Trace-oriented runtime monitoring is a very effective method to improve the reliability of distributed systems. However, for medium-scale distributed systems, existing trace-oriented monitoring frameworks are either not powerful or efficient enough, or too complex and expensive to deploy and maintain. In this paper, we present MTracer, which is a lightweight trace-oriented monitoring system for medium-scale distributed systems. We have proposed and implemented several optimizations to improve the efficiency of the monitor server in MTracer. A web-based frontend is also provided to visualize a monitored system from different perspectives. We have validated MTracer in a real medium-scale environment. The results indicate that MTracer has a very lower overhead, and can handle more than 4000 events per second.

This paper presents an automatic deblurring approach for motion blur images. The approach explores the prior of the intensity and gradient to estimate the motion blur kernel from single blurred image. In this way, motion blur kernel could be well estimated not only on daytime images, but also on nighttime images. Efficient optimization method was given for the prior-based approach. Besides, a cost-effective method was also proposed to remove the noise of the kernel in the iterative kernel estimation. The proposed kernel enhancement approach could also improve the performance of other blind deblurring algorithm. Experimental results showed that the performance of the proposed algorithm was superior to many state-of-the-art blind deblurring algorithms, especially for nighttime images with saturated regions.

Partitioning links rather than nodes is effective in overlapping community detection (OCD) on complex networks. However, it consumes high CPU and memory overheads because the volume of links is huge especially when the network is rather complex. In this paper, we proposes a symmetric non-negative matrix factorization (SNMF) based link partition method called SNMF-Link to overcome this deficiency. In particular, SNMF-Link represents data in a lower-dimensional space spanned by the node-link incidence matrix. By solving a lighter SNMF problem, SNMF-Link learns the clustering indicators of each links. Since traditional multiplicative update rule (MUR) based optimization algorithm for SNMF suffers from slow convergence, we applied the augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) to efficiently optimize SNMF. Experimental results show that SNMF-Link is much more efficient than the representative clustering algorithms without reducing the OCD performance.

The Embarrassingly parallel(EP) algorithm which is typical of many Monte Carloapplications provides an estimate of the upper achievable limits for double precision performance of parallel supercomputers. Recently, Intel released Many Integrated Core(MIC) architecture as a many-core co-processor. MIC often offers more than 50 cores each of which can run four hardware threads as well as 512-bit vector instructions. In this paper,we describe how the EP algorithm is accelerated effectively on the platforms containing MIC using the offload execution model. The result shows that the efficientimplementation of EP algorithm on MIC can take full advantage of MIC's computational resources and achieves a speedup of 3.06 compared with that on Intel Xeon E5-2670 CPU. Based on the EP algorithm on MIC and an effective task distribution model, the implementation of EP algorithm on a CPU-MIC heterogeneous platform achieves the performance of up to2134.86 Mop/s and 4.04 times speedup compared with that on Intel Xeon E5-2670 CPU.

Hidden terminal and collisions are well-known problems due to broadcasting nature of wireless network. In this paper, we address an efficient MAC protocol to evade the potential collisions caused by hidden terminals, where advanced phycical layer technique, full-duplex, is exploited to coordinate channel contention among nodes within two-hops range. Furhter-more, cooperative channel hopping(CCH) MAC is developed to improve the frequency efficiency by limiting the interference of hidden terminals and enabling a collision-free channel for further transmission. Basically, a fined channel hopping mechanism is proposed to avoid the continually interference and cooperative coordination is subjoined by the transmission of cyclic prefix. To the best of our knowledge, CCH-MAC validates the detection of subchannel contention on NI USRPs and evaluation via simulations shows that CCH-MAC achieves at least 35% throughput gain over FICA with a slightly loss in fairness.

Urban land use and land cover (LULC) classification is one of the core applications in Geographic Information System (GIS). In this paper, a novel classification approach based on Deep Belief Network (DBN) for detailed urban mapping is proposed. Deep Belief Network (DBN) is a widely investigated and deployed deep learning model. By applying the DBN model, effective spatio-temporal mapping features can be automatically extracted to improve the classification performance. Six-date RADARSAT-2 Polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) data over the Great Toronto Area were used for evaluation. Experimental results showed that the proposed method can outperform SVM and contextual approaches using adaptive MRF.

Pull-request mechanism is an outstanding social development method in Git Hub. @-mention is a social media tool that deeply integrated with pull-request mechanism. Recently, many research results show that social media tools can promote the collaborative software development, but few work focuses on the impacts of @-mention. In this paper, we conduct an exploratory study of @-mention in pull-request based software development, including its current situation and benefits. We obtain some interesting findings which indicate that @-mention is beneficial to the processing of pull-request. Our work also proposes some possible research directions and problems of the @-mention. It helps the developers and researchers notice the significance of @-mention in the pull-request based software development.
