Automation / Digital Logic Designing

Abstract / Introduction

Incidents like Thefts, Fire and LPG gas leakage are very common these days. What is uncommon, is

people’s awareness about different systems like a smoke detector, gas leakage detectors, etc.

Installing all these different detectors in order to keep the house secured is also something that is difficult to maintain. Here, we have designed an integrated home security system that would help people secure their houses from such incidents.

.

IOT based Home Security System project is designed to help an individual secure his/her house from theft, fire and LPG gas leakage – all in one. This project uses several different sensors, from which data is sent over a website & mobile application through IOT. However Internet of Things (IoT) is basically, the network of ‘things’ by which physical things can exchange data with the help of sensors, electronics, software, and connectivity. Moreover these systems do not require any human interaction.

IOT Based Home Security System uses four Sensors, namely, Temperature, Smoke, LPG and IR sensors. System will have a camera interfaced for security purposes related to theft & unauthorized entry.

.

However the System will sense Home Environmental Temperature, Smoke & LPG details through which it will provide intimation regarding any damage related to these things inside the home. System will have IR based sensing techniques to check false entry or any theft related security. A camera will be interfaced to provide the visual display or pictures at the entrance of the home. As soon as the person passes the IR sensor, the buzzer would be turned ON.

Temperature and Smoke sensors are used for fire detection. As soon as the fire is detected, the signal will be sent to the micro-controller which will then send appropriate data to the LCD and the GSM/Wi- Fi module.

Data is in turn sent to the owner mobile application using the IOT module. Similarly, the LPG sensor is used for LPG gas leakage detection. The Pre-requisite for this project is that the GSM/Wi-Fi module should be connected to a GSM/Wi-Fi zone or a hotspot. Camera pictures can be accessed by User End Mobile application.

Parking Space

Project Domain / Category

Mobile Application

Abstract / Introduction

Large cities are getting more and more crowded and finding parking space in them is a big problem. The app “Parking Space” provides vehicle owners or drivers with a list of parking slots for vehicles of different sizes available in the locations nearby their current location. However the owners/managers of some parking place will register themselves with the app by providing the list of parking slots (for particular vehicle sizes) as well as the hourly rate. Manager/owner of a parking place will mark each of its parking slot occupied or free.

The vehicle owner/driver can view the list of 10 free parking slots in its nearby locations. Moreover the vehicle owner/driver can book/reserve a parking slot which is free and will have to park its vehicle in that parking slot within 20 minutes of booking it. Once a parking slot becomes free, the owner/manager of the parking space will mark the parking slot free so that some vehicle owner/driver may book it again.

Functional Requirements:

1. Parking space owner/manager will register its parking space with the app.
2. After registering the parking space, the owner/manager will enter the parking slots available within the parking space. For each slot it will provide the following information:
   1. Vehicle size (length, width and height) suitable for the parking slot
   1. Hourly rate for the parking slot

Hint: A parking space has many parking slots and each parking space has a manager/owner responsible for all the parking slots within the parking space.

• A vehicle owner/driver will register itself as a user in the app.
• A registered user can view 10 parking slots (along with the hourly rate for each slot) whose status is “free” (which are neither reserved/booked nor occupied by someone) for a particular vehicle size which are nearest to its current location.

Hint: The app will let the user select a vehicle size. The app will then calculate the distance of all free slots for that vehicle size from the user’s current location. Finally, the app will display the ten slots of that size which are nearest to the user’s current location.

• A user can reserve/book a parking slot from the list (as explained in requirement no. 4). The

status of the parking slot will be changed from “free” to “reserved”.

Incorporating RTT in the Existing DCN Congestion Control

Project Domain / Category

Networking

Abstract / Introduction

Web applications are gradually shifting into cloud environments. These cloud services are hosted on huge scale computation and storage infrastructures called data centers (DC) (e.g. Google’s data center, Facebook’s data center etc.). In a large scale data center, hundreds of thousands of servers are interconnected through switches in a symmetric topology. A data center network (DCN) interconnects all the data center resources.

.

Current data center congestion control schemes may induce high latency in packet delivery due to path’s latency-oblivious congestion signal. Explicit congestion notification (ECN) is the predominantly used congestion signal in the data center networks; it signals whether any queue along the path is above a predefined threshold or not, but does not inform about the end-to-end delay of the path. Information of the end-to-end delay / round-trip-time (RTT) of a path can enable a sender to adjust its sending rate to keep the network latency below a threshold.

