This paper presents three reconfigurable radio systems developed within CTVR, The Telecommunications Research Centre and demonstrated at the IEEE international Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DySPAN) symposium held in Chicago in October 2008. All three systems were developed using the Iris cognitive radio network architecture. Each system employs a different processing platform. Today's radio communication standards feature increasing levels of flexibility and reconfigurability as designers strive to extract as much performance as possible from the resources available. To provide the required flexibility, general processing platforms are being employed to a greater extent than ever before. At the same time, the range and scope of available processing platforms is expanding. The systems presented in this paper use three such general processing platforms;a multicore General Purpose Processor (GPP), the Cell Broadband Engine (CellBE) and a Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The paper provides an overview of Iris and looks at each demonstration system in turn, illustrating the way in which the unique features of each platform are used. The authors present a number of insights gained in the course of developing the systems and address the role of experimentation in emerging wireless networks research.

Structural walls are one of the most commonly used lateral-load resisting systems, and many previous studies have addressed the seismic performance, analysis and design of these systems. However, few previous tests have focused on the performance of structural wall systems and few have simulated the reinforcement patterns and loading distributions found in modern structures. As such, limited data have been available for validation of the models used in performance-based design of these systems. To overcome deficiencies in previous tests, large-scale reinforced concrete walls are being tested using the advanced equipment, control algorithms and instrumentation available at the NEES facility at the University of Illinois. Test specimens include planar, coupled, c-shaped and core wall subassemblages. To simulate the demand originating from the upper stories of a multi-story structure, specialized load-and-boundary- condition boxes (LBCBs) are used. Testing of the first series of specimens, four planar walls, was completed in 2008. Data from these tests show the influence of the shear-force distribution and longitudinal reinforcement configuration on wall behavior, drift capacity, the progression of damage, and the contribution to total deformation of flexural, shear, anchorage and other response mechanisms.

In the past decades, we have devoted our efforts to the research of evolutionary algorithms and its application to optimization problems in the fields of Industrial engineering (IE) and Operations Research (OR). We summarized our research results in our book entitled Network Models and Optimization: Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm Approach by Springer, 2008. We defined an evolutionary computation architecture and developed a software tool for the evolutionary computation researches and real-world applications, called Service-oriented Evolutionary Computation Architecture (SoECA). In this presentation, we first briefly explain the network modeling and evolutionary optimization for engineering applications. Next we give an introduction of SoECA, and present how to use this software tool for the EC researches and real-world applications. Then we show a network modeling technique to formulate the complex problems, and explain the design of evolutionary algorithms in engineering applications: logistics network models, communication network models, advanced planning and scheduling models, and advanced network models. Finally we discuss future research issues in the design of SoECA for engineering applications.

This paper focuses on diversity and convergence analysis of the membrane algorithm, QEPS, introduced by Zhang et al. in 2008. This is the first attempt to analyze the dynamic behaviour of membrane algorithms. We use four convergence measures and six population diversity measures to comparatively analyze the evolution processes of QEPS and its counterpart quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithm (QIEA) in an experimental way. Results show that QEPS achieves better balance between convergence and diversity than QIEA, which indicates QEPS has a stronger ability to balance exploration and exploitation than QIEA to avoid premature convergence problem and improve the algorithm performance. This work is very helpful to understand the advantages of the introduction of P systems into evolutionary algorithms.

This article investigates the dynamic features of social tagging vocabularies in Delicious, Flickr and YouTube from 2003 to 2008. It analyzes the evolution of the usage of the most popular tags in each of these three social networks. We find that for different tagging systems, the dynamic features reflect different cognitive processes. At the macro level, the tag growth obeys power-law distribution for all three tagging systems with exponents lower than one. At the micro level, the tag growth of popular resources in all three tagging systems follows a similar power-law distribution. Moreover, we find that the exponents of tag growth varied in different evolving stages of popular individual resources.

In this paper, robust descriptors are extracted to detect video copies generated by complicated transformations. The main contribution of the proposed method lies in three aspects. Firstly, the complicated transformations on video copies are identified and tackled to guarantee the extraction of robust descriptors. Secondly, a motion classification approach is proposed to divide the video into video groups. Thirdly, a two-stage matching scheme is implemented and the support vector machine is utilized to detect video copies. Extensive experiments are carried out using the data from TRECVID 2008 content-based video copy detection task. The proposed framework for video copy detection is very effective, and robust against spatial and temporal variations, in comparison with TRECVID participants and state-of-art algorithms.
