Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Multi-Path Routing for Load Balancing in Mobile Ad Hoc NetworksS. Soundararajan, R. S. BhuvaneswaranProblem statement: Load balancing and network congestion are the major problems in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET) routing. Most of the existing routing protocols provide solutions to load balancing or congestion or fault-tolerance, individually. Approach: We propose congestion controlled adaptive multi-path routing protocol to achieve load balancing and avoid congestion in MANETs. The algorithm for finding multi-path routes computes fail-safe multiple … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 18 Feb 2012 · 7,451 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHand Gesture Recognition for Human-Computer InteractionS. Mohamed Mansoor Roomi, R. Jyothi Priya, H. JayalakshmiProblem statement: With the development of ubiquitous computing, current user interaction approaches with keyboard, mouse and pen are not sufficient. Due to the limitation of these devices the useable command set is also limited. Direct use of hands can be used as an input device for providing natural interaction. Approach: In this study, Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) was used to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,314 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Modeling of Flow in a Horizontal Sand FilterRuth Mossad, Hal AralProblem statement: Horizontal sand filters may offer some advantage over vertical sand filters as they could be used for in-line treatment of wastewaters. Horizontal pipelines of tens and if not hundreds of meters length, filled with ordinary sand or permeable reactive media such as activated carbon or natural zeolite or iron filings, may be used to remove impurities from mine … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,508 accessesView PDFCite

TardifProblem statement: Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols are one of most important research issues in communication and networking. There have been proposed several MAC protocols in wireless as well in wired networks. Approach: ALOHA-based protocol is the simplest one, being able to provide prompt access, reliable channels and support for quality of service. However its limited capacity, low throughput and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 6,922 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReconfigurable Elliptic Curve Crypto-Hardware Over the Galois Field GF(2163)Mohamed Abdelkader Bencherif, Hamid Bessalah, Abderrezak GuessoumProblem statement: In the last decade, many hardware designs of elliptic curves cryptography have been developed, aiming to accelerate the scalar multiplication process, mainly those based on the Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA), the major issue concerned the ability of embedding this strategic and strong algorithm in a very few hardware. That is, finding an optimal solution to the one … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,349 accessesView PDFCite
