Software development models follow fixed or iterative design and development approach. There is no scope for dynamic testing in software development process. To make the software development effective and reliable, a new approach is required. We present the new software process model which will address all the concerns and consider each phase of software development as software development process and provide an effective model for software development phases. Main motive of this technique is to monitor security requirements and identify security threats at each phase. For developing large sized system, still there are some limitations associated with it. It doesn't have the phase where a developer or organization can impose some security to the code. So the main concern of the technique is security and trademark.

Int J latest Technol Engng Mgmt appl Sci 2013, 2(1), 146-52.

With the rapid growth of the information age, open distributed systemshave become increasingly popular. The need for protection and security in a distributed environment has never been greater. The conventional approach to security has been to enforce a system-widepolicy, but this approach will not work for large distributed systemswhere entirely new security issues and concerns are emerging. Weargue that a new model is needed that shifts the emphasis from"system as enforcer" to user-definable policies. Users ought to be able to select the level of security they need and pay only the necessary overhead. Moreover. Ultimately, they must be responsible for their own security. This research is being carried out in the context of the Legion project. Authors by describing the objectives and philosophy of the overall project and then present the conceptual model and design decisions. Aset of technical challenges and related issues are also addressed.

A joint ISO/CCITT committee known as JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) standard for continuous-tone still images, both grayscale and color. Image compression is a widely addressed researched area. Still Image Compression is an important issue in Internet, mobile communication, digital library, digital photography, multimedia, and many other applications. A DCT-based method is specified for "lossy'' compression, and a predictive method for "lossless'' compression. JPEG features a simple lossy technique known as the Baseline method, a subset of the other DCT-based modes of operation. Image compression attempts to reduce the number of bits required to digitally represent an image while maintaining its perceived visual quality. JPEG compression can be applied to movies as well; it is simply done one frame at a time.

This paper considers an Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model, when the demand is linear and cycle time is fixed. Section 1 provides an introduction to justify the reason to consider an EOQ model for deteriorating items with normal life time and partial backlogging. In practice, the backlogging rate is usually a variable and the same is dependent on the waiting time for the next replenishment. The assumptions pertaining to the proposal model when the demand is linear and the cycle time is fixed are given in Section 2. Section 2.2 provides the model formulation and solutions. To characterize the model it is necessary to carryout sensitivity analyses. In Section 3, we examine effects of the changes in the eight parameters on the optimal total cost, optimal time and optimal initial inventory after fulfilling back orders. Sensitivity analyses have been performed by considering numerical examples. By keeping one set of seven parameters fixed at a time the sensitivity changes are observed for different values of the remaining seven parameters. Concluding remarks and recommendations are given in Section 4.

Software systems find themselves working in an environment that forces them to be undergoing rapid change, and witheach change to provide better services. In some systems, the functional requirements are easy to provide, it is the non-functional ones that are difficult. Yet with the ever changing requirements comes the demands for better quality and performance. For software system to achieve its goal, there is need for a technique which will allow it to change while improving its performance. This paper surveys some techniques for evolving non-functional properties of software. These techniques use different features of the software system to support software evolution. Based on the techniques surveyed, we recommended some features that techniques for evolving software properties should have.

There is a broad spectrum of packet data networks emerging onto the networking scene. The emergence of broad spectrum networks has also seen a growing number of applications involving multimedia communications. This growth in multimedia applications is a driving force towards providing a better Quality of Service (QoS) to users. A major component in providing QoS is the packet scheduler. In this paper authers use a frame based scheduling technique known as Mini Round Robin (MRR) to provide a better QoS for multimedia applications. To the authors knowledge, there has been no previous work addressing the QoS scheduling of Diffserv traffic and packet transmission delay.

Wireless networks are becoming more and more common in today's networking environment. One of the earliest of the IEEE standards for wireless networks is the IEEE 802.11 standard. Most communications in an 802.11 network use the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). Unfortunately, the 802.11 DCF was not designed with Quality of Service (QoS) in mind. However, as more and more applications tend to be run on the 802.11 network, there is a growing demand for QoS, even in the DCF. Recently researchers have emulated a shortest job first scheduling policy by using a new resetting backoff technique in DCF. In this paper, we take advantage of this new backoff technique to provide a new level of QoS to the DCF of the IEEE 802.11 wireless networks. To the authors knowledge this is the first work to address scheduling Diffserv traffic classes in a wireless network environment.

