A System for Timely and Controlled Information Sharing in Emergency Situations Abstract? During natural disasters or emergency situations, an essential requirement for an effective emergency management is the information sharing.< Final Year Projects > In this paper, we present an access control model to enforce controlled information sharing in emergency situations. An in-depth analysis of…
A System to Filter Unwanted Messages from OSN User Walls Abstract? One fundamental issue in today’s Online Social Networks (OSNs) is to give users the ability to control the messages posted on their own private space to avoid that unwanted content is displayed. Up to now, OSNs provide little support to this requirement. <…
A Trajectory Privacy-Preserving Framework for Participatory Sensing. The ubiquity of the various cheap embedded sensors on mobile devices, for example cameras, microphones, accelerometers, and so on, is enabling the emergence of participatory sensing applications. While participatory sensing can benefit the individuals and communities greatly, the collection and analysis of the participators’ location and trajectory data…
A Utility Maximization Framework for Fair and Efficient Multicasting in Multicarrier Wireless Cellular Networks Abstract?Multicast/broadcast is regarded as an efficient technique for wireless cellular networks to transmit a large volume of common data to multiple mobile users simultaneously. To guarantee the quality of service for each mobile user in such single-hop multicasting, the base-station transmitter…
Accurate Analysis of Double-Weight Codes with an Arbitrary Maximum Cross-Correlation Value for Two-Chip-Power Optical CDMA Abstract? Due to power restriction of some laser sources, the use of same power (per bit duration) in optical codes in incoherent optical code-division multiple-access multimedia networks with variable quality-of-services was previously studied. < Final Year Projects >In those…
Active Filter-Based Hybrid On-Chip DC?DC Converter for Point-of-Load Voltage Regulation. Experimental results of an active filter based on-chip hybrid voltage converter are described in this paper. The area of the voltage converter is significantly less than the area of a conventional passive filter based DC-DC voltage converter or a low-dropout (LDO) regulator. Hence, the proposed…
Age and pose Invarient feature extraction for Robust face Recognation Abstract? Automatic face recognition system has been facing problems in recognizing subjects of varying ages. Age invariant recognition has been of great use in tracking people database especially in public domain systems like driving license,< Final Year Project > passport, and criminal records etc.,…
Algorithms for a parallel implementation of Hidden Markov Models with a small state space Abstract?Two of the most important algorithms for Hidden Markov Models are the forward and the Viterbi algorithms. We show how formulating these using linear algebra naturally lends itself to parallelization.< Final Year Project > Although the obtained algorithms are slow…
An Adaptive Cloud Downloading Service. Our paper presents solutions using erasure coding, parallel connections to storage cloud and limited chunking (i.e., dividing the object into a few smaller segments) together to significantly improve the delay performance of uploading and downloading data in and out of cloud storage. TOFEC is a strategy that helps front-end proxy…
An Adaptive System Based on Roadmap Profiling to Enhance Warning Message Dissemination in VANETs Abstract? In recent years, new applications, architectures, and technologies have been proposed for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). Regarding traffic safety applications for VANETs, warning messages have to be quickly and smartly disseminated in order to reduce the required dissemination…
An Efficient and Robust Addressing Protocol for Node Autoconfiguration in Ad Hoc Networks Abstract?Address assignment is a key challenge in ad hoc networks due to the lack of infrastructure.< Final Year Project > Autonomous addressing protocols require a distributed and self-managed mechanism to avoid address collisions in a dynamic network with fading channels, frequent…
