5. A NEW DUAL CHANNEL BASED MEDIUM ACCESS CONTROL PROTOCOL FOR AD HOC NETWORKS

Authors: JONGIN JOO , JOOSEOK SONG

Abstract: Ad hoc networks are widely researched and applied on various fields. To implement Ad Hoc Networks, the IEEE 802.11 standard Medium Access Control(MAC) protocol are widely applied. However, there are some problems which decrease the transmission efficiency of wireless networks at the standard MAC layer. The standard use 4-way handshake procedure(RTS/CTS/DATA/ACK) to overcome the MAC layer problems. But some problemscannot be solved if only a single channel is used in MAC Layer. Therefore, many multi-channel based MAC protocols were proposed to prevent MAC layer problems. But, those scheme either cannot solve MAC layer problems perfectly. This paper proposes New Dual Channel based Medium Access Control(NDCMAC) protocol for ad hoc networks. This protocol requests just one additional channel and perfectly solves most of MAC layer related problems. For this scheme, busy tone and Negative ACK(NACK) concepts are applied. Using NDCMAC, the channel utilization is significantly increased. Result

7. LIFETIME ENHANCEMENT OF WSN USING COOPERATIVE GAME THEORY BASED ROUTING PROTOCOL

Authors: P. DANANJAYAN , P. RAJA

Abstract: Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) plays a major role in collecting physical data from various locations using battery powered sensor nodes and forward it to the sink node. Limited energy resource is the major constraint associated with WSN, since in most cases it may not be possible to change or recharge batteries. For successful communication, the lifetime of sensor nodes or motes play an important role. Hence, designing of energy efficient routing algorithm is one of the key challenges that need to be addressed for extending the life time of the network. In this paper, cooperative game theoretic approach is applied in A Novel Clustering Algorithm for Energy Efficiency (G-ANCAEE) and low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (G-LEACH). The G-ANCAEE performance enhances the life time of the nodes by minimizing energy consumption during data transmission. The G-ANCAEE involves fixed clusters and randomized weighted algorithm for cluster head (CH) selection which efficiently reduces the energ

Authors: A.SUNDHAR , P. DANANJAYAN

Abstract: Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access MC-CDMA is a promising technology for supporting high data rate in next generation wireless networks. By combining MCCDMA technology with Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) spatial multiplexing, data transfer rate can be enhanced. However, the performance of MCCDMA technology is limited by the multiple-access Interference (MAI) and Inter- Carrier Interference (ICI). In this paper, the interference noise is diminished by adopting power control and subcarrier allocation methods to enhance the system performances like capacity, BER and power savings through Iterative water filling game theory. The water filling game strategy assigns power level to each subcarrier based on the SINR value received by the transmitter instead of getting full channel state information, which is time varying in nature. The subcarrier group assignment is implemented by selecting best subcarriers with maximum SINR value. The performances of mean capacity, BER and pow

9. CULTURAL ADAPTIVITY FOR SUSTAINABLE USER INTERFACE: INVESTIGATING USER EXPECTATION ON ASEAN COUNTRY

Authors: ASLINA BAHARUM , AZIZAH JAAFAR

Abstract: This study investigates user interface with cultural adaptivity on user expectation from ASEAN cultural group. Cultural adaptivity was believed to enhance the usability of user interface websites to attract large numbers of users. The findings lead to the conclusion that provides a user interface for various countries is not enough, due to the difficulty of pinning down cultural background. Localized user interfaces usually modify the most obvious elements to meet the target country and/or region, for instance by adapting to different languages and regional characteristic. Despite this fact, research has acknowledged, the culture does not keep within the boundaries. Research has shown that the interpretation of the national culture, in which the term is leveled with a particular country, will bundle a lot of choice. Thus, localization of objects can help users to navigate the web and access information easily. Environment of different countries and different cultures can interoperate

Authors: ANIMESH DUTTA , ANKIT BHARDWAJ , SUPRIYO GHOSH

Abstract: Multi-Agent based modeling and simulation is an evolving paradigm for solving real life problems for solving real life problems for the last one decade. In this paper, we model the manually controlled Indian Railway to a multi agent based automated system which is robust in nature and provide a fully automated collision avoidance guarantee. We consider individual entity such as station, junction and train as an agent and the whole railway network is framed as a graph. To sharpen the solutions of existing system´s problems such as collisions and delays, BDI agent with first order predicate logic is incorporated in this paper. The communication and coordination between respective agents (with help of their BDI and rule base running as backbone) can now be a substitution in place of manual decisions. Thus the idea can replace the hectic job of railway control room personals in more sophisticated and methodical way.

Authors: SANTHOSH KAMATH

Abstract: The rapid advancement of hardware technology has enabled the development of small, powerful, and inexpensive sensor nodes, which are capable of sensing, performing computation and wireless communication. This modernizes the deployment of wireless sensor network for monitoring some vicinity and collecting required information. However, sensor nodes have limited energy constraint which is a major challenge for such visionto become reality. We consider energy constrained wireless sensor network deployed over a region. The main job of such a network is to gather information from node and transmit it to sink node for further processing. So the aim of any data forwarding protocol is to conserve energy to maximize the network lifespan. Sensor nodes are capable of performing in-network aggregation of data coming from more than one source.In this paper we focused on energy consumption issue and aim to develop an energy efficient data aggregation protocol. To deliver energy efficiency we have co

15. THE NEED FOR TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION IN SOCIAL MEDIA

Authors: CHRIS O. IMAFIDON , EHINOME J. IKHALIA

Abstract: Social networks are unequivocally the most used application for communication and information sharing in the 21st century. As growth of this technology increases, there is a need to implement a more secure authentication mechanism to protect users as well as the platform providers from various social engineering attacks. A recent study from LinkedIn and Twitter hacks shows that weak passwords and single factor authentication are still prevalent shortcomings facing most social networking sites. This end-user security lapse often paves way for phishing and malware attacks and undermines the overall integrity of the system.In this study, we review the rise of social networks and the underlying concepts of two factor authentication. Furthermore, we propose a novel, feasible, cost effective and secure technique of applying an email based password tokenization as a second factor authentication in social networking sites.

