As a result of the multimedia rapid growth, there has been a huge increase in the amount of information generated and shared by people all over the world. Demand for large-scale multimedia storage system is growing rapidly. This paper describes the design and implementation of the Two-level metadata server for distributed multimedia storage system (DMSS). The DMSS divides the logical view of the stored data from the physical view. The logical view is managed by the metadata server which is called GMS (global metadata server), and the physical view is managed by a component of storage servers which is called LMS (local metadata server). Adopting LMS, each storage server can maintain its own storage resources and metadata and data independently, and can offer storage service independently. The DMSS allows the application servers to access the storage servers directly and in parallel providing very high performance.

Precise robot positioning is important for many applications in indoor environments. Current solutions to the indoor localization problem are either both unreliable and inaccurate, or very expensive. In this paper we propose, design and build a low-cost, robust and accurate indoor localization system using laser light sources. The system calculates the coordinates of a robotic arm by using triangulation algorithms with precisely measured values of the angles of the receiver with respect to the three laser emitters. A system of three rotating lasers and receiver unit was built and deployed in the wing of an aircraft. Using this system, a robotic arm could be localized accurately within error margins defined approximately by Gaussian distributions centered at the objectpsilas true coordinate values and with standard deviations of 0.19 mm, 0.11 mm and 0.34 mm in the x, y and z coordinate directions respectively. The system was also used to detect vertical drop in the robotic arm due to its weight as it extends to perform fitting operations on the skin of the wing. Feedback from the laser localization system was used to adjust the position of the tip of the robotic arm in order to perform a sequence of high precision docking tasks within the aircraft wing.

In this paper, a class of hybrid impulsive systems with time delays and stochastic effects are considered. We obtain some criteria on the global exponential stability in mean square for the impulsive stochastic delayed systems. To do this, differential inequalities and ℒ-operator inequalities are developed. An example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.

Testing NoC-based systems mainly relies on reusing the Network-on-Chip architecture as the test access mechanism (TAM). This, however, implies that the core's test wrapper is supplied with full NoC channel width even if there is a mismatch between the two. How to effectively and efficiently make better utilization of the NoC channels for test data transferring is therefore an interesting and challenging problem. In this paper, we propose to combine a new wrapper design with interleaved test scheduling. Compared to [8], the proposed method can achieve better NoC channel utilization for test without manipulating test frequencies, which not only reduces test power, but also saves design effort for the test engineers. Consequently, the testing time of the NoC-based system is considerably reduced with the proposed technique (especially under stringent power constraints), as shown in the experimental results on circuits crafted from ITC02 benchmarks.

In novel market-oriented resource sharing models, resource consumers pay for the resource usage and expect that non-functional requirements for the application execution, termed as quality of service (QoS), are satisfied. QoS is negotiated between two parties following the specific negotiation protocols and is recorded using service level agreements (SLAs). However, most of the existing work assumes that the communication partners know about the SLA negotiation protocols and about the SLA templates before entering the negotiation. However, this is a contradictory assumption, if we consider computational grids and novel, commercially oriented computing clouds where consumers and providers meet each other dynamically. In this paper, we present novel meta-negotiation and SLA-mapping solutions for grid workflows bridging the gap between current QoS models and grid workflows, one of the most successful grid programming paradigms. We illustrate the open research issues with a real world case study. Thereafter, we present document models for the specification of meta-negotiations and SLA-mappings. We discuss the architecture for the management of meta-negotiations and SLA-mappings as well as integration of the architecture into a grid workflow management framework.

Power consumption in scan-based testing is a major concern nowadays. In this paper, we present a new X-fllling technique to reduce both shift power and capture power during scan tests, namely LSC-filling . The basic idea is to use as few as possible X-bits to keep the capture power under the peak power limit of the circuit under test (CUT), while using the remaining X-bits to reduce the shift power to cut down the CUT's average power consumption during scan tests as much as possible. In addition, by carefully selecting the X-filling order, our X-filling technique is able to achieve lower capture power when compared to existing methods. Experimental results on ISCAS'89 benchmark circuits show the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

Large test data volume and high test power are two of the major concerns for the industry when testing large integrated circuits. With given test cubes in scan-based testing, the ldquodonpsilat-carerdquo bits can be exploited for test data compression and/or test power reduction. Prior work either targets only one of these two issues or considers to reduce test data volume and scan shift power together. In this paper, we propose a novel capture power-aware test compression scheme that is able to keep scan capture power under a safe limit with little loss in test compression ratio. Experimental results on benchmark circuits demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach.
