculate local support counts. Local Site also finds a centre site to manage every message exchanged to obtain all globally frequent item sets. It also reduces the time of scan of partition database by using LMatrix which increases the performance of the algorithm. Therefore, the research is to develop a distributed algorithm for geographically distributed data sets that reduces communication costs, superior running efficiency, and stronger scalability than direct application of a sequential algorithm in distributed databases.

Abstract-The applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) contain a wide variety of scenarios. In most of them, the network is composed of a significant number of nodes deployed in an extensive area in which not all nodes are directly connected. Then, the data exchange is supported by multihop communications. Routing protocols are in charge of discovering and maintaining the routes in the network. However, the correctness of a particular routing protocol mainly depends on the capabilities of the nodes and on the application requirements. This paper presents a dynamic discover routing method for communication between sensor nodes and a base station in WSN. This method tolerates failures of arbitrary individual nodes in the network (node failure) or a small part of the network (area failure). Each node in the network does only local routing preservation, needs to record only its neighbor nodes’ information, and incurs no extra routing overhead during failure free periods. It dynamically discovers new routes when an intermediate node or a small part of the network in the path from a sensor node to a base station fails. In our planned method, every node decides its path based only on local information, such as its parent node and neighbor nodes’ routing information. So, it is possible to form a loop in the routing path. We believe that the loop problem in sensor network routing is not as serious as that in the Internet routing or traditional mobile ad-hoc routing. We are trying to find all possible loops and eliminate the loops as far as possible in WSN.

Abstract- Medical image segmentation demands an efficient and robust segmentation algorithm against noise. The conventional fuzzy c-means algorithm is an efficient clustering algorithm that is used in medical image segmentation. But FCM is highly vulnerable to noise since it uses only intensity values for clustering the images. This paper aims to develop a novel and efficient fuzzy spatial c-means clustering algorithm which is robust to noise. The proposed clustering algorithm uses fuzzy spatial information to calculate membership value. The input image is clustered using proposed ISFCM algorithm. A comparative study has been made between the conventional FCM and proposed ISFCM. The proposed approach is found to be outperforming the conventional FCM.

Index Terms - clustering, fuzzy c-means, image segmentation, membership function.

Abstract— Steganography techniques are used in Multimedia data transfer to prevent adversaries from eaves dropping. The medical profession is also under a strict duty to protect the confidentiality of patients' medical records as per the HIPAA ACT of 1996. Thus, protection of medical data/information in telemedicine is of paramount importance. Most telemedicine systems include some form of security measures such as the use of passwords. Password identification determines whether a user is authorized to gain access to a system. However, passwords are insufficient mechanisms to maintain patient confidentiality from intruders who gain knowledge of a user's password to log onto a system. This paper deals with the design and implementation of multilevel access control in medical image transmission using symmetric polynomial based audio steganography. Medical image transmission using audio steganography deals with covering the medical image on top of an audio file and subsequently sending it to multiple receivers .Only the intended recipients know that the Audio files actually contain medical images and they can use their key to see the images. We have developed a Multilevel access control model by which medical images sent to low class users like medical assistants can also be seen by physicians who are higher in the hierarchy whereas the vice-versa is not allowed. To provide multilevel access control, symmetric polynomial based scheme is used. The steganography scheme makes it possible to hide the medical image in different bit locations of host media without inviting suspicion. The Secret file is embedded in a cover media with a key. At the receiving end the key can be derived by all the classes which are higher in the hierarchy using symmetric polynomial and the medical image file can be retrieved. The system is implemented and found to be secure, fast and scalable. Simulation results show that the system is dynamic in nature and allows any type of hierarchy. The proposed approach performs better even during frequent member joins and leaves. The computation cost is reduced as the same algorithm is used for key computation and descendant key derivation. Steganographic technique used in this paper does not use the conventional LSB’s and uses two bit positions and the hidden data occurs only from a frame which is dictated by the key that is used. Hence the quality of stego data is improved.

