General Chair's Welcome
On behalf of the Tencon '05 Organising Committee, I would like to welcome you
to Tencon '05, held in the Crown Promenade Hotel, Melbourne from Monday 21
November to Thursday 24 November 2005.

As you will see from the enclosed program, we have 3 days full of papers from
leading researchers from around the Region and around the world. Over 500
papers will be presented in 102 sessions. These papers were selected by the
Technical Program Committee as representing the leading thinking on a variety
of important topics.

In addition, for those wanting to catch up with the latest advances in the current topical
technologies, eight half day tutorials will be held on Monday 21 November, delivered by leading
experts in their fields.

We hope you enjoy your stay in beautiful Melbourne.

Hugh Bradlow
Chair, Organising Committee, Tencon '05

TPC Chair Welcome

On behalf of the Technical Program Committee, I would like to welcome you to

Tencon 05. We have worked very hard to ensure that this conference will be able
to provide you with a good way of promoting your research and interacting with
your colleagues. The theme of our conference is “A Meeting Place for Converging
Technologies and People”, so we do hope that you take advantage of the
opportunity to meet and network with people working in your research field and
related areas. This year’s Tencon has also incorporated ATNAC 2005 and we are
delighted to have been able to include multiple streams and guest speakers to
address the many exciting issues emerging from the area of telecommunication
networks and applications.
We received over 800 submissions to our conference and accepted approximately 530 papers for
oral and poster presentation. Most papers represented collaborations between a number of
authors and, for the accepted papers in the conference, there are over 1300 individuals involved -
from approximately 40 different countries in the IEEE Region 10 and beyond. In addition to the
large number of papers from Australia, substantial contributions were also made by authors
coming from China, India, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysia and Korea.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many people who worked tirelessly in the
background to ensure that this conference will be a success. In particular, we had nearly 200
reviewers helping us to review the papers and we had to process over 2000 individual reviews. To
my Technical Program Committee, I would like to thank them very much for their contribution to the
success of this program; I know that many people worked late into the night after their normal
daytime jobs had been completed in order to perform the many tasks required of them. To my
Deputy TPC Chairman, Dr Zahir Hussain, I am most grateful for your continued support and
assistance throughout the many difficult and busy times.
Finally, I hope that all attendees enjoy their stay in the World’s Most Liveable City – Melbourne –
and I trust that you will take away pleasant memories of this conference.

IEEE Victorian Section Chair Welcome
Dear Tencon '05 Colleague

Engineering is the best of all professions. It seems each week brings challenges which require a
quota of creative solutions. In a dynamic investment environment some of these solutions allow
new business plans to be developed justifying either the provision of services where none existed
before, or higher capability services or services to more people at an affordable price. So, both
from a technological and a business viewpoint, no other profession seems to advance on such a
broad front at such a quick pace. This is reflected in the papers being presented at this
conference. From power engineering to telecommunications, and biomedical engineering to
robotics, this is truly an interesting mix. I would like to welcome you to Tencon '05 and encourage
you to enjoy as broad a range of presentations as possible because interesting new ideas can
come from working across more than one discipline.

It goes almost without saying that the IEEE Victorian Section is proud of the work carried out by the
General Committee, chaired by Dr Hugh Bradlow and the Technical Program Committee headed
by Professor Richard Harris. I would like to acknowledge as well the foresight of my predecessor,
Peter Wills in bidding to bring this conference to Melbourne.

Enn Vinnal
Chair, IEEE Victorian Section
Melbourne, Australia

About the IEEE and Victorian Section

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) was founded in 1884 and the
Victorian Section was established nearly exactly on hundred years later in toward the end of
1983. The Section has previous been an active contributor to IEEE Region 10, hosting Tencon in
1992. The Section represents the Australian states of Victoria and Tasmania so that all IEEE
members who reside in Victoria or Tasmania are automatically members of our Section. The
Victorian Section has over 1,600 members. The Section is run by a committee of locally elected
IEEE members and includes the special interest groups called Chapters and Affinity Groups.Each
chapter or group has a Chair and is responsible for organising a number of interesting seminars,
site visits, workshops or conferences, throughout the year. The fifteen Chapters and Groups cater
for a wide range of technical interests and also areas like Women-in-Engineering, Education,
Graduates-of-the-Last-Decade. The Sectionhas three student branches.

Guest Speakers
Tencon'05 is proud to announce the following keynote and invited speakers at our Conference:
Keynote Speaker: Dr Radia Perlman (Sun Microsystems)
Radia Perlman's work has had a profound effect on the world of
networking. She designed the spanning tree algorithm used by
bridges, and many of the key algorithms that make link state
protocols (IS-IS, OSPF) robust, manageable, and scalable. Her
work has also been seminal in routing security and tangible
computing. Recent contributions include secure digital shredding
of data, strong password protocols, transparent routing, scalable
PKI-based cross-organizational authentication and authorization,
and analysis and redesign of IKE (the authentication handshake
for IPsec). One of her missions is to get people to think critically
about networking, rather than just memorizing the details of what
happens to be currently deployed, or believing everything they
hear or see in print. Titles of recent talks she has given include "How to build an insecure system
out of perfectly good cryptography", "Things we all know about network protocols that aren't true",
and "Miss Manners Meets the IETF".
She is currently Distinguished Engineer at Sun Microsystems Laboratories. She is also a series

Mythology and Folklore of Network Protocols

It's natural to assume that network protocol design is a well-known science, where the designers of
today's standards take care to understand the tricks and pitfalls learned from previous protocols.
This talk dispels this and other myths. It is intended to be provocative, making people question the
things people assume are true; instructive, giving hints as to how to avoid some of the problems in
future protocols; and inspirational, convincing students that there are ample opportunities to make
contributions.

This talk discusses wrong turns that have been made, such as what necessitated the invention of
bridges, and what caused IP multicast to be unimplementable. It also talks about how a protocol,
even one “proven correct”, can go horribly wrong, such as the unstable ARPANET protocol for
distributing routing information. It talks about "obvious" tricks such as version numbers that even
today protocol designers insist on misusing. And it covers some of the areas in which research is
most needed.

Towards an Optical Internet

The Optical Internet is a vision that achieved prominence during the boom times of the late 1990’s.
This vision of a near-infinite-bandwidth network using advanced photonics was underpinned by a
surge in optimism about the capabilities of photonic technologies. With the passing of the boom, a
new realism has emerged about the role of photonics in optical networking. The vision of an
Optical Internet is not dead, but there now a clear understanding in the telecommunications
industry that the Optical Internet will become a reality only when it can provide a cost-effective
alternative to present-day technologies.

In this talk, I will give a personal perspective on some of the photonic technologies, circuits, sub-
systems, and architectures that will be needed to implement a cost-effective Optical Internet. I will
describe a number of evolutionary scenarios that may lead to increased use of photonic switching
and signal processing in the network, and compare the cost-effectiveness of a number of optical
network architectures. I will show how the relative costs of different architectures depend on the
cost of key photonic technologies and the total network capacity.

Signal Processing In Telecommunications

Many years ago a mentor questioned why I was pursuing Digital Signal Processing. He
commented, “All you can do with DSP is process audio, and why would you want to do that? I’m
glad I ignored his poor advice. I also remember sitting in a graduate course listening to an
instructor describe some aspect of optimum detection and thinking to myself, “It will never happen:
this is too complicated a process to ever see the light of day.” Ok, so I’m not right all the time! We
certainly have come a long way haven’t we? I am, as many of us are, immersed in DSP as an
educator, a practitioner, a researcher, a benefactor, or at least as a consumer. It is fun to pose to
the following questions: Where did it all start? Where is it now? Where is it going?

One thread in the sequence “where did it start, where is it now” is seen in the following. It was in
1965 that James Cooley and John Tukey published their paper “An algorithm for the machine
calculation of complex Fourier series" Who would ever have predicted that their Fast Fourier
Transform (FFT), an algorithm designed to compute spectra, would become the core of a
ubiquitous modulation and demodulation scheme known as Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing (OFDM). It is everywhere! It is used in Local Area Networking (LAN, IEEE 802.11a,
802.11g), in Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), in Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB), in Wide Area
Networking (WAN, IEEE 802.11n, 802.16a), in Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Lines (ADSL), and
in Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO).

This talk will be a nostalgia trip through the early days of DSP mixed with a report of the current
state of DSP in modern communications topped by a bit of crystal ball prediction of where DSP is
going.

Triple Play: Converge on the Screen, not on the Bill

Triple Play offerings today are all about discounting packages of voice, video, and data services,
but that's not where the future lies. The spread of broadband access and IP service platforms
allows operators to converge services where the customer uses them, at the communications
device.

Moreover, communications devices increasingly come with visual displays, or screens. With the
addition of video services to make the Triple Play, even the Home TV can become a central
communications device, where voice, data and video services are accessed and used. This kind
of convergence can transform the entire customer experience. This presentation will provide
examples of how services can be converged, and how such convergence can be used to
differentiate operator offerings on more than discounted price.

An Effective Hotspot Cell Management Scheme
Using Adaptive Handover Time in 4G Mobile
Networks
Dong Wook Kim
"We propose a hotspot cell management scheme using
adaptive handover time in 4G mobile networks. 4G
networks are expected to support various multimedia
services over IP network and satisfy high spectral efficiency
requirement with overcoming time and frequency selective
fading due to the high speed of users. In cellular systems
including 4G networks, hotspot cells can be occurred when
available wireless resources at some location are not
enough to sustain the needs of users. The hotspot cell can
potentially lead to blocked and dropped calls and cause
degradation of the service quality. In the meanwhile, a band
of users enjoying multimedia services can move around in a
4G mobile network, which may generate heavy flows of
traffic load in the network. This situation can generate the
hotspot cell which has a short length of life at most a few
minutes. In this paper, we propose a handover-based
scheme which can effectively manage hotspot cells in 4G
mobile networks. The proposed scheme adopts hard
handoff mechanism and dynamically controls the time point
of handover based on the amount of load of the current
serving cell and the target cell. Adaptation of handover time
according to the amount of load effectively and flexibly can
manage the hotspot cell. And, through our hotspot cell
management scheme, acceptable service quality can be
supported as users maintain graceful connections with the
network. In the simulation results, we find that our scheme
makes smaller number of hotspot cells and supports higher
service quality than compared schemes."

A Game Theoretic Framework for Call Admission
Control in CDMA Mobile Multimedia Systems with
Traffic Asymmetry between Uplink and Downlink
Jenjoab Virapanicharoen, Watit Benjapolakul
"The call admission control (CAC) for code-division
multiple-access (CDMA) mobile multimedia systems is a
very important engineering issues since it belongs to the
category of resource management and the radio spectrum
is a very scarce resource. Since efficiency is an important
performance issue in the mobile networks with multimedia
services, the concept of fairness among services should
also be considered. Game theory can provide an
appropriate framework for formulating such fair and efficient
CAC problem. In this paper, a selection method for fair-
efficient threshold parameters of the CAC scheme in CDMA
mobile multimedia systems with traffic asymmetry based on
the framework of game theory is proposed. The proposed
scheme provides fairness and efficiency in terms of uplink
and downlink signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) for the 2
classes of traffic, and also guarantees the priority of class 0
calls over class 1 calls. Class 0 calls and class 1 calls are
viewed as two players of a game. The numerical results
show that there is an equilibrium point of the
noncooperative game for any given offered load. For the
cooperative game, the arbitration schemes for the
Tencon 2005
interpersonal comparisons of utility and the bargaining
problem are investigated. In the aspect of the social welfare
(total utility), the results also indicate that the Nash solution
of the bargaining problem outperforms the equilibrium point
and the solution of the interpersonal comparisons of utility
due to its much higher total utility."

Evaluating the Restorability in WDM Networks
Based on Directional Cycle Decomposition
Algorithm (DCDA)
Chuan-Ching Sue, JunYing Yeh, Shih-Chang Hsu,
Chao-Yang Lee
"The Directional Cycle decomposition Algorithm (DCDA) is
one method to achieve full restoration and tolerate as many
faults as possible in wavelength division multiplexing
(WDM) networks without the capability of wavelength
conversion. This paper formulates the restorability
computing in WDM network based on DCDA. Two methods
are proposed to compute the restorability. One computes
the restorability exactly using the information from the
original network and its corresponding G+. Another
computes approximately using the information only from the
corresponding G+. The results indicate the restorability is
decreasing very fast with more and more simultaneous
faults. Moreover, the average error in the approximate
method is limited from 8.37% on ArpaNet to 2.94% on
Icosahedron."

PIPPON: A Physical Infrastructure-aware P2P
Overlay Network
Doan Hoang, Hanh Le, Andy Simmonds
"The scalability and efficiency of P2P systems are
determined largely by two factors: the degree of matching
between the P2P overlay and its underlying physical
network, and the efficiency of the P2P application routing
scheme. Most current P2P systems address one or the
other but not both in an integrated manner. This paper
proposes PIPPON, a two-layer architecture to address
these performance issues. At the overlay network layer, the
paper proposes a simple but effective Geo-LPM/Geo-
Partitioning scheme for constructing overlay that mirrors the
physical Internet. At the application routing layer, the paper
introduces a dynamic Key Tree that is built on the optimized
overlay to rout P2P messages efficiently. Simulation results
indicate that PIPPON is scalable and efficient, and holds
promise as a platform for large scale P2P applications."

CLA-QOS: A Cross-Layer QoS Provisioning
Approach for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks
Hongtao Tian, Sanjay Bose, Choi Look Law,
Wendong Xiao
"The increasing popularity of the multimedia applications in
mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) has led to research on
QoS support for these applications. However, this is difficult
in such networks because of factors such as shared and
variable wireless bandwidth, limited power supply and
possible mobility of the nodes. Although many QoS
provisioning schemes have been presented, few have
provided the end-to-end QoS assurance from the point of
view of cross layer optimization. In this paper, a cross-layer
approach to QoS provisioning (CLA-QOS) is proposed to
provide such QoS support. Simulation results show that the
CLA-QOS approach provides QoS guarantees in terms of
the in-time packet delivery ratio of packets. Simulation
studies supporting this are provided."

Modifying AODV for Efficient Power-Aware
Routing in MANETs
Chee-Wah, Tan Sanjay Bose
"Unlike infrastructure based wireless networks, nodes in
mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) will also have to act as
intermediate nodes for data routing. These additional
transmissions will further drain the power resources of
mobile nodes which are anyway likely to be running on
limited battery power. This paper proposes a Power-Aware
Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing protocol (PAW-
AODV) for such power limited applications. This uses the
overall power resources of the system more efficiently than
the standard AODV protocol by choosing routes based on a
power-based cost function. We implement our proposed
PAW-AODV protocol by suitably modifying AODV and study
it through simulations using QUALNET. Simulation results
show that PAW-AODV is able to provide more throughput
than AODV over the life of the system and can make better
use of the limited battery power available."

A Heuristic for low power QoS routing in ad hoc
networks
Somnath Ghosh, Stacey Osbrough, Samar Singh
"For an important class of ad hoc wireless networks,

hoc network participate in routing and forwarding of
packets. Many ad hoc networks support applications which
require network connections with guaranteed quality of
service (QoS). In this paper a simple routing scheme is
presented for controlling the network topology so that QoS
routes are provide while keeping transmitter power at the
nodes close to minimum."

An Intrusion Detection System for Suburban Ad-
hoc Networks
Muhammad Islam, Ronald Pose, Carlo Kopp
"Due to the nature of the wireless media, ad-hoc wireless
networks are vulnerable to various attacks. There are
security protocols that prevent unauthorized nodes from
accessing the network through authentication. Secrecy of
information is provided through encryption. However these
protocols cannot detect if any member of the network
degrades the network performance due to misbehavior.
Therefore an intrusion detection system (IDS) is required
that monitors what is going on in the network, detects
misbehavior or anomalies based on the monitored
information and notifies other nodes in the network to take
necessary steps such as to avoid or punish the
misbehaving nodes. In this paper we propose an IDS,
referred to as the SAHN-IDS, suitable for multi-hop ad-hoc
wireless networks like a SAHN (Suburban Ad-hoc Network).
SAHN-IDS detects misbehavior based on nodes getting an
unfair share of the transmission channel. It also detects
anomalies in packet forwarding, such as intermediate nodes
dropping or delaying packets. Unlike most IDSs for
detecting anomalies in packet forwarding, SAHN-IDS does
rely on overhearing packet transmissions of neighboring
nodes, since that is ineffective in networks where nodes use
different transmission power, different frequency channels
and directional antennas for different neighbors. Moreover,
unlike most IDSs, most of the thresholds in SAHN-IDS are
set dynamically. We show the effectiveness of SAHN-IDS
through simulations."

"Ranger, a Novel Intrusion Detection System
Architecture for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks"
Yinghua Guo, Steven Gordon
"The proliferation of wireless communication and mobile
computing is driving the emergence of Mobile Ad hoc
Networks (MANETs) with wide application ranges from
civilian environment to military communication. However,
securing MANETs is a highly challenging issue due to their
inherent characteristics. Intrusion detection is an important
security mechanism, but little effort has been directed
towards efficient and effective architectures for Intrusion
Detection System (IDS) in the context of MANETs. We
investigate existing IDS architecture design issues, and
propose a novel mobile agent based IDS architecture that
has each node implementing basic IDS functions, while
ranger agents roam the network executing more advanced
IDS functions. This is suited to MANETs because it avoids
the single point of failure problem, minimises
communication overheads at the same time as providing up
to date information for intrusion decisions."

A Rotational Motion Estimation Method for Digital
Image Stabilization
Joon Lyou, Ho Dong Seok, Hwy Kuen Kwak
"A simple and robust digital image stabilization system
subjected to a rotational and translational motion is devised.
It is shown that single rotation model can accommodate a
combined rotational and translational motion. Thanks to this
simplification, the present digital image stabilization(DIS)
system works well via estimation of rotation center and
angle between image frames, instead of estimation of both
the rotational and translational motion parameters as found
in the previous DIS schemes. Hence, the computational
burden of our algorithm is considerably less, because it
does not require the time consuming parameter searching,
while showing a comparable performance to the previous
ones."

Medical Image Processing: From Lossless to
Lossy Compression
Oh Tick Hui, Heng Siong Lim, Shen Yee Pang
"Compressed image will always reduce the image fidelity.
This is especially so if the image is compressed at lower bit
rates, which most of the time cannot be tolerated.
Compression is necessary in medical field due to the limited
transmission bandwidth and storage capacity. In this paper,
performance of the controversial lossy compression on
medical modalities using the new JPEG2000 and the more
conventional JPEG is being studied. The common objective
measure, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) is definitely not
adequate as a perceptual quality measurement. Therefore,
subjective measures such as picture quality scale (PQS)
and mean opinion score (MOS) are used as the benchmark
instead, along with the statistical and frequency measures
for the image characteristics evaluation. Three types of
medical modalities are used X-ray, Ultrasound and
Computed Tomography (CT). From these various
measurements, the general acceptable compression bit rate
for each of the medical modality is determined."

CFA Demosaicking with Improved Colour Edge
Preservation
Sharmil Randhawa, J.S. Jimmy Li
"Colour edges are sharp boundaries between two distinct
colours. Most exisiting demosaicking methods depend on
assumptions which will be invalid at edges. In this paper,
we apply a method that avoids interpolation across an edge
by extrapolating estimates in four different directions. In
order to improve colour edge preservation, we propose a
novel classifier to select the best estimate in conjunction
with its surrounding pixels. It has been shown that our
method outperforms visually and quantitatively with image
quality measures, when compared with other existing
methods."

Feature-Oriented Coupled Bidirectional Flow for
Image Denoising and Edge Sharpening
Shujun Fu, Qiuqi Ruan, Yuliang Geng, Wenqia Wang
"In this paper, a new type of diffusion process that
simultaneously denoises and sharpens images is
considered. We presents a feature-oriented coupled
bidirectional flow process, where, according to image
features such as edges, textures, and fine parts, it can
switch from a forward diffusion to a backward (inverse) one
along the normal directions to the isophote lines (edges),
while a forward diffusion is performed along the tangent
directions. To eliminate the conflict between the backward
and the forward force, we split them into a coupled scheme.
In order to enhance image features the nonlinear diffusion
coefficients are locally adjusted according to the directional
derivatives of the image. Experimental results demonstrate
that our algorithm can substantially enhance features on
denoising smoother areas of the image."

Semi-supervised Segmentation of Textured
Images by Using Coupled MRF Model
Yong Xia, Dagan Feng, Rongchun Zhao
"Markov Random Field (MRF) is extensively used in model-
based segmentation of textured images. In this paper, we
propose a coupled MRF model and adopt the MAP-MRF
framework to solve the semi-supervised segmentation
problem. The observed image and the desired labeling are
characterized by the Conditional Markov (CM) model and
the Multi-Level Logistic (MLL) model, respectively. The
parameters of CM models are estimated as texture
features, and contextual dependent constraints are posed
to the object function by the MLL model. Different from the
existing methods, the two MRF models are mutually
dependent in our approach and therefore texture features
and the labeling must be optimized simultaneously. To this
end, a step-wised optimization scheme is presented to
achieve a suboptimal solution. The proposed algorithm is
compared with a simple MRF model based method in
segmentation of Brodatz texture mosaics. The experimental
results demonstrate that the novel approach can
differentiate textured images more accurately."

Automated Translation of Behavioral Models
using OCL and XML
Sabnam Sengupta, Ananya Kanjilal, Swapan
Bhattacharya
"The UML diagrams present different but partly overlapping
views of the same system and hence design risks due to
inconsistencies among diagrams is inevitable. Automated
translation of behavioral diagrams is one way of ensuring
consistency among the different models that can take us
one step forward towards formalizing behavioral
specifications of the system. In this paper based on the
dependencies between some of the commonly used
diagrams, we have proposed a methodology for translating
automatically a set of behavioral diagrams (Sequence to
State Transition Diagrams). As this translation is
automated, the consistency among the diagrams is
automatically checked. Our approach combines both OCL
and XML technologies. Based on the OCL constraints, we
here propose a methodology for automated derivation of

A Dual-Spiral Reengineering Model for Legacy

Xiaohu Yang, Lu Chen, Xinyu Wang, Jerry Cristoforo
"Computer Technology has been developing for a long

result, Legacy System Reengineering becomes a critical

reengineering models, such as Byrne Model and
Evolutional Model. They have resolved some problems in

optimal resource allocation problems in a module software
during testing phase: 1) minimization of the remaining faults
when a fixed amount of testing-effort is given, and 2)
minimization of the required amount of testing-effort when a
specific reliability requirement is given. Several useful
optimization algorithms based on Lagrange multiplier
method are proposed. Furthermore, we present the
sensitivity analysis on these allocation problems in order to
determine which of the parameters affects the system most.
Finally, a numerical example is evaluated to validate and
show the effectiveness of the proposed approach."

A BDL-Based E-Commerce Transaction
Architecture
Lakshmi Narasimhan, Renyi Zhou
"This paper describes extensions to a Behavioral
Description Language (BDL), which was originally proposed
to characterize concurrent behavior of simple objects and a
group of objects. One of the novelties of this paper is its
application to the field of E-Commerce transaction systems.
Based on the BDL, we propose new concepts, namely,
transaction patterns and transaction architectures, which
have event-based semantics to describe large-scale
transaction systems. Furthermore, the transaction
architecture is introduced as a unified medium for specifying
and verifying distributed, heterogeneous and complex E-
Commerce transaction processes. It is also illustrated as a
powerful modeling technique which is easy-to-use, flexible
and promotes re-usability."

Surbhie Kalia, Maninder Singh
The system vulnerabilities are most precious thing for
attackers. One such vulnerability is OS of the system which
can be easily fingerprinted. This paper basically deals with
discussion about the primary phases that every OS
fingerprinting tool uses to detect the OS of Remote System.
The techniques used by popular tools Nmap and Xprobe2
are presented here, in context to understand the security
framework that is to be setup to play defensive against
them. Further some implementation examples are
illustrated for different OS to countermeasure against

scheme. An explicit BER expression of the FFT
demodulator scheme is analytically derived in terms of a
closed form and compared with a typical demodulation
scheme, the non-coherent detection method. In addition, in

Improving Group Delay Measurement Accuracy
using the FM Envelope Delay Technique
Graham Woods, Douglas Maskell
"The FM envelope delay technique of measuring group
delay is an attractive alternative to standard techniques
using equipment like the network analyzer. The theoretical
basis for this technique is more complicated though leading
to some confusion about how to optimize the measurement
accuracy. This paper discusses methods of improving
accuracy when making group delay measurements using
the FM envelope delay technique. The paper concentrates
on two effects which are know to limit accuracy in this
approach; the finite bandwidth of the test signal and device
mismatch. The potential severity of each source of
uncertainty is modeled from theoretically derived
expressions and computer simulations. Practical
measurements made using a FM envelope delay, group
delay measurement system are also provided to verify the
predicted trends. Adjusting the FM signal modulation index
is shown to be an effective method of minimizing error
depending on the characteristics of the device being
measured."

A Robust Design of Reconfigurable
Coder/Decoder Against Un-authorized Users
Chuan-Ching Sue, Jen-Fa Huang, Yao-Tang Chang,
Deng-Sheng Wang, Chao-Yang Lee
"In this paper, an enhanced security mechanism is
presented against eavesdropping on spectral amplitude
coding (SAC) optical code-division multiple-access
(OCDMA) access networks. The reconfigurable
coder/decoder (codec) which was constructed with Arrayed-
Waveguide-Grating (AWG), optical switch and additional
controller unit is used as the basic system to realize the
implementation of dynamic code matrix assignment. Instead
of employing a huge code space, we adopt the spectral
amplitude coding (SAC) with unipolar M-sequence code
matrix for a specific signature address (coding) and its
match address codeword (decoding). By using the inherent
cyclic properties of both AWG routers and M-sequence
codes, the reconfigurable coding/decoding scheme is
developed to avoid the attack of un-authorized users even
with fewer code spaces. Furthermore, a weighted load
balance problem based on the power distribution on each
wavelength is investigated, and then a dynamic
reconfiguration policy is proposed to choose the best code
matrix assignment with the minimum weighted degree of
load balance. The evaluation results show that the dynamic
reconfiguration policy can outperform a class of static
policies in terms of two performance metrics, weighted
degree of load balancing and the number of register
shifting."

Application of Wavelet Array Denoising to
ESPRIT Algorithm
Yanbo Xue
"ESPRIT algorithm has been widely used in direction-of-
arrival (DOA) estimation problem. It degrades greatly in the
presence of spatially correlated noises and closely spaced
DOA's, and/or at low SNR. Filters are often used to harness
the performance degradation because they can recover the
signal from its noisy observation. Though Wiener filter is the
optimal filter, it requires the knowledge of second-order
statistics of the signals and noises, which is difficult to
obtain in non-wide-sense stationary signals and noises.
Wavelet array denoising has been introduced to ESPRIT
method in this paper to provide a possible filtering method
in spatially correlated noises. The proposed approach
denoises the snapshots of each sensor in parallel and
applies conventional ESPRIT algorithm to the denoised
data matrix. Simulation results show that by using the
proposed approach, we can gain advantages of estimation
root mean square error (RMSE) reduction and resolution
enhancement."
Comparison of few wavelets to filter ocular
artifacts in EEG using Lifting Wavelet Transform
Salwani Mohd. Daud
"We proposed a technique to remove ocular artifact (OA)
from electroencephalogram (EEG) using Lifting Wavelet
Transform (LWT). The objectives of OA correction are
threefold 1) to reduce the OA magnitude, 2) to retain the
neural EEG potentials and 3) to make corrections at the
right time localization. Three basic steps involved are to
transform the EEG, hard thresholding the wavelet
coefficients and the corrected EEG is obtained by inverse
transform these threshold coefficients. It is of paramount
important to select a suitable wavelet and threshold to
accomplish this task. In this investigation, few wavelets
were used and their effectiveness performances were
compared visually. A level-dependent threshold used was
suitable for both blinking and eyeball movements correction.
From this study, we concluded that Haar and rbio3.3
outperformed db4 and cdf4.4 wavelets, and had achieved
the objectives of OA removal."

