Data produced in scientific and industrial applications is growing exponentially but most resource middleware systems lack of appropriate support for data and metadata management. In particular easy and intuitive retrieval of data for later use is a serious problem. In this context the paper proposes a pragmatic approach for data management of distributed data with focus on appropriate means for data organization improving data retrieval. The paper presents the key concepts and architecture of a dedicated data management system for sharing data located on heterogeneous storage resources. The different specifics of storage systems such as data object names, data locations, and data access methods are abstracted to allow transparent data access. Moreover, the system provides means for data structuring and organization by supporting custom data models and annotation of individual metadata on data objects. Current development status of the system is illustrated by presenting an integration with the UNICORE Rich Client which has been validated in the context of the AeroGrid project.

Overview and experimental comparative study of parallel algorithms of asynchronous cellular at simulation is presented. The algorithms are tested for the model of physicochemical process of surface CO + O-2 reaction over the supported Pd nanoparticles on different parallel computers. For testing we use shared memory computers, distributed memory computers (i.e. clusters), and graphical processing unit. Characterization of these algorithms in respect of methods of parallelism maintenance is given.

Purpose - The first purpose of this paper is to propose a scalable video coding scheme providing flexibility in video transmission, especially under wireless environment. The second purpose is to analyze the problem of lengthening the key frame interval in distributed video coding (DVC), and propose an approach to improve the rate-distortion (RD) performance of DVC for long group-of-frames (GOF) size. Design/methodology/approach - In the proposed scheme, a base layer is first obtained from an H.264 coder. When a DVC coder is then used to code the enhancement layer, information in processing the base layer is extracted and analyzed to make multiple side-information available and reduce error accumulation for DVC coding, thus further improving the performance of the DVC coder. Findings - By dividing video into base and enhancement layers, the combined video coding architecture enables a flexible video transmission. In addition, several methods are used to improve the RD performance in DVC coding. Simulation shows that the proposed scheme outperforms non-scalable DVC for long GOF size. Originality/value - Prediction from the decoding loop in base layer encoder largely reduces enhancement layer spatial redundancy. Multiple side-information provides better estimation for DVC reconstruction. Long prediction loop is more reliable because error accumulation is effectively compensated.

Traditionally reasoning systems have been implemented using symbolic methods of artificial intelligence. Connectionist methods of implementing reasoning systems form an alternative paradigm. Among the connectionist reasoning systems two types of representational methods can be used. They are i) localist and ii) distributed representational methods. In the literature, some localist methods for reasoning were used in connectionist systems. Since those systems used localist representations, advantages of distributed representations are not obtainable by them. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a connectionist knowledge based system which integrates a connectionist predicate logic reasoning system and a connectionist semantic network. The system uses distributed coarse-coded representations. The connectionist predicate logic system supports both simple rules as well as a complex rule having multiple conjunctions. distributed representations have advantages of increased fault tolerance, graceful degradation of performance;neural plausibility, cognitive modeling and paralleldistributedprocessing. The system besides showing above features allows the communication between these two connectionist systems and makes it possible to access the information of attributes and corresponding values from the connectionist semantic network for the entities used in the connectionist predicate logic system.

Solutions of numerically ill-posed least squares problems Ax approximate to b for A is an element of R-mxn by Tikhonov regularization are considered. For D is an element of R-pxn, the Tikhonov regularized least squares functional is given by J(sigma) = parallel to Ax - b parallel to(2)(W) + 1/sigma(2) parallel to D(x - x(0))parallel to(2)(2) where matrix W is a weighting matrix and x(0) is given. Given a priori estimates on the covariance structure of errors in the measurement data b, the weighting matrix may be taken as W = W-b which is the inverse covariance matrix of the mean 0 normally distributed measurement errors e in b. If in addition x(0) is an estimate of the mean value of x, and sigma is a suitable statistically-chosen value, J evaluated at its minimizer x(sigma) approximately follows a chi(2) distribution with (m) over tilde = m + p - n degrees of freedom. Using the generalized singular value decomposition of the matrix pair [W(b)(1/2)AD], sigma can then be found such that the resulting J follows this chi(2) distribution. But the use of an algorithm which explicitly relies on the direct solution of the problem obtained using the generalized singular value decomposition is not practical for large-scale problems. Instead an approach using the Golub-Kahan iterative bidiagonalization of the regularized problem is presented. The original algorithm is extended for cases in which x(0) is not available, but instead a set of measurement data provides an estimate of the mean value of b. The sensitivity of the Newton algorithm to the number of steps used in the Golub-Kahan iterative bidiagonalization, and the relation between the size of the projected subproblem and sigma are discussed. Experiments presented contrast the efficiency and robustness with other standard methods for finding the regularization parameter for a set of test problems and for the restoration of a relatively large real seismic signal. An application for image deblurring also validates the appr

Numerical modeling of 3D thermomechanical problems is a complex and time-consuming issue. Adaptive techniques are powerful tools to perform efficiently such modeling using the FEM analysis. During the adaptation computational workloads change unpredictably at the runtime, therefore dynamic load balancing is required. This paper presents new developments in the parallel FIFA package NuscaS;they allow for extending its functionality and increasing performance. In particular, by including dynamic load balancing capabilities, this package allows us to solve efficiently adaptive FEM problems with 3D unstructured meshes on distributed-memory parallel computers such as PC-clusters. For solving sparse systems of equations, NuscaS uses the message-passing paradigm to implement the PCG iterative method with geometric multigrid as a preconditioner. The implementation of load balancing is based on the proposed performance model.
