ABSTRACT : Advances in the data storage and image acquisition technologies have enabled the creation of large datasets. It is necessary to develop appropriate information systems to efficiently manage these collections. The most common approaches use Color-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system. The goal of CBIR system is to support image retrieval based on color. In a color based image retrieval system querying can be done by a query image. The goal is to find the images most resembling the query. In this work we mainly focused on color histogram-based method.
Keywords - Color based image retrieval system (CBIR), Color histogram, Query image

ABSTRACT: Cryptography is essential for protecting information as the importance of security is increasing day by day with the advent of online transaction processing and e commerce. Public key cryptography is one of the most important types of cryptography. In public key cryptography the key has to be unique. There are two ways of key production, the first one is mathematical like AES, DES and the other one is based on the theory of natural selection. The work explores the different techniques of cryptography in order to prove that the natural selection based techniques are as good as the rigorous mathematical techniques. 12 papers and theses have been studied in order to reach the conclusion.

ABSTRACT: In the field of RS and GIS, automated information extracted from topographic sheet or reference map plays a pivotal role in assisting researchers in performing various inferential analyses that aids in making qualitative as well as quantitative assessment of the features. Such automated procedures tremendously reduces time and effort requirement compared to that of traditional manual techniques. This work aims at associating stream order for vector hydrograph using spiral traversal technique that reduces time complexity from O(n2) to o(n). Keywords: Digitization, Horton's stream order, Spiral Traversal, Stream, Vector hydrograph.

Abstract : Among the various types of software vulnerabilities, command injection is the most common type of threat in web applications. In command injection, SQL injection type of attacks are extremely prevalent, and ranked as the second most common form of attack on web. SQL injection attacks involve the construction of application's input data that will result in the execution of malicious SQL statements. Most of the SQL injection detection techniques involve the code to be written along with the actual scripting code. These techniques do not detect errors in SQL statements. Hence, this paper proposes a mechanism to identify invalid SQL statements, to analyze the query for invalid non SQL key words, and to customize the captured errors. This mechanism is different from others by means of separation of the main scripting code and SQL injection code.

Abstract : Today, concern for quality has become an international movement. Even though most industrial organizations have now adopted modern quality principles, the software community has continued to rely on testing as the principal quality management method. Different decades have different trends in software engineering. The Personal Software Process (PSP) is an evolutionary series of personal software engineering techniques that an engineer learns and practices. A software process is nothing without the individual programmer. PSP a data-driven process customized to teaching individuals about their programming styles, helping software engineers further develop their skills in developing quality software. In this paper I explain the Personal Software Process definition, principles, design, advantages and opportunities apart from discussing about PSP as a framework of techniques to help engineers and their organizations improve their performance while simultaneously increasing product quality focusing on the incorporation of PSP concepts in software development practice.
Key words: Personal Software Process, Software Development, Engineers, PSP Concepts.

Abstract- In Ad-Hoc networks the mobile nodes communicate with each other using multi-hop wireless links. The main drawback of such network is that there are no stationary infrastructures to route the packets. Hence, routing protocols have to adapt quickly and elegantly to frequent and unpredictable changes in network technology and they have to do so while conserving the memory, power and bandwidth resource. The Ant Colony Optimization technique implemented upon such networks have helped the nodes in finding the routes to different nodes in an optimized way same as ants find the optimum route to its food. The techniques provided so far have considered the search space utilized by a node as the space occupied by all the nodes that are present in the network which requires message passing among all the nodes that are present in the network consuming plenty of bandwidth and power only to find the routes to different nodes. If we divide the search space among the nodes forming clusters then the number of messages communicating will be reduced thereby reducing the bandwidth occupied and power consumed conserving the important resources of mobile communication in wireless medium.
Key words: Mobile Ad-hoc Networks, Optimal Route Searching ,Ant Colony Optimization.

Abstract: Today traditional intrusion detection systems are unable to detect intrusion attacks. Huge number of
false alarm generated by the system results in financial loss of an organization. The unique features of artificial
immune system encourage and motivate the researchers to employ this technique in variety of applications and
especially in intrusion detection systems. Recently Artificial immune system (AIS) has been applied for anomaly
based intrusion detection in computer networks. Artificial immune system is a new technique which is applied
for solving various problems in the field of information security. In this paper we presents a intrusion detection
system based on one of the algorithm of artificial immune system called the Dendritic Cell Algorithm (DCA)
and Dempster–Belief Theory (DBT) in order to minimise the rate of the generation of intrusion detection
system , false positive rate and improve correlation factor in the designed intrusion detection system. With the
help of Dempster–Belief theory we calculate the degree of uncertainty and with the help of event gathering
calculate the entropy, which help us to determine the intrusion in the given system. Data having higher entropy
is regarded as the "intruder" and generate the alarm. Thus with the help of this dual detection technique we
can not only minimize the false positive and false negative rate but also improved the correlation technique and
decrease the intrusion rate in the system.
Keywords- Artificial Immune System, intrusion detection system, human immune system, danger theory,
negative selection algorithm, DCA, Dempster–Belief theory.

ABSTRACT: A barcode is an optical machine-readable representation of data, which shows the relevant data about the material to which it is attached or fixed. With the help of bar code, the information can be assessed automatically, quickly and accurately. It is the fastest means of gathering data and can be generated easily and inexpensively by using state to art technologies. They can be printed dot-matrix, laser, and thermal transfer printers depending on the quality and demand. Thermal printing i.e. direct and ribbon-less, is comparably more consistent and generates clear image compatible with latest scanning technologies. Moreover, it is long-lasting, inexpensive and provides the flexibility of generating bar codes for different kinds of labels of different sizes and utility. The software available in the market are not supporting the thermal printing by integrating the barcode as well as picking the production status from software. In the present work, integrated code-generator utility is implemented to generate Bar-code image and then print is taken on Taffeta paper using integrated printing facility which in turn reflects production status of the product.
Keywords: barcode, code-generator, production status, scanning, thermal printing.