Design and Implementation of Wavelet Filter
Using Switched-current Circuits
Qinchun Hu, Yigang He, Dixin Guo, Hongmin Li,
Meirong Liu
"The design and implementation of wavelet filters using
switched-current circuits are presented in this paper.
Wavelet filters play a key role in analog hardware
implementation of wavelet transform, which have been an
attractive option to achieve real-time performance because
that every signal is not suitable for digital processing. The
switched-current (SI) technique is a relatively new analog
sampled-data signal processing technique that aims to
replace switched-capacitors. Design techniques for
switched-current filters have been described. The key
feature of SI circuits from the viewpoint of wavelet transform
is that changing the dilation constant can be very precisely
controlled by clock frequency. Thus, a seed wavelet filter
can be implemented directly as SI filter circuits, with other
filers at different scales being simple dilations of it. The
desired transfer functions of wavelet filters are
approximated by Pade approximation which is able to
decompose the transfer function into rational form so as to
be conveniently implemented by SI circuits. Therefore,
arbitrary wavelet filters can be implemented by the method
proposed in this paper. Simulated results have
demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed new
method for the implementation of wavelet filter."

mechanisms considered in this study were magnetic

smart power and power integrated circuits, especially in
those applications where high voltage and high current
capabilities are required. Silicon on insulator (SOI) could be
the future technology for power devices and integrated

obtained from the linear cavity due to highly efficient from
both double-pass amplification in the Erbium gain medium

postprocessing of this data requires an increased role for
high performance computing. In this paper, we present a
framework to map hierarchical genetic algorithms for protein
folding problems onto computational grids. It has been
designed to take advantage of the communication
characteristics of a computational grid. By using this
framework, the two level communication parts of
hierarchical genetic algorithms are separated. Thus both
parts of the algorithm can evolve independently. This
permits users to experiment with alternative communication
models on different levels conveniently. Our experiments

Gene Selection and Classification of Human
Lymphoma from Microarray Data
Joarder Kamruzzaman
"Experiments in DNA microarray provide information of
thousands of genes, and bioinformatics researchers have
analyzed them with various machine learning techniques to
diagnose diseases. Recently Support Vector Machines
(SVM) have been demonstrated as an effective tool in
analyzing microarray data. Previous work involving SVM
used every gene in the microarray to classify normal and
malignant lymphoid tissue. This paper shows that, using
gene selection techniques that selected only 10\% of the
genes in `Lymphochip'' (a DNA microarray developed at
Stanford University School of Medicine), a classification
accuracy of about 98\% is achieved which is a comparable
performance to using every gene. This paper thus
demonstrates the usefulness of feature selection
techniques in conjunction with SVM to improve its
performance in analyzing Lymphochip microarray data. The
improved performance was evident in terms of better
accuracy, ROC (receiver operating characteristics) analysis
and faster training. Using the subsets of Lymphochip, this
paper then compared the performance of SVM against two
other well-known classifiers: multi-layer perceptron (MLP)
and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Experimental results
show that SVM outperforms the other two classifiers."

"Previously, direct-proportional length-based DNA
computing (DPLB-DNAC) for solving weighted graph
problems such as the shortest path problem, has been
proposed. After the initial pool generation, the initial pool is
subjected to amplification, by polymerase chain reaction
(PCR), and finally, the output of the computation can be
visualized by gel electrophoresis. In this paper, we give
more attention to the initial pool generation of DPLB-DNAC.
For this purpose, two kinds of initial pool generation
methods, which are hybridization/ligation and parallel
overlap assembly (POA) are evaluated. We found that both
of the methods can be successfully employed to generate
the initial pool generation of DPLB-DNAC, as supported by
results of actual experiments. However, POA is more
preferable than that of hybridization-ligation in term of
population size and generation time."

Ahmad, Muhammad Yusof Ibrahim
"Since the emergence of W-CDMA technology as an air
interface of 3G mobile communication systems, extensive
researches have been carried out to improve the
performance of these systems. Most of these works show
that the soft handover technique plays an important role in
improving W-CDMA system performance. Several
algorithms were developed to meet certain requirements of
system such as capacity improvement, interference
reduction and traffic balancing [1][2]. Because of this the
necessity to optimize these algorithms further increased. In
this paper we present a dynamic simulator using MATLAB
software to optimize the soft handover (SHO) parameters of
UTRA networks by taking the number of SHOs as an
optimization criterion. The simulations show that the
minimum number of SHOs can be obtained when the active

"Walsh-LS-CDMA (WLS-CDMA) systems is a novel

Interference Free Window (IFW) in the auto-correlation and
cross-correlation functions, which has the potential to
suppress Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) and Multiple

"An in depth study of the soft handover effects on the

link level study begins with the downlink interference
analysis and power allocations for each downlink dedicated
channels. Downlink soft handover gain is used in the
system level simulation as a main parameter to evaluate the
effects of cell selection and power control mechanisms on
the downlink soft handover performance. Simulation shown
that by using 2-way soft handover mechanism, the required
dedicated transmission power up can be reduced up to 3
dB. Besides that, the cell selection scheme based on
distance and Ec/I0 value gives better SHO gain (1.3 dB) to
the system with SHO overhead equals to 30%. Simulation
also has shown that the system can benefit from the soft
handover process at 20% to 30% of the SHO overhead.
However, power control mechanism does not give

proposed sinusoidally-distributed dithered signed-error
constant modulus algorithm (S-DSE-CMA) is introduced to
adapt the filter coefficients. This algorithm retains the
averaged transient behavior of the constant modulus
algorithm (CMA). We evaluate the performance of an

scheme against the existed uniformly-distributed DSE-CMA
(U-DSE-CMA). It is shown that the new scheme converges
faster than the conventional scheme. Simulation results of
averaged mean-squared error (MSE) trajectories for
synchronous and asynchronous DS-CDMA are presented.

Damping Estimation In Highly Interconnected
Power Systems
Mark Glickman, Peter O'Shea, Gerard Ledwich
"In a large interconnected power system, oscillating modes
typically arise after disturbances. Estimation of the rate of
rise or decay of these disturbances (i.e. of the damping
factor) is important so that poorly damped modes which put
the system at risk can be identified. In the past both Fourier
based and parametric techniques have been used to
estimate the damping factors of the oscillating modes.
Parametric methods tend to perform poorly in noise and
existing sliding window methods do not optimally account
for the kind of noise present in real operating environments.
This paper presents an improvement to existing Fourier

"The needs of automated inspection system are grown for

detect the defects on the surface of FPD due to non-uniform
intensity distribution through the whole panel. Especially,
curve-type defects such as micro sized thread and scratch
are too difficult to detect with the conventional methods. In
this paper, we propose a robust detection algorithm for
curve-type defects. The proposed algorithm is composed of
flattening, segmentation, and classification. The flattening
makes intensity distribution likely to be uniform. The
segmentation extracts candidates of curve-type defect and
the classification selects real defects from candidates. The

"In an era of information propagation through Internet, there
are many parts of the world, which have not benefited. This
kind of gap, known as 'digital divide' exists even in
developed nations. The solution to the problem of bridging
this digital divide needs a platform for consuming, sharing,
and producing information in an easy-to-use and
understandable format, apart from the infrastructural
requirements. This paper discusses our solution in the form
of a framework, ECKO. Our framework includes the
processes, methodologies, guidelines, and deployment
models apart from the software. The framework enables
fruitful knowledge sharing among and across the
communities and helps in creation of multi-dimensional
knowledge repositories. We also illustrate our phase-by-
phase approach to the solution and it is generic enough to
be replicated across countries. The feedback obtained from
the stakeholders throughout the various phases is also
discussed and is very much encouraging."

Partial Discharges Multi-Targets Localization in
Power Transformers Based On Array Signal
Processing
R.C LUO
“A new partial discharges multi-targets localization method
is presented in this paper, which is based on array signal
processing. Two ultrasonic sensor arrays are located on the
inner wall of the transformer tank and detect the ultrasonic
signal emitted by the partial discharge sources. Spatial
spectrum estimation technique is used in analyzing the
signal characteristic information (number of signals,
direction-of-arrivals et. al) and the number of partial
discharge signal estimation, direction-of-arrival estimation
and distance estimation are accomplished. The
performance of localizations is given by computer
simulations. It shows that the method processes with high
resolution and good estimated accuracy and can effectively
estimate the location parameter of multiple partial discharge
sources in transformer."

Space-Time Encoded Secure Chaos
Communications with Transmit Beamforming
Lau Yuu Seng, Kevin Lin, Zahir Hussain
"It is shown that the use of chaos shift keying (CSK) with a
transmit diversity technique such as beamforming and
space-time coding can provide a secure communication link
with improvement in the system error performance.
Spreading sequences that are used to scramble data in
spread spectrum (SS) systems can be generated using a
single mathematical relationship of a chaotic generator.
These chaotic sequences are very difficult to predict over
long-term chaotic pattern unless the exact initial condition of
the chaotic generator is known, providing security. On the
other hand, beamforming and orthogonal space-time block
coding (OSTBC) transmit diversity techniques are known to
provide optimal transmitting structures for communication
systems, especially if combined. Based on the signal angle-
of-arrival (AoA) estimates, the channel correlation matrix
can be constructed, and it is shown that signal transmission
of OSTBC codes in the eigen-modes of this matrix gives an
effective array weighting gain which improves system error
performance without sacrificing any diversity and coding
gain. A performance study of CSK with beamforming and
space-time encoded is carried out in this paper."

likelihood detector while the others are maximum likelihood
detection in [12], Alamoutis receiver, zero-forcing detection
and decision-feedback detection. Our results show that all
detection methods, except cooperative maximum likelihood
detection, achieve nearly the same BER performance over
time-varying channels, unlike the results obtained in [12] by
assuming perfect channel estimation. In many cases,
cooperative maximum likelihood detection performs the
best by about 5dB due to the diversity gain. Also, the
influence of timevarying channels results in the error
flooring effect."

Performance Analysis of Multiple-Relay Decode-
and-Forward Cooperation System
Jun Zhang, Tat Lok
"In this paper, we analyze the impact of the detection error
at the relay node to the performance of the decodeand-
forward cooperation system. We apply a simple detector,
for which no channel state information between source
node and relay node is available at the destination, and
maximum ratio combining is performed without considering
whether the forwarded symbol from the relay is incorrect.
With such an assumption, we analyze the error
performance of the system with multiple relay nodes, and
demonstrate the resulting error floor in this system. To
compensate for the detection error at the relay node, we
propose a relay selection protocol, which can lower the
error floor and nearly achieve full diversity order."

Error Performance Analysis of Clipped Alamouti
Space-Time Coded OFDM Systems
Himal Suraweera, Jean Armstrong
“In this paper we investigate the performance of clipped
Alamouti space-time coded (STC) orthogonal frequency
division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The high peaks in
STC-OFDM signals are clipped to limit the peak-to-average
power ratio (PAPR). In STC-OFDM and OFDM, clipping can
achieve significant PAPR reduction while maintaining a low
symbol error rate (SER). Previous studies on OFDM have
concluded that the effect of channel fading on clipping noise
must be considered for an accurate error performance
analysis. We extend this further to incorporate STC-OFDM
systems and jointly study the impact of channel fading and
receiver combining on clipping noise. At the STC-OFDM
receiver, effective clipping noise governing the signal-to-
noise ratio has different characteristics compared to the
same for OFDM. Simulations indicate that STC-OFDM is
more sensitive to clipping effects than OFDM. The
theoretical and simulated SER are also compared for
clipped STC-OFDM."

"In almost every interaction the trusting peer might fear
about the likelihood of the loss in the resources involved
during the transaction. This likelihood of the loss in the

analyzing the Risk involved in a transaction is important to
decide whether to proceed with the transaction or not. If a
trusting peer is unfamiliar with a trusted peer and has not
interacted with it before in a specific context, then it will ask
for recommendations from other peer in order to determine
the trusted peers Riskiness value or reputation. In this

Ashfaqur Rahman, Manzur Murshed
In this paper we propose a motion based approach for

phenomenon characterized by their distinctive motion
patterns. Synthesis of these textures is thus considered as
regeneration of motion pattern that has identical motion
distribution of a source texture. In this paper we propose a
synthesis technique where new textures are generated by
computing their movement pattern from a known motion
distribution followed by generation of image frames.
Experimental results demonstrate the ability of the
proposed technique by producing visually promising

the full field static colour bar test signal used in analogue
television and video engineering. The proposed test image
can be used to evaluate the performance of digital video

is analyzed in terms of a minimal number of parameters
associated with the sampling switch and the sampling

A Nonparametric Discriminant Approach in

Content-based Image Retrieval
Kien Ping Chung, Chun Che Fung
"Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems have drawn
intense interest from many researchers in recent years.
Over this period, certain degree of success has been
achieved in domain-oriented systems for applications such
as facial recognition and medical diagnosis. However, the
machine learning techniques used in these systems mostly
assume that all the targeted images belong to a single
group. Thus, most of the research efforts so far have been
trying to search for one or a combination of global image
features that can be used to differentiate the targeted
images from the rest. This is not the case for a generic
image database. Quite often, images that are similar
semantically may be completely different with the visual
context. In this paper, the authors propose a local grouping
strategy together with a multiple Gaussian distributions
distance ranking approach in an attempt to address the
retrieval and ranking of images that belong to multiple
disjoint groups."

Subregion Technique with Optimal Local
Parameter Sets for Image Deconvolution
Karn Patanukhom, Akinori Nishihara
"A subregion technique for image deconvolution is
proposed. This technique improves restoration results of
conventional deconvolution methods by separately restoring
each local region of an image with different restoration
processes. Optimal local restoration parameter set is
designed for each restoration process to optimize a
restoration error in its corresponding local region. An
iterative algorithm to estimate the optimal parameter sets
for subregion scheme is introduced. Instead of using an
original pair, which is a pair of original and degraded
images, to find a characteristic between the restoration
error and the parameter set, the proposed algorithm uses a
pseudo pair, which is a pair of an estimated original image
and its degraded version having the same degradation
condition as the original pair. Simulation results are
presented to demonstrate the promising performance of the

Applying Machine Learning Techniques to
improve Linux Process Scheduling
Kishore Kumar Pusukuri, Atul Negi
"In this work we use Machine Learning (ML) techniques to
learn the CPU time-slice utilization behavior of known
programs in a Linux system. Learning is done by an
analysis of certain static and dynamic attributes of the
processes while they are being run. Our objective was to
discover the most important static and dynamic attributes of
the processes that can help best in prediction of CPU burst
times which minimize the process TaT (Turn-around-Time).
In our experimentation we modify the Linux Kernel
scheduler (version 2.4.20-8) to allow scheduling with
customized time slices. The ``Waikato Environment for
Knowledge Analysis"" (Weka), an open source machine-
learning tool is used to find the most suitable ML method to
characterize our programs. We experimentally find that the
C4.5 Decision Tree algorithm most effectively solved the
problem. We find that predictive scheduling could reduce
TaT in the range of $1.4\%$ to $5.8\%$. This was due to a
reduction in the number of context switches needed to
complete the process execution. We find our result
interesting in the context that generally operating systems
presently never make use of a program's previous
execution history in their scheduling behavior."

and utilizes a constant time-delay unit instead of the
constant 90-degrees phase-shifter used in conventional
tanlock structures. The TDTL reduces the complexity of
implementation and avoids many of the practical problems
associated with the analog or digital Hilbert transformer,

However, the noncoherent symbol detector has more

"A new memory management technique for survivor paths

central concept that states reserved for merely certain
stages will be enough to decode out the whole sequence.
Thus, traceback could be complete faster since it could be
realized block-by-block instead of stage-by- stage.
Furthermore, the central concept leads to a new memory
management method that records states only for those
necessary stages. Thus, compared with other methods, the
major drawback of TBM- decoding latency could be greatly
reduced approaching the extent of REA and up to 45% of
the memory size could be saved in hardware
implementation."

"Abstract - In an approach to provide more secure, fast and

this paper reviews the fast wavelet feature extraction
technique and wavelet packet technique for speech
recognition systems. One of the biggest advantages of the
Wavelet Transform over the Short Time Fourier
Transform(STFT) is its capability to process nonstationary
signals. As the prosodic features of speech signals in the
voice lock systems play an important role, these features
have to be extracted with great accuracy, which are
efficiently extracted using the Wavelet Packets which
provide the local time-spectral description. The adaptive

extracted efficiently. The paper also talks about the

A Wavelet Packet Modulation Method for Satellite
Communications
Hideto Sakakibara, Eiji Okamoto, Yasunori Iwanami
"Wavelet Packet Modulation (WPM) was proposed as one
of the multicarrier transmission methods like OFDM. Since it
is a multicarrier transmission method, it has a high peak to
averaged power ratio (PAPR). For improving PAPR of
OFDM, the Single Carrier OFDM (SC-OFDM) method was
proposed and it is expected that the principle of SC-OFDM
can be used in WPM. In this paper, we consider applying
the WPM to satellite communications. The BER
performance of WPM and OFDM in a fading channel is
compared, and it is shown that the performance of WPM is

WPM (SC-WPM) method that applies the principle of SC-
OFDM to WPM to remedy the PAPR, and show that the
performance is improved substantially."

Viability of a wavelet-based multicarrier
modulation system
Quoc Tuan Nguyen, Dinh Nguyen
"The authors consider the viability of a wavelet-based
multicarrier modulation (MCM) scheme as an alternative to
the current FFT-based system used in an asymmetrical
digital subscriber line (ADSL). Current work tends to unfairly
compare the performance of wavelet-based MCM to that of
the conventional MCM. Biorthogonal wavelet bases have a
quite different structure from the classical FFT-based
harmonic structure. Within each subband in the proposed
wavelet-based MCM system, we have essentially a TDM
arrangement. Thus a wavelet-based MCM system is
practically a combination of orthogonal TDM (between
translates) and orthogonal scale division multiplex (OSDM).
Unless this particular structure of a future wavelet-based
MCM system can be better understood and exploited for
appropriate channel equalisation, channel loading and
signal demodulation, it is premature and will not be
meaningful to compare the performance of a wavelet-based
MCM system to that of the current FFT-based system."

Analysis of Nonlinear Propagation and Wave
Mixing of Picosecond Pulses in Semiconductor
Optical Amplifiers
Narottam Das, Nemai Karmakar, Yasuhiro
Yamayoshi, Hitoshi Kawaguchi
"We have analyzed the nonlinear propagation
characteristics and wave mixing of picosecond pulses in
semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) by the finite-
difference beam propagation method (FD-BPM). From the
simulation results, it was found in the output waveform that
the pulses peak positions are shifted to the leading edge.
The output spectra are red-shifted and the dips are
observed at the higher frequency side in the frequency
spectra. We have analyzed all-optical demultiplexing
(DEMUX) based on four-wave mixing (FWM) in SOAs. It is
clear from the simulation results that the SOAs with wider
gain bandwidth are required for the faster DEMUX
operation. We have simulated pattern effects in the FWM
signal. We have also obtained DEMUX from the time-
multiplexed signals by repetitive pump pulses. FWM signal
intensity decreases with the strong energy pump pulses.
However, there is no pattern effect due to gain saturation
because the pump pulses are injected continuously."

Use of High-Tc Superconducting Tape RF Coils
for Non-invasive Fiber Tracking on Diffusion
Tensor MRI application
In-Tsang Lin, Chang-Wei Hsieh, Li-Wei Kuo, Hong-
Chang Yang, Herng-Er Horng, Wei-Hao Chang
"High-temperature superconducting (HTS) coil is one of the
best ways to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox (Bi-2223) tapes were suitable to use
because of the easier fabrications and lower cost. In this
study, we built HTS Bi-2223 tape coils and demonstrated
that the SNR of using the HTS tape coil was 3 or 4 folds
higher than that of the traditional copper coil for a rat brain
MR study. Acquisition time of MR diffusion tensor imaging
(DTI) can be reduced by factor of 9 for the same signal-to-
noise. Accuracy of fiber tracking using DTI is also
significantly improved by a factor of 2.5 or so using HTS
coil. In summary, with this HTSC system, a 3T MR system
could reach the high signal-to-noise of 12 T MR system with
the advantage of less T2 shortening effects at high field.
Currents researches are focused on brain connectivity and
fMRI studies."

quantum dots of zinc sulphide nanoparticles doped with
manganese were synthesized by co-precipitation
techniques and the nanoparticles were found to consist of
crystallites that were estimated to be around 2.2 nm. The
modified polyelectrolyte deposition technique has been

A Novel Monostable Multivibrator Circuit
Panwit Tuwanut, Jeerasuda Koseeyaporn, Paramote
Wardkein
"This article represents a novel monostable multivibrator
circuit in which width and height of the pulse output can be
independent electronically adjusted. In addition, the pulse
width of output is not restricted to be wider or narrower than
that of input pulse as conventionally employed. Namely,
there is no restriction on the width of input and output pulse,
the circuits implementation is thus more convenient. The
proposed circuit is composed of three OTAs, two resistors
and one capacitor, basically constructed a simple pulse
generator (Schmitt-trigger circuit). Therewith the
compactness of the circuit, it is thus suitable to be
fabricated for integrated circuit. The results of circuit

"Heart disease continues to be the leading cause of
mortality in Malaysia in an era of industrialization, changing
lifestyles and dietary habits. The mortality rate reported in
government hospitals shows an increase in death due to
heart diseases, and this trend is expected to continue into

are being carried out and created in order to reduce the

constructing a 2-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor,
transmitting the ECG data acquired from the ECG sensor
via the Bluetooth wireless link, and receiving the ECG data
at the PC is illustrated. The acquired ECG data is
processed, manipulated and constructed as an ECG

Kok-Meng Ong, Raveendran Paramesran
"This paper presents a study on Power Asymmetry Ratio of
the Single Trial Electroencephalogram (EEG) during the
preparation of left or right finger movement, or more
precisely self-paced tapping. The objective is to predict
which finger is going to be used to press a key in the
computer keyboard. The change in EEG signal is more
pronounced in the contralateral hemisphere. Therefore, the
use of Power Band Asymmetry Ratio will enhance the
identification of left or right finger tapping. Parametric
spectral estimation, in this case autoregressive (AR)
spectral analysis with Burg method is used to obtain the
Power Spectral Density (PSD) from 8Hz to 30Hz. The
proposed method selects the most critical homologous
channels in the classification of the task. It is discovered
that the homologous pair of CP3 and CP4 is the most
important channel-pair that gave a classification accuracy of

Decision Tree Construction for Genetics
Applications Based on Association Rules
Ashkan Sami, Makoto Takahashi
"A decision tree is an effective means of data classification
from which rules can be both expressive and precise.
However decision tree is only applicable in the applications
that the data is expressed with attribute-value pairs. Since
genetic data are not attribute-pairs, the only method that we
know of to make decision-tree for them is based on a
greedy graph-based data mining algorithm known as DT-
GBI. Though to its greedy nature, some of the important
rules may be missed. Even though recently some attempts
to make the algorithm complete has been presented, the
computational complexity of algorithm increased so much
that is not appropriate for practical purposes. In this paper
we present an approach to make decision tree for DNA
based data, which basically uses regular association-rule
algorithms. Thus it has computational complexity is much
more tractable. Our contribution in this paper is to convert
DNA based problems to regular data mining methods and
by this conversion we present a method that can be applied
to all classes of classification based on association rules."

(STTD) scheme and trellis coded Time Switched Transmit
Diversity (TSTD) scheme for CDMA system. In the first part
of the paper we will derive an upper bound for the Frame

Blind Adaptive Multiuser Detection for Chaos
CDMA Communication
Lau Yuu Seng, Jusak Jusak, Zahir Hussain
"Chaos-based CDMA communication has opened up a new
category for spread spectrum communication, where the
spreading code that is used to scramble data in the CDMA
systems can be generated using a single mathematical
relationship of a chaotic generator instead of using the
pseudo-noise (PN) generator. Recent studies showed that
this sequence can enhance the security and increase the
capacity of the system at the physical link due to its
bifurcation behavior. In this paper, we investigate the
performance of multiuser detection schemes in chaos
based and PN code-division multiple access (CDMA)
systems. Two well-known schemes are applied and
compared: adaptive filtering using the constant modulus
algorithm (CMA) and matched filtering (using a correlator).
Simulation results showed that, for both schemes, the
chaos-based CDMA outperforms the PN-based CDMA in
terms of bit error rate (BER) and mean-squared error
(MSE)."

