Histogram Equalization is a simple and effective contrast enhancement technique. In spite of its popularity
Histogram Equalization still have some limitations –produces artifacts, unnatural images and the local
details are not considered, therefore due to these limitations many other Equalization techniques have been
derived from it with some up gradation. In this proposed method statistics play an important role in image
processing, where statistical operations is applied to the image to get the desired result such as
manipulation of brightness and contrast. Thus, a novel algorithm using statistical operations and
neighborhood processing has been proposed in this paper where the algorithm has proven to be effective in
contrast enhancement based on the theory and experiment.
In this project we have implemented a tool to inpaint selected regions from an image. Inpainting refers to the art of restoring lost parts of image and reconstructing them based on the background information. The tool provides a user interface wherein the user can open an image for inpainting, select the parts
of the image that he wants to reconstruct. The tool would then automatically inpaint the selected area according to the background information. The image can
then be saved. The inpainting in based on the exemplar based approach. The basic aim of this approach is to find examples (i.e. patches) from the image and
replace the lost data with it. Applications of this technique include the restoration of old photographs and damaged film; removal of superimposed text like
dates, subtitles etc.; and the removal of entire objects from the image like microphones or wires in special effects.
Image enhancement technique plays vital role in improving the quality of the image. Enhancement

With the large use of images for the communication, image zooming plays an important role.
Image zooming is the process of enlarging the image with some factor of magnification, where
the factor can be integer or non-integer. Applying zooming algorithm to an image generally results
in aliasing; edge blurring and other artifacts. The main focus of the work presented in this paper is
on the reduction of these artifacts. This paper focuses on reduction of these artifacts and
presents an image zooming algorithm using non-linear fourth order PDE method combined with
edge directed bi-cubic algorithm. The proposed method uses high resolution image obtained from
edge directed bi-cubic interpolation algorithm to construct the zoomed image. This technique
preserves edges and minimizes blurring and staircase effects in the zoomed image. In order to
evaluate image quality obtained after zooming, the objective assessment is performed.

Image Contrast Enhancement for Brightness Preservation Based on Dynamic Stret...CSCJournals
Histogram equalization is an efficient process often employed in consumer electronic systems for image contrast enhancement. In addition to an increase in contrast, it is also required to preserve the mean brightness of an image in order to convey the true scene information to the viewer. A conventional approach is to separate the image into sub-images and then process independently by histogram equalization towards a modified profile. However, due to the variations in image contents, the histogram separation threshold greatly influences the level of shift in mean brightness with respect to the uniform histogram in the equalization process. Therefore, the choice of a proper threshold, to separate the input image into sub-images, is very critical in order to preserve the mean brightness of the output image. In this research work, a dynamic range stretching approach is adopted to reduce the shift in output image mean brightness. Moreover, the computationally efficient golden section search algorithm is applied to obtain a proper separation into sub-images to preserve the mean brightness. Experiments were carried out on a large number of color images of natural scenes. Results, as compared to current available approaches, showed that the proposed method performed satisfactorily in terms of mean brightness preservation and enhancement in image contrast.

MODIFIED HISTOGRAM EQUALIZATION FOR IMAGE CONTRAST ENHANCEMENT USING PARTICLE...ijcseit
A novel Modified Histogram Equalization (MHE) technique for contrast enhancement is proposed in this
paper. This technique modifies the probability density function of an image by introducing constraints prior
to the process of histogram equalization (HE). These constraints are formulated using two parameters
which are optimized using swarm intelligence. This technique of contrast enhancement takes control over
the effect of HE so that it enhances the image without causing any loss to its details. A median adjustment
factor is then added to the result to normalize the change in the luminance level after enhancement. This
factor suppresses the effect of luminance change due to the presence of outlier pixels. The outlier pixels of
highly deviated intensities have greater impact in changing the contrast of an image. This approach
provides a convenient and effective way to control the enhancement process, while being adaptive to
various types of images. Experimental results show that the proposed technique gives better results in
terms of Discrete Entropy and SSIM values than the existing histogram-based equalization methods.