Phantom for use in radiotherapy treatment planning of human pelvic anatomical region has been designed with six hollows for inserting materials mimicking different biological tissues and the ionization chamber. The yellow plaster of Paris was used to mimic the bone, Styrofoam for the lung and water for soft tissue. The phantom was scanned with Toshiba-Asteion CT-scanner and the images were transferred to the CMS-XiO Treatment Planning System with 3 different algorithms. Measurements of Monitor Units were conducted using 6 MeV photon beams from the ELEKTA-Precise clinical linear accelerator with iso-centric set up. The test of the phantom was done using Fast Superposition (FSS), the Superposition (S) and the Convolution (C) algorithms. Results with FSS algorithm showed better accuracy than S and C. The standard deviation of measurements with bone heterogeneity for all plans varied between +2% and -3%. FSS has faster computation speed than other algorithms; however C has a good balance of speed versus precision in homogeneous medium. Choice of algorithm for use should not be based on the speed of computation alone but also on the accuracy, especially for applications with modern radiotherapy techniques such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).

Modern scanning facility, in general restricts the size of the document or the picture to be scanned to the size of standard A4 page. Also, scanning pages from a hard bound book, or manuscripts which are immovable is problematic. Document scanning with an over-the-desk video camera offers an attractive alternative to the flat-bed scanner, photocopier or fax machine, since the documents need not be moved from their usual place of reading. However, standard digital cameras can sample full A4 pages at only 100 dots per inch, which merely translates to a crudest reproduction. This motivates the use of "mosaicing", whereby multiple, overlapping images of the document are stitched together seamlessly to form a high resolution composite. Here we present a novel method for mosaicing documents. The method is applicable for documents which are not ortho-normal i.e. having skew. The image is pre-processed to get a skew free image and then inserted into a two dimensional singly linked list data structure that we propose to use for effective mosaicing. The method also works effectively for multi-lingual and hand-written documents.

Digital Bleek and Lloyd is a collection of digitised historical artefacts on the Bushman people of Southern Africa. The underlying software was initially designed to enable access from as many people as possible so usage requirements were minimal - it was not even necessary to use a web server or database. However, the system was not focused on preservation, extensibility, or reusability. In this article, it is argued that such desirable attributes could manifest themselves in a natural evolution of the Bleek and Lloyd software system in the direction of greater simplicity. A case study demonstrates that this is indeed feasible in the case of the Digital Bleek and Lloyd and potentially more generally applicable in digital libraries.

This paper aims to present an experimental prototype model developed using DSpace for the design of a web portal which provides access to space science grey literature. Grey literature is that which is not readily available as other information and which is difficult to identify and access. The system is based on open source software (Java SDK, Apache, Tomcat, Apache Ant, PostgreSQL, and Dspace). SpaceGL is an important and ground-breaking example of an alternative method of delivering current research results to many potential users. It can act as a central hub which collects and disseminates space science grey literature produced in India through a single user interface. It can also be a showcase which provides continuously updated information on space science-related projects, initiatives, and events etc. produced in India. This experience shows that development of institutional repository system (SpaceGL) resting on open source software, framework and application program interfaces could lead to impressive results, in a short amount of time and with minimum of investment. In spite of being a prototype model, the SpaceGL aims to benefit from nation wide exposure on full-fledged development.

Human Bone Cancer - osteosarcoma (osteogenicsarcoma) is the malignant primitive bone tumor occurs most commonly for the children and adolescents. It often affects the long bones of the arms and legs at areas of rapid growth around the knees and shoulders of children. Once cancer is detected, we should know how much area is affected. This will help to take the post diagnosis decisions. Dermoscopic images have great potential in the early diagnosis of malignant Osteosarcoma. The diagnosis can also be done manually but computer aided diagnosis such as Digital Image Segmentation leads to the development of many new segmentation methods in this field. In this paper, I propose and evaluate C-mean based Fuzzy Hopfield Neural Network, Adaline Neural Network and Regression Neural Network for the segmentation of skin lesions in dermoscopic images. The segmentation is done using the three methods and the segmented results are evaluated using different performance metrics.

