INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE DEPARTMENT / UNIVERSITY The Department of Computer Science and Engineering, was established in 1980 at Rashbihari campus at 92 APC Road, Rajabazar and probably the first department in country who had offered Bachelor course in Computer Science. Being one of the departments of the Engineering and Technology faculty since then, the department began to contribute in creation of intellectual foundations of Indian Technologies. These activities were started under the able leadership of Late Professor Arun Kumar Choudhury. Prof. Arun Kr. Choudhury is normally remembered as a father figure of switching theory and his contribution in Computer Science is like Von Neumann in our country. The computing community of the world today bears his legacy and legend. Obviously, the entire computing arena of the University of Calcutta including this Department and the School of Information Technology named after him is built on the foundation laid by Professor Arun Kumar Choudhury in the late eighties. The first batch passed out in 1983. The department has grown up steadily keeping pace with the development in the industries and need for qualified graduates, post-graduates to meet the challenging scenarios of the day. Now shifted to the newly constructed campus at Salt Lake, the Department has a new and excellent infrastructure with three full-time courses being conducted for B. Tech., M. Tech. and M. Sc. programs. Besides, it offers one of the largest PhD programs in the entire country with more than 100 enrolled PhD scholars.

FACILITIES Department have plenty of infrastructural facilities with almost 30000 square feet area in the second floor of Technology campus at Salt lake. Six Software laboratories are well equipped with machines and the software for smooth running of the course. Specialized laboratories are there that offers the scope of cutting edge technology researches including cloud computing, sensor network laboratories. Classrooms are prepared with equipment for supporting ideal deliberation environment. Hardware laboratory is one of our strength for offering the courses like Digital logic, Microprocessor etc. The satisfactory performance of the department during last thirty five years is due to the strength of our faculty members. We have 18 sanctioned faculty positions, all the faculty members with their huge experience are actively participating for disseminating knowledge among the students in a very cordial environment.

COURSES The Department of Computer Science and Engineering offers three courses: B. Tech. in Computer Science & Engineering (Intake 40), M.Sc. in Computer & Information Science (Intake: 30) and the M. Tech. in Computer Science & Engineering (Intake: 41). Beside this, the Department runs two PhD programs one in Technology and one for Science students.

Annexure IV

BRIEF ON RESEARCH AREAS PROPOSED I. Software Engineering: The focus of this area is on three diverse aspects of software engineering.

These sub-areas are Requirements Engineering, Data Analytics, and Business Process design.

Arguably, Requirements Specification and Analysis phase seems to be the most ambiguous phase of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). We propose to formalize the task using modeling. Formal models will also help in checking for inconsistencies and non-conformance to company policies.

Analytical processing on multi-dimensional data is often performed over data warehouse. This, in general, is presented in the form of cuboids. All possible combination of the cuboids could be generated from base cuboid using successive roll-up operations and this corresponds to a lattice structure. The emphasis of the research group is towards developing appropriate semantic data models for analysis of semi-structured data in large volume. This includes transformation and loading of data into these data models and making them ready for analysis. Besides lattice and hyper-lattice, we propose to work with graph data models and the so-called schema-less frameworks for handling Big Data.

An efficient and flexible business process helps an organization to meet the requirements of the evolving surroundings. Besides, this would facilitate a competitive advantage over other companies towards delivering services in a way that provides competitive edges over rivals. It is important that the possible process designs can be validated against the service goals and constraint satisfaction. In case more than one valid process designs are derived, the proposed mechanism should eventually be able to identify an optimal solution based on one or multiple criteria pertinent to specific clients.

II. Medical Image processing to aid Diagnosis of Diseases: Biomedical imaging is the application of

engineering methods to detect and visualize the biological processes in our body. Medical imaging is very helpful for the physician to measure, diagnose, treat and even simulate about the medical illness, conditions and treatment. This technique helps the doctor to see inside the body without making an incision. Basically it is a standard modern medical care for cancer, stroke, heart disease, trauma, neurological disorders and many more. Nowadays, it is used by a wide range of medical specialist from oncologists to robotic surgery. The research aims to build new, safe and low cost early prediction systems based on optical image processing.

