Abstract: Video Steganography deals with hiding secret data or information within a video. In this paper, a spatial domain technique for LSB Matching Revisited algorithm (LSBMR) has been proposed, where the secret information is embedded in the cover frames. LSB Matching Revisited(LSBMR) algorithm selects the embedding regions according to the size of secret message and the difference between two consecutive pixels in the cover image. For embedding rates is lower , only sharper edge regions are used while keeping the other smoother regions as they are. In the proposed approach, LSB Matching Revisited algorithm is used to embed the secret message into the video. Hence large amounts of data can be embedded and also preserving higher visual quality of stego images at the same time.

Abstract: Patents are very important for protecting the sophisticated property of individuals. Patent Search helps us to find the previously developed similar patents and used to certify the newly developing patent applications. As such it has gained both economical and technical attention. In the Existing system there is no proper attention to user's search purpose and searching time responsiveness.

Abstract: We consider a system where users aboardcommunication-enabled vehicles are interested in downloading different contents from Internet-based servers. This scenario captures many of the infotainment services that vehicular communication is envisioned to enable, including news reporting, navigation maps and software updating, or multimedia file downloading. In this paper, we outline the performance limits of such a vehicular content downloading system by modeling the downloading process as an optimization problem, and maximizing the overall system throughput.

Abstract: This paper is discussed on automated system for deployment of websites and windows services to the production servers. The aim of this paper is to develop and implement an automatic system for deployment of websites and windows services to the production servers.[1]-[2] In addition to that it also foresees the issues regarding re scheduling of errored windows services. The system is implemented using windows sql server as a database, asp.net as the front end technology and c# the used programming language.The paper presents a method to reduce human effort required in rescheduling running windows services on a server and also deployment to the production servers.

Abstract: Denial of Service attacks constitutes one of the major threats, which poses immense threats to the Internet. In the present Internet has changed the way of traditional essential services such as banking, transportation and defense being operated. These operations are being replaced by cheaper, more efficient Internet-based applications. It is all because of rapid growth and success of Internet in every sector. Unfortunately with the growth of Internet, count of attacks on Internet has also increased incredibly fast. The researchers have to find details of these type of attacks because due to avoid the damaging reputation issues, In this paper, an overview of Denial-of-Service(DoS)&Distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks are provided. Real distributed denial-of-service incidents with their financial impact are analyzed and finally DOS and DDOS solution is highlighted.

Abstract: This paper proposes a new approach to provide an extra layer of security to steganographic techniques. Today, most of the data is sent over the internet, whether personal or professional. Protection of digital multimedia content has become an increasingly important issue for content owners and service providers; therefore; there is a never ending demand to make the transmission network more secure. Conventional cryptography methods are vastly open to unauthorized attacks as they are well known to attackers and many new kinds of attacks are being raised, exploiting the loop holes in the conventional techniques.

Abstract: In Data Mining, the effectiveness of association rules is limited by the huge quantity of delivered rules. In this manuscript, we propose a new approach to prune and filter discovered rules. An interactive and iterative framework is designed to assist the user along the analyzing task. The manuscript focus on medical data test set for detailed analysis and formation of the ontologies. In the proposed approach, the data set of medical records is entered in the back – end database. The development of associations and the ontology is fully dynamic.

Abstract: Getting clear images in underwater environments is an important issue in ocean engineering . The quality of underwater images plays a important role in scientific world. Capturing images underwater is difficult, generally due to deflection and reflection of water particles, and color change due to light travelling in water with different wavelengths. Light dispersion and color transform result in contrast loss and color deviation in images acquired underwater. Restoration and Enhancement of an underwater object from an image distorted by moving water waves is a very challenging task.

Abstract: Secure distributed data storage can shift the burden of maintaining a large number of files from the owner to proxy servers. Proxy servers can convert encrypted files for the owner to encrypted files for the receiver without the necessity of knowing the content of the original files. In practice, the original files will be removed by the owner for the sake of space efficiency. Hence, the issues on confidentiality and integrity of the outsourced data must be addressed carefully.

Abstract: Energy efficient topology in Ad-hoc networks can be achieved mainly in two different ways. In the first method, network maintains a small number of nodes to form a connected backbone and the remaining nodes sleep to conserve energy. This method is effective for low traffic networks. Energy efficiency in the second method is achieved by power control technique. This technique is effective in high traffic conditions. The first method is not effective in high traffic conditions.

Abstract: Community question answers have become extremely popular over the some past few years. It allows community members to share their thoughts by answering given question or acquire information from a set of answered questions. However, existing cQA forum support only textual answer which is not so informative for many community users. The cQA forum can be enhanced by adding suitable multimedia data. Multimedia question answer (MMQA) provides intuitive information with more appropriate image or video.

Abstract: In the recent past there has been a revolution in software industries. This is because of the software industries have increasingly been adopting agile practices. Scrum is the most widely adopted agile method which is said quick and interactive way for developing software. This paper aims measuring efficiency of scrum as efficiency is one of the most important principle for getting economic advantage. To meet our set goal we will use data envelopment analysis (DEA) in concern with scrum.

Abstract:The detection of oceanic structures, such as upwelling's or eddies, from satellite images has significance for marine environmental studies, coastal resource management, and ocean dynamics studies. There is a lack of tools that allow us to retrieve automatically relevant structures from large satellite image databases. This Paper focuses on the development and validation of a Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system to classify and retrieve oceanic structures from satellite images with improved accuracy. The image we obtain from http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/, which give images from different satellite like Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS), Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), or MEdium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS). During the processing of satellite images, different types of imperfection (uncertainties, ambiguities and vagueness) can occur.