Due to huge advances in information communication technologies (ICTs), there has been an astronomical growth of e-resources-e-journals, e-books, online databases and so on; libraries spend phenomenally on acquisition of these e- resources as these are very popularly used by the students and researchers. Unfortunately, this growth is accompanied by many threats. Digital content (of the e- resources) is fragile and not durable. Its accessibility and use by future generations depends on technology which very rapidly evolves and changes. Hence, ensuring access of e-resources for future generation of users is a big challenge for libraries. The present paper highlights various problems of digital content and elaborates how digital preservation is more demanding and challenging than preserving print copies of journals. It also gives a bird's eye view of various projects initiated for archiving digital content of scholarly journals.

DESIDOC J Libr Inf Technol 2012, 32(4), 327-34.

Open Archival Information System (OAIS) reference model ensures that an organisation charged with the task of preserving information (here, digital information) makes it accessible to the designated community in the long-term. It elucidates the functions and processes so as to promote interoperability amongst digital libraries, archives and other institutions and provides a framework for describing and comparing different long-term digital preservation strategies and techniques. This paper discusses what it means to be OAIS compliant for the pilot institutional repository at the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism (IIG). It maps the six entities of an OAlS-compliant repository (Ingest, archival storage, administration, data management, preservation planning and access) onto a pilot institutional repository (IR) structure of the IIG. It discusses the policies and procedures required for effective OAIS implementation within the IIG institutional repository and ways to effectively develop these based on experiences from abroad. The paper further assesses how the institute's operational structure can be informed by the OAIS and vice versa. It establishes:the role of the preservation service provider for the IIG IR, and explores the potential for interaction between IIG and such service providers.lt identifies the rights and responsibilities, services and actions, and apportions these between the IR and the third-party preservation repository service. It identifies the tools and develops the processes to implement the preservation services and actions.

With growing usage of computer applications there is growing dependence of business over computer aided services like e-mails. The CRM or E-Mail based marketing companies are becoming pervasive. To run these companies in a way that the customers are well satisfied, there is always a greater need to prioritize the e-mails which has a direct impact on the ROI - Return On Investment. In this paper, a method is proposed to prioritize the unread E-Mails according to the users 'interest and priority. This is implemented in this system using agent technology. The Agent mechanism is guided using JADE Middleware and it's underlying architecture. The Intelligent agent used here can learn the interest and priority of the user and use this knowledge to arrange the unread mails, according to the users' needs. The Text corpus in the mail would undergo tokenization and each token would be matched with knowledgebase by the agent. The recision of the prioritization may range to approximately 90 percent. By this way, the E-Mails are ranked according to interest and priority of the user.

Fast packet scheduling is a key feature of packet-based data services which are 3G/4G wireless networks such as Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution, High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), and High Data Rate. In this paper, we propose Anticipated Proportionally Optimal (APO), a new packet scheduling scheme with Quality of Service (QoS) support for hybrid of real and non-real-time services over HSDPA networks. The APO scheduling algorithm is based on the effective channel anticipation model. In contrast to the traditional schemes, the proposed method is implemented based on a cyclic non-work-conserving discipline. Simulation results indicate capability of proposed scheme to maximize the channel usage efficiency compared to other exist scheduling methods. Results also present fair tradeoff between channel capacity and desired QoS for real-time services.

This paper introduces some of the main concepts and methods of the science studying complex, self-organizing systems and networks, in a non-technical manner. Complexity cannot be strictly defined, only situated in between order and disorder. A complex system is typically modelled as a collection of interacting agents, representing components as diverse as people, cells or molecules. Because of the non-linearity of the interactions, the overall system evolution is to an important degree unpredictable and uncontrollable. However, the system tends to self-organize, in the sense that local interactions eventually produce global coordination and synergy. The resulting structure can in many cases be modelled as a network, with stabilized interactions functioning as links connecting the agents. Such complex, self-organized networks typically exhibit the properties of clustering, being scale-free, and forming a small world. These ideas have obvious applications in information science when studying networks of authors and their publications.

Data centers now play an important role in modern IT infrastructures. Although much research effort has been made in the field of green data center computing, performance metrics for green data centers have been left ignored. This paper is devoted to identify and implement energy efficiency and green computing performance metrics in data centers. The metrics helps data center managers to measure and implement cost and power savings in data centers. A metrics based energy efficiency model for categorizing data center into measureable units is proposed which divides data center into four measureable areas and maps metrics to measure their efficiency and performance. The results generated after applying Power Usage Effectiveness metrics clearly demonstrate poor performance of data center with PUE value of 3.5, which indicates very inefficient data center.

