I am on cloud to see this IT-Fest; BOSCON 2011 is launched this year on
theme “Innovation and IT”. This invites the young minds to come
together for our nation’s healthy development by orienting ourselves in
moral and ethical way of Information Technology. Today’s challenge for
the young people like you in India is fighting against evils in the society
such as corruption and terrorism. In this era, the growth on Information
Technology is sky high but used less in ethical way. Here it is our
responsibility to take over the IT towards growth of nation by innovative
Mr Julias Ceasor A.
ideas. Hoping this conglomerate of IT Professionals will fulfill the
expectations of one another as we long for today.
BOSCON 2011 is an opportunity to exhibit your talents in various events and giving deep
experience in planning and execution of the program. This network should be elaborated and

forum will help you to build the network, bind the connection and share the knowledge to
one another. I wish all the best to all participants of this IT-Fest and have memorable day of
celebration.
Today, I am witnessing the fruits of hard work, aspiration, and commitment and involvement
of people here. I thank the Almighty God for his blessing always to reach our target. I would
like to acknowledge the all those in BOS.CON community with expression of gratitude.

Rector’s Message
Dear Staff and Students of BIIT,

My wishes and congratulations in advance for the wonderful way
BOS.CON-2011 will go on 23rd this month!
A recent UNESCO study observes that “the ubiquitous presence of the
internet is a mere illusion as millions remain deprived of it. This
would imply a limited access to a whole realm of knowledge,
interaction and mobility”.
Can you imagine being the only student in your class who has never Fr Vincent Durairaj
heard of Facebook? What about dealing with the messes of the postal
system, for instance, in the throes of electronic mail? While one generation has the privilege
of taking the boons of the internet for granted, another has to endure tremendous struggle to
acquire limited and restricted access to the most basic applications of cyberspace. The social
and cultural disparity and dissatisfaction that this divide creates is very conspicuous and has
serious real-world ramifications.
This situation today necessitates, I feel , the study of Humanities and generally of the Social
Sciences, and it should become a must for IT students to enable them to bridge the gaps in
society that advances of the cyber world are creating. Signs of the divide between the
generation of cyborgs and others not in it can be seen written on the wall. IT students must
learn to read them in order to keep their feet firm on the ‘real’ world.
I wish the BOS.CON-2011 every success.

Vice-Rector’s Message
Fortune favors the brave.

- H. Rose Perot
At the age of seven, Perot started working at various jobs throughout
his childhood, including breaking horses, selling Christmas cards,
magazines, and garden seeds, buying and selling bridles, saddles,
horses, delivering newspapers and collecting for classified ads. After
graduation from the Naval Academy, Perot served at sea for four years Fr Maria Arockiaraj
on a destroyer and an aircraft carrier.
In 1956, he went to work for IBM’s data processing divisions as a salesman. In 1962, his wife
loaned Ross Perot $1,000 from her savings account to start Electronic Data Systems (EDS) IN
Dallas, a one man data processing company. The company ultimately became a multi-billion
dollar corporation employing more than 70,000 people.
Perot sold EDS in 1984 to general Motors for $2.5 billion. Two years later, he started a new
computer service company, Perot Systems, which now operates in the United States and
Europe contested as an independent candidate for U.S president in 1992 and 1996.
A chili is small, but it does not lack it pungency. How small you are is immaterial, believe in
yourself and start from where you are. A determined mind with a clear focus is essential.
With a little risk taking, you go far. Remember, “Fortune favors the brave”. Perot just did
that.
All the best to the organizers and the participants of BOS.CON 2011. Let the fortune favor the
brave.
Start, proceed, and never stop till it is achieved.

Director’s Message
Dear Members of Students@IT Association,

Congratulations to you for all your activities and achievements through
BOS.CON 2011. Hearty wishes to all Committees for their determined
effect and excellent team work.
The goal of BOS.CON is to bring students from various colleges to a

single BIIT podium so that the students can meet each other, exchange
views and build capacities. This meet should reward them to broaden Fr Thaddeus SDB
their mind in learning as well as in humanity. BOS.CON should bring out
their best inner quality as professionals and learners.
The theme for this Fest is “Innovation and IT”. When you gather together as students
specializing in IT and Applications, let us be convinced that technology has grown leaps and
bounds. We need young talents to innovate and make them useful applications for the
societal and human needs. Let every participant and organizer of BOS.CON be convinced that
if one does not innovate with technologies, professional growth is uncertain. Let us learn to
think out of the box and build innovative solutions.
The great Leader Martin Luther King used to say,

