If the distribution of mobile nodes can be foreseen, the location of mobile servers becomes critical to the QoS of wireless systems. Under resource and topology constraints, it is very difficult to figure out a solution, or unable to cover all given mobile nodes within limited number of mobile servers. In this paper, we study the issue of the partial covering problem such that part of mobile nodes to be covered. Several approximation algorithms are proposed to cover the maximum number of elements. For real time systems, such as the battlefield communication system, the proposed algorithms with polynomial-time complexity can be efficiently applied. The algorithm complexity analysis illustrates the improvement made by our algorithms. The experimental results show that the performance of our algorithms is much better than other existing 3-approximation algorithm for the robust k-center problem.","PeriodicalId":198404,"journal":{"name":"7th International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and Networks, 2004.

It needs to be converted into multiple binary relationships in the semantic Web. However, the semantics of a higher-degree relation is not always the same as those of multiple binary relationships. Even if a higher-degree relation can be represented by multiple binary relations, the former often provides a more \"natural\" representation of the real world. Wand and Weber introduced the ontology defined by Bunge into information modeling that is referred to as BWW ontologies. By using a mutual attribute rather than multiple binary relations to represent a higher-degree relation directly, BWW ontologies avoid the problem of inappropriate presentation of higher-degree relations. This paper presents an XML schema for BWW ontologies to support the semantic Web.","PeriodicalId":198404,"journal":{"name":"7th International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and Networks, 2004.

We propose a new statistical approach to infer network internal link loss performance from end-to-end measurements. Incorporating with the procedure of topology inference, we present an inference algorithm that can infer loss rates of individual links in the network when it infers the network topology. It is proved that the loss rate inferred by our approach is consistent with the real loss rate as the number of probe packets tends to infinity. The approach is also extended to general trees case for loss performance inference. Loss rate-based scheme on topology inference is built in view of correct convergence to the true topology for general trees.","PeriodicalId":198404,"journal":{"name":"7th International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and Networks, 2004.

From the conventional routing of GSM network traffic channel must always return to their HPLMN for interrogation, consequently to the inefficiency routing and waste of traffic channel between the foreign network and Home-PLMN, we are assuming the alternative routing to setup direct connection to the terminating exchange, wherever the subscriber is roaming - in a foreign network or in their home network.

We consider the problem of querying large scale multidimensional time series data to discover events of interest, test and validate hypotheses, or to associate temporal patterns with specific events. This type of data currently dominates most other types of available data, and will very likely become even more prevalent in the future given the current trends in collecting time series of business, scientific, demographic, and simulation data. The ability to explore such collections interactively, even at a coarse level, will be critical in discovering the information and knowledge embedded in such collections. We develop indexing techniques and search algorithms to efficiently handle temporal range value querying of multidimensional time series data. Our indexing uses linear space data structures that enable the handling of queries in I/O time that is essentially the same as that of handling a single time slice, assuming the availability of a logarithmic number of processors as a function of the temporal window. A data structure with provably almost optimal asymptotic bounds is also presented for the case when the number of multidimensional objects is relatively small. These techniques improve significantly over standard techniques for either serial or parallel processing, and are evaluated by extensive experimental results that confirm their superior performance.","PeriodicalId":198404,"journal":{"name":"7th International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and Networks, 2004.
