Abstract - Graph drawing addresses the problem of finding a layout of a graph that satisfies given aesthetic and understandability objectives. The most important objective in graph drawing is minimization of the number of crossings in the drawing, as the aesthetics and readability of graph drawings depend on the number of edge crossings. VLSI layouts with fewer crossings are more easily realizable and consequently cheaper. A straight-line drawing of a planar graph G of n vertices is a drawing of G such that each edge is drawn as a straight-line segment without edge crossings. However, a problem with current graph layout methods which are capable of producing satisfactory results for a wide range of graphs is that they often put an extremely high demand on computational resources. This paper introduces a new layout method, which nicely draws internally convex of planar graph that consumes only little computational resources and does not need any heavy duty preprocessing. Here, we use two methods: The first is self organizing map known from unsupervised neural networks which is known as (SOM) and the second method is Inverse Self Organized Map (ISOM).

Abstract — Conventional symbol timing synchronization algorithms show improper performance in low SNR values. In this paper a new low complexity and efficient symbol timing synchronization (ESTS) algorithm is proposed for MB-OFDM UWB systems. The proposed algorithm locates the start of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) window during packet/frame synchronization (PS/FS) sequences of the received signal. First, a cross correlation based function is defined to determine the time instant of the useful and successfully detected OFDM symbol. The threshold value in detection of the OFDM symbol is predetermined by considering the trade-off between the probability of false alarming and missed detection. The exact boundary of the FFT window for each OFDM symbol is estimated by a maximum likelihood metric and choosing the argument of the peak value. Verifying the estimated timing offset is the last step to locate the start of the FFT window. The proposed algorithm shows great improvement in the MSE, synchronization probability and bit error rate metrics compared with those of earlier works.

Abstract— Nowadays, multilevel secure database is common in distributed systems. These databases require a generalized software system for multiuser and simultaneous access in the distributed system, as the client systems may be dissimilar (heterogeneous hardware and software.) The information system will usually be a blend of both information retrieval system and information management (create and maintain) system. This paper gives an approach in developing a generalized multilevel secure information system using three-tier architecture. The approach shows how data level integrity can be achieved using access and security levels on users/subjects and data/objects respectively.

Abstract — A forensic analyst is often confronted with low quality digital images, in terms of resolution and/or compression, raising the need for forensic tools specifically applicable to detecting tampering in low quality images. In this paper we propose a method for quantization table estimation for JPEG compressed images, based on streamed DCT coefficients. Reconstructed dequantized DCT coefficients are used with their corresponding compressed values to estimate quantization steps. Rounding errors and truncations errors are excluded to eliminate the need for statistical modeling and minimize estimation errors, respectively. Furthermore, the estimated values are then used with distortion measures in verifying the authenticity of test images and exposing forged parts if any. The method shows high average estimation accuracy of around 93.64% against MLE and power spectrum methods. Detection performance resulted in an average false negative rate of 6.64% and 1.69% for two distortion measures, respectively.

Abstract — Many emerging indoor and wireless applications require the positioning capabilities of GPS. GPS signals, however, suffer from attenuations when they penetrate natural or manmade obstacles. Conventional GPS receivers are designed to detect signals when they have a clear view of the sky, but they fail to detect weak signals. This paper introduces novel algorithms to detect the new GPS L2C civilian signal in challenging environments. The signal structure is utilized in the design to achieve high sensitivity with reduced processing and memory requirements to accommodate the capabilities of resource-limited applications, like wireless devices. The L2C signal consists of a medium length data-modulated code (CM) and a long length dataless code (CL). The CM code is acquired using long coherent and incoherent integrations to increase the acquisition sensitivity. The correlation is calculated in the frequency domain using an FFT-based approach. A bit synchronization method is implemented to avoid acquisition degradation due to correlating over the unknown bit boundaries. The carrier parameters are refined using a Viterbi-based algorithm. The CL code is acquired by searching only a small number of delays, using a circular correlation based approach. The algorithms’ computational complexities are analyzed. The performances are demonstrated using simulated L2C GPS signals with carrier to noise ratio down to 10 dB-Hz, and TCXO clocks.

Abstract - Fingerprint authentication is widely used in various authentication applications. It is because that fingerprints can achieve the best balance among authentication performance, cost, size of device and ease of use. With identity fraud in our society reaching unprecedented proportions and with an increasing emphasis on the emerging automatic personal identification applications such as biometrics-based verification, especially fingerprint-based identification is preferable as it is used for banking applications. In this paper we are providing authentication using fingerprints of the persons. Here there is two cases train and test. In train case we register the finger print of persons to whom we wish to give authorization .So after register the persons into the data base of the fingerprints .These are changed into templates of predefined .After making Templates the database will be compared with the testing In testing we just make verification after adding the fingerprint of persons. It compares with that template, which are available in database. If it is already in database, it shows matched result else it gives not matched .Finally, we show that the matching performance can be improved by combining the decisions of the matchers based on complementary (minutiae-based and filter based) fingerprint information. The localization of core point represents the most critical step of the whole process. A good matching requires an accurate positioning, so the small errors must also be avoided by usage of complex filtering techniques.

