Country	:	India
Authors	:	Maria Tsvere , Srikanta Swamy , Leonorah Tendayi Nyaruwata

Abstract: This paper reports in part some of the findings of a PhD study regarding visibility of gender issues in the use of the internet in university contexts. The study adopted a cross sectional descriptive survey research design and collected data using a structured questionnaire. Data were obtained from 440 full time university academics that were selected using simple random sampling technique. Data were analysed quantitatively using descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS version 17. This study revealed a significant relationship between gender and internet usage in favour of males. While both male and female academics were not fully utilizing the internet for university teaching, more male academics used the internet for research more than female academics did. The study concluded that gender is a key factor in the discourse concerning internet and university academic practice. Internet usage differences have serious implications on mainstreaming ICT in higher education curricula as both female and male academics are expected to mentor students and participate in virtual co-construction of knowledge. The study recommended that university management should develop gender sensitive information technology learning environments and targeted training programmes. Female lecturers should be encouraged to be proactive and participate in global developmental initiatives.

Authors	:	Meghana Sapkal, 2Shekhar Patil, Leesensa Vispute, Santosh Jagtap. Guided by Prof. S.C. Chaudhari

Abstract: The GPRS based LAN monitoring and controlling system is mainly developed to focus on expansion of various networks services or facilities which are essential for brilliantly monitoring a LAN network. In this system, workstations are collected to arrange them in a network. Managing and regulating the activities in the network while at the workplace is an easy task. But, while you are outstation it becomes difficult to monitor and control. You can always have your smart handset or GPRS enable device of any type which will fulfill this purpose. The interface between the clients and the remote administrator is achieved via the central monitoring server through sending and receiving email only. The project targets to develop an integrated software solution also this permits a network supervisor to distantly monitor the LAN. This is done by his email compatible devices and can see tasks on the client side. This project is developed for giving out the best particulars about a network to its administrator, on his GPRS enable device, when he is at a remote location.

Title	:	Mutual Trust to Provide Data Security in Cloud Environment
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Srinivas Kolli , Ch.Sravan Kumar , Dr P.Chenna Reddy,

Abstract: We introduce a model for provable data possession (PDP) that allows a client that has stored data at an untrusted server to verify that the server possesses the original data without retrieving it. The model generates probabilistic proofs of possession by sampling random sets of blocks from the server, which drastically reduces I/O costs. The client maintains a constant amount of metadata to verify the proof. The challenge/response protocol transmits a small, constant amount of data, which minimizes network communication. Thus, the PDP model for remote data checking supports large data sets in widely-distributed storage systems. It is also superior in performance by minimizing the use of expensive public-key cryptography in metadata management. We present the architecture and implementation of various SHAROES com- ponents and our experiments demonstrate performance superior to other proposals by over 40% on a number of benchmarks.

Country	:	India
Authors	:	P. Adarsha. Dr. N. Chandra Sekhar Reddy. S. Srinivas

Abstract: A short time agone, social spam and on-line abuse were much non-existent. As email spam filters became simpler, catching over ninety fifth of those messages, spammers have moved to a replacement target – the social net. Over ninetieth of social network users have knowledgeable about social spam in some kind.Those doing the "spamming" is automatic spam-bots, fault accounts, or real individuals.. during this paper we have a tendency to investigate strategies for exploiting such community feedback to mechanically determine prime quality content. As a action at law, we have a tendency to specialise in Yahoo! Answers, an oversized community question/answering portal that\'s significantly made within the quantity and kinds of content and social interactions accessible in it. we have a custom to introduce a general classification framework for merging the proof from totally differential sources of knowledge, which will be tuned automatically for a given social media sort and quality definition. above all, for the community question/answering domain, we have a custom to show that our system is in a position to separate high-quality things from the remainder with accuracy near that of humans

Country	:	Egypt
Authors	:	Mona F. M. Mursi. Hossam Eldin H. Ahmed. Fathi E. Abd El-samie. Ayman H. Abd El-aziem

Abstract: Due to the growth of multimedia applications, the protection of this multimedia data becomes a very important issue of communication and storage; especially when it is transferred over an insecure channel, where apart from preventing illegal data access, images are used in many fields such as medical science and military. The protection of images can be done with image encryption. The majority of encrypted image transmission schemes does not adequately take into account the effect of bit errors occurring during transmission and this issue is considered a problem that should be handled by an efficient coding scheme. Hence, error correction code should be applied after encryption to protect encrypted images against channel errors. In this paper, we present a survey of image encryption techniques and channel coding techniques.

