Effect of Rank Based Correlation on K-Nearest Neighbour
type: item
description: Abstract Because of its simplicity, higher efficiency and effectiveness, K-nearest neighbour (KNN) is the most popular and chosen algorithm in the last few years. It has many conveniences with the exception of some inconvenience. In this study, we explore the correlation and dependence between attributes, and try to significantly improve the classification accuracy from existing algorithm by skipping correlated attributes. To get classification accuracy, we applied this skipping correlated attributes method in KNN ranking based classifier. In this approach, we proposed a rank minimum distance to find out the category which is unknown and take the best decision at the result. Here used various types of real world datasets for this experiment. In implementation the results are found from original KNN algorithm and by removing some skewed and high kurtosis valued attributes. Each datasets have highly correlated attributes which may affect samples to classify correctly, that is why we implemented KNN algorithm without correlated attributes and found as expected result. The accuracy of KNN algorithm without correlated attributes is better than original KNN and KNN without skewed and high kurtosis valued attributes. The results indicate that without correlated attributes, the rank based KNN method significantly outperforms than the regular k-nearest neighbor technique for different real-world datasets.

Smart City: How Do We Understand?
type: item
description: Abstract A smart city is a rising and multidisciplinary domain. It has been defined as effective use of information and communication technologies (ITCs) which enhance urban life in terms of quality of life, governance, institution, economy and mobility. A smart city is an urban region which is highly advanced in terms of infrastructure, real estate, communication and market visibility. In smart city, information technology is the main infrastructure and the source for providing essential services to residents. In the year 2015, India launched the program of smart cities which is urban lead economic growth. Many argue that smart cities bring positive change in social and economic life by adopting ITCs in planning and execution. In the last recent year, India introduced many programs to transform the cities and took many initiatives to provide better services to urban residents, like, e-governance has been a major step taken. Despite so many efforts, Indian cities face a lot of crisis such as financial, technological as well as implementing governance. Smart cities comprised of three essential components viz. technology, people and institution. There is no significant reference of institution and people in order to build smart cities; their main focus is on technological driven method, because technology is considered as a crucial factor for transforming cities into smart. It is good to use technology for fast solution of problem, but again question arises here that where we locate technology and at what level and how we consider smart city? The neoliberal pushes for smart cities in advance form of capitalist system. This neoliberal system shows how resources have been exploited by a small group of big companies and how a large organization becomes larger and small ones become smaller. In smart cities, technologies are enforced into communities without accessing their fundamental needs. On the other side, it may be said that smart cities are a modern form of imperial…

Remote Service Management System
type: item
description: Abstract The major objective of the proposed work is to design a system which can remotely monitor the performance of any device. The statistics available to both customer and manufacturer can be used to judge the device health. The technology enables the manufacturer to remotely watch the performance of the device, and if there is any abnormality observed in device performance, the remote server may locate the device and correct it remotely. If there is any hardware (part failure) issue, then they can directly send service persons to device location. This system is very useful for devices like inverters as they are placed at remote location and their failure may be a root cause of heavy loss to the user.

Design and Implementation of a Framework for Travel Package Recommendations
type: item
description: Abstract Travel package recommendations are very important research area as the recommendations can help travellers to make well-informed decisions. The rationale behind this is that travel packages that are suitable for particular trip or travel can provide many benefits to travellers. In the recent past, tourism became an important source of income to many public and private sectors. Therefore, governments are taking special interest on providing tourism facilities. Travel package refers to a collection of facilities and pricing that caters to the needs of travellers. In this paper, we proposed a framework that takes care of travel package recommendations. It takes history of tours of a given tourist and provides travel package recommendations automatically. The travel package recommendations are the outcome of the framework. Towards this end, it performs various operations like neighbourhood selection, collaborative pricing, price distributions, collaborative filtering and travel package analysis. Then it generates travel package recommendations. We built a prototype application that demonstrates proof of the concept. The experimental results revealed that the proposed framework is useful in rendering travel package recommendations.

Citizen Opinion Mining Initiatives in Government Decision Making by Categorizing Citizen Sentiments
type: item
description: Abstract Citizen opinion mining (C.O.M.) is a type of natural language processing (NLP) for finding the sentiments of citizen on various targeted government policies. Opinion mining techniques can be used for measuring influence facts like citizen behavior, desire, needs that help to improve government services. It includes building a system to gather and examine opinions for specific policy, made in weblog posts, comments, stories or tweets. Proposed approach gives brief description how citizen’s opinions play important role to make strong decision for any government policy. In our proposed approach, we categorized all the citizen opinion in different categories such as based on their profession (student, professor, common man, businessman) etc. Because if government wants to make decision for specific group of citizen then that group of citizens opinion are most important. The aim of our proposed approach is to make strong decision for citizens. Keywords: Decision making, data mining, SVM algorithm with RBF kernal function Cite this Article Shikha Parashar, R.K. Gupta.