Abstract — Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is an emerging area of research in the communication network world. As the MANET is infrastructure less, it is having dynamic nature of arbitrary network topology. So, it needs set of new networking strategies to be implemented in order to provide efficient end to end communication. Node activities such as sending or receiving data is highly traceable. Nodes are vulnerable to attacks and disruptions. To identify such nodes, a method of direct validation is proposed. Since it is unlikely for 2 ad hoc nodes to stay at the same position concurrently, the match between a position and ID is definitely unique. This information is obtained via global positioning system (GPS) and location services. In the routing protocol, location information is distributed between nodes by means of position beacons. Routing schemes rely on the cooperation and information exchanged among the nodes. Here in addition to node ID, extra information such as positions of the nodes is used for making routing decisions. Its neighbouring nodes receive the request and content to access the channel for becoming the next hop using Receiver Contention Channel Access Mechanism. A receiver that is geographically closer to the destination is assigned a higher priority and can win the contention. The destination also finds the corresponding authentication code according to the position carried in the rreq and encrypts the code with the secret key of its secret key pair.The encrypted result is included in the rrep and sent to the source. The source finds out whether it reaches the right destination by decrypting the information with the destination’s key and comparing the authentication code with the one it obtained through the position request. To avoid intruder for routing, Packet Dropping, WatchDog, SYBIL Attacks and PathSelector are used. The watchdog identifies misbehaving nodes, while the Pathselector avoids routing packets through these nodes. The watchdog, the path selector is run by each server. Each Server maintains a rating for every other node it knows about in the VHR. In our proposed model, the route selection is a function of following parameters: hop count, trust level of node and security level of application. In this paper, to focus on secure neighbor detection, trust factor evaluation, operational mode, route discovery and route selection. The paper mainly address the security of geographic routing. The watchdog identifies misbehaving nodes, while the Pathselector avoids routing packets through these nodes. The watchdog, the pathselector is run by each server. In order to keep the source informed about the destination’s mobility, the destination keeps sending the alert message to its previous hop telling that it has changed its position and any reference to it for data packet forwarding be informed to the VHR server.

Keywords— Mobile ad hoc networks, routing protocols, multipath routing, Reliable Routing, Position Based.

Abstract—The objective of this paper is to implement the Active Network based Active Queue Management Technique for providing Quality of Service (QoS) using Network Processor(NP) based router to enhance multimedia applications. The performance is evaluated using Intel IXP2400 NP Simulator. The results demonstrate that, Active Network based Active Queue Management has better performance than RED algorithm in case of congestion and is well suited to achieve high speed packet classification to support multimedia applications with minimum delay and Queue loss. Using simulation, we show that the proposed system can provide assurance for prioritized flows with improved network utilization where bandwidth is shared among the flows according to the levels of priority. We first analyze the feasibility and optimality of the load distribution schemes and then present separate solutions for non-delay sensitive streams and delay-sensitive streams. Rigorous simulations and experiments have been carried out to evaluate the performance.

The proposed algorithm gives less distortion as compared to well known Linde Buzo Gray (LBG) algorithm and Kekre’s Proportionate Error (KPE) Algorithm. Constant error is added every time to split the clusters in LBG, resulting in formation of cluster in one direction which is 1350 in 2-dimensional case. Because of this reason clustering is inefficient resulting in high MSE in LBG. To overcome this drawback of LBG proportionate error is added to change the cluster orientation in KPE. Though the cluster orientation in KPE is changed its variation is limited to ± 450 over 1350. The proposed algorithm takes care of this problem by introducing new orientation every time to split the clusters. The proposed method reduces PSNR by 2db to 5db for codebook size 128 to 1024 with respect to LBG.

Abstract—Due to mobility in Ad-Hoc network the topology of the network may change randomly, rapidly and unexpectedly, because of these aspects, the routes in the network often disappear and new to arise. To avoid frequent route discovery and route failure EAOMDV was proposed based on existing routing protocol AOMDV. The EAOMDV (Enhanced Ad-Hoc on Demand Multipath Distance Vector) Routing protocol was proposed to solve the “route failure” problem in AOMDV. EAOMDV protocol reduces the route failure problem by preemptively predicting the link failure by the signal power received by the receiver (pr). This proposed protocol controls overhead, increases throughput and reduces the delay. The EAOMDV protocol was implemented on NS-2 and evaluation results show that the EAOMDV outperformed AOMDV.

Abstract—As wireless communication systems look intently to compose the transition from voice communication to interactive Internet data, achieving higher bit rates becomes both increasingly desirable and challenging. Space-time coding (STC) is a communications technique for wireless systems that inhabit multiple transmit antennas and single or multiple receive antennas. Space-time codes make use of advantage of both the spatial diversity provided by multiple antennas and the temporal diversity available with time-varying fading. Space-time codes can be divided into block codes and trellis codes. Space–time trellis coding merges signal processing at the receiver with coding techniques appropriate to multiple transmit antennas. The advantages of space-time codes (STC) make it extremely remarkable for high-rate wireless applications. Initial STC research efforts focused on narrowband flat-fading channels. The decoding complexity of Space-time turbo codes STTC increases exponentially as a function of the diversity level and transmission rate. This proposed paper provides an over view on various techniques used for the design of space-time turbo codes. This paper also discusses the techniques handled by researchers to built encoder and decoder section for multiple transmits and receives antennas. In addition the future enhancement gives a general idea for improvement and development of various codes which will involve implementing viterbi decoder with soft decoding in a multi-antenna scenario. In addition the space-time code may be analyzed using some of the available metrics and finally to simulate it for different receive antenna configurations.

