In this paper we describe a reduced model structure that describes the hydraulic head h for ground water flow models as a linear combination of a set of spatial patterns P with time-varying coefficients r. We discuss a data-driven technique to extract patterns P (EOFs) that span a subspace of model results that captures most of the relevant information of the original model. We make use of the patterns to obtain a reduced dynamic model for the time-varying coeffecients via a Galerkin Projection. This technique substitutes h within the PDE for groundwater now by the reduced model structure P T r. We acquire a dynamic reduced model for dr/dt by multiplying the outcome with P T . The vector dimension of r is often small compared to the original dimension of h, and a model which operates within a lower dimension requires less computational time. The method has heen evaluated for a realistic case, whereby we achieved a maximal reduction in computational time of ≈ 80. The reduced model has a promising prospect as its efficiency increases whenever the number of grid cells increases and the parameterization of the original model grows in complexity.

Researchers have used number of nodes to measure the extensibility of a topology. However, this metric is not very evident. In this paper, we introduce a specific metric called extensible density to measure the extensibilities of interconnection networks. Some topologies have high degree of extensibilities, but efficient parallel algorithms can apply only on a special subclass of these topologies. Furthermore, we extend the concept of density to measure the applicable extent of parallel algorithms.

This paper presents a physically based time series model that relates groundwater level fluctuations to precipitation and evapotranspiration. The model is based on the nonlinear relation between the degree of water saturation of the subsoil and the groundwater recharge. The model is written in state-space form, while the extended Kalman filter is used to estimate the state equation. An example application shows that the model performs very well and that the addition of physical knowledge is a valuable extension to standard linear transfer function-noise models.

Aboard current ships, such as the DDG 51, engineering control and damage control activities are manpower intensive. It is anticipated that, for future combatants, the workload demand arising from operation of systems under conditions of normal steaming and during casualty response will need to be markedly reduced via automated monitoring, autonomous control, and other technology initiatives. Current DDG 51 class ships can be considered as a manpower baseline and under Condition III typical engineering control involves seven to eight watchstanders at manned stations in the Central Control Station, the engine rooms and other machinery spaces. In contrast to this manning level, initiatives such as DD 21 and the integrated engineering plant (IEP) envision a partnership between the operator and the automation system, with more and more of the operator's functions being shifted to the automation system as manning levels decrease. This paper describes some human systems integration studies of workload demand reduction and, consequently, manning reduction that can be achieved due to application of several advanced technology concepts. Advanced system concept studies in relation to workload demand are described and reviewed including. Piecemeal applications of diverse automation and remote control technology concepts to selected high driver tasks in current DDG 51 activities. Development of the reduced ship's crew by virtual presence system that will provide automated monitoring and display to operators of machinery health, compartment conditions, and personnel health. The IEP envisions the machinery control system as a provider of resources that are used by various consumers around the ship. Resource needs and consumer priorities are at all times dependent upon the ship's current mission and the availability of equipment pawnbrokers.

This work considers the problem of metamorphosis interpolation between two freeform planar curves. Given two planar parametric curves, the curvature signature of the two curves is linearly blended, yielding a gradual change that is not only smooth but also employs intrinsic curvature shape properties, and hence is highly appealing. In order to be able to employ this curvature blending, we present a constructive scheme to derive curvature signatures of parameter curves. Additionally, we propose a scheme to reconstruct a curve from its curvature signature.

As the Internet is shifting towards a reliable QoS-aware network, accurately synchronized clocks distributed in the Internet become more significant. Network Time Protocol (NTP) is broadly deployed in the Internet for clock synchronization among distributed hosts, but it is weak in asymetric paths, i.e., it cannot accurately estimate the clock offset between two hosts when the forward and backward paths between them have different one-way delays. In this paper, we focus on estimating the offset and the skew of a clock from one-way delay measurement between two hosts, and propose an idea for improvement of such estimations, which reduces estimation errors in case that the forward and backward paths have different bandwidths that is one of main factors of the asymmetric delays.

In the Internet, a statistical perspective of global traffic flows has been considered as an important key to network management. Nonetheless, it is expensive or sometime difficult to measure statistics of each flow separately. Therefore, it is of practical importance to infer unobservable statistical characteristics of individual flows front characteristics of the aggregated-flows that are easily measured at some links (router interfaces) in the network. In this paper, we propose a new approach to such inference problems, and provide some examples of inferring unobservable arrival rates of packets on each flow front measurement of the aggregated-flows. Our method is applicable to cases not covered by the existing methods for the OD traffic matrix inference. We also show simulation results, which indicate potential of our approach.