Title	:	Load Rebalancing Algorithm for Distributed File System In Clouds
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Prof. V.R.Ghule . Miss. Gayatri B. Pawar. Mr. Abhijit Shinde

Abstract: The rapid growth of the World Wide Web has brought huge increase in traffic to popular web sites. As a consequence, end users often experience poor response time or denial of service. A cluster of multiple servers that behaves like a single host can be used to improve the throughput and alleviate the server bottlenecks. To achieve such a cluster, we need robust routing algorithms that provide scalability, effective load balancing and high availability in a constantly changing environment. Due to an ever-increasing diversity of workloads and cluster configurations, it is very difficult to propose a single algorithm that performs best under all conditions. In this paper, we review a number of proposed load balancing algorithms for clusters of web servers. We focus on an experimental analysis of the performance under a number of well-known load balancing algorithms. We study the performance of the algorithms through a simulation to evaluate their performance under different conditions and workloads. The results of our study are reported in the paper.

Title	:	Analyzing Process Behavior to Predict Resource Allocation in Distributed Environment by Using Time Series and Online Predictive Approach Algorithm
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Rucha Ravindra Galgali. Prof. S. G. Vaidya. Prof. S. M. Tidke

Abstract: A distributed system is a collection of different computers to handle large amount of data, the connected computers can share and coordinate their data on network. It is very difficult to for server to handle, analyze & process such a large amount of data, so that the performance of operations performed by these systems is reduced and they will produce inefficient data as a result. To handle this problem this paper has implemented the online predictive approach algorithm which uses time series to monitor process behavior, analyze it and predict the future observations to determine the resources required by the process in future.The resource prediction is used to optimize the data access operations like read, write, uploading and downloading the file to and from distributed system & which will improve the performance of distributed system. Time series is generated for every operation so that client will get performance chart.

Title	:	A Review on Speckle Noise Reduction Techniques
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Er. Kritika Bansal. Er. Akwinder kaur

Abstract: In medical image processing, Image denoising plays a very important role in diagnosis. Medical images are very much inconsistent. In medical imaging, Ultrasound is very popular due to its low cost, least harmful to human body, real time system and small in size. Besides its advantage, It suffers from a major problem i.e. speckle noise which reduces the diagnosis ability. Speckle noise is the result of diffuse scattering, which occurs when the sound waves (ultrasound) randomly interferes with a small particle or object on a scale comparable to small wavelength. Speckle Noise is an inherent property of SAR and ultrasound images. As Speckle noise is multiplicative in nature which is very much difficult to remove. So this paper presents a review on different spatial and transform methods such as spatial domain technique and wavelet domain techniques which are already proposed for filtering speckle noise in ultrasound images

Title	:	Low selectivity problem using the concept of sampling
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Mr. Y. P. Murumakar. Prof. Y.B.Gurav

Abstract: There is an increase in the interest to utilize various available network structures and also the available information on social peers for improving the information needs of a user or node, this is because of the birth of online social networks. In this paper, the focus is on improvement of the performance of collecting information from the neighborhood of a user or a node in a dynamic social network. To explore user's or node's social network correctly we have introduced sampling based algorithms by keeping in mind the structure of social network and to approximate the quantities of interest in short time. By showing correlations across our samples we have introduced and also analyzed variants of basic sampling scheme. Here, the models of distributed and centralized network are considered. Assuming that information for each user or node is available we have showed that our algorithms can be utilized to rank nodes which are neighbor to the user. We demonstrate the working of our algorithms for approximation of various quantities of interest and validate analysis results. This is done using real and synthetic data. The methods we describe can be possibly easily adopted in verities of strategies which aim to collect information efficiently from a social graph.

Title	:	Minimization Of Side Effects Of Knowledge Hiding Based On Association Rule Mining
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Ms. Snehal V. Waghchaure . Mr. Nitin J. Khapale. ,Ms.Badhitala Thulasi

Abstract: Privacy is very important in Data Mining. Association rule mining, is a important technique, has already been applied in a wide range of areas. Large databases cannot be secured by encryption or other techniques because of complexities. These security issues can be divided into two categories: data hiding and knowledge hiding. This paper deals with the problem of association rule mining which preserves the confidentiality of each database i.e. Knowledge hiding. Knowledge hiding is concerned with the sanitization of confidential knowledge from the data. There are many methods to solve this problem. The one, presented in the paper is called support-based and confidence-based blocking schemes. Apriori algorithm is used for mining rule from database. Knowledge hiding is achieved using ISL and DSR. The improvement over sensitive rule hiding is proposed to offer more accuracy and security with smaller negative impact.
Keywords: Association rule mining, rule hiding with minimum side effects, ISL, DSR.