If you can't fly, then run;
If you can't run, then walk;
If you can't walk then crawl;
But whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.
So dear friends, let BOS.CON motivate every student to move forward with the will to
innovate and contribute to the society distinctly.
Best Wishes and Congrats,
Fr Thaddeus SDB
Director (BIIT) & CEO (BOSCO ITS)

Administrator’s Message
Dear Organizers of BOS.CON 2011,
Your team work stands tall among all your efforts. In working together
you achieve more than success; you discover yourself more and
understand others more as well.
As I wish the whole team of BOS.CON 2011 a grand success, what is fore-
grounded in my mind is the term: EVOLUTION. Although humans
themselves evolved for millions of years, their inventions took shorter Fr Edwin George SDB
duration. As technocrats humans can transcend time and space but what
is more important is the ability to substantiate their inner beings. The core of evolution is not
duration but depth. This is my prayer and wish for all of you, both organizers and
participants.
Invoking God’s abundant blessings in all your endeavors,
I remain,
Yours in Don Bosco,
Fr Edwin George SDB

Message from St Charles Convent
I am very pleased to write this message on the occasion of your seventh

anniversary celebration of your BOS.CON IT Fest. Due to the
enthusiasm and hard work of the foundation members, this centre for
communication and technology has grown to be an activity and vibrant
one. The sweet fragrance of Fr. Guezue’s love for rural youth is smelt
everyday. May his dream be realized always!
The activities you organize to bring closer ties amongst the professors,
students and staff both old and new and also interacting with other
collage students through IT Fest is very encouraging. This builds Sr Virgy SCB
bridges among students and heightens the confidence level in them. The event will be a great
opportunity for the students of BIIT to meet one another and reminisce the days at Yelagiri
Hills, Don Bosco center a place of integrated learning.
I am sure all those who have gone through the portal of this center will feel very proud to be
the past pupils who will continue to carry on the values of Don Bosco. Though they have
scattered all over the world, internet and websites etc. have made it easier for them to get
closer, exchange ideas and work together for the betterment of this institution.
I wish to congratulate the members of the BOS.CON for all the good work you have done this
year to foster goodwill amongst all the members. I convey my greetings and good wishes in
this happy occasion of your seventh anniversary celebration and also wish you all the best
for the future too.
I congratulate the Organizers for providing a platform for this interaction through this IT
FEST.
Dear students carry on the task ahead of you. There are a lot of important things to be done
and good things to have - sky is the limit! Dream big! Focus on what you want to be. Success
is sweet for those who have the perseverance and courage to move on despite difficulties.
Opportunities are like sun rises,
If you wait too long you can miss them.
So make use of the all the golden opportunities to learn, to grow and to live a happy life.
Yours sincerely,
Sr. Virgy, SCB

Message from HoD (English)
I am happy to learn that Bosco Institute of Information Technology is

hosting, BOS.CON 2011 – a conglomeration of students from several
premier Institutes of Technology in the district. I am sure it is a
happy occasion to collectively share knowledge, dreams and the
possibilities for creating a better tomorrow technically.
Today we are more connected than ever before thanks to the Internet
and Social Networking. Yet according to one UK mental health study, Mr. Leo Maria Francis
18 to 24-year-olds are twice as likely to feel lonely as those over 55, an 'epidemic of
loneliness' referred to as 'the Eleanor Rigby generation' – that is cut off from family and
friends for want of time. Almost one in three of the young people surveyed admitted that
they spend too much time communicating on line. This kind of interaction cannot match the
emotional benefits of face-to-face contact, the report said.
Being cut off from friends and family can raise blood pressure, stress and risk of depression,
while weakening the immune system.
One in nine of those surveyed by the Mental Health Foundation admitted to often feeling
lonely, with women more likely to feel cut off than men. One in three also said they would be
embarrassed to admit feeling lonely.
Pressure to feel ‘productive and busy’, move away from home for work, and failed marriages
are all adding to the problem, the report adds.
While I don’t blame the technology to be the root cause of social problems, I strongly
advocate that we should strive towards a balance and make physical human communication
the priority. I invite all of you my dear young friends to work towards building a healthy and
happy society well connected both physically and technologically.
Wising you all the very best,
Leo Maria Francis M.

