Accurate Prediction Of Crosstalk For Rc Interconnects, Selahatti̇n Sayil, Merlyn Rudrapati
Accurate Prediction Of Crosstalk For Rc Interconnects, Selahatti̇n Sayil, Merlyn Rudrapati
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This work proposes an accurate crosstalk noise estimation method in the presence of multiple RC lines for use in design automation tools. The method correctly models the loading effects of non switching aggressors and aggressor tree branches using resistive shielding effect and realistic exponential input waveform. Noise peak and width expressions derived show very good results in comparison to HSPICE results. Results show that average error for noise peak is 4.1% and for the width is 6.8% while allowing for very fast analysis.
Voltage Control Of Self-Excited Induction Generator Using Genetic Algorithm, Dheeraj Joshi, Kanwarjit Singh Sandhu, Mahender Kumar Soni
Voltage Control Of Self-Excited Induction Generator Using Genetic Algorithm, Dheeraj Joshi, Kanwarjit Singh Sandhu, Mahender Kumar Soni
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Self-excited induction generators (SEIG) are found to be most suitable candidate for wind energy conversion application required at remote windy locations. Such generators are not able to maintain the terminal voltage with load as, a literature survey reveals, the voltage profile falls sharply with load. In this paper an attempt has been made to improve the voltage profile of a self-excited induction generator. A new methodology based upon Genetic Algorithm (GA) is proposed to compute the steady state performance of the model including core loss branch. Further efforts are made to control the terminal voltage under loaded conditions. Simulated results …

We model an electronic differential that will offer the best vehicle stability on a curved road. The proposed traction system consists of two permanent magnet synchronous (PMS) machines that ensure the drive of two back-driving wheels. The contribution of each wheel to the advance of the vehicle is represented by an element conveying the accumulation of mechanical coupling. The proposed control structure is based on the direct torque fuzzy control for each wheel-motor. Different simulations have been carried out: vehicle driven ons straight road, vehicle driven on straight road with slope, and vehicle driven over a road curved left and …
Parameter Identification Of A Separately Excited Dc Motor Via Inverse Problem Methodology, Mounir Hadef, Mohamed Rachid Mekideche
Parameter Identification Of A Separately Excited Dc Motor Via Inverse Problem Methodology, Mounir Hadef, Mohamed Rachid Mekideche
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Identification is considered to be among the main applications of inverse theory and its objective for a given physical system is to use data which is easily observable, to infer some of the geometric parameters which are not directly observable. In this paper, a parameter identification method using inverse problem methodology is proposed. The minimisation of the objective function with respect to the desired vector of design parameters is the most important procedure in solving the inverse problem. The conjugate gradient method is used to determine the unknown parameters, and Tikhonov's regularization method is then used to replace the original …

Recent advances in surface reconstruction algorithms allow surfaces to be built from contours lying on non-parallel planes. Such algorithms allow users to construct surfaces of similar quality more efficiently by using a small set of oblique contours, rather than many parallel contours. However, current medical imaging systems do not provide tools for sketching contours on oblique planes. In this paper, we take the first steps towards bridging the gap between the new surface reconstruction technologies and putting those methods to use in practice. We develop a novel interface for modeling surfaces from volume data by allowing the user to sketch …

Workflow middleware executes tasks orchestrated by rules defined in a carefully handcrafted static graph. Workflow management systems have proved effective for service-oriented business automation in stable, wired infrastructures. We introduce a radically new paradigm for workflow construction and execution called open workflow to support goal-directed coordination among physically mobile people and devices that form a transient community over an ad hoc wireless network. The quintessential feature of the open workflow paradigm is dynamic construction of custom, context-specific workflows in response to unpredictable and evolving circumstances by exploiting the knowledge and services available within a given spatiotemporal context. This paper introduces …

On Unusual Pixel Shapes And Image Motion, Nathan Jacobs, Stephen Schuh, Robert Pless
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
We introduce the integral-pixel camera model, where measurements integrate over large and potentially overlapping parts of the visual field. This models a wide variety of novel camera designs, including omnidirectional cameras, compressive sensing cameras, and novel programmable-pixel imaging chips. We explore the relationship of integral-pixel measurements with image motion and find (a) that direct motion estimation using integral-pixels is possible and in some cases quite good, (b) standard compressive-sensing reconstructions are not good for estimating motion, and (c) when we design image reconstruction algorithms that explicitly reason about image motion, they outperform standard compressive-sensing video reconstruction. We show experimental results …

Feedback Thermal Control For Real-Time Systems, Yong Fu, Nicholas Kottenstette, Yingming Chen, Chenyang Lu, Xenofon D. Koutsoukos, Hongan Wang
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
Thermal control is crucial to real-time systems as excessive processor temperature can cause system failure or unacceptable performance degradation due to hardware throttling. Real-time systems face significant challenges in thermal management as they must avoid processor overheating while still delivering desired real-time performance. Furthermore, many real-time systems must handle a broad range of uncertainties in system and environmental conditions. To address these challenges, this paper presents Thermal Control under Utilization Bound (TCUB), a novel thermal control algorithm specifically designed for real-time systems. TCUB employs a feedback control loop that dynamically controls both processor temperature and CPU utilization through task rate …

Radio Mapping For Indoor Environments, Octav Chipara, Gregory Hackmann, Chenyang Lu, William D. Smart
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
The efficient deployment and robust operation of many sensor network applications depend on deploying relays to ensure wireless coverage. Radio mapping aims to predict network coverage based on a small number of link measurements from sampled locations. Radio mapping is particularly challenging in complex indoor environments where walls significantly affect radio signal propagation. This paper makes the following key contributions to indoor radio mapping. First, our empirical study in an office building identifies a wall-classification model as the most effective model for indoor environments due to its balance between model complexity and accuracy. Second, we propose a practical algorithm to …

