Presents the introductory welcome message from the conference proceedings. May include the conference officers' congratulations to all involved with the conference event and publication of the proceedings record.
Image segmentation is the key component of identifying plant leaf diseases. Most of the available techniques for leaf disease segmentation use grayscale values. In this paper, an automatic seeded region growing (SRG) algorithm for coloured images proposed by Y. Shih and S. Cheng is modified for segmentation of plant leaf diseases. The colour difference between adjacent regions is computed using Euclidean...
Two heuristics have been designed to generate a random monotone polygon from a given set of ‘n’ points lying on a 2-Dimensional plane. The first algorithm runs in O(n2) time using constant work space algorithm. The second algorithm is designed using dynamic memory allocation to generate x-monotone in O(n) time with a preprocessing time complexity of O(nlogn).
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...
Routers can also function as firewalls and perform various operations on the incoming and outgoing packets. In case when all the packets share common header characteristics, it is termed as a packet flow. In order to classify a packet, routers perform a lookup on a classifier table using one or more fields from the packet header to classify the packet into its corresponding flow. A classifier is a...
CMRS (Central Mining Research Station) Geomechanical rating of rock mass is a classification system based on the various parameters which was defined by CMRS. The rating system may possess some fuzziness in its practical applications. For example, groundwater seepage and weatherability (measured by I Cycle slake durability) are related by experts in linguistic terms with approximation. Descriptive...
For multipath propagation systems OFDM provides good choice but also suffers with high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) at the transmitter side. High PAPR values results in non-linearites at transmission leading to complex designing. Therefore reduction of PAPR is necessary for lesser complexities, higher efficiency and greater stability. In this paper various PAPR reduction techniques have been...
The efficient classification of nuclear receptors and their subfamilies plays an important role in the detection of various diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and inflammatory diseases and their related drug design and discovery. As of now, few methods have been reported in literature for the same but the performance and efficacy of these methods are not up to the desired level. To address the issue...
To meet the ever increasing demand of computing capacity and to cater towards collaborative engineering grid systems have emerged as the effective solution. Scheduling on such systems play a very critical role to ensure that the available resources are assigned and used optimally. Scheduling on grid has been proven to be an NP hard problem owing to the heterogeneity of the participating resources,...
Web mining is a technique through which various analyses can be done so that it can be used for a variety of applications such as page ranking. Page ranking denotes the popularity or usage of web pages over internet. Although there are various page ranking algorithms implemented, but HITS and Google Page ranking are the most popular raking algorithms. This technique provides efficient ranking of web...
An algorithm has been designed to compute a random monotone polygon from an input set of points lying on a 2-D dimensional plane. Our algorithm is based on sweep line method with some modifications and it computes monotone polyogn in O(nlogn) time complexity and O(n) space complexity. LEDA software has been used to execute our algorithm.
Machine Translation is one of the research fields of Computational Linguistics. The objective of many MT Researchers is to develop an MT System that produce good quality and high accuracy output translations and which also covers maximum language pairs. As internet and Globalization is increasing day by day, we need a way that improves the quality of translation. For this reason, we have developed...
In Cloud Computing security, the existing mechanisms: Anti-virus programs, Authentications, Firewalls are not able to withstand the dynamic nature of threats. So, User Profiling System, which registers user's activities to analyze user's behavior, augments the security system to work in proactive and reactive manner and provides an enhanced security. This paper focuses on designing a User Profiling...
Despite the advancements in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technologies, problem of Indic script character recognition remains challenging. Especially in case of handwritten characters the challenges are even more. In this work, we focus on off-line recognition of handwritten characters of Gurmukhi, an Indic script commonly used in state of Punjab in India. As a part of this work, we collected...
Job scheduling (JS) is one of the most important issues in a Cloud system. The objective of job schedulers in cloud computing is to meet users' requirements and optimize the utilization of cloud resources. To achieve better QoS with high resource utilization in a cloud environment, an improved backfill algorithm (IBA) using balanced spiral (BS) method can be used. Results show that IBA minimizes resource...
Sleep is not merely a BREAK from our regular work. It is must to be physically and mentally refreshed every day. Having a sound nights sleep, one can perform best in whatever job in hand. But some time, sleep gets disturbed along with some awkward behaviors known as sleep disorders. The various techniques and practices are followed by numerous researchers for the diagnosis of the unusual behaviors...
Sleep is a great natural occurring state in which everything is forgotten for a while, become fresh and ready for next coming daily routine exercises. Any person can lag in these exercises, if their sleep is not well taken. But, sometime it is observed that the sleep gets disturbed due to some awkward behaviors known as sleep disorders. The various intelligent techniques/methods are proposed for the...