Double Guard: Detection Intrusion in Multitier Application
type: item
description: In double guard intrusion in multitier system, it is important concept taking into account attacks. There is very little work being performed on multi-tiered anomaly detection (AD) systems. It generates models of network behavior for both web and database network interactions. In such multi-tiered architectures, the back-end database server is often protected in system behind a firewall, while the web servers are remotely over the internet. Though they are protected from direct remote attacks, the back-end systems are susceptible to attacks that use web requests as a means to exploit. It detects this type of attack since the web IDS would merely see typical user login traffic. The current multi-threaded web server architecture in this system carries multiple systems; it is not feasible to detect or profile such causal mapping between web server traffic and it has deserver traffic, since traffic cannot be clearly attributed to user sessions in the use.

Group Management for Secure and Dynamic Sharing of Data in Cloud Computing
type: item
description: Cloud computing has emerged as new model of computing which allows outsourcing data. The phenomenon of outsourcing data to cloud became obvious as cloud has infrastructure as a service (IaaS) layer for it. With this feature of cloud, there is growing trend in outsourcing data to cloud. When an enterprise outsources its data to cloud, it needs to take care of its functionalities in terms of data sharing across its users. The company creates groups and manages group members in order to have secure and dynamic data sharing. Group manager is responsible to determine data to be shared and privileges of group members. Group management is very dynamic thing where new users may be added and existing members may be removed from group. The users who are not associated with the group may involve in collusion attack. The existing systems focus on group management and data sharing. In this paper, we built a mechanism for revoking a user and disable all credentials given to him. We built a prototype application that demonstrates the proof of concept. The empirical results revealed that the proposed scheme is effective.

Public Auditing Based Detection of Packet Dropping Attacks in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
type: item
description: Wireless ad hoc networks are vulnerable to packet dropping attacks. However, they are also subjected to packet dropping due to link errors. In case of multi-hop wireless networks, it is essential to differentiate packet dropping due to link error or malicious attack. When any mechanism is able to differentiate this, can provide high level of security to the network with respect to packet dropping attacks. Many solutions came into existence as found in the literature. In this paper, we considered a special insider attack where malicious nodes are aware of other nodes in the network and exploit their knowledge to achieve packet drop which is potential risk in communication networks. Achieving satisfactory accuracy in detection of packet loss due to malicious attacks is given high importance. In this paper, public auditing mechanism is proposed and implemented that exploits correlations between lost packets. We proposed a public auditing architecture for accurate detection of packet drop attacks. We built a custom simulator using Java platform to demonstrate the proof of concept. The empirical results reveal the usefulness of the proposed system. Keywords: Wireless ad hoc network, packet dropping, auditing Cite this Article Raju Dara, Srikanth Ravula.

Design and Implementation of Smart House using LabVIEW
type: item
description: Everyone wants to enjoy comfort and ensure security at his or her homes. Most of the security and automation systems in the market are not flexible and full-fledged. There are two important issues addressed by the automation system. The first issue that is to be overcome is the compatibility with various devices and forthcoming technologies. This issue is overcome by auto updating of the central controlling tool. The second issue is that every automation system requires different software for different functions. Smart home management system overcomes this problem by integrating all the functions into single software. Energy is efficiently managed by separate controls, which are equipped by LabVIEW. To make a complete system, a hybrid of security and automation systems is designed. Controlling system is to be designed with more caution and user friendliness. The LabVIEW controlled system will control four main systems of the house, i.e., digital key (password protected), burglar alarm system, temperature sensor and fire alarm system. The four functions of LabVIEW controlled system are controlled using LabVIEW. The user even gets an option to configure his settings via LabVIEW.

Lossless and Reversible Data Hiding in Encrypted Images with Public Key Cryptography
type: item
description: In this paper, system uses the cryptography and steganography concept, which proposes a lossless, reversible, and combined data hiding methods for images encrypted by public key cryptosystems with probabilistic and homomorphic properties. In the lossless method, pixels of encrypted images are replaced with new values to embed additional data into LSB-planes of ciphertext pixels by multiple layer wet paper coding. Thus, original data can be directly extracted from encrypted image, and the data embedding does not affect the decryption of plaintext image. In the reversible method, histogram shrink is done before image encryption, so that the modification on cipher text images for data embedding will not cause any loss in plaintext image. With the combined lossless and reversible technique, receivers extract a part of embedded data before decryption, extract another part of embedded data and recover the original plaintext image after decryption.