Keywords—Antenna, Bit Rate, Block Codes, Diversity, Space-Time Coding (STC), Transmitter, Trellis Codes, and Viterbi Decoder.

Abstract— Mathematics has many useful properties for developing of complex software systems. One is that it can exactly describe a physical situation of the object or outcome of an action. Mathematics support abstraction and this is an excellent medium for modeling, since it is an exact medium there is a little possibility of ambiguity. This paper demonstrates that mathematics provides a high level of validation when it is used as a software medium. It also outlines distinguishing characteristics of structural testing which is based on the source code of the program tested. Structural testing methods are very amenable to rigorous definition, mathematical analysis and precise measurement. Finally, it also discusses functional and structural testing debate to have a sense of complete testing. Any program can be considered to be a function in the sense that program input forms its domain and program outputs form its range. In general discrete mathematics is more applicable to functional testing, while graph theory pertains more to structural testing.

Keywords— Propositional logic, Graph theory, Validation, Fault.

Abstract—Clustering is an unsupervised learning method that constitutes a cornerstone of an intelligent data analysis process. It is used for the exploration of inter-relationships among a collection of patterns, by organizing them into homogeneous clusters. Clustering has been dynamically applied to a variety of tasks in the field of Information Retrieval (IR). Clustering has become one of the most active area of research and the development. Clustering attempts to discover the set of consequential groups where those within each group are more closely related to one another than the others assigned to different groups. The resultant clusters can provide a structure for organizing large bodies of text for efficient browsing and searching. There exists a wide variety of clustering algorithms that has been intensively studied in the clustering problem. Among the algorithms that remain the most common and effectual, the iterative optimization clustering algorithms have been demonstrated reasonable performance for clustering, e.g. the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm and its variants, and the well known k-means algorithm. This paper presents an analysis on how partition method clustering techniques – EM, K –means and K* Means algorithm work on heartspect dataset with below mentioned features – Purity, Entropy, CPU time, Cluster wise analysis, Mean value analysis and inter cluster distance. Thus the paper finally provides the experimental results of datasets for five clusters to strengthen the results that the quality of the behavior in clusters in EM algorithm is far better than k-means algorithm and k*means algorithm.

Abstract— a few papers have been interested by the fixed switching frequency direct torque control fed by direct matrix converters, where we can find just the use of direct torque controlled space vector modulated method. In this present paper, we present an improved method used for a fixed switching frequency direct torque control (DTC) using a direct matrix converter (DMC). This method is characterized by a simple structure, a fixed switching frequency which causes minimal torque ripple and a unity input power factor. Using this strategy, we combine the direct matrix converters advantages with those of direct torque control (DTC) schemes. The used technique for constant frequency is combined with the input current space vector to create the switching table of direct matrix converter (DMC). Simulation results clearly demonstrate a better dynamic and steady state performances of the proposed method.

Abstract—Biometrics deal with automated methods of identifying a person or verifying the identity of a person based on physiological or behavioral characteristics. Visual cryptography is a secret sharing scheme where a secret image is encrypted into the shares which independently disclose no information about the original secret image. As biometric template are stored in the centralized database, due to security threats biometric template may be modified by attacker. If biometric template is altered authorized user will not be allowed to access the resource. To deal this issue visual cryptography schemes can be applied to secure the iris template. Visual cryptography provides great means for helping such security needs as well as extra layer of authentication.

