...Optimization of biometric Fingerprint Recognition parameters using Genetic Algorithms Report submitted for CPSC - 6126 Fall 2014 Term Paper By Krishna Sindhuri Nagavolu 13th December, 2014 Optimization of biometric fingerprint recognition parameters using Genetic Algorithms Abstract This research paper discusses about parameter optimization for biometric fingerprint recognition with the use of genetic algorithms. An accurate access control system is very important in domains like identification checks at airports, government organizations, FBI’s, scientific working groups like NASA, US defense department and driver’s license office. The main reason these organizations prefer Biometrics is because it measures physiological characteristics like fingerprints, iris patterns, facial recognition, retina recognition, ear recognition and DNA analysis. Based on the features of the biometric sensors used, the system can detect whether a person is an authorized user or not. Though there are many other methods for identification, biometric sensors are considered to be very reliable and accurate. The main objective of this paper is to build a fingerprint recognizer that is fully automatic and can minimize the errors caused while matching the fingerprints. Keywords: Biometrics, genetic algorithms, Parameter optimization, fingerprints 2|Page Optimization ...

...Expert system for the definition of the cutting parameters and machining strategies 1 L.Zaquini1, J.Charpy1, J-P. Bendit2, T.Voumard3, P-E Mathez3, L. Béguelin3 HE-ARC-Ingénierie LMO (Laboratoire de Machines-Outils), University of Applied Science, Le Locle, Switzerland, 2 Jurasoft SA, Porrentruy, Switzerland, 3 Haute Ecole ARC – Software Engineering, University of Applied Science, St-Imier, Switzerland, Switzerland, Abstract The definition of the cutting parameters (Vc, fz, ae, ap), and the definition of the machining strategies or the strategies to engage the tool in the material and to start the cutting process, are usually requested by the CAM systems as input information. These data are usually strongly influenced by the consolidated experience of the operators, by the specific previous similar machining cases and by several other factors depending on the machining practices. In a project, financed by the Swiss national organization for the industrial research, the authors have developed an expert system (ES) in order to get this information through software processes. The paper shows the structure of this expert system. The ES has been realized through the definition of ontology of components and elements of the machining. The ES includes a very large data base of cutting parameters, and is based on the establishment of rules for the competition between the machining strategies. The ES includes learning methods which are able to identify similar operations. The learning...

Successful supply chain management requires a change from managing individual functions to integrating activities into key supply chain process; hence, accurate information is of essence. One of the key factors that can adversely affect effective and efficient supply chain process is information distortion. Demand forecasting and ordering policies have been recognized as two key causes of bullwhip effect in supply chain management. This study explored the simulation approach in quantifying the effect of bullwhip in supply chain, using various forecasting methods. ____________________________________________________________ ______________________________ Keywords: information distortion, supply chain, simulation, quantifying bullwhip effect, forecasting methods _________...

...software that makes our lives so much easier and an interface is a common boundary shared by two applications or programs that allow both to communicate with one another. An application-programming interface (API) is a set of programming instructions and standards for accessing a Web-based software application or Web tool. A software company releases its API to the public so that other software developers can design products that are powered by its service. An API is a software-to-software interface, not a user interface. With APIs, applications talk to each other without any user knowledge or intervention. When you buy mobile phone online and enter your credit card information, the mobile phone Web site uses an API to send your credit card information to a remote application that verifies whether your information is correct. Once payment is confirmed, the remote application sends a response back to the mobile phone Web site saying it's OK to issue the phone. Users only see one interface -- the mobile phone Web site but behind the scenes, many applications are working together using APIs. This type of integration is called seamless, since the user never notices when software functions are handed from one application to another. In technical perspective API is a specification written by providers of a service that programmers must follow when using that service It describes what functionality are available, how they must be used and in what format they will accept an input or...