Impact of Propagation Parameters on
Neighbouring Cells Interference in Power
Controlled CDMA Systems
Samad Kolahi
In this paper the effect of propagation parameters on
neighbouring cells interference is investigated using a
simulation and modelling technique. The results of this
investigation indicate the extent that other-cells interference
increases with increasing shadowing parameter but
decreases with increasing distance exponent. It is
concluded that the distance exponent has the dominant
effect on other-cells interferences. It is established that it is
sufficient to consider only three tiers of neighbouring cells
when calculating the total interference as the addition of
further tiers had an insignificant effect on the results. Other-
cells interference factors are found to be independent of the
traffic load when users are uniformly distributed.

different user classes are considered. The existence of
these classes and their associated boundaries are modeled
with trapezoidal distribution. A piece-wise linear model is
used to model the growth ramp segment of S-shaped

to estimate the new load demand, and other index to
estimate the growth. The results obtained match the typical
growth trend of different user classes for a practical

Adaptive Setting of Digital Relay for
Transmission Line Protection
Jong-Man Cho, Chang-Ho Jung, Jin-O Kim
"Distance relay is the most widely used in transmission line
protection because it is useful not only as main protection
but also as back-up protection. However, the protection
range of the distance relay is always fixed in the
unchangeable operating range while the power system
varies, and therefore, the distance relay is the most highly
influenced by power system changes. In this regard, this
paper describes an approach to minimize the mal-operation
of the distance relay due to the power system changes
through changing the protection range of the distance relay
into an optimal condition in response to load variation and
power system conditions. Also mal-function of the distance
relay in case of high resistance ground faults can be
minimized through modeling the protection range into

Two types of variable delay are considered: one is

continuous and may vary very fast. By introducing a new
type of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, new delay-
dependent sufficient conditions for exponential stability of
delayed neural networks are derived in terms of linear
matrix inequalities. We also obtain delay-independent
stability criteria. These criteria can be tested numerically
and very efficiently using interior point algorithms. Two

"In this paper, the receiver performance of Alamouti coded
orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems
is analyzed. When the channel is not constant during the
period of Alamouti codeword transmission, the conventional
linear maximum likelihood (ML) receiver suffers from
performance degradation. We use three different receiver
combining methods and study the error performance. The
sensitivity of different receivers is investigated by varying
the correlation coefficient. Our results can be easily
extended to be applicable to other block coded OFDM
schemes with different antenna configurations. The
performance loss in linear ML receiver can be partially
improved by employing a decision-feedback strategy. In the
decision feedback steps preliminary decisions are used to
subtract the intercodeword coupling. However this

On the Design of Space-Frequency Codes from

"This paper describes how to construct a class of Space-
frequency (SF) codes by mapping the Super-orthogonal
space-time trellis (SOSTT) codes across OFDM
subcarriers. Two mapping methods are employed:
conventional repetition mapping and the proposed mapping
methods with the design criteria of achieving full diversity
including spatial and frequency at the maximum possible
transmission rate. The proposed mapping method appears
to outperform the conventional mapping counterpart with
respect to coding gain when constructing the SF codes
mapped from SOSTT codes. Simulation results show the
performance gain of 0.5-3 dB under frequency-selective
fading channels. In addition, the constructed SF codes
mapped with both mapping methods are compared to the
existing commonly known SF codes, i.e. the Space-time
trellis (STT) codes mapped with conventional mapping
method. Apparently the SOSTT codes are superior to the
STT codes in single-carrier narrowband wireless channel,
the mapped SOSTT codes do not offer the same advantage
over the mapped STT codes under the severely-frequency-
selective fading channel when the codes having large
number of states. Nevertheless, some performance
improvement is observed for codes with small number of

Trust Models and Security Considerations in
Multicast Listener Discovery Protocol version 2
(MLDv2)
Gopakumar Kurup, Greg Daley, Ahmet Sekercioglu
"Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) protocols are employed
by IPv6 routers and hosts for group management. Routers
use MLD to discover the presence of multicast listeners -
nodes that wish to receive multicast packets- on their
directly attached links, and to discover which multicast
addresses are of interest to those neighbouring nodes.
Existing MLDv2 protocol specification discusses the effects
of on-link forgery of MLD packets but does not provide any
protection from on-link attacks. By taking advantage of or
abusing MLD messages, bogus devices can cause
incorrect multicast records and disruption to multicast or
unicast packet delivery. In this paper we identify and
analyse the various trust models for MLD protocols, their

Peidi Ji, Liang Cai, Chun Chen, Bo Jiang
"This paper proposes a novel late join approach for
Dynamic Locking Mechanism (DLM) in Internet-based real-
time collaborative editing systems. The main idea is that: in
the process of late join, four cases are classified according
to the situations of whether the user has enabled the DLM
or not and whether the user is in the session or not. And
different transmission steps are adopted for each case in
order to achieve the goal that the dynamic locking data can
be synchronized. This approach can maintain the
consistency of locking data in the distributed collaborative
environment more efficiently. And the process of late join for
multiple users and the error control method in the network
transmission are also presented in this paper."

Support Tool Using Positions of Contents for
Voice/Gaze-controlled Browsers
Masahide YUASA, Minoru Ohyama
"In this paper, we propose a support tool termed Calamari
to improve voice/gaze-controlled browsers by using
information about the position of contents. It can quickly
determine the positions of links, images, and tables in a
web page. Positions in a browser window are important for
voice/gaze-controlled browsers to deal with user commands
associated with directions, for example, select ``upper one""
and ``left figure."" By using positional information,
developers can effectively improve these browsers to use
commands along with directions. The proposed tool is
implemented in a proxy server; hence, it does not depend
on browsers and operating systems. Although it rewrites an
HTML document, it does not change the web page design.
We describe two applications using the tool and
demonstrate that it is useful for developers to enhance the
voice/gaze-controlled browsers."

Rendering Models for Immersive Voice
Communications within Distributed Virtual
Environment
Ying Que, Paul Boustead, Farzad Safaei
"This paper compares three possible rendering models for
the provision of Immersive Voice Communications (IVCs) in
Distributed Virtual Environments (DVEs) such as
multiplayer online games. The common aim of these three
rendering models is to create a personalised auditory scene
for each listening avatar, consisting of a mix of the
surrounding avatars voices, positioned according to their
positions in the virtual world. The first two rendering models
are based on amplitude panning localisation and HRTF-
based binaural localisation respectively. The computation
cost of the latter is deemed too large to meet the identified
processing power constraints. A computation reuse scheme
was introduced in the third rendering model which, as
shown in our simulation results, reduces significantly the
computational cost of providing IVC using HRTF-based
binaural localisation."

An Enhanced Framing Strategy for Jitter
Management
Jhoanna Rhodette Pedrasa, Cedric Angelo Festin
"The Internet Protocol's best-effort service is ill-suited for
delivering real-time, interactive applications such as voice.
Additional management is needed to maintain quality at
satisfactory levels throughout the duration of the call. A new
framework at network management, the Value-Based Utility
model, uses the knowledge of user satisfaction levels in
order to allocate resources more efficiently. Our research
applies the Value-Based Utility model to jitter management
and demonstrate that performance improvements can be
achieved by enhancing on the frame-based scheduling
algorithm Stop-and-Go. Our results show that Stop-and-Go
with Utility can achieve a tighter jitter bound of T, where T is
the frame length, which is half of the original bound of 2T
offered by Stop-and-Go alone."

Robot Path Planning in High Risk Fire Front
Environments
Raymond Jarvis, Mohamed Marzouqi
“Most path planning approaches for mobile robot navigation
have concentrated on discovering obstacle-free paths which
minimise distance, time or energy. Here we show how
variations adapted for Covert Robotics [1,2,3], where
visibility from various (or all) points in the environment is
built into the cost structures, can be further adapted to
provide robot navigation paths which minimise risk of fire
heat exposure in high risk fire front environments. Both
escape routes and fire extinguishing forays can be planned
using this methodology. A wide range of simulation results
are presented to illustrate the power and scope of this
approach. The work reported is related to an Australian

Recovery from Segmentation Failures Using
Photometric Invariance in an Interactive Object
Recognition System
Md. Altab Hossain, Rahmadi Kurnia, Yoshinori Kuno,
Akio Nakamura
"We are developing a helper robot that carries out tasks
ordered by the user through speech. The robot needs a
vision system to recognize the objects appearing in the
orders. It is, however, difficult to realize vision systems that
can work in various conditions. Thus, we have proposed to
use the human user's assistance through speech. When the
vision system cannot achieve a task, the robot makes a
speech to the user so that the natural response by the user
can give helpful information for its vision system. Our
previous system assumes that it can segment images
without failure. However, if there are occluded objects
and/or objects composed of multicolor parts, segmentation
failures cannot be avoided. This paper presents an
extended system that tries to recover from segmentation
failures using photometric invariance. If the system is not
sure about segmentation results, the system asks the user
by appropriate expressions depending on the invariant
values. Experimental results show the usefulness of the
system."

Bluetooth Based Proximity Sensing for Reactive
Mobile Robots
Robert Shepherd, Sa'ad Mansoor
"The Bluetooth radio system is an ideal communications
tool for lightweight autonomous mobile robots but little
research interest has been targeted at this application.
Along with facilitating ad hoc communications, other
features of Bluetooth may be exploited for use in the mobile
robotics domain. We consider the likely scenario where a
mobile robot becomes inoperably stuck and unable to free
itself. The robot should be able to warn other robots about
its situation in order to prevent further losses from the same
potential failure. In this paper we demonstrate how the
discovery phase of Bluetooth connection setup can provide
simple proximity data without requiring an explicit
connection to be established. Our lightweight proximity
sensing mechanism, tightly coupled to a behaviour based
control architecture provides a cheap but effective method
for kin recognition. Using the latency of the discovery
process, we show various proximities can be attained whilst
minimising power usage."

Designing of Human Computer Interactive
Platform for Robotic Applications
Manas Bhuyan, Debashis Ghosh, Prabin, Kumar
Bora
"The use of human hand as a natural interface for human-
computer interaction (HCI) serves as the motivation for
research in hand gesture recognition. Gestures provide a
rich and intuitive form of interaction for controlling robots.
Vision-based hand gesture recognition involves visual
analysis of hand shape, position and/or movement. This
paper describes a system which enables a robot to
recognize and respond to hand gestures from a human
operator. The interface uses some predefined hand
gestures, each of which represents an individual control
command for the motion control of the remote robot.
Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed HCI

fabrication of barium strontium titanate (BST) varactors is
presented. BST films were deposited using RF magnetron
sputtering on platinum coated silicon substrates. The

microstructural properties of the BST layer were examined
with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction

Planar Ba(MgxTay)O3 Material for Emerging
Microwave Technologies
Mohan Jacob, Janina Mazierska
Ba(MgxTay)O3 based dielectric materials are typically used
in many microwave applications due to its relatively high
permittivity and low temperature coefficient of frequency.
MURATA® manufactured a dielectric substrate based on
Ba(MgxTay)O3; we have characterised this substrate at
microwave frequencies and at cryogenic temperatures
using cryogenic Split Post Dielectric Resonator. The TE011
mode of this resonator without and with sample is identified
at frequencies of 10 GHz and 8.6 GHz respectively. The
Transmission Mode Q factor Technique was used for data
processing to ensure high accuracy of the measurements.
The real part of the permittivity and the loss tangent varies
between 24.37 and 24.4 and 4.2x10-5 and 6x10-5
respectively in the temperature range 25 295 K. The
variation in permittivity is less than 0.2%. The low
temperature coefficient of frequency and permittivity make
Ba(MgxTay)O3 substrate attractive to fabricate miniaturised
planar antenna arrays and in other microwave applications
where frequency stable substrates are needed.

Somchai Biansoongnern, Songsak Chusanapiputt,
Sukumvit Phoomvuthisarn
"This paper describes the solution of minimization of
transmission loss with consideration of transformer taps
constraint. The transformer taps are using as control
variables for transmission loss minimization and maintain
voltage profile when the disturbance occurs in system.
When transformer taps are only used for minimization of
transmission loss that has to control transformer taps close

transformer taps close to the center of transformer taps.
The equation of transformer taps stages is included in the
objective function and in inequality constraints. An optimal
power flow problem is solved by using interior point method.
The problem constraints are the power flow equation, the
bound of the power system and stages of transformer taps.
The performance of the method is illustrated in IEEE 14 bus
IEEE 30 bus and IEEE 57 bus test system. Test results
show that the transmission loss can be made minimum and
transformer taps can be controlling close to the central tap."

However, a major limitation in the integration of RF systems

Human Identification System Based ECG Signal
Sukkharak Seachia, Jeerasuda Koseeyaporn,
Paramote Wardkein
"A new human identification system based
electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is introduced in this work.
The human heart is considered to be a unique system of
each person. ECG signal therefore represents as an
impulse response of the system. The frequency response of
the system (Fourier transform of the ECG signal) is
employed to be a tool for feature extraction. In addition, the
ECG signals employed in this paper, which may be derived
from different heart rates from different subjects at the
recording time, are normalized to a standard heart rate.
Furthermore, not only the whole sequence of 1 period EC
signal, containing P, QRS, and T waves, is processed but
also its three subsequences, each respectively representing
P, QRS, and T waves, is examined. The results of using
neural network have demonstrated that subsequences
technique is superior to whole period of ECG signal
method."

Fast and Accurate Positioning Technique Using
Ultrasonic Phase Accordance Method
Hiromichi Hashizume, Ayumu Kaneko, Yusuke
Sugano, Koji Yatani, Masanori Sugimoto
"In this paper we propose a new technology for measuring
precise distance/angle toward the terget using unexpensive
ultrasonic transmitter/receiver transducers. The system
measures distance by the transmission delay time of an
ultrasonic packet, and the key idea is that the packet is
marked with a special point, epoch using two carrier
frequencies, and at the receiver end is analized and
retrieved the epoch within a few microseconds' error range.
We name this new technology as phase accordance
method, and demonstrate that the distances to objects of a
few meters range are measured within a millimeter. This is
a significant improvement in distance measurements using
ultrasonic sensors. The applications of the same technology
to angle measurements and data communication are also
discussed."

Reconfigurable Computing: Peripheral Power
and Area Optimisation Techniques
YiShian Lee, Tim Oliver, Douglas Maskell
"This paper examines techniques to achieve power, area
and configuration storage reductions in the peripherals of a
reconfigurable computing system. The two techniques
chosen are the propagation of constants to the peripheral
core and the modification of the Finite State Machine (FSM)
to reduce switching activity. The constant propagation
technique is based on the observation that configuration of
peripheral devices is generally set only once during the
lifetime of the device. Since the peripheral is running only a
single function, the control registers now become
redundant, as there is only one input for each of the
registers. Removing this eliminates much of the redundant
control registers and routines. FSM modification is based on
the observation that signal transitions consume power. To
reduce the power consumption, the state representations in
the FSM are replaced by Gray Code. Gray code only
changes one bit at a time, hence, power consumption can
be reduced. Results show a reduction in area and
configuration storage of up to 20% and a power reduction of
up to 7%."

Intelligent Automated Health Systems for

Olaf Diegel
"Intelligent health systems are good examples of the
integration between users and technology. Elderly users
have very specific requirements for health and safety. They
constitute a special user group as they are strongly habit
focused and are thus good subjects for intelligent systems.
Smart house computer management systems need to have
intelligent systems in order to make users lifestyles safe
and healthy while, at the same time, giving them
independence of living. This paper describes how such a
system was implemented whereby the computer
incorporates an intelligent system which initially learns from
its users habits and then starts to make intelligent decisions
based on these patterns. This helps users better manage

Method for Asynchronous Concurrent Systems
Chikatoshi Yamada
"Design verification has played an important role in the
design of large scale and complex systems. In this article,
we focus on specification process of model checking.
Behaviors of modeled systems are in general specified by
temporal formulas of computation tree logic, and users must
know well about temporal specification because the
specification might be complex. We propose a method by
which temporal formulas are obtained inductively, and
amounts of memory, OBDD nodes, and execution time are

we show how to apply neural network to software reliability
modeling by designing different elements of neural

Digital Control of High DC Voltage Converter
Based on Cockcroft Walton Voltage Multiplier
Circuit
Saad Mekhilef
A new method of controlling high DC voltage based on
Cockcroft Walton Voltage Multiplier circuit by using digital
controller is presented. The digital controller is developed
using Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLD). The
proposed system utilizes a single-phase AC as an input
supply. The power switching devices in the controlled
bridge are controlled by the multiple-pulse Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM) switching technique so as to minimize
the low order harmonic present on the AC side of the
converter system. A low pass filter is incorporated in the
circuit to filter out unwanted harmonics and to give a
sinusoidal AC current. A high frequency transformer with
1:1 ratio is incorporated in the design to provide galvanic
isolation for better circuit performance and protection. The
optimum operation of transformer core in four quadrant of
B-H curve is also considered in the proposed converter
topology. The laboratory model of the converter is
developed and tested. The experimental result is compared

The proposed algorithm incorporates PRPSO with a new
Relative Velocity Updating (RVU) approach to tradeoff the
solution of each slave processing unit. The parallel
algorithm based on the synchronous parallel
implementation is developed to consider the neighborhoods
decomposition of multiple particle swarm optimizers. The
proposed PRPSO divides the neighborhood into sub-

UC solutions are remarkably improved. The proposed
method is performed on a test system up to 100 generating

numerical results show an economical saving in the total

Assessments for the Impacts and Benefits of
Wind Farm Placement
Jen-Hao Teng, Chin-Ling Yu
"Wind generation plays a major role on renewable energy
sources; it is very important for future energy developments
and renewable energy industries. Therefore, the power
system impacts and economic benefits of wind generation
must be clarified before wind farm placement and
installation. In this paper, a simple assessment method for
wind farm placement combining the power system impact
assessment and economic benefit analysis is proposed. For
a candidate wind farm location, the maximum permitted
wind generation capacity can be estimated by analytical
formulas with respect to the interconnection requirements.
After the maximum permitted capacity was obtained, a
benefit/cost analysis can be used to determine whether this
investment project is profitable. In order to simplify the
whole planning procedures, a user-friendly Human-Machine
Interface (HMI) used for data input, interconnection
requirement selection and final report printout is also

characteristics of wind power, the sensitivity analysis for
economic benefits with respect to the variations of wind

developed in this paper will be helpful for wind power

Energy-saving Flyback Converter for EDM
Applications
Carl Michael Odulio, Luis Sison, Miguel Escoto
"Electrical discharge machining (EDM) uses controlled
electric sparks to erode the metal in a workpiece, and this
method is now a well established machining process for
high power applications. EDM power supplies utilizing
different topologies for high power applications (e.g. full
bridge configuration) are widely available. Through the
years, EDM processes have increasingly been used in high
precision machining and in manufacturing micromechanical
components, with new low power topologies being
investigated for the latter. We implemented a current mode
flyback converter for use in low power EDM applications.
This topology has an energy conservation feature and
removes the need for output bulk capacitors. Energy used
in the erosion process will come from the energy stored in
the flyback transformer and will be transferred to the small
output filter capacitors and the effective capacitance of the
tool, workpiece, and dielectric combination. A
servomechanism that controls the arc distance will
determine the output voltage. We have developed an EDM
power supply prototype utilizing the flyback topology for low
power applications with minimal components count and
inherent protection under short circuit conditions. Our work
includes the design, fabrication, and characterization of the
whole system. We compared the efficiency and quality of
work of our proposed topology with that of a linear

"Power, Rate and QoS Control for Impulse Radio"
Rudolf Mathar, Anke Feiten
"Because of its limitations due to interference, ultra-
wideband impulse radio needs a careful investigation of the
signal-to-interference ratio (SIR). This paper contributes to
understanding the theoretical foundations of the SIR effects
in multi-user impulse radio systems. Two basic aspects are
investigated. First, the set of admissible power allocations
to maintain certain quality-of-service thresholds is
described. Secondly, the geometry of the set of feasible
reciprocal bit rates is characterized. Both sets turn out to
have certain monotonicity and convexity properties. We
furthermore discuss the case that the pulse repetition time
is used as a global parameter to achieve an admissible
power allocation at the price of proportionally reduced
quality-of-service parameters. Techniques from analyzing
code division multiple access systems are generalized and
applied to impulse radio in this paper."

On the Periodicity of Time-series Network and
Service Metrics
Joseph Lizier, Terry Dawson
"The presence of an underlying periodicity in time-series
network and service metrics has been used as a basis for
some recent anomaly detection techniques. These
techniques however assume the presence of a periodicity,
and would benefit from the concept of a quantitative figure
of merit for the strength of a given periodicity in the metric.
We survey a number of potential techniques for this
purpose, and find none suitable. As such, we construct
such a figure of merit to suit our application. Use of the
figure of merit allows selection of the most appropriate
period for the metric, and we present an efficient automated
method for this selection. Furthermore, this figure of merit is
a useful indicator of whether periodic analysis for anomaly
detection is in fact suitable for the given metric. Finally, we
suggest a number of other areas where use of the figure of
merit could enhance anomaly detection using periodic
analysis."

A Failure Analysis of the Tomogravity and EM
Methods
Suyong Eum, Richard Harris, John Murphy
"A traffic matrix provides a major input to the design,
planning and management of a telecommunications
network. As the Internet is being proposed as the principal
delivery mechanism for telecommunications traffic at the
present time and this network is not owned or managed by
a single entity, there are significant challenges for network
planners and managers needing to determine equipment
and topology configurations for the various sections of the
Internet that are currently the responsibility of ISPs and
traditional telcos. Planning of these subnetworks typically
requires a traffic matrix of demands that is then used to
infer the flows on the administrator's network. Unfortunately,
computation of the traffic matrix from measurements of
individual flows is extremely difficult due to the fact that the
problem formulation generally leads to the need to solve an
under-determined system of equations. Thus, there has
been a major effort from among researchers to obtain the
traffic matrix using various inference techniques. In this
paper, we have studied the impact of the underlying
assumptions for two methods that have shown promise in
the estimation of Internet traffic demand matrices known as
the Tomogravity and EM (Expectation and Maximization)
methods respectively. As the Tomogravity model is a
combination of the well-known gravity model and the
method of least squares we have also considered the
problem of obtaining a good prior traffic matrix for the least
squares component of this model. We have demonstrated
that the accuracy of these methods is highly dependent
upon the underlying assumptions of these models, as well
as the selection of an appropriate prior traffic matrix."

Establishing Physical Survivability of Large

"Establishing the physical survivability of large networks is
not a trivial task. Some techniques for assessing physical
survivability such as the cutset method can not deal with
large size networks [1], [2]. A fast technique for finding
biconnected components of a graph and testing the network
for node-/link-bridges, presented in [3], does not provide
any further information, such as identifying the fundamental
cycles within the network, which would significantly benefit
the next phase of network design for protection using such
techniques as shared backup path protection (SBPP), p-
cycle, or ring protection [3]. This paper presents an
alternative technique, based on graph theory, for evaluating
the physical survivability of networks. This technique can
deal with network sizes of many thousand nodes, with
computational times which are comparable with the
biconnected components method, whilst providing more
information about the susceptibility of a network to
individual link and node failures in preparation for the next

Dynamic Router Tables for Full

Sieteng Soh, Lely Hiryanto, Suresh Rai, Raj P.
Gopalan
"We propose a dynamic-Full-Expansion-Compression
(DFEC) technique that requires exactly three memory
accesses for each IP address lookup as that required in the
static-FEC. A prefix update in the static scheme needs table
reconstruction that requires hundreds of milliseconds, and
hence the approach is unsuitable for use in a dynamic-
environment. DFEC selectively decompresses the table to
obtain addresses that are affected by a prefix update,
modifies their next-hops, and recompresses the data
structure. The resulting tables will be identical to what would
be obtained by a full reconstruction, but at much lower
computational cost. We have implemented our algorithm in
ANSI-C and have run it on a 3.2 GHz Pentium-4 to build an
FEC table of each of the following five databases:

Design of Multicast Routing and Wavelength
Assignment in Multifiber WDM Mesh Networks

Lunchakorn Wuttisittikulkij
"This paper proposes new mathematical formulations for
solving the multicast routing and wavelength assignment
(MC-RWA) in multifiber WDM mesh networks for
asymmetric traffics. We investigated MC-RWA problems in
three different MC-RWA network design approaches
namely Light-Tree (LT), Partial Virtual Light-Tree (PVLT),
and Virtual Light-Tree (VLT) meshed network. Given a
static multicast asymmetric traffic set, the number of
wavelengths a fiber can support, and the network design
approach (LT, PVLT, or VLT), we seek to realize the
minimal number of fiber requirements. Numerical results on
a small test network are given for highlighting the key
characteristics of each MC-RWA strategies. Based on the
test network, the numerical results demonstrate that in most
cases PVLT and VLT networks require fewer fibers than LT
network, signifying that wavelength conversions can be
useful for reducing fiber requirements in asymmetrical
multicast environments using mesh design approaches.
Nonetheless, conversion is not always needed, as partial
wavelength converter allocation appears to be as effective
as full allocation with respect to capacity requirement under
certain network environments."

"Image registration has application in many image
processing tasks. A new gradient-based registration method
that uses the bilinear interpolation equation to predict the
pixel values of one image from those in a reference image
is developed and its bias characteristics analysed. For
sinusoidal signals and step edges, the estimated offset is
biased towards the nearest reference pixel, however for
noise signals, the bias is away from the nearest pixel.
Therefore the bias (and registration accuracy) can actually
improve with the addition of noise. This phenomenon is
demonstrated with two sample images with quite different

calibration before taking images is not prerequisite to the

Yuka Sugiyama
"In this paper we propose a new method of similarity
appraisal between samples in the image obtained by
polymorphism analysis called DGGE (Denaturing Gradient
Gel Electrophoresis). DGGE uses an electrophoresis unit
and needs to observe reactions of samples included in the
gel. Therefore the samples are often visually distorted.
Conventionally the analysis of the DGGE images has been
performed as visual evaluations, which requires a lot of
human labor. Moreover the reliability of the analysis highly
depends on skills of the operator and the reproducibility the
burden of human labor and various others. Then, the
process of extraction of data corresponding to samples from
a DGGE image was automated, and a method of pattern
matching with a degree of similarity for each sample was
introduced. A distortion of DGGE was compensated by use
of a DP matching, often used in the signal processing. A
degree of similarity and classification between samples
Tencon 2005
were enhanced effectively by using the compensated
results."

Novel Masks for Multimodality Image Fusion
using DTCWT
Mohd. Shahid, Sumana Gupta
"We present an image fusion technique using the Dual tree
complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT). We have proposed
novel masks to extract information from the decomposed
structure using DT-CWT. The main goal of this paper is to
introduce a new approach to fuse multimodality images
using dual tree complex wavelet transform. Experiment
results show that the proposed fusion method based on
complex wavelet transform is remarkably better than the
fusion method based on classical discrete wavelet
transform. This method is relevant to visual sensitivity and
tested by merging multisensor, multispectral and
defoucused images apart from CT and MR images. Fusion
is achieved through the formation of a fused pyramid using
the DTCWT coefficients from the decomposed pyramids of
the source images. The fused image is obtained through
conventional inverse dual tree complex wavelet transform
(DTCWT) reconstruction process. Results obtained using
the proposed method show a significant reduction of
distortion."

Robust Background Subtraction based on Bi-
polar Radial Reach Correlation
Yutaka Satoh, Katsuhiko Sakaue
"Background subtraction algorithms are widely utilized as a
technology for segmentation of background and target
objects in images. In particular, the simple background
subtraction algorithm is used in many systems for its ease
and low cost of implementation. However, because this
algorithm relies only on the intensity difference, it has
various problems, such as low tolerance for poor
illumination and shadows and the inability to distinguish
objects from their background when their intensities are
similar. In an earlier study we proposed a new statistic,
known as Radial Reach Correlation (RRC), for
distinguishing similar areas and dissimilar areas when
comparing background images and target images at the
pixel level. And we achieved a robust background
subtraction by evaluating the local texture in images. In this
study we extended this method further and developed a
method to ensure stable background separation even in
cases where the image texture is feeble and the intensity
distribution is biased."

Vision Based Motion Tracking System for
Interactive Entertainment Applications
Jaeyong Chung
"Although the vision based motion recognition plays an
important role in virtual reality and interactive entertainment
area, it has not yet found wide usage. The first main reason
is the unavailability of relatively low cost wireless tracking
system that would operate well enough for inputting
gestures. The second reason lies in the lack of naturalness
in gesture design. That is, so far most gestures used are
either static images or poses and too abstract losing its
intended meaning and affordances, resulting in low usability
and presence. In this paper, we propose architecture for a
low cost re-configurable vision-based motion tracking
system and motion recognition algorithm. The user wears
one or more retro-reflective markers for achieving more
exact tracking performance and make predefined motion
gestures. Through object segmentation processing , 3D
positions of the objects are computed. And then, a motion
gesture corresponding on these 3D position trajectories is
found by a simple correlation-based matching algorithm.
Also, we demonstrate this system by applying it to virtual
environment navigation and interactive entertainments."

