Computational intelligent systems : evolving dynamic Bayesian networks
(2009)
In this thesis, a new class of temporal probabilistic modelling, called evolving dynamic Bayesian networks (EDBN), is proposed and demonstrated to make technology easier so as to accommodate both experts and non-experts, ...
Peer-to-peer systems for simple and flexible information sharing
(2009)
Peer to peer computing (P2P) is an architecture that enables applications to access shared resources, with peers having similar capabilities and responsibilities. The ubiquity of P2P computing and its increasing adoption ...
A hardware testbed for measuring IEEE 802.11g DCF performance
(2009)
The Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) is the oldest and most widely-used IEEE 802.11 contention-based channel access control protocol. DCF adds a significant amount of overhead in the form of preambles, frame headers, ...
High-level control of agent-based crowds by means of general constraints
(2009)
The use of computer-generated crowds in visual effects has grown tremendously since the warring armies of virtual ores and elves were seen in The Lord of the Rings. These crowds are generated by agent-based simulations, ...
The design of an intelligent parking system using wireless sensor networks and multi-protocol label switching
(2009)
The challenge of parking management has increasingly posed the need for smart solutions. Motorists in today's busy world seek the best option in locating available parking points. The need for an efficient parking system ...
A Tour of MOOS-IvP Autonomy Software Modules
(2009-02-13)
This paper provides an overview of the MOOS-IvP autonomy software modules. The MOOS-IvP collection of software, i.e., codebase, described here has been developed and is currently maintained by three organizations - Oxford ...
Self-Stabilizing Message Routing in Mobile ad hoc Networks
(2009-01-28)
We present a self-stabilizing algorithm for routing messages between arbitrary pairs of nodes in a mobile ad hoc network. Our algorithm assumes the availability of a reliable GPS service, which supplies mobile nodes with ...
SoftCast: One Video to Serve All Wireless Receivers
(2009-02-07)
The main challenge in wireless video multicast is to scalably serve multiple receivers who have different channel characteristics. Current wireless transmission schemes, however, cannot support smooth degradation. Specifically, ...
Overcoming the Antennas-Per-Node Throughput Limit in MIMO LANs
(2009-02-18)
Today, the number of concurrent packets in a MIMO LAN is limited by the number of antennas on the AP. This paper shows how to overcome this limit. It presents a new design where multiple client-AP pairs can communicate ...
HAMPI: A Solver for String Constraints
(2009-02-04)
Many automatic testing, analysis, and verification techniques for programs can be effectively reduced to a constraint-generation phase followed by a constraint-solving phase. This separation of concerns often leads to more ...
