Thus, in this paper we propose a fully dynamic distributed algorithm to maintain a b-coloring of a graph when its topology evolves. This method determines a b-coloring in time O(¿2) and needs O(n¿) changes of colors to maintain a b-coloring of a graph, where n is the number of nodes and ¿ is the maximum degree in the graph.","PeriodicalId":345341,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing with Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114055268","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}

IEEE 802.11k neighbor report defines the neighbor APs which are potential transition candidates for the roaming target. But the selection method for the roaming target AP is left undefined. Several schemes have been proposed for fast handoff with neighbor APpsilas information. However, these schemes result in huge redundant transition messages overheads in the WLAN and require high computing power for the AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Access control) server. In this paper, we propose an adaptive neighbor caching (ANC) method to achieve higher handoff prediction accuracy for selecting proper candidate APs in the Neighbor Report. An adaptive predictability index is introduced for selecting those potential roaming APs, which can mitigate the scanning latency and the pre-authentication key distribution message overhead in the WLAN as well as computing loading for the AAA server. Simulation results present up to 83.5% of transition messages are reduced in comparison to the Proactive Neighbor Caching (PNC), 56.4% of candidate AP selection accuracy is improved and 37.5% of transition messages are reduced in comparison to the Selective Neighbor Caching (SNC).","PeriodicalId":345341,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing with Applications","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122904375","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}

The proposed method is implemented using compute unified device architecture (CUDA), which offers us a development environment for performing general-purpose computation on the GPU. Our method is based on Harish's iterative algorithm that computes the cost of the single-source shortest path (SSSP) for every source vertex. We present that exploiting task parallelism in the APSP problem allows us to efficiently use on-chip memory in the GPU, reducing the amount of data being transferred from relatively slower off-chip memory. Furthermore, our task parallel scheme is useful to exploit a higher parallelism, increasing the efficiency with highly threaded code. As a result, our method is 3.4--15 times faster than the prior method. Using on-chip memory, our method eliminates approximately 20% of data loads from off-chip memory.","PeriodicalId":345341,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing with Applications","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131278009","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}

Thus, their dependability became a major concern. But, dependability issues have not been well explored so far in pervasive computing research. Pervasive environments are highly complex, heterogeneous and geographically dispersed. As a result, current means and facets of dependability do not address the needs of these systems. A solution to achieve this goal should be to adopt a dependability approach based on survivability in pervasive environments. But, the survivability suffers from a remarkable lack of suitable and mature methods for using it in practice. In this paper, we focus on achieving survivability in pervasive environments. First, we introduce a formal survivability model based on a rigorous definition of the concept of acceptable service and a method for calculating the degree of survivability of the system. Then, we present the basis for a new approach to adapt the system in adverse operation environment to comply with its survivability specification. To fix ideas, a case study in pervasive healthcare is presented.","PeriodicalId":345341,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing with Applications","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134346343","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}

Acoustic sensors, for instance, which have been popular in low power wireless sensor networks, are difficult to calibrate in this manner, given their significant hardware variability, large dynamic range, sensitivity to battery power level, and complex spatial/temporal environmental variations. In this paper, we submit that the applicability of calibration is broadened by lifting the calibration problem from the level of sensors to that of sensing applications. We show feasibility of adaptive, easy, and accurate calibration at the level of application-specific features, via an example of recovering the feature of acoustic signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) that is useful in event-detection applications. By easy, we mean there is an efficient, purely local, and stimulus-free procedure for recovering SNR (that compares measured variances for multiple randomly chosen sensitivities, effected via acoustic sensor hardware support); unlike extant calibration methods, the procedure does not need to rely on any synchronization among nodes, long-term correlation between their respective environments, or assumptions about training events. And by accurate, we mean the procedure yields low error in SNR estimation. We provide experimental validation of the difficulty of directly calibrating acoustic signals and the accuracy of our SNR calibration procedure.","PeriodicalId":345341,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing with Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130857524","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}

The reservation API is implemented for making and releasing a reservation, as well as for showing available reservations. The allocation API is implemented to request, to check, and to release a resource in a convenient way. The middle tier is designed to hide the complexity of the underlying grid infrastructure, and implemented to provide several allocation algorithms. One of the main backend services is Maui-based reservation service at present. A portal to facilitate the resource management is also available.
