We address the advancement and development of MEMS ultrasonic transducer for underwater applications. The development of MEMS transducer is investigated and proved that it is a viable concept. The flexibility in tailoring their frequency and acoustic impedance increases the potential of their application in various fields. Compared to conventional, MEMS offer the advantage of superior performance as far as bandwidth is concerned. In spite of their lower coupling coefficient, there is a potential for significant improvement. We present the latest design of the piezoelectric, pressure and capacitive transducers. The material employed, method utilized in development, performance and capacity of each transducer is presented. Finally, the importance and needs for modeling and simulation is discussed. Currently we design and modeling a micro size transducer in Intellisuite software.Keywords

The Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) are wireless networks where a collection of mobile nodes may dynamically vary the topological structure. The design of efficient routing protocols is a fundamental problem in MANETs. Stability-based routing and Power-aware routing protocols are simulated. In this paper the Flow-Oriented Routing Protocol (FORP), Min-Max Battery Cost Routing (MMBCR) as representatives of the Stability-based routing and Power-aware routing respectively. FORP incurs the least number of route transitions, its tends to repeatedly use nodes lying on the stable path. MMBCR is most fair in terms of node usage and minimum energy consumed by per data packet whereas FORP incurs maximum energy consumed by per data packet. FORP gives higher values of packet delivery fraction. A high value of PDF indicates that most of the packets are being delivered to the higher layers and is a good indicator of the protocol performance. MMBCR make minimum use of power control by conserving the battery charge at the nodes while transferring data packets. Compared to that of the FORP, MMBCR have the smallest hop count and lowest end-to-end delay per data packet. The simulation of these protocols has been carried out by using NS-2 simulator. Five different simulation scenarios are generated and maximum node speed has been varied and other network parameters are kept constant during the simulation. The main objective of this paper is to implement the FORP and MMBCR and compare the performance metrics of route transitions, end-to-end delay, energy and packet delivery fraction.Keywords

Providing security and privacy in mobile ad hoc networks has been a major issue over the last few years. It is more challenging due to advances in techniques of eavesdropping, locating and fingerprinting wireless transmissions. In particular, the mobile ad hoc networks are vulnerable to passive attacks that threaten the privacy of communications. In this paper, we first investigate the emerging threat of venue privacy attacks (VPAs) to trace mobile wireless nodes. We then propose motion-mix as the solution. The motion-mix is a geographic area in which the relation between nodes is hidden. The motion-mix provides protection at all the layers of the protocol stack. The necessary conditions to implement motion-mix are then studied. We further verify the effectiveness of motion-mix against venue privacy attack using a simulated network security model. We prove that the probability of security breach is negligible with respect to the polynomial-bounded network scale. This notion is conforming to the existing security notions in computational cryptography, where the polynomial-bounded metric is key length.Keywords

The most important technology for fast payload inspection is an efficient multi-pattern matching algorithm, which performs exact string matching between packets and a large set of predefined patterns. In this paper, we have proposed a novel Enhanced Hierarchical Multi-pattern Matching Algorithm (EHMA) for packet inspection. Based on the occurrence frequency of grams, a small set of the most frequent grams is discovered and used in the EHMA. EHMA is a two-tier and cluster-wise matching algorithm, which significantly reduces the amount of external memory accesses and the capacity of memory. Using a skippable scan strategy, EHMA speeds up the scanning process. Furthermore, independent of parallel and special functions, EHMA is very simple and therefore practical for both software and hardware implementations. Simulation results reveal that EHMA significantly improves the matching performance. The speed of EHMA is about 0.89-1.161 times faster than that of current matching algorithms. Even under real-life intense attack, EHMA still performs well. An intrusion detection system must reliably detect malicious activities in a network and must perform efficiently to cope with the large amount of network traffic. High attack detection accuracy can be achieved by using Conditional Random fields and high efficiency is achieved by implementing the Layered Approach. System is robust and is able to handle noisy data without compromising performance. To detect as many attacks as possible with minimum number of false alarms, i.e., the system must be accurate in detecting attacks.Keywords

In recent years, applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been increased due to its vast potential to connect the physical world to the virtual world. Also, an advance in microelectronic fabrication technology reduces the cost of manufacturing portable wireless sensor nodes. It becomes a trend to deploy the large numbers of portable wireless sensors in WSNs to increase the Quality of Service (QoS). The QoS of such WSNs is mainly affected by the failure of sensor nodes. Probability of sensor node failure increases with increase in number of sensors. In order to maintain the better QoS under failure conditions, identifying and detaching such faults are essential. In the proposed method, faulty sensor node is detected by measuring the Round Trip Delay (RTD) time of discrete round trip paths and comparing them with threshold value. Scalability of proposed method is verified by simulating the WSNs with large numbers of sensor nodes in NS2. The RTD time results derived in hardware and software implementations are almost equal, justifying the real time applicability of the investigated method. Necessity of received signal strength measurement in cluster head variation and assigning separate wavelength for each link in other fault detection techniques are overcome here.

To gain information about user interests in Web pages is needed to advance in Web security. An approach to pick up that information includes understanding the client's perusing conduct, examining the Web log records with the procedures of preprocessing and client clustering. Time spent on Web pages and the types of operations show the degree of a Web user's intention. The data set comprises of Web log files obtained by collecting the user logs during a six month period. A new enhanced K-means clustering algorithm proposed in this paper for grouping user based on their preferred Web content and their temporal constraints. The enhanced K-mean clustering calculates initial centroids instead of random choice and uses time intervals to heighten the security and performance. Utilizing this methodology, client access designs with comparable looking practices are assembled into a particular class amid a particular time interval. Also secured communication among the various users groups will be achieved through hill cipher technique.Keywords

Objectives: To calculate the load flow analysis by using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and the Cascade Architecture (CC) with Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm is used for this proposed system. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Many conventional methods such as Newton-Raphson method, Gauss-Seidel method, AC load flow analysis etc., are used to estimate the load flow analysis of a power system. The major backdrops in using these methods are, using complex non-linear equations, iterative methods and time consuming. To overcome these problems, this paper discusses using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) which reduces the time consumption in calculating load flow analysis. Findings: In the real-time planning and operation of a power system the major consideration is voltage stability assessment. The voltage instability in a power system will lead to a blackout condition. The continuous increase in load demand, changes in system conditions causes voltage collapse. So the on-line monitoring of voltage stability is a necessary condition. Application/Improvements: The output of the load flow analysis is used to calculate the Index that is used to maintain the system in stable limits.Keywords