However, once the primary target is achieved, the research outcome on medical image processing can be extended for other purposes. This includes detection of patches that may lead to cancer, aid in cosmetic Surgery, etc.

III. Smart Grid Computing: A smart power grid is an intelligent network that integrates activities like

power generation, transmission, distribution and optimizes services like autonomic recovery management, smart billing, etc. Smart power grid makes use of advanced information, control, and communication technologies to save energy, lower cost and increase reliability and transparency in the entire system.

The backbone of the Smart Grid will be its network that connects different components of the Smart Grid together, and allow two-way communication between them. Networking the components together will introduce security risks into the system. The primary focus of research in this area is to secure smart grids. Besides security, several novel computing issues are associated

with smart power grid. Dynamic distribution of power based on changing demands of users is another interesting and goal-oriented research aspect.

IV. Pervasive Computing and Remote Healthcare: We aim to deliver an integrated framework for

taking healthcare services to the doorsteps of those, who cannot come to the hospital for different reasons. This is especially for elderly, women, children, and people living in distant villages. The solution is also applicable to distressed people who cannot be brought to a hospital immediately. While the proposed research aims to devise innovative core technologies using clouds, sensors and mobile/pervasive computing with efficient utilization of resources, the findings of the project will be carried to the end users through active collaborations with healthcare-related Government agencies and NGOs.

V. Biometrics and Networks Security: Biometrics is increasingly gaining importance in authenticating a user in the age of rapid spread of autonomic and ubiquitous computing. Biometric traits include fingerprint, hand shape, finger shape, palm-print, finger vein pattern, iris, retina, face, ear shape, teeth, voice, gait, keystroke, signature, body odor, brain wave, ECG, nail surface etc. User authentication based on biometric features is often considered more reliable than the traditional means of password authentication as biometric traits cannot be lost or forgotten and unlike conventional passwords or authentication keys, biometric signatures are very difficult to copy and share.

However, in the current state of maturity, one of the major challenges of biometric authentication is its rather lower level of accuracy. Besides, session of valid users can be hijacked by impostor if the authentication is only one-time at the beginning of each session. We aim to devise a practical approach towards continuous or semi-continuous authentication, where user is verified repeatedly throughout the lifetime of session.

Besides user authentication, securing data over heterogeneous networking platform is another major challenge that we plan to mitigate. These days networking for most of the applications involve heterogeneity and often it’s a mix between conventional wired network and wireless, ad-hoc networks. Keeping in pace with the varied standards and protocols that are in use today securing a hybrid network is indeed a challenge. The broad objective of the scholars working in this area is to secure the next-generation networks.

BRIEF EXTRACT OF RESEARCH PROPOSED FOR NEW PHDS I. Requirements Engineering: The focus of this research is in the horizontal direction of

Requirements Engineering with applications and use cases from the Remote Healthcare Enterprise. The Requirements Specification and Analysis phase seems to be the most ambiguous phase of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Formal models will ease the purpose of automating the code generation process of the SDLC from the analysis and subsequent design phases so that consistency is maintained and risks are mitigated. Further, formal models also help in checking for inconsistencies and non-conformance to company policies. Last, but not the least, models help designers in giving a graphical overview of the system. Graphical representations provide a better understanding to developers which help them in communicating with the Quality Assurance team or Code Testers during the Testing phase. The i* models proposed by Yu [1] is being studied at present. An i* model captures the requirements of the customer in an abstract, strategic, sequence-agnostic schema.

Work in Progress: Novarun Deb, one of the applicants is working towards developing i* models from requirement specifications and specifying the necessary formalisms. We avoid Natural Language Processing and consider a more restricted environment where requirements are specified using First Order Logic or Predicates. Given such a requirement specification, we propose rules that define structural constructs of i* models. The work has been published in [2].

