Semantic Annotation and Search for Educational Resources Supporting Distance LearningC. Nithya, K. Saravanan
Multimedia educational resources play an important role in education, particularly for distance learning environments. With the rapid growth of the multimedia web, large numbers of education articles video resources are increasingly being created by several different organizations. It is crucial to explore, share, reuse, and link these educational resources for better e-learning experiences. Most of the video resources are currently annotated in an isolated way, which means that they lack semantic connections. Thus, providing the facilities for annotating these video resources is highly demanded. These facilities create the semantic connections among video resources and allow their metadata to be understood globally. Adopting Linked Data technology, this paper introduces a video annotation and browser platform with two online tools: Notitia and Sansu-Wolke. Notitia enables users to semantically annotate video resources using vocabularies defined in the Linked Data cloud. Sansu-Wolke allows users to browse semantically linked educational video resources with enhanced web information from different online resources. In the prototype development, the platform uses existing video resources for education articles. The result of the initial development demonstrates the benefits of applying Linked Data technology in the aspects of reusability, scalability, and extensibility

Achieve Better Ranking Accuracy Using CloudRank Framework for Cloud ServicesM. Subha, K. Saravanan
Building high quality cloud applications becomes an urgently required research problem. Nonfunctional performance of cloud services is usually described by quality-of-service (QoS). In cloud applications, cloud services are invoked remotely by internet connections. The QoS Ranking of cloud services for a user cannot be transferred directly to another user, since the locations of the cloud applications are quite different. Personalized QoS Ranking is required to evaluate all candidate services at the user - side but it is impractical in reality. To get QoS values, the service candidates are usually required and it is very expensive. To avoid time consuming and expensive realworld service invocations, this paper proposes a CloudRank framework which predicts the QoS ranking directly without predicting the corresponding QoS values. This framework provides an accurate ranking but the QoS values are same in both algorithms so, an optimal VM allocation policy is used to improve the QoS performance of cloud services and it also provides better ranking accuracy than CloudRank2 algorithm.

An Effective Fusion Technique of Cloud Computing and Networking SeriesK. Saravanan, S. Akshaya, R. Pavithra et al.
Cloud computing is making it possible to separate the process of building an infrastructure for service provisioning from the business of providing end user services. Today, such infrastructures are normally provided in large data centres and the applications are executed remotely from the users. One reason for this is that cloud computing requires a reasonably stable infrastructure and networking environment, largely due to management reasons. Networking of Information (NetInf) is an information centric networking paradigm that can support cloud computing by providing new possibilities for network transport and storage. It offers direct access to information objects through a simple API, independent of their location in the network. This abstraction can hide much of the complexity of storage and network transport systems that cloud computing today has to deal with. In this paper we analyze how cloud computing and NetInf can be combined to make cloud computing infrastructures easier to manage, and potentially enable deployment in smaller and more dynamic networking environments. NetInf should thus be understood as an enhancement to the infrastructure for cloud computing rather than a change to cloud computing technology as such. To illustrate the approach taken by NetInf, we also describe how it can be implemented by introducing a specific name resolution and routing mechanism.

A new application of Multi modal Biometrics in home and office security systemK. Saravanan, C. Saranya, M. Saranya
Biometric door lock security systems are used at those places where you have important information and stuffs. In that kind of places multibiometric electronic door lock security systems that are based on finger print and iris recognization.Multibiometric door lock security systems are used to prevent the door related burglaries such as break ins occurred in different forms so this is the best method to prevent this type of happenings. Unlike keyed locks, there is no need to take the keys with you when you go out without necessary of worrying about losing keys.This paper proposes a multimodal biometrics door lock system with iris and fingerprint as a computer application for automatically identifying or verifying a person from fingerprint iris recognition system. The first stage is identification and second one is verifying that whether he is a genuine user or imposter. During second stage system compares the input set with all available stored set in database. This comparison gives a ranked list of matches. Based on the rank retrieved an alarm is activated automatically when any unauthorized person tries to open the door. So this kind of multimodal biometrics will provide a highly secured and authenticated access.

A Novel Bluetooth Man-In-The-Middle Attack Based On SSP using OOB Association modelK. Saravanan, L. Vijayanand, R. K. Negesh
As an interconnection technology, Bluetooth has to address all traditional security problems, well known from the distributed networks. Moreover, as Bluetooth networks are formed by the radio links, there are also additional security aspects whose impact is yet not well understood. In this paper, we propose a novel Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attack against Bluetooth enabled mobile phone that support Simple Secure Pairing(SSP). From the literature it was proved that the SSP association models such as Numeric comparison, Just works and passkey Entry are not more secure. Here we propose the Out Of Band (OOB) channeling with enhanced security than the previous methods.
