In this paper, we describe Arches, an object-oriented framework for building domain-specific PSEs. The framework was designed to support a wide range of problem domains and to be extendable in a way that allows it to target very different high-performance computing models. To demonstrate this flexibility we describe two PSEs that have been developed from the same framework yet solve different problems and target very different computing platforms. The Coven PSE supports parallel applications that need the large-scale parallelism that is found in cost-effective Beowulf clusters. In contrast, the RCADE PSE targets reconfigurable computing (FPGA-based) platforms with fine-grain parallelism. RCADE was designed to aid NASA Earth scientists interested in studying satellite instrument data and who are unlikely to be schooled in low-level hardware design.

The sensor network for monitoring distributed spatial phenomena has emerged as an area of significant practical interest. In this paper we investigate fundamental issues in detection of spatially distributed phenomena under communication constraints. The novelty of the paper is in providing a tradeoff between global performance and costs involved in communication. In particular we focus our attention on boundary estimation and develop a framework to optimize communication costs subject to worst-case misclassification guarantees. It is shown that the communication cost is primarily a function of two parameters: (1) length of the boundary; (2) overall misclassification error - which leads us to the conclusion that wireless sensor network performance is comparable to that obtained with a wired network of sensors.

The design and development of a 230 W power amplifier operating at S-band (2,35 to 2.45 GHz) is described. The motivation behind this development is the need for a microwave driver amplifier to be used in the linear accelerator facility at the Institute of Accelerating systems and Applications at the University of Athens. It will replace the magnetron currently being used at low microwave power. The need for extremely stable microwave power for the electron beam pre-acceleration and chopping cavities makes it imperative to use a solid-state high power GaAs amplifier. The design technology uses microstrips, fabricated on RO4003 substrates, and special care has been taken to protect the amplifier from over temperature and overload. The amplifier is composed of three stages. The first is a MMIC and the other two use GaAs MESFETs. The amplifier also has forward and reflected signal indicators that can be used for remote amplifier control to shut it down if the VSWR is too high, for example, or to check the RF output level and provide automatic gain control. The amplifier was designed using a CAD program, which gave the flexibility to use robust optimizer tools for the complete design of the RF chain. Finally, test results are presented that show excellent agreement with the theoretical predictions.

In this paper, we propose a novel variational framework for the reconstruction of dynamic objects from sparse and noisy tomographic data. Using an object-based scene model, we developed a general object dynamic model based on a one to one and differentiable mapping. We then propose a novel distance between curves to incorporate the object dynamics into the variational framework. For the minimization of the energy function, we developed a coordinate descent algorithm based on the level set methods. Experimental results for reconstructing a sequence of multiple dynamic objects are presented.

IP network has been evolving significantly in last decade. Many computers and devices have been attached to the IP network and many applications were taken place over it. One of interesting applications is building embedded control system which has connectivity to Internet. This paper explains an implementation of embedded web server with security support which becomes an example of control application over IP network. A security algorithm, TEA (tiny encryption algorithm), has been implemented in a microprocessor system together with TCP/IP stack. The microprocessor system is based on 8051 family microcontroller which serves as web server. The encryption algorithm is processed both on server and client. Therefore in clients need a plug in, which run encryption mechanism, so that they can access the embedded Web server safely.

In the application of curve evolution and level set methods to biomedical image analysis, the incorporation of geometric priors for isolated shapes has been proved useful. On the other hand, the inclusion of a priori topological information concerning the relationship of multiple shapes remains a challenge. In this paper, we propose a differentiable minimin shape distance (DMSD) that is indicative of the topological relation between shapes. A curve evolution equation based on its first variation is derived and this enables us to incorporate this prior into a curve evolution framework. We demonstrate the application of the DMSD by proposing an extension to the Chan-Vese image segmentation model to incorporate topological prior information for challenging image segmentation tasks.

The emergence of pervasive wide-area distributed computing environments, such as pervasive information systems and computational grids, has enabled new generations of applications that are based on seamless access, aggregation and interaction. However, the inherent complexity, heterogeneity and dynamism of these systems require a change in how the applications are developed and managed. In this paper we present a component-based programming framework to support the development of autonomic self-managed applications. The framework enables the development of autonomic components and the formulation of autonomic applications as the dynamic composition and management of autonomic components. The operation of the proposed framework is illustrated using a forest fire application.
