Thesis Supervised Supervised over 20+ thesis in the Post graduate program leading to M.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering. Proposed to apply for patenting of my research work Two Ph.D scholars under my supervision in the following areas are currently working: 1. Software Agent based QoS Provisioning in Aggregation of Cloud Services. With following objectives:

To design a cognitive agent based novel architecture for discovering futuristic cloud services and develop a repository of the same. To design a scheme to autonomously and intelligently monitor, negotiate and aggregate the resources from the cloud repository based on QoS for the client. The scheme explores virtualization to minimize energy usage. To design a scheme to dynamically and automatically deliver/distribute/schedule the services to the client ensuring high availability of services and to develop a billing and pricing model. 2. Security Schemes to resolve the issues in distributed sensor networks To design a novel architecture to discover the wormhole attacks in dynamic (mobile) wireless sensor networks with low false toleration and false detection rates. To design a scheme to dynamically and automatically locate the wormhole attacks. To develop a mechanism and in turn develop a novel algorithm to mitigate wormhole attacks using a distributed approach.
