Conference proceedings front matter may contain various advertisements, welcome messages, committee or program information, and other miscellaneous conference information. This may in some cases also include the cover art, table of contents, copyright statements, title-page or half title-pages, blank pages, venue maps or other general information relating to the conference that was part of the original...
July 2013 unleashed one of the worst floods in the history of mankind for the North Indian state of Uttarakhand. Four years later and still little can be said about the state of affairs in the region that is still recuperating from the loss of lives, property and biodiversity. This paper attempts to utilize the state-of-the-art machine learning techniques for flood susceptibility assessment in the...
Graph coloring problems are widely used to study and model the different real time applications. Many real time applications such as Job scheduling, Aircraft scheduling, By-processor tasks, region identification use the concept of graph coloring. An L(2, 1)-coloring of a graph G is a function f from vertex set V(G) to the set of all non-negative integers such that the following two conditions are...
The Semantic Web is the web of today. It puts semantic web documents on www and has become a universal medium for the exchange of information. But it suffers from lack of effective interfaces for end users hindering its wide adoption. A Semantic Web portal offers information access of a specific domain and uses the standard web technologies like HTML, XML, JSP etc. along with the semantic web technologies...
Unlike their integer order counterparts, fractional order differentiation is a non-local operation and its computation requires evaluating nested loops over the history of the operated functions. This causes the process to be terribly slow when software based implementations are made using interpreted languages like Python, MATLAB®, etc. The present work demonstrates the development of a fast yet...
Various real life social networks exhibit multiple types of interaction among entities, thus this arrangement builds a compilation of continuous growing networks called as multiplex networks. Lately, the area related to centrality measurement of entities in multiplex networks has developed a significant interest among researchers. However, the concept of structural holes has not received significant...
Particle swarm optimization is widely used in past decades as optimization method for unimodal, multimodal, separable and non-separable optimization problems. A popular variant of PSO is PSO-W (Inertia Weight PSO). Attempts has made to modify the PSO with Selective Multiple Inertia Weights (SMIWPSO) to enhance the searching capability of PSO. The present paper implemented the SMIWPSO with four best...
AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System) is the most widely used identification system. But the most critical part in fingerprint identification is reliable extraction and matching of fingerprint features which depends on quality of input fingerprint image. But it is quite rare that the input fingerprint image will be of very good quality. So there is necessity of some fingerprint enhancement...
Temperature measurement with the help of Infrared thermography is often used for predictive maintenance programs to compute the severity of a problem. One of the most important factors in assessing any electrical system or equipment's condition is its temperature. However, the temperature measurement alone is not sufficient but needs a proper profiling for correct diagnosis or analysis. The amount...
This paper presents the CMOS Down-Conversion Mixer for UWB systems., The circuit is simulated under 0.18μm TSMC CMOS technology. Common mode feedback is used in the circuit and buffer stage is used to provide th impedance matching. The Passive RLC matcing is used at the input ports. The simulation result shows the conversion gain 15.484dB with noise figure of 15.894dB and IIP3 value of 10.009dBm....
Data-intensive cloud computing is used to manage a large amount of data. Transaction management is one of the most considerable aspect to any database management system. ACID-based transaction processing is allowed for static cloud computing environment. But for moving cloud environment it is difficult to maintain all the ACID properties. As a result for moving cloud environment CAP theorem is considered...
Event Detection has gained a lot of attention as a potential research area in the last decade due to emergence and huge adoption of online social media platforms. Though the problem is examined extensively by many researchers, it is the first and foremost important to understand events in detail and then apply detection techniques to identify them. In this paper, we will first study the properties...
Software Defined Network(SDN) decouples the control plane from the data plane. The aim of this decoupling in SDN helps to create an open programmable network. Programmability offers the capability to write custom network modules i.e. topology discovery, switching, routing, traffic monitoring, access control, etc. Building SDN applications in the primary controller(i.e. Pox, Opendaylight, etc.) configuration...
Social media sites like Flickr permit clients to annotate pictures with free labels referred as “tag”, which altogether contribute to the improvement of the web picture retrieval. Tag-based picture hunt is an important strategy to discover pictures contributed by social media users in such social sites. In this paper, we propose a social re-positioning framework for tag-based and feature based image...
In this paper, an algorithm has been proposed based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) with a white balanced input to enhance the visual quality of the under-water images. Generally, the underwater images are whisked by blurring effect, scattering effect etc. because of poor lighting condition. EMD is a signal decompose algorithm which is particularly useful for non-stationary and non-linear signals...
Energy utilization & management schemes at home, business and industry have been successfully implemented in the context of smart grid. But the public street light system has not been taken under serious consideration. The conventional street light system is the potential consumer of electricity, and large amount of electricity wasted. The consumption of energy is consistent and has no concern...
This paper elaborates the enhancement in speed of electric vehicle Brushless DC motor with reduction in gain of PI Controller by using Particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique along with fuzzy controller. PSO technique is used to tune the parameters of PI Controller. A fuzzy logic controller is designed to control the output of electric vehicle motor. The system is modelled and simulated using...
LabVIEW is an application software used in virtual instrumentation (VI). It offers better data acquisition and interfacing with hardware. Haptic technology has vast applications in various fields such as medical, military and other day-to-day life's products, for example, smart phones, video games. In the haptic system, stability and transparency are the key performance issues which are affected by...
This paper describes a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) which finds an answer to the navigation problems of an autonomous unmanned vehicle. This autonomous unmanned vehicle is considered to be navigating in an unknown environment comprising of numerous static objects. The system consists of two Mamdani-FIS controllers. The first controller is a Multiple Input Single Output (MISO) system which is used...
