In this paper, we present a proxy-based solution for adapting the scalable video streams at the edge of a wireless network, which can respond quickly to highly dynamic wireless links. Our design adopts the scalable video coding (SVC) technique for lightweight rate adaptation at the edge. We derive a QoE model, i.e., rate-quality tradeoff model, that relates the maximum subjective quality under a given rate by choosing the optimal frame rate and quantization stepsize. The proxy iteratively allocates rates of different video streams to maximize a weighted sum of video qualities associated with different streams, based on the periodically observed link throughputs and the sending buffer status. Simulation studies show that our scheme consistently outperforms TFRC in terms of agility to track link qualities and overall quality of all streams. In addition, the proposed scheme supports differential services for different streams, and competes fairly with TCP flows.

The importance of video surveillance applications has been increasing with the increase of crime and terrorism. In addition to traditional video cameras, the use of acoustic sensors in surveillance and monitoring applications is also becoming increasingly important. In this paper, we apply High-Order Local Auto-Correlation (HLAC), which has succeeded in video surveillance applications, to extract features from acoustic signals in order to construct an acoustic surveillance system based on a novelty detection approach. We also apply Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) to this problem. Experiment results confirmed that the AHLAC-based method outperforms the NMF-based and the cepstrum-based methods under all SNR conditions. The combined NMF-AHLAC method was able to improve the Equal Error Rate (EER) at lower SNRs, although the EERs at higher SNRs tend to degrade.
We present a novel approach for the fabrication of hierarchical electrodes that integrates bottom-up nanostructure self-assembly and top-down microfabrication processes. The electrodes consist of virus-templated nanos...

In wireless mesh networks (WMN), most routing algorithms apply broadcasting at some stage of the path discovery process. They thereby consume large chunks of the network throughput. Intelligent rebroadcast algorithms aim to reduce this overhead by calculating the usefulness of a rebroadcast and the likelihood of collisions. Unfortunately, this introduces latency and breaks the rebroadcast chain, resulting in reduced reachability. In this paper we present our Social-aware Routing Protocol with Parallel Collision Guidance Broadcasting for WMN (SCG). It reduces rebroadcasting without a loss in reachability and without a significant increase in latency. Our claims are validated through simulations comparing our algorithm with existing protocols.

This paper considers nonlinear dynamical networks consisting of individually iISS (integral input-to-state stable) subsystems which are not necessarily ISS (input-to-state stable). Stability criteria for internal and external stability of the networks are developed in view of both necessity and sufficiency. For the sufficiency, we show how we can construct a Lyapunov function of the network explicitly under the assumption that a cyclic small-gain condition is satisfied. The cyclic small-gain condition is shown to be equivalent to a matrix-like condition. The two conditions and their equivalence precisely generalize some central ISS results in the literature. Moreover, the necessity of the matrix-like condition is established. The allowable number of non-ISS subsystems for stability of the network is discussed through several necessity conditions.

Instruction-level redundancy is an effective scheme to reduce the susceptibility of microprocessors to soft errors, offering high error detection and recovery capability;however, it usually incurs significant performance degradation due to resource racing. Motivated by the fact that narrow-width operands are commonly seen in applications, we exploit data-level parallelism to accelerate instruction-level redundancy. For the instructions within sphere of replication (SoR) of data-level redundancy, normal and redundant versions of the narrow-width operand of the instruction are folded into one register to share the same functional unit during execution hence alleviating resource racing. The other instructions are all protected by instructionlevel redundancy. We run SPECint2000 benchmarks on a modified version of SimpleScalar simulator, and synthesize the extra hardware to evaluate area overhead of the proposed pipeline. Experimental results show that our acceleration scheme outperforms conventional instruction-level redundancy by 13% in IPC. Besides, the extra area overhead is negligible.

Based on the determination of a minimum dwell time, this article addresses the problem of characterising a switching strategy for ℋ∞ stabilisation of switched linear stochastic systems with adapted external inputs. Sufficient conditions that assure exponential mean square stability and an ℋ∞ performance index are established by analysing the time evolution of the second-order moment of the state and a recursive dynamic programming inequality, respectively. Alternative conditions are derived for numerical implementations. The proposed method is illustrated by numerical simulations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
