Design And Evaluation Of High-Performance Packet Switching Schemes, Taner Doganer Apr 2004

Design And Evaluation Of High-Performance Packet Switching Schemes, Taner Doganer

Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA

The design of high-performance packet switches is essential to efficiently handle the exponential growth of data traffic in the next generation Internet. Shared-memory-based packet switches are known to provide the best possible delay-throughput performance and the lowest packet-loss rate compared with packet switches using other buffering strategies. However, scalability of shared-memory-based switching systems has been restricted by high memory bandwidth requirements, segregation of memory space and centralized control of switching functions that causes the switch performance to degrade as a shared-memory switch is grown in size. The new class of sliding-window based packet switches are known to overcome these problems ā€¦


Parametric Classification In Domains Of Characters, Numerals, Punctuation, Typefaces And Image Qualities, Osama Ahmed Khan Jan 2004

Parametric Classification In Domains Of Characters, Numerals, Punctuation, Typefaces And Image Qualities, Osama Ahmed Khan

Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA

This thesis contributes to the Optical Font Recognition problem (OFR), by developing a classifier system to differentiate ten typefaces using a single English character ā€˜eā€™. First, features which need to be used in the classifier system are carefully selected after a thorough typographical study of global font features and previous related experiments. These features have been modeled by multivariate normal laws in order to use parameter estimation in learning. Then, the classifier system is built up on six independent schemes, each performing typeface classification using a different method. The results have shown a remarkable performance in the field of font ā€¦
