A technique called interactive evolutionary computation (IEC) is introduced to accelerate user's invention and inspiration of new shapes. The proposed IEC-based design system generates aesthetically pleasing shapes through the simulation of natural evolutionary processes. The user only is required to specify his/her subjective preference of each shape generated by the IEC. The system allows even beginners with little knowledge and experiences of the 3D modeling to acquire innovative shapes. Because the system is developed based on a 3D geometric modeler using an implicit surface method, it also provides skilled experts with an advanced modeling interface. The experts can directly modify the internal parameters of the 3D models to make them more elaborate ones. Some experimental results are presented to show the potential of the proposed modeling method.","PeriodicalId":332734,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 15th International Conference on Information Networking","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126872231","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 the project presented we make a small but practical step toward the grand vision of pervasive HPC by using some of the prevailing Internet technologies to enable access of HPC anytime and anywhere. Specifically, the project focuses on HPC that could be accessed by using the World Wide Web. We have conducted experiments based on engineering/scientific applications. Examples include simulations of automated guided vehicles (hereafter AGVs for short) in container port operations, N-body and molecular simulations. We initially build systems based on an ad-hoc approach, whose merits and demerits are identified. Then, we employ Jini technology to reconstruct the system architecture and present a more efficient and robust model. Performance studies are also presented. The objectives are to explore and address relevant issues, evaluate various approaches, demonstrate a workable version and conduct experiments with actual Web-enabled applications. The result is that now we are able to partially realize the dream of using the HPCs anytime and anywhere through devices such as a wireless/mobile computer, as long as they are armed with a common Web browser.","PeriodicalId":332734,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 15th International Conference on Information Networking","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117126495","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}

We focus on dynamic routing of virtual path (VP)-based ATM networks. First, the effective bandwidth is used to simplify call admission control (CAC) of VP-based ATM networks, while maintaining a certain level of multiplexing gain. We propose a novel dynamic routing random early blocking routing (REBR) as CAC for virtual connections. Further we derive approximation methods to calculate the call-level related performance measures, e.g., call blocking probability and expected revenue loss. It is shown that approximation results are close to simulation results for most cases considered. It is shown via approximation and/or simulation that REBR performs better than least loaded routing (LLR) under light and moderate traffic loads, while performs similar to LLR under heavy traffic loads. We also compare REBR and other routing schemes, and similar conclusions can be drawn. We consider 2-rate heterogeneous traffic cases. Last but not least, various dynamic routing schemes are compared under non-stationary traffic.","PeriodicalId":332734,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 15th International Conference on Information Networking","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124219315","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}

Therefore much research on traffic engineering has been focused on building traffic models to efficiently adapt multimedia traffic to the Internet. But, we find that lack of traffic shaping in conventional congestion control algorithms also makes traffic more bursty because conventional congestion control algorithms just only restrict the upper limit of the sending capability of TCP sessions during a RTT. As a result, TCP sessions can send the allowed maximum data at once without considering network congestion. This pattern of traffic generation can enlarge problems of burstiness and unpredictability of traffic. This paper suggests a new traffic generation algorithm for alleviating burstiness of traffic by introducing a traffic shaping concept into congestion control. The proposed method is \"window based segment spacing\", it can control data to be spaced evenly between segments during a RTT before sending. We present the improved result by using network simulator, ns2. The suggested algorithm can reduce packet loss to less than a half of that of conventional algorithms.","PeriodicalId":332734,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 15th International Conference on Information Networking","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126364029","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}

We apply a regional search for the fractal image compression to reduce the communication cost on the distributed system PVM. The regional search is a partitioned iterated function system search from a region of the image instead of over the whole image. Because the area surrounding a partitioned block is similar to this block possibly, finding the fractal codes by regional search has a higher compression ratio and less compression time. When implemented on the PVM, the fractal image compression using regional search reduces the compression time with lower compression loss. When we compress the image Lena with an image size of 1024/spl times/1024 using a region size of 512/spl times/512 on the PVM with 4 Pentium II-300 PCs, the compression time is 13.6 seconds, the compression ratio is 6.34 and the PSNR is 38.59.