Histogram equalization is an uncomplicated and extensively used image distinction enhancement technique. The crucial drawback of histogram equalization is it transforms the brightness of the image. To overcome this drawback, different histogram Equalization methods have been projected. These methods protect the brightness on the result image but, do not have a usual look. Therefore this paper is an attempt to bridge the gap and results after the processed Associate regions are collected into one image. The mock-up result explains that the algorithm can not only improve image information successfully but also remain the imaginative image luminance well enough to make it likely to be used in video arrangement directly.
Inpainting refers to the art of restoring lost parts of image and reconstructing them based on the background information i.e Image inpainting is the process of reconstructing lost or deteriorated parts of images using information from surrounding areas. In fine art museums, inpainting of degraded paintings is traditionally carried out by professional artists and usually very time consuming.The purpose of inpainting is to reconstruct missing regions in a visually plausible manner so that it seems reasonable to the human eye. There have been several approaches proposed for the same.
This paper gives an overview of different Techniques of Image Inpainting.The proposed work includes the overview of PDE based inpainting algorithm and Texture synthesis based inpainting algorithm.

An Inclusive Analysis on Various Image Enhancement TechniquesIJMER
Digital Image enhancement is the process of adjusting digital images so that the results are
more suitable for display or further image analysis. It provides a multitude of choices for improving the
visual quality of images or to provide a “better transform representation for future automated image
processing. The enhancement technique differs from one field to another field. The existing techniques
of image enhancement can be classified into two categories: Spatial Domain and Frequency domain
enhancement. Many images like satellite images, medical images, aerial images and even real life
photographs suffer from poor contrast and noise. It improves the quality (clarity) of images for human
viewing by eradicating blurs, noise, increasing contrast, and revealing image details.

Enhancement of Medical Images using Histogram Based Hybrid TechniqueINFOGAIN PUBLICATION
Digital Image Processing is very important area of research. A number of techniques are available for image enhancement of gray scale images as well as color images. They work very efficiently for enhancement of the gray scale as well as color images. Important techniques namely Histogram Equalization, BBHE, RSWHE, RSWHE (recursion=2, gamma=No), AGCWD (Recursion=0, gamma=0) have been used quite frequently for image enhancement. But there are some shortcomings of the present techniques. The major shortcoming is that while enhancement, the brightness of the image deteriorates quite a lot. So there was need for some technique for image enhancement so that while enhancement was done, the brightness of the images does not go down. To remove this shortcoming, a new hybrid technique namely RESWHE+AGCWD (recursion=2, gamma=0 or 1) was proposed. The results of the proposed technique were compared with the existing techniques. In the present methodology, the brightness did not decrease during image enhancement. So the results and the technique was validated and accepted. The parameters via PSNR, MSE, AMBE etc. are taken for performance evaluation and validation of the proposed technique against the existing techniques which results in better outperform.

Histogram Equalization with Range Offset for Brightness Preserved Image Enhan...CSCJournals
In this paper, a simple modification to Global Histogram Equalization (GHE), a well known digital image enhancement method, has been proposed. This proposed method known as Histogram Equalization with Range Offset (HERO) is divided into two stages. In its first stage, an intensity mapping function is constructed by using the cumulative density function of the input image, similar to GHE. Then, during the second stage, an offset for the intensity mapping function will be determined to maintain the mean brightness of the image, which is a crucial criterion for digital image enhancement in consumer electronic products. Comparison with some of the current histogram equalization based enhancement methods shows that HERO successfully preserves the mean brightness and give good enhancement to the image.
Image enhancement is one of the challenging issues in image processing. The objective of Image enhancement is to process an image so that result is more suitable than original image for specific application. Digital image enhancement techniques provide a lot of choices for improving the visual quality of images. Appropriate choice of such techniques is very important. This paper will provide an overview and analysis of different techniques commonly used for image enhancement. Image enhancement plays a fundamental role in vision applications. Recently much work is completed in the field of images enhancement. Many techniques have previously been proposed up to now for enhancing the digital images. In this paper, a survey on various image enhancement techniques has been done.

