It is built on broadcasting and pseudo random network coding. Its main strength is that, being broadcast based, it does not need any feedback channel and thus uses less data rate. Data is transmitted exploiting network coding, multiple linear combinations of data are sent. A vehicle needs to receive a defined number of independent linear combinations to decode the data. The server will send a larger number of different linear combinations. The unreliability of broadcast is thus neutralized through a useful redundancy rather than through re-transmission. Finally, computation of the linear combination coefficients is done so that the overhead is the same as it would be without network coding. Depending on the infrastructure deployed, this technique can be a content distribution solution per se or the first step in a more general solution, the second step being based on collaborative download. The high diversity in transmissions will then be a key feature for the performance of such an application.","PeriodicalId":235698,"journal":{"name":"2015 Asia-Pacific Conference on Computer Aided System Engineering","volume":"85 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128977750","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 this paper, the Horizontal Diffusion method, which is part of the ARW (Advanced Research WRF) dynamic solver, is accelerated using GPUs. The performance of the GPU-based method was compared to that one of a CPU-based single-threaded counterpart on a computational domain of 433x308 horizontal grid points with 35 vertical levels.

The platform is based on a decentralized and layered architecture and is centered on the concept of electricity prosumers -economically motivated agents (residential, commercial, industrial) - that can produce, store or consume energy. The platform consists of six layers, including: the physical layer, local control layer, cyber layer, system control layer (economic dispatch and real-time control), market transactive layer and business layer. The main objective of the platform is to provide a framework for the coordination of several spatially distributed and heterogeneous subsystems containing energy resources at different time scales and horizons in order to conduct economic emissions dispatch and reserve scheduling to integrate higher amounts of renewable energy, while dynamically maintaining and adapting to user level of service requirements and system level constraints. Using the structure provided by the platform, the benefits of flexible distributed energy resources for different scenarios of renewable energy integration are quantified. The results show that using the platform for coordination of flexible energy, offers the opportunity to integrate higher amounts of renewable energy, reduce carbon emissions and operational costs.","PeriodicalId":235698,"journal":{"name":"2015 Asia-Pacific Conference on Computer Aided System Engineering","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124371383","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 Latin American this is an important health problem, for instance in Brazil and Ecuador this is the leading cause of cancer among women around 35 years old. Currently mammography is used as the gold standard for screening breast cancer. However, for young women mammograms are not recommended due the low contrast it presents on dense breasts and alternative techniques must be considered for this purpose. The World Health Organization states that screening programs are the more efficient way to combat this disease. Therefore it is fundamental to address new researches on early detection that are cost-effective and present advantages over the current method (based on the self-examination and mammography). The identification of such disease in early stage increases the prognosis and the survival rate. This article proposes to incorporate a low-cost and non-invasive diagnostic technique based on the use of thermal imaging. A textural analysis (by using statistical descriptors for automatic detection of abnormality in breast thermo grams) is considered for features as well as statistics measures computed from thermo grams' ROI (region of interest). Theses features feed a Nearest Neighbors classifier, where abnormal breasts are was identified with an accuracy of 94.44 %. The results of the study show that using simple textures descriptors, appropriate filtering and enhancement techniques it is possible to detected early onset of breast tumor in women of any age, with breasts of any density or size and even in pregnant women.","PeriodicalId":235698,"journal":{"name":"2015 Asia-Pacific Conference on Computer Aided System Engineering","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122171956","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}

This paper presents a methodology for identifying GP building blocks based on their respective sample counts in the population (defined as the number of times they were sampled by the recombination operators and included in surviving offspring).