In another ongoing effort, the same scholar is working on extraction of state transition models from i* models. The motivation behind this particular work was that i* models have been in existence since 1995 yet without any major impact on the industry. The most important factor for this is probably the sequence agnostic nature of i* model. This work is a conscious effort to bridge the gap between a sequence agnostic model like i* and a sequence aware modeling language like UML. Any standard business process model, like BPMN or Petri-Nets, cannot be captured without knowing the flow of control and/or data within the system. In this research, our aim is to generate Labeled Kripke Structures from a given i* model. It is quite intuitive to realize that, since an i* model is sequence agnostic, there can be different permutations of the order in which model elements are processed during execution. All these permutations may not be valid; but we will always get a set of state transition models corresponding to a given i* model. The work has been communicated in [3].

Fidelity of Hierarchic i* model decompositions is another sub-area of research. The interesting thing here is to realize that there usually exists an employee hierarchy on the system developer side. The abstract view of the enterprise varies as we move through the hierarchy. As we move higher up the hierarchy, the abstraction increases and vice-versa. The higher levels of the employee hierarchy usually consist of the Managers, CEOs, CFOs, VPs, etc. These employees are agnostic to the design details of the enterprise architecture. Consider the i* representation of the enterprise obtained from the lower levels of the hierarchy consisting of system engineers, code developers, and architects. The question that arises is whether these different i* representations for users at different levels are consistent and if these maintain the fidelity of the enterprise architecture being designed. The same scholar plans to establish a mappings between i* models obtained from different levels of the hierarchy and defining hierarchic decomposition rules for checking the fidelity of such decompositions. Once i* representations obtained from successive levels of the hierarchy can be mapped as envisaged, then we can check the consistency of i* models throughout the hierarchy. The highest level i* model should derive the lowest level i* model by undergoing a series of such hierarchic decompositions. This work is currently in progress.

II. Medical Image Processing for Dental and other Diseases: Biomedical imaging is the application of engineering methods to detect and visualize the biological processes in our body. Medical imaging is very helpful for the physician to measure, diagnose, treat and even imagine about the medical illness, conditions and treatment. This technique helps the doctor to see inside the body without making an incision. Basically it is a standard modern medical care for cancer, stroke, heart disease, trauma, neurological disorders and many more. Nowadays, it is used by a wide range of medical specialist from oncologists to robotic surgery.

With regard to Medicare’s Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula imaging services grew 4.9 percent per year faster than the other technique [4]. According to the National Electrical Manufacturer Association of USA, 2.6 percent people were shifted to the imaging services.

Work in Progress: Soma Datta, one of the applicants is working towards design and development of a bio-medical image processing system towards early detection and classification of patient data for Tooth decay Monitoring system including teeth caries, gum disease, mouth ulcer property detection system etc. Dental caries is a bacterial disease of teeth caused by acid, carbohydrates and it destroys the enamel and dentine. The effective dentistry suggests that to identify the disease at early stage so that they can prevent the caries lesion progression and reduce the risk factor associated with it. Periodic monitoring and treatment is essential to observing and preventing the growth of the caries. It is difficult for a busy dentist to keep track and progress of each dental caries, gum disease etc. Her objective is to assist dentists to monitor the teeth decay, follow-up the progress report after applying some new kind of treatment.