Transient Stability Program Using Component-
Based Software Engineering
Hadi Suyono, Khalid Mohamed Nor, Sallehhudin
Yusof
"This paper presents the development of a transient stability
analysis (TSA) program using component based software
engineering (CBSE). The TSA requires the integration of
many analyses such as linear solver (LS), load flow
analysis (LFA), and numerical integration methods. The
CBSE allows existing components to be reused and
integrated with newly developed components. Therefore,
the TSA program can be developed by reusing an existing
LS and LFA software components. Only software
components for numerical integration methods are required
to be developed from scratch. The TSA and LFA software
components are developed based on object oriented design
(OOD). This design involves modeling the power system
devices as entity objects based on the electrical network
primitive data. The advantages of the proposed TSA
application are speeding up programming and saving the
development resources. In addition to, any component can
be replaced or updated without altering or recompiling the
other components in the TSA application. The results in
terms of execution time show that the proposed TSA
application has performance similar to the conventional
procedural development."

Topologically Robust Surface Reconstruction for
3D Shape Modification
Junta Doi, Wataru Sato
"This paper proposes a topologically robust and accurate
shape modeling procedure that approximates a real 3D
object, based not on the widely used so-called ICP (Iterative
Closed Point) algorithm, for the noise resistive modeling
and especially for the organized and matrix-formed
meshing, enabling the quantitative 3D shape modification
easy. A geometric model with desired meshing is directly
reconstructed based on a solid modeling approach. The
radial distance of each scanning point from the axis of the
cylindrical coordinates is measured using a laser
triangulation sensor. The angular and vertical positions of
the laser beam are two other coordinate values of the
scanning to be simultaneously acquired. A face array listing
(topology), which defines the vertex (sampling point)
connectivity and the shape of the mesh, is assigned to meet
the desired meshing. Some bioengineering examples are
demonstrated for the quantitative shape modification."

End-users resource consumption of spam and a
3D anti-spam evaluation framework
Minh Tran, Grenville Armitage
"Our work is motivated by the challenge of coupling
excessive network consumption and control of the
consumption; the importance of cost models to quantify and
characterize the consumption; and the crucial requirements
of controlling techniques to limit the theft of network
resources. In this paper, we particularly examine the
network consumption of spam. We quantify the end-users
network resource consumption caused by spam as a
function of different email retrieving mechanisms, and
estimate the financial costs of spam for both residential and
business users. The paper also describes our anti-spam
rate-limiting tool, MT Proxy, and introduces a general three-
dimensional framework to evaluate anti-spam techniques.
We examine and compare both traditional and novel anti-
spam solutions and show a simple comparison using our
model."

Anti-collision algorithm using Bin slot in RFID
System
Ho-Seung Choi, Jae-Hyun Kim
"Anti-collision algorithm is very important in the RFID
system, because it decides tag identification time and tag
identification accuracy. We propose improved anti-collision
algorithms using Bin slot in RFID system. In the proposed
algorithms, if the reader memorizes the Bin slot information,
it can reduce the repetition of unnecessary PingID
command and the time to identify tags. If we also use
ScrollAllID command in the proposed algorithm, we know
the sequence of collided ID bits. Using this sequence, we
can reduce the repetition of PingID command and tag
identification time. We analyze the performance of the
proposed anti-collision algorithms and compare the
performance of the proposed algorithms with that of the
conventional algorithm. We also validated analytic results
using simulation. According to the analysis, for the random
tag ID, comparing the proposed algorithms with the
conventional algorithm, the performance of the proposed
algorithms is about 130% higher when the number of the
tags is 200. And for the sequential tag ID, the performance
of the conventional algorithm decreases. On the contrary,
the performance of the proposed algorithm using ScrollAllID
command is about 16% higher than the case of using
random tag ID."

mitigate the influence, various power quality disturbances

taken. Wavelet packet is developed on wavelet transform,
which can provide more plenteous time-frequency

(PQ) recorder is designed in this paper to achieve the goal
of PQ remote monitoring and recording. An EWS is a Web
server that runs on an embedded system and is possible to
provide a powerful Web-based management and control
interface with tiny volume. Therefore, it will be very suitable
for PQ remote monitoring and recording. The experimental
platform used in this paper is a Samsung S3C4510-based
embedded system. This embedded system features an
uCLinux operating system; therefore, the design and
implementation of the proposed EWS system will be more
efficient and effective. An embedded PQ analyzer with
appropriately designed I/O interface and peripherals is
designed and implemented firstly. The PQ analyzing
functions implemented in the proposed system include 1)
system voltage and frequency calculation, 2) harmonic
spectra and total harmonic distortion calculation and 3)
abnormal event recorder etc. Then, a Web Human-Machine

which is suitable for EWS and can be used for PQ

System
Harnaak Khalsa, Jingxin Zhang
"The deficiencies of present power measurement definitions
and techniques in the presence of harmonics is a known
problem. As a solution to this problem, a new Three Phase
Power Theory (3PT), which splits the instantaneous power
into active and non-active instantaneous power, is
proposed. With good knowledge of the active/non-active
power components an accurate measurement especially of
the non-active component is achieved. Also this non-active
component can be utilised to achieve better compensation.
This paper presents the new 3PT for the three-phase
system. The performance of the 3PT for linear and
nonlinear loads in the presence of harmonics is illustrated
with case studies. The case study uses unbalanced
resistive loads with diode to create nonlinear load. Results
of case studies and applications and analysis of the results

apply it to fusion of multisensor local estimates. The
suboptimal two-stage filter for linear dynamic systems is
designed: the local optimal Kalman estimates computed at
the first stage are linearly fused at the second stage. Its

Performance of Adaptive Transmit Diversity with
Orthogonal Space-Time Block Coding in
Microcell and Macrocell Channel Environments
Seedahmed Mahmoud, Zahir Hussain, Kevin Lin
"Recently an adaptive transmit eigenbeamforming with
orthogonal space-time block coding (Eigen-OSTBC) has
been proposed. This model was simulated over macrocell
environment with a uniform linear array (ULA) at the base
station (BS). In this paper we investigate the impact of
various antenna geometries on the performance of this
scheme as well as the performance over microcell and
macrocell channel environments. The geometrical-based
hyperbolically distributed scatterers (GBHDS) channel
models were simulated with angular spreads (AS) taken
from experimental data. The ULA and the uniform circular
array (UCA) are considered at the BS. In the simulation
conducted, results have shown that the Eigen-OSTBC
system has a higher performance gain than OSTBC
systems in macrocell than microcell environment (where the
AS gets larger). It is also observed that BS antenna array
with different separation distances also affects the
performance of both Eigen-OSTBC and OSTBC systems.
However, the error-rate performance curves of ULA and
UCA configurations are very similar."

A scalable parallel computational core for
embedded processing
Refik Shadich, Ian McLoughlin
"Embedded computational hardware has become prevalent
in recent years for communications signal processing for
reasons including size and cost. The availability of
competing single processor solutions from traditional
vendors gives system designers a degree of choice. Some
recent market entrants have even embraced parallel
concepts within their architectures. However the fact
remains that while one particular computational device or
parallel configuration may suit a given application, it seldom
suits a broad range of other applications. This promotes
design inefficiency: either developers familiar with one
solution from a previous project choose to use it for the next
project despite some probable degree of mismatch, or they
are faced with a costly learning curve implied in the
adoption of a different, but possibly better matched,
architecture. A preferable approach is to allow
computational hardware to be adapted at a micro- and
macro-architectural level to fit requirements on a project-to-
project basis, but maintaining common instruction set and
development tools. This gives designers the flexibility to
choose the degree of parallelism and type of parallel
arrangement required for their application, but without
requiring a new tool and hardware learning curve. This
paper describes the 2ke, a flexible and modular
computational system that allows developers to standardise
on one processor, instruction set, software architecture and
toolchain for many projects. Architectural enhancements to
its forerunner, the 2k2, are presented to permit micro-
architectural parallelism to be chosen along a continuum
from SISD at one extreme to full SIMD at the other, whilst
the very nature of the 2ke permits extension to MIMD along
an orthogonal development direction. Results in terms of
logic cell usage, current consumption and memory usage
will be presented for each arrangement for example
application code."

Calibration Technique for Sigma-Delta
Modulation Loops using Radio-Frequency Phase
Detection
Soeren Sappok, Andreas Neyer, Andre Kruth, Ralf

"A novel calibration scheme for predistortion ${\Sigma
\Delta}$ PLLs is proposed in this paper. In contrast to
present calibration algorithms this technique offers a digital
representation of the high frequency phase characteristic.
The architecture uses minimum chip area by synchronously
sampling the data content of an asynchronous divider
chain. Using this technique to detect the phase difference
during a step response allows to determine the real loop
gain within 7~${\mu}$s with an accuracy better than 0.1\%.
Obtaining this, the deviation from the desired loop gain can
be adjusted by a digitally controlled charge pump in order to
derive the wanted loop transfer function. This is mandatory
for predistortion modulation loops. The architecture is
designed by systemtheoretical calculation of the loop

This paper reports a novel scalable CMOS four-quadrant

range between 3.3V and 1V power supply with a maximum
input dynamic range of 500mV(@ 3.3V supply) at both the
inputs (multiplier & multiplicand inputs) and a -3dB
bandwidth of around 1GHz. The simulations were carried

Probability of Interpolation for a Mute Sample
Interpolative A/D Converter with Horizon-Length
Two
Milan Derpich, Daniel Quevedo, Graham Goodwin
“There are two major issues which underly the design of an
analog to digital converter; namely ""when to sample?"" and
""how to represent the amplitude of each sample?"". In the
majority of past work, these two aspects have tipically been
treated separately. Recently, we have introduced a novel
algorithm called MSIC which uses moving horizon
optimization ideas to determine both when and how to
sample. Our earlier work gave a heuristic description of the
algorithm and showed, via simulations, that a performance
gain was achieved in both the required bit rate and the
achieved distortion level. This seemingly paradoxical result
is due to the interpolative capabilities inherent in MSIC. The
goal of the current paper is to give theoretical support to the
MSIC algorithm. In particular, we provide bounds on the
probability that a beneficial interpolation occurs for the
particular case of horizon length 2 with flat, unity error
weighting filter."

"In this paper we investigate 2 transmit and 1 receive

multiplexing (SF-OFDM) and space-time OFDM (ST-

a redundancy method to combat channel impairments. We

We simulate our concatenated SF-OFDM and ST-OFDM
over a multipath fading channel using Naftali 802.11
channel model under different delay spreads in relation to
outdoor environment. Concatenated SF-OFDM performs
slightly better than ST-OFDM at delay spread of 2.0

Designing for Low ISI in an OFDM Modem
Scott Leyonhjelm, Mike Faulkner
"One problem that arises in OFDM systems is when the
currently received OFDM symbol is distorted by the
adjacently transmitted OFDM symbols. This is known as
InterSymbol Interference (ISI) and is a function of the
combined impulse response of the wireless channel and the
transmit and receive digital and analog filters. This paper
illustrates the effect of the digital and analog filters on ISI in
a typical 802.11a/g WLAN OFDM modem. It is shown that
the filters, rather than the actual wireless channel, dominate
the impulse response. Two techniques, increasing the
digital interpolation ratio and the use of frequency domain
interpolation, are then introduced with the effect of reducing
the impulse response and ISI. The result of implementing
these two techniques at the transmitter is to reduce the
required cyclic prefix by 50% for an ISI requirement of
40dB."

Adaptive Receiver Beamforming for Diversity
Coded OFDM Systems: Maximum SNR Design
Kevin Lin, Zahir Hussain
"Over the recent years, advance multiantenna transmission
schemes have attracted considerable interest due to their
potential benefits in improving the system capacity and
error-rate performance. As a result, space-time coding and
transmit beamforming have emerged as the two most
promising techniques. Because of limited space at the
mobile station (MS) and the fact that download intensive
services are to be introduced in the next generation of
cellular systems, most of research efforts have been
pouring on transmit diversity techniques. In this paper, we
focus on adaptive uplink transmission and reception
techniques for wireless communications and introduce a
Tencon 2005
new frequency-time encoding scheme that can be used to
exploit frequency diversity branches for broadband OFDM
systems with only one antenna at the MS. By incorporating
this with receive beamforming at the base station (BS), the
instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is maximized and
the system error-rate performance is then further improved.
Numerical results showed that systems employed the
proposed transceiver structure have a 4-dB improvement
over the conventional space-time coding scheme when two
receive antennas are used."

Transmission of Compressed Multimedia Data
over Wireless Channels Using Space-time OFDM
with Adaptive Beamforming
Tasso Athanasiadis, Kevin Lin, Zahir Hussain
"The transmission of multimedia data over wireless
channels poses significant constraints on the
communication system bandwidth, energy, and latency. To
overcome these bottlenecks to wireless multimedia
communication, various channel coding and transmit
diversity schemes have been proposed. In previous work,
we have shown that space-time block-coding (STBC) with
adaptive beamforming (STBC-OFDM-AB) is an effective
technique for improving the error-rate performance and
channel capacity of wireless multimedia systems utilizing
OFDM. In this paper, we introduce a transmission system
for multimedia communication employing STBC-OFDM with
adaptive beamforming incorporating a perceptually-based
image compression coder - which consists of a 2-D discrete
wavelet transform (DWT), an adaptive quantizer (with
thresholding) and variable-length entropy encoding. Initial
simulation results based on the transmission of compressed
images, showed that the performance improvement
introduced by STBC-OFDM-AB can be readily observed,
and compared to other transmission methods is better
suited to wireless multimedia communication."

Fuzzy Matching Scheme for Stereo Vision based

"Navigation is a significant barrier to individuals with visual
impairments. In response to this barrier, a wearable stereo-

named Stereo Vision based Electronic Travel Aid (SVETA)
has been developed. Stereo cameras are employed in the
SVETA in order to provide information about orientation,

problem in computer vision, and stereo matching is the
most important and critical issue of stereo vision. In this

fuzzy relations is used to establish the correspondence in
the presence of intensity variations in stereo images. The
strength of relationship of fuzzified data of the windows in
left and the right images of stereo pairs is determined by
considering the appropriate fuzzy aggregation operators.
However, these measures fail to establish correspondence
over the occluded pixels. Left/Right consistence check is
performed to overcome these problems. The final disparity

tone based image sonification. Experiments with standard

Tencon 2005
and a fuzzy gain scheduling technique. A fuzzy c-means
clustering technique is used in selecting appropriate
number of membership functions and constructing the
shape of membership functions. Then, fuzzy IF-THEN rules
are determined using a fuzzy gain scheduling technique. By
implementation of a fuzzy c-means clustering and a fuzzy
gain scheduling, the need for heuristic method for designing
fuzzy membership functions and rules from expert
knowledge is omitted. The proposed fuzzy supervisory PI
controller is applied to a pilot plant binary distillation column.
The task of the controller is to maintain the product
composition when the disturbance enters the column in the
form of the changes in feed flow rate. The results show that
the fuzzy supervisory PI controllers operate this nonlinear,
multivariable process efficiently."

The Application of Fuzzy Data Mining in Coal-
Fired Boiler Combustion System
Xi-ning Yu, Cheng-lin Niu, Jian-qiang Li
"Coal-fired boiler combustion system is a complex multi-
input and multi-output plant with strong nonlinear and large
time-delay. Currently the research of optimizing the
combustion process is monitor oriented instead of decision
oriented. So it lacks the interaction and decision making
with the user. To improve the performance of combustion
process, the key point is to decide the optimization values
for the main controllable parameters. This paper proposed a
fuzzy data mining algorithm to decide the optimization
values from the history data sets. In order to soften the
partition boundary of the domain, the fuzzy sets theory was
introduced into the association mining process. This method
can translate Quantitative Association Rules Problem
(QARP) into Boolean Association Rules Problem (BARP).
Finally some results of instance analysis based on the
practical parameters of 300MW power plant unit are given
to prove that the fuzzy mining method has good accuracy
and interpretability. The effective results are achieved by
guiding actual operating based on the optimizing values
gotten from the fuzzy data mining process."

A Proposed Air-Conditioning System Using
Fuzzy Algorithm for Industrial Application
Md. Shakowat Zaman Sarker
"This paper describes the development of a novel air
condition control system based on fuzzy logic. A fuzzy logic
air conditioning controller with two inputs and one output
has been designed with an industrial application in mind.
This system consists of two sensors for feedback control:
one to monitor temperature and another one to monitor
humidity. There are three control elements: cooling valve,
heating valve, and humidifying valve, to adjust the
temperature and humidity of the air supply. A fuzzy rule for
this controller is formulated by temperature and humidity.
The model of this controller has been tested using MATLAB
simulation."

Wireless Ad-Hoc Networking: Analysis and
Validation of Simulation Results
Houssein Hallani, Seyed Shahrestani, Frank
Stootman
"A wireless Ad-hoc network consists of wireless nodes
communicating without the need for a centralized
administration, in which all nodes potentially contribute to
the routing process. In this paper we report the
experimental results obtained from establishing a small
physical network. These results are then compared with
those obtained from simulations that are carried out using
OPtimised NETwork (OPNET) software simulator.
Correlation between the two sets of results is found to be
satisfactory enough to validate the simulation technique and
process. Given this validation, the investigation of a larger
scale Ad-hoc network is then performed based on similar
simulation techniques. The simulation results of the larger
scale network confirm our previously obtained results. An
important aspect of which is that the nature of the drop in
throughput with respect to the number of nodes trying to
communicate simultaneously with a single node, is linear."

Internet Protocol Television (IPTV)
Abdulrahman Yarali, Ann Cherry
"This paper is intended to be an introduction into the issues
involved with delivering IPTV over DSL. IPTV technology
and available broadband bandwidths are evolving to the
point where DSL providers can effectively enter the market
of TV delivery to their customers. However, there are still
issues concerning bandwidth, codec selection, QoS, and
ROI. This paper will address each of these issues and
discuss the major players involved in deploying this new
technology. Though the paper will not go in-depth
technically about how IPTV works, it will provide a good
overview of IPTV architecture, how it will be delivered from
the service providerâs head-end equipment to the end-user
(the consumer), and the differences between IPTV
architecture and legacy cable TV (television) architecture.
Most importantly, it will describe the importance of why
moving to IPTV is a competitive âhave-toâ for service
providers to survive."

Validation of the Random Waypoint Mobility
Model Through a Real World Mobility Trace
Andres Rojas, Philip Branch, Grenville Armitage
"User mobility models are used in simulations of mobile
communications systems to study various characteristics of
network performance. One of the models which is in
common use is the Random Waypoint Model (RWP). The
RWP is a simple mobility model based on random
destinations, speeds and pause times. The RWP is often
criticised as not being representative ofhow humans
actually move. Paradoxically, validation of the RWP against
real mobility data is seen as being difficult due to the
impracticalities of obtaining real mobility data. We give
details of a real world user movement trace from which we
Tencon 2005
obtained data about one individual's destinations, average
speed and rest times whilst moving throughout a city-wide
area. We present results from this real life data and useit to
validate some of the key characteristics of the RWP. In this

Triet Giang, Jidong Wang
"Threshold Access Sharing (TAS) is a policy based Call
Admission Control (CAC) scheme in wireless IP networks. It
has been shown to adapt well to the limited wireless

In this paper, we proposed a hybrid scheme which
combines an improved TAS scheme with a simplified rate-
based borrowing scheme, aiming to improve its
performance both on new call blocking and handoff call
dropping probability. Our analysis and simulation have
shown that the new scheme has met the expectation and its
complexity is comparable to TAS."

"In this paper we propose a modified flooding algitrithm for

up time and does not have to maintain routing tables.
Because of its significant drawbacks with respect to the

Using the minimum first-derivative length (MFDL) path, we
improve the blocking probability performance of a circuit-
switched grid network without increasing the call set-up time
and processor loading of the algorithm."

SERA: Service Ratio Based Preemption for
Minimizing Throughput Loss in Networks
Chun Hau Lau, Sanjay Bose, Boon Hee Soong
"Resource allocation is a fundamental problem in the
connection oriented network environment. One key problem
is to address the situation when the requested bandwidth
exceeds the capacity of the network link. Decision has to be
made to reject the new request or preempt any existing
connections in order to admit the new request. In the event
that preemption is triggered, multiple existing connections
may need to be preempted in order to free sufficient
resources for the new request. The time invested and work
done for existing connections may be lost. This will affect
the network revenue as well as its overall throughput. In this
paper, we present a decentralized preemption strategy
(SERA) to minimize any loss of throughput. We propose to
use the ratio of the connections remaining holding time and
its elapsed time as the suitable preemption criteria. A
connection that has just started will be better to preempt
since the work and time invested in it are minimal. Finally,
both the simulation and analytical results confirm that this
preemption strategy can significantly reduce the
degradation that would otherwise occur in the throughput."

Processors Communications in the Context of
Virtual Switch Framework Using the CAN-IOP
Protocol
Tarek GUESMI
"A CORBA-compliant Object Request Broker (ORB) can
facilitate data communication between dissimilar hardware,
dissimilar operating systems, and modules written in
different languages. Thus, in our proposal all control and
management communication occurs within the context of
the ORB. Our idea is based on a conception of a free
architecture as a CORBA-based middleware for distributed
embedded systems built on the CAN bus that realize a
virtual switching architecture. This platform has to connect
different physical network types. Thus we propose a
solution to make it to behave as a router or a switcher. In
our proposed framework we will use an ORB that may be
conform to the forthcoming Real-time CORBA standards to
be embedded in a network switch. Our target switch control
environment includes support for Virtual Switching Interface
(VSI) which is a protocol that allows multiple independent
signalling processors to interact with a switch control
processor. The scope of this paper is to conceive an
application that controls a such switch using the VSI
messaging protocol within the context of embedded ORB
over a free Distributed and Realtime Embedded (DRE)
architecture built on the CAN bus."

Optical Switching Using Cascaded Generalised
Mach-Zehnder Switches
Laurie Cahill
"Optical switches based on planar lightwave technology
offer stable and robust means of achieving space-division
switching. One such candidate is the generalized Mach-
Zehnder optical switch. This switch normally comprises two
multimode interference (MMI) couplers connected by an
array of phase shifters. However, such a switching structure
does not possess the non-blocking characteristics required
in most telecommunication applications. In this paper it is
shown that, if the architecture is extended to include
additional MMI couplers, then the resultant cascaded
generalised Mach-Zehnder switch can provide improved
blocking behaviour."

Camera-based 3D Tracking System
Nazim Mir-Nasiri
"Camera-based systems are frequently used to track
moving objects which are in the field of their view. This
paper describes design and development of a camera-
based visual system that can constantly track moving object
without necessity of calibrating camera in real world
coordinates. This reduces the complexity of the system and
processing time due to the unnecessary conversions and
calibrations. The system consists of a two-motor pan-tilt
camera driving mechanism, PCI image acquisition board,
and PWM-based DC-motor driver board. It uses image
processing techniques to identify and locate the object in
3D scene and motion control algorithms to direct the
camera towards the object. Thus the objective of the project
is to develop a vision system and control algorithms which
can be locked on the moving object within the field of its
view. The developed software and related interface
hardware monitor and control the motors in such a way that
the moving object should always be located right at the
center of the camera image plane. The system, in general,
simulates 3D motion of the human eye when it always tends
to focus on the moving object within the range of its view. It
actually imitates the tracking ability of human eye."

Assembly Modelling Through Constraint-based
Manipulations in A Virtual Reality Environment
Yongmin Zhong, Bijan Shirinzadeh, Weiyin Ma,
Hwee Choo Liaw
"With todays Virtual Reality (VR) systems, it is difficult to
create precise assembly models through 3D interactions
due to hardware limitations. In this paper, an efficient
approach is presented for intuitive and precise assembly
modeling in a VR environment. Assembly modelling is
performed by precise constraint-based 3D direct
manipulations in an intuitive manner. Constraint-based
manipulations are accompanied with automatic constraint
recognition and precise constraint satisfaction, and are
realized by allowable motions for precise 3D interactions in
the VR environment. Some special constraint-based
assembly operations are constructed for assembly
modelling in the VR environment. A method for recognizing
the pairs of mating features between assembly components
is presented. This method integrates 3D direct
manipulations with a feature mating knowledge base and
makes the process of recognizing a pair of mating features
intuitive. A concept of offset solid is also presented for
determining assembly components. A prototype system has
been developed for assembly modelling through precise
constraint-based manipulations in an intuitive manner in the

TFRC Fairness Improving Using the Dynamic
Loss Rate Measurement
Yong-Whan Ho, Lee Jeong Kyoon, Ki Young Lee
"In the recent years, demands of real-time audio/video
stream applications have been increased. Many researches
make progress actively for the new demands, and
TFRC(TCP-Friendly Rate Control) is one of the main
stream in this development. This transport protocol which
depends on TCP throughput equation, have been improved
smoothness in transporting multimedia data and fairness
with TCP. In this paper, we proposed a new loss rate
calculation method that changes the weight depending on
the network state as a core of the TFRC protocol. In the
original TFRC method, the loss rate calculation does not
consider the network state and the weight is unchanged. As
a result, in a heavy-congested network, the fairness of
TFRC falls off rapidly and it makes network state worse.
The proposed method gives more weight to the latest loss
interval, when the loss interval has decreased for 5 intervals
or more in a row. In the original method, the latest loss
interval is only assigned 16% of the total weight, regardless
of the current congestion level. The proposed method gives
more weight to the recent loss interval during the congested
period. When the proposed method is used, the latest loss
interval is assigned 61% of the total weight in calculating
the loss rate. In a congested network, TCP's normalized
throughput decreases less than 0.8 with the original
method, but the proposed method can maintain the
throughput more than 0.8 and enables the TCP to exist
along with the TFRC."

Automatic Offset Calibration of Quadrature
Encoder Pulse Sensor For Vector Controlled
Drive of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors
Mongkol Konghirun
"Quadrature Encoder Pulse (QEP) sensor has been widely
used to detect the rotor position of Permanent Magnet
Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) in the vector controlled drive
systems. However, the information regarding to the angular
difference between the index signal and the back emfs of
motor (so called the index offset) is sometimes lacked in the
manufacturers datasheets. As a result, by using the
incorrect offset, the back emfs are not in phase with the
stator currents. Then, the produced electromagnetic torque
is not optimal in the vector controlled drive system of PMSM
using QEP sensor. This paper presents a practical and
simple technique to automatically calibrate this offset. The

An optimum mapping of IPs for On-Chip Network
design based on the minimum latency constraint
Ngo Duc, Hae-Wook Choi
"A new chip design paradigm, so called Network on Chip,
has been introducing based on the demand of integration of
many heterogeneous semiconductor intellectual property
(IP) blocks. The Network on Chip design not only requires
the good performance but also the minimization of several
physical constraints such that the network latency, the used
area as well as the power consumption of design. This
paper analyzes the average latency of heterogeneous
Network on Chip architectures in which the shortest path
routing algorithm is applied. This average latency includes
the queuing latency and the wire latency, and is calculated
for general cases of allocating IPs onto a fixed generic
switching architecture as 2-D Mesh. With different allocation
schemes of IPs, the network has different average
latencies. Hence, this article presents an optimal search
that adopts the Brand and Bound algorithm to find out the
optimal mapping scheme to achieve the minimal network
latency. This algorithm automatically map the desired IPs
onto the target Network on Chip architecture with the
criteria of lowest network latency. The optimal latency, as
our research target, allows us to achieve the design with
low power consumption as well. We also carry out the
experiment for On Chip Multiprocessor Network application.
The results shows that 36.5% and 30.8% of network latency

"With the increase of data transfer rates beyond 100Mbit/s

"Short-term nodal load forecasting is very important for

and a hybrid supervised/unsupervised learning algorithm,
which equips CBCBR with a good generalization capability,
is also proposed. CBCBR can build nodes and connections

layers that are sent to distinct multicast groups
simultaneously. On the other hand, a receiver subscribes to
a subset of groups according to some criterion (e.g.,
network congestion status) with no direct interactivity with
the sender. This paper considers Multisource RLM (MRLM)
in which multiple content sources are available and a
receiver has to subscribe in an RLM manner but has an
additional criterion -- content source priorities. This problem
has applications in remote monitoring and many other
fields. We propose a reception control method called PAC
(Priority-based Autonomous Control).The main idea of PAC
is to allocate active time periods for receiver processes
according to given priorities while leaving each process run
autonomously. A preliminary experimental study is shown to
demonstrate algorithm PAC."

