After several experiments over a range of generations, the final quantization table was obtained. The detection of the best quantization table (Q-table) using genetic algorithms with the JPEG standard is a great tool to obtain the desired quality of recovered image. This method compares the SNR of the quantization tables created during the process, and choose the one with the higher SNR for a group of natural images by the natural selection, the program also give conditions to change anytime the parameters of the program to produce better results.","PeriodicalId":346880,"journal":{"name":"PACRIM. 2005 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and signal Processing, 2005.","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114970929","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}

These neurons are organized in layers and every neuron in each layer is connected to each neuron in the adjacent layers. This connection architecture makes for an enormous number of communication links between neurons. This is an issue when considering a hardware implementation of a neural network since communication links requires costly hardware space. To overcome this space problem incremental communication for multilayer neural networks has been proposed. Incremental communication works by only communicating the change in value between neurons as opposed to the entire magnitude of the value. This allows for the values to be represented with a fewer number of bits, and thus communicated with narrower communication links. To validate and analyze this technique a neural network is designed and implemented using both an incremental and traditional communication approach.","PeriodicalId":346880,"journal":{"name":"PACRIM. 2005 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and signal Processing, 2005.","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116633078","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 problem aims to provide access to shared critical resources among users regardless of their physical locations. To our knowledge, few distributed mutual exclusion algorithms using tokens are available for mobile ad hoc networks in the literature. This paper presents a consensus-based /spl lscr/-exclusion algorithm that explicitly copes with mobility associated with such networks. This paper also presents proofs of correctness and compares this /spl lscr/-exclusion algorithm with existing ones. Moreover, the algorithm is fault-resilient in the sense that it can tolerate loss of messages, link failures, and sudden crash or recovery of mobile nodes.","PeriodicalId":346880,"journal":{"name":"PACRIM. 2005 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and signal Processing, 2005.","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127255816","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 topology considered in this paper is the cube-connected cycle that demonstrates many attractive properties, such as high degree of regularity, symmetry and efficient computation. In this paper, we present a novel distributed broadcasting scheme for the cube-connected cycles, which is much simpler and requires only constant data included in each message and constant time to determine the neighbors to forward the message. Moreover, the time steps (i.e., the height of the broadcasting tree) taken by this algorithm is under diameter, which is optimal.","PeriodicalId":346880,"journal":{"name":"PACRIM. 2005 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and signal Processing, 2005.","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129896336","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 future VPNs, a new model, the hose model, is useful to improve the scalability. We present an adaptive bandwidth allocation method for providing QoS in the hose model.
