Now-a-days billions of inhabitants of Bangladesh are within a network through mobile network coverage. But in the commercial sectors like banking, m-commerce technology has not been adopted broadly yet. Considering m-commerce perspective in Bangladesh a SMS based m-banking system has been proposed which is able to provide several essential banking services only sending SMS to bank server from any remote location. This proposed system is divided into five major phases: interfacing module, SMS technology adoption module, SMS banking registration module, service generation module, and data failover module. This system facilitates bank customers by providing four major services like balance enquiry , balance transfer between authenticated customers, DPS payment and bill payment without going to bank physically and save their precious time. At least, after evaluating each module of this developed system a satisfactory accuracy rate 93.18 % is obtained.","PeriodicalId":335795,"journal":{"name":"2008 11th International Conference on Computer and Information Technology","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134561731","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}

It is concerned with the assignment of transfer postings to employees in large organizations. A large organization has offices and work sites at multiple locations and it is customary to transfer a subset of employees at periodic intervals. The staff transfer problem (STP) can be viewed as a constraint satisfaction problem(CSP). The deterministic methods were proved to be inferior to local search methods in solving this problem. In earlier investigation GSAT(L) easily outperformed the simulated annealing (SA) which was the then best among all approaches. In this work computer experiments indicate that WalkSAT(L,p) easily outperforms GSAT(L) in most of the instances.","PeriodicalId":335795,"journal":{"name":"2008 11th International Conference on Computer and Information Technology","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134563728","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}

Artificial ant based methods have not been used much in the field of image processing. This paper demonstrates how artificial ants can be used effectively to extract regular geometric shapes from images. We propose here ant regeneration and recombination system (ARRS), an entirely new approach developed by ourselves. Our scheme of detection of shapes comprises of three steps. Firstly, MATLAB edge detection operator converts a gray scale image into a binary one. Ant regeneration and recombination system algorithm is then applied on this binary image to detect closed loops. Finally, these closed loops are tested for different geometric shapes like circle, ellipse, rectangle and square. The most important aspect of the scheme is it can detect both intersecting as well as non intersecting regular shapes from images consisting of different open and closed loop configurations. It is the incredible time and memory efficiency of the scheme that makes it useful in real time applications where decisions have to be taken within a very small time interval by observing an image.","PeriodicalId":335795,"journal":{"name":"2008 11th International Conference on Computer and Information Technology","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129360127","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}

GIS system has also been used to address land use issues. Many local governments are adding GIS technology as part of their regular administrative management system. High cost of GIS system, shortage of appropriate GIS specialists, lack of understanding and policies for homogeneous integration of GIS into planning are making the system, in many public sector cases, less than successful. We worked with a city government in the middle USA and participated in evaluating their system. Although small in size (population - thirty thousand), it's location next door to a large metropolitan city made things complicated. The city incorporated a GIS system into many aspects of public sector development, offered Web-based services to its community and published maps with search tools. The GIS based services gave the city government a high-tech reputation and a need-based analysis of public sector projects. The system gave the city officials access to real and accurate data which were not previously available. This often added more policy debates on sensitive and long range issues. It added a new dimension to city development and helped to find a combination of solutions in city wide constructions, drainage system, traffic control, and other engineering applications. Overall, the GIS system improved the efficiency of the city government and their administration processes as well as improved quality of decisions made by the city planners and managers.","PeriodicalId":335795,"journal":{"name":"2008 11th International Conference on Computer and Information Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131115204","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}

Despite strong theoretical arguments suggesting that ICT has much to offer to SOEs, the study would seem to suggest that use of ICT by SOEs listed under privatization commission is still in its infancy. It also identifies some significant barriers which are impacting upon the level of ICT adoption amongst SOEs, and confidence on ICT of the SOEs in Bangladesh.

By wrapping geo-processing services of interoperable standards of XML and SOAP, we demonstrate a prototype implementation of environmental decision support systems GEO- ELCA (exploratory land use change analysis) where Web service-enabled middleware adds core functionality to a Web mapping service.

In this paper, we concentrate on motion self-occlusion problem due to motion overlapping in various complex activities for recognition. This paper illustrates the directional motion history image concept and compares this motion representation approach with multilevel motion history representation and hierarchical motion history histogram representation to solve the self-occlusion problem of basic motion history image representation. We employ some complex aerobics and find the robustness of our method compared to other methods for this self-occlusion problem. We employ seven higher order Hu moments to compute the feature vector for each activity. Afterwards, k-nearest neighbor method is utilized for classification with leave-one-out paradigm. The comparative results clearly demonstrate the superiority of our method than other recent approaches.","PeriodicalId":335795,"journal":{"name":"2008 11th International Conference on Computer and Information Technology","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123745284","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}
