Green Energy is increasingly becoming an important component for
all individuals and governments of the world. According to
Brundtland Commission Report (Our Common Future, 1987) of United
Nations states: ?sustainable development is development that meets
the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs.? Green Energy is widely
considered as Sustainable Energy/ Re-newable Energy which meets the
needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generation to meet their own needs. In the global movement of Green
Energy ?Sustainable Renewable Energy, most of the countries decided
to be a part ofthis movement of saving our planet and our future
generation. This effort is supported by eleven international
authors who are experts in their respective fields. The output is
this book ? Green Energy. This book is comprises of six chapters.
The first chapter discusses how global temperature can be
controlled with the help of technology. Second chapter explains
about green buildings. It explains about costs and benefits of
green houses. Third chapter discusses about biofuels. Fourth
chapter discusses about technical feasibility of Renewable
Electricity Generation in Nunavut. Fifth chapter presents a summary
of 15 years of grass root project experience in Partnership with
impoverished, remote high altitude communities in the Nepal
Himalayas. Sixth chapter argues that, contrary to popular belief,
sustainable sources, in particular solar power, are capable of
providing allthe energy the Europe needs at reasonable cost.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second
International Conference on Intelligent Interactive Technologies
and Multimedia, IITM 2013, held in Allahabad, India, in March 2013.
The 15 revised full papers and the 12 revised short papers were
carefully reviewed and selected from more than 90 submissions. The
papers present the latest research and development in the areas of
intelligent interactive technologies, human-computer interaction
and multimedia.
India is showing incredibly strong appearance in Information
Technology (IT) sector worldwide, but the benefits of IT revolution
have not actually percolated into the everyday life of the common
man, particularly in rural areas. National E Governance Plan is a
major initiative of the Government of India, the first time under
which a concerted effort is being made to take Information
Technology to the masses in areas of concern to the common man. It
aims to make services available online, ensuring that all citizens
would have access to them, thereby improving the quality of basic
governance on an unprecedented scale. This book attempts to
disseminate information about several E Governance projects and
possible Data Mining benefits which are the future of good
governance in India. Strategic Management of these projects through
Data Mining would certainly encourage policy makers to understand
better models of E Governance, thorough evaluation of projects,
perceptive interrelations between projects, keeping track of the
objectives and outcomes and to develop a more collaborative
approach towards implementation of the National e- Governance Plan.
This revolutionary approach will help the government in assessing
the upcoming requirements and developing competencies for further
project management, thereby making a difference in the lives of
millions. It will help innovators to find out optimum solutions to
achieve the end objectives of E Governance. Technical topics
discussed in the book include: * E Governance * Fundamental of
Data, Data Warehousing, Data Mining, E Governance * World Wide
Status of E Governance * Status of E Governance projects in India *
E Governance Data Management Framework * E Governance Data Center *
Perspective Application of Data Warehousing and Data Mining in E
Governance * Case Studies on Education and Health Data Mining * E
Governance Data Mining Applications in Various Government
Departments, Public Sector, Private Sector * SWOT and PESTLE
Analysis for Data Warehousing, Data Mining, E Governance Data
Warehousing and Data Mining are related technologies which have
seen a significant boost in the last decades, in a way that many of
their concepts and techniques have reached a significant level of
maturity. They are applied today in most fields of human activity,
from commercial to scientific or industrial areas. Today, decision
support, data mining, trend analysis and pattern discovery have a
large impact on businesses and science alike. Given this evolution,
it is important to understand the potential advantages of Data
Mining and Data Warehousing and their positive effects on E
Governance applications. The book "E Governance Data Center, Data
Warehousing and Data Mining: Vision to Realities" is useful for
students, application developers, government officials, policy
makers, as well as researchers involved in E Governance and Data
Mining Applications. This book presents an overall picture of the E
Governance Data Mining applications, including Data Management
Framework, Data Center and Data Warehousing applications along with
possible research directions. An important motivation for writing
this book was the need to build an organized framework for E
Governance using Data Mining-a challenging task, owing to the
extensive multidisciplinary nature of this fastdeveloping field. We
hope that this book will encourage people with different
backgrounds and experiences to exchange their views regarding Data
Mining applications in E Governance so as to contribute toward the
establishment of good governance for the developed society.
Emerging technologies have been successfully employed within
different disciplines improving the quality of life globally in
India these have been employed to address the multifarious issues
in a limited manner to improve the way of life for individuals with
different disabilities. Indian Institute of Information Technology,
Allahabad, therefore, organized International and National Seminars
since 2008 to deliberate on the application of information
communication technologies ICT] in the rehabilitation of people
with disabilities . Domain experts have recognized that management
of differently abled individuals requires participation of
multidisciplinary experts. We also require an enormous bank of
skilled, qualified trained manpower with support to keep themselves
in tune with latest technology and developments. We also face the
problems of having to deal with individuals located countrywide;
inadequate ICT-based infrastructure to assist with accessing
services of experts that are based in urban areas. This is one of
the major constraints for a sustained and effective therapeutic
program. This is the fifth publication under the IIIT-A Series on
e-Governance. It is a collection of 20 articles based on the
presentations made in the Seminars. This book will of interest to
all stakeholders in the disability rehabilitation management as the
population of people with disabilities in growing. The articles
cover the following four areas on disability rehabilitation
management: Rehabilitation of Differently Abled Persons: Overview
and Issues Infrastructure and potentials for use of ICT in
Disability Rehabilitation ICT Initiatives for Rehabilitation of
Differently Abled Persons Assistive Technology for Differently
Abled Persons - the road ahead
