Rising global energy demand, increasing electricity prices, and the limitation of natural resources have led to increased interest in energy monitoring of residential buildings. Much research has been done to examine the effect of energy use feedback to building occupants. An important step towards energy awareness is to provide timely and finegrained consumption information of major household energy expenditures through feedback systems, known as residential energy monitoring systems (REMS). To accomplish this, researchers and product designers are intent on improving the residential whole-building energy consumption estimates gained through sensor networks at homes. Additionally, profiling the usage of appliances and devices within a home can be used to determine an occupant's daily activities and to optimize energy consumption. In this work, we take a step toward creating an evaluation procedure for REMS by determining factors that affect their ability to accurately convey energy usage to occupants. Two feedback sensor systems are assessed in a testbed in which electrical loads typical to a home are operated. Preliminary tests show that the accuracy of the REMS measurement is dependent on an electrical load's power factor. Together with other findings, the results will assist researchers in forming a comprehensive test procedure that will characterize feedback systems in the future.

For rate control (RC) of hierarchical structure coding, an independent rate-quantization (R-Q) model was proposed based on mean absolute differences (MADs) in different temporal levels (TLs). In the proposed R-Q model, a novel MAD model was developed according to the hierarchical structure. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides better performance, in terms of average peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and quality smoothness, than the H.264 reference model, JM14.2, under various sequences.

The task for the data mining contest organized in conjunction with the ICONIP2011 conference was to learn three predictive models (i.e. a classifier) capable of distinguishing between different classes for three separate tasks. Different combinations of data preprocess, feature selection and classifier learning methods were tried to obtain the best results.

In order to apply our high efficiency fibre-channel token-routing network (shortened as FC-TR network) to the field of materials simulation research, a new MPI parallel computing environment is proposed and designed, and independently developed a parallel programming environment FC-TR-MPI based on FC-TR network. In FC-TR-MPI, a new method was applied to point-to-point communication that the network communications between processes in the same computing node were changed into memory operations;moreover, according to the underlying software and hardware features of FC-TR network, new algorithms were proposed to optimize the communication performance of some collective communications. Experimental results show that, compared with ScaMPI parallel programming environment, FC-TR-MPI has a higher parallel efficiency and speedup.
