Rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ) logic is a digital circuit technology that in recent years has presented itself as an alternative to semiconductors in the application of ultra high speed, very low power applications. The optimal timing of digital circuits operating at hundreds of GHz is still a complex problem for both RSFQ and semiconductor technologies. The fact that most RSFQ gates require a clock signal to function makes this even more complex. Various RSFQ timing schemes have been adapted from semiconductor design methodologies, and some have been designed specifically for RSFQ. Currently, synchronous clocking schemes outperform other schemes, but with the scale of RSFQ circuits ever increasing, the proper use of timing schemes are becoming more crucial. This paper describes a new asynchronous self-timing scheme where the details of clock distribution and clocking are built into the logic gates. Tests were done on the newly developed asynchronous logic gates and an asynchronous full adder was implemented and tested
In this paper we propose a secure autoconfiguration model for Manet. Our design is based in a distributed and self-organization certification service, which provides node identification and authentication for the auto...

Ubiquitous computing and universal network connectivity have given rise to expectations of building a Digital Society, where many aspects of business and social activities may be accomplished by remote participants. Intelligent, context-aware, and workflow-centric collaboration is an essential prerequisite to fulfill that expectation. EkSarva is a framework, which enables realization of such collaborations in diverse domains. This is accomplished by identifying the key concepts and their inter-relationships (dubbed the PPP/SST paradigm), which form the foundation of this framework. The key concepts include: (a) Project, (b) Person, (c) Place, (d) Signal, (e) Situation, and (f) Transcript. This paper describes how these concepts collectively can give rise to an intelligent collaboration environment.

Algorithm visualizations graphically illustrate how algorithms work. In prior ethnographic studies of a computer science course in which students were required to construct and present their own algorithm visualizations, we observed that visualizations based on storylines tended to stimulate increased audience interest and involvement. This observation, coupled with the empirical research that substantiates the value of stories as mnemonic devices, raises an interesting research question: Do visualizations with storylines actually help students remember the procedural behavior of an algorithm better than visualizations that do not involve storylines? To investigate this question, we conducted an experimental study that compared the memorability of algorithm descriptions involving differing degrees of spatial and verbal embellishment. The study failed to detect significant differences. We reflect on our lack of significant results, and suggest two alternative paths for future research into the value of story-based algorithm visualization
In recent work, we introduced a generalization of ECOC learning under the theory of recursive error correcting codes. We named it RECOC (Recursive ECOC) learning. If long output codewords are allowed, as in the case o...

QoS solutions for Core Internet Networks require that we pay special attention to scalability, as they deal with a lot of flows and demand many resources. In this paper, integrated solutions from the physical layer (SDH/SONET and DTM) to the IP layer (IntServ and DiffServ) are analysed and proposed, concentrating not only on scalability, but also on QoS guarantees.

In this paper, the performance of turbo coded signals are investigated over a new channel model, denoted as 1/spl plusmn/D/sup n//Partial Response Fading Channels (PRFC) with imperfect phase reference. The combined effects of the 1/spl plusmn/D/sup n//PRFC and nonideal coherent receiver on the phase of the received amplitude and of a noisy carrier reference are considered. The numerical results demonstrate the error performance degradation due to both amplitude fading and phase noise process.
In modern circuit design, the Shannon decomposition of switching functions is widely used. On the other hand, in information theory of telecommunication, the Shannon entropy used as a measure to represent the informat...

Whereas it is generally acknowledged that code tangling reduces the quality of software and that aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is a means of addressing this problem, there is — as yet — no clear definition or ch...
