The document discusses using handwritten signature verification as an additional security measure for computer systems. It notes that signature verification must be cheap, reliable, and unobtrusive. It explains that online signature verification analyzes dynamic features of signing, like speed and pressure, which presents challenges in differentiating consistent versus varying behavioral elements of a person's signature over time. The document outlines the signature acquisition and identification process using global features and training models, and notes the benefits of low error rates, ability to detect forgery even with copied signatures, fast training, and cheap storage requirements.
Human face detection and recognition is an important technology used in various applications such as video monitor system. Traditional method for taking attendance is Roll Number of student and record the attendance in sheet which takes a lot of time. Because of that systems like automatic attendance is used. To overcome the problems like wastage of time, incorrect attendance, the proposed system gives a method like when he enters the class room , system marks the attendance by extracting the image using Principal Component Analysis algorithm. The system will record the attendance of the student automatically. The student database is collected, it includes name of the students, there images and roll number. It carries an entry in log report of every student of each subject and generates a pdf report of the attendance of the student.

This document discusses developing an online book catalogue system for a university bookstore. It aims to facilitate information sharing about textbooks between students, lecturers and the bookstore. Currently, the bookstore only has an internal system and students/lecturers must visit physically to view book information.
The project involved researching the current textbook purchasing and review processes. Questionnaires were distributed to students and lecturers to gather requirements. A prototype online book catalogue system was developed based on the research. It allows accessing textbook lists and reviews online without visiting the store. User testing found students and lecturers were interested and felt it could be useful to implement at the university.
The Internet began as an experiment by the U.S. Department of Defense in the 1960s called ARPANET to create a network that would continue functioning even if parts failed. It later connected academic and research institutions and led to today's global Internet. The World Wide Web was developed in 1990 at CERN by Tim Berners-Lee and is now managed by the World Wide Web Consortium to promote open web standards. IP addresses identify devices on the Internet, with IPv4 being the current standard but running out of available addresses, leading to the development of IPv6 with a vastly larger number of possible addresses.

Hybrid Cloud is nowadays implemented by many organisations and transitioning a traditional IT setup to a hybrid cloud model is no small undertaking. So, one should know about it and how it is implemented.
Signature verification Using SIFT FeaturesAshikur Rahman
This document presents research on offline signature verification using local keypoint features. It discusses existing challenges in offline signature verification like different signature orientations and image noise. The objective is to develop a robust method for offline signature verification that can handle noise, orientation variations, and different writing styles. The proposed method uses Harris corner detection to extract keypoints, and creates a 128-bin feature descriptor for each keypoint. Keypoint matching and classification using KNN is then used to verify signatures. Future work includes implementing the proposed method and improving its robustness to rotations, noise, and ink variations with minimal complexity.

What is Cloud Computing
virtualization
Cloud Networking
Cloud networking (and Cloud based networking) is a term describing the access of networking resources from a centralized third-party provider using Wide Area Networking (WAN) or Internet-based access technologies.
Cloud networking is related the concept of cloud computing, in which centralized computing resources are shared for customers or clients. In cloud networking, the network can be shared as well as the computing resources. It has spurred a trend of pushing more network management functions into the cloud, so that fewer customer devices are needed to manage the network.
The document discusses cloud resource management and cloud computing architecture. It covers the following key points in 3 sentences:
Cloud architecture can be broadly divided into the front end, which consists of interfaces and applications for accessing cloud platforms, and the back end, which comprises resources for providing cloud services like storage, virtual machines, and security mechanisms. Common cloud service models include infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS). Virtualization techniques allow for the sharing of physical resources among multiple organizations by assigning logical names to physical resources and providing pointers to access them.
The document discusses various technologies used in information technology. It describes mainframes, AS/400 systems, portal servers, content management systems, application servers, middleware, databases, data warehousing/business intelligence, data science, ERP systems, CRM tools, client/server architecture, .NET, Java, Oracle, SQL, telecommunications, embedded systems, and operating systems. It provides examples of tools used within each technology area.

This document discusses distributed software engineering. It covers topics like distributed systems issues, client-server computing, and architectural patterns for distributed systems. Distributed systems engineering deals with systems where components are located on different computers within a network. Distributed systems have characteristics like openness, scalability, concurrency, and transparency. Client-server computing is based on distributing functions between server and client processors. Common architectural patterns include master-slave, two-tier client-server, multitier client-server, distributed component, and peer-to-peer architectures. The document also discusses software as a service (SaaS) and its multitenant architecture, easy customization, and relationship to service-oriented architecture.
The document provides information on client-server technology and architecture. It discusses:
1) Client-server computing partitions tasks between service providers (servers) and service requesters (clients), with clients initiating communication sessions with servers.
2) Common examples of client-server models include web browsing, email, and database access.
3) The OSI 7-layer model is described, with an overview of the functions of each layer from the physical layer to the session layer.
Cloud computing is a model for delivering computing capabilities as services over the network on an as-needed basis. It involves centrally hosted resources that are accessible via the internet. There are various deployment models including public, private, community and hybrid clouds. Resources are delivered through common models of software as a service, platform as a service, and infrastructure as a service. Key attributes include massive infrastructure, utility computing, pay-per-usage, elasticity, and accessibility via the internet.