Message from HoD (Computer Science)
I take this chance to appreciate and congratulate BOS.CON 2011

committee members for all your efforts to make this a fantastic event
of the year. This event gives the opportunity to explore the innovations
of the young minds, because it is the need of the hour. The best
companies in the world such as Google, Apple, Nokia, Facebook, Disney,
News Corp, Nike, Samsung, Amazon, and so on are surviving because of
their innovative and creative products and services.
Mr. Sundaram M.
So, how to be innovative and creative? As many people say, just ‘think
out of the Box’. Like innovation and creative ideas, quality is also very important. At student
level, we should know how to develop quality products.
Prof. Watts Humphery says,

The aim of every software engineer should be, to deliver high quality software
products on time, within budget, and with required functions and features.
Let this message, be my message too.
Unlike other institutions, BIIT offers plenty of opportunities for the students to demonstrate
their innovative ideas and acquire skills for developing quality products. At this point, I like
to thank the management for the wonderful mission and for providing golden opportunities
for the students and staff.
Once again, I congratulate all of you for the success of BOS.CON 2011 inter-collegiate IT Fest.
Sundaram M.

Message from Arockia Annai Illam
Dear Students,
It is my privilege and pleasure to share my thoughts with you through

this souvenir.
We all know that IT has changed the way the world functions today. IT
can handle everything better, faster and cheaper. You are all fortunate
to be part of this revolution as IT professionals. Hence you have the
responsibility to sharpen your skills and build your capacity. Sr Roseline, SMA
As Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam would put it, “You should not be bothered about small things, since
such pursuits are likely to produce only small results”. Therefore, aim high and build your
knowledge, skills and attitude.
When you wish upon a star…
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you.
I wish the students of BIIT, all success in organizing BOSCON 2011.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS INNOVATION AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Inaugural Address
Dear Fr Rector, Dr Xavier, our Honorable Chief Guest, Mr Julias
Ceasor, Mr Sundaram, Head of the Department of Computer Science,
Mr Abraham, the President and Vice-President of IT Association,
other faculty members on the stage, office bearers of IT Association
and my dear students!
At the outset I am happy that Dr Xavier, the Director of Global

