This paper discusses the results of utilizing advanced EKM modeling techniques to manage Sensor-Actor networks (SANETs) based upon the Holonic Architectural Framework. EKMs allow a quantitative analysis of an algorithmic artificial neural network process by using an indirect-mapping EKM to self-organize from a given input space to administer SANET routing and clustering functions with a control parameter...
The growing need for computationally demanding systems triggers the development of various network-oriented computing systems organized in a distributed manner. In this work we concentrate on one kind of such systems, i.e. public-resource computing systems. The considered system works on the top of an overlay network and uses personal computers and other relatively simple electronic equipment instead...
In this work we focus on the problem of survivable network design for simultaneous unicast and anycast flows. This problem follows from the growing popularity of network services applying the anycast paradigm. The anycasting is defined as one-to-one-of-many transmission and is applied in Domain Name Service (DNS), peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, Content Delivery Networks (CDN). In this work we formulate...
The article presents innovative methods for designing and controlling topology in mesh networks. The authors of the paper simulate the procedure of deploying a mesh structure and prove that the shortest path for such a network is also one with the least number of hops in the sense of intermediate nodes.
An autofocus algorithm employing orthogonal series expansions is proposed. Several instances of the generic algorithm, based on discrete trigonometric, polynomial and wavelet series, are reviewed. The algorithms are easy to implement in the transform coders used in digital cameras. Formal analysis of the algorithm properties is illustrated in experiments. Some practical issues are also discussed.
The need and interest in conducting biomedical research outside the traditional laboratory is increasing. In the field testing such as in the participant's home or work environment is a growing consideration when undertaking biomedical investigation. This type of research requires at a minimum semi-autonomous computer systems that collect such data and send it back to the laboratory for processing...
The paper presents research results pertaining to transmission parameters of wireless communication systems, based on WiMax and IEEE 802.11x radio interfaces. Research was performed in severe operating conditions of an underground mine - testing various parameters, such as: throughput, delays and maximum range.
Optical fiber technology is an important branch of science and technology, but also economy. Together with related disciplines it creates wider areas like optoelectronics and photonics. Optical fiber technology is developed in this country rather dynamically, proportionally to the available funds designed locally for research and applications. Recently this development was enhanced with considerable...
Classification is an important task in image analysis. Simply recognizing an object in an image can be a daunting step for a computer algorithm. The methodologies are often simple but rely heavily on the thresholding of the image. The operation of turning a color or gray-scale image into a black and white image is a determining step in the effectiveness of a solution. Thresholding methods perform...
A novel method for calculation of the entropy measure in wavelet space is proposed. This perceived-based entropy measure uses a Second Order Model entropy estimator, in which the occurrence of neighbors is considered in formulation. It has the intention to allow the implementation of a more suitable measure in coding processes and a relationship between the metric and the description of perceptual...
Statechart diagrams, in general, are visual formalism for description of complex systems behaiour. Digital controllers, which act as reactive systems, can be very conveniently modeled with statecharts and efficiently synthesized in modern programmable devices. The paper presents in details syntax and semantics of statecharts and new implementation scheme. The issue of statecharts synthesis is not...
This paper proposes a relational abstraction for Wireless Sensors Network where node can identify its neighbors around it. Because of limited radio link range only some of nodes have a direct contact with the base station and transmission is carried out in a multihop way so information is send from one node to another towards the BS. We propose a relation π that represents cooperation between nodes...
In the paper an approximate algorithm for optimizing of distributed computing WAN network is proposed. Distributed computing systems become the common tools in different kind of business, science and even entertainment. In order to minimize processing time of data and utilize spare resources available on remote systems, many companies and institutions decide to build and maintain own wide area networks...
High Altitude Platform (HAP) concept and idea is presented in the article. Characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of HAPs are described. There is also the comparison available between HAPs and existing telecommunication infrastructure (terrestrial and satellite). Selected examples of the possible limitation and technological restrictions of HAP based systems are presented in the article.
The WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) system based on the IEEE 802.16 family of standards is a promising technology for last-mile access. Both IEEE 802.16 and 3GPP-LTE systems candidate for becoming the 4G network of choice. The need to evaluate multiple performance enhancing techniques like MIMO, OFDM(A), novel channel coding schemes like non-binary LDPC codes, together with...
Electromagnetic fields radiation has raised concerns within several segments of the population in the past three decades. Many studies proved inconclusive, in part due to the scarcity of data. We propose the idea of a geographical model based radiation pollution database. We discuss networked sensing technology for detection and monitoring of electromagnetic fields. We elaborate on software engineering...
Companding, as a variant of audio level compression, can help reduce the dynamic range of an audio signal. In analog (digital) systems, this can increase the signal-to-noise ratio (signal to quantization noise ratio) achieved during transmission. The µ-law algorithm that is primarily used in the digital telecommunication systems of North America and Japan, adapts a companding scheme that can expand...
In order to link a source-destination node pair in inter-working multi-hop wireless networks, links or routes must first be available. It is only after establishing the availability of links and routes between nodes that factors which affect connectivity e.g. interference can be considered. Connectivity in multi-hop wireless networks has been studied. However, the studies focused on network connectivity...
Radio frequency spectrum mapping allows determining the radio frequency signatures prevalent within an environment. We address the primary frequency bands used for cellular, wireless Local Area Network (LAN), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and Ultra-wideband (UWB) communications. The purpose of the experiment presented in this paper is to map the detected radio frequencies within...
The IP Multimedia Subsystem is a telecommunications framework with a standard architecture for the provision of services. While the services themselves have not been standardised, standards do exist for basic technologies that can be re-used and aggregated in order to construct more complex services. These elements are called service capabilities by the 3GPP and service enablers by the OMA, both of...
