This particular property allows to recover depth information for surfaces where others stereo techniques failed, for example, textureless and highly specular surfaces. The consideration of an arbitrary BRDF (Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function) improves conventional stereo algorithms, in such a way that explicit or implicit assumptions about a reflectance function are not necessary and dense depth maps are obtained. Fixed specularities and correspondence between half-occluded regions reduce processing complexity which is an important advantage of this methodology. This paper provides a general geometry assembly to this approach extending its applicability to some specific areas where accurate depth measures are required. Several results from our implementation are shown using rendered ray-tracing stereo images.","PeriodicalId":371526,"journal":{"name":"16th International Conference on Electronics, Communications and Computers (CONIELECOMP'06)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132807346","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}

Equilibrium points take an important role in the modeling and stability analysis of dynamical systems. As a matter of fact, they are the base for developing lot of conceptual tools, like phase portraits, limit cycles, periodic orbits and bifurcation analysis. The modeling and simulation of the effect of a nonlinear oscillator attached to the end of a lumped transmission line parameters is described. The nonlinear oscillator is obtained by a shunt connection between a tunnel diode and a capacitor. The tunnel diode was chosen because is a semiconductor with a negative resistance region, having nonlinear characteristics with multiple equilibrium points. This points of the system were determined through direct application of the Lyapunov’s stability theorems.","PeriodicalId":371526,"journal":{"name":"16th International Conference on Electronics, Communications and Computers (CONIELECOMP'06)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130534160","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}

However, the high costs of cellular systems make it necessary to find different technologies that can reduce the prices while keeping the efficiency and mobility. For this reason we explored the advantages and disadvantages of VoIP over Wi-Fi (VoWF), which means using wireless networks based on the IP protocol (like internet) to transmit voice. In this project we tested the performance of VoWF using Skype and X-Lite which are VoIP softwares and demonstrated to have similar behavior. We also used a software called WirelessMon that allowed us to monitor the status of the wireless network. Although VoWF has many advantages like low cost and easy implementation, we concluded that this technology is not ready to substitute cellular systems like GSM because it has three major problems which are: long handoff time, low range and low capacity. However VoWF can be a good complement for GSM.","PeriodicalId":371526,"journal":{"name":"16th International Conference on Electronics, Communications and Computers (CONIELECOMP'06)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129548519","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 domain transformation is made with Daubechies D4 wavelet transform and the coefficients coding is made using the Embedded Zerotree Wavelet (EZW) algorithm. The proposed model offers as main advantages a saving of until 50 % of the image total storage space and even with the information loss the images are visually very similar to the originals. The system allows obtaining very near classification results to those results obtained using the original images. In order to test the model we present the problem of apple classification. Apples are classified in two categories: bad and good quality according to specified criteria which are evaluated with a process of extraction and selection of features and the use of a voting algorithm. The results presented demonstrated that the model allows good classification results with the so important advantage that represents the storage space saving.","PeriodicalId":371526,"journal":{"name":"16th International Conference on Electronics, Communications and Computers (CONIELECOMP'06)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123051814","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 approach is based on the Model-View-Controller and Generative Programming paradigms. Firstly, the WISBuilder framework applies the following separation of tasks: structure, business-logic and visual style. The system specification is performed with two high-level XML-based languages: WSML and WAML. Secondly, WISBuilder proposes the creation of reusable code templates for each high-level language. Thirdly, WISBuilder uses predefined code templates for expanding the system specification in high-level annotations. The goals of this framework are twofold: to speed-up development by writing less code and development in parallel; and to promote software reusability by reusing generic code templates. Experimental results with three small-scale Webbased information systems show an important reduction of programming effort, using the proposed framework in comparison with an equivalent manual coding. These results show initial evidence that software development based on both paradigms is a good practice.","PeriodicalId":371526,"journal":{"name":"16th International Conference on Electronics, Communications and Computers (CONIELECOMP'06)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122397371","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 MPLS technology is used because it offers a better performance and flexibility than IP routing. Six MPLS switches are modelled and simulated as follows. A label is assigned to the IP packet header by the first switch, which indicates the route that the frame must follow in the MPLS network. This label is then used by the MPLS middle switches for its management inside the network. Four middle switches change the label depending on the destination of the packet. The final switch removes the label of the IP packet header and the frame continues its path outside the MPLS network. Simulation results show that this approach allows the simulation of large networks consisting of even 256 MPLS switches.","PeriodicalId":371526,"journal":{"name":"16th International Conference on Electronics, Communications and Computers (CONIELECOMP'06)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130674260","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}
