We propose QoS-aware scheduling algorithms for grid networks that are capable of optimally or near-optimally assigning computation and communication tasks to grid resources. The routing and scheduling algorithms to be presented take as input the resource utilization profiles and the task characteristics and QoS requirements, and co-allocate resources while accounting for the dependencies between communication and computation tasks.

In this paper we introduce an equation-based smooth multicast congestion control for adaptive multimedia transmission over best-effort wired networks. Target of the proposed schema is (a) smooth transmission rate, in order to minimize the audio-video (AV) encoding and decoding distortion and (b) TCP friendly transmission. The "smoothness" lays in the way the TCP-friendly transmission rate is filtered. We integrate the congestion control functions in the RTP protocol and use the RTCP sender and receiver reports to provide the necessary feedback information for the sender's adaptive transmission rate. The performance evaluation of the smooth adaptation and TCP-friendliness is conducted through a number of simulations with the network simulator software (ns2). Our intention is to use this congestion control in the context of a proposed framework for multimedia transmission over wired and wireless networks.

Designing wireless sensor networks is inherently complex; many aspects such as energy efficiency, limited resources, decentralized collaboration, fault tolerance have to be tackled. To be effective and to produce applicable results, fundamental research has to be tested, at least as a proof-of-concept, in large scale environments, so as to assess the feasibility of the new concepts, verb their large scale effects (not only at technological level, but also as for their foreseeable implications on users, society and economy) and derive further requirements, orientations and inputs for the research. In this paper we focus on the problems of interconnecting existing testbed environments via the Internet and providing a virtual unifying laboratory that will support academia, research centers and industry in their research on networks and services. In such a facility important issues of trust, security, confidentiality and integrity of data may arise especially for commercial (or not) organizations. In this paper we investigate such issues and present the design of a secure and robust architectural model for interconnecting testbeds of wireless sensor networks.

In this paper, electroencephalograph (EEG) signals recorded during miss operation of brain computer interface (BCI) system was analyzed. As a result, a feature difference between miss operation and normal operation was found at the low frequency component and the event-related potential (ERP) such as P300. Therefore a possibility of the modification of miss operation was confirmed.

This paper proposes a method which gives a state space realization of the linear systems with algebraic loops not only in numerical format but also in symbolic format and guarantees that the order of the system is preserved. The method uses an adjacency matrix in graph theory for the modeling of the control systems and uses the matrix inversion lemma to calculate the inverse of matrix symbolically and to obtain the symbolic state space realizations. We have developed a new software platform for modeling and simulation of control systems using the proposed method.

The need for efficient implementation of simple crossbar schedulers has increased in the recent years due to the advent of on-chip interconnection networks that require low latency message delivery. The core function of any crossbar scheduler is arbitration that resolves conflicting requests for the same output. Since, the delay of the arbiters directly determine the operation speed of the scheduler, the design of faster arbiters is of paramount importance. In this paper, we present a new bit-level algorithm and new circuit techniques for the design of programmable priority arbiters that offer significantly more efficient implementations compared to already-known solutions. From the experimental results it is derived that the proposed circuits are more than 15% faster than the most efficient previous implementations, which under equal delay comparisons, translates to 40% less energy.

Clustering is a data mining technique that allows the grouping of data points on the basis of their similarity with respect to multiple dimensions of measurement. It has also been applied in the software engineering domain, in particular to support software quality assessment based on source code metrics. Unfortunately, since clusters emerge from metrics at the source code level, it is difficult to interpret the significance of clusters at the level of the quality of the entire system. In this paper, we propose a method for interpreting source code clusters using the ISO/IEC 9126 software product quality model. Several methods have been proposed to perform quantitative assessment of software systems in terms of the quality characteristics defined by ISO/IEC 9126. These methods perform mappings of low-level source code metrics to high-level quality characteristics by various aggregation and weighting procedures. We applied such a method to obtain quality profiles at various abstraction levels for each generated source code cluster. Subsequently, the plethora of quality profiles obtained is visualized such that conclusions about different quality problems in various clusters can be obtained at a glance.

We present two architectures for implementing optical buffers. Both use multi-wavelength selective elements like quantum dot semiconductor optical amplifiers (QD-SOAs) as multi-wavelength converters and fixed-length delay lines that are combined to form both an output queuing and a parallel buffer switch design. The output queuing buffer design requires less active devices (QD-SOA) when implementing large buffers, but the parallel buffer design becomes more profitable, when the number of wavelength channels that can be simultaneously processed by the wavelength selective switches (QD-SOAs) increases. This is because the number of active devices depends only on the buffer size. We also proposed scheduling algorithm to resolve packet contention in parallel buffer architecture and carried out a simulation considering mean packet delay, maximum buffer occupancy and packet loss probability.

In this paper, we use the OMNET++ simulator in order to evaluate the performance of the basic mobile IPv6 protocol and some of its proposed variations. The most important metric we are interested in is the handover latency, which is measured for various combinations of the proposed mobile IPv6 variations and then this metric is used, combined with factors such as the complexity of the implementation, in order to evaluate and identify the best possible configuration for the operation of the protocol.
