Title : Multilayer Perception Neural Network Model to Improve Customer Relationship Management in Electronic Transaction Expansion in Banking Sector

Author Name : Bhaskar Reddy Muvva Vijay, Gharib Isamail Gharib Al-Matroushi

Synopsis :

Today, many businesses such as banks, insurance companies, and other service providers realize the importance of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and its potential to help them acquire new customers retain existing ones and maximize their lifetime value. Artificial Intelligence adapts characteristics of human problem-solving skills and then applies them as algorithms easily comprehended by computer systems. Such systems are routinely and widely used today by banks, hospitals, corporations, militaries and homes around the world. Data mining gives an opportunity, uses a variety of data analysis and modeling methods to specific trends and relationships in data detection. This helps to understand what a customer wants and anticipate what they will do. In this paper, the authors examine the application of k-means clustering and classification multilayer perception of artificial neural network on CRM in the case of EFT of POS service of the Bank Muscat. The results demonstrate the final dataset consists of 110000 records in which different clustering models at k values of 6, 5, and 4 with different seed values has been used as an input for the multilayer perception neural network model and evaluated against their performances. Thus, the cluster model at k value of 6 with default seed value has shown a better performance by using Weka-3-7-2 tool.

Title : Fault Tolerance in IEC 61850 based Micro Grid Automation Network

Author Name : Y Jaganmohan Reddy, Pavan Kumar Y V, K Padma Raju , Anilkumar Ramsesh

Synopsis :

Substation Automation Networks are increasingly deployed with devices adhering to IEC 61850 communication standards. Substation equipment can be categorized as critical infrastructure and hence the expectation on the availability and reliability is high. The high levels of availability in substations are required for the electronic devices and communication devices as well. Due to the nature of the application, the communication latency of the substation events shall be very high due to the criticality of the information carried in the network. One of the methods to improve the availability of the communication system is to provide redundancy. The IEC 61850 communication is based on the Ethernet and hence carries some disadvantages like very fast switchover and recovery in the event of link or switch failures. The paper aims at study of the redundant communication paths, recovery scenarios, tolerance levels, fault detection and associated impact on the communications. The above study is performed in the context of an automation system for integrating the Distributed Energy Sources to the Electrical Power System.

Detection of Man-In-The-Middle Attack In Computer Networks

Title : Detection of Man-In-The-Middle Attack In Computer Networks

Author Name : ABDUL-MUMIN SALIFU

Synopsis :

In this paper, the author presented how Man-in-the-Middle problem can be executed by an attacker. He also proposed a simple and lightweight protocol that will make it undesirable for black hats to carry out this act. The proposed detection protocol has been simulated in a wireless environment to test the effectiveness of the detection mechanism. In all cases the simulated man-in-the-middle attack was detected. The performance of the proposed detection mechanism was evaluated against an existing detection mechanism.

Title : BER & PER Performance analysis on SUI Fading Channel in WMAN OFDM

Author Name : Prabakaran Narayanaswamy, K.S. Shaji

Synopsis :

The objective of this paper is the performance of WiMAX under Stanford University Interim (SUI) fading channels in IEEE802.16 using different data rates and digital modulation (BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM and 64-QAM) techniques were analyzed. Most existing systems, based on performance and evaluation under channel condition are limited to AWGN, ITU in WiMAX. The performance of OFDM physical layer in WiMAX based on the simulation results of Bit Error Rate (BER) versus the ratio of bit energy to noise power spectral density (Eb/No) and the Packet Error Rate (PER) versus the ratio of bit energy to noise power spectral density (Eb/No). The system parameters used in this paper are based on IEEE 802.16 standards. The performance analysis of WiMAX is done in ADS simulation.

Title : Effect on Modal-Index due to an Etched Film Thickness in 3-D Ridge Waveguide Structure

Author Name : S. K. Raghuwanshi, Ajay Kumar, Santosh Kumar

Synopsis :

The ridge waveguides is the most commonly used structure in integrated optics, especially in semiconductor diode lasers. Demands for new applications such as high-speed data backplanes in integrated electronics, waveguide filters, optical multiplexers and optical switches are driving technology toward better materials and processing techniques for planar waveguide structures. This paper addresses mainly the application of modal method to analyze the 3-D ridge waveguide structure. We have analyzed the modal index of ridge waveguide using various numerical methods based on Beam propagation method. Scalar, semi-vector, and full-vector propagation analysis are done for different etched film thickness (d) . The results calculated by the proposed scheme for dispersion characteristics of ridge waveguides shows good agreement with previously published data based on other rigorous numerical methods.
