It is a matter of both honor and pleasure for us to put forth the seventh issue of BIJIT; the BVICAM's International Journal of Information Technology. It presents a compilation of ten papers that span a broad variety of research topics in various emerging areas of Information Technology and Computer Science. Some application oriented papers, having novelty in application, have also been included in this issue, hoping that usage of these would further enrich the knowledge base and facilitate the overall economic growth. This issue shows our commitment in realizing our vision "to achieve a standard comparable to the best in the field and finally become a symbol of quality".

As a matter of policy of the Journal, all the manuscripts received and considered for the Journal by the editorial board are double blind peer reviewed independently by at-least two referees.  Our panel of expert referees posses a sound academic background and have a rich publication record in various prestigious journals representing Universities, Research Laboratories and other institutions of repute, which, we intend to further augment from time to time. Finalizing the constitution of the panel of referees, for double blind peer review(s) of the considered manuscripts, was a painstaking process, but it helped us to ensure that the best of the considered manuscripts are showcased and that too after undergoing multiple cycles of review, as required.

The ten papers that were finally published were chosen out of eighty seven papers that we received from all over the world for this issue. We understand that the confirmation of final acceptance, to the authors / contributors, is delayed, but we also hope that you concur with us in the fact that quality review is a time taking process and is further delayed if the reviewers are senior researchers in their respective fields and hence, are hard pressed for time.

We wish to express our sincere gratitude to our panel of experts in steering the considered manuscripts through multiple cycles of review and bringing out the best from the contributing authors. We thank our esteemed authors for having shown confidence in BIJIT and considering it a platform to showcase and share their original research work. We would also wish to thank the authors whose papers were not published in this issue of the Journal, probably because of the minor shortcomings. However, we would like to encourage them to actively contribute for the forthcoming issues.

The undertaken Quality Assurance Process involved a series of well defined activities that, we hope, went a long way in ensuring the quality of the publication. Still, there is always a scope for improvement, and so, we request the contributors and readers to kindly mail us their criticism, suggestions and feedback at bijit@bvicam.ac.in and help us in further enhancing the quality of forthcoming issues.
