Increasingly, feedback of measured run-time information is being used in the optimization of computation execution. This paper introduces a model relating the static view of a computation to its run-time variance that is useful in this context. A notion of uncertainty is then used to provide bounds on key scheduling parameters of the run-time computation. To illustrate the relationship between fidelity in measured information and minimum schedulable, grain size, we apply the bounds to three existing parallel architectures for the case of run-time variance caused by monitoring intrusion. We also outline a hybrid static-dynamic scheduling paradigm-SEDIA-that uses the model of uncertainty to optimize computation for execution in the presence of run-time variance from sources other than monitoring intrusion.

This paper studies the containment and group dispersion control for a multi-robot system in the presence of dynamic leaders. Each robot is represented by a doubleintegrator dynamic model and a distributed control algorithm is developed to drive the multi-robot system to follow a group of dynamic leaders with containment and group dispersion behaviors. The effectiveness of the algorithm is then verified on a multi-robot control platform.

Experimentation aimed at determining the potential benefit of mixed-mode SIMD/MIMD (single instruction, multiple data/multiple instruction, multiple data) parallel architectures is reported. The experimentation is based on timing measurements made on the PASM (Partitionable SIMD/MIMD) system prototype utilizing carefully coded synthetic variations of a well-known algorithm. The synthetic algorithms used to measure and evaluate this system were based on bitonic sorting of sequences stored in the processing elements. This computation was mapped to both the hybrids of the SIMD and MIMD modes. The computations were coded in these four ways and experiments were performed that explore the tradeoffs among them. The results of these experiments are presented and discussed, with special consideration of the effects of the system's architecture. The goal is to obtain implementation-independent analyses of the attributes of mixed-mode parallelprocessing with respect to the computational characteristics of the application being examined.< >

This work presents a computational modeling framework (CMF) for the algorithm formulation of timefrequency tools used in the signal characterization of wireless channels. The work centers on two important original contributions: the development of the CMF itself, which is based on group harmonic analysis and signal algebra operator theory, and the use of Kronecker products algebra (KPA) as an implementation tool-aid in the algorithm mapping of the timefrequency distributions to multicore computational structures. Performance evaluation results are presented which describe the scalability and extensibility attributes the KPA-based algorithm formulations. Implementation performance speed ups are also presented with respect to a PC-based cluster architecture used as a preliminary computational structure. Finally, the work demonstrates how time-frequency methods are instrumental in mapping one-dimensional impulse response functions of wireless channel links in a MIMO system into two-dimensional energy distributions through the use of time-frequency tools.

The purpose of this work is to develop a time-frequency signal analysis system to detect and recognize different kinds of power quality events or disturbances. To achieve our goal, design of computational signal processing methods is being addressed developing time-frequency tools based on signal algebra operators. The use of signal algebra operators permits the formulation of time-frequency algorithms in a computational framework setting, allowing the search for efficient hardware implementations. Time-frequency formulations are being implemented for embedded system applications using Digital Signal processing (DSP) and field programmable gate array (FPGA) units. Voltage disturbances are responsible for many disruptions in industrial, commercial and residential power supply systems, causing time and monetary losses. It is necessary to identify fast methods of determining when these disturbances are occurring in order to make correct power quality decisions. Automated information processing systems are needed to assess existing problems. Although a lot of work has been done on power line disturbance assessment, new techniques are desired to address new challenging power quality issues, specially in the area of physical security. Time-frequency signal analysis is a well known tool used in fields such as speech, sonar, and radar processing and is now finding its being in power quality assessment. A time-frequency representation is a two-dimensional representation that shows how the spectral content of a given signal changes with time. There is a genuine interest in this kind of representations for the field of power quality signal analysis systems since they provide more information than the typical one dimensional analysis. To achieve the goals of this work an environment is being created using MATLAB to simulate power line signal disturbances such as swells, sags, harmonic distortions, and outages. This environment computes desired time-frequency representations of
