Performance of high resolution image process is one of the kernel problems that must be addressed to promote the development of embedded system. In this study, a scalable bi-level parallel object detection framework based on heterogeneous manycore cluster was established to improve object detection performance for embedded device. First, the fundamental principle of local binary pattern and cascade classifier combined object detection method was introduced as the basis of the research. Second, a set of key algorithm design to parallel access and process image for object detection based on Parallella manycore platform was proposed to improve the detection speed and the computational resource efficiency on single node. third, a Message Passing Interface based distributed framework was established for cluster environment to further improve the performance. Finally, an experiment of face detection application was conducted to evaluate the accuracy and performance of this framework. the experimental results show that on one node, the proposed object detection system provides 7.8 times speedup than a serial algorithm on dual-core ARM which was integrated in Parallella with similar accuracy, and in cluster environment, the performance will be doubled. the results demonstrate the promising application of the proposed framework in the field of object detection performance improvement.

this paper focuses on using big data technology to solve the operational reliability evaluation problem in the power distribution system. Operational reliability evaluation means the capability to forecast the future reliability from the current system. this becomes a challenge problem as the power distribution network has been even more complex. Meanwhile, the safety and reliability are considered more and more critical for the network. therefore, it needs to new approach to evaluate the operational state of power distribution system. For such a purpose, this paper proposes an operational reliability evaluation method based on the big data of distribution network and big data processing technology. Based on the operational reliability index system of distribution network, this paper firstly analyzed the main influencing factors of each reliability indexes by using parallel association rules mining method. then, by using these factors as input variables, an evaluation model was established based on artificial neural network. Based on the evaluation model and real-time data, the operational reliability can be obtained.

this paper presents the cloud computing environments, network principles and methods for graphical development in realistic naval simulation, naval robotics and virtual interactions. the aim of this approach is to achieve a good simulation quality in large networked environments using open source solutions designed for educational purposes. Realistic rendering of maritime environments requires near real-time frameworks with enhanced computing capabilities during distance interactions. E-Navigation concepts coupled withthe last achievements in virtual and augmented reality will enhance the overall experience leading to new developments and innovations. We have to deal with a multiprocessing situation using advanced technologies and distributed applications using remote ship scenario and automation of ship operations.

Clinical Decision Support Systems (DSSs) have been applied to medical scenarios by computerizing a set of clinical guidelines of interest, withthe final aim of simulating the process followed by the physicians. In this context, fuzzy logic has been profitably used for modeling clinical guidelines affected by uncertainty and improving the interpretability of clinical DSSs through its expressivity close to natural language. However, the task of computerizing clinical guidelines in terms of fuzzy if-then rules can be complex and, often, requires technical capabilities not owned by physicians. In order to face this issue, this paper introduces a fuzzy knowledge editing framework expressly devised and designed to simplify the procedures necessary to codify clinical guidelines in terms of fuzzy if-then rules and linguistic variables. this framework is described with respect to a specific real case regarding the formalization of clinical recommendations extracted from the GOLD guidelines, which contain the best evidence for diagnosing and managing the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

the path towards Industrie 4.0, requires that factory automation problems cope withthe cyber-physical system complexity and its challenges. Some practical experiences and literature in the field testify that the role of the database management systems is becoming central for control and automation technology in the new industrial scenario. this article proposes database-centric technology and architectures that seamlessly integrate networking, artificial intelligence and real-time control issues into a unified model of computing. the proposed methodology is also viable for the development of simulation and rapid prototyping tools for smart and advanced industrial automation.

Apache Spark framework, which is the implementation of Resilient distributed Datasets(RDD), is used instead of MapReduce on recent data processing models of Hadoop ecosystem. In this paper, we evaluated the performance and resource usage of real world workloads on scale-up and scale-out clusters using the in-memory caching feature of Spark framework. In our experiments, scale-up processed data more efficiently than scale-out in write intensive workloads such as Sort and Scan, whereas scale-out had strength in those utilizing iterative algorithms such as Join, Pagerank and KMeans. Considering the efficiency in physical factors including performance per watt and the physical space each occupies, we show that it is more advantages to use scale up cluster than scale out.

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are ad-hoc networks where no infrastructure exists and where some of the participating nodes can also act as routers to forward traffic on behalf of others. WMNs have been proposed for various applications and can greatly vary in terms of size (from a handful of nodes to thousands) and complexity (static or mobile nodes, scarce or dense etc.). Efficient and robust IP routing is essential for these networks and its performance can greatly affect all other network performance metrics such as throughput, delay, packet delivery ratio etc. A lot of routing algorithms have been proposed ever since the advent of WMNs and research is still ongoing on the topic. All of the proposed solutions are based on the principle of distributed routing where routers exchange signalization messages in order to discover the network topology. In the present paper we propose a centralized routing based on the relatively recent paradigm of Software Defined networking (SDN). We have used NS3 to simulate a dynamic mesh network where a subset of nodes are mobile and a source host generates traffic destined to a sink host. We evaluated four common network performance metrics namely packet delivery ratio, packet drop ratio due to route unavailability, average throughput and signalling overhead. By making appropriate assumptions, we compared our solution withthree of the most widely used routing protocols for WMNs namely DSDV, AODV and OLSR. Our simulations demonstrate that, under certain conditions, our solution outperforms the aforementioned distributed routing algorithms and can improve network performance.