In Sensor networks, data collected by sensor nodes need to be tagged with time and location information. Localization techniques are used to determine the location information of a sensor node. It enables efficient routing, provides power saving, assists in the applications like target tracking, useful in locating the source of the data. The localization can be categorized as range-free or range-based schemes based on whether the range information is used among the localization process. Because of the hardware limitations of the network devices, solutions in range-free localization are being pursued as a cost-effective alternative to more expensive range-based approaches. In this paper described recent techniques used for localization.
Keywords: Wireless sensor networks, localization, anchor, multi hop, range free and range based.

Title	:	Semantic Based Amalgamation of Pulverized Components Using Ontology
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Mr. Susheel George Joseph M.C.A, M.Tech. M.Phil(CS)

Abstract: The problem faced by both software developers and user in development environment and user environment is finding compatible and complementary components in large set of different applications. Different application built in different environment, at different time, by different technology creates a chaotic situation for user and developer to select a required component from vast variety of applications. The problem can be solved by applying technologies related to semantic web. Ontology is created which relates pulverized components based on requirements.
Keyword: Semantic Web, Ontology, Pulverization and amalgamation.

Title	:	A Study on Relational Semantic Video Content Extraction Using Bayesian Network Classifier
Country	:	India
Authors	:	S.Rajarajeshwari. G.Kalaimathi Priya. S.Grace Mary. Dr.V.Sambath kumar

Abstract: Multimedia data mining is an emergent field, which consists of image mining, video data mining etc. The content based extraction in videos is an important application due to the rapid growth in the video based application. Semantic content is the high level concepts that is the objects and events, for example in a basketball game, the player, a ball are all consider to be an object and the actions takes place throughout the game is consider to be the events. In concept extraction the events and objects are extracted, and it is not that much efficient for the user because the relationship between the objects are missing. Therefore the Bayesian network classifier is used to extract the relationship between the objects. It allows the user to extract the semantic video content more efficiently. The Bayesian network classifier uses an ontology which includes the construction of domain ontology. The VISCOM is used to construct ontology for a given domain and the rule based model is used to define some complex situation more effectively. Using Bayesian Network Classifier improves the extraction process by providing the semantic content with relation between the object.
Index terms: Multimedia mining, Video data mining, Semantic content, Domain ontology, Bayesian network classifier.

Title	:	A new F-shaped XOR gate and its implementations as novel adder circuits based Quantum-dot cellular Automata (QCA)
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Peer Zahoor Ahmad. Firdous Ahmad. Hilal Ahmad Khan

Abstract: Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is a novel nanotechnology that promises smaller size, lower power consumption, with faster speed and is considered as a solution to the scaling problems in complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology. We propose a novel QCA F-shaped XOR gate. The proposed gate is simple in structure and powerful in terms of implementing digital circuits. We implement novel adder circuits like half adders and half subtractors by introducing the proposed XOR gate. The proposed adder circuits are simple in design and occupy a fraction of area, as compared to previous designs. These circuits are suitable for optimizing the complex structures. Simulation results demonstrate that the new structures have achieved significant improvements in terms of circuit complexity. The functionality of proposed structures have been checked by QCADesigner tool.

Title	:	An Efficient Method of Sparse Image Fusion with Application to Pan – Sharpening
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Rashmi B.V. Gowda. Deepa T.P.

Abstract: Image Fusion is a framework where a composite image can be produced, that contains enhanced or simply better information about the target or scene compared to individual source images. Spectral distortion is one of the important problems in the fusion of remote sensing images. We have various Earth observation satellites such as IKONOS, GeoEye, Quick Bird, WorldView-2 etc. These Earth observation satellites composed of two types of channels, i.e. High Resolution(HR) Panchromatic Channels and Low Resolution(LR) Multispectral Channels. The fusion of HR Panchromatic Channels and LR Multispectral Channels is called "Pan-Sharpening". We have various methods for fusing these High Resolution (HR) Panchromatic Channels and Low Resolution (LR) Multispectral Channels. Due to the difference of gray values between the HR Panchromatic Channels and LR Multispectral Channels, conventional methods suffer from Spectral distortion. Here we are proposed a new method called Image Fusion by Sparse Representation to solve the Pan-Sharpening problem. This method gives better performance and Higher Spatial and Spectral resolution with less Spectral distortion compared with other existing methods.
Keywords: Data Fusion, Pan-Sharpening, sparse coefficients estimation, Sparse Representation.