We are planning to design an alternate inexpensive system to monitor the teeth decay. Some work has been done on image segmentation [5, 6] by scholars from the same group working with the same supervisor, Prof. Nabendu Chaki. Soma plans to build on this on foundation and develop a system that will be portable and telemedicine compatible. It can keep track of the progress of the affected area of a tooth. Proposed system will store previous records of the patient. It will use special segmentation technique to reduce the storage requirement and hence this will also reduce the bandwidth in case of telemedicine. Optical image based caries monitoring system is advantageous for doctor to monitor the size of the caries. The proposed method is not injurious to health and it is completely safe for the children and pregnant ladies. Thus, the research aims to build a new, safe and low cost dental caries early prediction method that describes a technique based on optical images of teeth that are filtered and caries lesions are extracted followed by tooth region segmentation. The main goal of this research work is to find the exact caries lesion of affected teeth at early stage that assist dentist for better follow-up and diagnosis.

However, once the primary target is achieved, the research outcome on medical image processing can be extended for other purposes. This include detection of patches in mouth that may lead to cancer, aid in Dental Cosmetic Surgery, Gum Disease or Gingivitis detection system, and Dental biometry based on RGB images. The work is in progress.

III. Smart Grid Computing: A smart power grid [7] is an intelligent electricity network that integrates

the actions of all users connected to it and makes use of advanced information, control, and communication technologies to save energy, reduce cost and increase reliability and transparency.

The backbone of the Smart Grid will be its network. This network will connect the different components of the Smart Grid together, and allow two-way communication between them. Networking the components together will introduce security risks into the system.

Two-way communication has the potential to create a new avenue for cyber attacks to reach the bulk power system and cause serious damage to this critical infrastructure by way of a customer’s smart meters and other grid-connected smart technology. An attacker who gained access to the

communication channels could order metering devices to disconnect customers, order previously shed load to come back on line prematurely, or order dispersed generation sources to turn off during periods when load is approaching generation capacity, causing instability and outages on the bulk power system. Thus to prevent these kinds of attacks we need to secure the routing protocols in smart grid networks and also implement some robust intrusion detection system for a second line of defense.

Also the smart meters are one of the weakest links in smart grid security chain. Smart meters may be used by hackers as entry points into the broader power system. Hackers could hack into smart meters to take command and control of the AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure), allowing a mass manipulation of services to homes and businesses.

One of the main challenges of connecting IPv6 with Smart grid will be address configuration [8, 9]. Identifying a new IPv6 address configuration schema customized for smart grid is another area of study. The proposed schema needs to be consistent with the demands of large, dynamic, hierarchical smart grid network. The schema would improve accessibility and scalability in terms of configuring a huge number of devices in the smart grid, thereby, fully extracting the potential of 128-bit IPv6 addressing mode.

Work in Progress: Manali Chakrabarti, one of the applicants is working towards securing the future smart grid. With the huge number of devices including the smart electrical appliances, increasingly being used in homes, IPv6 become an obvious choice for smart grid for its bandwidth. An early work on this is published in FedCSIS 2014 held in Warsaw, Poland [7].

Besides security, several novel computing issues are associated with smart power grid. Dynamic distribution of power based on changing demands of users subscribed to smart grid is another interesting and much-awaited research aspect. The same scholar is also keeping this within her research scope.

IV. Pervasive Computing and Remote Healthcare: This is an emerging area of research involving

wireless networks, distributed computing and remote care for ailing patients as well as remote monitoring of patients. Remote pervasive care involves several challenges such as security of health data stored in cloud, proper scheduling to achieve the best possible remote allocation of nurse, communication between wearable sensor band to the remote health center, etc.

Nurse scheduling in remote healthcare has been considered under the situation wherein the external ambience impacts on the scheduling inside the hospital, the number of urgent patients increases too much. In any emergency condition it becomes Unconstraint situation when no hospital restriction is imposed on the scheduling.

This research work considers the situation when number of remote emergency patients (ce) become higher than the total number of the current critical patient (cc) and current normal patients (nc) inside the hospital. The demand of the hospital requires assigning available and part-time nurses to the increased number of patients. In this high demand place, we may consider an indirect coding based on the permutations of the nurses and a heuristic decoder (hybrid crossover operator) that builds schedule from these permutations. The term, “indirect coding” implies that the solutions are not directly obtained from the individual solution or chromosomes, rather its obtained from the heuristic decoder. The major challenge is to select the heuristic decoder, and the crossover operator on solution. The indirect algorithm is flexible as the GA can remain unchanged if the problem changes.

