In this work we present the basic concepts in the architecture of a peer-to-peer environment for monitoring multiple wireless sensor networks, called ShareSense. ShareSense, which is currently under development, uses JXTA as a peer-to-peer substrate. We demonstrate its basic functionalities using a simple application scenario, which utilizes multiple disparate wireless sensor networks. This application scenario involves monitoring of such networks using a separate management environment and a custom application GUI, as well as using Google Earth as an additional user interface.

In this paper, we present work that we have carried out in extending the ns-2 simulator in order to study and validate Quality of Service issues and related architectures. In the case of the DiffServ framework, simulation is valuable since an analytical approach of mechanisms and services is infeasible due to the aggregation and multiplexing of flows. This paper covers work in extending ns-2 functionality towards the direction of realistic traffic generation and a series of mechanisms defined by the DiffServ architecture. We have also extended ns-2 with the functionality of Bandwidth Brokers, which are entities for managing the resources and negotiating end to end resource reservations between domains. The Bandwidth Broker ns-2 implementation is useful for studying the related architectures and admission control procedures.

The field of Statistics is a conceptually rich domain where information is complex, huge in volume, and highly valuable and critical for Governmental institutes. The daily production of statistical information increases exponentially worldwide, making the processing of all this information a very difficult and time - consuming task. Therefore, efficient search, filtering and browsing techniques are needed to access and process statistical data in an effective way. We present semantically enhanced search approach to enhance e-Govemment searching services. We evaluate our proposals on the case of Intrastat, that is the method of collecting information and producing statistics on the export and import of goods between Member States of the European Union (EU), providing added - value web search services. We employ Semantic Web technologies to create an intelligent search engine based on modeling the systems' electronic catalogue using the OWL ontology language, combined with AJAX techniques for usability richness and responsiveness. We present a search tool based on these technologies, that consists of a) our novel ontology for the EU Combined Nomenclature codes serving as a knowledge base, b)a semantically enhanced search and recommendation module that improves the quality of the results and c) a "Search as you type" visualization and navigation module to provide a usable interface to be used in navigation and search.

In this work, we introduce metrics and a proposed procedure to measure the popularity of a website. We present two novel metrics, Promo and Promo(2) that take advantage of the internal link structure of a website, in order to gain important navigation information. This is indicative of the difficulty the user encounters to access a particular link and can be combined with statistics gained from the log files as a metric of popularity. The two metrics propose a different definition of the popularity of a web object in order to generate a sorted list of promotion values for a website's links. We have delivered a web tool that implements the proposed procedure in order to facilitate a site designer to manipulate his/her web server log data, receive recommendations and popularity results and finally proceed with changes in the structure or position of links. Overall, the experimental study using user-based accesses log data, has been encouraging and it has verified the effectiveness of the Promo metrics.

In this paper, we present a novel mechanism for the multicast congestion control over UMTS networks. The proposed mechanism is based on the well known TCP-Friendly Multicast Congestion Control (TFMCC) scheme. The key challenge in the design of the new scheme lies in improving the TFMCC mechanism to cope with the packet losses caused by either the temporary or the permanent degradation of the wireless channels. The proposed scheme introduces minor modifications in the UMTS nodes with respect to the computing power of the mobile terminals. Finally, our approach is implemented in the ns-2 network simulator and is evaluated it under various conditions.

This paper describes annotations for the Corpus of Spontaneous Japanese. The information we annotated to the corpus includes morphemes, clause units, dependency structures, summaries, and discourse structures. They are integrated in the form of XML. Morphological information was semi-automatically annotated to the transcribed text by reducing the human labor cost within the framework of morphological annotation that we proposed. Next, clause unites were detected based on the morphological information as basic units for our annotation. Then, dependency structures, summaries, discourse structures were annotated based on the clause units.

Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (MBMS), introduced in Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 6, is a point-to-multipoint downlink bearer service that addresses the need for the efficient usage of the expensive radio resources. Power control is one of the most important aspects in MBMS due to the fact that Node B's transmission power is a limited resource and must be shared among all MBMS users in a cell. Consequently, the analysis of transmitted power plays a fundamental role in the planning and optimization process of Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) radio access networks. This paper investigates several factors affecting Node B's transmission power levels such as, cell deployment, propagation models, Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, users' distributions and mobility issues. Finally, different transport channels for the transmission of the multicast data over the UTRAN interfaces are considered.

Along with the widespread deployment of the third generation cellular networks, the fast-improving capabilities of the mobile devices, content and service providers are increasingly interested in supporting multicast communications over wireless networks and in particular over universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS). To this direction, the third generation partnership project (3 GPP) is currently standardizing the multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) framework of UMTS. In this paper, we present an overview of the MBMS multicast mode of UMTS. We analytically present the multicast mode of the MBMS and analyze its performance in terms of packet delivery cost under various network topologies, cell types and multicast users' distributions. Furthermore, for the evaluation of the scheme, we consider different transport channels for the transmission of the data over the UTRAN interfaces.