18. THE IMPACTS OF UTILITARIAN AND HEDONIC MOTIVATIONS ON HABIT AND ONLINE BROWSERS’ BEHAVIORS

Authors: CHENG LING TAI

Abstract: Online shopping is becoming increasingly popular. In this paper, the term \"habit\" is used to describe the \"routine\", \"indispensable\" yet \"unspecific\" phenomenon of \"browsing online shops\" and is explained through a model established from the motivation perspective. Data are collected from online shop browsers. All hypotheses were tested using AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structures). Results show that hedonic motivations can better help form a habit than utilitarian motivations and can best enhance online purchase frequency. People with utilitarian motivations emphasize \"the importance of perceived information\" the most. The significance of this study and the generated practical suggestions are listed in the end of this paper.

Authors: AZIZAH JAAFAR , FARIZA HANIS ABDUL RAZAK , NURUL HIDAYAH MAT ZAIN

Abstract: In this paper, we propose the Rasch analysis for studying an existing measurement model towards a design. The user satisfaction measurement model (e-Learner Satisfaction (ELS) and Website User Satisfaction (WUS)) was used to show how to understand users’ response patterns. A twenty four item questionnaire was adapted based on the user satisfaction measurement model and administered to 86 students. The user satisfaction responses towards the design of the On-line Discussion Site (ODS) in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) e-learning portal were investigated. Step by step guidance is provided on how data was analyzed in understanding users responses towards the ODS design using the Rasch analysis. The findings from Rasch analysis will reveal the likelihood of user satisfaction with the ODS design. Thus the Rasch analysis was able to provide the most and least agreed items in a measurement model. Thereby system designers can easily identify items that need to be further improved in a design

21. AN INTEGRATED PLATFORM FOR SYSTEM TRADE USING THE CLOUD

Authors: HIROAKI TSUJIMOTO , TAKAHIRO KOITA

Abstract: Recently, algorithmic trading, which is an automatic trade by means of a computer and a trading rule, has become popular. To use the algorithmic trading effectively, its trading rule is quite important because the trading rule is an algorithm to determine the timing of using market parameters. Investors are eager to find a good trading rule, which can be a good indicator to trade stocks, from among enormous numbers of rules. However, the existing trading-rules evaluation systems for virtual dealing cannot be used for full search of trading rules. The causes of the problem are the compatibility of virtual dealing software and the computing resource available for trading-rules evaluation. In this research, we have designed and developed an integrated platform for trading rules search to cope with these two issues.

22. A SECURE AND EFFICIENT MULTI-DEVICE AUTHENTICATION PROTOCOL BASED ON SECRET SHARING IN HETEROGENEOUS NETWORKS

Authors: HAEJUN JUNG , JOOSEOK SONG

Abstract: Current EAP-AKA provides mutual authentication and key agreement in heterogeneous networks. However, with mobile devices increasing explosively, this protocol seems to be inefficient as each device needs to communicate with its remote home network to authenticate. In this paper, we propose a secure and efficient authentication protocol for owner of multiple devices by implementing shared group temporary key and secretsharing method. The devices which belong to a user generate group temporary key with shared secret. A master device communicates with home network for authentication. The other devices can be authenticated by serving network locally instead of communicating with remote home network. We will prove that the proposed protocol provides secure authentication and it is more efficient than the conventional EAP-AKA in multi-device scenario.

Authors: R.A. KHAN , SANDEEP SINGH

Abstract: The main advantage for taking this proposed approach is that it is a protocol and application agnostic. This will not only work for MPLS, but also for other tunneling protocols such as GRE, or L2TP. It will also work for L2 protocols such as PBB, and applications such as VPLS. Variants such as Nested LSPs are handled as well in the same manner. Our goal is to make the switch as protocol/application unaware as possible. Instead the protocol and applications reside in the controller only. Our Specification is Implementation independent (aka Platform Independent), as a specification should be. At the same time, we do leverage our extensive experience with implementations to make sure that our specification is not devised in vacuum. We have gone to pains to make sure that the implementations will have the flexibility to address their own specific constraints and optimizations while working within the boundaries of the specification.

Authors: JOYCE NESAMANI SIMSON , ROHIZA AHMAD

Abstract: The challenge facing knowledge management professionals is how to leverage knowledge for improving organisational performance. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship as well as the impact of leadership styles on knowledge management (KM) practices. It is imperative for employees to engage in knowledge sharing among themselves, considering its potential impact on enhancing the effectiveness of organisations. In relation to KM, the Kouzes and Posner model of leadership is useful in identifying how to get others to want to do things that matter, namely KM implementation. Since leadership is perceived to be ‘a process between those who choose to lead and those who choose to follow’, this paper will explore how reciprocal processes occur in the knowledge sharing context. This study will aim to identify the influence of personal orientation coupled with leadership traits that would create intention towards using KM in employees, thus providing a guideline for leadership
