| Abstract |
Read more…Energy must be significantly conserved in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) by employing energy models. Majority of the energy models address only the hidden terminal issue, but result in higher power consumption due to increased collisions during packet transfer. The proposed energy model for MANET involves an Energy-efficient Optimized Link State Routing (EE-OLSR) protocol and a path maintenance scheme. The EE-OLSR energy model is based on a progressive search for the most energy-efficient path. This model reduces the routing overhead and path setup delay, and enhances the network lifetime. The existing energy models for MANET are based on OLSR protocol and DE (Differential Evolution) – OLSR protocol with features like QoS (Quality of Service) optimization, accuracy of energy states, distributed clustering, and energy-efficient clustering. The survey analysis involves the comparison of the proposed EE-OLSR model with the existing energy models. The EE-OLSR model consumes lesser energy compared to the existing energy models, with respect to nodal speed, packet size, average connection arrival rate, number of nodes, grid size and packet inter-arrival time. |

| Title | Modeling and Quantifying the Security Attribute Confidentiality at Design Stage – An OO Software Perspective – |
| Paper ID | k6cvF |
| Keywords | Software security, Security attributes, Security quantification, Object-oriented. |
| Abstract |
Read more…Software having vulnerabilities may cause information loss and damages. The traditional software development process is not capable enough to minimize vulnerabilities that attackers exploit. Vulnerabilities and loopholes act as a disease in a software system, they replicate itself and they may damage the other connected systems. In order to make a secure software system or to minimize the impact of these loopholes it is required to scrutinize software architecture. The focus of the research work is to quantify security by scrutinizing software architecture and available design information. A methodology has been proposed to quantify confidentiality security attribute. As an outcome of the methodology two security metrics and a state transition model has been derived and implemented using several class diagrams. Statistical significance has been given by using other similar projects. |

| Title | Effect of the calibration process on the accuracy of flood projection in hydrological models |
| Paper ID | xlqbl/NA |
| Keywords | flood wave, calibrating, elasticity, modeling, rainfall |
| Abstract |
Read more…The paper compared the results of automatic calibration of two hydrological models based on Snyder’s and Clark’s synthetic unit hydrographs. Optimal values of model parameters were determined by the objective functions: percentage error in peak flow (PEPF), percentage error in volume (PEV), peak-weighted root mean square error (PWRMSE), sum of absolute residuals (SAR) and sum of squared residuals (SSR). The last part of the analysis was to assess the flexibility of both studied models. The research was performed in the upland watershed of Grabinka – left tributary of the Wis?oka river located in Southern Poland. The analysis revealed that the smallest differences between the maximum flow in the observed and calculated flood culmination were obtained when applying PWRMSE function. It wasalso indicated, that efficiency of Clark’s model in describing the analyzed floods was somewhat better than of Snyder\ |

| Title | ECOLOGY AND ENGINEERING WORKS IN THE ODRA BORDER REACH MEANDERS AREA IN VIEW OF THE DYNAMIC FLUVIAL PROCESSES |
| Paper ID | vfgcp |
| Keywords | the Odra River, Polish-Czech meanders, biodiversity, fluvial processes |
| Abstract |
Read more…As a result of the many floods which occurred over the years 1903-2010 in the drainage basin of the Upper Odra, several changes were observed in the meandering river channel. In 1966 and 1997 the high stages, velocities and flow rates caused the waters to break through the banks of two meanders on the Polish-Czech border in the vicinity of Chałupki (Poland) and Bohumin (Czech Republic). New distributaries were thus created. River erosion combined with the settling and sedimentation of deposits contributed to silting up of the original meanders, cutting them off and forming two oxbow lakes. In 2008 the site was acknowledged to be unique because of the presence of rare natural habitats and fauna and flora species. Consequently, it was entered into the Natura 2000 network. After the floods in 1997 and 2010 the valley of the meandering Odra underwent further morphological changes. Since that time the quality of both water and sediments has been gradually improving. All these elements make the site increasingly attractive in terms of its landscape and natural values. The river reach on the Polish-Czech border is unique not only in Poland, but also in Europe. The dynamic fluvial processes occurring in the Odra meanders area and the fact that these meanders constitute an important link between the deforested valleys of Ostrava (Czech Republic) and Racibórz (Poland) predispose the site to become a reference for similar rivers. |

| Title | A Novel Approach for Information security in ad hoc networks through Secure Key Management |
| Paper ID | ybWBB |
| Keywords | Security, key generation, key distribution, ad hoc networks, public key cryptography. |
| Abstract |
Read more…Ad hoc networks provide flexible and adaptive networks with no fixed infrastructure and dynamic topology. Owe to the vulnerability nature of ad hoc network, there are lots of security threats that diminish the development of ad hoc networks. Therefore, to provide security for information of users and to preserve their privacy, it becomes mandatory to use cryptographic techniques to set up secure mobile ad hoc network. Earlier cryptographic method based on computational complexity ruins with the advent of fast computing computers. In this proposal, we proposed Secure Key Management (SKM) framework. We make use of McEliece algorithm embedded with Dispense Key designed for key generation and for the key distribution, and it is highly scalable with respect to memory. The experimental result shows that our framework provides a high-performance platform to execute key generation, key distribution scenarios. SKM framework reduces execution time of encryption and decryption by minimizing the number of keys. |