Work in Progress: Paramita Sarkar, one of the applicants has done some initial work in this area [10]. The problem of remote monitoring of pregnant women in rural areas has also been considered.

The research aims to develop a framework to provide continuous monitoring in a non-invasive manner to the rural women who have very low chance of visiting the health center located far away.

V. Biometrics and Networks Security: Privacy of data stored for ubiquitous applications is a major concern in any remote framework. There are three separate security aspects to it. These are information or data security in the data mart, securing data during transmission, i.e., network security and remote user authentication. User authentication based on biometric features is often considered more reliable than the traditional means of password authentication as biometric traits cannot be lost or forgotten and unlike conventional passwords or authentication keys, biometric signatures are very difficult to copy and share. Thus, biometric techniques provide a solution to ensure that the desired services are accessed only by a legitimate user and no one else.

A number of biometric characteristics have been used for different applications [11]. Biometric traits include fingerprint, hand shape, finger shape, palm-print, finger vein pattern, iris, retina, face, ear shape, teeth, voice, gait, keystroke, signature, body odor, brain wave, ECG, nail surface etc. Each biometric trait has its strengths and weaknesses, and the choice depends on the application. However, in current state of maturity, one of the major challenges of biometric authentication is its rather lower level of accuracy. The false positive and false negatives either block access to legitimate users or grant access to unauthorized users. Beside this, session of valid users can be hijacked by impostor if the authentication is only one-time at the beginning of each session. We consider continuous or semi-continuous authentication, where user is verified repeatedly throughout the lifetime of session.

Biometric authentication though typing pattern analysis is a valid method for identity verification. Typing pattern is a behavioral nature which can be used to identify users uniquely by utilizing the rhythm and manner in which an individual types characters on a keyboard [12]. Patterns show sufficiently distinct information that can be used for either identification or verification. Several studies show that a person’s typing pattern show sufficiently distinct information that can be used for identification and authentication [12]. Use of keystroke detects the typing pattern of an individual by using only standard keyboard and simple software.

Besides user authentication, securing data over heterogeneous networking platform is another major challenge. A group of M. Tech. students and PhD scholars are quite active over last few years and published significant results on intrusion detection and response systems for wireless, ad-hoc and sensor networks [14, 15, 16, 17].

The evolution of communication standards targeted at radio frequency (RF) applications has changed the perception of wireless technologies for sensor networks. IEEE 802.11 networks fulfill the requirements for data services in a local area. IEEE 802.15 standard family is developed for the wireless WPAN. These standards define the physical and MAC layers of WPAN. The IEEE 802.15.4 is a standard that details the physical layer and media access control (MAC). ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4) compliant wireless devices are expected to transmit within 10–75 m. IEEE 802.16 aims to serve the broadband wireless access in metropolitan area networks. WiMAX is the commercialization of the maturing IEEE 802.16 standard. IEEE 802.11s defines a secure password-based authentication and key establishment protocol between the peers. There are many more in the list of standards. Keeping in pace with this varied standards and protocols that are in use today coupled with the fact that ad-hoc networks are built without any centralized control, securing a hybrid network is indeed a challenge. The broad objective of the scholars working in this area is to secure the next-generation networks.

Work in Progress: A couple of M. Tech. students and one PhD scholar funded from an ITRA project are working on key-stroke based remote user authentication [13]. We plan to apply our work in remote health framework as a case study to check whether patients’ health records could be accessed by only valid caregivers or not. Currently, the proposed techniques are being tried in a

health kiosk set-up at Barha, a remote village in Birbhum district in West Bengal. The real-life data from the kiosk where multiple care-givers are using the same hardware will help to study the performance of the proposed schema.