Operations, HCL Technologies is with us for BOS.CON 2011. He was a
Fr Thaddeus SDB great academician with excellent track record and is now playing a
Director, BIIT
leading role in IT Industry. I am sure, he will grasp the uniqueness of
our institution that combines education with industry and business, understand the ethos
and struggles towards its growth, sustenance and stability. And we look forward to his
support in a concrete manner, to make this a success and a great endeavor for the deserving
youth.
I like to congratulate the organizers of this event, beginning with the President, the office
bearers of Students@IT Association, the faculty members and various committees that have
planned, executing and enacting various activities today.
It is a great learning experience for all of you. It is a learning experience, deviating from your
conventional learning. It is learning by doing. When you made a plan for this program,
particularly the third years, you did not know how to make a plan. When you looked into the
key result areas for each committee, I am sure you understood something of a plan. And I
could see in the end that you are having a plan in hand and ensuring that it is being acted
upon. In this way you have learned. It would have been a very difficult experience, to work as
a team. You know the struggles of coming together, how some people work and others don't
work, to get cooperation of all, you would have understood team work, communication,
organizing an event and a bit of general knowledge in IT. And this learning, you should take it
forward, scale up and make it real skills for you, in your life and career.
I welcome and appreciate, the interest taken by the students from other colleges. I am
informed about 15 or 17 colleges have come. You have taken off this day, to be here and to
participate in this program. It may be driven by a competitive spirit to win, but that's not
important. Your participation is more important. And the theme we have chosen is,
"Innovation and IT". This theme is very much relevant for all ages and particularly now. If we
look at the problems that we have; be it global or national, be it a political turmoil or
economic recession… it waters down to unemployment; even poverty that has been spoken
on these days. Many people are asking for jobs. But I think we need more job providers who
can create jobs. To create jobs, we need to become innovative. When you started the
program today, they were flashing out 'technology, technology'. I was bit disappointed.
Technology is not important. What is important is the society, humanity. Thrust should be on
the humanity and the society. The human person is the master. Technology is the slave. And
19
BOS.CON 2011 INAUGURAL ADDRESS
we must know how to exploit this slave, technology. That's where, your innovation as IT
people have to come in.
There are lots of ways it can be done. A few days back, Fr Maria was sharing with me: how a
farmer from near Hosur had two bags of beans from his farm; he brought it to the market to
sell. He couldn't get a decent price for it. He attempted the whole day to sell it in retail
market to the people who passed by. No one was ready to buy. At the end of the day, he left
those two bags on the road so that at least the cattle could eat them. He returned home with
absolutely no gain but loss. There are solutions needed for our people to sell their produce.
Here we need innovative appliances.
I will tell you what the prime requirement of Innovation is. We talk much increase in
education, the gross enrollment. For higher education it is proposed that we should reach
30% by 2030, at least 20% by 2020, and today, it is 11% in 2011. That means, every Indian
youngster, one in three should enter a college, which is affordable for him, and get a quality
education. It is not possible. The average enrollment ratio in the world is 37%. In our country
it is just 11%. To increase this enrolment, we need more institutions. I think there IT has to
be used innovatively. Sam Pitroda, the great scientific advisor to the country would say, "Give
me a room, 10 computers and 10 smart young people, and I will create a university for lakhs
and lakhs of students. The ways of teaching have to change into new methods, then need for
innovation in education. Whether it is agriculture, healthcare, education, small-scale
industry, women empowerment, rural development, there are need for millions and millions
and trillions of innovations. And that's where, you have to come in. I wish each of you come
with something new, by which you grow, be an innovator, a job provider and become an
entrepreneur, gradually. That's the need of the country today. That will make you also
position better in the society.
Now, innovation can be looked from many perspectives. I would like to focus only on one.
Innovation comes from passion. That passion is the passion for humanity; first, passion to
make you sensitive and responsible towards the need of the people around. You take any
innovation in the world; it has come out of a need. Whether it is a social revolution or
innovation; whether, it is a technology innovation, everything come from a need.
I was in CMC last two days. The first day, I went at 8:30 AM to have an appointment with
doctor. I had to wait till 12 o'clock. I didn't want to follow any shortcut. I wanted to know
what happens. And waited long because, so many people were there. It is a private
appointment; we had paid 500 rupees. And, so many people were waiting to meet the doctor,
because the hospital has to cater to thousands and thousands of people every day. I was
thinking of the founder of the Institute, , Dr Ida Scudder. In 1890, when she came to visit her
parents in Vellore, who were practicing medicine, she was staying alone one night; three
women came, who were due to for child delivery in complicated situations. And they didn't
want to go to a male doctor. They were looking for a female doctor, they could not find. And
so, they went home. The next day morning she heard that all three of them died. And there,
she felt the pain and the passion for the people; she realized the need to do something. She
20
INAUGURAL ADDRESS INNOVATION AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
went back to America, graduated as a physician, came back and started a hospital in 1900
with one bed. And gradually she realized it is not enough that she alone could do, she could
train the local women as doctors and nurses. And she started the school of nursing in 1904
and the medical college in 1942. Today, it's a world renowned institution serving thousands
and thousands of people across the country. The need of the people was felt by this young
lady and it has given birth to a great institute.
If we talk of Bill Gate, it is said that every day morning after his breakfast, he used to think
what would make the computer very user-friendly for the people. And that has given birth to
Window's operating system and we have seen the evolution. One can cite countless
examples. Any innovation, it comes basically from the need of the people; the need that is
realized, felt and something to respond to that. There are so many needs. We can go on
talking in our country.
To solve many problems of the society today, you need to make a contribution, real
contribution. You know what technologies are important today. When I was teaching
Operating System, twenty years back, I used to tell my students, a day should come when we
just plug-in and get the operating power like electric line or a gas line or a cable line. I think
today it is becoming a reality. You need not plug-in, you have it in wireless mode. You know
the technologies of mobile computing, cloud computing, distributed computing. These
technologies are coming from big corporate houses and industries. But to make them useful
for the people, we need to have ideas. And those ideas have to come from young minds like
you.
Today, we are happy to have our Chief Guest to talk about Cloud Computing, which is going
to really hit the global IT scenario. How to make use of the cloud in an innovative way? You
can come with many solutions. You may not come with a final solution. At least you can
throw the seed and keep looking at the seed growing and you can contribute something
substantial to the society. I wish BOS.CON 2011 illumines your mind and this day becomes a
useful day for all of us. Have a pleasant celebration of the events today so that you learn
together and go out to be better human persons in the society. Thank you.

