This paper proposes a spatio-temporal query engine which responds to queries that are based on specific characteristics of multimedia layouts. This query engine would facilitate interactive usage of multimedia layouts both in the spatial and temporal domain. The system accepts queries in the form of simple English like statements, eliminating the need to use any query language. In timeline based paradigm the layout is represented using temporal synchronization points and can be effectively used for non-iterative presentations. In this system graph based paradigm uses dynamic Petri nets, which are best suitable for iterative and interactive presentations. Query processor is the decision maker that decides whether to retrieve the data from the timeline based or graph based database. In the proposed system efficient algorithms have been designed and used to perform data retrieval effectively.","PeriodicalId":269929,"journal":{"name":"2008 First International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering and Technology","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124732351","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}

Its effects are characterized by the uninformed delays and interruptions accompanied by undue losses. Since no optimal methodology exists, the internet continues to remain susceptible to DDoS attacks. The PacketScore scheme is a practical DDoS defense mechanism, which approximates the authenticity of the packets concerning its attribute values and discards selective attack packets. This paper extends the PacketScore scheme and implements a new two-level filtering mechanism using leaky bucket that can lessen the losses created by the attacks. The proposed scheme validates the data signatures of the packets complementing the check performed on the packet header. This two-level scrutiny enhances the correctness of detection of DDoS attacks. A standard model to review the efficiency of the two-level filtering has been proposed and the scheme has been deployed and tested in ANTS active network tool kit. The implementation of the proposed scheme is easy let alone efficient and effective in DDoS attack detection with an accurate response to varying DDoS attacks.","PeriodicalId":269929,"journal":{"name":"2008 First International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering and Technology","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128630436","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}

The black hole is one of the most severe threats which has engulfed the routing, practically causing no useful communication to take place.

These systems are mostly used for agriculture and household purposes. Generally, such systems use permanent magnet dc motors because of their simple circuit configuration and control strategy. However these systems require frequent maintenance. On the other hand, the conventional PV water pumping systems driven by ac motors employ a dc-dc converter followed by an inverter. The conventional systems use more number of power semiconductor switches (increases the system cost) and suffer from reduced overall efficiency as two power converters are connected in series. In this paper, a PV water pumping system using a single stage inverter fed induction motor driving a centrifugal pump is considered. The inverter simultaneously performs two functions, viz., (i) converts dc power into ac power and (ii) forces the induction motor to operate at maximum efficiency. The system considered has a simple control strategy and the viability of the control strategy is demonstrated through steady state and dynamic simulation results.","PeriodicalId":269929,"journal":{"name":"2008 First International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering and Technology","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130239124","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}

This causes a high traffic density and makes new security features a crucial point in order to keep the traffic safe. Developing automotive collision warning and avoidance systems will be very effective for reducing fatalities, injuries and associated costs. In order to develop an automotive collision warning and avoidance system, it will be necessary that the vehicles should be able to exchange (in real time) their dynamic information such as speed, acceleration, direction, relative position etc. The only way to exchange the vehiclespsila dynamic information will be through wireless communications. This paper presents a collision detection and warning protocol in intersection traffic controller (ITC) to improve the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) using a wireless communication technology. An intersection has a wireless unit called the Intersection Traffic Controller (ITC). This ITC keeps broadcasting a message all the time. Each vehicle communicates with the ITC in real time to let the ITC know about its current location. The ITC then includes this information in its message and warn the driver about the condition of the vehicle and the signal to avoid the collision. The current technology will allow us to build such a collision detection and warning protocol in a cost effective manner.","PeriodicalId":269929,"journal":{"name":"2008 First International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering and Technology","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128829164","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}
