Conservation laws to investigate the achievability of performance objectives in broadband networks are developed. Conservation laws for delay presented so far assumed infinite buffer size. No conservation laws for delay with finite buffer were established. In the present work, it is shown that the conservation law for combining scheduling and pushout mechanisms is represented as a two-dimensional region, rather than as a line, in the two-dimensional plane. In this case, the classical mixing strategies of E. Gelenbe and I. Mitrani (1980) may not be used to achieve the performance objectives. Therefore, there is a need for some other control strategies in order to satisfy both delay and loss performance objectives. On the basis of these conservation laws, the authors provide a dynamic queueing discipline that achieves the specified objectives, if the objectives can be satisfied, and treats the various workload classes fairly, if they cannot.< >

Importance sampling (IS) techniques can substantially accelerate bit error rate (BER) estimation using Monte Carlo (MC) simulation provided that the IS parameters specifying the simulation probability density function (PDF) are carefully chosen. We present an IS optimization algorithm based on stochastic gradient techniques. The formulation of the stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithm presented in this paper is quite general and system-independent, and its applicability is not restricted to a specific PDF or biasing scheme. The generality and effectiveness of the SGD algorithm are demonstrated by applying it to the problem of efficiently simulating a communication system with diversity combining, slow nonselective Rayleigh fading channel and noncoherent envelope detection.< >

Linear filters can be designed to any frequency Specification but they exhibit smoothing of localized signal features. In this paper a new filtering scheme is introduced, which is frequency selective but at the same time does not blurr the signal. This scheme is based on using the ordering of samples together with frequencey specifications. Frequency specifications are used to detect the desired frequencies. Information about the samples ordering is then used to decide which filter or if any filter is to be applied on the signal.

Two mechanisms for shaping private network traffic in asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) broadband ISDN (B-ISDN) are proposed and analyzed. The shapers utilize the information about the network policer and implement a form of priority service to assure satisfactory levels of cell loss and delay for traffic streams with differing service requirements multiplexed into a policed ATM virtual path. The performance of the shapers is analyzed using stochastic-fluid methods and Markov-modulated models of bursty traffic sources. The numerical results illustrate the performance benefits and flexibility obtainable through the use of the proposed shapers in comparison to a simple policed path without traffic shaping.< >

Using the theory of resultants/subresultants (inner determinants), a set of necessary conditions as well as another set of necessary conditions as well as another set of necessary and sufficient conditions, which are nonlinear functions of the polynomial coefficients, are obtained for all its roots to lie on the unit circle and be distinct from each other. The results have potential for improvement over previous methods for estimating parameters of sinusoids in noise where the constraints imposed provide only necessary conditions and are linearly related to the polynomial coefficients.< >

Research to develop multichannel spectral analysis methods, including classical and parametric techniques, for tube leak detection in fossil-fueled power plant boilers is described. Acoustic analysis is employed to detect leaks. The main idea is to monitor the continuous noise environment of the furnace and to look for specific acoustic signatures produced by leaks. A signal spectrum is estimated using the LabVIEW software package. The coherence spectrum of 2-channel signals estimated by the autoregressive technique is shown.< >

This paper summarizes the results of two neural hardware implementations of a helicopter gearbox health monitoring system (HMS). Our first hybrid approach and implementation to fault diagnosis is outlined, and our results are summarized using three levels of fault characterization: fault detection (fault or no fault), classification (gear or bearing fault), and identification (fault sub-classes). Our second all-analog implementation exploits the ability, of analog neural hardware to compute the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) as a pre-processor to a neural classifier. Our hardware results compare well with previously published software simulations.< >

The authors consider the mean delay and the cell loss probability that bursty and correlated arrivals incur in an ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) switching module which can be modeled as a finite-capacity polling system with nonexhaustive cyclic service. The arrival process to each input port of the system is modeled by a Markov modulated Bernoulli process (MMBP) which is able to describe the bursty and correlated nature of the ATM traffic. A practical polling system with finite capacity does not lend itself to an exact solution. The authors introduce a tractable approach to providing an analytical approximation. It is shown that both the mean delays and the cell loss probabilities obtained from this analysis provide accurate estimates.< >