A Survey on Detections and Preventions of IP Spoofed DoS/DDoS Attacks
type: item
description: In the modern computer world, maintaining the information in remote host is very difficult. The main issue involved in using internet lies in its security. According to the latest studies the DoS attack is the most popular attack in networks security. A denial of service (DoS) attack is an attempt to make a machine or network or its resource unavailable to its intended users. DoS also compromise the availability of network services. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) is that attack that which originates from multiple distributed attackers. Also it differs from DoS in its execution. The idea called IP spoofing is used recently for the DDoS attacks that even include attacks on E-commerce. As internet grows without much security concerns one can exploit the weaknesses of the network to alter or break its normal working. In this paper, we present various IP spoofed DoS/DDoS attack detection and prevention methods.

In today’s world, every minute, huge amount of structured and unstructured data is produced via various platforms. This data includes texts, images, and forums gathered from social media platforms. This increasing data implies a fundamental change in the way we analyze data since it is unable to analyze data using conventional methodologies and therefore, we need more advanced technologies and methodologies. There is increasing interest in business society to draw conclusions about the diverse type of data available to it from consumers. By proper analysis of users’ opinions business professionals can identify a trend, a problem or an opportunity, microsecond before anyone else, which can give them an edge over others in today’s competitive environment. One of the best methods to get valuable information is to extract sentiments and opinions from the text. Sentiment analytics aim at analyzing sentiments, emotions, attitudes, opinions etc., towards topics, products, people, organizations, services, etc. Nowadays data is evolving at a rapid pace, thus, there is a growing demand for analysis of big data in real-time. This paper aims at real-time sentiment analytics of twitter stream. More than 340 millions of tweets are generated daily, and this number is increasing rapidly, thus, there arises a demand for a much robust system to process these tweets in real-time. Here apache storm is being used for real-time sentiment analytics. The tweets are first parsed and then classified, followed by grouping.

Library Resources and Collection Development: A Study
type: item
description: The selection activities of the public, academic and large special libraries will also vary depending upon their sizes. In small public libraries, most of the librarians are involved in the selection procedure. As the library system grows, adds branches and expands services, selection is usually delegated to the departmental heads or branch library supervisors. A large metropolitan public library system frequently assigns the selection activities to a committee composed of representatives for all service programs, though not from every branch library. This committee formulates a list of title that different service programs may select from thus serving as a first level screening group.

Park Information System for Kolkata: A Low Cost Web Enabled Solution
type: item
description: Green parks in urban environment play an important role in promoting public health, art, culture, tourism and economy. City dwellers require information about the parks to get the benefit of green spaces. Web GIS technology has a potential to maintain inventory and disseminate spatial and aspatial information over the Internet. Open source software enables cost effective and feature rich implementation, operation and maintenance of Web GIS application. In this study an efficient approach is presented for developing an open source Web GIS application based on Geoserver as a web GIS server and PostgreSQL/PostGIS as an object oriented relational database management system (ORDBMS). Open layer is used to deploy the mapping contents to the web application. HTML together with PHP and JavaScript is used for developing the interactive user interface for effective dissemination, sharing and management of park information of Kolkata city. The application plots locations of parks along with name and ground photographs over high resolution satellite images. It enables to search and navigate the map based on ward, borough, and postal index number (PIN). It also facilitates to identify features, measure the distance between points and area of the object in the map in web environment. This application is found to be useful for city dwellers and green parks conservation.

Crowd workers perform small chunks of larger tasks in return for a reward, which can be monetary, material, psychological and so on. One of the biggest challenges of crowd mining is controlling the quality of the answers collected from the crowd. The diversity of workers’ expertise, questions of wide-ranging degrees of difficulty and the lack of enough after-work evaluation techniques are the reasons behind it. To address the problem, we propose some strategies for improving the quality and diversity of the explanations produced by the crowd workers. We have focused on controlling quality from three dif…

Extraction of Retinal Features in Fundus Images for Glaucoma Diagnosis
type: item
description: Glaucoma is a major cause for blindness, identified early by the structural changes of optic nerve head in the retina. Retinal image analysis is emerging as an important screening tool for prior detection of eye diseases. Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease in which damage to the optic nerve leads to progressive, irreversible vision loss and it is considered as second leading cause for blindness worldwide. In this research work, segmentation of optic disc and optic cup and extraction of retinal features from the fundus images is proposed. The optic cup and optic disc are segmented by active contour, level set, K-means clustering based segmentation techniques. The proposed method has been evaluated for 110 fundus images of DRIONS-DB database. The features are extracted from the processed segmented image and used to identify the severity level of glaucoma. The cup to disc ratio (CDR) is calculated from the segmented fundus image and the severity level of disease is identified if the CDR value exceeds 0.6. Then, the texture based feature extraction is done and these features are used for detection of glaucoma. The features such as CDR (Cup to Disc Ratio) and GLCM (Gray level Co-occurrence Matrix) are used to diagnose the glaucoma.
