Abstract: Ethiopian calendar has 13 months in which 12 months have 30 days equal and the 13th month has 5 or 6 days length. Date is one of the inputs for web or desktop applications. Java Development Kit(JDK) and Joda-Time Date Time package have been used for date manipulation in java based applications developed for local use in Ethiopia. Besides, Gregorian calendar date time pickers have also been used in web applications. This leads the application developers not to fully adapt localization. To fill this gap we developed JavaScript Date Picker and date manipulator java package in Ethiopian calendar basis. The first product consists of Amharic week day and month names which enable users to pick Ethiopian date as an input in web applications. The second product is used to manipulate Ethiopian date in java........

Abstract: In data mining, occurrence of missing values in the data to be analyzed is a common issue. Ignoring these missing values, which arise from various reasons, results in failure to perform the analyses on the data in an accurate manner. Therefore, in data mining, it is necessary to identify and correct the missing values before conducting the analyses. Many methods have been developed for this purpose. In this study, synthetic missing values at various ratios were generated on the KDD Cup 99 dataset and Least Square, Naive Bayes, Hot Deck Imputation and Most Frequent Value methods were used to recover those missing values.

Keywords: Hot deck, least square, missing value, naive bayes, network data.

Abstract: Indoor Positioning Systems (IPS) are rapidly increasing in dynamic working areas. The tags, reader and server module, that constitute the IPS systems; generally communicate with technologies such as radio frequency, ultra-wideband, ultrasonic, and infrared. In this study, IPS simulation software, which can generate possible scenarios related to the behavioral modules of modules, have been realized in the IPS systems that use radio frequency as communication technology. Ambient noise, room walls, and other disruptive factors encountered in real applications have been modeled on scenarios. In the developed IPS simulation software, the modules related to the system and the parameters related to the application environment are ensured to be used very flexibly. The system, that uses the trilateration algorithm for positioning can also be operated as Monte Carlo simulations. However, the performance of this simulation software has been tested under different ambient conditions.

Abstract: Fuzzy logic has given an edge to deal with uncertainty and vagueness. Fuzzy logic reflects how people think. It attempts to model our sense of words, our decision making and our common sense. As a result, it is leading to new, more human intelligent systems. We can apply fuzzy logic to deal with uncertainties in various fields. There are three basic steps for fuzzy logic system i.e. Fuzzification, rule evaluation and Defuzzification. In this paper we have discussed a real life problemin whichdifferent results of same survey were presented when conducted over a period of time. The survey data represent uncertainty in the form of fuzzy sets.To solve the problem we applied defuzzification approaches..........

Abstract: In recently year, most of the forecasting models are based on concept of fuzzy time series according to the historical data for forecasting the future. Generally, a fuzzy time series forecasting model include three main stages such a fuzzification of crisp time series observations, the identification fuzzy logical relationships and the defuzzification. In these stages, many researchers have used different algorithms to build models with aim to improve forecasting accuracy. In this paper, a hybrid model for forecasting of rice production based on fuzzy time series and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is presented. Firstly, the historical data needs to be expressed by linguistic values in the...........

Abstract: The fast growing numbers in data and information in the current IT world is facing the tsunami like situation. The increase in the number of end users need the secure and reliable model to handle the situation. Big data and cloud is the best solution to handle such situation. Virtualization has completely changed the storage concept. It makes great change in industries like education, healthcare and finance sectors etc. Mass prefer to use virtual storage in place of actual one. In this paper we will analyze how big data is helpful in the field of education.

Abstract: BREEZE AERMOD software is used worldwide for dispersion modeling of main atmospheric air pollutants – particulate matter, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, etc. Within the present research the applicability of BREEZE AERMOD software product is studied in regards with modeling the dispersion of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide N2O in the ground atmospheric layer. A computer simulation is done studying the dispersion of N2O emissions from an industrial source at a nitric acid production plant in Devnya, Bulgaria. The dispersion models are done by using validated meteorological data and by considering the topography of the source region. The hourly average N2O concentration is computed in a grid of preliminary defined receptors. In order to check model adequacy, measurements of the hourly average N2O concentration are done in a point that corresponds to.........

Abstract: Genetic Algorithm traces the path of genetic crossover. Genetic Algorithm also predicts which the probable conditions of mutation are and which can also predict certain diseases. Here it is a theoretical approach dealing with GA and different kinds of mutation and its side effects. Mutation also is a predictor of cancer which can in future be detected and help us in curing the same.

Abstract: The study examined marketing of yam in one of the major routes for yam distribution and supply in Nigeria, Idah LGA of Kogi state. The primary data were collected using structured questionnaire administered to sixty active yam marketers. Descriptive statistics, marketing margin analysis, and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data collected. The result showed that majority of the traders were between 31 and 50 years of age, 40% of the yam marketers had no formal education. Furthermore, majority of the studied marketers (78%) had more than 10 years marketing experience. The marketing margin for wholesalers gives an estimated value of N21,839.03 while for retailers the estimated value was N24,490.02. R2value of 30.70% revealed that 30.70%of the variations in dependent.......

Abstract: Now a day's cognitive radio is one of the valuable research areas in wireless communication. The cognitive radio (CR) is a technology that is used to share the spectrum or bandwidth efficiently. In Cognitive Radio Network (CRN), the absence of primary user; the secondary user can use the spectrum efficiently. But how to access the available spectrum effectively without interference the primary user is a main challenge in CRN. A large number of cluster based MAC protocol have been proposed to solve this problem. To solve this type of problem, in this paper we have motivated to design an approach named as Dynamic Cluster Configuration Protocol (DCCP) for Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Networks (CRAHNs). The cluster-based structure is efficient for guaranteeing system performance, reliable routing and reducing communication overhead in variable network environment. In this approach secondary users are clustered based on their available channels that maximize the network throughput and........

Abstract: The aim of this research is to find problems and challenges resulted from using Classic Content Management System (CCMS) and replacing it with Web Content Management System (WCMS) in Kabul based universities. The study found answers to the following questions:Do stated universities have necessary facilities such as electricity, ICTs, and the Internet? Are faculty administrators, instructors, and studentready to use WCMS? What problems and challenges have resulted as consequence of using CCMS? Finally, which of these two systems are cost-effective, quick, efficient, and more reliable? The research results indicate that all administrators, instructors and students agree that CCMS is incapable to fulfill their needs; therefore, it has to be replaced with WCMS. However, it is important that all necessary equipment (such as stable electricity, ICTs, fast internet) which WCMS needs has to be provided before converting CCMS to WCMS. In fact, this modern system is faster, efficient, economical, and more reliable than CCMS.