Histogram Equalization (HE) has been an essential addition to the Image Enhancement world.
Enhancement techniques like Classical Histogram Equalization(CHE),Adaptive Histogram Equalization

methods enhance contrast, brightness is not well preserved, which gives an unpleasant look to the final
image obtained. Thus, we introduce a novel technique Multi-Decomposition Histogram Equalization
(MDHE) to eliminate the drawbacks of the earlier methods. In MDHE, we have decomposed the input
image using a unique logic, applied CHE in each of the sub-images and then finally interpolated them in
correct order. The final image after MDHE gives us the best results based on contrast enhancement and
brightness preservation aspect compared to all other techniques mentioned above. We have calculated the
various parameters like PSNR, SNR, RMSE, MSE, etc. for every technique. Our results are well supported
by bar graphs, histograms and the parameter calculations at the end.
Image Enhancement using Guided Filter for under Exposed ImagesDr. Amarjeet Singh
Image enhancement becomes an important step to
improve the quality of image and change in the appearance of
the image in such a way that either a human or a machine can
fetch certain information from the image after a change. Due
to low contrast images it becomes very difficult to get any
information out of it. In today’s digital world of imaging
image enhancement is a very useful in various applications
ranging from electronics printing to recognition. For highly
underexposed region, intensity bin are present in darken
region that’s by such images lacks in saturation and suffers
from low intensity. Power law transformation provides
solution to this problem. It enhances the brightness so as
image at least becomes visible. To modify the intensity level
histogram equalization can be used. In this we can apply
cumulative density function and probabilistic density function
so as to divide the image into sub images.
In proposed approach to provide betterment in
results guided filter has been applied to images after
equalization so that we can get better Entropy rate and
Coefficient of correlation can be improved with previously
available techniques. The guided filter is derived from local
linear model. The guided filter computes the filtering output
by considering the content of guidance image, which can be
the image itself or other targeted image.

The quality of image holds importance for both humans and machines. To fulfill the requirement of good quality images, image enhancement is needed. Application of a single contrast enhancement technique often does not produce desirable result and may lead to over enhanced images. To overcome this problem image fusion is performed so that better results with desired enhancement can be achieved. In the present paper an amalgamation of image enhancement, fusion and sharpening have been carried out in the candidate algorithm. The algorithm makes use of fuzzy logic for weight calculation. The results are compared with DACE/LIF approach and it is observed that the proposed algorithm improves the result in terms of quality parameters like PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio), AMBE (Absolute Mean Brightness Error) and SSIM (Structural Similarity Index) by 0.5 dB, 3 and 0.1 respectively from the existing technique.

Modified Contrast Enhancement using Laplacian and Gaussians Fusion Techniqueiosrjce
The aim of image fusion is to mix images of a scene captured below totally different illumination. One
image contains most of information from the whole supply images automatically. Contrast enhancement is employed
to enhance the standard of visible image with none introducing unrealistic visual appearances. Fusion technique is
employed for the important applications like medical imaging, microscopic imaging, remote sensing, and laptop
vision and robotics. Contrast enhancement improves the brightness differences within the dark, gray or bright regions
at the expense of the brightness differences within the alternative regions. During this paper methodology of the
contrast enhancement for images that improves the local image contrast by controlling the local image gradient. The
proposed methodology improves the improvement drawback and maximizes the local contrast and global contrast of
an image.
Image enhancement plays an important role in vision applications. Recently a lot of work has been performed in the field of image enhancement. Many techniques have already been proposed till now for enhancing the digital images. This paper has presented a comparative analysis of various image enhancement techniques. This paper has shown that the fuzzy logic and histogram based techniques have quite effective results over the available techniques. This paper ends up with suitable future directions to enhance fuzzy based image enhancement technique further. In the proposed technique, an approach is made to enhance the images other than low-contrast images as well by balancing the stretching parameter (K) according to the color contrast. Proposed technique is designed to restore the degraded edges resulted due to contrast enhancement as well.

