In this study, we applied three-dimensional (3D) texture feature extraction methods to cancer cell nuclei images and evaluated the validity of them for computerized cell nuclei grading. Individual images of 1,800 cell nuclei were extracted from 8 classes of renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) tissues using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). First, we extracted the chromatin texture quantitatively by calculating 3D gray-level co-occurrence matrices (3D GLCM) and 3D run length matrices (3D GLRLM). To demonstrate the suitability of 3D texture features for grading, we had performed a principal component analysis to reduce feature dimensionality, then, we also performed discriminant analysis as statistical classifier. Finally this result was compared with the result of classification using several optimized features that extracted from stepwise features selection. Additionally AUC (area under curve) analysis was performed for the grade 2 and 3 cell images. Three dimensional texture features have potential for use as fundamental elements in developing a new nuclear grading system with accurate diagnosis and predicting prognosis.","PeriodicalId":271067,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127386897","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}

Unicast polling is used for bandwidth reservation and round-robin scheduling is applied at the base station. A discrete-time analytical model is developed with general independent and identically distributed arrivals during a time slot. The model enables asymmetric traffic flows and different message sizes at the subscriber stations. The exact mean overall delay is obtained for the nrtPS service flow in the scenario when the base station splits the subscriber stations into individually polled groups.

Power efficient designing enables a high performance router at low power consumption. As a part of power efficient designing, we have integrated ASICs/FPGAs of routers and developed a scalable central architecture. Additionally, we used new high speed memories and high speed interfaces such as a SerDes. As a result, the whole power consumption of our router adopting power efficient designing was reduced over 50% compared to conventional routers. Power saving designing is an approach to cut down wasted power consumption. Two major aspects belong to power saving designing, which are static performance control and dynamic performance control. We have been studying on static performance control, such as power cutting technology per port or module, and power saving mode by frequency switching. We were successful in saving 10-20% of power compared to conventional routers using this power saving mode by frequency switching. Furthermore, we introduce the dynamic performance control as a promising power saving approach for next generation routers. The router controls its performance dynamically according to the amount of received traffic. We show two technologies needed for this approach, which are the dynamically performance controllable router architecture/circuit, and the traffic monitoring/predicting technology. We consider that working on these technologies will save more power.","PeriodicalId":271067,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125426167","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}

Against the problem, we have proposed a new bandwidth- based TCP congestion control mechanism, TCP Symbiosis. Unlike the recent works on delay-based and hybrid congestion control, TCP Symbiosis relies on the bandwidth measurement to control the congestion window size. Although we have confirmed that TCP Symbiosis has the effectiveness in terms of average throughput, stability, and scalability to the bandwidth-delay product, the throughput of TCP Symbiosis highly depends on the measurement results of available bandwidth. In this paper, we redesign TCP Symbiosis to deal with the measurement error and noise of the available bandwidth. First, we propose the dynamic parameter setting algorithm based on the variance of the measured available bandwidth. Second, for the purpose of absorbing the ill-effect of environmental change, we propose to add self-induced oscillation to the congestion window size of TCP connection. We confirm the effectiveness of the proposed methods through ns-2 simulation experiments.","PeriodicalId":271067,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125945486","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}

Traditional routing protocols trigger the routing updates after the nodes detect the route failure. Even if the link condition is getting worse which means the link is likely to break in the future, the nodes will still transmit the packets along the current path. MARP uses cognitive techniques to predict when the link is likely to break so that it can inform the previous hop to trigger the routing updates before the link breaks. In this way, the nodes are aware of the physical topology changes. Based on simulation results, MARP can increase overall performance of the network significantly.","PeriodicalId":271067,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121694535","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}

Due to new requirements of traffic in the core Internet, next generation routers with enhanced memory capacity and computing resources, distributed across a very high speed switching fabric are developed in order to replace the currently used interdomain routers. An essential requirement for these routers is to redesign the current routing and signaling software modules, traditionally with centralized architectures, which do not scale in order to fully exploit such an advanced router hardware architecture. This paper discusses a first distributed BGP architecture for next generation routers, aiming at increasing the scalability and resiliency. The proposed architecture is based on a set of BGP processes running on a set of control cards of a router. The distributed processes cooperate in a manner that internally exploits the distributed hardware architecture of next generation router, while maintaining the behavior of a single routing protocol process communicating with its peers in the network. The proposed architecture improves both the overall performance and the resiliency of routers in the presence of faults.","PeriodicalId":271067,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128872882","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}
