Author:	ADIL EL KABLI, MY AHMED FAQIHI, AHMED HAMMOUCH
Abstract:	OCDMA multiplexing technique has gained increasing interest from researchers and has made great progress due to its easy access and flexible network structure. DS-OCDMA systems suffer however from many noises, the most serious is multiple access interferences (MAI), in order to mitigate the effect of MAI, codes offering high performances in term of auto-correlation and cross-correlation like Optical Orthogonal Codes (OOC) or Prime Codes (PC) have been proposed but as the entire burden of performances could not be placed on code design only, numerous detection strategies have been developed to help increase the system performances. In this paper, we present a statistical based method that uses both conventional detection and non linear detection in an efficient way. The results show that we can reduce by 24\% up to 60\% the detection complexity while keeping the BER at the same level.

Title:	DATA HIDING SECURITY USING BIT MATCHING-BASED STEGANOGRAPHY AND CRYPTOGRAPHY WITHOUT CHANGE THE STEGO IMAGE QUALITY
Author:	ALAMSYAH, MUCH AZIZ MUSLIM, BUDI PRASETIYO
Abstract:	This research discussed about the data hiding information using steganography and cryptography. New method are discussed to secure data without change the quality of image as cover medium. Steganographic method is used by find the similarity bit of the message with bit of the MSB (Most Significant Bit) image cover. Finding of similarity process is done by divide and conquer method.The results are bit indexposition, thenthenencrypted using cryptographic. In this paper we using DES (Data Encryption Standard) algorithm. We use data information as message, images, and key as an input. Then, we use our method to secure message. The output is encrypted bit index which containt data hiding information and can be used to secure the messages. To reconstruct the contents, we require the same image and same key. Outcomes of our method can be used to secure the data. The advantages of this method are the capacity of stored data hiding of messages can be larger than the image. The image quality will not change and the capacity of stored messages can be larger than the image. Acoording to the research, both gray scale and colorful images can be used as image cover, except the image contains 100% black and 100% white. Bit matching process on image which have much variety of color takes less time. The damage of messages due to the addition of “salt and pepper” noise starts from 0.00049of MSE.

Title:	THE EXTRACTION AND THE RECOGNITION OF FACIAL FEATURE STATE TO EMOTION RECOGNITION BASED ON CERTAINTY FACTOR
Author:	I GEDE ARIS GUNADI, AGUS HARJOKO, RETANTYO WARDOYO, NEILA RAMDHANI
Abstract:	Psychologically, emotion is related to someone’s feeling in particular condition. Some fields like: health, psychology, and police investigation need the information of emotion recognition. Human’s emotion can be classified into six types include happy, sad, angry, fear, disgusted, and normal. Psychologically, there are some methods that can be used to emotion recognition, like self-report analysis, automatic measure, startle response magnitude, FMRI analysis (Functional Magnetic Response Imaging), and behavior response. Each of those methods has their own advantage and disadvantage. The aim of this research is to determine someone’s emotion in a video scene. The video was decomposed into image frame and in each image frame was extracted into feature (component) face, which include mouth, eyes, nose, and forehead. The feature extraction was done by combining two methods based on the color and the facial geometric figure. The state of each face feature related to AU’s (Action Unit) face that used to emotion recognition. State recognition of mouth and eyes can be seen based on the feature elongation, state on the forehead and nose are known based on the wrinkle density. In the last part of emotion, recognition is done with certainty factor method to determine the quality of each emotion, the classification of actor’s emotion is determined based on the quality level of maximum emotion. The results showed recognition of emotion in a single image, the average accuracy of 77%, while in the video, the average accuracy of 76.6%.

Title:	HCMX: AN EFFICIENT HYBRID CLUSTERING APPROACH FOR MULTI-VERSION XML DOCUMENTS
Author:	VIJAY SONAWANE , D.RAJESWARA.RAO
Abstract:	In order to retrieve useful information from large number of growing XML documents on the web, effective management of XML document is essential. One solution is to cluster XML documents to find knowledge that promote effective information management and maintenance. But in the real world XML documents are dynamic in nature. In contrast to static XML documents, changes from one version of XML document to another version cannot be predicted. So clustering technique of static XML documents cannot be used to cluster multiple versions of XML documents. In case of multiversion XML documents, preliminary clustering solution is not become valid after document versions appear. XML documents are self descriptive in nature, which results in large document size. To find new clustering solution after change, comparisions between all documents is not viable solution. In this paper we have proposed hybrid clustering approach to cluster multiversion XML documents. This approach improves speed of clustering by limiting the growing size of XML documents by using homo-morphic compression scheme and using distance information from preliminary clustering solution with the changes recorded in compressed delta

Title:	RECOGNIZING THE 2D FACE USING EIGEN FACES BY PCA
Author:	M. JASMINE PEMEENA PRIYADARSINI , K.MURUGESAN , SRINIVASA RAO INABATHINI ,G.K RAJINI4, DINESH , AJAY KUMAR. R
Abstract:	Face Recognition is the process of identification of a person by their facial image. This technique makes it possible to use the facial images of a person to authenticate him into a secure system, for criminal identification, for passport verification etc. Face recognition approaches for still images can be broadly categorized into holistic methods and feature based methods . Holistic methods use the entire raw face image as an input, whereas feature based methods extract local facial features and use their geometric and appearance properties. The present thesis primarily focuses on Principal Component Analysis (PCA), for the analysis and the implementation is done in software, MATLAB. This face recognition system recognizes the faces where the pictures are taken by web-cam or a digital camera are given as test database and these face images are then checked with training image dataset based on descriptive features]. Descriptive features are used to characterize images. It describes how to build a simple, yet a complete face recognition ] system using Principal Component Analysis, a Holistic approach. This method applies linear projection to the original image space to achieve dimensionality reduction. The system functions by projecting face images onto a feature space that spans the significant variations among known face images. The significant features known as eigenfaces do not necessarily correspond to features such as ears, eyes and noses. It provides for the ability to learn and later recognize new faces in an unsupervised manner. This method is found to be fast, relatively simple, and works well in a constrained environment.

