Secure your Webcams and CCTVs

In current scenario, it is very common trend to install the Webcams or CCTVs in Homes or Offices for the security and overall privacy. By simply installation of CCTV or Webcams, the security and privacy cannot be integrated.

These Webcams and CCTVs are indexed on the Internet of Things (IoT) based Search Engines which can be viewed by anybody on Internet. Shodan is one of the prominent IoT Search Engine.

We should be aware that if the passwords are not implemented in secured mechanism, the CCTVs and Webcams can be accessed by anybody. In this way, it will not be security rather it will be the invitation to the criminals.

Tips to Write Abstract in the Research Paper for Conferences and Journals

In a Research Paper, there are so many different components. Out of many modules of a research paper, the Abstract is very important point. It should be written very carefully. The Abstract should include the Data Analysis and Extracts of the Research Reports as shown in the Figure

Effective Abstract Writing for Research Papers and Conferences

Abstract is the first and one of the main components in a research paper or article. The Abstract of research paper should be written very carefully and some data analytics and reports should be included to give good impression. By this way, the Abstract gets more chances of acceptance. In most of the good conferences, first of all the Abstract is called and after that Full Paper.

It is generally seen that the authors start the Abstract with very general statements or the definitions. The abstract should not include the definitions or generic statements.

In Abstract, the real time data should be added so that the abstract can be accepted in first instance. From prominent research portals including statista.com, data.gov.in and many others the data analytics can be used.

Tips To Write Quick Literature Review

The literature review can be written quickly using some tips. Using these, the research paper is read very quickly and in parallel the text is written so that it can be placed in the Literature Review.

Following are the tips to write the literature review:

• Focus on the terms in Abstract like "In this work", "In this paper", "Challenges". These terms give the clear idea about the theme of paper
• The keywords are prepared from the Title and Abstract. The sentences from the keywords can be written very easily
• For Example: If the keywords are "machine learning, classification, random forest approach".
• A sentence can be created like "In this manuscript, the problem formulation is done with the focus on random forest based approach for classification that is the key domain of machine learning"
• Write the headings of the paper separately and then the sentence formation is done

By these tips and tricks, the literature review can be prepared very easily and rapidly

Semantic Web: Deep Mining of Search Queries with Accurate Interpretation

From the data analytics reports of InternetLiveStats.com, Google processes more than 40,000 search queries per second. Around 20% queries on Google are those which are new everyday and never entered before on the search engine. The major challenge with the search engines is to get the accurate results without irrelevant outcomes.

Semantic Web in broad terms refers to the Web with Meaning using Interconnections. The web in semantic web is able to describe things in a way that computers can understand the actual meaning which reside in the search query or browsing behavior. 

The wonderful powers of semantic web can be seen on the prominent website like Skyscanner.net and Trivago.com. These portals compare the real time prices from different services providing portals and give the best results in form of comparison. The back-end libraries of these portals communicate with different websites and then fetch the results so that the users can see the minimum price of hotels or flights. The protocols of semantic web work with these websites to fetch the related information from multiple locations.

Whenever the information about specific service, product, company or object is required, the users navigate different search engines so that the related website can be fetched and particular information can be found. Now, the major issues with the traditional search engines are that the information may be scattered and irrelevant.

For example, if a user enters a search keyword “gold today” on the search engine, there are many haphazard results which may include the following aspects

• Gold Price
• Gold Jewellers
• Star Gold
• Gold Loan

If the user is fond of watching Movies on Star Gold, then the semantic web search engine should give all results of “Star Gold” on searching of “Gold”.
