Abstract

A Seasonal  Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) is a popular and well known model for forecasting seasonal time series data.   Recently, we applied artificial neural networks (ANNs)   in time series forecasting, but in seasonal series, artificial neural networks (ANNs) did not perform well. In this paper, a hybrid forecasting  model, which combines the seasonal time series ARIMA (SARIMA) and the multilayer feedforward neural network is proposed to forecast time series with seasonality. The forecasting performances among these three models, i.e., the SARIMA model, the multilayer feedforward neural network model and the hybrid model are compared. Comparing the performances using the root mean squared error (RMSE), the mean absolute error (MAE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), we find that the hybrid model outperforms both  two single models.

Key words: Load Forecasting, Artificial Neural Networks; Multilayer Feed-forward Neural Network; Hybrid Model.

Abstract

Data hiding is the process of embedding the secret data in cover image by making small modification to its pixels. The different methods of steganography are mostly applied on image files to embed the secret data. All these methods replace only some parts of the chosen pixels and due to this only small data can be embedded in cover image otherwise; a large embedding data changes the cover image originality. So, one has to compromise either in size of the secret data or in the visual quality of cover image. This paper presents a new methodology for embedding a large embedding data with very small changes in respectively small cover image. Based on this method, we have constructed setgo image creator and secret data viewer in Microsoft platform.

Key words:  Stego-key, User Classified Multi-valued Code, Reduced ASCII code, Direct Replacement.

Abstract

Whenever more than one images of the same area are involved in a study, they must be co-registered, so that a point in one image can be accurately identified on other images. The manual method of image registration involve identification of easily identifiable points, called ground control points (GCPs), on the images and then computing the transformation parameters based on these GCPs. This process is very tedious and time consuming. We can take the help of computer in identification of these GCPs or some other thing else like image object, feature, characteristic etc. instead of using human expertise. Totally elimination of human involvement require a very robust system which is difficult to program and would require a lot of computational power; but using human intelligence for supervisory roll to start the process and finally accept (or reject) some intermediate position, a viable registration system can be designed. Such a system can be easily implemented on any modern PC. The present paper investigate the processes involved in image registration and proposes design of such a system, which is more suitable for registering satellite images but may be used for medical images also.

Key Words: Image registration, image rectification, multi-modal registration, non-rigid registration.

Abstract

To be able to connect to the Internet is as a necessity as air and water to survive while keeping pace with exploding information technology era of today. In view of the increasing demand for wireless information and data services, providing faster and more reliable mobile access is becoming an important concern. A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a network formed and functioning without any established infrastructure or centralized administration and consists of Mobile devices (MDs) that use a wireless interface to communicate with each other. These devices serve as both hosts and routers so they can forward packets on behalf of each other. Hence, the MDs are able to communicate beyond their transmission range by supporting multihop communication. In this paper, a roadmap for the MANET is provided covering broadly the origin, types, history, applications and challenges.

Key-words: - Mobile ad hoc network (MANET), Mobile device (MD), Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), Wireless Local Area Netrwork (WLAN).

Abstract

Prediction of fault-prone modules provides one way to support software quality engineering through improved scheduling and project control. Methodologies and techniques for predicting the testing effort, monitoring process costs, and measuring results can help in increasing efficiency of software testing. Predicting faults early in the software life cycle can be used to improve software process control and achieve high software reliability. In the present work, different machine learning algorithms and neural network techniques are evaluated on two different real-time software defect datasets. The results show that when all the prediction techniques are evaluated, then best algorithm for classification of the software components into faulty/fault-free systems is found to be Generalized Regression Neural Networks.

Abstract

Extraction of interesting hidden information from a large collection of data is termed as data mining. Association rule mining is a process of data mining where the relationships among the different attributes are extracted. A number of works have been carried out in this area. These algorithms work in two phases; frequent set generation and rule generation. Using a user given parameter minimum support, the first phase finds out the frequent set. This phase is the most time consuming one. Hence this phase has attracted a number of researchers for deriving the frequent sets in an efficient way. The second phase generates the rules using another user given parameter i.e. minimum confidence. For that it uses the frequent sets derived by the first phase. Depending on the output of the first phase this phase may also become time consuming. Moreover if proper care is not taken then we may miss a number of rules. This paper presents a technique to generate all possible rules from the given frequent sets based on the user given minimum confidence.