YAMANE, Mie Sato, Masao KASUGA
"More and more video users now enjoy the sense of a
gspecial seath given by modern video devices thanks to the
development of broadcast technology and digital
technology. There are also increasing opportunities for
users to view video presentations in the work environment.
When different types of video equipment are used,
however, their technical characteristics affect how the
content is displayed; it is not uncommon for viewers of the
presentations under different media to be left with differing
impressions. This research is intended to point out
directions for development of systems which will provide
viewers with the same sensory impressions of any given
video production, regardless of the mode of viewing. The
present report focuses on 2 projectors of differing types.
The projectors were adjusted to minimize differences in
color reproduction; the investigation examined sensory
assessments of the perceived differences between the
display modalities."

The 802.11 Technology Gap Case Studies in

Benjamin Turnbull, Jill Slay
"Much has been written discussing the security
vulnerabilities with 802.11 based networks, and what
constitutes legal and illegal activity within the area.
However, there is little academic literature available
discussing whether this technology is being exploited for
criminal purposes, and if it is, for what purposes. This paper
investigates all public prosecutions where the accused have
misused 802.11 wireless networks and the consequent

An optimized DCF schema with Downlink and
Uplink bandwidth control in 802.11 WLAN
Hui Feng, Ting Wang, Bo Hu
"In 802.11 infrastructure BSS, the channel throughput will
decrease when increasing the number of competing STAs.
Also severe asymmetry exists between downlink and uplink
data because AP accesses the share channel without any
priority. Both problems are solved by a new MAC schema
which adjusts the initial contention window of AP and STA
to optimized values. A new estimation method for STA
number is also proposed via dynamic MAC addresses
statistic at AP side. Afterwards, optimized initial contention
window values are derived from a mathematical model
under downlink and uplink bandwidth control. Simulation
indicates that the schema proposed can estimate the
channel situation exactly and improve channel throughput
with downlink/uplink bandwidth control obviously."

Enhancing Data Efficiency in IEEE- 802.11a Using
Frequency and Time domain Equalization
Vijay Kumar Chakka
"In this paper, increase in data rate is achieved by removing
the cyclic prefix between the OFDM symbols. The
intersymbol interference and intercarrier interference
caused by the removal of cyclic prefix are removed by
equalization. We propose two methods of equalization. In
the first method, the zero frequency domain equalization
(ZF-FEQ) is done by making use of spill over in the unused
carriers. The pre-FFT time domain Equalizer minimizes the
noise amplification caused by ZF-FEQ. In the second
method, the Inter Symbol Interference and Inter Carrier
Interference are removed at the transmitter itself by
transmitting data in the unused carriers, which is the
combination of data in the used carriers. The requirement of
power in the unused carriers increases as the length of the
channel increases. Using the TEQ, the effective length of
the channel is reduced to minimum. The simulation results
are presented in support of these two methods."

Path-Based Minimum Power Broadcast Problem
in Wireless Networks
Yean-Fu Wen
"Broadcasting is the most common method of transmission
for shared media in local area networks. The radius range
determines the number of hearing nodes that can be used
to deliver multicast messages and replace multiple copies
with the same packet through unicast in wireless networks.
The crucial design challenge is energy efficiency, because
each individual node only has a small battery as a power
source. Thus, the objective of this paper is to find the
optimal radius range so that the total power consumption is
minimized. The problem is formulated as a minimum power
broadcast tree constructed based on paths instead of links
or nodes. Since this problem is NP-complete, we adopt
Lagrangian Relaxation (LR) to decompose it and solve the
sub-problems. The LR dual-mode problem ensures the
objective lower bound value. The primal mode problem is
solved via our proposed approximation heuristic, which
takes prompts from a set of LR multipliers, to obtain the
upper bounds objective value. We present experimental
results from randomly generated networks and show that
our proposed algorithm saves more than 30%, 5%, and
10% energy compared to the Prims minimum spanning tree
(PMST), the Broadcast Incremental Power (BIP), and
another proposed Greedy Incremental Broadcast Tree
(GIBT) algorithms, respectively.n"

Rapid 3D Simultaneous Algebraic Reconstruction
Technique (SART) on Clustering System
KOSIN KALARATT
"An important problem in image processing is to construct a
cross section of an object from several images of its trans-
axial projection. However, the time consuming and the
complexity of the reconstruction process are the crucial
problems. In addition, the reconstruction process requires
very high performance of the computer. Therefore, in this
paper, concepts of parallel programming method is
employed to speed up a 3D Simultaneous Algebraic
Reconstruction Technique. The scheduling process in the
clustering system is improved. The appropriate amount of
work is distributed to each computer (node) in the clustering
system using a work-pool scheduling scheme. In this
scheme, even though the work load for each node in
clustering system is uneven, the variation of the processing
time for each node is insignificant. Our proposed system
works successfully with decreasing the reconstruction time
up to 75% percent referred to the normal image
reconstruction form projection performed on a single

Adaptive Multiresolution Representation of a
Point-Based 3D Model for Rendering
Jihong ZHOU, Qiuqi Ruan
"A multiresolution representation of a 3D model is one of
important means for its fast rendering. In this paper we
present an approach to build up an adaptive multiresolution
representation for a point-sampled 3D model directly from
its set of sample points. The binary space partition (BSP) is
used to recursively split a point¨Csampled model according
to the covariance analysis of its sample points. Thus a
model is subdivided along the direction of the greatest
variation, and the subdivision is adaptive to the spatial
distribution of sample points. A multiresolution hierarchy
based on bounding spheres is constructed for a model from
its subdivision. Since a point-sampled model has not any
Tencon 2005
topological information, the k-nearest clustering method is
adopted to find a local neighborhood for each sample point,
and a surface normal at each sample point is estimated by
fitting a tangent plane in its neighborhood. We construct
adaptive multiresolution hierarchies for several point-
sampled models and display them based on the point-
based rendering. Experimental results show this approach
is efficient for rendering complex point-based 3D models."

Enhancement of Digital Images Using Stochastic
Resonance
Rajib Jha, Prabir Kumar Biswas, B. N. Chatterji
"In certain non-linear dynamical systems, the addition of
noise can assist the detection of a signal. In general, noise
is always seen as deteriorating the system performance
very effectively and is therefore normally considered as a
nuisance. However, in certain non-linear systems including
non-linear signal and image processing, the presence of
noise can in fact enhance the weak signal strength or the
low contrast images. This phenomenon is termed stochastic
resonance. In this paper, we present a novel approach for
contrast enhancement of low contrast image, which
outperforms the other image enhancement techniques.
Block diagram of our algorithm for stochastic resonance
and derivation of threshold equations to be used in image
contrast enhancement is also presented in this paper. The
result of this processing yields a contrast-enhanced image
with better visualizibility, no blocking artifacts and no spot in
an image. Results of our methods are compared with the
enhancement method based on histogram equalization and
wavelet transform."

Restoration of Non-Uniformly Warped Images
Using a Typical Frame as Prototype
Murat Tahtali, Donald Fraser, Andrew Lambert
"When imaging through the atmosphere, the resulting
image also contains a combination of non-uniform blurring
and random shifting of each point. We are proposing in this
paper an alternative and potentially more accurate method
of restoring the geometry, which is better suited to real-time.
In the absence of a truth image to estimate the warping, the
established method of obtaining this prototype is by
averaging a large number of individual frames. Geometric
accuracy is achieved at the expense of spatial resolution.
As an alternative, we are proposing to use one of the
frames. Once the warping functions in terms of shifts are
obtained, subtracting their respective average from the
individual shifts will give the shifts required to restore each
frame. In this process, there is no degradation in the spatial
resolution of the prototype; therefore a more accurate
estimation of the warping functions can be expected."

Software Reliability Modeling with Weibull-type
Testing-Effort and Multiple Change-Points
Chu-Ti Lin, Chin-Yu Huang
"Software reliability is defined as the probability of failure-
free software operation for a specified period of time in a
specified environment. Over the past 30 years, many
software reliability growth models (SRGMs) have been
proposed for estimation of reliability growth of products
during software development processes. SRGMs proposed
in the literature took into consideration the amount of
testing-effort spent on software testing which can be
depicted as a Weibull-type curve. However, in reality, the
consumption rate of testing-effort expenditures may not be
a constant and could be changed at some time points.
Therefore, in this paper, we will incorporate the concept of
multiple change-points into the Weibull-type testing-effort
function. New model is proposed and the applicability of
proposed model is demonstrated through two real data
sets. The experimental results show that this model has a
fairly accurate prediction capability."

different chirp signals to represent message at the

MCSS applied to UWA communication: good performance
against multi-path interference and channel fading, higher

Intelligent Classification of Power Quality
Disturbances in a Distribution Network
Bijaya Panigrahi, Sukumar Mishra
"This paper presents a new approach for power quality
analysis using a phase corrected wavelet transform
(PCWT) known as S - Transform. The local spectral
information of the wavelet transform can, with slight
modification, be used to perform local cross-spectral
analysis with very good time resolution. The phase
correction absolutely references the phase of the wavelet
transform to the zero time point, thus assuring that the
amplitude peaks are regions of stationary phase. The
excellent time frequency resolution characteristic of the
PCWT makes it an attractive candidate for analysis of
power system disturbance signals. Several power quality
problems are analyzed using PCWT and it clearly
demonstrates the advantages of PCWT in detecting,
localizing and classifying the power quality problems. The
features extracted by using PCWT are trained by a radial

analyze and evaluate it. The monitors will record huge data
during disturbance. It is inconvenient for data storage and
transmission. Compression of power quality disturbance
data will save storage space efficiently and accelerate
transmission speed. This paper proposes energy threshold
method based on wavelet transform, and then integrates
adaptive arithmetic encoding to compress disturbance data.
The compression ratio is improved and performance is
better. Four typical power quality disturbances including

Kutluyil Dogancay
"This paper presents low-complexity blind adaptive
nonlinear compensation algorithms for bandlimited signals.
The new algorithms utilize highpass filtering to extract the
out-of-band signal energy caused by nonlinear distortion. A
least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm and its normalized
version are derived based on minimization of the square of
the extracted out-of-band signal without access to the
original input signal or prior knowledge of the nonlinearity.
In this sense the developed algorithms are ""blind"" and
only require prior knowledge of the signal bandwidth. Unlike
the $P$th-order power series inverse, the proposed
nonlinear compensation method is not affected adversely
by large input amplitudes. The effectiveness of the online
algorithms is illustrated with several simulation examples."

A new interpolation method for channel

"Pilot-aided channel estimation of OFDM systems mostly
needs an interpolation technique to estimate the estimates
of channel response on non-piloted subcarriers. Much

however, the performance of which is limited by either the
number or the position of pilot subcarriers, such as cubic
spline interpolation and DFT-based method. We propose a
new interpolation method derived from singular value

Low-Complexity Diversity Enhanced OFDM for
Wireless Communications
Kanagaratnam Sathananthan, Chandra Athaudage
"We propose a low complexity frequency diversity
technique for OFDM to improve its error performance in a
frequency-selective wireless channel. Recently, linear
precoding has been proposed to achieve frequency
diversity (multipath diversity) in OFDM, which overcomes
the problem of channel nulls (deep fades in frequency-
domain). However, currently reported precoding techniques
for OFDM have high computational complexity due to
associated maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding or pseudo-
inverse of large matrices (linear decoding). In the proposed
diversity enhanced-OFDM (DE-OFDM), the decoding
complexity is minimal as maximum ratio combining (MRC)
is incorporated at the receiver to generate a decision
variable for each repeatedly transmitted symbol over
multiple subcarriers. Moreover, we show that DE-OFDM
does not cause any effective data rate (throughput) loss as
DE-OFDM using a higher-order modulation scheme (thus
the same data rate as conventional OFDM) can provide a
better error performance. Both analytical and simulation
results are provided to demonstrate the efficiency of DE-
OFDM in achieving frequency diversity benefit with low
receiver complexity in multipath (frequency-selective)
channels. DE-OFDM also outperforms the previously
proposed ICI selfcancellation schemes in a frequency-
selective fading channel with small frequency offset error."

A Novel Wavelet Packet Transform Based
Feature Extraction Algorithm For Image Texture
Classification
Selvan Srinivasan, Ramakrishnan Srinivasan
A novel algorithm for extracting features of image textures
to facilitate better classification is described. The algorithm
uses energy matrices at all subbands of the wavelet packet
transform coefficients to extract the feature vector. The size
of feature vector is reduced by taking the weighted average
of the feature vectors at all subbands. The classification is
performed by Euclidean classifier. The experimental results
are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the
proposed algorithm. The classification rate of the proposed
algorithm is found to be better than conventional wavelet
packet signature (WPS) algorithm.

Fuzzy Logic Based Error Concealment Algorithm
for H.264 Video Transmission
Pei-Jun Lee, Ming-Long Lin
"In this paper, a new error concealment algorithm is
proposed for the coding standard H.264. The algorithm
consists of a block size determination step to determine the
size type of the lost block and a motion vector recovery step
to find the lost motion vector. The former step uses fuzzy
logic method to select the size type of the lost block from
the current frame. In the latter step, the optimal motion
vector for the lost block is chosen from multiple previous
reference frames with the minimum value of the side match
distortion. The proposed algorithm determines the most
correct mode for the lost block, and save much more
computation time for motion vector recovery. Experimental
results show that the proposed algorithm achieves 0.5~3 dB
improvement than conventional VM method."

Liqiong Tang, Kieran Orchard, Alex Wishart

to a helicopter. It is fundamentally unstable and with highly
nonlinear dynamics. A control system is required to control,
compensate, and balance the craft when there is a change
on load capacities, disturbances, and environmental
conditions. A fuzzy logic control system based on a

Prediction on Urban street by Fuzzy Logic
Models
SUPACHAI PHAIBOON
"This paper proposes a method to model the path loss
characteristics on an urban street in microwave band. We
applied the concept of fuzzy logic to predict an unknown
path loss from a set of know path loss. The input fuzzy sets
were classified into five sets namely, distance between
transmitter and receiver, frequency, time of day,
transmitting antenna height and receiving antenna height.
These inputs are then inferenced into output path loss via
linguistic rules which were trained by measurement. To
check the proposed model, we compared the fuzzy
prediction with an another measurement. The results shown
that the fuzzy logic models provided a better prediction."
Using HGA Fuzzy Supervisory PI Controllers

"In this paper, an optimum fuzzy supervisory PI controller
using hierarchical genetic algorithms is developed and
implemented for controlling the top and bottom product
quality of a nonlinear, multi-input multi-output binary
distillation column when the disturbance enters the column
in the form of the changes in feed flow rate. Two
conventional PI controllers, one for the bottom product
composition and another for the top product composition,
are used together in the control scheme. Hierarchical
genetic algorithms are used to derive the optimal number
and shape of membership functions and fuzzy rules of a

"This paper presents the design of a controller for the
maximum power point tracking of a grid-connected

is used in the system to deliver the output from the solar
array to DC-AC inverter, and feed the power into the AC

the tracking algorithm. The duty ratio for the operation of the
boost converter is optimally adjusted in such a way that the
maximum power point, which normally varies according to
the environment, can be achieved. We demonstrate via the

An Architecture for Automated Network Control
of QoS over Consumer Broadband Links
Lawrence Stewart, Grenville Armitage, Philip Branch,
Sebastian Zander
"This paper proposes a novel architecture for meeting
Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of real-time traffic
across consumer broadband links. In our approach to
network QoS provision, QoS signalling is moved from the
application layer to the network layer. Network servers
automatically identify traffic that might benefit from QoS and
then trigger the provisioning of QoS by signalling network
elements such as access routers. This approach removes
the need for the application to signal to the network its
explicit QoS requirements, making applications easier to
develop and more portable. It also enables QoS provision
for legacy applications for which there is limited opportunity
to include explicit end-host signalling protocols. The paper
develops the architecture required to realize the approach
and discusses the underlying techniques."

"We propose a packet scheduling algorithm for an efficient
transmission in a residential gateway used in the home
network. The packet scheduling algorithm is modeled by the
hybrid method that is a QoS technique based on the
parameterized QoS method and the prioritized QoS
method. We applied the prioritized QoS technique to
Earliest Deadline First scheme. We proposed a QoS
parameter mapping scheme that can be used in the home
network using the heterogeneous access technology. We
also proposed the fairness scheme for IEEE 1394. The
access technologies such as IEEE 802.11 WLAN, IEEE
1394, and Ethernet are considered for the QoS algorithm
mapping scheme. Finally, we evaluate the performance of
the proposed QoS provisioning technique by using the
simulation. The simulation results show that the proposed

Mobility Prediction with Direction Tracking on

Klangjai Sithitavorn, Bin Qiu
"Mobility prediction is one the most efficient techniques
used to calculate lifetime estimation of wireless links (link
lifetime-LLT) for a more reliable path selection. To
incorporate a mobility prediction model into ad hoc routing
protocols, an updating scheme should be used to maintain
prediction accuracy especially for those source initiated on-
demand routing protocols where LLT values are
continuously changing after the route discovery phase. In
this paper, a light-weight direction tracking scheme is
introduced to enhance performance of the mobility
prediction based routing by reassuring the accuracy of LLT
used for path selection process. The simulation results
show an improvement in terms of average packet latency
with minimum impact on number of control messages

Bluetooth Network Security: A New Approach to
Secure Scatternet Formation
Sanif Sentosa Liong, Payam Mamaani Barnaghi
"The Bluetooth technology, designed and developed by the
Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), which comprises of
Piconet and Scatternet. Scatternet is a collection of several
piconets where each piconet consists of at least two
devices in different roles (i.e. master and slave). There are
various protocols for Bluetooth scatternet formation. In this
paper, we study some of the common formation protocols
such as BlueTrees, BlueNet, and BlueStars. Due to the
open-air media, higher security mechanisms are needed to
provide secure communication among the nodes in the
scatternet. To provide a secure communication between
two parties, encryption mechanisms are used, which require
secret key for every pair. The focus of the suggested
method is the scatternet communication security and in
particular the secret key exchange. In this paper, we
propose a mechanism for the key agreement procedure
through a secure scatternet formation protocol."

"In this Paper suggests the method to implement PUSH
Service in 2.5Generation mobile device which can't support
voice and data service simultaneously. And If this PUSH
Service is implemented and serviced well, the suggested
available security protocol can be implemented using
current common algorithm. The PUSH Service use
SMS(short message service) in order to connect to wired
network in off-line client device to data communication.
After receiving SMS message, client device process the

protocol considering feature of PUSH Service and mobile

transmission method using two channels of SMS and data.
In order to implement the security protocol, This Paper uses
SEED and MD5 algorithm with fast process time and little
memory space, and also uses RSA which has some
features of certification and encryption for safe security
protocol. Because of using two-way method, suggested
security protocol can support safe transmission on each

Transparent IP layer Interception on Enterprise
802.11b/g Networks
Warren Harrop, Grenville Armitage
"Many enterprise sites utilise 802.11b/g technology to
create an untrusted access network sitting outside their
protected institutional IP network, with internal access
allowed only through an IP-layer virtual private network
(VPN) gateway. Often such networks do not implement link
layer security because of the known weaknesses of the
IEEE's wired equivalent privacy (WEP). This results in a
wireless network on which arbitrary people can establish
themselves as hosts with arbitrary IP addresses. Although
the enterprise IP network is protected by the VPN gateway,
users of the wireless network can become victims of
unscrupulous (or accidental) interception of their IP
communication. Common Windows laptop (mis-)
configurations often try and establish communications
through a default gateway on the 192.168/16 network.
Anyone could configure another host as this default
gateway on the enterprise 802.11b/g network, and thus
hijack a visitor's network connection without the visitor even
realising. In this paper we test and confirm the plausibility of
this attack in a University wireless LAN and present results
from real world data confirming the existence of users
failing to reconfigure their visiting host and attempting to
connect via possible malicious gateways."

throughput and MAC delay under normal traffic condition.
We also present an analytical model for the enhanced

results, the performance of the enhanced GDCF is nearly

more computational complexity and maintain the quality of

Optimizing Network Control Traffic in Resource
Constrained MANETs
Muhammad Iqbal
"The exchange of Network State Beacons (NSBs) is crucial
to monitoring the dynamic state of MANETs like sensor
networks. The rate of beacon exchange (FX) and the
network state define both the time and nature of a proactive
action to reconfigure the network in order to combat
network performance degradation at a time of crisis. It is
thus essential to select the FX within optimized bounds, so
that minimal control traffic is incurred due to state
maintenance and reconfiguration activities. This paper
presents a novel distributed model that selects optimized
bounds for FX selection and adapts dynamically to the load
profile of the network for energy efficient monitoring and
proactive reconfiguration."

Anawach Sangswang
This paper focuses on the quantification of existing random
noise in a switching dc-dc boost converter. Theoretical
background regarding to the probability density of random
noise is provided. An experimental study is performed to
measure and characterize random noise on system
parameters of a boost converter. The converter analyzed is
the commonly used current-mode controlled boost
converter. Experimental results show that the
characteristics of random noise in the converter are
gaussian distributed. The quantified results of uncertainties
and the probability density are included in the dynamics of
the converter as load and switching time uncertainties. This
observation introduces the possibility of sensitivity analysis
at a design stage in which more robust design can be
achieved.

Performance Evaluation of CDMA Systems Based
on User Location
Seung Sik Choi
"In order to support high data-rate service in an integrated
CDMA system, it is required to allocate resources for data
users with high spectral efficiency. In this paper, we analyze
the performance of two resource allocation schemes such
as a simultaneous resource allocation (SRA) scheme and a
throughput maximization(TM) scheme. In the throughput
maximization scheme, the throughput of data users can be
maximized when one among data users is allowed to
transmit information at any given time. To apply this
scheme to an voice/data CDMA system, resources are first
allocated to voice users and then residual resources are
allocated to data users based on the throughput
maximization strategy. For more practical approach, the
transmission power of mobile stations is assumed to be
limited. Due to this assumption, the performance of two
resource allocation schemes is varied according to the
location of mobile stations. We also show the performance
under perfect power control and imperfect power control. In
order to verify the analysis results, we perform the
simulation under the same environment. Simulation and
analysis results show that the TM scheme has higher
throughput than the SRA scheme under the conditions that
the mobile is located in a limited boundary and the variation
of E_b/N_ois minimized."

by exploiting two transconductors with cross coupled

commutating CMOS switches. The architecture can operate
at low supply voltage by the use of switches exclusively
connected to supply voltages. Realized in 0.18mm CMOS
technology and operating from 1.8V power supply, the
design consumes 3mW of power. The mixer exhibits a third
order input intercept point (IIP3) of better than 17dBm. An

Hard Real Time Communication Using the

Tarek GUESMI
"Distributed computer control in complex embedded
systems oversees diverse electronic control units
connecting hundreds or thousands of analogue and digital
sensors and actuators. These systems are also called today
sensors networks. In an emrging class of open distributed
real time and embedded (DRE) systems with stringent but

QoS parameters and enforce task QoS requirements
across multiple endsystems in a way that is simultaneously

an inter-ORB protocol, witch make efficient use of the
advantages of Controller Area Network (CAN) and maps
the CAN priorities to a band of CORBA priorities. Our
definition of this protocol is bound closely to the features of
RT-CORBA, the OMG Data Acquisition from Industrial

Dynamically Authorized Role-Based Access
Control for Grid Applications
Hanbing Yao
"Grid computing is concerned with the sharing and
coordinated use of diverse resources in distributed ""virtual

domain nature of these environments introduces
challenging security issues that demand new technical
approaches. Despite the recent advances in access control
approaches applicable to Grid computing, there remain
issues that impede the development of effective access
control models for Grid applications. Amongst them are the
lack of context-based models for access control, and
reliance on identity or capability-based access control
schemes. In this paper, we present an access control
scheme that resolve these issues, and propose a Dynamic
Role and Context-Based Access Control (RCBAC)
framework which extends the RBAC with context
constraints. The RCBAC mechanisms dynamically grant

Impact of IP Traffic on DPSK WDM Systems
Xuetian Huang, Gang Chen
"Based on analytical method, we show that when IP traffic
is loaded directly over differential phase shift keying (DPSK)
wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) systems with
perfect dispersion compensation, the burstiness of IP
packets has significant effects on the cross-phase
modulation (XPM) induced nonlinear phase noise, and
therefore exerts an influence on the packet-error probability
performance of the systems. We show that a small IP traffic
can reduce the XPM-induced nonlinear phase noise and
therefore is beneficial for a low packet-error probability."

Comparing different approaches to the use of
DiffServ on the Internet
Don McNickle, Ronald Addie
"The existing Internet appears to be close to providing good
quality service for a very wide range of services, probably
because the TCP protocols aim to achieve, and come close
to achieving, fair queueing, or processor sharing. The
DiffServ architecture aims to do better than this by providing
different performance standards for different classes of
service. The natural way to apply DiffServ is to allocate
classes in accordance with the urgency or priority of the
requests. However, another approach is to use DiffServ to
allocate service classes according to the size of the
requests the concept of ""size"" can be defined in a variety
of ways: total bytes in a flow, rate of a flow, or by a series of
token buckets. We use simple queueing models to
investigate how much improvement in performance could
be obtained by implementing this service discipline, and
whether, as a consequence, it is unnecessary and perhaps
even dangerous to assign classes of service in accordance
with the type of service requested. The results suggest that
shortest job first offers considerable advantages over
simple processor sharing. Thus in spite of the difficulties of
identifying the size of flows it may be worthwhile to consider
how something like shortest job first can be implemented.
On the other hand it appears that priority queue strategies
are risky, in that the marginal advantages gained by those
jobs that benefit from the priority scheme are very small,
and the majority of jobs can expect to suffer worse
response times. In fact random priorities, used here as a
model for priorities based on characteristics not necessarily
dependent on job length, such as urgency, produces almost
the same deterioration in service as a scheme which might
well be expected to be at the lower bound longest job first."

frequently be conducted reasonably satisfactorily over the

Tencon 2005
with defined bounds on packet delay and loss, packet
transfers need to be connection-oriented and the
connections appropriately resourced. A virtual Internet
connection with specified switching procedures, traffic
capacity, and quality outcomes would, in analogy to transfer
capabilities in ATM networks, be a defined Internet transfer
capability. With appropriate transfer capabilities, an IP
network could work with, or take the place of, traditional
STM and ATM networks, as well as well as exceed them in
capability. For instance, IP networking could be superior to
STM and ATM in regard to multimedia communications."

