In this paper, we present several considerations centered around the data-driven system approaches. We briefly explore three main issues: the evolving relationship between off-line and on-line data processing methods, the complementary relationship between the data-driven and model-based methods, and the perspectives of data-driven system approaches. Instead of offering solutions to data-driven system problems, which is impossible at the present level of knowledge and research, in this article we aim at categorizing and classifying open problems, exploring possible directions that may offer alternatives or potentials for the four key fields of interests: control, decision making, scheduling, and fault diagnosis.

Silicon nitride microring resonators were demonstrated as chemical sensors. The microring devices,with diameter of 100 μm, were fabricated using complementary metal oxide semiconductor(CMOS)-compatible technology, and a high Q factor of 15000 was realized with free spectrum range(FSR) of 2 nm. The structures were further packaged to perform as chemical sensors, and their functionality was proved using deionized water(DI water)and ethanol as detecting mediums. Lastly, the packaged chips were used to detect glucose solutions with various concentrations, and a detection capability of refractive index change of 10–3refractive index unit(RIU) was obtained.

Using a nonperturbative method, we study the exact entanglement dynamics of two two-level dipole-dipole interacting atoms coupled to a common non-Markovian reservoir with different coupling strengths. Besides analyzing the conditions for the existence of a steady state, we find that, although the dipole-dipole interaction could destroy the stationary entanglement, a relatively strong dipole-dipole interaction does suppress disentanglement in the initial period of time. These results are helpful for the practical engineering of entanglement in the future.

With the emergence of multiple cloud providers of Infrastructure-as-a-Service, it becomes possible to envision a near-future when high-performance computing users could combine services from different clouds to access huge numbers of resources. However, as more administrative privileges are exposed to end users, providers are required to deploy network security measures that present challenges to the network virtualization technologies that are needed to enable inter-cloud communication. This paper studies these challenges and proposes techniques to enable unmodified applications on resources across distinct clouds. The techniques are implemented in TinyViNe, an extension to ViNe, a virtual networking technology for distributed resources in different administrative domains. The results of evaluating TinyViNe on a WAN-based testbed across three sites are reported for a bioinformatics application (BLAST) and MPI benchmarks. The results confirm that TinyViNe enables cross-cloud computing while having little impact on application performance. TinyViNe also has auto-configuration and ¿download-and-run¿ capabilities for easy deployment by users who are not knowledgeable about networking.

In this paper, we present a fully-integrated impulse radio UWB transmitter based on a newly-developed ultrafast pulse circuit technique, distributed waveform generator (DWG). A DWG time-interleaves multiple digital pulse generators, and then combines all generated pulses using a wideband on-chip transmission line. A DWG is low power and fully reconfigurable compared to other UWB pulse generation and shaping solutions. It also facilitates the implementation of digital modulation schemes such as on-off keying (OOK) and pulse position modulation (PPM) in the transmitter. A chip prototype with a 10-tap, 10 GS/s dual-polarity DWG was designed and implemented in 0.18 mum standard digital CMOS. The transmitter's pulse rate can be varied from 16 MHz to 2.5 GHz with an energy efficiency of 25 pj/pulse. The transmitted pulses with OOK and PPM modulation are successfully demonstrated using 32 Mb/s PRBS data.

Ultrafast pulse generation and detection are pivotal functions in ultra-wideband (UWB) impulse radios. This paper shows that digitally-assisted distributed circuit techniques provide an energy-efficient, reconfigurable solution for both functions, as demonstrated in two new circuits: a pulse generator that can generate reconfigurable pulse waveforms with sub-nanosecond time resolution, and a multi-GHz analog correlator that incorporates reconfigurable local template pulse generation. A UWB impulse radio was developed based on these new circuits with chip prototypes implemented in 0.18-mum standard digital CMOS. It was characterized using UWB antennas, and achieved an energy efficiency of 25-pJ/pulse for the transmitter and 190-pJ/pulse for the receiver at 250 MHz pulse rate in the measurement.
