A. Research Contributions
I. Mobile Computing
Advances in wireless networking have prompted a new concept of computing, called
mobile computing in which users carrying portable devices have access to a shared
infrastructure, independent
of their
physical location. Mobile computing is
revolutionizing the way computers are used and in the coming years this will become
even more perceptible although many of the devices themselves will become smaller
or even invisible (such as sensors) to users.
The Mobile Computing technology has immense impact on the society and it has changed
the way we conduct our day-to-day businesses. It has facilitated access to Internet services
and computing resources on anywhere and anytime basis. We, at Dept of Computer Science
and Engineering, University College of Engineering, Osmania University have been very
active in furthering research in the area of Mobile Computing and have made significant
contributions.
Contributions:
1. Integration of MANETs inti Internet: Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET), an
infrastructure-less, autonomous, standalone and self organizing network is one of the
wireless technologies gaining popularity. These kinds of systems are extremely useful in
conditions where the infrastructure is absent, impractical to establish or even expensive to
build (e.g.: military applications, high terrain uses, and emergency relief operations).
The rapid growth of the Internet, its services, and applications and the trend of fourth
generation (4G) wireless networks towards full-IP networks, leads to an increasing
demand for enabling MANET nodes to connect to the Internet, access its services and
applications. The integration of MANET routing protocols with IP protocol makes
Internet connectivity to the MANET nodes a plausible task. Due to the different
architectural mismatches between the Internet and MANETs it becomes necessary to
introduce an intermediate entity known as Gateway, capable of connecting to the Internet
using mobile IP and to MANET using an ad hoc routing protocol.
In this research work, we have examined various strategies for integrating the MANETs
with Internet and developed a framework that encompasses efficient integration strategies
which aim to reduce the control overhead, improve the end-end delay and the packet
delivery ratio. Existing Routing Protocols of MANETs have been reworked to make
them suitable for MANETs to be part of MANETs. The strategy provides a seamless
connectivity to the Internet, thus making MANETs much more useful.

2. Efficient Broadcast of Dynamic data using Broadcast Disk: Broadcast disk is a means of
exploiting asymmetry in bandwidth of mobile communication systems in which data is
divided into pages and these pages are broadcasted using downstream channel. This form of
communication systems implements push-based data transfer. A push-based model is not
only more efficient in terms of performance but also significantly improves system
scalability, when compared to traditional pull-based systems.
In our research, we broadly addressed the issue of performance and scalability of hybrid
push-pull technique for data scheduling in mobile environment. We have modeled
efficient algorithms for broadcasting dynamically changing data. In particular our
contributions are summarized as follows:

Designed an algorithm for dynamically collecting the data access patterns by the
server

Designed server broadcast algorithm, called optimal scheduling algorithm, to
optimally partition the total communication channels in to broadcast (push) channels and
on-demand (pull) channels and allocate the data items.

Designed Dynamic Scheduling Algorithm to adjust the server broadcast algorithm
dynamically to accommodate changes in mobile access patterns

3. Mobility Management in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks: Currently there exists
several wireless networks throughout the world that were designed keeping in view of
specific service needs and application requirements. These systems have their own merits and
shortcomings. Wi-Fi or example 802.11x has the characteristics of high band width, low cost
and short distance access; 802.16x or Wi-Max systems are optimized to provide real-time
high data rate services in WMAN environments or 3G Cellular WWAN networks are
slower, high cost, long range and always connected. As these systems all have their own
merits and shortcomings, there is no single system that is good enough to replace all the other
technologies. Hence modern wireless communication systems consist of an integration of
cellular, WLAN and Wi-Max access networks coexisting and are termed heterogeneous
wireless networks. This integration enables mobile users to seamlessly roam across various
networks in an always best connected mode, by connecting to the most efficient
combination of available access systems at anytime and anywhere. The integration and
inter operation of these heterogeneous networks pose several challenges. One of the
important issues is the design of an efficient handoff management scheme to enable seamless
intersystem roaming.
The research work focuses on the issue of handoff management and it aims at developing an
efficient vertical handoff decision technique that chooses the best target network to which the
mobile node switches from the current access network, by considering certain specified
parameters that include Received Signal Strength (RSS), Available Bandwidth(BW), Cost of
(Annexure- III)
the Network(C), Velocity with which the mobile is moving(V) and User preference. It also
aims at developing a signal scheme that is adopted among the mobile, the current base station
and the target base station for handoff execution.

II. Image Retrieval Systems
The rapid growth in the number and size of image databases has prompted the need for new
effective and efficient methods for retrieval of images on the basis of their content. There
has been a significant growth in the utilization of image databases in numerous areas such
as medical image management, multimedia libraries, document archives, art collections,
geographical information system, law enforcement agencies, and journalism leading to
momentous growth in research related to the Content-based image retrieval (CBIR). We
have addressed the issues of efficient retrieval of images from image databases.
Contributions:
An integrated approach for efficient Content Based Image Retrieval: Each feature has
its own pros and cons, color histogram is a global feature that is easily computable and
used for overall color impression retrieval, but it is prone to false matches; texture
descriptors are effective to retrieve texture patterns but are problematic with nonhomogeneous regions in natural scenes; shape features can improve retrieval efficiency
when used in combination with other features but have limited power by themselves; and
regions facilitate image subregion querying but are difficult to extract in natural scenes.
So, in order to exploit the advantages of both global and region features, an integrated
system has been proposed in this thesis.
 Some of the major contributions from the research are:
 build, implement and test the performance of an integrated effective and efficient
system for content-based image retrieval using the global and region features in order
to exploit their advantages
 a new image segmentation algorithm to extract region features has been proposed
 R*-tree, a high dimensional indexing structure has been proposed for speedy retrieval
and its performance is compared with R-tree
 a new fractional distance metric has been proposed for the system as similarity
measure for efficient retrieval in high dimensional feature space
 right combination of global and region features are identified for efficient image
retrieval
 investigation of influence of global and region features each separately on the image
retrieval
 CBIR with rectangular partition approach with Euclidean distance as similarity
measure has been build, implemented and performance tested
 CBIR with region segmentation approach with Euclidean distance as similarity
measure has been build, implemented and performance tested
 Performances of the CBIR systems developed and implemented are studied and
compared
(Annexure- III)
The results indicate that the region features are more prominent than global features. The
proposed integrated system with global and region features, R*-tress as indexing structure
and fractional distance as similarity measure proved to yield quite good results for the most
of the query images. The advantages of global and region features have been exploited for
effective and efficient performance.