Cloud Computing
The computing model for future
Computers, which were predominantly used in 1960s in Scientific and

Engineering computations entered into the Business world after
inventions brought the cost of the computer down south. When people
started using computers for simple business applications, they stored
the data in a database and used the programs for processing the data.
So, these applications were called Electronic Data Processing (EDP)
applications. From simple electronic data processing applications

Several technologies and computing models have evolved over a period of time to address
the issue of complex functionalities, variety of applications developed in different
technologies and platforms to communicate to each other. Enterprise application Integration
(EAI), Application Services, Web Services, Master Data Management, Data Warehousing and
mining, Online services and Cloud services are a few specializations used by most of the
organizations at various levels and maturity. When the Applications become more intensive
in business, the programming logic becomes complex. Also there was a need for several
applications to work with each other. So, Application Management itself becomes a complex
Topic. The following are the key components of the business application support:
1. Network
2. Infrastructure : Hardware, Connectivity, Access control
3. Platform (Operating system and software tools)
4. Software
5. Storage (Database)
Computational Model becomes a Service Oriented model
Consider a simple analogy of transportation. For transporting you have two solutions: one is
you can own a vehicle to transport and the other is to hire a vehicle and pay per usage. In the
computational model, the pay per usage model is evolving because of Internet connectivity.
1. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS): Instead of buying the infrastructure, Cloud service

providers allow you to access the Infrastructure they have through Internet and you
can pay per usage. This makes small and medium Enterprises (SME) to be able to
compete with even big players as their investment is low and the flexibility of volume

Innovation: A day to day endeavor

Be inspired by the innovation that is around you – BIIT is a fine
example of innovation. Those of you who study here or have visited
know that they take a different approach to doing things. What makes
them unique, why do they stand out, what are the aspects that they do
differently? Pause and analyze this for a few minutes to create your
own perspectives.
To be effective at innovation, you need to make it a way of life. It is not

enough to show up at work (or, college) one fine day and think you can
Mr Peter Amalraj
Innovations Head turn on a switch and innovate, it just doesn’t work that way. It does
Paypal, USA sometimes, but it is so infrequent that it is unfair to think it can work
always. Instead, as you go about your day, apply different ways to
approach the same task. Simple tasks such as washing your clothes, completing class
assignments, preparing for exams, revisit these and see if there are ways to be more efficient
(save time, money, effort). If you do this frequently enough, over time you will realize that
you are subconsciously looking for ways to make improvements. If you do, you will be
innovating in some small way.
As you innovate, bear in mind that you will always need to strike a balance between
perfection and what is realistic and practically achievable.
All of you have the required tools, apply them - software, programming languages and
technology in general are merely tools. Make sure that you are really solving a pain point and
that the solution approach is relevant to the problem at hand. As you look to solve a problem,
do not immediately start looking at things from a technology viewpoint; ensure that the
consumers/customers of the product or service are foremost in your mind. Study the
problem and see how best to address it, understand the users, their motivations and other
success criteria. Only after you are completely sure you understand the problem and can
articulate the solution in non technical terms, should you select the programming language
and other technology components that will meet the needs. Again, technology provides the
widgets to help solve a problem, but the problem and the user should be the primary focus. It
is also equally important to identify the metrics that will illustrate that you have made
improvements (speed, cost, etc)
Why is this important? On a job and career front, technology skills have become a
commodity. It is increasingly difficult to differentiate between two programmers with the
same background and skills. The only differentiation that can be made is in the way the two
of them apply the skills that they have acquired. Can they visualize the optimum end result
without resorting to only using tools they are familiar with, do they learn and adapt quickly?
To repeat an overused cliché, do they think outside the box?
Start, start today and innovate every chance you get!

Parallel Computing
Abstract
Parallel Computing is when a big task is divided into sub tasks and these tasks are to be accomplished by the slaves
and the result is submitted to the master to do some advanced calculations. In such scenario, we would need super
computers. We cannot do these calculations using our own conventional computers and acquiring the super computer
is not an easy business in terms of huge investment. In this case, parallel computing is the right strategy. It is achieved
by cluster which is a group of interconnected systems for a specific purpose.

