In addition, using other editor will give students more flexibility and functionality to build a page. o We can instead suggest students to use the built-in HTML editor when they have uploaded a file to the system but want to make some minor changes. o If we suggest other softwares, we have to make sure computers in the faculty computer labs also have the softwares installed too. • Discourage the use of Microsoft word or FrontPage to create HTML files. Since these softwares do not create standard HTML files, it causes a lot of problem when students try to format the pages or change the looking feel of their e-Portfolio.

Nishad P.M.* Dr. N. Nalayini Ph.D Scholar, Department Of Computer Science Associate professor, Department of computer science NGM NGM College, Pollachi, India College Pollachi, Coimbatore, India [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: This paper presents a study of various lossless compression algorithms; to test the performance and the ability of compression of each algorithm based on ten different parameters. For evaluation the compression ratios of each algorithm on different parameters are processed. To classify the algorithms based on the compression ratio, rule base is constructed to mine with frequent bit pattern to analyze the variations in various compression algorithms. Also, enhanced K- Medoid clustering is used to cluster the various data compression algorithms based on various parameters. The cluster falls dissentingly high to low after the enhancement. The framed rule base consists of 1,048,576 rules, which is used to evaluate the compression algorithm. Two hundred and eleven Compression algorithms are used for this study. The experimental result shows only few algorithm satisfies the range “High” for more number of parameters. Keywords: Lossless compression, parameters, compression ratio, rule mining, frequent bit pattern, K–Medoid, clustering. I.

    Preparing and Submitting Electronic Files for the IEEE 2000 Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing Conference (MobiHOC) Please read the detailed instructions that follow before you start, taking particular note of preferred fonts, formats, and delivery options. The quality of the finished product is largely dependent upon receiving your help at this stage of the publication process. Producing Your Paper Acceptable Formats Papers can be submitted in either PostScript (PS) or Portable Document Format (PDF) (see Generating PostScript and PDF Files). Using LaTeX Documents converted from the TeX typesetting language into PostScript or PDF files usually contain fixed-resolution bitmap fonts that do not print or display well on a variety of printer and computer screens. Although Adobe Acrobat Distiller will convert a PostScript language file with bitmapped fonts (level 3) into PDF, these fonts display slowly and do not render well on screen in the resulting PDF file. But, if you use Type 1 versions of the fonts you will get a compact file format that delivers the optimal font quality when used with any display screen, zoom mode, or printer resolution. Using Type 1 fonts with DVIPS The default behavior of Rokicki's DVIPS is to embed Type 3 bitmapped fonts. You need access to the Type 1 versions of the fonts you use in your documents in order to embed the font information (see Fonts). Type 1 versions of the Computer Modern fonts are available in the BaKoMa collection and from commercial type vendors. Before distributing files with embedded fonts, consult the license agreement for your font package.
