We present an algorithm which analyzes memory requirements of the streaming processing of a given XSLT stylesheet on the set of XML documents defined by a given XML schema. This schema-based analyzer represents an integral part of the Xord framework for the streaming processing of XSLT - it determines the most efficient streaming... Continue Reading

This project entitled “Employee profile management system” has been designed towards improving the Management of Employee Information in the field offices of civil service commission. It maintains Seniority, Leave Records, Transfer & Postings and other basic information of Employee. Various MIS reports can be generated through it... Continue Reading

Video steganography is all about transmission of streaming data, in its real-time nature. Though subject to bandwidth constraints, I propose a MPEG-2 compliant decoder which uses data hiding to transmit additional data with no extra bandwidth while creating an almost imperceptible degradation of the picture. The additional data can be... Continue Reading

An e-mail server is the computerized equivalent of your friendly neighborhood mailman. Every email that is sent passes through a series of mail servers along its way to its intended recipient. Although it may seem like a message is sent instantly - zipping from one PC to another in the blink of an eye - the reality is that a complex... Continue Reading

With the vast development of various technologies, learning today is no longer confined to classrooms with lecture delivery as the only method of conveying knowledge rather an electronic means of learning has continued to evolved. Electronic learning (e-learning), which facilitates education using communications or network, has made... Continue Reading

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) wad designed to provide reliable end-to-end delivery of data over unreliable networks. In practice most TCP deployments have been carefully designed in the context of wired networks. Ignoring the properties of wireless Ad hoc Network can lead to TCP implementations with poor performance. In order to... Continue Reading

As we move past the middle of the decade, the trend continues away from host-based to client- server systems. It's no secret this operational migration has caused as many new network management problems as it has answered. Intensified requirements come from all directions: more nodes, more uptime, more communications, more... Continue Reading

In this work we describe a new approach to dynamic signature verification using the discriminative training framework. The authentic and forgery samples are represented by two separate Gaussian Mixture models and discriminative training is used to achieve optimal separation between the two models. An enrollment sample clustering and... Continue Reading

Automation is the partial or full performance by a machine system (mechanical or electronic, or both) of a function previously performed by a human, or which conceivably could be performed by a human.
