AMS comes in four types. These are Manual, Biometric, Card-based or E-Commerce systems. This paper presents the implementation of an AMS that is based on Bluetooth and NFC technologies in a multi-user environment. It uses fingerprint and the Bluetooth address of the NFC-enabled phone of the user to authenticate the identity of the user. A Java based desktop application receives the NFC tag IDs, other information associated with the mobile phone and the user and submits them to an analyser for the interpretation of the user’s behaviour. Key Terms: - Attendance Management System, Authentication, Biometric, Bluetooth, Mobile Phone, NFC. I. INTRODUCTION Attendance Management System (AMS) is the easiest way to keep track of attendance for community organizations such as school clubs, scouting units, church groups, business...

...Intelligent Energy Management System Mayur D. Karathia1, Jignesh G. Bhatt2, and Himanshu G. Bhavsar3 Abstract—Saving electricity in industries and building is major concern today. Hence, Energy Management System (EMS) remained preferred area for researchers recently. The paper reports the work carried out at PG dissertation level and presents the detailed design and implementation of industrial grade EMS. Sensors and MODBUS-compliant modules are wired to form an RS-485 network at field level, which is connected to a PC based main controller. The proposed system online monitors and records the data of energy consumption, helps to understand energy consumption patterns and enhance energy efficiency and reliability of the system. Offline data based diagnosis helps to plan preventive actions to save electricity and further optimize overall system. Various functionalities of the proposed system have been validated through laboratory implementation. Index Terms—Automation, Human–Machine Interface Design, MODBUS, RS-485, Virtual Instrumentation II. EMS SUBSYSTEMS The EMS can be split into various subsystems[1][2] according to the basic functionalities implemented by it as mentioned below: A. Measurement Subsystem This subsystem handles routine tasks such as measurement, display, logging, updating and availing of data as and when necessary. These operations include acquiring energy data from remote energy meters and displaying the same data using Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs)...

What we do is we sell one Guide billions and billions of times. We exploit the multidimensional nature of the Universe to cut down on manufacturing costs. And we don’t sell to penniless hitchhikers. What a stupid notion that was! Find the one section of the market that, more or less by definition, doesn’t have any money, and try to sell to it. No. We sell to the affluent business traveler and his vacationing wife in a billion, billion different futures. This is the most radical, dynamic and thrusting business venture in the entire multidimensional infinity of space-time-probability ever.” ... Ford was completely at a loss for what to do next. “Look,” he said in a stern voice. But he wasn’t certain how far saying things like “Look” in a stern voice was necessarily going to get him, and time was not on his side. What the hell, he thought, you’re only young once, and threw himself out of the window. That would at least keep the element of surprise on his side. ... In a spirit of scientific inquiry he hurled himself out of the window again. Douglas Adams Mostly Harmless Strangely, the thing that least intrigued me was how they’d managed to get it all done. I suppose I sort of knew. If I’d learned...

...Committee: Hesham El Gamal, Adviser C. Emre K¨ksal o Ness B. Shroff Atilla Eryılmaz c Copyright by Onur Ozan K¨yl¨ o˘lu o u g 2010 ABSTRACT We are in the midst of wireless revolution, and increasing demand continues for wireless applications. This explosive growth, of wireless communications and services, inevitably renders security into a challenging quality of service constraint that must be accounted for in the network design. The state of the art methods in combating the security threats are usually founded on cryptographic approaches. These techniques typically assume limited computational resources at adversaries, are usually derived from unproven assumptions, and most of the time do not offer a measurable security notion. Information theoretic security, on the other hand, eliminates the aforementioned limitations of the cryptographic techniques at the physical layer of communication systems. In this thesis, we concentrate on both the theoretical and the practical aspects of physical layer security. We first start by analyzing elemental interference networks, in particular, two-user channels with an adversary. The problem here is to characterize the fundamental limits on secure transmission rates. Towards this end, we devise coding schemes, forming inner bounds to the capacity region, and compare the achievable rates with outer bounds. This analysis is useful to explore microscopic gains that can be leveraged by the different coding schemes, and our analysis shows that the...

The team paper for week five included the rationale the team used for choosing the target country. The team also had to determine the marketing mix that was specific to the selected global product and give an explanation why this mix was chosen. A marketing plan was prepared that addressed product modification, pricing, promotional programs, distribution channels, and e-business in the chosen country. The paper will include market indicators and trends for the product. A financial overview for the global venture will be given, which includes a chart for the general budget and an explanation of how the company will deal with the foreign exchange risk. The company will have to identify potential domestic and international sources for funding the venture, and the team will identify two possible financial institutions within the chosen region.
