We envision an information-centric future Internet where the network is built around named pieces of data instead of explicitly addressable hosts. One clear way of implementing information-centric networking is using publish and subscribe (pub/sub) operations instead of the send and receive primitives. Internet-like pub/sub networking requires completely different routing protocols and forwardi...

A student-centric research education program with the active participation of undergraduate students is initiated. The aim is to imbibe ―responsible citizenship behavior‖ in them so that each member becomes conscious and well trained to take up environmental-related issues and challenges for long-term sustainability of the ecosystem. In this work, we report spectrophotometer-based estimation of...

In the third sentence of the first paragraph of sub-subsection “Query-Centric Auto-k-NearestNeighbor (QCauto) Method”, within the Materials and Methods section, the variable of expression is incorrect. The correct sentence should read: A BLAST-search of reference sequences similar to the query was then performed, and subsequently, all the neighborhood sequences (Ns) whose distance to the query ...

The growth of Big Data has seen the increasing prevalence of interconnected graph datasets that reflect the variety and complexity of emerging data sources. Recent distributed graph processing platforms offer vertex-centric and subgraphcentric abstractions to compose and execute graph analytics on commodity clusters and Clouds. Näıve translation of existing graph algorithms to these programming...

Manual annotation of ego-centric visual media for lifelogging, activity monitoring, object counting, etc. is challenging due to the repetitive nature of the images especially for events such as driving, eating, meeting, watching television, etc. where there is no change in scenery. This makes the annotation task boring and there is danger of missing things through loss of concentration. This is...

Most of the international boundaries in Africa were delimited in the last quarter of the 19 century. The adoption of the “Uttis possedis” principle of boundary maintenance by African states in 1963 solidified the boundary regimes. The state-centric policies in border management result in further conflicts, wars and litigation depriving of cross-border cooperation. Though attempts at economic co...

Recent technological advances have enabled the creation of networks of sensor devices. These devices are typically equipped with basic computational and communication capabilities. Systems based on these devices can deduce high-level, meaningful information about the environment that may be useful to applications. Due to their scale, distributed nature, and the limited resources available to se...
