A component repository system is one of the essential parts of self-growing robot software, and the SemBots project at ICU is developing a cell-based distributed repository system that reconfigures its structure dynamically for reflecting accessibility evolutionarily. To accomplish evolutionary repositories, we invent the concept of a cell that is a logical grouping of distributed repositories based on an ontology hierarchy. In addition, it is also a unit for evolutionary reconfiguration of the repository structure. In this paper, we describe the requirements and architecture of the cell-based repository system for self-growing software. We also present a prototype implementation and experiment of the repository system. Through the cell-based repositories, we achieve improved performance of self-growing actions for robots and efficient management of components for developers.","PeriodicalId":338799,"journal":{"name":"21st International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications Workshops (AINAW'07)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114446852","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}

Our experience has made it clear that sensor networks, and in particular our flock sensor network, have scarce support for application development needs. To provide for rapid development of pervasive services based on ingested sensor data from sensor networks we have developed both a sensor network and an accompanying infrastructure support (e.g. middleware). The sensor network protocols have been designed to meet the disconnection and power consumption requirements often found as a result of intrinsic properties of mobile sensor networks. Existing (enterprise) middleware platforms have severe limitations for the creation of services that need access to for example the local file system or external/local sensors. The component based programming model imposed by such middleware systems has however proven itself useful for the production of service oriented applications. We have created a container based middleware platform, similar to enterprise middleware systems but without their limitations. This platform makes it easier to create pervasive, service oriented, applications possibly based on data from sensor networks.","PeriodicalId":338799,"journal":{"name":"21st International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications Workshops (AINAW'07)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115125225","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}

Unit tests check the correctness of code fragments like methods, loops and conditional statements. Usually, every code fragment is involved in different tests. We propose a classification of tests, depending on the tested features, which delivers a higher detailed feedback than unclassified tests. Unclassified tests only deliver a feedback whether they failed or succeeded. The detailed feedback from the classified tests help to do a better code quality assessment and can be incorporated in tools helping to improve code quality. We demonstrate the power of this approach doing unit tests on network configuration.","PeriodicalId":338799,"journal":{"name":"21st International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications Workshops (AINAW'07)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128554732","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, we study how to choose multi-paths effectively by taking full advantage of the known geographic information. Geographic routing has to face a fundamental difficulty: the local minimum phenomenon. To help the packets get out of the local minima, long-known right hand rule is used, which lose many links and doesn 't suit parallel multi-paths. We propose a new method that greedy forwarding can be used in local minima through restricting forwarding regions. Based on the new method, a parallel multi-path routing algorithm (P2MR) is proposed. It can flexibly adjust forwarding schemes to satisfy different requirements of applications. Simulations show that P2MR can improve the performance of networks significantly.","PeriodicalId":338799,"journal":{"name":"21st International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications Workshops (AINAW'07)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129550810","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 particular, at the cost of increased message delivery delay, the energy conservation can be achieved by limiting the hop count between the communicating sensor-sink pair. In this paper we allow multihop routing between one sensor and mobile sinks, and consider the delay*energy metric, which is a compound metric to evaluate the performance of diverse data collection schemes. Through extensive simulation experiments of AODV performance over IEEE 802.15.4 MAC with clustered wireless sensor network setting, we investigate the fundamental problems of AODV without information of 802.15.4 MAC, and analyze the influence of incorporating multiple sinks.","PeriodicalId":338799,"journal":{"name":"21st International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications Workshops (AINAW'07)","volume":"29 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129925176","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}

Under the condition, we utilize the wavelet coefficient zerotree structure and the important wavelet coefficient clustering with similar statistical property which is based on bit plane decomposing, applying zerotree structure to express non-important wavelet coefficient effectively, using morphology cluster operation to simulate iris texture growth characteristic of important wavelet coefficient, realizing morphological zerotree compression.

These systems are very flexible, autonomous and geared to the organic, human model. They are designed for self-optimizing, self-configuring, self- healing and self-protecting behavior. In the networking area we currently notice a centralization trend resulted in centralized servers, from where an immense number of distributed clients in worldwide locations are being controlled. Because of this centralization process ever fewer administrators are responsible for ever more systems. Concurrently the complexity of software and the dependence on local and distributed systems are growing with each new software version. Therefore it makes sense to apply the organic computing approach to a system that supports this increased requirements, adopting the behavior of human system administrators with the special focus of self-healing.","PeriodicalId":338799,"journal":{"name":"21st International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications Workshops (AINAW'07)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129147745","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}

Typically, IE requires pre-defined relations and hand-crafted IE rules or annotated corpora, and these requirements are difficult to satisfy in real world domains such as the biomedical domain.