Keywords: frequent set, association rule, support count, confidence.

Abstract

The most obvious and first question is what is ``watermarking’’? The process of embedding information into another object or signal can be termed as watermarking. In other words digital watermarking is a technique, which allows an individual to add hidden copyright notices, or other verification messages to digital audio, video, or image signals and documents. Such hidden message is a group of bits describing information pertaining to the signal or to the author of the signal (name, place, etc.). The technique takes its name from watermarking of paper or money as a security measure. Digital watermarking is not a form of steganography, in which data is hidden in the message without the end user's knowledge, although some watermarking techniques have the steganographic feature of not being perceivable by the human eye. Historically, watermarking has been used to send ``sensitive'' information hidden in another signal. Watermarking has its applications in image or video copyright protection. Basically WATER MARKING has its application for ownership protection.

Abstract

Video transmission is found today in many applications such as surveillance, video-on-demand, video conferencing, internet etc. The basic communication problem may be posed as conveying   source data with highest possible accuracy. When video sequences are transmitted from source to destination, it actually gets transmitted frame by frame.  The interference due to unavoidable energy called noise, degrades the quality of video during its transmission. So in order to improve the quality of video sequences at receiver section, optimum reduction of noise is needed. It consists of three parts, a) Video shot detection  b) Key frame detection c) Filtering. To compare the results of denoising algorithm usage for video filtering, near noiseless video sequences were used & the following step taken 1)Addition of artificial noise to video sequences, 2) Removal of noise from sequences using different denoising algorithms 3) Comparison of processed sequences with the originals.

Abstract

The plants of different corn are planted in different month within a year. Some are suitable in summer; some are winter and some rainy season. One common question is that can   plants of all corn are planted throughout the year? The growth of plant is dependent on environment parameters like nature of soil, temperature (maximum and minimum), humidity (maximum and minimum), rainfall, soil moisture and sun rays etc. The nature of soil is overall West Bengal, India, morel less same. But other parameters vary from place to place. Using fuzzy logic, artificial neural network and genetic algorithms has been already tested to predict the growth of shoot length without considering the effect of environmental parameters [1]. In this paper, an effort has been made to predict the suitable time period within a year for mustard plant by considering the total effect of maximum and minimum temperature, rainfall, maximum and minimum humidity, soil moisture, and sun shine using the method of factor analysis and principal component analysis for estimation of growth of shoot length.

In this paper, we investigated the effect of routing protocols on performance (energy consumption and average goodput) within MANETs. We  studied different types of ad hoc routing protocols having different characteristics: reactive vs. proactive, distance vector vs. link state, and source routing. It is found  that AODV as a routing protocol leads to most accepted protocol and this is confirmed at different mobility levels.  In this paper, we further analyze the performance using routing protocols by varying scalability & mobility in MANET.

Abstract

A distributed temperature sensing approach based on laser speckles in multimode fibres is characterised. The speckle patterns are intensity distributions of different modes formed by the interference of the modes from a coherent source. The system design involves the use of an optical signal transmitter unit, the sensing fibre and a receiver unit. The receiver unit consists of a camera with a “diffuser glass in tube arrangement”. A CCD camera housed in the receiver unit receives the speckle image, which is grabbed by image acquisition hardware and computer for analysis. The slowly varying perturbation such as temperature is appropriate for qualifying the sensor. The sensor uses Cu-coated fibre for enhancing the performance. Two image processing algorithms have been used for characterisation of two sensing configurations. Results have been generated in terms of sensitivity, working range, system response time.   

Key-words: - Correlation, fibre-optic sensors, MSV, response time, sensitivity, sensing configurations, Speckle patterns, working range.

Abstract

The emergence of Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) has opened up new avenues for the use of computers in the field of education. ITSs are able to tackle difficult instructional problems and extend the usefulness of the computer as an instructional tool. Intelligent Tutoring Systems  have proved useful in  various domains, but are highly  resource intensive  to  build , the “tutor generators” for assisting users in building ITSs  conforming to two prominent intelligent tutoring paradigms: model-tracing and constraint-based. This paper presents design of a software tool called Intelligent Tutor Generators (ITG) for ITS. It is observed that it was easier to build a generic ITS generator based on the constraint-based paradigm,   but   the   tutor generator based on the model-tracing paradigm is more feature rich. It can generate applications with rich user interaction and powerful theory-based remediation capabilities.