Title:	A CUCKOO SEARCH BASED PAIRWISE STRATEGY FOR COMBINATORIAL TESTING PROBLEM
Author:	ABDULLAH B. NASSER, YAZAN A. SARIERA, ABDUL RAHMAN A. ALSEWARI, AND KAMAL Z. ZAMLI
Abstract:	Combinatorial Testing (CT) is a sampling technique to generate test cases with a focus on the behavior of interaction system's components with their collaborators. Given its effectiveness to reveal faults, pairwise testing has often been chosen to perform the required sampling of test cases. The main concern for pairwise testing is to obtain the most optimal test sets (i.e. pairwise dictates that every pair of input values is covered by a test case at least once). This paper discusses the design and implementation a new pairwise strategy based on Cuckoo Search, called Pairwise Cuckoo Search strategy (PairCS). PairCS serves as our vehicle to investigate the usefulness of Cuckoo Search for pairwise testing.

Title:	WORD SENSE DISAMBIGUATION BASED ON YAROWSKY APPROACH IN ENGLISH QURANIC INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEM
Author:	OMAR JAMAL MOHAMED, SABRINA TIUN
Abstract:	Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is the process of eliminating ambiguity that lies on some words by identifying the exact sense of a given word. In the natural languages, many words could yield multiple meaning based on the context. WSD aims to identify the most accurate sense for such cases. In particular, when translating one language to another, there would be a possibility to tackle an ambiguity among the translated words. Quran, which is the holy book for approximately billion Muslims, has been originally written in Arabic language. Apparently, when translating Quran to English language, several semantic issues have been caught by researchers. Such issues lies on the ambiguity of words such as ‘ليلا ونهارا’ and ‘يوم الحساب’, which are translated into ‘day and night’ and ‘judgment day’. Such ambiguity has to be eliminated by determining the exact sense of the translated word. Several research efforts have been intended to disambiguate the sense of translated Quran. However, the process of identifying an appropriate method for WSD in translated Quran is still challenging task. This is due to the complexity of Arabic morphology. Hence, this study aims to propose an adaption for Yarowsky algorithm as a WSD method for Quranic translation. In addition, this study aims to develop an IR prototype based on the proposed adaption method in order to evaluate such method based on the retrieval effectiveness. In fact, the dataset that has been used in this study is a collection of Quranic content. Several pre-processing tasks have been performed in order to eliminate the irrelevant data such as stop-words, numbers and punctuation. Sequentially, two lists of senses for each ambiguity word will be created with their context. This would be performed in order to let the Yarowsky algorithm train on such example set. After that, a decision list will be constructed by the Yarowsky algorithm, which depicts the labelling sense of each word. The evaluation method that has been used in this study is the three IR evaluation metrics; Precision, Recall and F-measure. The experimental results have shown a 77% of f-measure. Such result seems to be weak in compared to the results of Yarowsky that have been applied in open domain. This is due to the lack of examples that could be extracted from Quran for both senses. Meanwhile, such result seems to be competitive in WSD of Quranic translation. Finally, it can be concluded that WSD has a significant impact on the IR system by improving the retrieval effectiveness.

Author:	KRISHNA MOHAN KUDIRI, ABAS MD SAID, M YUNUS NAYAN
Abstract:	Human-human communication in social environment is only possible through speech, facial expressions and bodily changes. In this research work, speech and facial expressions is used in order to estimate basic emotions (angry, sad, happy, boredom, disgusting and surprise) using a computer. A new asynchronous hybrid technique through Relative Bin Frequency Coefficients (RBFC) and Relative Sub-Image Base (RSB) is used in order to deal with the above modalities which are different in time, scale and dimension. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used for classification. From experimental results, the proposed system performs better than the conventional systems.

Title:	NTCCRT: A CONCURRENT CONSTRAINT FRAMEWORK FOR SOFT REAL-TIME MUSIC INTERACTION
Author:	MAURICIO TORO, CAMILO RUEDA, CARLOS AGÓN, GÉRARD ASSAYAG
Abstract:	Writing music interaction systems is not easy because their concurrent processes usually access shared resources in a non-deterministic order, often leading to unpredictable behavior. Using Pure Data (Pure Data) and Max/MSP, it is possible to program concurrency; however, it is difficult to synchronize processes based on multiple criteria. Process calculi such as the Non-deterministic Timed Concurrent Constraint (ntcc) calculus, overcome that problem by representing, declaratively, the synchronization of multiple criteria as constraints. In this article, we propose the framework Ntccrt, as a new alternative to manage concurrency in Pure Data and Max/MSP. Ntccrt is a real-time capable interpreter for ntcc. Using Ntccrt binary plugins in Pure Data, we executed models for machine improvisation and signal processing. We also analyzed two case studies: one of a machine improvisation system and one of a signal processing system. We found out that performance of both case studies is compatible with soft real-time music interaction; it means, a musician can interact with Ntccrt without noticeable delays during the interaction.
