the message is unknown. Steganography is a method of hiding secret messages in a cover object while
communication takes place between sender and receiver. Security of confidential information has always
been a major issue from the past times to the present time. It has always been the interested topic for
researchers to develop secure techniques to send data without revealing it to anyone other than the
receiver. Therefore from time to time researchers have developed many techniques to fulfill secure
transfer of data and Steganography is one of them. In this paper we have proposed a new technique of
image Steganography i.e. Steganography is applied on image edges with RSA algorithm for providing
more security to data as well as our data hiding method. The proposed technique uses an ELSB (Edge
based least significant bit) technique to generate a pattern for hiding data bits into ELSB of RGB pixel
values of the cover image. This technique makes sure that the message has been encrypted before hiding
it into a cover image. If in any case the cipher text got revealed from the cover image, the intermediate
person other than receiver can't access the message as it is in encrypted form. Objective is not only to
prevent the message being read but also to hide its existence. In this paper, canny arithmetic operator has
been proved to have good detective effect in the common usage of edge detection. In the algorithm, selfadaptive
filter is used to replace the Gaussian filter, morphological thinning is adopted to thin the edge
and morphological operator is used to achieved the refining treatment of edge points detection and the
single pixel level edge.

the human based on his/her genome. Micro Satellites extraction became more crucial in the modern world.
Several Micro Satellite Extractors exist and they fail to extract microsatellites on large data sets of giga

the critical need for the exploration of images, such as object recognition, image searching, indexing, and
categorization. For some applications, such as image recognition or compression, we cannot process the
whole image directly for the reason that it is inefficient and unpractical. As a very vital step for these high
level image exploration tasks, image segmentation is a pre-processing process to group image pixels into
some sizable homogeneous regions so that the complexity of further analysis can be substantially reduced.
Therefore, several image segmentation algorithms were proposed to segment an image before recognition
or compression. This paper outlines an awareness to hinge on the tedious arrangements in a homogeneous
area based on the histogram of positions of image gradients and link of two regions can be done with the
color feature. Over-segmentation problem can be meritoriously eluded by creating the comparison matrix.

development and massive usage of internet over the past decade, the vulnerabilities of network security
have become an important issue. We introduce a new machine-learning-based data classification algorithm
that is applied to network intrusion detection. The basic task is to classify network activities (in the
network log as connection records) as normal or abnormal while minimizing misclassification. Although
different classification models have been developed for network intrusion detection, each of them has its
strengths and weaknesses, including the most commonly applied Support Vector Machine (SVM) method
and the Clustering based on Self-Organized Ant Colony Network (CSOACN). Our new approach
combines the SVM method with CSOACNs to take the advantages of both while avoiding their
weaknesses. Our algorithm is implemented and evaluated using a standard benchmark KDD99 data set.
Experiments show that CSVAC (Combining Support Vectors with Ant Colony) outperforms SVM alone or
CSOACN alone in terms of both classification rate and run-time efficiency.

particular catchment area. Rainfall–runoff modelling can be carried out within a purely analytical
framework based on observations of the inputs to and outputs from a catchment area. The relationship
between rainfall in a period and the corresponding runoff is quite complex. The aim of this paper is to
develop Fuzzy Logic Model to estimate runoff for any amount of rainfall given for the area considered.
The area considered for the study is Devgadhbaria of Panam catchment area, Gujarat, India. The data
considered are for the months of June, July, August, September and October for 10 years, i.e. 1996 to
2005. The whole length of data is divided into two parts for training of model and for validation of the
model. In 70%-30%, data set where 70% data are used for training of the model and 30% data are used
for validation process and similarly for 60%-40% and 80%-20% data sets. The model operates on an ‗ifthen‘
principle, where the ‗if‘ is a vector of fuzzy premises and the ‗then‘ is a vector of fuzzy
consequences. Three Fuzzy Logic Models i.e., FL Model 1, FL Model 2 and FL Model 3 have been
developed considering data set of 70%-30%, data set of 60%-40% and data set of 80%-20% respectively.
All Fuzzy Logic Model developed with nine numbers of linguistic variables for each input and output. The
best Fuzzy Logic Model has been analysed on basis of various performance indices, i.e., the Root Mean
Square Error and Co-efficient of determination. Among all three models, the best Fuzzy Logic model is
Fuzzy Logic (FL) Model 2 with the RMSE of 3.42 mm by training and 4.55 mm by validation of the model,
and co-efficient of determination by training of the model is 0.9954 and by validation of the model is
0.9921 which are nearer to 1, which may be used for prediction of future runoff for the area considered
under study for any amount of rainfall given. The threshold rainfall has been determined for the area
considered under study, which is 27 mm. So it gives a fair idea of the minimum amount of rainfall
required for runoff generation in Devgadhbaria of Panam catchment area

maps to solve the Economic Ordered Quantity (EOQ) problem with different cost functions. In proposed
approach, we employ the PSO method that involves the alternating use of chaotic maps in estimating the
velocity of the particle. Presently the PSO method has been widely used in complex designs problems with
multiple variables where the optimization of a cost function is required. The use of pure analytical method
for the Economic Ordered Quantity (EOQ) problem is widely studies however the best solution may
require problem dependent derivations, complex mathematical calculations and at the worst it fails to
achieve global best solution, hence to overcome the problem this paper presents a different approach by
using PSO with irregular velocity updates which is performed by some kind of random function which
force the particles to search greater space for best global solution. However the random function itself
derived from a well-defined mathematical expression which limits its redundancy hence in the paper we
are utilizing the two different chaotic maps which are used alternatively this mathematically increased the
randomness of the function. The simulation of the algorithm verifies the effectiveness and superiority of
the algorithm over standard algorithms.

Fuzzy Logic (FL) Model 2 with the RMSE of 3.42 mm by training and 4.55 mm by validation of the model,
and co-efficient of determination by training of the model is 0.9954 and by validation of the model is
0.9921 which are nearer to 1, which may be used for prediction of future runoff for the area considered
under study for any amount of rainfall given. The threshold rainfall has been determined for the area
considered under study, which is 27 mm. So it gives a fair idea of the minimum amount of rainfall
required for runoff generation in Devgadhbaria of Panam catchment area

maps to solve the Economic Ordered Quantity (EOQ) problem with different cost functions. In proposed
approach, we employ the PSO method that involves the alternating use of chaotic maps in estimating the
velocity of the particle. Presently the PSO method has been widely used in complex designs problems with
multiple variables where the optimization of a cost function is required. The use of pure analytical method
for the Economic Ordered Quantity (EOQ) problem is widely studies however the best solution may
require problem dependent derivations, complex mathematical calculations and at the worst it fails to
achieve global best solution, hence to overcome the problem this paper presents a different approach by
using PSO with irregular velocity updates which is performed by some kind of random function which
force the particles to search greater space for best global solution. However the random function itself
derived from a well-defined mathematical expression which limits its redundancy hence in the paper we
are utilizing the two different chaotic maps which are used alternatively this mathematically increased the
randomness of the function. The simulation of the algorithm verifies the effectiveness and superiority of
the algorithm over standard algorithms.