Abstract- Image segmentation is a vital part of image processing. Segmentation has its application widespread in the field of medical images in order to diagnose curious diseases. The same medical images can be segmented manually. But the accuracy of image segmentation using the segmentation algorithms is more when compared with the manual segmentation. In the field of medical diagnosis an extensive diversity of imaging techniques is presently available, such as radiography, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Medical image segmentation is an essential step for most consequent image analysis tasks. Although the original FCM algorithm yields good results for segmenting noise free images, it fails to segment images corrupted by noise, outliers and other imaging artifact. This paper presents an image segmentation approach using Modified Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm and Fuzzy Possibilistic c-means algorithm (FPCM). This approach is a generalized version of standard Fuzzy CMeans Clustering (FCM) algorithm. The limitation of the conventional FCM technique is eliminated in modifying the standard technique. The Modified FCM algorithm is formulated by modifying the distance measurement of the standard FCM algorithm to permit the labeling of a pixel to be influenced by other pixels and to restrain the noise effect during segmentation. Instead of having one term in the objective function, a second term is included, forcing the membership to be as high as possible without a maximum limit constraint of one. Experiments are conducted on real images to investigate the performance of the proposed modified FCM technique in segmenting the medical images. Standard FCM, Modified FCM, Fuzzy Possibilistic CMeans algorithm (FPCM) are compared to explore the accuracy of our proposed approach.

Abstract— There has been a remarkable increase in the data exchange over web and the widespread use of digital media. As a result, multimedia data transfers also had a boost up. The mounting interest with reference to digital watermarking throughout the last decade is certainly due to the increase in the need of copyright protection of digital content. This is also enhanced due to commercial prospective. Applications of video watermarking in copy control, broadcast monitoring, fingerprinting, video authentication, copyright protection etc is immensely rising. The main aspects of information hiding are capacity, security and robustness. Capacity deals with the amount of information that can be hidden. The skill of anyone detecting the information is security and robustness refers to the resistance to modification of the cover content before concealed information is destroyed. Video watermarking algorithms normally prefers robustness. In a robust algorithm it is not possible to eliminate the watermark without rigorous degradation of the cover content. In this paper, we introduce the notion of Video Watermarking and the features required to design a robust watermarked video for a valuable application. We review several algorithms, and introduce frequently used key techniques. The aim of this paper is to focus on the various domains of video watermarking techniques. The majority of the reviewed methods based on video watermarking emphasize on the notion of robustness of the algorithm.

Abstract—Terrorism has led to many problems in Thai societies, not only property damage but also civilian casualties. Predicting terrorism activities in advance can help prepare and manage risk from sabotage by these activities. This paper proposes a framework focusing on event classification in terrorism domain using fuzzy inference systems (FISs). Each FIS is a decision-making model combining fuzzy logic and approximate reasoning. It is generated in five main parts: the input interface, the fuzzification interface, knowledge base unit, decision making unit and output defuzzification interface. Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is a FIS model adapted by combining the fuzzy logic and neural network. The ANFIS utilizes automatic identification of fuzzy logic rules and adjustment of membership function (MF). Moreover, neural network can directly learn from data set to construct fuzzy logic rules and MF implemented in various applications. FIS settings are evaluated based on two comparisons. The first evaluation is the comparison between unstructured and structured events using the same FIS setting. The second comparison is the model settings between FIS and ANFIS for classifying structured events. The data set consists of news articles related to terrorism events in three southern provinces of Thailand. The experimental results show that the classification performance of the FIS resulting from structured events achieves satisfactory accuracy and is better than the unstructured events. In addition, the classification of structured events using ANFIS gives higher performance than the events using only FIS in the prediction of terrorism events.

Abstract— Cloud computing is an emerging platform of service computing designed for swift and dynamic delivery of assured computing resources. Cloud computing provide Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) for guaranteed uptime availability for enabling convenient and on-demand network access to the distributed and shared computing resources. Though the cloud computing paradigm holds its potential status in the field of distributed computing, cloud platforms are not yet to the attention of majority of the researchers and practitioners. More specifically, still the researchers and practitioners community has fragmented and imperfect knowledge on cloud computing principles and techniques. In this context, one of the primary motivations of the work presented in this paper is to reveal the versatile merits of cloud computing paradigm and hence the objective of this work is defined to bring out the remarkable significances of cloud computing paradigm through an application environment. In this work, a cloud computing model for software testing is developed.

Abstract— In Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN), a channel assignment has to balance the objectives of maintaining connectivity and increasing the aggregate bandwidth. The main aim of the channel assignment algorithm is to assign the channels to the network interfaces, from the given expected load on each virtual link. From the existing work done so far, we can examine that there is no combined solution of multi-channel assignment with routing and congestion control. In this paper, we propose a congestion control routing protocol along with multi-channel assignment. We use a traffic aware metric in this protocol in order to provide quality of service. The proposed protocol can improve the throughput and channel utilization to very high extent because it provides solution for multi-channel assignment and congestion control. The proposed algorithm assigns the channels in a way that, congestion is avoided and co-channel interference levels among links with same channel are reduced. By our simulation results in NS2, we show that the proposed protocol attains high throughput and channel utilization along with reduced latency.