OptiFlow - A Capacity Management Tool
Robert Suryasaputra, Alexander Kist, Richard Harris
"Intra-domain traffic engineering for routing protocols such
as OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) or Intermediate
System-Intermediate System (IS-IS) can be performed by
finding a judicious set of weights to allocate to the links of
the network. Unfortunately, methods proposed in the
literature for finding those weights may require a significant
computational effort. By way of contrast, weight setting
approaches based on Linear Programming can be shown in
this paper to find suitable weights in the order of seconds.
Prior to this time, it was necessary to determine appropriate
weight settings in an off-line mode. From the results
presented in this paper it can be demonstrated that
solutions can be located for this problem in a matter of
seconds. This makes it possible to perform traffic
engineering for short term link overloads in real-time mode.
The performance of this methodology has been verified by
using simulation based on the well-known performance tool,

integrated into an optimisation module of a network capacity

Traffic Aggregation in Hybrid Ring-Star Optical

Goutam Das
"The increasing demand of future Internet traffic requires
optical traffic grooming technology to reduce the complexity
of the network. A network with optical cross connects and
fibers has been considered as one potential architecture to
achieve this goal. The design of this type of architecture
involves determining the number of network components
and the interconnection topology. In this paper we show
that a hybrid ring-star topology and waveband grooming
can help to reduce the network complexity. This helps us to
minimize the number of nodes, and the number of ports
required in each node. We develop an analytical method for
the design of hybrid ring-star topology to reduce the capital

Investigation on the Content Popularity
Distribution under K-Transformation in
Streaming Applications
Yang Zongkai, Tai Wang, Xu Du, Wei Liu, Jiang Yu
"An accurate understanding on the content popularity
distribution of media objects in streaming applications is
required when designing efficient caching algorithms for the
streaming media. However, there is no empirical model to
describe this distribution. Our investigation shows that the
content popularity of a hot streaming media file exhibits a
Zipf-like distribution under K-Transformation, after analyzing
250 hot clips in 2 long-term traces. A specific function is
proposed to describe this phenomenon. This result builds a
foundation for designing intelligent caching algorithms."

Improved Dynamic Multimedia Resource
Adaptation-based Peer-to-Peer Sys-tem through
Locality-based Clustering and Service
Letian Rong, Ian Burnett
"A dynamic P2P architecture based on MPEG-21 was
proposed in our previous work to support resource
adaptation/personalization according to the surround-ing
usage environment and user preferences. In this paper, we
improve the proposed system through two separate but
related modifications. Firstly, peers are clustered according
to registered geographic location information. Secondly,
based on that registered loca-tion information, a locality-
based service is introduced which allows users to search
services according to their geographic locations. The
service complements the proposed P2P architecture by
encouraging service providers to increase the uptime of
their devices and hence provide the spare computer power
for active adaptation of resources for low-end peers.
Simulation results show that the proposed approach
reduces download time and network delays while increasing
resource availability and download speed in the net-work."

Design and Implementation of Stream
Partitioning Strategies in a Distributed
Multimedia System
Xiaorong Li, Bharadwaj Veeravalli
"In this paper, we address the issue of rendering network-
based multimedia services under the guarantee of access
delay. We propose a novel strategy, referred to as Window-
assisted Video Partitioning (WAVP), for rendering cost-
effective multimedia services. To minimize the service cost
and maximize the number of requests that can be
successfully served under resources constraints (cache
capacity and link bandwidth), our WAVP strategy partitions
videos into multiple portions and delivers them by adaptive
schedule windows. We precisely implement our work for
testing in real-life situation, and analyze the performance
under several influencing parameters such as the
availability of link bandwidth, cache capacity, and the bound
of clients' access delay. Our results show that the proposed
method can significantly reduce the service cost and
achieve a high acceptance ratio under the constraints of
network resources."

DHT Based Collaborative Multimedia Streaming
and Caching Service
Zuoning Yin, Hai Jin
"Multimedia streaming and video on demand (VoD)
services are among those hottest applications over the
Internet. Traditional client/server pattern is stumbled due to
the lack of scalability and limitation of service capacity.
Peer-to-Peer paradigm has been introduced to solve these
issues. The key idea is that peers not only receive
multimedia stream but also serve multimedia data to others.
In this paper, we present a novel scheme that builds a
multimedia streaming and caching service on a distributed
hash table (DHT) based overlay. We adopt DHT to
establish a decentralized caching service. The location
information of cached segments is distributed among
different peers and the information about segments from the
same video is organized into an application-level multicast
group. We also propose a cache replace algorithm on each
peer. In our simulation, our design achieves good scalability
with a low service reject rate. Besides, good load balance is
also achieved as well as desired quality-of-service."

Evaluation of FAST TCP in Low-Speed DOCSIS-
based Access Network
Lachlan Andrew, Irena Atov, David Kennedy, Bartek
Wydrowski
"There is strong evidence that the efficiency of the Internet
is limited by its existing TCP congestion control system. A
replacement, FAST, has been shown to improve
performance in high-speed networks. In order to achieve
widespread acceptance and standardisation, it must also be
tested in environments more typical of the existing Internet.
This paper experimentally evaluates the performance of
FAST over a typical access link, with bandwidths of around
0.5-3\,Mbps. Links both using the DOCSIS cable modem
medium access control (MAC) protocol and simple low rate
links were investigated. It is shown that the random delay
introduced by MAC protocol of the cable modem does not
appear to interfere significantly with FAST's ability to set the
congestion window size to its target. However, the cable
modem does appear to introduce consistent additional
delays when the link is highly, but not fully, utilised. These
unexplained delays mean that a larger congestion window
is required, and must be taken into account when setting
FAST's parameters, notably the target queue size, alpha."

"When allocating rates in wireless multi-hop networks, one
difficulty comes from the so-called MAC (media access

proposes a price-based max-min fair rate allocation
scheme. Unlike existing schemes, our scheme is based on
the MaxNet principle using the maximum price of all nodes
along a transmission path to control the flows rate. Through
theoretical analyses and simulation results, we show that

The Design and Implementation of a WSRF-
Compliant Information Service on Wireless Grids
Jianghu Yang, Gegang Peng, Changlai Huang, Ming

"On wireless grids users and resource providers are not
only mobile, but also nomadic. Information services on
wireless grids have special requirements. Resource
information has to be updated when users and resource
providers arrive and depart frequently. Meanwhile,
information services are also mobile, so the clients and
information sources should dynamically detect the
existence and departure of information services. Information
services on wireless girds may be not as powerful as those
on wired grids, so information services are required to be
decentralized and light-weighted. In this paper we present a
WSRF-compliant and P2P based information service
architecture to meet the special requirements on wireless
grids, and implement the architecture on Globus 4. We
extend the function of MDS4 to support wireless grid
resource discovery, query and monitoring. P2P mechanism
is employed to integrate information services to provide
grid-wide resource information. The clients and information
sources dynamically probe nearest information services to

A new Modulation Scheme for GSM EDGE
Ari Viinikainen, Jarkko Vuori, Fei Liu
"The GSM system has evolved to the GSM EDGE system
which increases the data rate with new modulation and
coding schemes. This increase is achieved by improving
the spectral efficiency of the system at the expense of
power efficiency. In this paper, we propose the use of a
spectral and power efficient modulation scheme, a
combination of frequency and phase modulation
\emph{N}FSK/\emph{L}PSK, to further increase the data
rate of the current GSM EDGE system. We show that by
using the current EDGE channel coding and a 2FSK/8PSK
modulation scheme the data rate can be increased 33 \%
with just 2 dB degradation in $E_b/N_0$ ratio with equal bit
error rate in the AWGN channel."

(PEWB) giving high precision signal processing interface is
proposed. The flexibility of the proposed system in multipath
channel environments is acquired with the pulse and bit
repetition method. To analyze the bit error rate (BER)
performance of this proposed system, a noise model in
receiver is derived with commonly used random variable
distribution, chi-square. BER of 10-5 under the line-of-sight

Notable amongst such efforts is the Generalized RAKE
(based on ML criterion) and the RAKE receiver based on

equivalent.

Yu-Sun Liu, Chun-Chih Yeh
"Bit-interleaving is generally believed to be an effective
measure when convolutional codes and turbo codes are
employed with $M$-ary signaling. It is shown in this paper
that bit-interleaving should not be blithely employed in fast
FH/SSMA systems with $M$-ary FSK. Both theoretical
upper bounds and simulation results show that bit-
interleaving coded sequences before mapping increases
the bit error rates for convolutional codes, except when bit
error rates is very small. Simulation results also show that
for turbo codes, both bit-interleaving data sequences in
encoders and bit-interleaving coded sequences before
mapping drastically degrade the performance of the
system."

signal quality is often degraded due to multipath fading.
However, a demand for a high-data-rate and a large
capacity is growing even in the mobile communication. In
this paper, to achieve the higher data-rate mobile
communication, we propose a turbo equalization with
multilevel block-coded modulation (BCM). The turbo
equalization has an excellent ability of equalization and the
BCM can comparatively make the transmission rate high
and the calculation cost low. We combine these techniques
and investigate the transmission characteristics."

Instead of short time FFT algorithm, we have adopted real-
time sweep spectral extraction algorithm to reduce large
memory usage. By fixing the sweep frequency range of
local oscillator and the center frequency of Finite Impulse
Response (FIR) filter, we can obtain more effective usage
of FPGA hardware resource and stable spectrum analysis
performance. The time-frequency scaling algorithm has
been used to guarantee the measurement of wide
frequency range (sub-Hz to MHz) for arbitrary input time-
varying signal. The high speed FPGA performance enables
us to build up a three dimension time-frequency
spectrogram for audio signal by accumulating the spectral
data against the evolution time."

A Novel Technique for Merging of Multisensor

Jawed Qumar, Ram Pachori
"We present a novel method for merging of images from
different sensors or defocussed images from same sensor.
In purposed method Discrete Multiwavelet transform
(DMWT) has been used for decomposition. The advantages
of DMWT is its sensitivity to different kinds of object
features in images and it does precise image analysis than
wavelet multiresolution analysis. The purposed algorithm
assumed the images are registered from different sources.
This has become of interest due to increasing number of
sensors in various applications such as medical,
surveillance, remote sensing. Fusion is a technique of
extracting best of inputs and conveying to the output.
Fusion is achieved through the formation of fused pyramid
with the DMWT coefficients from the decomposed pyramids
of the source images. Coefficients are combined based on
importance of the coefficient in the bands. The fused image
is obtained through DMWT reconstruction process. Results
obtained from purposed method significantly reduces

The Application of Wavelet and Feature Vectors
to ECG Signals
Aya Matsuyama, Mirjam Jonkman
"The Electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most
commonly known biological signals, which are traditionally
analyzed in the time-domain by skilled physicians.
However, pathological conditions may not always be
obvious in the original time-domain signal. Fourier analysis
transforms signals into frequency domain, but has the
disadvantage that time characteristics will become
unobvious. Wavelet analysis, which provides both time and
frequency information, can overcome this limitation. In this
paper, Arrhythmia ECG signals were examined. There were
two stages in analyzing ECG signals: feature extraction and
feature classification. To extract features from ECG signals,
wavelet decomposition was first applied and feature vectors
of normalized energy and entropy were constructed. Vector
quantisation technique was applied to these feature vectors
to classify signals. The results showed that Normal Sinus
Rhythm ECGs and Arrhythmia ECGs composed different
clusters."

A Novel Approach to Interest Point Detection
Based on Phase Congruency
Changzhu Wu, Qing Wang
"In the paper, a novel method of interest points detection
based on phase congruency by using Log-Gabor wavelets
is proposed. Points of maximal phase congruency
correspond to all the different types of 2D features in an
image, including gray-level corners, line terminations, and a
variety of junctions within lines. Phase congruency is a
dimensionless measure invariant to the changes in image
brightness or contrast, hence it allows the use of universal
threshold values that can be applied over wide classes of
images. Moreover, different kinds of interest points can be
detected since it does not make any assumption on the
geometric structure of interest points in the proposed
method. Experimental results on synthetic and natural
scene images have shown that accuracy of detection and
localization of interest points can be achieved using the
proposed approach."

Determine Calibration Parameters with Satisfied
Constraints for Coplanar Camera Calibration
Kaset Sirisantisamrid, Takenobu Matsuura, Kitti
Tiraseth
"Coplanar camera calibration is the process of determining
a set of calibration parameters that describe the mapping
between 2D control points and 2D image coordinates.
However, the optimal solution for coplanar calibration can
be obtained by solving a set of constrained optimization
problem. This paper presents a technique to determine the
calibration parameters for coplanar calibration, where a set
of orthogonality constraints is fully satisfied. The solving of
camera calibration consists of two steps. The first step is an
estimating of calibration parameters using a closed form
solution based on distortion free. In the second step, the
parameters estimated in first step are improved iteratively
by nonlinear optimization method, where the constraints are
enforced during optimization process. The computing of
parameters is directly performed on computer image array
by assuming that scale factor is one. Consequently, the
image center can be simultaneously computed with other
parameters. The proposed technique is tested with a
synthetic image that known distortion. The result shows that
the proposed technique gives sufficient accuracy."

Scalable multiresolution Image Segmentation
and Its Application in Video Object Extraction
Algorithm
Fardin Akhlaghian Tab
"This paper presents a novel multiresolution image
segmentation method based on the discrete wavelet
transform and Markov Random Field (MRF) modelling. A
major contribution of this work is to add spatial scalability to
the segmentation algorithm producing the same
segmentation pattern at different resolutions. This property
makes it applicable for scalable object-based wavelet
coding. The correlation between different resolutions of
pyramid is considered by a multiresolution analysis which is
incorporated into the objective function of the MRF
segmentation algorithm. Allowing for smoothness terms in
the objective function at different resolutions improves
border smoothness and creates visually more pleasing
objects/regions, particularly at lower resolutions where
downsampling distortions are more visible. Application of
the spatial segmentation in video segmentation, compared
to traditional image/video object extraction algorithms,
produces more visually pleasing shape masks at different
resolutions which is applicable for object based video
wavelet coding. Moreover it allows for larger motion, better
noise tolerance and less computational complexity. In
addition to spatial scalability, the proposed algorithm
outperforms the standard image/video segmentation
algorithms, in both objective and subjective tests."

incorporating the vision model into the decoding stage of
the JPEG2000 verification model (VM8) with 2 variants of

"In the last few years, computer vision research has had an

greatly reduced owing to avoiding the expensive inverse
DCT computation required to convert values from frequency
domain to the pixel domain In this paper, we present a
method of detecting Regions of Interests (ROIS) in DCT

low-level features of frames and combining feature maps
into a unique saliency map. We use MPEG4 (Xvid) video

State-Space Least Mean Square with Adaptive

Mohammad Malik, Muhammad Salman
"In this paper, we present state-space least mean square
(SSLMS) algorithm with adaptive memory. SSLMS
incorporates linear time-varying state-space model of the
underlying environment. Therefore, it exhibits a marked
improvement in tracking performance over the standard
LMS and its known variants. Overall performance of
SSLMS, however, depends on model uncertainty, presence
of external disturbances, time-varying nature of the
observed signal and nonstationary behavior of the
observation noise. The step size parameter plays an
important role in this context. However, because of lack of
prior information of the uncertainties, it is difficult to suggest
an optimum value of the step size parameter beforehand.
As a logical approach to such problems, the step size
parameter is iteratively tuned by stochastic gradient method
so as to minimize the mean square value of the prediction

Mohammad Reza Sayyah Jahromi, Lal Godara
Generalized sidelobe canceler is an alternative structure to

receive the signal from the look direction and a set of (L-1)
auxiliary beams for an L element array. The weighted sum
of these beams is used to minimize the noise in the main
beam requiring the inverse of a matrix of the order of (L-

of the auxiliary beams in parallel requiring the inverse of a
matrix of the order of (L-1) and thus reducing the
computational cost substantially. It is shown that the
proposed method is more robust to look direction errors

Ubiquitous computing and software mobile agents are both

share many ideas that can be mutually exchanged. As the
two fields advance they amusingly congregate. The
convergence allows faster progress since many shared

good performance for both of the proposed models;
however the hierarchical algorithm shows better results
based on some of the introduced factors."

Macroaction Synthesis for Agent Systems
Hiroaki Ueda, Takeshi Naraki, Kazunori Hosoda,
Kenichi Takahashi, Tetsuhiro Miyahara
"We present methods to synthesize macroactions for agent
environments and the methods are combined with SOS
algorithm that learns rules for agent's behavior using
reinforcement learning and evolutionary computation. To
acquire useful macroactions, our methods use some kinds
of numerical values evaluated in performing SOS algorithm,
e.g. fitness values of actions or the number of transitions
between rules. New macroactions generated by our
methods are fed back to SOS algorithm for learning rules.
By repeating macroaction synthesis and learning rules
alternately, rules for agent's behavior are acquired. The
methods shown here have been implemented and some
experimental results have been shown."

Layered Multicast: A Study of Loss Event Rate
Estimation in a Low Level of Statistical
Multiplexing
Osman Ghazali, Suhaidi Hassan
"Loss event rate is the main parameter of TCP-equation
model. In a low level of statistical multiplexing packet
dropped pattern at the bottleneck link is dependent on the
behaviour of any flow that compete for the network
resource. Since TCP is the dominant protocol of the
Internet, the behaviour of other protocols is greatly affected
by the volatility of TCP flows. In layered multicast
communication, the protocols inability to synchronise packet
sequence number across multicast layers exaggerate this
problem. This results in oscillatory loss event rate
estimation. Two-step loss event rate filtering has been
proposed to reduce the volatility of loss event rate filtering.
This paper presents a comparative study of loss event rate
estimation techniques for layered multicast protocol that has
been conducted in a low level of statistical multiplexing."

Equalization of Time Variant Multipath Channels
Using Channel Estimation Based Classification
Techniques
Yoshihiro Tsutsumi, Yusuke Tsuda, Tetsuya
Shimamura
"For the purpose of equalization of rapidly time variant
multipath channels, we derive novel adaptation schemes
based on the least mean square (LMS) algorithm. In two
methods proposed in this paper, instead of a coefficient
vector, a coefficient matrix is prepared for a linear
transversal equalizer(LTE). Based on the estimated channel
impulse response, the equalizer coefficients are selected
and updated by the LMS algorithm. Computer simulation
results show that with a small increase of computation, the
proposed methods outperform the amplitude banded LMS
equalizer recently addressed in high fade rate conditions."

properties such as the level-crossing rate (LCR), the

General Calculation Formula on the Influence of
Extraction Steam Pressure Loss on Thermal
Economy of Unit
Zhang Xuelei
"Extraction steam pressure loss will occur as extraction
steam flows through the pipe and the heater. The thermal
economy of the unit is decreased by the occurrence of
extraction steam pressure loss. Based on the basic
equations of thermodynamic system, the influence of drain
water enthalpy on thermal efficiency of unit is calculated in
the paper, and the law of formulas is found. It is proved by
the paper work that the influence of extraction steam
pressure loss on thermal economy is actually the
superposition of the influence of heater outlet water
enthalpy and drain water enthalpy on thermal economy.
Based on the paper work, the influence of extraction steam
pressure loss on thermal economy of unit is built. The
method discussed in the paper is not only prone to be used,
but suitable for computer program. The method possesses
the universal property. The general calculation formula is
proved to be right by an application example."

"Pervasive/ubiquitous computing is considered as the
fourth-generation of computing and the next generation of
IT technology. As such an important computing technology,
what its computing paradigm should be? For the present
network computing, its computing paradigms such as client-

Reliability and Sensitivity Analysis of Embedded
Systems with Modular Dynamic Fault Trees
Hsiang-Kai Lo, Chin-Yu Huang, Yung-Ruei Chang
"Fault trees theories have been used in years because they
can easily provide a concise representation of failure
behavior of general non-repairable fault-tolerant systems.
But the defect of traditional fault trees is lack of accuracy
when modeling dynamic failure behavior of certain systems
with fault-recovery process. A solution to this problem is
called behavioral decomposition. A system will be divided
into several dynamic or static modules, and each module
can be further analyzed using BDD or Markov Chains
separately. In this paper, we will show a decomposition
scheme that independent subtrees of a dynamic module are
detected and solved hierarchically for saving computation
time of solving Markov Chains without losing unacceptable
accuracy when assessing components sensitivities. In the
end, we present our analyzing software toolkit that
implements our enhanced methodology."

"With the advance of micro-electronic and wireless

up gradients for delivering queries or data reports by
flooding the networks consumes a great quantity of energy
especially for a large scale sensor networks. In this paper,
we propose an energy efficient data query architecture. It
conserves energy by avoiding full network flooding in

A database (DB) parallel processing for
computational physics
Dixon Kwok
"To distribute a parallel process to several computer boxes
through a computational Grid, there are three fundamental
problems. They may be running on different platforms, for
example, WinXP, Linux, etc. The process itself can be
written in different programming languages, such as Fortran
90 (an older version was Fortran 77), Ansi C, C++, and
Java 2 (very common in Internet application). The last but
not the least, if we distribute the lower level component of
the process, for example, in machine codes it is not
guaranteed that they will work on different CPU
architectures such as 32bit CPU and 64 bit CPU. We, here,
propose a simple parallel processing system that can be
cross-platforms (different operating systems), cross-
languages/compilers (C++, Java, etc), and cross-machines
(32bit and 64bit CPUs, etc) by using a database as an
interface of sharing and transferring information. A separate
databases table is created to synchronize the operations
between the two computers. The parallel processing system
was successfully tested by running a plasma simulation in
two WinXP computers."

A Self-Distributing Software Environment with
Binary Interception for Multi-Projector Displays
Naoki Hashimoto, Yoshihiko Ishida, Makoto Sato
"In immersive projection displays which surround users with
high resolution images, a PC-Cluster is often used for
realistic and real-time image generation. However, it is quite
troublesome to develop applications which support parallel
processing on the PC-Cluster. It is also difficult to acquire
enough rendering performance because of the limited
bandwidth of the PC-Cluster. Therefore, in this paper, we
propose a self-distributing software environment for multi-
projector displays. This environment achieves minimum
data communication based on a master-slave model. The
communication mechanism is automatically applied to
target applications by intercepting APIs. Hence we can use
existent applications on the multi-projector displays without
any additional modifications."

Design Patterns for Image Processing Algorithm
Development on FPGAs
Kim Gribbon, Donald Bailey, Christopher Johnston
"FPGAs are often used as implementation platforms for
real-time image processing applications because their
structure allows them to exploit spatial and temporal
parallelism. Such parallelization is subject to the processing
mode and hardware constraints including limited processing
time, limited access to data and limited resources of the
system. These constraints often force the designer to
reformulate the software algorithm in the process of
mapping it to hardware. To aid in the process this paper
proposes the application of design patterns which embody
experience and through reuse provide tools for solving
particular mapping problems. Issues involved in applying
design patterns in this manner are outlined and discussed."

presents a new high capacity image steganograpic model
based on Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Vector
Quantisation (VQ) and Pseudo Random Number Generator
(PRNG). The proposed new system can embed more

The recovered hiding image has high Peak Signal to Noise

3D Modeling from Using Spiral Cone-Beam
Trajectory
Walita Narkbuakaew
"Tomographic imaging is a technique for exploration of a
cross-section of an inspected object without destruction.
Normally, the input data, known as the projections, are
gathered by repeatedly radiating coherent waveform
through the object in a number of viewpoints, and receiving
by an array of corresponding detector in the opposite
position. In this research, as a replacement of radiographs,
the series of photographs taken around the opaque object
under the ambient light is completely served as the
projections. The process is called photographic tomograph.
In this paper, we purpose the 3D shape extraction based on
using photographic tomography with spiral cone-beam

technique can rectify the problem of perspective occlusion
that occurs when using cone-beam trajectory"

"BP algorithm is widely used in the field of business
intelligence. Aimed at improving its relatively slow
convergence speed and its tendency to be trapped in local
minima easily, an improved two-phases parallel algorithm is
presented in this paper. The first parallel operation is to cast
about for minima area so as to avoid getting into local
optimal solution to some extent and accelerate
convergence, thereby reducing the number of epochs. The
second parallel operation is to shorten learning time. The

searching for its adjacent minterms from lower order to

adjacent minterm operations are simple for computers to

How Good is a UML Diagram? A Tool to Check It.
Lavanya Konda, Bala Kishore, Mohanty
Hrushikesha, R. K. Shyamasundar
"UML is increasingly being accepted by practitioners for
developing object oriented programs. Different views of an
application are specified by different types of UML
diagrams. A UML diagram can be told good when it is
structurally consistent. It is shown that consistency checking
of UML diagrams can be made using OCL constraints. OCL
constraints are translated to SQL statements and defined
on databases that store UML diagrams. In case of a
structural inconsistency resulting a bad UML diagram , SQL
statement applicable to the case is applied on the table that
stores the diagram, generating a warning to designers. This

consistency of UML diagrams. In the process we have
defined a generic method to translate OCL to SQL and also

A New Practical MIMO Channel Estimation
Technique for IEEE802.16a: Performance
Analysis
Micheal Drieberg, Kuan Min Yew, Varun Jeoti
"Both orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)
and multi-input multi-output (MIMO) are key enabling
technologies for future wireless communications systems.
For both these technologies to work optimally, the channel
between each pair of transmitter and receiver needs to be
estimated accurately. In an earlier work, we had proposed a
simple channel estimation method for a MIMO-OFDM
system based on IEEE802.16a (wireless Metropolitan Area
Network (MAN)). The channel estimates were obtained by
cyclically rotating the preamble in such a way that the time
domain channel impulse response (CIR) from each
transmitter can be separated in time within one symbol
period. Results show that the overall system BER are
nearly as good as the upper bound performance that is
obtained with perfect channel state information (CSI) with
only 0.5dB worst case degradation in performance."

approximately 6X smaller can also be obtained without
further degradation of the image quality if a simple region-
of-interest coding based on low order statistics of the

representation. More significantly, important diagnostic
features in the mammogram can be visually enhanced by a

Multiresolution Image Alignment based on
Discrete Wavelet Transform
Petch Nantivatana
"We introduce a multi-resolution image registration based
on using discrete wavelet transform. We first extract contour
from both images that we want to align. The extracted
contours are then fitted with B-spline curve representation
to synthesize the new contours with equal number of point.
The area parameter is used in the B-spline fitting to make
the new generated curve immune to affine transformation.
Before representing the B-spline contour with discrete
wavelet transform, the problem of starting point of the
contour needs to be handle. This can be done by computing
the maximum curvature. The maximum curvature is
selected as the starting point. Once the starting points on
the contour have been established, the discrete wavelet
transform is then recursively represented the contours until
only a few points is remained. Due to the affine-invariant
properties of discrete wavelet transform, these points can
be used as landmark points for registering the transformed
contour with the original contour. The experiments have
shown that the purposed methods are robust and promising
even in the presence of noise."