Abstract

 Recently mobile ad hoc network (MANET) has attracted great interest with a variety of real applications. Rigorous research work, mainly on efficient routing protocol designs has been done and numerous MANET routing protocols have been developed. While designing the routing protocols it is assumed that the network is fully connected (i.e. there are no partitions). Mobility plays an important role in MANET. Relative node movement can break links and thus change the topology. In this paper we propose a physical implementation of a topology control algorithm for MANETs using freeway mobility model. The proposed algorithm maintains the topology without any control message. There is no need to change routing table as connectivity of the network is maintained all through. Each mobile node is equipped with a transceiver and a GPS receiver. Each node in a network transmits their coordinate location information and velocity periodically to its preceding node. After receiving this information from the following node, if requires, it will modify its own velocity for maintaining the connectivity/topology with the following node. In this approach each node will try to maintain the neighborhood topology with its following node. Results obtained through the experimentation with the prototype developed, demonstrate that the connectivity and hence the topology of the network is always maintained.

Abstract

Strategic management is an ongoing process that assesses the business and the industries in which the company is involved; assesses its competitors and sets goals and strategies to meet all existing and potential competitors; and then reassesses each strategy annually. It is the art and science of formulating, implementing and evaluating cross-functional decisions that will enable an organization to achieve its objectives. It is the process of specifying the organization's objectives, developing policies and plans to achieve these objectives, and allocating resources to implement the policies and plans to achieve the organization's objectives. It is the highest level of managerial activity, usually formulated by the Board of directors and performed by the organization's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and executive team. Strategic management, therefore, combines the activities of the various functional areas of a business to achieve organizational objectives. Strategic management provides overall direction to the enterprise and is closely related to the field of Organization Studies.

Abstract

Wireless Sensor networks (WSN) consists of tiny sensor nodes which are having limited CPU, memory, battery and communication capabilities.  WSN differs from conventional wireless networks in several ways such as sensor nodes have severe energy constraints produces redundant low-rate data traffic, and many-to-one flows. The end-to-end routing schemes that have been proposed in the literature for mobile ad-hoc networks are not appropriate under these constraints. Hence, it is essential to have data-centric technologies that perform in-network aggregation which gives energy-efficient dissemination. We focus on data aggregation problems in energy constrained sensor networks. The main goal of data aggregation algorithms is to gather and aggregate data in an energy efficient manner so that the network lifetime can be increased. In this paper we present an elaborate survey on different data aggregation algorithms based tree architecture and compare them in terms of lifetime, latency and data accuracy. Also we present the different network issues such as reliability and security while performing aggregation.

Abstract

Delhi is the capital city of India but is administered by multiple government agencies. Each agency has its own network of health centers to cater to different segments of society. There is a need to define these health facilities in terms of a region or District, so that the facilities within the region are strengthened by facilitating collaboration, which can be achieved by load transfer between centers. There is also a need to decongest secondary care by shifting patient load to primary care and also to minimize referral of patients from primary care to secondary care.

At the primary level, all health centers of government have the same number of doctors, irrespective of the patient load on the center. This research paper describes a model driven Decision support system, that facilitates load balancing and decentralization.  This model can be used by health care planners in strengthening primary health care services within a geographical region or district, and in manpower and equipment requirement planning, based on patient load, instead of fixed administrative guide lines.

Key Words: Model driven Decision support system; load balancing; primary health care services; health care planning.

Abstract

This paper is on Comparative Software Maintenance for Object-Oriented software system. The Object-Oriented systems have the relationships such as Inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, information-hiding, aggregation and association combination, which can make the system complicated to maintain. The effects on the system caused by maintenance activity can ripple through system components complicating maintenance and testing of the system. A Comparative Software Maintenance locates potential side effects, ripple effects and other effects of maintenance. An improved impact analysis procedure that determines impact of changes to the component level is presented. The result of impact analysis is applied to determine the component level testing requirements. The CSM methodology is implemented in Web Based Development Environment using Java Web Server, Comparative Impact Analysis using Java an OO programming language and JFlex a software lexical analyzer for OO program maintenance.

