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.
Vehicles of today are increasingly being networked via various available networking technologies. IEEE 802.11p advocates Vehicle-to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communication via Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) between vehicles in the frequency range of 5.9 GHz. Also, IEEE 802.11j proposes the usage of 4.9 GHz frequency range for Wi-Fi. This paper proposes a dual band antenna...
This paper presents a study on how the performance of Phonetic engine(PE) varies with different set of spectral features selected for it. An exclusive study is carried out with a PE developed in the Manipuri language. Here, we built the PE using phonetic transcriptions and modeling of each phonetic unit by Hidden Markov Model (HMM). The symbols of International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) (revised in...
Software Reverse Engineering scenario would involve software that has been worked upon for years and carries several modules of a business in its lines of code. Unfortunately the source code of the application has been lost, what remains is “native” or “binary” code. Traditional obfuscators work on binary code but they are tedious and do not provide us with a specific obfuscation depending upon the...
Vehicle routing problem (VRP) involves minimizing total route length while visiting each customer location exactly once. In capacitated vehicle routing problem the nodal demand of the vehicle need to be satisfied. For large scale problem use of clustering approach can improve the solution. In this paper an effective modified partition clustering approach has been proposed. The main purpose of proposed...
Automated musical genre classification using machine learning techniques has gained popularity for research and development of powerful tools to organize music collections available on web. Mel cepstral co-efficients (MFCC's) have been successfully used in music genre classification but they do not reflect the correlation between the adjacent co-efficients of Mel filters of a frame neither the relation...
A systematic synthesis procedure is given for realizing a class of oscillators. An oscillator basically consists of an amplifier and a passive network N in its feedback path. When gain A of the amplifier is negative real one additional buffer amplifier is required. It is shown that if OA-based amplifier is used for realizing A, the synthesized oscillators are such that their performance is not influenced...
Scoliosis is a 3D deformation of the human spine. It is evaluated using 3D stereo-radiographic reconstruction from the biplanar x-rays. The combined stereo-corresponding point and geometric (CSCPG) reconstruction algorithm is used for this purpose. The CSCPG reconstruction requires six stereo-corresponding landmarks per vertebra to be identified on the biplanar x-rays. Currently, these landmarks are...
Several methods have been explained for blind source separation (BSS) in the literature. Those methods fail when considered for separation of speech signals. This paper mainly focuses on blind speech signal separation from the observations using canonical correlation. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated in terms of signal to interference ratio (SIR) and time domain waveforms of separated...
Autism is a learning disorder falling in the ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) spectrum, varying from being slightly autistic to severe. The level of autism is judged by a special educator after close examination of the child's activities. This paper presents an algorithm that can automate this assessing procedure. While a game is being played the activity pattern of the player is captured...
Everyone likes to get the best price, but best price cannot be provided to everyone. This paper proposes an algorithm to provide the best price to the most prospective buyer. E-Negotiation will be based on buyer's activity pattern and surfing behavior. Unlike existing e-negotiation models proposed for B2C, B2B and C2C Ecommerce applications, where the intervention of buyer is present, this paper proposes...
Wireless sensor networks are very suitable for remote sensing and monitoring tasks. Sensor nodes being battery operated devices and other limited resources present many challenges for protocols in WSNs. Researches are being continuously conducted with the purpose of combating these issues. Clustering in WSNs aim to distribute the energy load of the nodes by assigning some aggregator nodes or cluster...
Automatic generation of a time table with multi-level constraints is a challenging exercise. Typically, a timetable problem has many possible solutions in the initial search space, each with a distinct fitness level. In this paper we propose a multi-stage hybrid solution based on an evolutionary algorithm where the initial population is first generated that satisfies all the hard constraints. A user...
With the rapid emergence of cloud and its magnificent features such as high availability, reliability and security, a large number of clients are moving to the cloud platform. This migration of clients has led to increased burden on the resources such as CPU, network and memory. Hence, the problem of high power consumption, increased carbon footprints and need for higher cooling effects arose. However,...
