We intend to propose an effective feature representation using Dual Tree-Complex Wavelet Transform which provides both approximate shift invariance and good directional selectivity. This representation is intends to better preserve the discriminable features in order to achieve less redundancy and high computational efficiency. AdaBoost classifier has been employed to address the problem of limited number of training data in unimodal systems. This is done by combining neural networks as weak learners. Here we do not regard the method presented as state-of-the-art; rather, we aim to show the efficiency of AdaBoost classifier in comparison with other matching approaches. Our researches indicate that no advanced paper has yet used this classifier in the design of palmprint and knuckleprint multimodal systems. The performance of our multimodal system using AdaBoost classifier is proved overall superior to unimodal and other matching approaches.","PeriodicalId":111626,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference and Workshop on Computing and Communication (IEMCON)","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115167298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Density based clustering approach is incrementally used to predict the future weather conditions in this paper. One famous preprocessing approach, known as Convex-Hull is also used before fed the pollutant data into the clustering algorithm. This Convex-Hull method is strictly used to convert unstructured data into its corresponding structured form. These structured data is efficiently and effectively used by the DBSCAN clustering algorithm to form resultant clusters for weather derivatives. This forecasting database is totally based on the weather of Kolkata city in west Bengal and this forecasting methodology is developed to mitigating the impacts of air pollutions and launch focused modeling computations for prediction and forecasts of weather events. Here accuracy of this approach is also measured.","PeriodicalId":111626,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference and Workshop on Computing and Communication (IEMCON)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123710137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the absence of DGS the structure is found to resonate at 5.8 GHz. When an angular defect is incorporated in the ground plane, a frequency shift of 5.8 GHz to 1.8 GHz is observed. Further modifications in the length of the defect result in frequency shifting to 2.4 GHz and 3.5 GHz consequently. Thus the proposed microstrip antenna exhibits frequency tuning properties. One of the salient contribution of the paper is the miniaturization of 90.42% which is worth appreciating.","PeriodicalId":111626,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference and Workshop on Computing and Communication (IEMCON)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125305549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper we study the characteristics of congestion in InfiniBand by monitoring and analyzing the CC mechanism with a hardware analyzer. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper that presents experience with, and analysis of, the InfiniBand CC with such a tool. We found that there can be more than one “root of congestion”, as defined by the IBTA specification, existing at the same time in the congestion tree, and a “root of congestion” can be converted to a “victim of congestion” as its nature changes. We also observed that even with constant traffic flows, the “root of congestion” will shift from one place to another within the congestion tree, with corresponding consequence for packets from various traffic sources: traffic that might be negatively impacted by tree spreading and might be not contributing to the “root of congestion” before, will be treated as a congestion contributor and then be throttled by the CC mechanism.","PeriodicalId":111626,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference and Workshop on Computing and Communication (IEMCON)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128524446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