Keywords: CSM, Impact Analysis, Ripple effect, JFlex, Web Based Development Environment OO System.

Abstract

An Enhanced version of chaos based spread spectrum image steganography [1] has been proposed by incorporating chaos-based encryption, error correction code and chaotic modulation in spread-spectrum image Steganography. In proposed method, an enhanced chaos-based encryption, using an external secret key of 256-bits, and piecewise linear chaotic map (PWLCM-s) are employed. The initial condition values of PWLCM are derived using external key. To make encryption more robust, the secret key is modified after encrypting each block of 256 bits. The pseudo random sequence derived from PWLCM used for steganography and chaotic modulation. Findings confirm that the proposed method is secure from various types of attacks, exhibits good encryption speed and better security performance.

Keywords: Information Security, Chaos, Steganography, Turbo codes.

Abstract

Law in a general form prescribes the frame of possible behavior of players in the domain regulated by it. A law can be considered as a set of rules forming a knowledge base and problems arising in the domain of its application should be answered based on it. Knowledge based systems get their power from the expert knowledge that has been coded into facts, rules, heuristics, and procedures. The knowledge is stored in a knowledge base separate from the control and inference components. This makes it possible to add new knowledge or refine existing knowledge without recompiling the control and inference programs. The primary objective of the paper is to survey the research work in incorporation of legal knowledge and reasoning strategies into the automation of the legal tasks, thereby resulting in productive decision making.

34. The Analytical Study of K-Center Problem Solving Techniques

Rattan Rana, Dr. Deepak Garg

Computer Science & Engineering Department, Thapar University , Patiala ( India )


Abstract

Facility location decisions are a key element in any firm’s overall strategic plan. It is one of the main issues for contemporary manufacturing and service firms. Specifically, in the era of global markets and global production, changes in the global geopolitical environment have made the world truly a global factory, allowing companies greater flexibility in their location choices. In these situations the need for special capabilities of choosing the best locations is often far more important than other cost factors. The k center problem is concerned with the location of k-points (centers) on the network, such that the maximum (weighted) distance of all the nodes to their respective nearest points is minimized. In last few decades a number of approaches have been applied to provide an optimum solution for the k-center problem. This paper presents a comparative study of different approaches used to solve the k-center problem.

Keywords: Facility location, Site, k-center, heuristics, greedy, optimizing.

35. Choosing the Best Heuristic for a NP-problem

Narendhar Maaroju, Deepak Garg

Computer Science and Engineering Department, Thapar University , Patiala .

 

Abstract

Nowadays computers are used to solve incredibly complex problems. But in order to manage a problem we should develop an algorithm. Sometimes the human brain is not able to accomplish this task. Moreover, exact algorithms might need centuries to solve a formidable problem. In such cases heuristic algorithms that find approximate solutions but have acceptable time and space complexity play indispensable role. In present, all known algorithms for NP-complete problems are requiring time that is exponential in the problem size. Heuristics are a way to improve time for determining an exact or approximate solution for NP-problems. In our paper we want to analyze what are the possible heuristics available for NP-problems and we explain the characteristics and performance of each heuristic. Finally we analyze efficient heuristic out of all available heuristics for NP-problem.

Key words:  Heuristic, NP-problems, Hill climbing, Simulated Annealing, Evolutionary Algorithms, Support Vector Machines, premature convergence.

Abstract

Knowledge discovery from gene expression databases has become an important research area for biologists since the growing number of gene sequences was obtained. Using computation techniques such as data mining to find the association relationship among these gene data is of great interest and challenging aspect. Extracting information from large datasets (e.g., from human genome project, gene expression data) is a well-studied research problem. However, experimental research is time consuming, and does not use the currently available gene sequence data. Using data mining techniques, especially association rule techniques, it is getting essential to find better ways to extract relations (inferences) from them. In this paper, clustering and mutual information based on entropy has been used to generate association rules from gene expression data. Our results suggest that association rule may be well suited to predict the relationships among the silencer genes.

Keywords:- gene expression data, association rule, entropy, mutual information.
