Abstract: The digital library is the widely accepted term describing the use of digital technologies to acquire, store, preserve and provide access to information and material originally published in digital form or digitised from existing print, audio-visual and other forms. Today most institutions are providers of technology-based services and are often involved in the production of systems supporting their initiatives. When aiming to satisfy user needs and guarantee acceptable tools and environment for consuming the assets of institutions, it is necessary to be familiar with the main standards and guidelines regulating usability. In this paper the authors highlighted the methods, forms, and issues of digital library usability. Usability should not be confused with ‘functionality’, however, as this is purely concerned with the functions and features of the product and has no bearing on whether users are able to use them or not. Increased functionality does not mean improved usability. Comparable to any other system, a digital library must possess usability properties so it can be usable by the digital library’s users. Digital library usability properties can influence usability attributes and allow users to easily and effectively accomplish digital library tasks.

Abstract: Correlated The discovery of association rules is an important problem in data mining. It is a two-step process consisting of finding the frequent itemsets and generating association rules from them. Most of the research attention is focused on efficient methods of finding frequent itemsets because it is computationally the most expensive step. This paper presents a new data structure and a more efficient algorithm for mining frequent itemsets from typical data sets. The improvement is achieved by scanning the database just once and by reducing item traversals within transactions. The performance comparisons of the algorithm against the fastest Apriori implementation and the recently developed H-Mine algorithm are given here. These results show that the algorithm outperforms both Apriori and H-mine on several widely used test data sets. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1536 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Correlated pattern mining has become increasingly important recently as an alternative or an augmentation of association rule mining. Though correlated pattern mining discloses the correlation relationships among data objects and reduces significantly the number of patterns produced by the association mining, it still generates quite a large number of patterns. This paper proposes closed correlated pattern mining to reduce the number of the correlated patterns produced without information loss. A new notion of the confidenceclosed correlated patterns is proposed first, and then an efficient algorithm is present, called CCMine, for mining those patterns. Confidence closed pattern mining reduces the number of patterns by at least an order of magnitude. It also shows that CCMine outperforms a simple method making use of the traditional closed pattern miner. Confidence-closed pattern mining is a valuable approach to condensing correlated patterns.

Abstract: While English has predominantly maintained its lead both as the lingua franca of the Internet and also for basic man-machine interactions, the need of the day is a system that can cater to the native by facilitating such communication in the language he is most comfortable. This calls for the realization of Multilingual Systems that can present the same information in a variety of languages. The term Multilingual Computing in the present context refers to systems that are capable of running programs that accept, process and present data in more than one natural language. The concerned language for interacting with the computer may be selected at the time of invocation or use of the program. Such multilingual systems do not fully overcome the man machine barrier. The user still has to comprehend and react to the cryptic messages presented in the language of his choice. The problem can be overcome only by the use of natural language processing systems that can translate user commands and queries in his native language to machine level commands, facilitate execution and present the results in a manner that is very akin to the responses of a human being. This paper discusses the basic issues in the formulation of such multilingual systems. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/492 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Indic Language Computing can be fully realized only through embedding vernacular scripts in operating systems. With the advent of OTF (Open Type Font) embedding local scripts in OS compliant with Unicode has become a reality taking computing beyond word processing. Microsoft has already come to this field strongly by embedding Devanagari in MS Windows. Compared to the closedness of Microsoft OS, free and open environment of Linux is ideal for the early accomplishment of multilingual computing. This paper describes initiatives of Rachana team in embedding Malayalam script in GNU/Linux operating system. Modules are added for KDE with its rendering engine QT so that the original exhaustive character set of Malayalam developed by Rachana is embedded fully in compliance with Unicode. For the first time, prospects are open to create DBMS and information systems using Malayalam script. Computing in Malayalam language is being initiated in the true sense only now. The procedures set up by Rachana-GNU/Linux is highly beneficial to the goals of INFLIBNET in fulfilling a total integrated bibliographic control of Indian literature in their native scripts.

Abstract: With a network communication requires cryptography authentication for secure transmission. This paper takes two challenge-response protocols by which entities may authenticate their identities to one another in a mutual communication way. Here the two entities, each holding a share of a decryption exponent, collaborate to compute a signature under the corresponding public key. These may be used during session initiation, and at any other time that entity authentication is necessary. The authentication of an entity depends on the verification of the claimant’s binding with its key pair and the verification of the claimant’s digital signature on the random number challenge. The network defined mutually authenticated protocols are for entity authentication based on public key cryptography, which uses digital signatures and random number challenges. Authentication based on public key cryptography has an advantage over many other authentication schemes because no secret information has to be shared by the entities involved in the exchange. This paper analyzes the protocols, which minimizes cost, very simple and suggests security for mutually signing the signature schemes and provides proofs of security for the safer communication. This paper specifies the way of mutual communication and the method of processing that conversation between entities. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1544 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The UniFrame approach to component-based software development assumes that concrete components are developed from a meta-model, called the Unified Meta- component Model, according to standardized business domain models. Implicit in this development is that there is a Platform Independent Model (PIM) which is transformed into a Platform Specific Model (PSM) under the principles of Model-Driven Architecture. This paper advocates natural language as the starting point for developing the business domain models and the meta-model and shows how this natural language may be mapped through the PIM to PSM using a formal system of rules expressed in Two-Level Grammar. This allows software requirements to be progressed from business logic to implementation of components and provides sufficient automation that components may be modified at the model level, or even the natural language requirements level, as opposed to the code level.

Abstract: We are living in a society dominated by information technology and in an era of information where huge amount of Information can be speedily processed and saved on easily accessible media. Information plays a really important part in decision making in an organization. For an organization a wrong decision can lead to drastic result. This is on reason why information is steadily acquiring a more central role in business. In the world of today information is becoming increasing important. Generally speaking the standard of information security has not kept pace with this development. For example, information that before was saved on a large amount of paper and physically difficult to steal can today be saved on a disk that can easily remove. In this article author has discussed, what information security is. Why it is needed in an organization of 21 century. The CIA Relationship of information security is discussed with diagram. The information security chain has twelve modules and eighty sub modules. The overview of information security cannot be complete in such small paper; therefore author delimits herself to the most prominent module computer security. In the last future and conclusion of information security are highlighted. Information Security of IIT Kanpur system is also consulted in some of the modules. The paper is of particular value for newcomers in this area. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1011 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Digital conversion of Library materials has advanced rapidly in past few years. Digitization is one of the hot topics in librarianship today. To build a “Digital Library” requires that the content of a collection be available electronically. The rhetoric of the information highway has provided the impetus to convert many existing paper-based (or sound and video) collections into new digital media. Digitization of all categories of materials is now possible with the advances in digital technology. The assumption is that digital collections will be more accessible to a broader range of users, presumable through networking technologies, and that there are new efficiencies to be gained in resource-sharing and for preservation. The topic discuss the concept of Digital library, Component, Technology, Functions and Supporting Format of Digital Library. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1395 Files in this item: 1
