In order to make it possible, it is required to develop comprehensive, integrated and progressive environmental policies. These environmental policies would maintain dynamic environmental equilibrium. Today there is requirement by the National and International bodies to have standardised environmental management systems (EMS). These systems would keep the records of all environmental issues pertaining to the organisation. The EMS is made simple through the introduction of the ISO 14000 series. ISO 14000 provides guidelines on how to successfully manage and reduce environmental impacts through management functions, while at the same time allowing for high levels of socioeconomic growth and dedication to sustainable development. The implementation of EMS through ISO 14000 series would involve the expenditure. Every organisation is interested in economic aspects before the implementation of any system. They want that the system should provide the financial benefits, which will motivate to keep going on. This paper discusses economic aspects for the implementation of ISO 14000 an EMS tool in any organization with the help of cost of environment concept. The paper presents the concept of quality cost being applied to justify the implementation of EMS.","PeriodicalId":269929,"journal":{"name":"2008 First International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering and Technology","volume":"1 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":"129333738","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}

Rough sets constitute a sound basis for KDD. It offers mathematical tools to discover patterns hidden in data [4] and hence used in the field of data mining. Rough Sets does not require any preliminary information as Fuzzy sets require membership values or probability is required in statistics. Hence this is its specialty. Two novel algorithms to find optimal reducts of condition attributes based on the relative attribute dependency are implemented using Java 1.5, out of which the first algorithms gives simple reduct whereas the second one gives the reduct with minimum attributes, The presented implementation serves as a prototype system for extracting decision rules, which is the first module. Second module gives positive regions for dependencies. Third module is reducts for calculating the minimum attributes to decide decision, with two techniques, first with brute force backward elimination which simply selects the attributes in the given order to check if they should be eliminated, and the second technique is the information entropy-based algorithm which calculates the information entropy conveyed in each attribute and selects the one with the maximum information gain for elimination. Fourth modules describes the Equivalence classes for Classification including lower and upper approximation for implementing hard computing and soft computing respectively and last module is the discernibility matrix and functions which is used that stores the differences between attribute values for each pair of data tuples. Rather than searching on the entire training set, the matrix is instead searched to detect redundant attributes. All these ultimately constitute the modules of the system. The implemented system is tested on a small sized application first to verity the mathematical calculations involved which is not practically feasible with large database. It is also tested on a medium sized application example to illustrate the usefulness of the system and the incorporated language.","PeriodicalId":269929,"journal":{"name":"2008 First International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering and Technology","volume":"27 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":"129477687","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}

Ignoring the properties of wireless adhoc networks can lead to poor TCP implementation. Therefore several transport layer protocol have been designed exclusively for adhoc network such as ATCP, ATP, TPA etc. Out of these protocols ATP finds to be more suitable for adhoc network. In ATP, the performance of sending TCP is concentrated but the performance and load of the intermediate node is not taken in to account while designing it. In this paper a simple approach is proposed to address the intermediate node problem by making it to operate in three layers rather than operating in four layers. This enhanced ATP is called as PATPAN.","PeriodicalId":269929,"journal":{"name":"2008 First International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering and Technology","volume":"95 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":"124797272","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 problem of coloring grayscale images has no exact solution. Here we are attempting to minimize the human efforts needed in manually coloring the grayscale images. We need human interaction only to find a reference color image, then the job of transferring color traits from reference color image to grayscale image is done by proposed techniques. In these techniques, the color palette is prepared using pixel windows of some degrees taken from reference color image. Then the grayscale image is divided into pixel windows with same degrees. For every window of grayscale image the palette is searched for equivalent color values, which could be used to color grayscale window. In the whole process the luminance values of reference color image and target grayscale image are only matched and based on best possible match the respective chromaticity values of color image are transferred to grayscale image. For palette preparation first we used RGB color space and then Kekre's LUV color space[9]. Results with Kekre's LUV color space were comparatively better. To improve the searching time through color palette the exhaustive and Kekre's fast search are used.","PeriodicalId":269929,"journal":{"name":"2008 First International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering and Technology","volume":"13 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":"128858319","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}

One of the major threats is that of intruders which may maliciously try to access the data or services. Thus there is a need to protect the servers on which Web services are running from intruders. Therefore, intrusion detection systems need to be employed. Signature based IDS are popularly being used. Honeypots are a highly flexible security tool with differing applications for security. They are a security resource that does not have any production or authorized activity but have an important use in intrusion prevention, detection and information gathering. Honeypot collects very little data and what it collects is normally of high value. This information can be used in extraction of intrusion detection signature. In this paper we have proposed a method to analyze the attacks and generate signatures for Web services.","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":"127437993","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 use of radix-64 Booth encoder and selector for partial product generation by Sang-Hoon (Sang-Hoon Lee et al., 2002) reduces the number of partial product rows by six fold. The Booth selector selects one among X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 8X, 16X, 24X and 32X where X is the multiplicand. Before selection 3X computation must be completed which accounts for maximum delay because of carry propagation or carry look ahead addition of X and 2X. In this work this fundamental coefficient is generated as 4X-X using redundant binary (RB) arithmetic. This leads to zero delay for 3X computation as well as simplifies the partial product rows accumulation. This novel method of partial product generation decreases delay by 24% in comparison to last high-speed reported parallel multiplier (Sang-Hoon Lee et al., 2002) using radix-64 Booth encoding.","PeriodicalId":269929,"journal":{"name":"2008 First International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering and Technology","volume":"17 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":"117005025","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}
