This paper presents an algorithm for the design of the wireless-optical broadband access network (WOBAN) considering the multi-hop wireless connection among subscribers. With our algorithm, we can specify the number of hop in which subscribers can access to optical network units (ONUs) or base stations (BSs). Our algorithm will give the optimum positions, as well as the number, of ONU required in the network, when the number of wireless connection hop is ***, the algorithm can also assign for the shortest routes connecting among subscribers. Noted that the placement, the number of ONU, and the routes connecting among subscribers, will vary with the designed number of hop as well as the constraints of wireless connection such as the limitation of signal power.

While much work has been done on applying GPU technology to computed tomography (CT) reconstruction algorithms, many of these implementations focus on smaller datasets that are better suited for medical applications. This paper proposes an irregular approach to the algorithm design which utilizes the GPU hardware's unique cache structure and employs small x-ray image data prefetches on the host to upload to the GPUs while the devices are operating on large contiguous sub-volumes of the reconstruction. This approach will improve the overall cache hit-rates and thus improve the performance of the massively multithreaded environment of the GPU. Overall, utilizing small prefetches of x-ray image data improved the volumetric pixel (voxel) processing rate when compared to utilizing large data prefetches which would minimize data transfers and kernel launches. Additionally, this approach does not sacrifice performance on small datasets and is thus suitable for medical and industrial applications. This work utilizes the CUDA programming environment and Nvidia's Tesla GPUs.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radars have attracted considerable attention for their ability to transmit multiple waveforms. These waveforms affect the range, Doppler and spatial performance. Recently, the concept of ambiguity function, which is an important mathematical tool for analysing and designing radar signals, has been extended to the MIMO radar case. In this study, the authors investigate the range and spatial properties of colocated MIMO radar based on range-spatial ambiguity function. Owing to spatial dependence of the matched filter output of MIMO radar, the spatial detection region is divided into multiple sections by spatial resolution. A new algorithm for designing orthogonal frequency-hopping waveforms according to the spatial section where the target may appear is proposed. This algorithm improves the peak sidelobe level of the matched filter output.

Tracking moving objects is one of the most common requirements in wireless sensor network applications. Most tracking schemes predict a target's location based on a single object movement model and periodically activate nearby sensors to monitor the target. However, in most real-world situations, a target exhibits multiple movement patterns. Thus, multiple movement models are required to accurately describe the target's movement. This paper proposes a tracking framework, called model-based object tracking system (MOTS), that allows a sensor network to adaptively apply the most suitable tracking mechanism to monitor the target under various circumstances. To fairly and accurately evaluate all tracking modules, this study further develops a monitoring-cost evaluator to evaluate the monitoring cost of the inactive tracking modules, and then designs three tracking module selection strategies, the Greedy Strategy, Min-Max Strategy, and Weighted Moving Average Strategy, to select the most effective tracking module to monitor the target in each period. A set of experiments is conducted to evaluate MOTS and compare it against existing tracking systems. The obtained results reveal that the cost efficiency of MOTS is considerably better than that of existing tracking systems.

In this paper, we study the influence of the number of objectives of a continuous multiobjective optimization problem on its hardness for evolution strategies which is of particular interest for many-objective optimization problems. To be more precise, we measure the hardness in terms of the evolution (or convergence) of the population toward the set of interest, the Pareto set. Previous related studies consider mainly the number of nondominated individuals within a population which greatly improved the understanding of the problem and has led to possible remedies. However, in certain cases this ansatz is not sophisticated enough to understand all phenomena, and can even be misleading. In this paper, we suggest alternatively to consider the probability to improve the situation of the population which can, to a certain extent, be measured by the sizes of the descent cones. As an example, we make some qualitative considerations on a general class of uni-modal test problems and conjecture that these problems get harder by adding an objective, but that this difference is practically not significant, and we support this by some empirical studies. Further, we address the scalability in the number of objectives observed in the literature. That is, we try to extract the challenges for the treatment of many-objective problems for evolution strategies based on our observations and use them to explain recent advances in this field.

In this paper, we study the problems of (approximately) representing a functional curve in 2-D by a set of curves with fewer peaks. Representing a function (or its curve) by certain classes of structurally simpler functions (or their curves) is a basic mathematical problem. Problems of this kind also find applications in applied areas such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Let f be an input piece-wise linear functional curve of size n. We consider several variations of the problems. (1) Uphill-downhill pair representation (UDPR): Find two nonnegative piecewise linear curves, one nondecreasing (uphill) and one nonincreasing (downhill), such that their sum exactly or approximately represents f. (2) Unimodal representation (UR): Find a set of unimodal (single-peak) curves such that their sum exactly or approximately represents f. (3) Fewer-peak representation (FPR): Find a piecewise linear curve with at most k peaks that exactly or approximately represents f. Furthermore, for each problem, we consider two versions. For the UDPR problem, we study its feasibility version: Given epsilon > 0, determine whether there is a feasible UDPR solution for f with an approximation error epsilon;its min-epsilon version: Compute the minimum approximation errror c* such that there is a feasible UDPR solution for f with error c*. For the UR problem, we study its min-k version: Given epsilon > 0, find a feasible solution with the minimum number k* of unimodal curves for f with an error epsilon;its min-epsilon version: given k > 0, compute the minimum error epsilon* such that there is a feasible solution with at most k unimodal curves for f with error epsilon*. For the FPR problem, we study its min-k version: Given epsilon > 0, find one feasible curve with the minimum number k* of peaks for f with an error epsilon;its min-epsilon version: given k >= 0, compute the minimum error epsilon* such that there is a feasible curve with at most k peaks for f with error epsilon*.

How do we most quickly fold a paper strip (modeled as a line) to obtain a desired mountain-valley pattern of equidistant creases (viewed as a binary string)? Define the folding complexity of a mountain-valley string as the minimum number of simple folds required to construct it. We first show that the folding complexity of a length-n uniform string (all mountains or all valleys), and hence of a length-n pleat (alternating mountain/valley), is O(lg(2) n). We also show that a lower bound of the complexity of the problems is Omega(lg(2) n/lg lg n). Next we show that almost all mountain-valley patterns require Omega(n/lg n) folds, which means that the uniform and pleat foldings are relatively easy problems. We also give a general algorithm for folding an arbitrary sequence of length n in O(n/lg n) folds, meeting the lower bound up to a constant factor.

It has been a long-standing open problem to determine the exact randomized competitiveness of the 2-server problem, that is, the minimum competitiveness of any randomized online algorithm for the 2-server problem. For deterministic algorithms the best competitive ratio that can be obtained is 2 and no randomized algorithm is known that improves this ratio for general spaces. For the line, Bartal et al. (1998) [2] give a 155/78 competitive algorithm, but their algorithm is specific to the geometry of the line. We consider here the 2-server problem over Cross Polytope Spaces M-24. We obtain an algorithm with competitive ratio of and show that this ratio is best possible. This algorithm gives the second non-trivial example of metric spaces with better than 2-competitive ratio. The algorithm uses a design technique called the knowledge state technique a method not specific to M-24. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
