Ad hoc networks are useful for providing communication support where no fixed infrastructure exists or the deployment of a fixed infrastructure is not economically profitable, and movement of communicating parties is allowed. Therefore, such networks are designed to operate in widely varying environments, from military networks to low-power sensor networks and other embedded systems. Frequent topology changes caused by node mobility make routing in ad hoc wireless networks a challenging problem. In this paper, we propose an efficient ad hoc routing algorithm, which we refer to as GZRP, a hybrid protocol that makes use of the ZRP scheme and the Global Positioning System (GPS). As opposed to the ZRP original scheme, our GZRP scheme consists of propagating the routing (query) messages only to the nodes that are further away from the query source. We discuss the algorithm, its implementation, and report on the performance of GZRP scheme, and compare it to the ZRP routing protocol using an extensive simulation experiment. Our results indicate clearly that GZRP outperforms ZRP by reducing significantly the number of route query messages, and thereby increases the efficiency of the network load. Furthermore, we show that careful GPS screening angle is an important factor in the success of the GZRP ad hoc routing protocol.

parallel and distributedsimulation techniques have been investigated in a number of studies to decrease the execution times of PCS network simulations. In this paper, we consider distributedsimulation of PCS models using a two-state PCS simulation testbed which makes use of a conservative scheme at Stage 1, and of Time Warp at Stage 2, and focus upon the load balancing issue. We investigate and study several load balancing schemes for TDMA systems. Extensive simulation experiments were conducted on a cluster of workstations using a real suburban area serviced by an FCA-based PCS networks. Our results indicate clearly that careful load balancing scheme is important in the success of the PCS simulation model.

In some scenarios involving online transaction processing within a distributed database, it is desirable to synchronize transactions in a manner that guarantees conflict equivalence with a serial schedule ordered by original transaction start times while providing each transaction with an anomaly-serializable isolation. Few theoretical concurrency control algorithms guarantee such a conflict equivalence, and we are unaware of any protocol that accomplishes this while supporting real-world issues such as out-of-order transaction messages, out-of-order operation executions and out-of-order transaction committals without the burden of explicit read-set and write-set declarations. We describe an algorithm called T3C (Temporally Correct Concurrency Control) that provides this guarantee and supports these issues while requiring only table-level write-set declarations.
Wait states in parallel applications can be identified by scanning event traces for characteristic patterns. In our earlier work we defined such inefficiency patterns for MPI-2 one-sided communication, although still ...

Wireless networking technologies and mobile cellular communication systems are growing at an ever faster rate, and this is likely to continue in the foreseeable future. Higher reliability, better coverage and services, higher capacity, mobility management, and wireless multimedia are all parts of the potpourri. The evolution of new systems and improved designs will always depend on the ability to predict system performance using analytical or simulation methods. To date, mathematical analysis has brought some insight into the design of such systems, but analytical methods are often not general or detailed enough for evaluation and comparison of various proposed mobile and/or wireless systems and their services. distributedsimulation techniques have been investigated in a number of studies to decrease the execution times of PCS simulations. We study the load balancing problem for PCS wireless simulationsystems, and focus upon static strategies in order to reduce the synchronization overhead of SWiMNet, a parallel PCS simulation testbed developed at UNT.

A Hohlraum-like configuration is proposed for realizing a simple compact source for neutrons. A laser pulse enters a tiny thin-shelled hollow-sphere target through a small opening and is self-consistently trapped in the cavity. The electrons in the inner shell-wall region are expelled by the light pressure. The resulting space-charge field compresses the local ions into a thin layer that becomes strongly heated. An inward expansion of ions into the shell cavity then occurs, resulting in the formation at the cavity center of a hot spot of ions at high density and temperature, similar to that in inertial electrostatic confinement.