Virtualization is a new buzzword in IT industries. As a technology, we share virtually the computer resources in the
form of hardware and software. It is an abstraction of what we actually assume that the things are available virtually

Knowledge Management Technology

Abstract
Knowledge is the hierarchy of data, information, knowledge and wisdom. Tacit and explicit knowledge influences
overarching representations. Tacit knowledge is when the individual can understand but not able to explain to others;
conversely, explicit is that which can be shared with others on what has been learnt with others. In order to share the
knowledge with others the efficient way is deploying KM systems. KM systems have two focuses: 1. Techno-centric for
sharing knowledge and creation, 2. Organizational focus is about how it can be designed and ecological is focus on
the identity, knowledge and environmental factors of a natural ecosystem. The technologies of KM are: Semantic
technology, Information technology, Communication technology, Collaborative technology and Ontology. KM is
applied in Semantic web, Social network, Information management and Human computer interaction system. This

Grid Computing
Abstract
It is very difficult for a single system to perform certain complex calculations. Grid computing is a combination of
computer resources from multiple systems, applied to a common task which requires a great number of computer
processing cycles to process large amounts of data. Tools for Grid Computing are, Globus Toolkit which enables
programmers to develop grid applications. G-Eclipse is a framework which allows users and developers to access
arbitrary computer resources. Technologies relating to Grid computing are Cluster Computing, Peer to Peer
computing, Internet computing. This paper outlines few applications of Grid Computing namely, Earth Modeling,
Data Mining, Financial Modeling and Engineering. In short, Grid Computing is a service for sharing computer power
and data storage capacity over a network which includes dedicated servers to control and distribute, using optimal
level of computer resources.

SOCIAL NETWORKING
M.D. Adnan, Islamia College, Vaniymbadi
{adnanmuneeb2@gmail.com}
This presentation updates on Social Networking, its history, application, purpose and advantage and disadvantage.
There is a lot of way to describe social networking, but I choose a realistic method to describe it. Social networking
began in 1978 with the Bulletin Board System (BBS). The BBS was hosted on personal computers, requiring that
users dial in through the modem of the host computer, exchanging information over phone lines with others users.
GREEN COMPUTING
Arunkumar C. and Koteeshvaran D.
Adhiparasakthi College, Kalavai
{dazzlingsuri@gmail.com}
Green Computing is a recent trend towards designing, building, and operating computer systems to be energy
efficient. While programs such as Energy Star have been around since the early 1990s, recent concerns regarding
global climate change and the energy crisis have led to renewed interest in Green Computing. Data centers are
significant consumers of energy - both to power the computers as well as to provide the necessary cooling. This paper
proposes a new approach to reduce energy utilization in data centers. In particular, our approach relies on
consolidating services dynamically onto a subset of the available servers and temporarily shutting down servers in
order to conserve energy. We present initial work on a probabilistic service dispatch algorithm that aims at minimizing
the number of running servers such that they suffice for meeting the quality of service required by service-level
agreements. Given the estimated energy consumption and projected growth in data centers, the proposed effort has the
potential to positively impact energy consumption.
IP SPOOFING
Elango G.
Arunai Engineering College, Thiruvannamalai
{elangoss13@gmail.com}
The Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack is a serious threat to the legitimate use of the Internet. Prevention
mechanisms are thwarted by the ability of attackers to forge or spoof the source addresses in IP packets. By employing
IP spoofing, attackers can evade detection and put a substantial burden on the destination network for policing attack
packets. In this paper, we propose an inter-domain packet filter (IDPF) architecture that can mitigate the level of IP
spoofing on the Internet. A key feature of our scheme is that it does not require global routing information. IDPFs are
constructed from the information implicit in Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) route updates and are deployed in
network border routers. We establish the conditions under which the IDPF framework correctly works in that it does
not discard packets with valid source addresses. Based on extensive simulation studies, we show that, even with partial
employment on the Internet, IDPFs can proactively limit the spoofing capability of attackers. In addition, they can
help localize the origin of an attack packet to a small number of candidate networks.

industry. We focused on introducing the latest technologies such as sensors, wireless networks, and Cloud computing
to radically revise approaches to agriculture and conduct business feasibility studies to establish a hypothetical model
of Cloud services that make a genuine contribution to agriculture. We have conducted demonstration tests with the
cooperation of two Japanese farming corporations. This hypothetical model has much in common with on- site
operations such as medical /nursing care and maintenance besides agriculture, so we are working to develop it across a
broader range of fields. On the basis of t he knowledge acquired through actual agricultural operations and subsequent
analysis, we describe the affinity between agriculture and Cloud computing and discuss how the technologies used in
the demonstration test can be applied to other fields.

