A novel architecture processes the data from pervasive devices penetrating everyday objects to the cheapest level. The synergetic heterogeneity of completely different recognition principles allows one to tailor the perceived positioning probability to the specific requirements of the target application.","PeriodicalId":366183,"journal":{"name":"29th Annual IEEE International Conference on Local Computer Networks","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117207786","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 Berkeley UPC software, which operates on top of their Global Addressing Space Networking (GASNet) communication system, is a portable, high-performance implementation of UPC for large-scale clusters. The Scalable Coherent Interface (SCI), a torus-based system-area network (SAN), is known for its ability to provide very low latency transfers as well as its direct support for both shared-memory and message-passing communications. High-speed clusters constructed around SCI promise to he a potent platform for large-scale UPC applications. This work introduces the design of the core API for the new SCI conduit for GASNet and UPC, which is based on active messages (AM). Latency and bandwidth data were collected and are compared with raw SCI results and with other existing GASNet conduits. The outcome shows that the new GASNet SCI conduit is able to provide promising performance in support of UPC applications.","PeriodicalId":366183,"journal":{"name":"29th Annual IEEE International Conference on Local Computer Networks","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129237004","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}

It is equipped with many new features, such as multi-stream and multi-homing, and still maintains TCP-like congestion control mechanisms. Like TCP, SCTP fails to differentiate wireless loss from congestion loss, thus its performance over wired-cum-wireless networks suffers from unnecessary congestion window decreases. To improve the performance of SCTP in such a scenario, a new approach with the collaboration of multiple entities and interaction of multiple network layers is proposed. Simulation experiments, conducted through extended ns-2, validated that the proposed approach is adaptive to the variable bit error rate (BER) of the wireless channel, and can achieve higher goodput along with higher bandwidth utilization efficiency.","PeriodicalId":366183,"journal":{"name":"29th Annual IEEE International Conference on Local Computer Networks","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114806963","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 mobile users move between locations utilising such services, their access patterns not only exhibit temporal locality, but also spatial locality. Traditional cache replacement policies were designed to deal with temporal locality, as a result, they are inefficient location dependent services. In this paper a mobility-aware algorithm called MARS+ is proposed to detect regular client movement patterns and provides information to improve cache performance. Test results show that MARS+ improves clients' cache hit ratio by more than 16% compared to existing policies.","PeriodicalId":366183,"journal":{"name":"29th Annual IEEE International Conference on Local Computer Networks","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127724146","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}

This functionality is critical in field-deployable sensor networks where continuous operation is expensive and system adaptation is critical for extended operation in the face of dynamic external events. We show results on various synthetic heterogeneous sensor networks where only partially accurate information about the sensing system is available and illustrate the efficacy of the control algorithm in handling such incorrect models with a negligible increase in transmission of the optimal control settings. We show that the run-time performance of the control algorithm scales quadratically with increasing number of sensors.","PeriodicalId":366183,"journal":{"name":"29th Annual IEEE International Conference on Local Computer Networks","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134062425","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}
