In previous work, we have developed a novel RAID architecture for NAND flash that protects a system from data loss in the case of failure, or wear-out, of individual flash chips. These mechanisms permit the recovery of data onto a new replacement chip when a particular element in the array reaches its endurance limit. However the use of this architecture in a hard real-time system is limited as the memory needs to be taken off-line while the replacement is actioned and so memory access times become non-deterministic with respect to time. In this paper we present a hot swapping technique for replacing elements in the array that are approaching their wear-out level that does not involve taking the array off-line - thereby increasing the systems availability and providing guaranteed response time. The result is that our hot-swapping architecture is more suited to applications with hard real-time constraints. We have implemented this technique in our FPGA-based SSD-aware RAID controller, complete with a metadata management framework to increase throughput and efficiency.","PeriodicalId":170124,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Applied System Innovation (ICASI)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130361809","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}

CAMC has dual aspects of a spread spectrum signal and a product code. Error correcting methods for CAMC are based either on processing gain in spread spectrum, or on iterative decoding of product codes. The weights of CAMC codewords are fixed at two symmetrical values. In this paper, we present performance improvement of CAMC by the control of extrinsic information (EI) in the iterated decoding of CAMC. The control is based on whether the decomposed codewords have the correct weights, or not. Preferred assignment of EI on correct weight and as a predictor of despreading brings an improvement in BER performance of 0.1 ~ 0.3 dB.","PeriodicalId":170124,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Applied System Innovation (ICASI)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127343297","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}

In several applications, if the data is forged by attackers, it may incur unrecoverable disasters. Thus, device authentication must be supported in these security-sensitive applications. In this paper, a survey of group-based authentication (GBA) is conducted to support efficient device authentication in IoT. In addition, the performance improvement by GBA is evaluated and compared with the traditional direct authentication approach. According to the simulation results, GBA can significantly improve the performance of authentication process if the appropriate number of groups is determined.","PeriodicalId":170124,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Applied System Innovation (ICASI)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127700030","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}

The applications of TFT-LCD technology are becoming daily popular due to the fast growing mobile device and large-size TV markets. To fulfill market needs, most of the TFT-LCD manufacturers expand their manufacturing capacities. Therefore, the TFT-LCD manufacturers need to purchase more capital equipment. Albeit important, limited scholars try to define criteria and analytic frameworks to select capital equipment suppliers for the small and medium-sized TFT-LCD manufacturers. Therefore, in this research, the authors aim to derive the key. The modified Delphi method will first be introduced to derive the most suitable criteria. Then, the weights being associated with the criteria will be derived by using the DEMATEL based network process (DNP). Finally, the VIKOR will be used to derive the most suitable capital equipment supplier. The key factors and the analytic framework can be used for evaluating and selecting FPD and semiconductor equipment suppliers in the future.","PeriodicalId":170124,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Applied System Innovation (ICASI)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129483745","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}