Keywords- Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN), channel assignment algorithm, multi-channel assignment, routing, congestion control.

Abstract— This paper intends to look deeper into finding an ideal mobile broadband solution. Special stress has been put in the South Asian region through some comparative analysis. Proving their competency in numerous aspects, WiMAX and LTE already have already made a strong position in telecommunication industry. Both WiMAX and LTE are 4G technologies designed to move data rather than voice having IP networks based on OFDM technology. So, they aren’t like typical technological rivals as of GSM and CDMA. But still a gesture of hostility seems to outburst long before the stable commercial launch of LTE. In this paper various aspects of WiMAX and LTE for deployment have been analyzed. Again, we tried to make every possible consideration with respect to south Asia i.e. how mass people of this region may be benefited. As a result, it might be regarded as a good source in case of making major BWA deployment decisions in this region. Besides these, it also opens the path for further research and in depth thinking in this issue.

Abstract— The development and application of various remote sensing platforms result in the production of huge amounts of satellite image data. Therefore, there is an increasing need for effective querying and browsing in these image databases. In order to take advantage and make good use of satellite images data, we must be able to extract meaningful information from the imagery. Hence we proposed a new algorithm for SAR image segmentation. In this paper we propose segmentation using vector quantization technique on entropy image. Initially, we obtain entropy image and in second step we use Kekre’s Fast Codebook Generation (KFCG) algorithm for segmentation of the entropy image. Thereafter, a codebook of size 128 was generated for the Entropy image. These code vectors were further clustered in 8 clusters using same KFCG algorithm and converted into 8 images. These 8 images were displayed as a result. This approach does not lead to over segmentation or under segmentation. We compared these results with well known Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix. The proposed algorithm gives better segmentation with less complexity.

Abstract - Most of the web user’s requirements are search or navigation time and getting correctly matched result. These constrains can be satisfied with some additional modules attached to the existing search engines and web servers. This paper proposes that powerful architecture for search engines with the title of Probabilistic Semantic Web Mining named from the methods used. With the increase of larger and larger collection of various data resources on the World Wide Web (WWW), Web Mining has become one of the most important requirements for the web users. Web servers will store various formats of data including text, image, audio, video etc., but servers can not identify the contents of the data. These search techniques can be improved by adding some special techniques including semantic web mining and probabilistic analysis to get more accurate results. Semantic web mining technique can provide meaningful search of data resources by eliminating useless information with mining process. In this technique web servers will maintain Meta information of each and every data resources available in that particular web server. This will help the search engine to retrieve information that is relevant to user given input string. This paper proposing the idea of combing these two techniques Semantic web mining and Probabilistic analysis for efficient and accurate search results of web mining. SPF can be calculated by considering both semantic accuracy and syntactic accuracy of data with the input string. This will be the deciding factor for producing results.

Abstract-Document clustering is a subset of the larger field of data clustering, which borrows concepts from the fields of information retrieval (IR), natural language processing (NLP), and machine learning (ML). It is a more specific technique for unsupervised document organization, automatic topic extraction and fast information retrieval or filtering. There exist a wide variety of unsupervised clustering algorithms. In this paper presents a sequential algorithm for document clustering based with an enhancement on the features of the existing algorithms. This paper illustrates the Principal Direction Divisive Partitioning (PDDP) algorithm and describes its drawbacks and introduces a combinatorial framework of the Principal Direction Divisive Partitioning (PDDP) algorithm, then describes the simplified version of the EM algorithm called the spherical Gaussian EM (sGEM) algorithm and Information Bottleneck method (IB) is a technique for finding accuracy, complexity and time space. The PDDP algorithm recursively splits the data samples into two sub clusters using the hyper plane normal to the principal direction derived from the covariance matrix, which is the central logic of the algorithm. However, the PDDP algorithm can yield poor results, especially when clusters are not well separated from one another. To improve the quality of the clustering results problem, it is resolved by reallocating new cluster membership using the IB algorithm with different settings. IB Method gives accuracy but time consumption is more. Furthermore, based on the theoretical background of the sGEM algorithm and sequential Information Bottleneck method(sIB), it can be obvious to extend the framework to cover the problem of estimating the number of clusters using the Bayesian Information Criterion. Experimental results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm with comparison to the existing algorithm.