Abstract — The intense competition make DM process important for their survival. There are many factors that affect DM in all types of organizations, especially business. In this qualitative study the result has come out with new view for the decision making processing through (observing) analyzing the nine decision making factors from 1990-2010 from 210 papers which were selected randomly from the available resources. Seven partitions were made for the time period of three years and 30 papers for each period. Qualitative method was used here. By analyzing figures and chart with Microsoft excel, the nine decision making factors were categorized into two groups. The main group consists of five factors: time, cost, risk, benefits, and resources. While the second group of the factors consists of four: financial impact, feasibility, intangibles, and ethics. However, time was the most relevant factor at all. More researches in decision making are needed to solve the problems in organizations and in different scopes related to decisions.

Abstract - Past observations have shown that a frequent item set mining algorithm are supposed to mine the closed ones as the end gives a compact and a complete progress set and better efficiency. Anyhow, the latest closed item set mining algorithms works with candidate maintenance combined with test paradigm which is expensive in runtime as well as space usage when support threshold is less or the item sets gets long. Here, we show, PEPP, which is a capable algorithm used for mining closed sequences without candidate. It implements a novel sequence closure checking format that based on Sequence Graph protruding by an approach labeled “Parallel Edge projection and pruning” in short can refer as PEPP. A complete observation having sparse and dense real-life data sets proved that PEPP performs greater compared to older algorithms as it takes low memory and is more faster than any algorithms those cited in literature frequently.

Abstract - This paper provides Hilbert Huang Transform (HHT) method (an empirical mode decomposition(EMD)) for identifying the presence of harmonics during electric vehicle battery charging when harmonics are generated into the electric line, due to switching actions of the power electronics. Activation of the active filters based on the difference between load current and fundamental current measured from the line is done. By using active power filter (APF) injection of the required current to minimize the harmonics is done. As part of simulation, the accuracy of the HHT is above 95%. By correctly recognizing the harmonics using HHT and injecting the compensating current into the line, the charging time of the battery can be reduced. The reduction in the charging time also depends on the battery condition.

Abstract-- Effective software Reuse will be due to classification schemes used on software components that are stored into and retrieve from a software repository. This work proposes a new methodology for efficient classification and retrieval of multimedia software components based on user requirements by using attribute and faceted classification schemes. Whenever a user desires to trace a component with specified characteristics (Attributes) are identified and then compared with the characteristics of the existing components in repositories to retrieve relevant components. A web based software tool developed here to classify the multimedia software components is more efficient.

Abstract — Malware in the form of computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, rootkits, and spyware acts as a major threat to the security of networks and creates significant security risks to the organizations. In order to protect the networked systems against these kinds of threats and try to find methods to stop at least some part of them, we must learn more about their behavior, and also methods and tactics of the attackers, which attack our networks. This paper makes an analysis of observed attacks and exploited vulnerabilities using honeypots in an organization network. Based on this, we study the attackers behavior and in particular the skill level of the attackers once they gain access to the honeypot systems. The work describes the honeypot architecture as well as design details so that we can observe the attackers behavior. We have also proposed a hybrid honeypot framework solution which will be used in the future work.

Abstract — Network-On-Chip (NOC) is a new paradigm to make the interconnections inside a System-On-Chip (SOC) system. Networks-On-Chip have emerged as alternative to buses to provide a packet-switched communication medium for modular development of large Systems-On-Chip. The performance of Network-On-Chip largely depends on the underlying routing techniques. Routing algorithm can be classified into three categories, namely, deterministic routing, oblivious routing and adaptive routing. Each routing algorithm has two constituencies: output selection and input selection. In this paper we discuss about some input and output selection techniques which used by routing algorithms. Also, to provide new and more efficient algorithms we examine the strengths and weaknesses of the algorithm.

Abstract - The aim of this paper is to develop an effective loss less algorithm technique to convert original image into a compressed one. Here we are using a lossless algorithm technique in order to convert original image into compressed one. Without changing the clarity of the original image. Lossless image compression is a class of image compression algorithms that allows the exact original image to be reconstructed from the compressed data. We present a compression technique that provides progressive transmission as well as lossless and near-lossless compression in a single framework. The proposed technique produces a bit stream that results in a progressive and ultimately lossless reconstruction of an image similar to what one can obtain with a reversible wavelet codec. In addition, the proposed scheme provides near-lossless reconstruction with respect to a given bound after decoding of each layer of the successively refineable bit stream. We formulate the image data compression problem as one of successively refining the probability density function (pdf) estimate of each pixel. Experimental results for both lossless and near-lossless cases indicate that the proposed compression scheme, that innovatively combines lossless, near-lossless and progressive coding attributes, gives competitive performance in comparison to state-of-the-art compression schemes.
