Although various simulation studies and estimations over testbeds have investigated the QoS which is offered via the DiffServ framework, almost all of them were focused on the characteristics in a single DiffServ domain. However, the Internet is actually composed of a large number of AS (assured service) domains, and thus packets are very likely to arrive at their destinations through many different domains. From this viewpoint, we focus on the QoS performance in the model consisting of multiple DiffServ domains, especially we investigate quality of assured service to achieve statistical bandwidth allocation with AF-PHB (assured forwarding per hop behavior). Our simulation results show some throughput characteristics of flows over multiple DiffServ domains, and we also make it clear whether the network configurations and traffic properties have impacts on QoS over multiple DiffServ domains or not.","PeriodicalId":261724,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing (IEEE Cat.

An effective solution for packet loss is to perform concealment at the receiver. In this paper, we propose a concealment scheme for the 'I' frame missing odd or even slices that address the above problems. The proposed concealment scheme uses the previous frame macroblock (MB) or the MB motion vector (MV) with a fast motion estimation algorithm, located at the same spatial location as the missing MB. The decision between the MB or MB MV with a fast motion estimation algorithm is determined by the amount of motion between the decoded upper and lower 1 pixel wide boundary (if available) of the missing MB and the MB located in same spatial location in the previous frame. The proposed scheme produced similar peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) results while the Central Processing Unit (CPU) time is reduced by a factor of 30 when compared to the full search concealment technique.","PeriodicalId":261724,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing (IEEE Cat.

We have been developing navigation systems for semi-structured data like as Web data and bibliographic data. To navigate beginners, our systems give the association rules derived by the algorithm. However, the algorithm tends to derive those rules that contain noises such as stopwords then many systems use noise filters to remove such noises. In order to remove the noises automatically and derive more effective rules, we proposed an algorithm using the true positive rate and the false positive rate of derived rules in a database based on the ROC analysis. In this paper, we make corrections in the parameters to improve the extended mining association algorithm. Moreover, we evaluate the performance of our proposed algorithm using a experimental database and show how our proposed algorithm can derive effective association rules. We also show that our proposed algorithms can remove stopwords automatically from raw data.","PeriodicalId":261724,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing (IEEE Cat.

In order to perform such an upgrade, the database server is required to be taken offline for a long time so that databases in the old machine can be moved to the new one. Current applications, however, require that databases should be continually available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, and they cannot afford an offline database for any significant amount of time. Such a contradiction is affecting negatively the business activity of companies, hospitals, polices, etc., and has become a serious problem. In this paper we address a very practical and important subject: upgrading a database machine on line, i.e., moving a database from the old machine to the new one concurrently with users' reading and writing of the database.

It was primarily designed as a data model with a formal natural language. However, it is now a popular relational database design tool. NIAM shows clear distinction between the concept of objects and labels. Each entity type must have a unique identifier. So, it is suitable to be mapped to relational database schemas since it is based on the external identifier concept such as the primary keys. Nowadays, object-oriented databases popularity has increased. It is suitable for the representation of complex objects without external identifiers. This ability also makes it suitable for the representation of temporal data. Valid time and transaction time can be attached to attributes without any changes to the identifiers and time normalization which is required if the relational database model is used. This paper presents OONIAM, an extension to NIAM that supports the concepts of complex objects and temporal databases. The concepts of methods, main schemas and sub schemas are also introduced. A set of transformation steps from an OONIAM schema to object database schema is provided.","PeriodicalId":261724,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing (IEEE Cat.

Moreover, filtering the contents based on the contents providers' restrictions, the system can distribute the contents, with which both the user and the contents providers are satisfied. When distributing multiple contents at once, we should consider the relations between the contents. In this proposed method, we introduce the idea of the scenario selecting the contents. Processing the scenario template dynamically generates the scenario, which expresses the relations between the contents. Our system provides the contents distribution service, which realizes the personalization and the coordination in the presentations. We carried out the demonstrative experiments on the Internet using our system, which we implemented. In the experiments, it turns out that many users are satisfied with the coordination and the personalization in the presentations.

In response to these demands, we have developed a server named TRES (traffic and reliability engineering server). TRES calculates and sets wide bandwidth paths while satisfying many policy constraints.
