It requires accelerated commercialization or aptly called go-to-market processes. To successfully accelerate, companies need a new type of product development, the so called validated learning process. Validated learning process systematically searches the fit between technology and market, by validating the mechanics of a business model. Acceleration consists in rapidly iterating between experiments, data collection, and informed decision making. However, every company needs to apply its own version of the validated learning process, focused on its context and industry. In this paper we describe a cloud platform that bring together several services and instruments that the companies usually rely on in their go-to-market process. The main contribution of this paper consists in analyzing the integration of big data sources in a cloud platform for accelerating the building, management and promotion of innovation in industry.","PeriodicalId":162582,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Black Sea Conference on Communications and Networking (BlackSeaCom)","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124608581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a consequence, it is necessary to design coding schemes with performances close to the theoretical limits, having at the same time high flexibility and low complexity requirements at the receiver. In this paper we start by pointing out some of the main drawbacks of the Bit Interleaved Code Modulation (BICM) technique which is the state of the art adopted in several standards and then propose some lower complexity alternatives. These low complexity alternatives are obtained by applying the recently introduced Analog Digital Belief Propagation (ADBP) algorithm to a two stage encoding scheme. First we show that the loss in performance can be kept quite small by using a hard decoder in all stages of a multistage decoder (MSD) except the two lowest levels with a reasonable flexibility of choosing the code rates. Then we apply the ADBP algorithm to further reduce the decoding complexity of the soft decoded stages.","PeriodicalId":162582,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Black Sea Conference on Communications and Networking (BlackSeaCom)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114083264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Coherent decisions in space, taken by the routing protocol, with those taken by the MAC protocol, in time, prove to be efficient against several metrics: delay, energy consumption and hop number.

Practical models are put forth to account for the variable RES, time-varying energy prices, as well as stochastic wireless channels. Capitalizing on the proposed models, a robust resource allocation task is formulated for the energy management and transmit-beamforming designs. The resultant convex optimization problem minimizes the worst-case energy transaction cost while guarantees the users' quality of service (QoS) robust to channel uncertainties. A dual decomposition method is developed to obtain the optimal operating point in a distributed fashion.

In fact, it is possible to design a SC-LDPC code with any given code diversity [2]. In this work, we investigate the performance of SC-LDPC codes over block-fading channels, assuming a mismatch (or offset) between the first bit of a transmission packet and a first bit of a codeword. Such a mismatch is called the synchronisation offset, and it has a negative impact on the code diversity. We propose a data-allocation scheme for SC-LDPC codes that allows to obtain a robustness to the synchronisation offset. Combined together with the code design from [2], it allows to design efficient SC-LDPC codes, whose performance degrades only slowly under imperfect transmission conditions.","PeriodicalId":162582,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Black Sea Conference on Communications and Networking (BlackSeaCom)","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122641986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
