Sources Of Wood And Wood Residues For Energy Production In Indiana, Isaac Slaven, Eva Haviarova, Klein Ileleji Sep 2007

Sources Of Wood And Wood Residues For Energy Production In Indiana, Isaac Slaven, Eva Haviarova, Klein Ileleji

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

As energy prices rise and there is a push for energy to be produced from renewable resources, the contribution of Indiana’s corn and soybean industry often overshadows the impact that wood residues can have in response to these demands. Reports show that the wood products industry is the largest, by paid wages, of any agricultural industry in Indiana and employs 47,000 Hoosiers (Biocrossroads 2005). In fact, Indiana has more than 4.5 million acres of forest land (USDA FS, FIA 2005) compared to about 12.3 million acres of crop land (NASS 2006). In addition to the millions of acres of forestland, …

Enhancing Performance By Salvaging Route Reply Messages In On-Demand Routing Protocols For Manets, Rendong Bai, Mukesh Singhal, Yi Luo Jan 2007

Enhancing Performance By Salvaging Route Reply Messages In On-Demand Routing Protocols For Manets, Rendong Bai, Mukesh Singhal, Yi Luo

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

Researchers prefer on-demand routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks where resources such as energy and bandwidth are constrained. In these protocols, a source discovers a route to a destination typically by flooding the entire or a part of the network with a route request (RREQ) message. The destination responds by sending a route reply (RREP) message to the source. The RREP travels hop by hop on the discovered route in the reverse direction or on another route to the source. Sometimes the RREP can not be sent to the intended next hop by an intermediate node due to node …


Performance Analysis Of Security Aspects In Uml Models, Dorin Bogdan Petriu, Dorina C. Petriu, C Murray Woodside, Jing Xiu, Toqeer A. Israr, Geri Georg, Robert B. France, James M. Bieman, Siv Holde Houmb, Jan Jurjens Jan 2007

Performance Analysis Of Security Aspects In Uml Models, Dorin Bogdan Petriu, Dorina C. Petriu, C Murray Woodside, Jing Xiu, Toqeer A. Israr, Geri Georg, Robert B. France, James M. Bieman, Siv Holde Houmb, Jan Jurjens

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

The focus of the paper is on the analysis of performance effects of different security solutions modeled as aspects in UML. Aspect oriented modeling (AOM) allows software designers to isolate and separately address solutions for crosscutting concerns, which are defined as distinct UML aspect models, then are composed with the primary UML model of the system under development. For performance analysis we use techniques developed previously in the PUMA project, which take as input UML models annotated with the standard UML Profile for Schedulability, Performance and Time (SPT), and transform them first into Core Scenario Model (CSM) and then into …
