There are many challenges evolved in adopting the cloud environment for scheduling workflow applications. The reason behind this is the resource heterogeneity and on-demand services offered by cloud service providers using per-per-use-model. Mapping of the distributed resources to the tasks of an application while satisfying the user's quality of service (QoS) parameters become tedious job because of heterogeneity of resources and dependent nature of the tasks. Many meta-heuristics based approaches are applied by the researchers for scheduling workflow applications to attain near optimal solution. A discrete binary cat swarm optimization (DBCSO) is proposed for scheduling workflow applications in the present work. The purpose of this algorithm is to optimize workflow schedule length also known as makespan. Scientific workflows of different sizes are evaluated with the proposed algorithm using WorkflowSim and results are compared with state-of-art algorithms. The results indicate an improvement in the performance by minimizing the makespan.

Vocal Communication is a way to convey our thoughts, messages and information. However, each of us is not gifted to be able to share our thoughts in verbal mode with others due to some physical disabilities. The deaf and the mute are the one who face extreme difficulty in conveying their messages to others. Normally deaf and the mute people use sign language for communication but it turns out to be a difficult when others are not able to understand the sign language. A number of devices are available that converts the human gestures to English speech and text but no such device is available for Hindi Language. Hindi is the most spoken and National language in India and is widely used in the country. Keeping a pace with advent of technology there is a desperate need of cost effective devices which could convert the sign language into speech/text in Hindi to establish an independent communication and movement for deaf and mute people in every sphere of society. In this paper, we propose a tangible interface using a customized glove equipped with flex sensors. These sensors are placed across the length of fingers and the thumb. Hand gestures can be captured by the digital glove which are then converted to speech/text so that it could easily be understood by the common people. The experiments conducted with the design prototype have shown significant interaction improvements among the society and deaf-mute people. The experiments on modeling and improving the prototype is going on to improvise the interaction specially for mobile devices.

Slurm is a widely used resource management software for Linux cluster. It has several CPU selection plugins with different allocation strategies suitable for different scenarios. But the GPU allocation is constrained by the selected CPU's location because GPUs can only be accessed by the process running on the same node. This restriction may cause job waiting for GPUs even if there are some free GPUs in the cluster. This paper presents a global GPU management plugin for Slurm. The plugin using remote GPU virtualization method detaches the GPUs to form a global GPU pool and decouples the GPU allocation procedure from the CPU's. GPUs in the pool are available to CUDA jobs on any node in the cluster. Furthermore, we implement two GPU selection strategy, best fit and local first. Experiments show the global GPU management plugin shorter the job's waiting time and makes efficient use of GPUs in the cluster.

This work is an attempt to enhance the performance of SVM for document classification using the concept of assigning fuzzy membership to documents in a class. We have proposed a novel way of computing the class representative vectors to get better membership value viz. Preprocessed Mean based FSVM (PM-FSVM). PM-FSVM is based on the concept of preprocessing the mean vector before selecting the class representative (CR) vector with the help of uniformity measure. The strength of our work lies in reducing the effect of outliers and assigning higher membership to the documents which are good representative of their respective classes. The proposed models were compared with standard SVM and FSVM. Experimental results show that our work performs better than existing ones both in terms of recall and precision.

Development of solar energy worldwide in the last ten years has brought into purview the maximum power point tracking and module mismatch losses. Such losses are mainly occurred by partial shading of the solar panel and various kinds of solar modules. These losses can be reduced by different parameter analysis. There are five various interconnected plans, which depict reasonably reliable power production prognosticate under normal operating condition. PV is the method of generating electric power conversion i.e. solar radiation into electrical power using semiconductor devices exhibiting the photovoltaic effects. The analysis of current over voltage and power over voltage characteristics at varying solar irradiation levels and temperatures has been obtained. In this study, a novel theoretical model, offering a good compromise between simplicity and accuracy, is developed using Matlab to determine the parametric study of different types of solar module /arrays to demonstrate a feasibility and reliability of the simulation model.

The battery charger manufacturers want high power density with lower size and weight for on-board plug-in electric vehicles. But battery chargers with isolated converters is one of the major barriers for weight and power density. In addition, due to flow of second harmonic ripple in dc-link, a bulky dc-link capacitor is deployed at PFC stage, which has another cause of low power density in two stage battery charging. To deal with above aspects, this study presents a two-stage single-phase non-isolated converter for an onboard plug-in electric vehicles with sinusoidal charging battery method. The first stage is a conventional boost power factor correction (PFC) converter and the second stage is a proposed bidirectional dc/dc converter. In addition that, the second stage bidirectional dc/dc converter also has efficiency improvement compared to conventional two switches buck/ boost converter. The sinusoidal charging method of the battery allows to reduce the dc-link capacitor about 85–90% compared to conventional two-stage charging methods. The simulation results are shown to validate the proposed charger.

In recent times the identification and parking of vehicle has become a difficult task because of the increase in the number of automobiles. In the existing surveillance system the maintenance of incoming and outgoing vehicles is difficult. To resolve this problem a number of techniques can be used out of which Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is most the suitable technology. OCR has been the subject of research for more than decades. OCR is defined as the conversion of scanned images into machine encoded text. The proposed system is implementing the OCR technology to park the vehicles in smart way and keep the track of the vehicles which are entering and leaving. The system will capture the image of number plate of the vehicle using the OCR process and will instantly update the database.

Controller Area Network (CAN) has become the most popular protocol for real-time control and automation systems due to its high reliability and low cost. However, CAN suffers from a limitation on the maximum length of a single bus arising from its specified bus topology. In order to solve this drawback indicated, a new internetworking device had been proposed to divide large-scale CAN networks into several subnets. The internetworking device not only plays the role of hub for an active-star topology but also efficiently connects all subnets by employed additional functions. In this letter, we proposed an analytical performance model of the internetworking device in CAN-Based Networks. In this model, the extra delay caused by internetworking device when exchanging the messages among different subnets is analyzed. It can be seen that theoretical analyzes better fit experimental results.

Image processing is a comprehensive term for delineating and scrutinizing data in its very visual form. Virtual reality right since its embryonic stage holds big potential to become the next big computing platform. Images can be wielded to create visual experiences and employ it to solve existing problems. This paper flaunts the fusion of image processing and computer vision by proposing a method to create a prototype of virtual piano that would allow user to play actual piano by just touching its image or projection, showcasing virtual reality. This in turn would help to eradicate the problem of portability of bulky pianos by replacing them with just an ‘image’, thus making it cost efficient. This whole process is subsumed in stages of extracting piano from a real world image, finding the particular key user touch and then generating corresponding key's sound. This paper also explains the future possibilities of making touch or pressure sensitive piano by using depth sensing techniques. Thus, this paper would open the gates for exploring other possibilities for blending these two techniques to solve other prevailing problems and making life of people easier.
