This paper presents a novel test vector ordering method for average power consumption minimization. The proposed method orders the test vectors taking into account the expected switching activity at the primary inputs and at a very small set of internal lines of the circuit under test. The computational time required by the proposed method is very small while the power reduction achieved is very close to the best, with respect to power reduction, most time-consuming method. Experimental results show that apart from average power reduction, the proposed method achieves significant peak power reduction too.

Using a set of geometric containers to speed up shortest path queries in a weighted graph has been proven a useful tool for dealing with large sparse graphs. Given a layout of a graph G =( V , E ), we store, for each edge ( u , v )∈ E , the bounding box of all nodes t ∈ V for which a shortest u - t -path starts with ( u , v ). Shortest path queries can then be answered by Dijkstraś restricted to edges where the corresponding bounding box contains the target. In this paper, we present new algorithms as well as an empirical study for the dynamic case of this problem, where edge weights are subject to change and the bounding boxes have to be updated. We evaluate the quality and the time for different update strategies that guarantee correct shortest paths in an interesting application to railway information systems, using real-world data from six European countries.

We investigate a call admission control (CAC) mechanism to provide service differentiation and fairness control in a WDM network with grooming capabilities. A WDM grooming network can handle different classes of traffic streams which differ by their bandwidth requirements. We assume that for each class, call interarrival and holding times are exponentially distributed. Using a Markov decision process approach, an optimal CAC policy is derived to provide service differentiation in the network. The policy iteration algorithm is used to numerically compute the optimal policy. Furthermore, we propose an heuristic decomposition algorithm with lower computational complexity and very good performance. Simulation results compare the performance of our proposed policy with that of complete sharing and complete partitioning policies.

QoS provisioning according to the DifTServ framework has raised the requirements for pricing mechanisms that preserve the potential and flexibility of DiffServ. At the same time, such mechanisms should reflect resource usage, allocate resources efficiently, reimburse costs or maximize service provision profits and lead customers to requesting services that will maximize their revenue. This work proposes a policy for pricing based on resource allocation by a particular category of DiffServ-based services for aggregated traffic in the case of transport networks. Our research takes into account the particularities that apply to the case of DiffServ services' provision over transport networks while imposing minimal overload and a-priori estimation of costs. The detailed pricing methodology is presented and experimentally evaluated.

In this paper we propose a Virtual Round Robin (VRR) gateway algorithm to enforce per-flow fair bandwidth allocation by keeping per-flow information. This mechanism achieves reasonably fair bandwidth allocation and is easily amenable to high-speed implementations. It uses a single FIFO queue with probabilistic drop-on-arrival. In our simulation study, we compare the performance VRR with other two algorithms, Random Early Detection (RED) and Flow Random Early Drop (FRED) (D. Lin and R. Morris, 1997). Our simulation results show that VRR outperforms RED and FRED in wide variety of scenarios.

The objective of the proposed application is the development of a new interactive application for the simulation of Ancient Greek technology works, with the use of advanced virtual reality and computer vision technologies. In order to achieve these objectives haptic interaction mechanisms and a gesture recognition system were implemented in a virtual environment platform. A novel collision detection method was developed and virtual reality agents were used in order to achieve the desired results. The developed system was evaluated by real users and conclusions were drawn concerning the potentiality of the proposed application.

The new economy is the result of the information revolution that promotes the emergence of networked, ubiquitous and collaborative service provision. Furthermore, the globalisation of trade has increased the number of competitors, driving the need for federated and networked business models. In this paper we argue that next generation ASP models could benefit from the use of the grid. We describe a grid-enabled architecture for coordinated resource sharing and problem solving in dynamic, multi-institutional ASP vendors.

In this paper, feature extraction of EEG signals during right and left motor imagery is tried. As the extraction method, directed information analysis, pattern recognition based on AR model, and mixture probability algorithm based on AR model is used. The learning and feature extraction method in pattern recognition are discussed through the experimental studies.
