Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANET) are employing heterogeneous technologies now a days to meet the increasing demands of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications such as enriched multimedia, video conferencing, gaming and online collaboration. Deployment and maintenance cost for infrastructures are also a major concern. This work proposes a framework, capable of catering multiple technologies simultaneously (such as local area network, wide area networks and cellular networks), that deploys wired and wireless integrated technologies to exploit the advantages of both. Therefore, it offers the architecture based on radio over fiber technology to meet the future requirements of high data rate for Road Vehicle Communication (RVC) in VANETs and it comes up with the most important and perhaps desperately needed feature of ‘Future technology Support’ yielding very high data rates support. Several traditionally deployed architectures are striving to come up with the future needs but due to their various limitations they were unable to attain their expected outcomes. The proposed RoF based architecture justifies its need inducing a true value and powerful features to dramatically enhance the overall performance of the entire system. Several evaluation parameters have been chosen that clearly present the strength of proposed RoF framework and prove that RoF framework is the better option for the service providers in the area of ITS applications.

We have created a visual representation called Stratified Attribute Tracking (SAT) Diagram to explicate trends that are otherwise implicit in learning analytics data. SAT Diagram is a unified graph that enables tracking individual attribute values in a dataset and stratifying them according to criteria set by the researcher. SAT diagram represents the transition of samples between strata across attributes. In this paper we introduce the SAT diagram and illustrate how to generate, interpret and analyze them. We believe the process of SAT diagram generation would enable exploring deeper research questions on learning data.

First year undergraduate students in engineering often face difficulties in solving engineering drawing (ED) problems. The potential reasons for this could be either the students' deficiency in visualizing spatial relationships or the instructional method used. We have developed a three-hour MR training using Blender 3D, an open source 3D animation software. In this paper, we present experimental evidence of the effect of our training on the improvement of problem solving skills in ED. We analyzed the results and found them to be significant. Also, the qualitative analysis of students' responses to the open ended questions revealed that, they found training useful in resolving their difficulties in solving ED problems.

This paper proposes an efficient architecture for FPGA implementation of MGS-QRD in MIMO wireless communication systems. The proposed architecture is based on the Hardware/Software (HW/SW) design. To achieve the efficient architecture, the systolic architecture is applied to MGS-QRD and then the conventional QR triangular array of (2m 2 +2m+1) cells onto a linear architecture of m+1 cell is employed to reduce the number of required QR processors. The reduced cells are constructed with a number of basic processing elements such as multipliers and adders etc. The basic elements are constructed by HW architectures. The SW of PowerPC core is used to control to achieve the QR decomposition. In this paper, utilization resource and operation performance in term of equivalent gates and operating cycles are shown.

Automatic plant identification via computer vision techniques has been greatly important for a number of professionals, such as environmental protectors, land managers, and foresters. In this paper, we conduct a comparative study on leaf image recognition and propose a novel learning-based leaf image recognition technique via sparse representation (or sparse coding) for automatic plant identification. In our learning-based method, in order to model leaf images, we learn an overcomplete dictionary for sparsely representing the training images of each leaf species. Each dictionary is learned using a set of descriptors extracted from the training images in such a way that each descriptor is represented by linear combination of a small number of dictionary atoms. Moreover, we also implement a general bag-of-words (BoW) model-based recognition system for leaf images, used for comparison. We experimentally compare the two approaches and show unique characteristics of our sparse coding-based framework. As a result, efficient leaf recognition can be achieved on public leaf image dataset based on the two evaluated methods, where the proposed sparse coding-based framework can perform better.
