System And Process For Providing Auxiliary Information For A Packet-Switched Network Of Shared Nodes Using Dedicated Associative Store, Kenneth L. Calver, James N. Griffieon Jan 2008

System And Process For Providing Auxiliary Information For A Packet-Switched Network Of Shared Nodes Using Dedicated Associative Store, Kenneth L. Calver, James N. Griffieon

Computer Science Faculty Patents

A system and process for providing auxiliary information about a distributed network of shared nodes, at least a plurality of the nodes being adapted for receiving at least one type of ESP-(associative ephemeral store processing) packet. Available for access at each of the plurality of ESP-adapted nodes is a dedicated associative store wherein a value, if bound to a tag, is only accessible as a bound (tag, value) pair for a short time period, τ. Different types of packets are contemplated for routing through the ESP-capable plurality of nodes such as those arbitrarily identified herein as a ‘first’ and ‘second’ …


Vulnerability Assessment Of Power System Using Radial Basis Function Neural Network And A New Feature Extraction Method, Ahmed M. Haidar, Azah Mohamed, Aini Hussain Jan 2008

Vulnerability Assessment Of Power System Using Radial Basis Function Neural Network And A New Feature Extraction Method, Ahmed M. Haidar, Azah Mohamed, Aini Hussain

Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)

Vulnerability assessment in power systems is important so as to determine how vulnerable a power system in case of any unforeseen catastrophic events. This paper presents the application of Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) for vulnerability assessment of power system incorporating a new proposed feature extraction method named as the Neural Network Weight Extraction (NNWE) for dimensionality reduction of input data. The performance of the RBFNN is compared with the Multi Layer Perceptron Neural Network (MLPNN) so as to evaluate the effectiveness of the RBFNN in assessing the vulnerability of a power system based on the indices, power system …


A Diagrammatic Reasoning System For The Description Logic Alc, Peter W. Eklund, Frithjof Dau Jan 2008

A Diagrammatic Reasoning System For The Description Logic Alc, Peter W. Eklund, Frithjof Dau

Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)

Diagrammatic reasoning is a tradition of visual logic that allows sentences that are equivalent to first order logic to be written in a visual or structural form: usually for improved usability. A calculus for the diagram can then be defined that allows well-formed formulas to be derived. This calculus is intended in the analog of logical inference. Description logics (DLs) have become a popular knowledge representation and processing language. DLs correspond to decidable fragments of first order logic; their notation is in the style of symbolic, variable-free formulas. Moreover, DLs are equipped with table au theorem provers that are proven …


A Real-Time Facial Expression Recognition System For Online Games, Ce Zhan, Wanqing Li, Philip Ogunbona, Farzad Safaei Jan 2008

Multiplayer online games (MOGs) have become increasingly popular because of the opportunity they provide for collaboration, communication, and interaction. However, compared with ordinary human communication, MOG still has several limitations, especially in communication using facial expressions. Although detailed facial animation has already been achieved in a number of MOGs, players have to use text commands to control the expressions of avatars. In this paper, we propose an automatic expression recognition system that can be integrated into an MOG to control the facial expressions of avatars. To meet the specific requirements of such a system, a number of algorithms are studied, …


Ontology-Based Knowledge Representation For A P2p Multi-Agent Distributed Intrusion Detection System, Dayong Ye, Quan Bai, Minjie Zhang Jan 2008

Ontology-Based Knowledge Representation For A P2p Multi-Agent Distributed Intrusion Detection System, Dayong Ye, Quan Bai, Minjie Zhang

Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)

Many research efforts on application of ontology in network security have been done in the past decade. However, they mostly stop at initial proposal or focus on framework design without detailed representation of intrusion or attack and relevant detection knowledge with ontology. In this paper, the design and implementation of ontology-based knowledge representation for a peer-to-peer multi-agent distributed intrusion detection system (ontology-based MADIDS) are introduced. An example which demonstrates the representation of an attack with ontology and the relevant detection process is also presented. In ontology-Based MADIDS, ontology technique enables peers in the system and agents in one peer to …


Voltage Unbalance Emission Limits For Installations: General Guidelines And System Specific Considerations, Robert Koch, Alexander Baitch, Sarath Perera, Prabodha Paranavithana Jan 2008

Voltage Unbalance Emission Limits For Installations: General Guidelines And System Specific Considerations, Robert Koch, Alexander Baitch, Sarath Perera, Prabodha Paranavithana

Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)

Guidelines for developing voltage unbalance emission limits for installations connected to EHV, HV, and MV power systems have recently been published as a technical report by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). These guidelines, based on the work of Joint Working Group CIGRE/CIRED C4.103, are intended to provide a common basis for the development of similar guidelines or standards in specific countries. This paper reviews these international guidelines and the background to the development of specific recommendations made in the technical report. It also considers elements of these guidelines that may relate to specific network considerations, and therefore may be of …


A Novel Chipless Rfid System Based On Planar Multiresonators For Barcode Replacement, Stevan Preradovic, Isaac Balbin, Nemai Karmakar, Gerry Swiegers Jan 2008

A Novel Chipless Rfid System Based On Planar Multiresonators For Barcode Replacement, Stevan Preradovic, Isaac Balbin, Nemai Karmakar, Gerry Swiegers

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials - Papers

RFID is taking the world by storm but lowering the price of the tag is a necessity in order to completely replace barcode systems with RFID systems. Researchers around the world have been working on chipless RFID systems. In this paper we present a novel chipless RFID system for barcode replacement. The system can be effectively used in conveyor belt applications. It uses spectral signatures to encoded data and hence provide a unique ID for every tagged object. The chipless tag is fully passive and planar.


Color Transparency In Qcd And Post-Selection In Quantum Mechanics, Shmuel Nussinov, Jeff Tollaksen Jan 2008

Color Transparency In Qcd And Post-Selection In Quantum Mechanics, Shmuel Nussinov, Jeff Tollaksen

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

We discuss color transparency in the nuclear QCD context from the perspective of pre- and post-selected ensembles. We show that the small size of the hadronic states can be explained by the peculiar "force of post-selection," in contrast to the more standard explanation based on external forces.
