Integrated metric combining both difference and commonness of image pairs has shown to achieve superior performance over difference-only based metrics in similarity learning. The integrated metric can be learned quickly by computing the log-likelihood ratio between the probability distribution functions of similar and dissimilar image pairs. Under pair constrained Gaussian assumption, the learning involves the computation of inverse of covariance matrices using maximum likelihood criterion which may lead to a degraded solution if proper regularization is not done. In this paper, we study the influence of regularization in integrated metric learning. Person re-identification is chosen as the target application to demonstrate the effectiveness of the regularized metric. Moreover, comparison with recent methods on challenging benchmark datasets in the domain of person reidentification like VIPeR and PRID450S shows that our method achieves better or comparable re-identification rates than other methods.

Virtual reality has given a paradigm shift to the technological world. Compared to a world of just images, it renders an artificial environment which provides an immersive experience to its users. VR is not only enhancing lives of physically fit people but also changing the life styles of disabled people. This paper discusses how virtual reality has changed lifestyles of disabled people and how virtual reality (VR) can increase the usability of the systems designed for disabled people. The actual focus is to describe the weak points of disabled people that are being addressed by VR. Evaluation of the systems using VR technology against simple systems (without VR) has also been carried out which highlights significant changes in the usability and user experience of devices, designed for disabled people.

Intelligent Personal Assistance are poised to become the primary and most significant Human Computer Interface in the near future. This is attributed to advancements in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Internet of Things, Natural Language Processing and Data Sciences. A range of generic as well as specialized IPAs are being researched and developed by industry. Despite security and privacy issues, the adoption and utility of these agents is increasing. This paper proposes a singular adaptive multi-role IPA (SAM-IPA) that goes beyond scheduling and search facilities to handling multidimensional IoT as well as application data. SAM-IPA will not only act as a singular HCI responsible for delegation of multifarious tasks on behalf of the user but will also increase awareness via IoT and adapt based on ML over BigData. The proposed SAM-IPA will leverage the application interface communication mechanisms and technology potentials in the foreseeable horizon thereby drawing concrete findings while identifying research areas needing deliberation.

Blockchain is a shared distributed ledger that promises tamper-proof secure transactions over the highly available and resilient network involving multiple participants. Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) has revolutionized the blockchain technology. Owing to its optimized validation mechanism, high scalability, efficient provenance, support for IoT and multiparty involvement, DAG is rapidly over-shadowing traditional blockchain architecture. In this paper, we present a comparative analysis of most popular DAG based blockchain architectures including Nxt, IOTA, Orumesh, DagCoin,Byteball, Nano and XDAG. The comparison is based on the functional data structures for maintaining the ledger, consensus algorithms, transaction validation, ledger size, scalability and popularity. Extracting the best features various DAG based blockchains, we move on to outline the best of all worlds DAG-based blockchain architecture.

Vehicle speed monitoring and management of highways is the critical problem of the road in this modern age of growing technology and population. A poor management results in frequent traffic jam, traffic rules violation and fatal road accidents. Using traditional techniques of RADAR, LIDAR and LASAR to address this problem is time-consuming, expensive and tedious. This paper presents an efficient framework to produce a simple, cost efficient and intelligent system for vehicle speed monitoring. The proposed method uses an HD (High Definition) camera mounted on the road side either on a pole or on a traffic signal for recording video frames. On the basis of these frames, a vehicle can be tracked by using radius growing method, and its speed can be calculated by calculating vehicle mask and its displacement in consecutive frames. The method uses pattern recognition, digital image processing and mathematical techniques for vehicle detection, tracking and speed calculation. The validity of the proposed model is proved by testing it on different highways.

Vehicle-2-Everything (V2X) communication consists of mainly two types of communication, one is Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and the other is a vehicle to infrastructure(V2I).V2X has many uses including road safety that can help avoid collisions to infotainment like traffic information, navigation, and multimedia. As the driver assistance systems are rapidly growing, user interaction and acceptance of these systems has to be evaluated. The aim of this work is to improve an already existing communication model for V2X communication by minimizing the handover duration. IEEE 802.11p has been a standard for V2X communication. In IEEE 802.11p, due to high density, the data collision occurs. So we replaced IEEE 802.11p with 5G SDN based approach. Now the current communication simulation implements the X2 interface based Vehicle Unit Inter-system handover (VUIH)” in a partially 5G SDN-based V2X communication. Our proposed approach has achieved much better results than the baseline results. We have optimized the preparation time of handover by 1.24ms and completion time of handover by 0.8308ms.

Call for papers is an invitation to researchers for paper publication. Finding relevant conference for paper publication is important as it has a direct impact on researchers' profile, papers' acceptance and future citation of research work. However finding relevant conference is a time consuming job for researchers due to increasing number of conferences on daily basis. To address these issues, various Recommender Systems (RS) have been developed. Most of them are based on collaborative approaches which exploit users' preferences for recommendations, however such RS suffer from cold start problem. On the other hand, systems based on content based approaches uses items' features for recommendations, however these RS face various problems including limited content analysis and irrelevant recommendations. We addressed these issues by developing a content based CFP (Call for Papers) recommender system using selected features that can reflect researchers' preferences. These features include title, abstract, keywords, cited papers' titles and cited events. Experimental results show that the proposed system solve problems that traditional CFP recommender systems face and produce quality recommendation results.

Blockchain is a distributed ledger that gained a prevalent attention in many areas. Many industries have started to implement blockchain solutions for their application and services. It is important to know the key components, functional characteristics, and architecture of blockchain to understand its impact and applicability to various applications. The most well-known use case of blockchain is bitcoin: a cryptocurrency. Being a distributed ledger, consensus mechanism is needed among peer nodes of a blockchain network to ensure its proper working. Many consensus algorithms have been proposed in literature each having its own performance and security characteristics. One consensus algorithm cannot serve the requirements of every application. It is vital to technically compare the available consensus algorithms to highlight their strengths, weaknesses, and use cases. We have identified and discussed parameters related to performance and security of consensus in blockchain. The consensus algorithms are analyzed and compared with respect to these parameters. Research gap regarding designing an efficient consensus algorithm and evaluating existing algorithms is presented. This paper will act as a guide for developers and researchers to evaluate and design a consensus algorithm.
