Title : Moving Object Detection, Tracking and Classification Using Neural Networks   

Author Name: Hamsa A Abdullah   

Synopsis:   

Moving object detection and tracking (D&T) are important initial steps in object recognition, context analysis and indexing processes for visual surveillance systems. It is a big challenge for researchers to make a decision on which D&T algorithm is more suitable for which situation and/or environment and to determine how accurately object D&T (real-time or non-real-time) is made. There is a variety of object D&T algorithms (i.e. methods) and publications on their performance comparison and evaluation via performance metric. This paper discusses a hybrid technique for detecting and tracking moving pedestrians in a video sequence. The technique comprises two sub-systems: the first one for detecting and tracking moving objects in the visual field, and the second one for classifying the moving objects being tracked as human or cars by using MLP neural network. Experiments measuring the neural network s accuracy at classifying unseen computer generated and real moving objects are presented, along with potential applications of the technology.

Title : Performance Analysis of Different MANET Specific TCP variants   

Author Name: Debajyoti Pal

Synopsis: 

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is implemented in the transport layer of a MANET, which enjoys the advantage of reliable data transmission over the Internet. However, due to certain unique characteristics of a MANET, modification of classical TCP has been done so as to improve its performance in such an environment. Accordingly, several MANET specific TCP versions like TCP Reno, TCP New Reno, TCP Tahoe and TCP Vegas have come into prominence. This paper evaluates the performance of the different TCP versions for the same network topology over certain fixed parameters like number of packets generated/node, average packet loss, average delay incurred by the packets while in transit from source to destination and the processing time taken by the intermediate nodes. For routing purpose, we have assumed Ad-Hoc On Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV) as the standard. To address the common issues of congestion control as with TCP, the experiment has been carried out under different network loading conditions that have been achieved by slowly increasing the node density

Title: Using Data Mining Concept Of Outlier Detection For Finding Disparity In Chhattisgarh Resource Envelop For Rural Development 

Author Name : Neeraj Dewangan, Siddharth Choubey   

Synopsis :   

ICT plays an indispensable role in the overall development of rural areas, especially in developing economies. There is an urgent need to bring the rural areas into the mainstream by providing them the research and findings which until now only the top level planners to some extent are using. The analysis of the Resource envelops of various department shows the gaps where a planner can pay attention and thus minimize the disparity of allocation. Outlier detection is a primary step in many data-mining applications. Outlier detection for data mining is often based on distance measures, clustering and spatial methods. In many data analysis tasks a large number of variables are being recorded or sampled. One of the first steps towards obtaining a coherent analysis is the detection of outlaying observations. Although outliers are often considered as an error or noise, they may carry important information. Detected outliers are candidates for aberrant data that may otherwise adversely lead to model misspecification, biased parameter estimation and incorrect results. It is therefore important to identify them prior to modeling and analysis.

Title: Energy Efficient Scheme for Object –Tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks   

Author Name: S. Anandamurugan 

Synopsis: 

In recent years, we have witnessed an increasing interest in deploying wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for real-life applications. However, before WSNs become a commodity, several challenging issues remain to be resolved. Object-tracking sensor network (OTSN)-based applications are widely viewed as being among the most interesting applications of WSNs. OTSN is mainly used to track certain objects in a monitored area and to report their location to the application’s users. However, OTSNs are well known for their energy consumption when compared with other WSN applications. In this paper, we propose a prediction-based tracking technique using sequential patterns (PTSPs) de-signed to achieve signi?cant reductions in the energy dissipated by the OTSNs while maintaining acceptable missing rate levels. PTSP is tested against basic tracking techniques to determine the appropriateness of PTSP under various circumstances. Our experimental results have shown that PTSP outperforms all the other basic tracking techniques and exhibits signi?cant amounts of savings in terms of the entire network’s energy consumption.

Title  : A Study on Configuration Management in Software Environment   

Author Name  : V. Karamchand Gandhi   

Synopsis  :   

Configuration management (CM) is a field of management that focuses on establishing and maintaining consistency of a system or product's performance and its functional and physical attributes with its requirements, design, and operational information throughout its life. CM can be defined as the management of security features and assurances through control of changes made to hardware, software, firmware, documentation, test, test fixtures, and test documentation throughout the life cycle of an information system. CM for information assurance, sometimes referred to as Secure Configuration Management, relies upon performance, functional, and physical attributes of IT platforms and products and their environments to determine the appropriate security features and assurances that are used to measure a system configuration state. For example, configuration requirements may be different for a network firewall that functions as part of an organization's Internet boundary versus one that functions as an internal local network firewall. In this paper we studies and discuss about the basic needs of Software Configuration management, the role of preventive Maintenance and predictive maintenance.

Title  : The Role of Client Isolation in Protecting Wi-Fi Users from ARP Spoofing Attacks   

Author Name  : Timur Mirzoev, Joel Stacey White   

Synopsis  :   

This study investigates the role of the client isolation technology Public Secure Packet Forwarding (PSPF) in defending 802.11 wireless (Wi-Fi) clients, connected to a public wireless access point, from Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache poisoning attacks, or ARP spoofing. Exploitation of wireless attack vectors such as these have been on the rise and some have made national and international news. Although client isolation technologies are common place in most wireless access points, they are rarely enabled by default. Since an average user generally has a limited understanding of IP networking concepts, it is rarely enabled during access point configurations. Isolating wireless clients from one another on unencrypted wireless networks is a simple and potentially effective way of protection. The purpose of this research is to determine if a commonly available and easily implementable wireless client isolation security technology, such as PSPF, is an effective method for defending wireless clients against attacks

Vol.1 No.1

Year: 2012

Issue: Dec-Feb

Title: Lines Loading Optimization in Transmission Expansion Planning Based on Binary PSO Algorithm 

Author Name: M. Mahdavi, H. Monsef, A. Bagheri 

Synopsis: 

Transmission network expansion planning (TNEP) is an important component of power system planning. It determines the characteristic and performance of the future electric power network and influences the power system operation directly. In this paper, expansion planning has been implemented by merging lines loading parameter in the STNEP and including investment cost into the fitness function constraints using binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) algorithm. The particle swarm optimization is a recently developed evolutionary algorithm (EA) based on the swarm behavior in the nature and has a strong ability to find the most optimistic results. The motivation for using the BPSO technique is to reduce design effort and find an optimum planning network. Expanded network will possess a maximum adequacy to provide load demand and also the transmission lines overloaded later. The proposed idea has been tested on the Garvers network. The results evaluation shows that the network will possess maximum efficiency economically.