J scient ind Res 2013, 72(12), 739-45.

This paper presents a novel method for short-term load forecasting (STLF), based on artificial neural network (ANN), targeted for use in large-scale systems such as distribution management system (DMS). The system comprises of a preprocessing unit (PPU) and a feed forward ANN ordered in a sequence. PPU prepares the data and feeds them as input to the ANN, which calculates the hourly load forecasts. Preprocessing of the entering data reduces the size of the input space to the ANN, which improves the generalization capability and shortens the training time of the network. Reduced dimension of the input space also diminishes the number of parameters to be set in a training procedure, allowing smaller training set, and thus online usage and adaptation. This is important for a real-world power system where a sufficient set of historical data (training points) may not always be available, for different reasons. Ease of use and fast adaptation are necessary when predictions need to carry out in a large number of nodes in the power grid. Functionality of the proposed method has been tested on recorded data from Serbian electrical utility. Results demonstrate that even with a simple configuration such as this one, fair accuracy can be achieved in forecasting the hourly load. The simplicity and reusability are very important factors for installation of the proposed system in a large-scale DMS, considering the technical requirements (e.g. training data availability, processing power and memory capacity).

Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network (typically the Internet). The name comes from the use of a cloud-shaped symbol as an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it contains in system diagrams. Cloud computing entrusts remote services with a user's data, software and computation. In the business model using software as a service, users are provided access to application software and databases. The cloud providers manage the infrastructure and platforms on which the applications run. SaaS is sometimes referred to as "on-demand software" and is usually priced on a pay-per-use basis. SaaS providers generally price applications using a subscription fee. If there is a buzz around Web 2,0 in the Content Technology community, then there is a roar in the wider IT community around Cloud Computing. It's a great term, "Cloud Computing," as it conjures up visions of an invisible Internet - an ether-like zone in the sky where computing power and storage is unfettered by the petty restrictions of boxes, cables, and technicians. Cloud computing sounds fluffy, it sounds cool, it sounds- limitless, it sounds like the future.

Nobile ad-hoc network is a collection of nodes that can communicate with each other without any fixed networking infrastructure. Since the devices iin these types of networks are not stationary, they have no fixed routers, all the nodes are free to move & can have dynamic topology, so their routing protocols, power management & security become critical issues. Power failure of a mobile node not only affects the node itself but may also affect the overall network. So there is a great need of proper power management & distribution of work load among the nodes of the ad-hoc network. In this paper I proposes a protocol which is energy efficient & tries to preserve the battery life of the node by efficient distribution of work load among the nodes of the ad-hoc network and can also help me in strengthening the security of the entire network in order to have safe delivery of data packet to its final destination.

During the training process of Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) not all parameters will learn in the equal proportion; some are more discriminative than others. How network parameters are learning during the training process? The objective analysis of this question has many applications in the neural network, such as network freezing, network pruning, fault tolerance etc. A method is developed in this research to measure the learning capability of a parameter called as learnability. The learnability is defined as the contribution of that parameter to reduce the network error as it undergoes training. The association between surface of performance index and learnability is studied. On the steeper regions, the learnability is higher than on the flatter regions of the surface. Further studies are carried out by removing a parameter based on learnability from a trained network. On removal of a parameter with higher learnability has drastically affected the Mean Square Error (MSE) and classification rate. On the other hand, a parameter with a lower learnability has least impact on MSE and classification rate of a trained network. In this research, the learnability measurement is applied on network freezing and network pruning to improve the performance of MLP network.

Many existing energy efficient routing protocols in wireless sensor networks attempt to reduce the energy usage in data routing from the source to sink. Multipath routing protocol is an efficient alternative mechanism to increase operational lifetime in wireless sensor networks. The effective transmission range is also equally important to increase the network lifetime. While increasing a node's transmission range allows less number of hops between a source and destination and enhances overall network connectivity, it effects in inefficient bandwidth and node residual energy usage. Energy efficient node disjoint multipath routing protocol is used to study the effect of the transmission range in wireless sensor networks. This paper evaluates the effect of various parameters such as number of paths generated, total and average energy spent in wireless sensor networks.