Visual Assessment for The Quantization Error in

The investigation of the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT)

of the open problems to be solved is the perception to the
quantization noise in different subbands in the DWT
domain. This is a critical issue for the development of a
better motion compensation (MC) scheme. An experiment
and relevant results analysis are presented in this paper to
address the above issue. Monochrome video sequences of
natural scenes are used in the experiment therefore the so-
called masking effects can be taken into account in the
decision of the sensitivity to the noise hidden in the DWT
domain. The preliminary results show that the most
sensitive subbands are those in the lowest three resolution
levels under a five-levels decomposition scheme. The
further analysis proves that the distribution of the sensitivity
to each individual subband has been shifted by the context
of the video.

Target Tracking in an Image Sequence Using

Javed Ahmed, M. N. Jafri, J. Ahmad
"In this paper, we present a comprehensive study to design
an artificial neural network (ANN) for tracking a target in an

single-hidden-layer back-propagation neural network
(BPNN), in which the sigmoid and the linear activation
functions are used for its hidden and output layers,
respectively. The features used for the input layer of the
BPNN are 4th level Daubechiess wavelet decomposition
coefficients corresponding to the input image.
Performances of db1, db2, db3, and db4 wavelet features
are compared. The object, which is tracked for the purpose
of demonstration, is a specific airplane. However, the
proposed ANN model can be trained to track any other
object of interest. The trained ANN has been simulated and
tested on the training and testing datasets. The tracking
error is analyzed with post-regression analysis tool, which
finds the correlation among the calculated coordinates and
the correct coordinates of the object in the image. The
promising results of the presented computer simulation and
analysis show that the proposed target tracking technique
exploiting the power of ANN and wavelet transform is quite
plausible and significantly robust."

A New Quasi-Lumped Resonant Cell Concept in
Modern RF and Microwave Components
Tsz Yin Yum
"The quasi-lumped resonant cell concept provides a new
paradigm for modern RF front-end component designs
where simple, compactness, low cost and high performance
are critical. This paper reviews some of the recent works in
this area which has been pursued by the authors research
group at HKCityU. With a special pattern etched on the
transmission line, the devised resonant structures feature
very simple, yet compact 1-D designs that offer very broad
stop-band, and moderate slow-wave characteristics.
Numerous passive and active RF/microwave components
are demonstrated to show the uniqueness of this idea."

Modification of An Open Area Okumura-Hata
Propagation Model Suitable For Oman
Nazar Mohamed
"This paper examines the applicability of Okumura-Hata
model in Oman in GSM frequency band. The study was
carried out for open area only, since measurements
provided from OmanMobile were about the open areas. The
mean square error (MSE) was calculated between
measured path loss values and those predicated on basis
of Okumura-Hata model for an open area [1 ]. The MSE is
up to 6dB, which is an acceptable value for the signal
prediction [1]. Therefore, the model gave a significant
difference in an open area that allowed necessary changes
to be introduced in the model. That error was minimized by
subtracting the calculated MSE (15.31dB) from the original
equation of open area for Okumura-Hata model. Modified
equation was also verified for another cell in an open area
in Oman and gave acceptable results."

Sensor Fusion Based Localization of a Mobile
User in a Wireless Network
Adrian Bishop, Pubudu Pathirana
"This paper applies sensor fusion to the localization
problem of a mobile user. We propose that the use of
direction of arrival (DOA) estimations along with received
signal strength measurements can increase the accuracy
and robustness of location estimations. The DOA
estimations are incapable of providing multi-dimensional
positioning alone, while signal strength methods are prone
to high uncertainties. A Robust Extended Kalman Filter
(REKF) is used to derive the state estimate of the mobile
user's position, and successfully track the mobile users with
less system complexity, as it requires measurements from
only one base station. Therefore, localization of mobile
users can be performed at the single base station.
Furthermore, the technique is robust against system
uncertainties caused by the inherent deterministic nature of
the mobility model. Through simulation, we show the
accuracy of our prediction algorithm and the simplicity of its
implementation."
Perceptual Influences on Use of Fixed Lines and
Mobile Phones
Gabriele Hermansson, Anthony Saliba
"Not withstanding the increase in uptake of mobile phones
in Australia, fixed line phones remain in extensive use. The
Australian population is one of the highest users of fixed
line phones in the world. In the absence of any models
appropriate to this domain, a model for uptake and usage of
established technology, and in particular fixed lines is
proposed. The findings of this study revealed that the
variables that influence drivers to use fixed lines differed
from those that predict the use of mobile phones. The
model also explores the contribution of a new proposed
predictor variable towards the continued use of technology
Subjective Newness."

Wireless Grid Middleware Architecture for
Providing Reliable Services
Yong Hyuk Moon, Tran Minh Trung, Chan-Hyun
Youn, Song Hyeon-Sun, Ji Jung-Yeop
"Currently, there are many requirements for the inter-
connection and interoperability between mobile users and
static Grid area with a P2P-like manner. Due to the nature
of the mobile device and quality poor connection in wireless
network, the behavior of mobile devices might be very
unpredictable. Thus, we need well-organized system
architecture to provide reliable Grid services for the mission
critical application such as e-Health services. In this paper,
we introduce a new Mobile-to-Grid Gateway Replication
(MGR) architecture that can satisfy those requirements. In
MGR architecture we integrate Mobile-to-Grid Gateway
(MG) with Policy Based Quorum Resource Management
(PQRM) [1][8] into a unity system. And we also propose a
Cost-constraint replication algorithm for calculating the
optimal number of replication gateways depending on
users?budget and requirements. Through the theoretical
analysis and simulation, the results from the proposed
scheme are measured and discussed."

Merging Retrieval Results in Hybrid Peer-to-Peer
Networks
Qian Zhang, Xuezhi Wen, Yu Sun
"The state of the art of hybrid P2P-based information
retrieval is still at its infant stage and confronted with many
challenges. One of the most urgent problems is how to
combine the retrieval results from different neighboring
nodes into a single, integrated ranked list. In this paper, we
propose a result merging algorithm to address the
challenge. Our algorithm is deterministic and does not
require neighboring nodes to provide any information for
result merging, which makes it different from other
algorithms that require cooperation from participants. A
variety of experiments demonstrate that the new approach
is effective."

Educating Nomadic Children: An Experiment with
the Convergence of Technologies
Muriyankulangara Ananthakrishnan
"EDUCATING NOMADIC CHILDREN: AN EXPERIMENT
WITH THE CONVERGENCE OF TECHNOLOGIES The
wandering nature of the nomads in a vast country like India
has had a toll on their children, who are denied even a
semblance of formal or regular education. This results
invariably in the children continuing with the traditional
nomadic culture. Maharashtra, a state in western India
shares borders with a number of neighbouring states. The
nomadic tribes in this state, therefore, invariably wander
amongst the neighbouring states. This paper is a report on
an exciting experiment with convergence of tradition and
ICT. The author and his team have studied the tribes in
detail and have evolved a methodology that involves the
use of all available technologies, based on relevance,
availability, portability, repeatability and flexibility. The initial
experiments carried out with three tribes in Maharashtra,
have created the much needed motivation in the children
and mothers and given the assurance that the efforts will
bear fruit."

Electronically current mode all-pass filter with
only one grounded capacitor
Seangrawee Tongkulboriboon, Wijittr Petchakit,
WiWat Kiranon
A novel current mode first order all-pass filter with
electronically tunable feature based on second generation
current controlled conveyor (CCCII) is presented. The
configuration of the proposed circuit is simple and very
attractive for monolithic circuits owing to using only one
grounded capacitor and two CCCIIs. Phase shift
characteristic of the current mode all-pass filter can be
controlled by dc bias currents of the CCCIIs. The proposed
circuit is verified by SPICE simulation and applied in current
mode quadrature oscillator realization. The results from
simulations are included in order to confirm the validity of
the proposed circuits.

Identification of Nonlinear Differential Equation
Models from Generalized Frequency Response
Functions
Akshya Swain, Eduardo Mendes
A new algorithm called total least squares with structure
selection (TLSSS) has been proposed to identify continuous
time differential equation models from complex frequency
response data. The algorithm combines the advantages of
both the total least squares and orthogonal least squares
with structure selection (OLSSS). The error reduction ratio
(ERR) feature of OLSSS are exploited to provide an
effective way of detecting the correct model structure or
which terms to include into the model and the total least
squares algorithm provides accurate estimates of the
parameters when the data is corrupted with noise. The
performance of the algorithm has been compared with the
weighted complex orthogonal estimator and has been
shown to be superior.

Efficient Structure for Single-Bit Digital Comb
Filters and Resonators
Amin Sadik, Zahir Hussain, Peter O'Shea
A design technique for a single-bit digital comb filter is
presented. The proposed filter response and performance
are assessed in terms of signal-to-quantization-noise ratio
(SQNR) and stability. It is found that the comb filter
possesses a distinct frequency response in broadband
signal applications. The same technique is utilized to design
and simulate a single-bit N-period digital resonator.
Feedback loop filters can be used to tune the frequency
response of the $\Sigma\Delta$ modulators. The proposed
design technique is efficient in hardware implementation.

Design of DMB Nonuniform SIR-type BPF with
Embedded Tunable Pads Using LTCC
Byoung-hwan Lim, Sung Kyo Park, Hyang-guh-ri Ko,
Ho-rim Chang, Chong-baek Park
"Recently, RF systems have rapidly grown with the
extension of the mobile communication service. The mobile
service companies are providing the satellite broadcasting.
Coinciding with current trend, the development of improved
satellite DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) tuner is
required. To improve the receiving sensitivity under the poor
communication circumstance, it is necessary to design the
BPF (Bandpass Filter) to transmit only desired signal
without distortion and loss. Besides high reliability, the
miniaturization and lightweight are required for design of
mobile terminals. In this paper, we designed and fabricated
DMB nonuniform SIR-type BPF with embedded tunable
pads, which operates at 2642 §Ö and is embedded in the
substrate of RF module of tuner with LTCC. As a result, we
obtained the passband insertion loss of 2.4 dB and the
passband ripple of 0.08 dB. So this BPF is applicable to RF
module of satellite DMB tuner."

Robust Nonlinear Coordinated Control of TCSC
and Generator Excitation
H. Lan, L.K Zhang
"An advanced robust nonlinear control scheme is proposed
for single-machine infinite-bus power system (SMIS)
equipped with thyristor controlled series compensation
(TCSC). Firstly, for a class of multi-input multi-output
(MIMO) nonlinear system with disturbances, a disturbance
attenuation method in the sense of gain is proposed
through recursive method to construct storage function, and
then disturbance attenuation control law is obtained.
Secondly, in view of the strong nonlinearity and uncertainty
of power system, a nonlinear model with disturbances is
constructed. Lastly, a new robust nonlinear coordinated
control law of TCSC and generator excitation is developed.
Simulation results on SMIS show clearly that the proposed
control law can attenuates the influence of external
disturbances on the system and transient stability of power
system is improved."

Dynamic Modeling and Controller Designing for
Flexible Liquid-filled spacecraft
Dongliang Peng
"The present paper deals with dynamics modeling and
controller designing for a large flexible spacecraft, such as
Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) with several
flexible appendages and a liquid fuel tank. The basic
parameters for the equivalent mechanical model under low-
gravity are given when the pendulum motion of the tank is
small enough such that it can be approximated linearly.
Hybrid coordinate is used to describe the configuration of
the large flexible liquid-filled spacecraft, and the D¯
Alembert principle in virtual work is employed to derive the
dynamics equations. The equations obtained are simple
and common, which can be applied to describe many
complicated open-chain spacecraft systems. A controller is
designed using the variable structure control strategy. The
control mission consists of maneuvering the large antennas
to track the pre-selected motion laws, stabilizing the
spacecraft in an inertial space and suppressing the elastic
vibration of the appendages. A numerical example is given
to prove the validity of the control laws."

Online Implementation of Servo Controllers
Using Bit-Streams
Nitish Patel, Sing Kiong Nguang, George Coghill,
Akshya Swain
The present study proposes an alternate strategy for
implementing controllers based on bit-streams. The key to
the success of bit-stream controllers is their ability to
represent continuous time signals using uniformly weighted
binary streams. These can easily be manipulated using
standard logic gates available on a FPGA and therefore
offers significant advantages in real time implementation.
The performance of the bit-stream controllers have been
demonstrated considering an example of a D.C. servo

stream implementation can offer a viable alternative for
constructing controllers for systems with several
dimensions.

Robust terminal attitude navigation for
autonomous vehicles
Pubudu Pathirana
"Here we define the terminal attitude of the pursuer with
respect to the target and present a LQR and H1 control
approach to solving the problem of missile achieving a
desired terminal attack/approach angle. The intercept or
engagement criteria is defined in terms of both minimizing
the miss distance and controlling the pursuers body attitude
with respect to the target at the terminal point. This
approach in comparison to previous approaches consider
the relativistic approach of the missile with respect to the
target as opposed the absolute velocities of the two
dynamic bodies, and have possible applications ranging
from autonomous vehicle entry in to a mother craft to nossle
engagements in on-flight refuelling or even in precision
missile guidance. Here we also suitably formulate the H1
control ideas directly applicable for the underlying problem
and presents both state feedback and output feed back
results for the case of finite horizon and non-zero initial
conditions together with a optimal parameter value to
achieve a desired terminal characteristic in terms of the

Efficient Utilization of Electrical Energy In
Pumping Operations Based on Existing
Conditions A Case Study
P. Giridhar Kini, P. N. Sreedhar
"The intersection of the pump characteristics with the
system characteristics gives the design operating point for a
given pumping system. Changes in conditions of fluid
viscosity, total head, throttle positions, supply system
parameters etc causes the operating point to shift on either
side of the pump head-discharge curve, which affects not
only the hydraulic output of the pump, but also results in the
inefficient utilization of available electrical power. Use of
variable speed drives involves additional investment, which
if the pump is in operation for long hours every day
throughout the year with the number of such units in
operation being small in number, but is the best possible
option to achieve energy efficiency. But if the industrial
utility has large number of pump units for various
processes, with individual operating times being quite
insignificant, yet important in the process involved, variable
speed drives may not be the best possible solution. This
paper makes an attempt in presenting a simple method for
making the pump to work at / or near its operating point
based on the exiting system conditions, with the least
possible changes to the working setup in addition to
achieving the desired objective of efficient utilization of the
available electrical power. The analysis is supported by a
case study."

Radial Tchebichef Invariants for Pattern
Recognition
Ramakrishnan Mukundan
"Robust feature descriptors such as Zernike and Pseudo-
Zernike moments have been widely used in many pattern
recognition applications. However such moments require a
coordinate transformation to the domain of the continuous
orthogonal functions followed by a discrete approximation of
the integrals. This paper proposes a new class of invariants
based on discrete orthogonal polynomials which help to
eliminate the aforesaid problems. The mathematical
framework of radial Tchebichef moment invariants is
presented, and their feature representation capabilities are
studied. The radial Tchebichef moments are constructed
using the discrete Tchebichef polynomials as the kernel,
and they have a radial-polar form similar to that of Zernike
moments. The discrete form of the moment transforms
make them particularly suitable for image processing
tasks."

"Design patterns are micro architectures that have proved
to be reliable, easy-to implement and robust. There is a
need in science and industry for recognizing these patterns.
This paper aims toward development of a new method for
discovering design patterns in the source codes. The
method provides a precise specification of how the patterns
work by describing basic structural information like
inheritance, composition, aggregation and association, and
as an indispensable part, by defining call delegation, object
creation and operation overriding. We have tried to
introduce a new XMLbased language, the Extensible
Pattern Markup Language XPML, which provides an easy
way for the users to modify pattern descriptions to suit their
needs, or even to define their own patterns or just classes
in certain relations they wish to find. The proposed method
is tested on four open-source systems, and is found to be

"The human face plays an important role in social

recognition/identification algorithms usually calculate the
similarity between a face and faces stored in databases and
determine if they match or not. In those algorithms, the
measurement of similarity is important. This paper presents
knowledge about face similarity acquired by knowledge

In the experiments, three kinds of questionnaires are used
to obtain training examples, and these examples are
processed by decision tree system C4.5 and inductive logic

can be reconfigured by bias voltages of transistors and
variable passive devices, and the RF circuit block can also
be switched dynamically. Analog RF circuits usually have
redundant margin in circuit performance to compensate
PVT variations, and it also causes redundant power
consumption. The reconfigurable RF circuit can reduce

compensates the performance margin. We demonstrate
dynamic power reduction for opamp and LNA."

MAEC: A Movement-Assisted Energy Conserving
Method in Event Driven Wireless Sensor
Networks
Ming Zhao
"Energy is one of the most important resources in wireless

been exploited to preserve the energy. But in event driven
networks, the mobility issue is quite different from the
continuous monitoring one because only a small portion of
sensor node has data to send at one time. The number of
sensor node that forward traffic should be minimized to
prolong the network lifetime. In this paper, we propose a
movement-assisted energy conserving method which tries
to reduce the amount of forwarding sensor node by
directing the base station moving close to the hotspots. This
method achieves good performance especially when
applied to a network with a set of cooperative mobile base
station. Extensive simulation has been done to verify the

ZWOS A Lightweight Operating System For

Jim Wu, Michael Melkonian
"A large number of commercial and public domain Real-

vast number of relatively simple devices, many based on 8-
bit micro-controllers, which, due to limited resources, or lack
of need, have no RTOS. We argue that the appearance of
low-cost, lightweight wireless technologies, such as IEEE
802.15.4 (WPAN) and Zigbee, will lead to a demand for a
lightweight operating system that is easily portable, has a
small footprint and will seamlessly integrate with protocol

A Novel Statistical Cut-Strategy for DP-based
Multiple Biosequence Alignment
Cheng-Long Chuang
"In this paper, a novel cut-strategy is presented for solving
the problems of multiple biosequence alignment. Sequence
comparison is the most important primitive operation for
ana-lyzing of the bioinformatics data. The most fundamental
method for alignment of several biosequences is the
dynamic program-ming (DP) technique. The DP method is
capable of finding opti-mal alignments for a set of
sequences. However, when the length of the sequences
increased, the DP method is impracticable due to the
computational complexity is extremely high. Therefore, a
new method is proposed in this paper for reducing the
computational cost of the DP technique. By recursively
finding the structural features of the biosequences, the
proposed method can divide the biosequences into very
small alignment problem, which can be directly solved by
DP, or other applicable methods that can pro-duce the
results of alignment faster. By utilizing the ob-ject-oriented
programming technique, the proposed method also
provides low memory space consumption during execution.
Moreover, the proposed algorithm has been implemented in
an x86 demonstration program, and compares the effective
and effi-cient performance with other known method."

"Implementation and experimental procedures to solve an

this paper. All possible travel path combinations of the
elevators are encoded by oligonucleotides of length directly
proportional to the elevators traveling time based on certain
initial conditions such as elevators present and destination
floors, and hall calls from a floor. Parallel overlap assembly
is employed for initial pool generation and polymerase chain
reaction for amplification. Gel electrophoresis is then
performed to separate all the generated travel paths by its
oligonucleotides lengths. The gel electrophoresis image is
then captured to visualize the required optimal path.
Experimental result shows that DNA computing approach

inputs of the alrogithm was determined from the the position
error at the begin of the step, acceleration and velocity. The
velocity and the acceleration were updated by the position
error and velocity of the previous step. This made the tool
path smoother and increased continuity. The algorithm was
demonstrated on a 2-axis machine which had ball screw
and air guide. The tool moved on both of the convex and
concave surfaces by the proposed algorithm. The tendency
of the error was monitored by the change of the tool
diameter. The maximum position error was under submicro
level."

A Methodology for Improving PESQ Accuracy for
Chinese Speech
Fong Loong Chong, Ian McLoughlin, Krzysztof
Pawlikowski
"Unlike English and most other European languages,
Mandarin Chinese has two unique characteristics, the
consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) phonetic structure and
use of tones, which may affect its intelligibility after
processing by sound processing systems. Due to this, the
Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ) objective
speech quality measurement system, which has been
proven effective in measuring the speech quality of sound
processing systems processing English or some other
languages, may not accurately measure speech quality of
systems processing Chinese speech. An evaluation of
PESQ was thus performed to investigate whether
intelligibility related problems that arise from the two
characteristics are being considered in the computation of
speech quality. From the evaluation, it was revealed that
PESQ indeed does not consider them through low
correlation between subjective intelligibility and PESQ
scores. A method known as consonant amplification was
then proposed to improve correlation results for Chinese
speech. Its implementation in PESQ was investigated."

On the Use of Forward Temporal Masking and
Cumulative Distribution Mapping for Noisy
Speech Recognition
Eric Choi, Julien Epps
"Robustness in the presence of various types and levels of
environmental noise remains an important issue for
automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. This paper
describes a new noise-robust ASR front-end that employs a
functional model of forward temporal masking combined
with cumulative distribution mapping based on MFCCs with
c0. Recognition experiments on the Aurora II connected
digits database reveal that the proposed front-end achieves
an average digit recognition accuracy of 83.24% for a
model set trained from clean data and 90.32% for a model
set trained from data with multiple noise conditions.
Compared with the ETSI standard Mel-cepstral front-end,
the proposed front-end obtains a relative error reduction of
around 57% for the clean model set and 21% for the multi-
condition model set."

Applying Hybrid Neural Network For Malay
Syllables Speech Recognition
GOH KIA ENG
We proposed a hybrid technique for speech recognition
which applying 2 different neural network architecture. The
proposed technique combines Self-Organizing Map (SOM)
which known as unsupervised network and Multilayer
Perceptron (MLP) which known as supervised network for
Malay syllables speech recognition. We used a 2-
dimensional self-organizing feature map as a feature
extractor which acts as a sequential mapping function in
order to transform the acoustic vector sequences of speech
signal into trajectories. The output of SOM is a matrix with
same dimension and its elements take on binary values.
The transformation of the feature vector simplifies the
classification task by recognizer using Multilayer
Perceptron. The MLP classifies the binary trajectories that
each syllable corresponds to. Experiments were conducted
on the 15 Malay syllables by 10 speakers for conventional
technique (MLP only) and proposed technique (SOM and
MLP). Our technique has archieved better performance
where improves the accuracy up to 4.5%.

Sub-Nyquist Nonuniform Sampling and Perfect
Reconstruction of Speech Signals
Heyoung Lee, Zeungnam Bien
"The discrete-time speech signals obtained by Nyquist
uniform sampler have two kinds of redundant samples. One
originates from the time-varying instantaneous bandwidth.
The other originates from non-compactness of spectral
support in time-frequency domain. In this paper, the sub-
Nyquist nonuniform sampling and the perfect reconstruction
formula are proposed for removing the redundant samples
due to the time-varying instantaneous bandwidth in speech
signals. In the proposed method, the instantaneous
sampling frequency varies, depending on the least upper
boundary of spectral support of a speech signal in time-
frequency domain. The definition of the instantaneous
bandwidth, which determines the instantaneous sampling
frequency and is used for generating the set of samples that
represent continuous-time signals perfectly, is given."

Performance Analysis of Adaptive Source Rate
Control Algorithm (ASRC) for VoIP
Muhammad Usman, Noor Muhammad Sheikh
"The quality of VoIP is highly degraded by network
dynamics like congestion of links, routing delays, packet

with network dynamics, a much better end-to-end quality of
service can be achieved. This paper discusses some
already existing techniques for source rate control,
highlighting their limitations and presents a recursive

Modeling of VoIP Conversational Speech in Noisy

Padungkrit Pragtong, Tapio Erke, Kazi Ahmed
"This paper proposes the Voice over IP (VoIP) traffic
models, which include the effect of noisy environment. The
proposed models are based on the traffic data measured
from the operating IP network of Telephone Organization of
Thailand (TOT) Corporation. It was found that the observed
distributions of talkspurt and silent durations considerably
differ from the standard model (ITU-T P.59). It is proposed
that a new state long burst representing the background
noise at the talkers place, is added into the model based on
continuous-time Markov process. The other two states,
normal speech and long silence, represent the normal
behavior of the VoIP user. If background noise occurs
during the speech, the model is classified as noisy speech
otherwise as noiseless speech. In the observed cases, the
data rate of noisy speech is about 64% bigger than the data
rate of noiseless speech."

how to link primary producers into the chain. In this paper
we provide an introduction to SamCom (a joint university/

this collaboration need of service providers and consumers
on business need within a service-on-demand style. While
collating responses from multiple service providers, the

The ARP Virtual Reality System in Addressing

Yang-Wai Chow, Ronald Pose, Matthew Regan
"Nations, corporations and political organizations around
the world today are forced to deal with an increasing
number of security threats. As a result, various
organizations must find ways to adequately equip and
prepare themselves to handle numerous dangerous and life
threatening circumstances. Virtual reality is an extremely
important technology that can be used across a variety of
different fields and for a number of diverse applications,
ranging from simulation training to visualization tools, in
order to prepare for and manage disaster situations. Head
Mounted Display (HMD) virtual reality systems attempt
visually to immerse the user in a virtual environment.
However, it is well recognized that latency, the delay in
responding to a users head movement, is a major
shortcoming that plagues immersive HMD virtual reality
systems. Excessive latency destroys the illusion of reality
that such systems attempt to present to the user. A
hardware architecture known as the Address Recalculation
Pipeline (ARP) and a computer graphics rendering
technique called priority rendering, were designed to reduce
the end-to-end latency suffered by immersive HMD virtual

convergence properties of the filter in the non-steady state
have been clarified; however, its behavior in the steady-

analysis technique based on a Markov chain in order to
investigate steady-state properties of the filter. By using the

A Delayless Adaptive IFIR Filterbank Structure
for Active Noise Control
Kasi Rajgopal, Venkataraman Sethuraman
"Active noise control (ANC) applications involve adaptive
filters with hundreds of taps. These filters are associated
with high computational burden depending on the number
of taps in the filter and may suffer from slow convergence if
the reference signal spectrum has a large dynamic range.
Subband and filterbank techniques have been proposed to
address these problems. Filter Bank Adaptive Filter (FBAF)
is one of the models, which can model a linear system
exactly. The FBAF model is a parallel bank of filters with
each bank (channel) comprising of cascade of a set of short
length filter called interpolator followed by a sparse model
filter. Each channel consisting of the interpolator filter and
sparse model filter is identical to a classical IFIR filter,
hence the structure is called adaptive IFIR filterbank
structure. The filterbank basis functions are orthonormal,
which introduce delay in the signal path degrading the
performance of the adaptive filter. In this paper, we propose
a delayless adaptive filterbank structure based on IFIR
filterbank structure for active noise control. The proposed
delayless adaptive filter has improved convergence rate
and shows better noise cancellation in the wideband and
narrowband ANC domain when compared with the
conventional fullband adaptive structure. The computational
complexity of the proposed structure is compared with the
fullband structure."

The design technique produces filters with a remarkable

Peyman Arian
"The authors have recently proposed two alternative

phase FIR filters. The implementation of both designs
requires a set of demultiplexers and IIR filters, which
accounts for the efficiency of the designs. On the other
hand, since the demultiplexers and the IIR filters go through
an activation-deactivation cycle at different time slots, the
noise analysis for the structure becomes extremely
complex. This study aims to derive closed form formulae for
the roundoff noise generated in the proposed structures."

