Optimal assignment of a meta-task in heterogeneous computingsystems is NP-complete in the general case. Therefore, heuristic approaches must be employed to find good solutions within a reasonable time. We propose a novel discrete particle swarm optimization (DPSO) algorithm for this problem. Firstly, to make particle swarm optimization algorithm more suitable for solving task assignment problems, particles are represented as integer vectors and a new position update method is developed based on discrete domain. Secondly, an effective variable neighborhood descent algorithm is applied to emphasize exploitation. In addition, migration mechanism is introduced with the hope to escape from possible local optimum and to balance the exploration and exploitation. Computational simulations and comparisons based on a set of benchmark instances indicate that the proposed DPSO algorithm is a viable approach for the task assignment problem.

Vehicle detection in SAR image is attractive field. High moments included numerous information is proposed to exploit in the field. It not only restrains Gaussian noise automatically, but also suppresses non-gaussian noise. Man-made targets in are different from the background clutter. Moreover, the influence of the shadow about man-made targets is reduced in the algorithm of high moments. We utilize high moments to avoid to analyst the complex scatter theory. By analyzing the relevent theory and practical calculated method of high order moments, we compare the difference of probability of detection between the target chip and clutter chip to achieve the goal of detection. Through processing lots of actual SAR data which is added different kinds of noise, we compare the performance between high order moments and low-order moments method.

This paper proposes a novel adaptive interpolation filter (AIF) to reduce computational complexity and bit-rate of video coding. In the proposed AIF, the filter coefficients of B frames, which are predicted from those of adjacent P frames with a novel parabolic model, are unnecessary to transmit. Experimental results show that the coding complexity is reduced by 40.22% with no penalty on coding efficiency and 1.59% bit rate reduction is achieved at low bit-rate against conventional AIF.

Considering time hopping impulse radio ultra wide band (TH-IR UWB) sensor networks composed n sensor nodes which are placed according to a Poisson point process on a square and a Sink. The results demonstrate that the bounds on the lifetime of dense network increase with the increase of the number of nodes n, and that of extended network decrease with the increase of the number of nodes n. The results also indicate the bounds on the lifetime of clustering sensor networks is far more than that of non-clustering network, thus clustering can evidently improve network lifetime. Furthermore, the bounds on the lifetime of clustering TH-IR UWB sensor network which the nodes are distributed according to a Poisson point process are different from that of clustering network which the nodes are placed according to uniform distribution, thus the behavior of nodes deploying can remarkably affect the lifetime bound.

The causes of stress and how it affects our behaviors are generally not well understood. The stress research usually requires a large amount of data to analyze possible stress-related factors. The data collection process traditionally is time-consuming and cost-ineffective. To help medical researchers collect the stress information, we propose a tool named StressBar utilizing the powerful data collection capacity of smart phones. In this paper, we will show our design and implementation considerations of StressBar. Copyright 2011 ACM.

This work presents a method to detect the size and location of tumor in soft tissues using ultrasound. Quantitative ultrasound is utilized to allow an ultrasound signal to be sent from a transmitter to multiple receivers. This received signal is analyzed for echogenic and echolucent tumors to differentiate between the two along with non-tumor sample and also studied for the delay to determine the size/location of the tumor. The proposed system utilizes Low Transient Pulse (LTP) technique and is implemented using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and Digital Signal Processor (DSP) technologies. In this co-design architecture, DSP carries out the analysis of received demodulated signal at a lower speed while FPGA runs at a higher one to generate LTP signal and demodulate bandpass ultrasonic signal. This work elaborates the implementation of Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) receiver on FPGA for the received signal from an ultrasound detector. LTP is applied to the tumor samples through the transmitter and the received signal at an ultrasonic receiver is passed through QAM to obtain different maxima that are then further used to compute the location and the size of the tumor using DSP. This dual platform co-design demonstrates a good application of a FPGA/DSP platform for the LTP generation and received signal processing.

Li and Zhou propose an important concept for Petri nets: elementary siphons. They partition siphons into elementary and dependent ones. The controllability of the latter can be ensured by the former's proper control. They give a sufficient condition to decide whether a dependent siphon is controlled by its elementary ones in S 3 PR. However, this condition is so loose that in many cases the controllability of a dependent SMS cannot be determined although it is actually controlled. In this paper, we propose an improved condition to decide the controllability of strongly dependent SMS.
