Building Effective Ontology For Semantic Web: A Discussion Based On Practical Examples, Tianmu Zhang
Building Effective Ontology For Semantic Web: A Discussion Based On Practical Examples, Tianmu Zhang
School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works
The study aims to investigate semantic web and create useful ontology as a teaching and educational tool for others interested in learning more about Semantic web. This paper discussed several emerging issues about the semantic web and ontology building. This paper combines ontology implementation examples with research topics to identify current issues and potential solution in both application and theoretical level. It concludes that although semantic web and ontology technology are not mature enough currently, there is a clear tendency for them to be integrated into various applications to exert synergies.
Distributed Data Aggregation For Sparse Recovery In Wireless Sensor Networks, Shuangjiang Li
Distributed Data Aggregation For Sparse Recovery In Wireless Sensor Networks, Shuangjiang Li
Masters Theses
We consider the approximate sparse recovery problem in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) using Compressed Sensing/Compressive Sampling (CS). The goal is to recover the $n \mbox{-}$dimensional data values by querying only $m \ll n$ sensors based on some linear projection of sensor readings. To solve this problem, a two-tiered sampling model is considered and a novel distributed compressive sparse sampling (DCSS) algorithm is proposed based on sparse binary CS measurement matrix. In the two-tiered sampling model, each sensor first samples the environment independently. Then the fusion center (FC), acting as a pseudo-sensor, samples the sensor network to select a subset of …
Automated Visual Monitoring Of Machining Equipment, Timothy Wayne Ragland
Automated Visual Monitoring Of Machining Equipment, Timothy Wayne Ragland
Masters Theses
Metalworking equipment is designed to modify a sheet, rod, or block of metal material in order to shape it for a specific application. This equipment can operate on the metal by bending it, drilling through it, or by cutting it. For small-scale operations, many tools require a significant amount of manual input. Unless the operator has extensive training and experience, the manual input may not be precise enough for fine details that may be needed in some applications. For example, with a bending brake, obtaining an accurate angle for the bend may be quite difficult. For a particular application, an …
Power Management For Gpu-Cpu Heterogeneous Systems, Xue Li
Power Management For Gpu-Cpu Heterogeneous Systems, Xue Li
Masters Theses
In recent years, GPU-CPU heterogeneous architectures have been increasingly adopted in high performance computing, because of their capabilities of providing high computational throughput. However, current research focuses mainly on the performance aspects of GPU-CPU architectures, while improving the energy efficiency of such systems receives much less attention. There are few existing efforts that try to lower the energy consumption of GPU-CPU architectures, but they address either GPU or CPU in an isolated manner and thus cannot achieve maximized energy savings. In this paper, we propose GreenGPU, a holistic energy management framework for GPU-CPU heterogeneous architectures. Our solution features a two-tier …
Performance Controlled Power Optimization For Virtualized Internet Datacenters, Yefu Wang
Performance Controlled Power Optimization For Virtualized Internet Datacenters, Yefu Wang
Doctoral Dissertations
Modern data centers must provide performance assurance for complex system software such as web applications. In addition, the power consumption of data centers needs to be minimized to reduce operating costs and avoid system overheating. In recent years, more and more data centers start to adopt server virtualization strategies for resource sharing to reduce hardware and operating costs by consolidating applications previously running on multiple physical servers onto a single physical server. In this dissertation, several power efficient algorithms are proposed to effectively reduce server power consumption while achieving the required application-level performance for virtualized servers.
First, at the server …
Collaborative Solutions To Visual Sensor Networks, Mahmut Karakaya
Collaborative Solutions To Visual Sensor Networks, Mahmut Karakaya
Doctoral Dissertations
Visual sensor networks (VSNs) merge computer vision, image processing and wireless sensor network disciplines to solve problems in multi-camera applications in large surveillance areas. Although potentially powerful, VSNs also present unique challenges that could hinder their practical deployment because of the unique camera features including the extremely higher data rate, the directional sensing characteristics, and the existence of visual occlusions.
In this dissertation, we first present a collaborative approach for target localization in VSNs. Traditionally; the problem is solved by localizing targets at the intersections of the back-projected 2D cones of each target. However, the existence of visual occlusions among …
Feature-Based Image Comparison And Its Application In Wireless Visual Sensor Networks, Yang Bai
Feature-Based Image Comparison And Its Application In Wireless Visual Sensor Networks, Yang Bai
Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation studies the feature-based image comparison method and its application in Wireless Visual Sensor Networks.
Wireless Visual Sensor Networks (WVSNs), formed by a large number of low-cost, small-size visual sensor nodes, represent a new trend in surveillance and monitoring practices. Although each single sensor has very limited capability in sensing, processing and transmission, by working together they can achieve various high level tasks. Sensor collaboration is essential to WVSNs and normally performed among sensors having similar measurements, which are called neighbor sensors. The directional sensing characteristics of imagers and the presence of visual occlusion present unique challenges to neighborhood …
