This paper presents the ac small signal modeling and analysis of trans Z-Source inverter (trans ZSI). Trans ZSI has been derived from quasi Z-source converter recently. While maintaining all prominent features of pervious Z-source inverters, trans ZSI has several unique advantages such as increased voltage gain, reduced voltage stress and reduced components of impedance network. In the process of designing control schemes for the trans ZSI, knowledge of the transfer function representing its unique dc impedance network is essential. In particular, the state space averaging method is employed to deduce the transfer functions. These transfer functions reveal the presence of right half plane (RHP) zero, which imposes some limitations on controller design. The RHP zero trajectories with variations in network parameters can be studied using classical root-locus analyses. Considering system dynamic characteristics, the trans ZSI design guidelines for passive component sizing is investigated by parameter sweeping of the small signal model based transfer functions. Simulation results are presented to verify the dynamic modeling identified in this paper.

Nowadays mobile phone data are an actual proxy for studying the users' social life and urban dynamics. In this paper we present the Sociometer, and analytical framework aimed at classifying mobile phone users into behavioral categories by means of their call habits. The analytical process starts from spatio-temporal profiles, learns the different behaviors, and returns annotated profiles. After the description of the methodology and its evaluation, we present an application of the Sociometer for studying city users of one small and one big city, evaluating the impact of big events in these cities.

We propose a Heterogeneous Multi Domain (HMD) architecture and protocols that uses ad hoc and cellular communications for enabling the exchange of information among users and smart environments. In particular, we focuss on the data communication and information diffusion related to tourism industry. Sensor's technology enables today the collection of various data related to the environment, such as temperature, location, and so on. This information can be delivered timely to users interacting with the environment. For example, a user might get direction in a building or in a park. Our architecture uses a network of gateways as an hierarchical virtual infrastructure to interconnect various network domains. Gateways are responsible for translation among different communication protocols, including routing, signalling, and security. HMD architecture is scalable, flexible and adaptive to QoS needs for interdomain communications. The protocol goal is to optimize such communications in terms of performance.

Protecting the environment from many threats has become a priority worldwide. The existing sensor technology enables the continuous monitoring of various parameters related to environment status, such as air quality and many others. In this paper we propose a secure architecture based on cellular networks to collect such sensors' information in real time. The cell phones can interact with the cellular network and the sensor networks at the same time. This unique ability can be leveraged to provide better authentication and security. We propose an architecture for these networks along with protocols that can be used to establish security. In our architecture, we use gateways, as intermediate nodes that are able to interact with both the cell phones and the sensor nodes.

This paper presents a new 3D video database (STESCAL3D -Stereoscopic Scalable 3D), made up of 3D stereo video sequences affected by different types of degradations. A set of subjective quality grades have been collected in three geographically displaced sites. The database contents have been produced using scalable video coding to encode 3D stereo video clips with distinct encoding parameters, after which different transmission degradations have been applied to the encoded video streams. These sequences have been subjectively evaluated by observers from three countries, Croatia, Portugal and Greece, using a purpose-built web-based platform. The subjective quality data compiled were processed, analyzed and compared to quality estimates obtained using several well-known objective measures. It is shown that the correlation between objective quality estimates and the subjective quality grades is in general low. Additionally the results show that stereo-view asymmetries in terms of encoding parameters and packet loss ratio (PLR) leads to low quality of experience. The video database and the subjective grades collection are publicly available with the referral link provided in the text.

Energy efficiency is an essential requirement on future computer architectures. Thereby, the efficiency of the communication will play an important role. Within this paper, we present an energy model for a unicast multi-hop communication. The model allows to derive predictions about the energy of a future computing platform. Further, it can be used to identify which components of the system or tasks related to communication have a significant influence on the overall energy and, hence, require special attention in the design phase. We discuss how values for processing delays and power consumption can be determined for a future computing platform and present values for a target platform. The energy model is applied to derive energy predictions for this platform.

The present paper concerns the members recommendation in social networks. The proposed approach is based on the semantic and social collaborative filtering technique (SSCF). In this approach, the formation of communities of users is based on the calculation of similarities between them and includes semantic and social dimensions. These two dimensions are respectively related to the calculation of similarity between the user and (1) his close friends and (2) those he trusts. A recommender system based on this approach has been developed. The preliminary experiments results show the importance of integrating the semantic and social dimensions in the recommendation process.

Paraphrase evaluation is used to determine whether two input sentences share a same meaning. The automatic analysis for paraphrase evaluation technology has a potential use in the area of information retrieval technology since correctly paraphrased sentences can be used as alternative input sentence in the retrieval process. In this paper, we suggest an evaluation method that is suitable for the Korean language by using morphological analysis. Using our method, we present preliminary results on how our automatic evaluation scores compare to the human evaluation scores.