Image enhancement is a method of improving the quality of an image and contrast is a major aspect. Traditional methods of contrast enhancement like histogram equalization results in over/under enhancement of the image especially a lower resolution one. This paper aims at developing a new Fuzzy Inference System to enhance the contrast of the low resolution images overcoming the shortcomings of the traditional methods. Results obtained using both the approaches are compared.
MR Image Compression Based on Selection of Mother Wavelet and Lifting Based W...ijma
Magnetic Resonance (MR) image is a medical image technique required enormous data to be stored and
transmitted for high quality diagnostic application. Various algorithms have been proposed to improve the
performance of the compression scheme. In this paper we extended the commonly used algorithms to image
compression and compared its performance. For an image compression technique, we have linked different
wavelet techniques using traditional mother wavelets and lifting based Cohen-Daubechies-Feauveau
wavelets with the low-pass filters of the length 9 and 7 (CDF 9/7) wavelet transform with Set Partition in
Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) algorithm. A novel image quality index with highlighting shape of histogram
of the image targeted is introduced to assess image compression quality. The index will be used in place of
existing traditional Universal Image Quality Index (UIQI) “in one go”. It offers extra information about
the distortion between an original image and a compressed image in comparisons with UIQI. The proposed
index is designed based on modelling image compression as combinations of four major factors: loss of
correlation, luminance distortion, contrast distortion and shape distortion. This index is easy to calculate
and applicable in various image processing applications. One of our contributions is to demonstrate the
choice of mother wavelet is very important for achieving superior wavelet compression performances based
on proposed image quality indexes. Experimental results show that the proposed image quality index plays
a significantly role in the quality evaluation of image compression on the open sources “BrainWeb:
Simulated Brain Database (SBD) ”.

Review on Image Enhancement in Spatial Domainidescitation
With the proliferation in electronic imaging devices
like in mobiles, computer vision, medical field and space field;
image enhancement field has become the quite interesting
and important area of research. These imaging devices are
viewed under a diverse range of viewing conditions and a huge
loss in contrast under bright outdoor viewing conditions; thus
viewing condition parameters such as surround effects,
correlated color temperature and ambient lighting have
become of significant importance. Therefore, Principle
objective of Image enhancement is to adjust the quality of an
image for better human visual perception. Appropriate choice
of enhancement techniques is greatly influenced by the
imaging modality, task at hand and viewing conditions.
Basically, image enhancement techniques have been classified
into two broad categories: Spatial domain image enhancement
and Frequency domain image enhancement. This survey report
gives an overview of different methodologies have been used
for enhancement under the spatial domain category. It is noted
that in this field still more research is to be done.

BROAD UNEXPOSED SKILLS OF TRANSGENDER ENTREPRENEURSIAEME Publication
Since ages gender difference is always a debatable theme whether caused by nature, evolution or environment. The birth of a transgender is dreadful not only for the child but also for their parents. The pain of living in the wrong physique and treated as second class victimized citizen is outrageous and fully harboured with vicious baseless negative scruples. For so long, social exclusion had perpetuated inequality and deprivation experiencing ingrained malign stigma and besieged victims of crime or violence across their life spans. They are pushed into the murky way of life with a source of eternal disgust, bereft sexual potency and perennial fear. Although they are highly visible but very little is known about them. The common public needs to comprehend the ravaged arrogance on these insensitive souls and assist in integrating them into the mainstream by offering equal opportunity, treat with humanity and respect their dignity. Entrepreneurship in the current age is endorsing the gender fairness movement. Unstable careers and economic inadequacy had inclined one of the gender variant people called Transgender to become entrepreneurs. These tiny budding entrepreneurs resulted in economic transition by means of employment, free from the clutches of stereotype jobs, raised standard of living and handful of financial empowerment. Besides all these inhibitions, they were able to witness a platform for skill set development that ignited them to enter into entrepreneurial domain. This paper epitomizes skill sets involved in trans-entrepreneurs of Thoothukudi Municipal Corporation of Tamil Nadu State and is a groundbreaking determination to sightsee various skills incorporated and the impact on entrepreneurship.

A STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PERFO...IAEME Publication
The main objective of this study is to analyze the impact of aspects of Organizational Culture on the Effectiveness of the Performance Management System (PMS) in the Health Care Organization at Thanjavur. Organizational Culture and PMS play a crucial role in present-day organizations in achieving their objectives. PMS needs employees’ cooperation to achieve its intended objectives. Employees' cooperation depends upon the organization’s culture. The present study uses exploratory research to examine the relationship between the Organization's culture and the Effectiveness of the Performance Management System. The study uses a Structured Questionnaire to collect the primary data. For this study, Thirty-six non-clinical employees were selected from twelve randomly selected Health Care organizations at Thanjavur. Thirty-two fully completed questionnaires were received.
Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

Globally, Millions of dollars were spent by the organizations for employing skilled Information Technology (IT) professionals. It is costly to replace unskilled employees with IT professionals possessing technical skills and competencies that aid in interconnecting the business processes. The organization’s employment tactics were forced to alter by globalization along with technological innovations as they consistently diminish to remain lean, outsource to concentrate on core competencies along with restructuring/reallocate personnel to gather efficiency. As other jobs, organizations or professions have become reasonably more appropriate in a shifting employment landscape, the above alterations trigger both involuntary as well as voluntary turnover. The employee view on jobs is also afflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic along with the employee-driven labour market. So, having effective strategies is necessary to tackle the withdrawal rate of employees. By associating Emotional Intelligence (EI) along with Talent Management (TM) in the IT industry, the rise in attrition rate was analyzed in this study. Only 303 respondents were collected out of 350 participants to whom questionnaires were distributed. From the employees of IT organizations located in Bangalore (India), the data were congregated.

INFLUENCE OF TALENT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE A STUD...IAEME Publication
By implementing talent management strategy, organizations would have the option to retain their skilled professionals while additionally working on their overall performance. It is the course of appropriately utilizing the ideal individuals, setting them up for future top positions, exploring and dealing with their performance, and holding them back from leaving the organization. It is employee performance that determines the success of every organization. The firm quickly obtains an upper hand over its rivals in the event that its employees having particular skills that cannot be duplicated by the competitors. Thus, firms are centred on creating successful talent management practices and processes to deal with the unique human resources. Firms are additionally endeavouring to keep their top/key staff since on the off chance that they leave; the whole store of information leaves the firm's hands. The study's objective was to determine the impact of talent management on organizational performance among the selected IT organizations in Chennai. The study recommends that talent management limitedly affects performance. On the off chance that this talent is appropriately management and implemented properly, organizations might benefit as much as possible from their maintained assets to support development and productivity, both monetarily and non-monetarily.
A STUDY OF VARIOUS TYPES OF LOANS OF SELECTED PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS...IAEME Publication
Banking regulations act of India, 1949 defines banking as “acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment from the public, repayment on demand or otherwise and withdrawable through cheques, drafts order or otherwise”, the major participants of the Indian financial system are commercial banks, the financial institution encompassing term lending institutions. Investments institutions, specialized financial institution and the state level development banks, non banking financial companies (NBFC) and other market intermediaries such has the stock brokers and money lenders are among the oldest of the certain variants of NBFC and the oldest market participants. The asset quality of banks is one of the most important indicators of their financial health. The Indian banking sector has been facing severe problems of increasing Non- Performing Assets (NPAs). The NPAs growth directly and indirectly affects the quality of assets and profitability of banks. It also shows the efficiency of banks credit risk management and the recovery effectiveness. NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA. There are many research conducted on the topic of Non- Performing Assets (NPA) Management, concerning particular bank, comparative study of public and private banks etc. In this paper the researcher is considering the aggregate data of selected public sector and private sector banks and attempts to compare the NPA of Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of public and private sector banks. The tools used in the study are average and Anova test and variance. The findings reveal that NPA is common problem for both public and private sector banks and is associated with all types of loans either that is housing loans, agriculture loans and loans to SMES. NPAs of both public and private sector banks show the increasing trend. In 2010-11 GNPA of public and private sector were at same level it was 2% but after 2010-11 it increased in many fold and at present there is GNPA in some more than 15%. It shows the dark area of Indian banking sector.

ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.
OPTIMAL RECONFIGURATION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION RADIAL NETWORK USING HYBRID MET...IAEME Publication
Distribution system is a critical link between the electric power distributor and the consumers. Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
