The methods of the classic queuing theory (the mean value analysis, the convolution method) adopt unrealistic assumptions. The stochastic queuing network methods are not adequate for investigation of actual networks. Therefore, the paper presents an approximate method based on many-year performance evaluation experience and some heuristics. The approach is based on the notion of the closed route within the computer network under investigation; the complete network being described as a collection of such closed routes. The method was successfully validated by simulation and measurements. Some more complex approximations, feasible due to development of the computing tools, are also proposed.","PeriodicalId":434315,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Intelligent Systems, Modelling and Simulation","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114348340","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}

Traditional security trends tried to overcome this problem by using a low-level access control policy which maps a user’s identity to a local account. This approach is not scalable and is hard to manage in a distributed environment. Current trends started adopting approaches that pass attributes for authorization instead of passing user’s credentials. The problem still hasn’t been solved completely primarily because it uses PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) user certificate for authorization, and the main problem with this approach is the inflexibility of the PKI infrastructure when it comes to open distributed systems (Grid). Additionally implementations of attribute-based authorization have largely adopted the XML based SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) and XACML (eXtensible Access Control Markup Language) standards for authentication and authorization. The author investigates an approach that uses XACML for Authorizations and utilizes a proxy for the attribute authorityto allow for the distribution of attribute requests to numerous attribute authorities to whom the user is subscribed.","PeriodicalId":434315,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Intelligent Systems, Modelling and Simulation","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127866091","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}

One of the main differences between this new system, which is called the Smart Distance Keeping (SDK), and the classical ACC is the choice of the safe distance. This later is the distance between the vehicle (with the ACC or the SDK system) and the front obstacle (which may be a vehicle). It is supposed fixe in the case of the ACC, while variable in the case of the SDK. The variation of this distance (in the case of SDK) depends essentially on the relative velocity between the vehicle and the front obstacle. The main contribution of this work is on the SDK system architecture, the design of its environment model, and the proposition of a detection and isolation strategy for some of the possible faults that may be produced on the system.","PeriodicalId":434315,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Intelligent Systems, Modelling and Simulation","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131997635","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 paper proposes an artificial neural network (ANN) model for the determination of megavoltage photon beams spectra. We have computed bremsstrahlung spectra of 4 to 25 MV beams for different medical linear accelerators. The ANN model is trained with thousands of data sets obtained from the Monte Carlo (MC) constructed spectra data of different energies. The computed spectra from the ANN model are verified by its comparison with published Monte Carlo spectra data and we have found an excellent agreement in the results. A major advantage of the ANN model is its ability of instantaneous data analysis after learning phase, enabling automated data analysis within short period for dose optimization with greater accuracy.","PeriodicalId":434315,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Intelligent Systems, Modelling and Simulation","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126637086","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 conventional scheduling schemes at the application layer, a nodes whose sensing area is covered by its neighbours goes to a sleep state. Whereas the proposed algorithm suggests that instead of putting the redundant nodes to sleep if they are used for some energy intensive task for example as a relay station for inter cluster communication. This will be more energy efficient than the conventional sleep/wakeup scheduling for WSNs.

In a large-scale simulation, computation intensive region matching would have a direct impact on the simulation performance. To deal with the high computation cost of region matching, the whole process of region matching is offloaded to graphical processing units (GPUs) based on Computer Unified Device Architecture (CUDA). Two approaches are proposed to perform region matching in parallel. Several metrics, including different numbers of regions, different sizes of regions and different distributions of regions, are used in the experimental tests. The experimental results indicate that the performance of region matching on a GPU can be improved more than one or two orders of magnitude in comparison with that on a CPU.","PeriodicalId":434315,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Intelligent Systems, Modelling and Simulation","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122933296","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}
