An effective way to reduce the impact of node mobility is to select long lifetime routing paths in the network. We propose a link lifetime-based segment-by-segment routing protocol (LL-SSR) in mobile ad hoc networks, where each node maintains a routing table for its k-hop region. Simulation studies show that LL-SSR has better scalability and higher packet delivery ratio when compared with GPSR.","PeriodicalId":345341,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing with Applications","volume":"47 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":"130618141","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 later case, the competence of the WSN must not be compromised. In general, the competence of a WSN is its ability to perform its function in an accurate and timely fashion. These two, related, Quality of Service (QoS) metrics are primarily affected by the density and latency of data from the environment, respectively. Without adequate density, interesting events may not be adequately observed or missed completely by the application, while stale data could result in event detection occurring too late. In opposition to this is the fact that the energy consumed by the network is related to the number of active nodes in the deployment. Therefore, given that the nodes have finite power resources, a trade-off exists between the longevity and QoS provided by the network and it is crucial that both aspects are considered when evaluating a power management protocol. In this paper, we present an evaluation of a novel node hibernation technique based on interpolated sensor readings according to these four metrics: energy consumption, density, message latency and the accuracy of an application utilising the data from the WSN. A comparison with a standard WSN that does not engage in power management is also presented, in order to show the overhead in the protocols operation.","PeriodicalId":345341,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing with Applications","volume":"43 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":"133497733","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 algorithm uses information sampled from around detected corner points in the image. A corner detection approach based on line intersections has been employed using Hough transform for line detection and then finding intersecting, near intersecting or complex shaped corners. As the affine transformations preserve the co-linearity of points on a line and their intersection properties, the corner points obtained as such retain the much desired property of repeatability and hence ensure the similar pixel samples under various transformations and are robust to noise. K-means clustering algorithm is used to assign class labels to the extracted sample mean and variance of the corner regions from a random selection of training images and used for learning a Gaussian Byes classifier to classify whole training image database. Histogram of the class members in an image has been used as a feature vector. The retrieval performance and behavior of the algorithm has been tested using four different similarity measures.","PeriodicalId":345341,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing with Applications","volume":"95 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113988233","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}

As a result, these schemes not only incur overheads comparable to non-virtual server-based systems, but also achieve better query performance.","PeriodicalId":345341,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing with Applications","volume":"114 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":"123957948","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}

Unlike other domains, the electronics industry is driven by the necessity of protecting the intellectual property of the data, designs and software associated with next generation electronics devices and therefore requires fine-grained security. Similarly, the project also demands seamless access to large scale high performance compute resources for atomic scale device simulations and the capability to manage the hundreds of thousands of files and the metadata associated with these simulations. Within this context, the project has explored a wide range of authentication and authorization infrastructures facilitating compute resource access and providing fine-grained security over numerous distributed file stores and files. We conclude that no single security solution meets the needs of the project. This paper describes the experiences of applying X.509-based certificates and public key infrastructures, VOMS, PERMIS, Kerberos and the Internet2 Shibboleth technologies for nanoCMOS security.

The framework was designed to become the basis of debugging tools which scale successfully on systems with tens to hundreds of thousands of cores. With several systems coming online at more than 50,000 cores in the past year, debuggers which can run at these scales are now required. The proposed framework offers two features not found in current generation debugging tools: the ability to debug \"offline'', and a central database to act as a repository of debugging information. These two features enable the GDBase debugger to offer several advantages. The debugger can be used in conjunction with modern batch systems with low overhead, with user interaction taking place after the parallel system resources are freed. The use of a database and a simple API allows for multiple interfaces and data mining tools to be implemented to provide novel ways of viewing and analyzing debugging data. The database also enables cross-run analysis, and the combination of debugging, performance, and system health information. Evidence is provided of the scalability of the framework, as well as output from several simple analysis tools that have been implemented.","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":"115810090","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 latency for the multiplication of two n-digit Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) operands is (n + 1) cycles and a new multiplication can begin every n cycle. The accumulation of final partial products and the first iteration of partial product generation for next set of inputs are done simultaneously. This iterative decimal multiplier offers low latency and high throughput, and can be extended for decimal floating-point multiplication.","PeriodicalId":345341,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing with Applications","volume":"70 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114102360","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}