.

RTTs in data center networks are on the scale of up to few hundreds of microseconds and traditional data center operating systems lack such fine-grained microsecond-level timers; that is why delay-based congestion control schemes, that are widely deployed in the Internet, have not been used in the data center networks. But recent studies like [1] suggest that advances in NIC hardware has enabled accurate microsecond-level RTT measurement, thus, RTT can be incorporated in the data center congestion control schemes.

.

This project aims to incorporate RTT in the existing ECN based congestion control scheme; the implementation will be carried out in network simulator ns-2. The students will: i) study an existing widely-deployed DCN congestion control scheme and its implementation in ns-2, ii) design changes in the existing algorithm(s) to incorporate delay/RTT, iii) implement the design in the existing congestion control scheme in ns-2.

.

Working in ns-2 requires: i) understanding of basic commands of Linux operating systems (for ns-2 installation and running purposes), ii) excellent programming skills in C++ (for simulating the DCN environment and implementing the proposed changes in the existing congestion control scheme), iii) programming in TCL (for writing simulation scripts), iv) understanding of AWK command (for trace text processing), and v) understanding GNUPLOT command (for drawing graphs).

Intended Outcome

• Design of a path’s latency-aware DCN congestion control scheme
• Implementation of a path’s latency-aware DCN congestion control scheme in ns-2

Required Skills

1. Understanding of basic Linux commands
2. C++, TCL, AWK and GNUPLOT (for working in ns-2)

Opinion Mining For Social Networking Site

Project Domain / Category

Information Retrieval

Abstract / Introduction

Content growth in the Internet in recent years has made a huge volume of information available. Similarly this information is presented in different formats such as posts, news articles, comments, and reviews. Especially in the automotive, electronics and film sectors, customers have written reviews about products or their features. However By collecting and analyzing these reviews, new customers find others’ opinion about different features of the product. Moreover They can compare the products to each other to find the best one that meets their needs. Moreover, manufacturers will find out strengths and weaknesses of their products or those of their competitors. Muchmore In this way, manufacturers will solve the reported problems and use the business intelligence behind the analysis for future investments.

.

Sentiment analysis is an interdisciplinary field that crosses natural language processing, artificial intelligence, and text mining. From the sentiment perspective, there are two kinds of textual information, namely, facts and opinions. While facts are the objective statements about the nature of a product, opinions describe attitudes, appraisals, and emotions regarding a product, service, topic, or an issue. Similarly The opinions could be judgments, evaluations, affective (or emotional) states, beliefs, or wishes. . Classifying the polarity of a given text as positive or negative is the basic task of sentiment analysis. Moreover Due to its many aspects it is often referred to with different names such as opinion mining, sentiment classification, sentiment analysis, and sentiment extraction.

Sentiment analysis

Sentiment analysis is domain specific; therefore the polarity of some terms depends on the context in which they are used. For example, while “small” for “size” as a feature in the electronic products is positive, in agricultural products such as fruit it has a negative polarity. Sentiment analysis is used in different domains such as shopping, entertainment, politics, education, marketing, research and development. This project focuses on sentiment classification in social domains.

.

This project uses opinion mining methodology in order to achieve desired functionality. Similarly the Opinion Mining for Social Networking Site is a web application. However Here the user will post his views related to some subject other users will view this post and will comment on this post. The System takes comments of various users, based on the opinion, system will specify whether the posted topic is good, bad, or worst. Moreover User can change his own profile picture and can update his status. These changes can be viewed by various users. Muchmore We use a database of sentiment based keywords along with positivity or negativity weight in database and then based on these sentiment keywords mined in user comment is ranked.

.

Once the user logins to the system, user can view his own status as well as he can view the topics posted by other users. When the user clicks on a particular topic user can give his own comment about the topic. However System will use database and will match the comment with the keywords in database and will rank the topic. Similarly User can edit his own profile and can change his profile picture. The role of the admin is to add post and adds keywords in database. Moreover This application can be used by users who like to post view about some events that is already held, or can post about the events that is going to be held.

Functional Requirements:

• User can easily share his view about any subject.
• Users can easily decide whether the posted topic is good or bad by using this application.
• System ranks the topic based on the keywords in database.
