Changing Role of Test Manager in Changing Situations
Veerabhadraiah Sandru, Rama Murari
Abstract
According to analyst Nelson Hall, the global testing services market was $8.4bn in 2011, and although 2012 is expected to be flat, it predicts an average 9% growth every year over the next five years. Amidst of these business prospects, there are several change dimensions that are happening in either the testing function or in the echo system of testing. These include Customer embracement of New Technologies, Evolution of diverse Test Operating Models, and Increasing inclination towards Product/user centric approach. Test manager’s role is now being changed to be more technology savvy, collaborative while delivering the existing responsibilities related to test strategy and other project management aspects like people management, delivery management, talent management etc., Test Manager being the custodian of the test organization would need to play a key anchoring role in understanding the above and tune their test organization to gear up to meet the futuristic needs of customers (internal and external). This paper mentions various changes that are happening in and around testing and lists the key aspects that a test manager needs to focus on.

Power Efficient Adhoc Wireless Network for Mining Industry
Ashish Chougule, Atul Nigavekar and Prashant Palkar
Abstract
In mining industry conveyer belt is used with the microcontroller switch which is connected to the mining office headquarters which is two miles far. Traditionally here wired connectivity of Armod cables are used to give signal to the headquarter for giving status of that equipment is on or off. As the Armod cables are having less bandwidth the speed of signaling is also very less. Therefore if the number of equipments are increased up to 500 to 600 then it takes on an average 30 sec time to give signal of status to the headquarter which is very dangers to the human working under the mining industry. Because of this slow speed of signaling many accidents are happened in mining industry. Here we design a system which offers a family of mission critical technologies that help mining industries increase visibility into assets and personnel to minimize losses due to theft, management inefficiencies, damages & injury.

Analysis of Data Aggregation Techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks
Prakashgoud Patil, Umakant Kulkarni
Abstract
The main goal of data aggregation algorithms is to gather and aggregate data in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) in an energy efficient manner so that network lifetime is enhanced. Data aggregation may be effective technique in this context because it reduces the number of packets to be sent to sink by aggregating the similar packets. The performance of data aggregation protocols are characterized by performance measure such as energy consumption, latency ad data accuracy. In this paper, we present a survey of data aggregation algorithms and approaches for handling the trade-offs in data aggregation schemes.

Soft Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Fuzzy Logic & Genetic Algorithm in Bioinformatics
Swati Jain, Abhishek Pandey
Abstract
Soft computing is creating several possibilities in bioinformatics, especially by generating low-cost, low precision (approximate), good solutions. Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary research area that is the interface between the biological and computational sciences. Bioinformatics deals with algorithms, databases and information systems, web technologies, artificial intelligence and soft computing, information and computation theory, structural biology, software engineering, data mining, image processing, modeling and simulation, discrete mathematics, control and system theory, circuit theory, and statistics. Despite of a high number of techniques specifically dedicated to bioinformatics problems as well as many successful applications, we are in the beginning of a process to massively integrate the aspects and experiences in the different core subjects such as biology, medicine, computer science, engineering, and mathematics. Recently the use of soft computing tools for solving bioinformatics problems have been gaining the attention of researchers because of their ability to handle imprecision, uncertainty in large and complex search spaces. The paper will focus on soft computing paradigm in bioinformatics with particular emphasis on integrative research.

Transient Stability Analysis of Multimachine Power System with FACT Devices using MATLAB/Simulink Environment
Manish Kumar Saini, Naresh Kumar Yadav, Naveen Mehra
Abstract
Power system stability is a term applied to alternating current electric power system denoting condition in which various synchronous machine of the system remain in synchronism or in step with each other. This paper describes the multi machine power system example to demonstrate the features and scope of graphical simulink environment of general purpose of MATLAB software. MATLAB /simulink are advanced software which is being used increasingly in many areas of research. It also holds great potential in area of power system stability used simulink. Further, Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is used to control the power flow in the transmission systems by controlling the impedance, voltage magnitude and phase angle. This controller offers advantages in terms of static and dynamic operation of the power system. It also brings in new challenges in power electronics and power system design. The basic structure of the UPFC consists of two voltage source inverter (VSI); where one converter is connected in parallel to the transmission line while the other is in series with the transmission line. This paper also involves the designing of a single phase UPFC using Matlab and Simulink software, and constructing a lab scale model of the UPFC along with transient stability of multimachine power system. The experimental result which has been obtained from a lab scale system showed a good agreement with the simulation result.

High Performance Fault Tolerance Protocol for Mobile Distributed Systems
Gurdev Singh, R. K. Verma
Abstract
A mobile computing system consists of mobile and stationary nodes, connected to each other by communication network. The system raises several constraints such as limited battery life, mobility, disconnection of hosts and lack of stable storage. To reduce the lost of computational work during recovery from the node failures periodic collection of a consistent snapshot of the system (checkpoint) is required. This paper presents an efficient coordinated checkpoint protocol which is non-blocking and not forces every node to take local checkpoint. We proposed that collected global snapshot is consistent. Our protocol meet the low energy consumption, reduces storage overhead having low communication and low band width constraints of mobile computing systems.
