Abstract
Air conditioning systems in large scale buildings contribute a major portion of the energy requirements. A centralized temperature monitoring system would result in the enhancement of air conditioning services in large scale buildings. Here we develop a centralized temperature monitoring scheme suitable for office environments. Wireless sensors are placed inside a compartmentalized office area, which collects the surrounding temperature data and sends it to the cloud. The application in the cloud will receive this data, store the data and present this data graphically to the end user. In order to reduce the redundant data as well as for making the sensor network energy efficient, we carry out a data analytics algorithm to identify the redundant sensors in the network based on data correlation.
Abstract
Main focus of this research work is to design an efficient and scalable RFID based hybrid indoor localization algorithm that operates over long-range RFID readers. The major objectives of this work are to design an approach that is extensible to large environments with minimal calibration and to provide high accuracy. Asset tracking is important for resource utilization and recovery. It is a service that helps locate objects instantly by providing easy access of item locations without much manual effort. We design a hybrid localization algorithm to accurately estimate the position of an object within a finite indoor space. Our approach uses power level and signal strength parameters which are readily available without the requirement of additional hardware. Furthermore, our algorithm applies intelligent region elimination techniques, thereby avoiding the use of heavy calibration and computationally complex algorithms.
Abstract
The most unbeatable technology, Internet brings to people for communication is social networks. With the exponential growth of users in internet, there is an equivalent growth among internet users to regularly visit social websites for linking with their friends, sharing thoughts, photos, videos and even discuss about their day today activities. The fact these social networks are available to all the users for free, leads to various types of security issues. Image security has been a topic of research over decades. Enhancements to individual techniques and combinations proposed till date have offered different levels of security assurances. This work aim to present a technique for secure sharing of image posts in social network. The significant feature of the scheme lies in the selection of security technique based on image content, evaluation of peers with whom the image can be shared based on text classification, transliteration and tone analysis. The proposed scheme a cost effective solution as it does not require any additional hardware. The utility of the model is demonstrated by mapping the scheme with Facebook and analyzing its performance through simulation.

Students Testimonials
"The Computer Science MTech program in Amrita, with an emphasis on Machine Learning, was an amazing experience for me. It was refreshing to be part of an institution where you are graded based on how much you have understood rather than how much you have blindly memorized. The support and guidance I have received from the faculty were unparalleled. The encouragement to pursue genuine research is something that you don't see often in other institutes. Opportunities such as dual degree and internships are exceptional and now that I have completed my course, I'm extremely glad that I chose to do my masters here."
Deepak S., M. Tech. in Computer Science & Engineering (2017 - 19) | RSA, Dell EMC
"MTech course in Computer Science at Amritapuri was based on the latest technologies from the industry covering all the major aspects. Focus was on individual employability skills, personal growth and development. My learning at Amrita truly made me grow both professionally and personally in my life. Through campus placement I got placed as an intern in DELL. I was also offered a permanent job in DELL after my internship completion. I am grateful to all my faculties and Amrita University for giving me such a big platform to develop my skills."
Arya Vijayan, M. Tech. Computer Science and Engineering (2017-2019) | Dell EMC
"My internship at Intel was my first exposure to the corporate world. It was a wonderful learning experience. I honed my skills, interacted with different people and grew steadily in confidence. All this would not have been possible without the training that was imparted to us at Amrita. The constant guidance and support of my professors from Amrita paved the way for my success. Getting an offer from Intel as a software engineer was the icing on the cake."
Nellissery Cheryl Anto Jaya, M. Tech. Computer Science and Engineering (2017-19) | Intel.
"My 2 years of MTech at Amritapuri campus have been the defining periods of my life. During my second year of course work I got placed as an intern in GE Healthcare for 1 year which helped me in developing my technical and communication skills to a great extent. The close relation which Amrita University maintains with the industry has proved quite helpful in getting enough opportunities in terms of career. These two years of education in Amrita has shaped my thinking as a person, and I have extremely fond memories of my time here."
