Crime Analysis using Open Source Information

In this paper, we present a method of crime analysis from open source information. We employed un-supervised methods of data mining to explore the facts regarding the crimes of an area of interest. The analysis is based on well known clustering and association techniques. The results show that the proposed method of crime analysis is efficient and gives a broad picture of the crimes of an area to analyst without much effort. The analysis is evaluated using manual approach, which reveals that the results produced by the proposed approach are comparable to the manual analysis, while a great amount of time is saved.

Towards a Generic Framework for the Development of Unicode Based Digital Sindhi Dictionaries

Dictionaries are essence of any language providing vital linguistic recourse for the language learners, researchers and scholars. This paper focuses on the methodology and techniques used in developing software architecture for a UBSESD (Unicode Based Sindhi to English and English to Sindhi Dictionary). The proposed system provides an accurate solution for construction and representation of Unicode based Sindhi characters in a dictionary implementing Hash Structure algorithm and a custom java Object as its internal data structure saved in a file. The System provides facilities for Insertion, Deletion and Editing of new records of Sindhi. Through this framework any type of Sindhi to English and English to Sindhi Dictionary (belonging to different domains of knowledge, e.g. engineering, medicine, computer, biology etc.) could be developed easily with accurate representation of Unicode Characters in font independent manner.

Design & Development of the Graphical User Interface for Sindhi Language

This paper describes the design and implementation of a Unicode-based GUISL (Graphical User Interface for Sindhi Language). The idea is to provide a software platform to the people of Sindh as well as Sindhi diasporas living across the globe to make use of computing for basic tasks such as editing, composition, formatting, and printing of documents in Sindhi by using GUISL. The implementation of the GUISL has been done in the Java technology to make the system platform independent. The paper describes several design issues of Sindhi GUI in the context of existing software tools and technologies and explains how mapping and concatenation techniques have been employed to achieve the cursive shape of Sindhi script.
