As memory transactions have been proposed as a language-level replacement for locks, there is growing need for well-defined semantics. In contrast to database transactions, transaction memory (TM) semantics are complicated by the fact that programs may access the same memory locations both inside and outside transactions. Strongly atomic semantics, where non-transactional accesses are treated as implicit single-operation transactions, remain difficult to provide without specialized hardware support or significant performance overhead. As an alternative, many in the community have informally proposed that a single global lock semantics [18, 10], where transaction semantics are mapped to those of regions protected by a single global lock, provide an intuitive and efficiently implementable model for programmers. In this paper, we explore the implementation and performance implications of single global lock semantics in a weakly atomic STM from the perspective of Java, and we discuss why even recent STM implementations fall short of these semantics. We describe a new weakly atomic Java STM implementation that provides single global lock semantics while permitting concurrent execution, but we show that this comes at a significant performance cost. We also propose and implement various alternative semantics that loosen single lock requirements while still providing strong guarantees. We compare our new implementations to previous ones, including a strongly atomic STM. [24] Copyright 2008 ACM.

Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) require the ability to generalize from previously observed attacks to detect even new or slight variation records of known attacks. As an intrusion detection system can be regarded as classification problem, we use Artificial Neural networks for detection. Using a benchmark study and set from the KDD (Knowledge Data Discovery and Data Mining) competition designed by DARPA and Multi-layered perceptron neural network, this Paper will aim to solve a multi class problem using MLP in to distinguish the attack records from normal ones, and also identify the attack type. In addition, it shows how to use Tikhonov regularization parameter to optimize the optimal network architecture in order to increase the system performance. The results show that the designed system is capable of classifying records with 98.34% accuracy with two hidden layers of neuron. Finally, the performance of the benchmark study is compared with our results.
We propose a novel execution model for the implicitly parallel execution of data parallel programs in the presence of general I/O operations. This model is called hybrid because it combines the advantages of the stand...

The authors present their latest research results and developments of a code generator for Matlab/Simulink block diagrams and to download the generated code onto safety related systems such as a safety PLC (programmable logic controller). An example demonstrates the different stages for code generation, evaluation and conversion before such code can be used in process industries. Systematic approaches are necessary when such source code is embedded in process units. To the best knowledge of the authors, Matlab/Simulink source code has not been transferred on safety PLC before. Matlab/Simulink is an advanced and matured programming environment, especially for simulations of engineering processes and systems. Hardly no hardware exists, when it comes to download the developed algorithms and to use it in real world applications and so far this approach is the only one for using developed and tested Matlab/Simulink software on an safety related system.

The environment protection is one of the most actual problems, because of the fact that the pollution became a major danger for the planet life. The environment pollution is caused because some pollution agents are in a too big quantity and for la long time that they become dangerous for the human health, for the flora, for the fauna and for the constructions too. The pollution sources can be classified in natural and artificial sources. The quality of the environment from a specific area at a certain time can be appreciated by: a) the air quality;b) the water quality;c) the soil quality;d) the health level of the population;e) the deficit of animals and plants species that are accounted for. In the paper there are given the urban traffic on the principal routs inside the Cluj-Napoca municipality. The traffic is the constituent part of the research activity of the national project having the destination the monitoring of the noise and vibrations into an urban agglomeration, applied to the Cluj-Napoca town. This study is the first step for the "noise map" asked for the Romania integration in the European Union for the team researchers of TUCN under the direction of the prof. dr. ing. Mariana ARGHIR.

The paper contains our study regarding the reduction of urban noise using the sonic barrier walls as to the EMPARA procedure, which is based on the simplified standard method for measurements and computing of surface traffic noise inside urban agglomeration, as they are given in SRM2 laws (Netherlands standards). The studies are made taking into account all parameters that characterize the noise attenuation. The graphical representations are made considering "n-1" constant parameters, and one parameter varying with time. In this way we obtained the influence of each parameter in the diminution of the urban noise using the noise barrier walls. In addition we realized a measurement for a real barrier wall inside the city of Oradea. Our study also contains a FEM model for the analyzed configuration. The comparison between measurements and computation was fair enough, which means that our theoretical study is acceptable and characterizes the noise pollution and its diminution in the urban agglomeration. The measurement-device was a CENTER 322 Sound Lever Meter.

This paper presents dynamic behaviors of autonomous solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) with AC bus control. Both voltage and frequency control are utilized to achieve load-sharing of the studied SOFC feeding isolated loads. A DC-to-DC converter is connected to the output terminals of the studied SOFC for stabilizing output voltage and current fluctuations under different loading conditions. The PWM inverter connected to the output terminals of the DC-to-DC converter is operated under voltage-controlled mode to regulate the voltage profile across the connected loads. It can be concluded from the simulation results that the proposed voltage and frequency droop controllers of the PWM inverter may operate satisfactory under stand-alone mode.