However, these sensors increase the size and cost of the

The basic concept associated with this methodology lies in

Enhancing Episodic Associative Memory Models
for Practical Use
Leelani Wickramasinghe, Damminda Alahakoon
"Associative memory models have been developed as
mathematical and cognitive models to represent human
memory. The mathematical models have been successfully
applied in classification and pat-tern recognition tasks. But
there is a practical value in the cognitive representation of it
which has given rise to associative memory models known
as Episodic Associative Memory (EAM). To date, the
practical application of EAMs is less common than the
mathematical models mainly due to representa-tion
deficiencies in EAMs. This paper proposes a novel
approach known as Episodic Associative Memory with a
Neighborhood Effect (EAMwNE), which overcomes these
representative limitations and increases the practical value
of EAMs. EAM-wNE utilises the lateral relationships among
fea-ture values, considering a neighborhood in achiev-ing
this. Consequently, each data pattern is repre-sented by a
number of memory traces (opposed to the single
representation in early models) depend-ing on the size of
neighborhood. In this paper, EAMwNE is experimented with
classification tasks to demonstrate the enhanced
capabilities of it. The accuracy of EAMwNE is further
enhanced by a reward mechanism."

"The task of automatic gesture recognition is highly
challenging due to the presence of unpredictable and
ambiguous nongesture hand motions referred to as co-

transition from one gesture to the next, problem is
encountered in continuous hand gesture recognition. In this
paper, we have shown that co-articulation may be tackled
by identifying the key frames in the gesture video sequence.
We propose an acceleration feature for isolating the non
gestural motions between meaningful gestural indications
during trajectory guided recognition of hand gesture.
Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness our
proposed scheme in identifying co-articulation in gestures
thereby improving the gesture recognition rate."

strokes by cubic splines and produces a vector skeleton.
The vector skeletonisation method is designed to preserve
the individual features that can distinguish one writer from
another. Extraction of structural character-level features of
handwriting is performed using both skeletonisation
methods and the results are compared. Use of the vector
skeletonisation method resulted in lower error rate during

Using Particle Swarm Optimisation for Elastic
Bunch Graph Matching to Recognise Faces
Rajinda Senaratne, Saman Halgamuge
"A new approach to face recognition, where Elastic Bunch
Graph Matching technique optimised with Particle Swarm
Optimisation is proposed in this paper. It is a fully automatic
algorithm and can be used for databases where only one
image per person is available. A face is represented by a
face graph. A Face Bunch Graph is created as a
generalised representation of faces of various individuals.
The face graph similarity between the Face Bunch Graph
and the deformable graph that has to be fitted to the face in
the image is maximised by Particle Swarm Optimisation, to
locate the landmarks and thereby to find the optimal graph
to represent a face. Improved results were obtained by this
method as apposed to Elastic Bunch Graph Matching
without Optimisation. Results were further improved by
hybridising it with Principal Component Analysis."

A Hybrid Method for the Calculation of Radiation

"This paper presents a new hybrid method for the
calculation of the radiation field outside the shielding

determined, can be used to ascertain the radiate field
anywhere external to the opening in a shielding enclosure.
The accuracy of the proposed method is verified by
comparing the exterior radiation fields with those calculated
by full FDTD and the traditional hybrid method. Simulation
results show that the new hybrid method significantly
reduces the computational effort and time, but still
maintains satisfactory results. It also shows that the

H.264 to MPEG-4 Resolution Reduction
Transcoding
Jae-Ho Hur, Yung Lyul Lee
"In this paper, we propose a heterogeneous trans- coding
method of converting an H.264 video bitstream into an
MPEG-4 video bitstream. The proposed method reduces
the spatial resolution for mobile terminals which support
only low resolution video bitstreams. When the H.264 video
bitstream is transformed into the MPEG-4 video bitstream,
the conversions between the H.264 block types and the
MPEG-4 block types are performed by minimizing the
distortion, and 4 4 block-based motion vector mapping is
performed. The proposed transcoding method runs on
average 5.5 times faster than the cascaded transcoding
methods, for a degradation of the PSNR (peak-signal- to-
noise ratio) of less than 0.5dB."

MPEG-4 to H.264 Transcoding

"In this paper, a temporal resolution reduction transcoding
method that transforms an MPEG-4 video bitstream into an
H.264 video bitstream is proposed. The block modes and
motion vectors in the MPEG-4 bitstream are utilized in the
H.264 encoder for block mode conversion and motion
vector interpolation methods. The proposed four types of
motion vector interpolation methods are developed not to
perform brute-force motion estimation again in the H.264. In
the experimental results, the proposed methods achieve
3~4 times improvement in computational complexity
compared to the cascade pixel-domain transcoding, while

0.2~0.9dB depending on the bitrates."

A Novel Error Detection and Copyright Protection
Scheme for MPEG-2 Video
Yuk Chung
"This paper proposes an copyright protection and error
detection/recovery scheme for MPEG-2 video using Digital
Watermarking and Error Control Coding (ECC) algorithms.
Instead of directly embedding into the MPEG2 video, the
copyright information is first passed through an ECC
encoder to generate an ECC coded watermark. The ECC
coded watermark is embedded into each 8x8 block of I
frame. At the decoder the watermark can be extracted and
automatically corrected by ECC decoding. Besides, the
embedded watermark information can also be used to
detect and locate the transmission errors in the video
stream. A video recovery method can then be applied to
improve the quality of the transmitted video. The
experimental results show that the proposed scheme is able
to detect errors in the video stream while decoding and
reconstruct copyright information more correctly than the
traditional method."

A Scheduling Method for Real-time Decoding of
MPEG-4 Video Streams
Jinhwan Kim
"Increasing use of bandwidth-hungry high-quality
multimedia streams demands more and more computation
resources in the decoding stages at receivers. When poorly
scheduled, however, computation resources may become a
limiting factor to implementing seamless on-time playback
of multimedia streams. In this paper, we present a new
adaptive scheduling method for real-time MPEG-4 streams.
The main objective of our approach is to maximize the
number of concurrent multimedia streams without any loss
in playback. The tasks of decoding MPEG-4 multimedia
streams, considered to possess soft real-time
characteristics, are scheduled to use computation
resources based on their frame period and mean execution
time. The performance of the proposed technique is
compared against those of similar techniques through
extensive simulation experiments. The simulation results
reveal that the proposed method can effectively control the
use of computation bandwidth."

"This paper presents the thermal design aspect of linear
generator. A study is carried out to investigate the
temperature effects on the components in linear generator.
One of the most important components in the linear
generator, Neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) permanent
magnet is emphasized in this study since it provides a
magnetic field source for the linear generator and the
influence of its electromagnetic properties towards
temperature will affect the performance of linear generator.
In this paper, the generator is coupled with the internal
combustion engine which tends to produce heat. Due to the
high temperature from the combustion engine, and the heat
produced by the current carrying conductors, thermal
analysis on different physical aspects has been done. In
order to achieve an accurate result, the multiphysics solver

Choice of Reference Conductor in Three Phase
Systems A Paradigm Shift
Harnaak Khalsa, Jingxin Zhang
"The values of non-active (reactive) and total (apparent)
power for three-phase systems change with choice of
reference conductor. Presently, the neutral in a four-wire
system and virtual neutral in three wire systems is the
commonly used reference in definitions. In this paper, it is
shown that this is not necessarily the optimal choice of
reference. Thus, there is a need to define an optimal
reference that has practical value. As a solution to this
problem, a new approach to determine the optimal
reference is proposed. The approach is simple but effective.
It allows extension of single-phase power definitions to 3-
phase systems to produce unique values without the need
to address balanced and unbalanced cases separately. The
resulting definitions can be used to provide optimal non-
active power compensation. The performance of this
approach is illustrated with a case study. The case study
uses three-phase three and four wire systems with different
resistive, inductive and capacitive load combinations. The
results of case study demonstrate the good performance of
the approach for the choice of reference conductor."

A Self-contained Direct Methanol Fuel Cell with
Surface Tension Fuel Delivery
Yuming Yang, Yung C. Liang
"Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are now becoming the
leading candidate of next-generation power source
especially for portable electronics. However, so far almost
all DMFCs are fed with diluted methanol solution and
supplied by the active pump attached in the system. This
active component brings additional power consumption and
lowers the entire system efficiency. In this paper, a simple
fuel delivery structure driven by surface tension is designed
and assembled for the DMFC system. Due to the different
surface tension of methanol and water, the methanol is
expected to diffuse smoothly through the capillaries inside
Teflon PTFE membrane into water side to form diluted fuel.
The experimental results demonstrated that the DMFC kit
with the passive fuel delivery structure can achieve largely
extended operating time period and higher fuel efficiency.
Therefore, such passive fuel delivery component is believed
more applicable for micro scale DMFCs developing for
portable electronics."

"This paper presents the system analysis, circuit design and
implementation of an active clamp forward converter with
synchronous rectifier. Compared with the conventional
forward converter, there is one auxiliary switch in the active
clamp forward converter to recycle the energy stored in the
transformer leakage in order to minimize the spike voltage
at the transformer primary side. Therefore the voltage
stress of main switch can be reduced. The resonant circuit
based on the output capacitance and leakage inductance of
the transformer will achieve zero voltage switching turn-on
for both main and auxiliary switches to increase the circuit
efficiency. The synchronous rectifier is used at the
secondary side to further reduce the conduction losses. The
operation principles of the active clamp forward converter
are analyzed in detail and the circuit performance is
compared with the conventional forward converter. The
design procedure and example of active clamp forward
converter are presented. Finally experimental results are

Using Distributed Circuits to Model Power
Capacitor Behavior
Robert Brown
"Distributed circuit modeling of stacked and spiral
capacitors is described. The modeling, executed on a

changes in capacitor specifications such as metal film
resistivity and changes in geometric dimensions on
dissipation factor, equivalent lumped capacitance, film
current density, film voltage and power distribution profile.
The system provides a complete range of data including
equivalent series resistance and complex impedance. The
effects of varying degrees of edge disconnection are
provided in the model system. It provides a tool not only for
power circuit designers, but for manufacturers concerned
with design optimization and understanding of the effects of
varying degrees of in-use degradation. In this study, a
simple capacitor model with varying degrees of edge
disconnection is explored. The results correspond to
common experience whereby degraded capacitors exhibit
large increases in dissipation factor with little change in
nominal capacitance. The results predict the existence of
hot spots in a capacitor degraded by partial edge
disconnection."

High-speed Weighing Using Impact on Load Cells
Andrew Gilman, Donald Bailey
"Many techniques employed in current weighing systems
rely on the step response of one or a number of force
transducers for making measurements. However, force
transducers can have significant settling time, which limits
the maximum rate at which measurements can be made.
This paper presents a method of weight measurement that
utilizes the impact of an object on a load cell. The impact
impulse can be approximated by the Dirac delta function
and hence the output resembles the impulse response. The
size of the impact impulse and the weight of the object can
be found from this impulse response. Signal processing is
used to eliminate the long oscillatory response of the force
transducer, allowing the measurements to be made at a
much higher rate."

A New Approach for Harmonic Compensation
Using Single- phase Hybrid Active Power filter
Saad Mekhilef, Muhammad , Maliki Omar
"This paper presents a new approach for harmonic control,
and its practical implementation for a single-phase hybrid
active power filter. It is a combination of a series active
power filter and a shunt passive filter. The shunt passive
filter is connected in parallel with a load and suppresses the
harmonic current produced by the load, whereas the active
filter connected in series to a source acts as a harmonic
isolator between the source and load. For active filter
control, Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) is
developed and the modulation index is selected by
calculating the DC bus voltage of the active filter. The
PSpice&#63194;, Matlab/Simulink&#63194; and MAX
PLUS II&#63194; softwares are used for simulation and
hardware implementation. ALTERA&#63194; FLEX 10K

Series active power filter for current harmonic

Bor-Ren Lin
"A multi-function of series active power filter is presented to
achieve current harmonic and load voltage regulation.
Under the normal utility voltage condition, the series inverter
is controlled to achieve current harmonic suppression so
that the total harmonic distortion is reduced. If the abnormal
utility voltage is detected at the load side, the series inverter
is operated as a controlled voltage source to protect the
sensitive loads against the voltage disturbances due to
short-term abnormal voltage conditions. The reduced
switch-count inverter is used in the single-phase system to
compensate voltage disturbance for low power applications.
The front-end diode rectifier is used to supply the necessary
active power under the voltage sag condition. The adopted
topology and control strategy are evaluated through several
simulation studies."

The measured phase noise of the free-running oscillation is
V85.4 dBc/Hz at an offset frequency of 100-kHz. With
injection locking, the phase noise is reduced to less than
V100dBc/Hz at 10-kHz, without affecting the conversion
gains. This is the first demonstration of a multi-band sub-

regulator. This paper presents an active-filter based step-
down dc-dc switching voltage regulator that could possibly
make the whole circuit on chip. The analytical modeling and
simulation results show that the proposed voltage regulator
can retain the same performance as the LC-based buck
converter as we desired."

Timestamp based optimistic concurency control
Quazi Mamun, Hidenori Nakazato
Optimistic Concurrency control demonstrates a few
improvements over pessimistic concurrency controls like
two-phase locking protocol or time-stamp based protocol.
But the price of coarse detection of conflicts may
sometimes be high and consequently discounts the
advantage of optimistic concurrency control protocol. In this
paper we have reduced the space of coarse detection of
conflicts of optimistic concurrency control protocol.

Greedy exploration policy of Q-learning based on
state balance
Yu Zheng, Siwei Luo, Jing Zhang, Zefan Zhang
"Q-learning is one of the successfully established
algorithms for the reinforcement learning, which has been
widely utilized to the intelligent control system, such as the
control of robot pose. However, curse of dimensionality and
difficulty in convergence exist in Q-learning resulting from
random exploration policy and state-space quantization, so
it is difficult for Q-learning to be applied to the control of
complicated systems. In this paper, we propose a greedy
exploration policy of Q-learning with rule guidance. This
exploration policy can reduce the non-optimal action
exploration as more as possible, and speed up the
convergence of Q-learning. Simulation results indicate the
effectiveness of the proposed method."

Face personalization: animated facial modeling
approach using radial basis function
Edmond Prakash, Chen Chen
"In this paper, we propose a facial modeling system using
our novel multilevel adaption procedure. We model a
template head model with physical structure to synthesize
the various facial expression. To make the template model
suitable for different facial geometry, feature points
compliant to MPEG-4 Facial Definition Parameters (FDP)
are labeled on this model. Then another personalized 3D
head with different geometrical information is labeled with a
set of these feature points. An iterative multilevel training
process is performed to get a transformation function from
the template model to the personalized model. We use
Compactly Supported Radial Basis Function (CSRBF) to
assure the locality detail of the adapted model. A curvature
based searching scheme is also used to find the feature
points in the iterative process."

3D Shape Extraction of Human Face in Presence
of Facial Hair: A Profilometric Approach
Jay Yagnik, Kalpathi Ramakrishnan, Sai Siva,
Kameswara Rao Lolla
“The increasing use of 3D modeling of Human Face in Face
Recognition systems, User Interfaces, Graphics , Gaming
and the like has made it an area of active study. Majority of
the 3D sensors rely on color coded light projection for 3D
estimation. Such systems fail to generate any response in
regions covered by Facial Hair (like beard, mustache), and
hence generate holes in the model which have to be filled
manually later on. We propose the use of wavelet transform
based analysis to extract the 3D model of Human Faces
from a sinusoidal white light fringe projected image. Our
method requires only a single image as input. The method
is robust to texture variations on the face due to space-
frequency localization property of the wavelet transform. It
can generate models to pixel level refinement as the phase
is estimated for each pixel by a continuous wavelet
transform. In cases of sparse Facial Hair, the shape
distortions due to hairs can be filtered out , yielding an
estimate for the underlying face. We use a low-pass filtering
approach to estimate the face texture from the same image.
We demonstrate the method on several Human Faces both
with and without Facial Hairs. Unseen views of the face are
generated by texture mapping on different rotations of the
obtained 3D structure. To the best of our knowledge, this is
the first attempt to estimate 3D for Human Faces in
presence of Facial hair structures like beard and mustache
without generating holes in those areas."

A Framework for the Design and Implementation
of a Dynamic Face Tracking System
Eustace Painkras, Charoensak Charayaphan
“This paper presents a 3-tier Dynamic Face Tracking
System (DFTS) framework based on Gabor Wavelets. The
proposed system is composed of three major modules:
Face detection unit, Gabor decomposition & Similarity
computation unit and Face-lock refinement unit. First, we
present a neural network based face detection that is used
for face localization in cluttered environments.
Subsequently, Gabor decomposition using a Gabor Wavelet
filter bank with 40 filters (8 orientations and 5 scales) of the
initial image with the detected face, is carried out for Facial
Feature Point (FFP) extraction and initialization. In the next
stage, similarity algorithms along with Gabor Wavelet
decomposition are used to track the movements of FFPs in
the faces. Finally, a face-lock mechanism using a subset of
MPEG-4 Facial Definition Parameters (FDP) is utilized to
fine-tune the face tracking system under partial occlusion
conditions. Most of the current face tracking systems need
the FFPs to be labeled manually. They assume that the
targeted face has already been detected and localized. In
our proposed approach, face detection followed by
automatic initialization of FFPs using Gabor Wavelets is
done to facilitate face tracking in a seamless manner. Rapid
prototyping of FPGAs to speed up the compute-intensive
tasks was performed."

Skin-based Face Tracking Using Illumination
Recognition
Yuan-Pin Lin, Yi-Ping Chao, Chung-Chih Lin, Jyh-
Horng Chen
"Since skin-tone is luminance dependent, its sensitively
affected by illumination variation. Thus, the stability and
accuracy of skin-based face tracker would decrease
dramatically while environment changed; especially
platform of the system is notebook or portable device. In
this study we propose an effective illumination recognition
technique, utilizing K-Nearest Neighbor classifier combined
with adaptive skin models, to realize the real time tracking
system in various environments, which is more feasible
than lighting compensation processing in real-time
implementation. We have demonstrated that the accuracy
of face detection based on the KNN classifier is higher than
90.05% in various environments. In real-time
implementation, the system successfully tracks user face at
30 fps under standard notebook platforms. Although KNN
classifier only initiates five environments at preliminary
stage, the system permits users to define and add their
favorite environments to KNN for computer access.
Eventually, based on this efficient tracking algorithm, the
low loading of CPU computation is benefit to other
intelligent applications of human-computer-interface."

chosen from results of the facial expression recognition.
The information on these candidates is used for accessing

solved by making the radius sufficiently large, thus
increasing the size of the search region. In this paper we
present maximum likelihood decoding using simplified

Clustering based Video Transcoding for
Congestion Control in Wireless Environments
Srividya Gopalan, Balsree Ramanan, Amit Thawani,
Sridhar Varadarajan
Multimedia applications such as video conferencing and
media streaming require service guarantees and demand
strict timing requirements. Limited network resources along
with heterogeneous client devices usually act as a limiting
factor on the seamless global delivery of multimedia data.
The key issue that needs to be addressed in adaptation and
delivery of such multimedia data to diverse devices is to
strike a balance between usage of network resources and
the quality of delivered content. In this paper we propose a
transcoding approach for video streaming to heterogeneous
mobile client devices over a wireless network with limited
resources and bandwidth. Our approach is based on: (a)
Clustering client devices based on their capabilities to
determine the format of content suitable for them; (b)
Adapting content appropriate to the determined content
formats by transcoding and achieving reduction in content
size by removing redundant information from content in the
process of transcoding; (d) Using subscriber distribution
and the devices they own to optimize the number of
versions of content; and (e) Using transcoding to further
reduce the size of content for each device cluster while
maintaining the quality of content.

Design of Limited Buffer Size for Storing Multiple
Reference Frames in a Video Codec
Chih-Chang Chen, Sheng-Shiung Chen, OScal T.-C.
Chen, Chien-Fa Chen, Fang-Chu Chen
"Multiple reference frames are recommended for motion
estimation and compensation to provide coding efficiency
and error concealment in video codec. However, multiple
reference frames consume more hardware cost for storing
themselves than one reference frame used in traditional
video codec. Hence it is required to reduce the memory
cells for storing multi-frames. In this work, we look closely at
a macroblock (MB) of the currently decoded frame to
determine the data type for storing itself, according to the
coding parameters of blocks in this MB. In addition, we
further estimate the computational complexity and memory-
required distribution (CMD) of currently decoded frame from
the CMD of previous frame in a group of picture (GOP). An
optimized process is further performed to CMD of the
currently decoded frame to minimize the required
computational complexity with making a good use of the
given buffer budget. Experimental results reveal that the
proposed scheme optimally constrains the memory usage
under a given buffer budget for storing five reference
frames as full as possible. In addition, because optimally
allocating the memory cells for storing the currently
decoded frame, a comparable video quality to that without
reducing memory cells is achieved."

Fast Intra Prediction Mode Selection Scheme
Using Temporal Correlation in H.264
Min Cheol Hwang, Sung Jea Ko
"H.264/AVC uses an intra prediction mode with 4x4 block
and 16x16 block sizes for luma component and 8x8 block

H.264 encoder is dramatically increased due to the various
directional intra prediction mode. This intra prediction is
performed in every inter slice as well as every intra slice. In
this paper, we propose a novel fast H.264 intra prediction
mode selection scheme that does not require extra
computation. The proposed method uses the temporal
correlation between the intra predicted block in the current
frame and the motion-compensated block in its reference
frames. This method can reduce the computational
complexity while maintaining similar PSNR and bit rate. Our

Semantic Indexing of News Video Sequences: A

Hidden Markov Model
Maheshkumar Kolekar, Somnath Sengupta
"In this paper, we propose a system that semantically
classifies news video at different layers of semantic
significance, using different elements of visual content. The
classification hierarchy generates low-level concepts, and
concept hierarchy generates high-level concepts from low-
level concepts. Our classification hierarchy is based on a
few popular audio and video content analysis techniques
like short-time energy and Zero Crossing Rate (ZCR) for
audio and Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based techniques
for video, using color and motion as features. From these
low level concepts of classification hierarchy, rule-based
classifier generates higher-level concepts. The proposed
framework has been successfully tested with TV news
video sequences. Our results are very promising. We have
used top-down hierarchical approach, which permits us to
avoid shot detection and clustering and consequently
improves the classification performance. This has created
the great opportunity for supporting more powerful video

Three-phase fly-back AC/DC converter with novel
resonant snubber circuit
Huang Xiao-jun, Gong Jian, Yang Xiao-lai
"The technique of three-phase power factor correction in
switch mode power supplies is still not mature and
currently, most of the schemes are based on the
combination of three single-phase power factor correction
circuits with complex topology and control strategies
resulting in high cost and low popularization. This paper
presents a three-phase fly-back AC/DC converter topology
with a novel resonant snubber circuit that provides a high-
power-factor, low switching component stress , low cost and
low complexity power supply interface to the utility such as
mobile telecommunication base station. The circuit topology
of the converter is based on the three phase discontinuous
current mode (DCM) fly-back converter. This topology
makes the input current sinusoidal and in phase with the
input voltage, so the unity power factor (UPF) can be
obtained in theory. By means of a new resonant snubber
circuit which involves an assistant switching component, the
effective control of the peak current and voltage at the time
of the switching-off operations, nearly zero current switch-
off and lower switching loss is realized. In this topology, the
primary and the assistant switching components are
operated separately, but both of them are controlled by
constant duty ratio, so the control strategy of the system is
low complexity. The simulation results verify that the
proposed converter achieves a near-unity power factor at
the input and a high quality DC voltage at the output side of
the interface."

PDSR in Phase Angle Space and SPM Based
Security Monitoring of Power Systems
Cun Dong, Yu Yixin
"As the node power is controllable, the traditional dynamic
security region (DSR) is defined on power injection space.
The Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) can measure and
transfer the state variables (phase angles) of power system
synchronously. How to make full use of the Synchronized
Phasor Measurement (SPM) in the security monitoring,
protection and control of power system is a challenging
research task. In this paper, we presented the concept of
practical dynamic security region (PDSR) in phase angle
space. A study on PDSR of power systems shows that
critical points satisfying transient stability in angle space can
still be described by one or a few critical hyper-planes. With
the PDSR in the node angle space, a concise expression to
calculate the transient stability margin of a current operation
point in each direction in node angle space is suggested.
Besides, this paper suggested an approach to acquire the
PDSR in low-dimensional angle space based on dynamic
equivalence of transient stability and a method to select
appropriate locations for partially equipping PMU, which
provide an innovative way of making use of the PMU
information to carry out dynamic security monitoring of

replacement policy is one of the most important factors that

A Novel Half-Way Shifting Bezier Curve Model
Ferdous Sohel, Laurence Dooley, Gour Karmakar
"Bezier curves can cause a considerable gap to occur
between the approximation curve and its control polygon,
due to considering only the global information of the control
points. In order to reduce this error in curve representations,
localised information needs to be incorporated, with the
main philosophy to narrow down the gap by shifting the
Bezier curve points closer to the control polygon. To
integrate this idea into the theoretical framework of the
classical Bezier curve model, this paper presents a novel
Half-way shifting Bezier Curve (HBC) model, which
automatically incorporates localised information along with
the global Bezier information. Both subjective and objective
performance evaluations of the HBC model using upon a

considerable improvement over the classical Bezier curve
model without increasing the order of computational

New method for nano hardness measurement of
single crystal Aluminum
Shahjada Pahlovy
Nano hardness is an important mechanical properties of
materials most used to characterize the wear resistance of
materials. In this present paper a procedure is developed
for calculation of nano hardness by nano indentation and an
Atomic Force Microscope (A.F.M).A three sided pyramidal
diamond tip has been used for the indentation experiment.
Experiment has been concluded on single crystal Aluminum
(Al). The load displacement data have been used to obtain
the nanoindentation hardness and the room temperature
nano hardness properties of single crystal Al have been
investigated at different indentation loads. Comparison of
Tencon 2005
the data obtained using nano indenter with that obtained by
using new technique was briefly discussed. It has been
shown that the measured nano hardness values of the
material sensitively depend on the applied load of
indentation. It is also shown that the measured nano
hardness is smaller than nano indenter hardness.

Energy Management Program for Use of
Induction Motors Based on Efficiency Prediction
Thanaphiwat Phumiphak, Thanapol Kedsoi, Chaiwut
Chat-uthai
"Electric drive systems are currently responsible for the
largest part of the electricity consumption. As the cost of
energy increases, it is increasingly more important to
remove the inefficient induction motors from operation. This
paper proposes an energy management program that can
help the plants to determine how much saving will be
achieved by using more efficient motors. This paper
focuses on the use of motor field efficiency estimation of
motors without the removal of motor from service and
without the output power measurement, and the use of
motor efficiency prediction based on the manufacturer
information. The motor efficiency evaluations are obtained
from the equivalent circuit method. The test results indicate
that this program is tool of accurate economic analysis for
the purchase scenario. As result, it is possible to conduct
on-site energy audits of existing motors in order to
determine the potential savings and payback period with
great confidence."

Application of Power Source Element in Power
Factor Correction
Kamon Jirasereeamornkul, Marian Kazimierczuk,
Itsda Boonyaroonate, Kosin Chamnongthai
"A new application of power source element in power factor
correction is proposed. The power source is inserted
between a bridge rectifier diodes and a large capacitance
bulk capacitor to increase the conduction angle of the
rectifier diodes. The power from the DC bus is transferred to
power source via a loss free resistor connected with the DC
bus. Analysis, design example, control scheme, and
simulation results are given in this paper."