Green Computing as the study and practice of the design, development, implementation, utilization and disposal
efficiently and effectively with low or zero impact on the environment whilst reducing operating costs. Organizations
use the Green Computing Lifecycle when designing and implementing green computing technologies. The stages in
the Lifecycle include Strategy, Design, Implementation, Operations and Continual Improvements. Green computing is
the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently. The goals are similar to green chemistry; that is
reduce the use of hazardous materials, maximize energy efficiency during the product's lifetime, and promote
recyclability or biodegradability of defunct products and factory waste. Taking into consideration the popular use of
information technology industry, it has to lead a revolution of sorts by turning green in a manner no industry has ever
done before. It is worth emphasizing that this green technology should not be just about sound bytes to impress
activists but concrete action and organizational policy. Opportunities lie in green technology like never before in
history and organizations are seeing it as a way to create new profit centers while trying to help the environmental
cause. The plan towards green IT should include new electronic products and services with optimum efficiency and all
possible options towards energy savings. There are so many ways of implementation in Green Computing.
Teleconferencing and Telepresence technologies are often implemented in green computing initiatives. Companies are
now offering power supplies that enable you to scale the power you need so that you‟re pulling only the wattage
required for that particular activity.

{sasikumarbca09@gmail.com}
Cyber crime is a criminal activity committed on the internet. This is a broad term that describes everything from
electronic cracking to denial of service attacks that cause electronic commerce sites to lose money. This includes
anything from downloading illegal music files to stealing millions of dollars from online bank accounts. Cybercrime
also includes non-monetary offenses, such as creating and distributing viruses on other computers or posting
confidential business information on the Internet. It includes two categories, Crime in which the computer is a target,
Crime in which the computer is an instrument of crime. Cyber crime generally is understood to include traditional
activities such as fraud, theft or forgery whenever a computer is involved. It can also include a number of new crimes
like cyber stalking. Cyber crime in India is rapidly evolving from simple e-mail mischief, theft of information, e-mail
bombing to crashing servers, denial-of-service attacks, etc ... The new breed of crime, which is either perpetrated
using computers, or is otherwise related to them, is broadly termed as Cyber Crime. The preventions include firewalls,
safe surfing etc…to protect from cyber crime. Cyber crime is a rapidly growing and evolving area. Computer experts
will be constantly challenged to keep up with cyber crime techniques and tools.

With the rapid development of communication networks, it is expected that fourth generation mobile systems will be
launched within decades. Fourth generation (4G) mobile systems focus on seamlessly integrating the existing wireless
technologies including GSM, wireless LAN and Bluetooth. This contrasts with third generation (3G), which merely
focuses on developing new standards and hardware. 4G systems will support comprehensive and personalized
services providing stable system performance and quality service. This paper gives the details about the need for
mobile communication and its development in various generations. In addition, the details about the working of 4G
mobile communication were given. Finally, it narrates how 4mobile communication will bring a new level of
connectivity and convenience in communication. 5G is a name used in some research papers and projects to denote the
next major phase of mobile telecommunications standards beyond the upcoming 4G standards Currently, 5G is not a
term officially used for any particular specification or in any official document yet made public by telecommunication
companies or standardization bodies such as 3GPP, WiMAX Forum or ITU-R. New standard releases beyond 4G are
in progress by standardization bodies.

Network security involves all activities that organizations, enterprises, and institutions undertake to protect the value
and ongoing usability of assets and the integrity and continuity of operations. An effective network security strategy
requires identifying threats and then choosing the most effective set of tools to combat them. Many network security
threats today are spread over the Internet. The most common include: Viruses, worms, and Trojan horses, Spyware
and adware, Zero-day attacks, also called zero-hour attacks, Hacker attacks, Denial of service attacks, Data
interception and theft and Identity theft. Network security components often include: Anti-virus and anti-spyware,
Firewall, to block unauthorized access to your network, Intrusion prevention systems (IPS), to identify fast-spreading
threats, such as zero-day or zero-hour attacks and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), to provide secure remote access.

