Security and Privacy Support for Data-Centric Sensor Networks
Abstract

demand for efficient data dissemination/access techniques to find relevant data from within a sensor network has led to the development of Data-Centric Sensor (DCS) networks where the sensor data instead of sensor nodes are named based on attributes such as event type or geographic location.

However, saving data inside a network also creates security problems due to the lack of tamper resistance of the sensor nodes and the unattended nature of the sensor network.

1. INTRODUCTION
There are number of existing retrieval techniques for images. Text based techniques are the most
commonly used. In text-based systems the images are first annotated by text and then text indexing and
retrieval techniques are used. Content based retrieval techniques followed the text-based system where
in low level image features like color, texture etc. are used to retrieve similar images. In text-based
systems, manual annotation poses a ....etc

Abstract:
Through an examination of the emerging domain of cognitive systems, with a focus on attention-centric cognitive systems used for notification, this document explores the human-computer interaction challenges that must be addressed for successful interface design. This document asserts that with compatible tools and methods, user notification requirements and interface usability can be abstracted, expressed, and compared with critical parameter ratings; that is, even novice designers can assess attention cost factors to deter ....etc

One of the main challenges of modern processor design is the implementation of a scalable and efficient mechanism to detect memory access order violations as a result of out-of-order execution. Traditional age-ordered associative load queues are complex, inefficient, and power hungry. In this paper, we introduce two new dependence checking schemes with different design tradeoffs, but both explicitly rely on timing information as a primary instrument to rule out dependence violation. Our timing-centric designs operate at a fraction of the energy ....etc

Making Bioinformatics Tools User-centric

Bioinformatics tools and software frameworks are becoming increasingly important in the analysis of genomic and biological data. To understand how to construct and design effective tools for Biologists, both their interaction behavior and task flow need to be captured. In this presentation, we will begin by modeling the biologist, including experiences with current tools, and demonstrate how this information can be transformed into UI design patterns.

ARCHITECTURE CENTRIC DESIGN METHOD


INTRODUCTION
Functionality is a measure of how well a software
intensive system does the work it was intended to
do, but functionality is not all that matters. Various
properties like performance, modifiability, and
availability matter as much as functionality does.
These properties are intertwined with functionality;
they are promoted and inhibited by the structures of
a software intensive system. While many structur ....etc