ARTIFICIAL NEURAL INTELLIGENCE (ROBOTICS)

Marudhar Kesari Jain College for Women, Vaniyambadi
{zainabi.sheeba@gmail.com}
Intelligent robots are capable of handling complex tasks that includes recognition of vocal commands, logical
inference, autonomous navigation and manipulation, etc. To accomplish intelligent behaviors, researchers have
proposed a number of control software architectures such as tripod schematic control architecture (TSCA). Customer
needed to increase production from 2 to 6 pieces per minute. Secondary objectives were to reduce changeover times
and to have the ability to handle a growing product mix. In addition there was a desire for a single, programmable
human-machine interface (HMI) capable of being used on all the equipment. Two EPSON TT8550 SCARA Robots
were selected for the complex motion tasks such as palletizing, screw driving and precision assembly; pneumatic
devices were used for simple pick and place operations. Prior experience with EPSON robots had proven the
reliability and robustness of the robots. To achieve real-time performance for robot's navigation, we have implemented
software components in the reactive layer of TSCA on RTAI (Real-Time Application Interface) for our intelligent
robot. In this article, we present our structures of the reactive layer components. Real-time performance of the
designed reactive control layer is demonstrated via experimental results.
NETWORK SECURITY ASPECTS IN E-GOVERNANCE

Sr. K. Stella and M. Rajeshwari

{muralikrishna.vmk20@gmail.com}
The role of ICT in the public sector has change dramatically over the past decade. The evolution of e-governance
started with governments putting information into portals. E-governance strategies has changed in last 10 years with
the new trends like some governments adopting private public partnership (PPP) arrangements-governance has
evolved to the point where governments are not only providing information directly to citizens, businesses and other
taxes etc.Trust is a key factor for e-government projects. Any ICT infrastructure must be secure because citizen and
business transactions contain significant confidential information. Secure network and identity authentication and
verification technology must be place together with privacy laws and governance to ensure privacy and confidentiality
is Protected Network and information security is a major concern involved in implementing e-governance projects.
Problems in ICT like hacking, virus, spamming, invasion, privacy issues can evolve from lack of security measures.
Governments need to provide secure access to information, applications and services via networks. We discuss about
various security needs of electronic systems like e-governance and e-commerce. We would discuss about various
security mechanisms to address various threats. There are many security related issues when we talk about e-
governance. E-governance projects handle sensitive and important data. In e-governance there is a tradeoff between
security availability. Security rules are too harsh or too soft and tuning is as per the demand is necessary. We will also
consider various options that can lead to better and secured e-governance.

{principalsvm@ymail.com}
In this world of science and technology robotics is one of the booms to the world. Recently, there has been increasing
interest in the emerging field of robotics. Today‟s robots are mechanical arms controlled by computers that are
programmed to perform a range of handling activities. They are establishing themselves in manufacturing automation
systems to produce a range of goods with great precision. The emerging era of robots calls for different types of skills.
Entering non-industrial areas, the first fledgling robots for domestic use are coming off the production lines. Robots
are being used in hazardous places, such as outer space or under the sea. Technical advances are gradually endowing
robots with properties that actually increase their similarity to humans. In this paper we are going to present an idea of
robotics and its applications in various fields that we come across. With their computational and agile skills robots
perform tasks that are difficult or hazardous to humans. One area where robots are beginning to excel in, and which
causes less controversial debate on their usefulness, is as explorers.. Intelligent robots are capable of handling complex
tasks that includes recognition of vocal commands, logical inference, autonomous navigation and manipulation, etc.

Performance Analysis for Instantiating New VMs on Shared Infrastructures

R.Sennakesavan, C. Periyasamy
B.E-C.S.E., Anna University of Technology, Trichy
{sennakutti7@gmail.com, biggodannauniv@gmail.com}
With Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud economics getting increasingly complex and dynamic, resource cost can
vary greatly over short periods of time. Therefore, the critical issue is the ability to deploy, boot and terminate VMs
very quickly, which enables cloud users to exploit elasticity to find the optimal trade-off between the computational
needs (numbers of resources, usage time) and budget constraints. With datacenters growing rapidly and configurations
becoming heterogeneous, it is important to enable efficient concurrent deployment and snapshotting that are at the
same time hypervisor independent and ensure a maximum compatibility with different configurations. Here it is also
possible to deploy new VMs with cost-free manner using shared common pool from local disks of computing nodes.
This paper presents the performance analysis for instantiating new virtual machines for lazy transfer scheme that avoid
full broadcast of virtual images during multi-deployments on shared IaaS clouds. The performance is based on size of
chunks which are shared through a distributed versioning storage service for getting better average time and
completion time of booting and read access operations of VM instances. Total network traffic time is processed for
controlling the extra streaming VM instant chunks on the shared common pool.