Submodular Utility Optimization In Sensor Networks For Capacity Constraints, You Xu, Yixin Chen, Chenyang Lu, Sangeeta Bhattacharya, Abu Saifullah
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
With the fast development of wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies, WSNs have widely shifted from a specialized platform for a single application to an integrated infrastructure supporting multiple applications. It is hence a critical problem to allocate multiple applications to multiple sensors in order to maximize user utility subject to various resource constraints. The resulting constrained optimization problem is difficult since it is discrete, nonlinear, and not in closed-form. In this report, we develop an efficient optimization algorithm with rigorous approximation bounds for submodular monotonic optimization with multiple knapsack constraints. Based on a variance reduction formulation, we prove several important …

All Computer Science and Engineering Research
Workflows, widely used on the Internet today, typically consist of a graph-like structure that defines the orchestration rules for executing a set of tasks, each of which is matched at run-rime to a corresponding service. The graph is static, specialized directories enable the discovery of services, and the wired infrastructure supports routing of results among tasks. In this paper we introduce a radically new paradigm for workflow construction and execution called open workflow. It is motivated by the growing reliance on wireless ad hoc networks in settings such as emergency response, field hospitals, and military operations. Open workflows facilitate goal-directed …
A Simple Algorithm For Triconnectivity Of A Multigraph, Abusayeed Saifullah, Alper Ungor
A Simple Algorithm For Triconnectivity Of A Multigraph, Abusayeed Saifullah, Alper Ungor
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
Vertex-connectivity and edge-connectivity represent the extent to which a graph is connected. Study of these key properties of graphs plays an important role in varieties of computer science applications. Recent years have witnessed a number of linear time 3-edge-connectivity algorithms - with increasing simplicity. In contrast, the state-of-the-art algorithm for 3-vertex-connectivity due to Hopcroft and Tarjan lacks the simplicity in the sense of ease of implementation as well as the number of passes over the graph although its time and space complexity is theoretically linear. In this paper, we propose a linear time reduction from 3-vertex-connectivity to 3-edge- connectivity of …
Partial Order Based Reduction In Planning: A Unifying Theory And New Algorithms, You Xi, Yixin Chen
Partial Order Based Reduction In Planning: A Unifying Theory And New Algorithms, You Xi, Yixin Chen
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
Partial order based reduction (POR) has recently attracted research in planning. POR algorithms reduce search space by recognizing interchangable orders between actions and expanding only a subset of all possible orders during the search. POR has been extensively studied in model checking and proved to be an enabling technique for reducing the search space and costs. Recently, two POR algorithms, including the expansion core (EC) and stratified planning (SP) algorithms, have been proposed. Being orthogonal to the development of accurate heuristic functions, these reduction methods show great potential to improve the planning efficiency from a new perspective. However, it is …

In the last few years, there has been active research on aggregating advanced statistical measures in multidimensional data cubes from partitioned subsets of data. In this paper, we propose an online compression and aggregation scheme to support Bayesian estimations in data cubes based on the asymptotic properties of Bayesian statistics. In the proposed approach, we compress each data segment by retaining only the model parameters and a small amount of auxiliary measures. We then develop an aggregation formula that allows us to reconstruct the Bayesian estimation from partitioned segments with a small approximation error. We show that the Bayesian estimates …

Non-Programmers Identifying Functionality In Unfamiliar Code: Strategies And Barriers, Paul Gross, Caitlin Kelleher
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
Source code on the web is a widely available and potentially rich learning resource for non-programmers. However, unfamiliar code can be daunting to end-users without programming experience. This paper describes the results of an exploratory study in which we asked non-programmers to find and modify the code responsible for specific functionality within unfamiliar programs. We present two interacting models of how non-programmers approach this problem: the Task Process Model and the Landmark-Mapping model. Using these models, we describe code search strategies non-programmers employed and the difficulties they encountered. Finally, we propose guidelines for future programming environments that support non-programmers in …

Augmented Lagrangian Algorithms Under Constraint Partitioning, You Xu, Yixin Chen
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
We present a novel constraint-partitioning approach for solving continuous nonlinear optimization based on augmented Lagrange method. In contrast to previous work, our approach is based on a new constraint partitioning theory and can handle global constraints. We employ a hyper-graph partitioning method to recognize the problem structure. We prove global convergence under assumptions that are much more relaxed than previous work and solve problems as large as 40,000 variables that other solvers such as IPOPT [11] cannot solve.

This report describes the Supercharged Planetlab Platform (SPP), a system designed as a prototype of an internet-scale overlay hosting platform. Overlay networks have become an important vehicle for delivering Internet applications. Overlay network nodes are typically implemented using general purpose servers or clusters. The SPP offers a more integrated architecture, combining general-purpose servers with high performance Network Processor (NP) subsystems. SPP nodes have recently been deployed as part of the Global Environment for Network Innovation (GENI) and are available for use by research users.

Scalable Scheduling Policy Design For Open Soft Real-Time Systems, Robert Glaubius, Terry Tidewell, Braden Sidoti, David Pilla, Justin Meden, Christopher Gill, William D. Smart
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
Open soft real-time systems, such as mobile robots, must respond adaptively to varying operating conditions, while balancing the need to perform multiple mission specific tasks against the requirement that those tasks complete in a timely manner. Setting and enforcing a utilization target for shared resources is a key mechanism for achieving this behavior. However, because of the uncertainty and non-preemptability of some tasks, key assumptions of classical scheduling approaches do not hold. In previous work we presented foundational methods for generating task scheduling policies to enforce proportional resource utilization for open soft real-time systems with these properties. However, these methods …

Design And Evaluation Of A Practical, High Performance Crossbar Scheduler, Jonathan Turner
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
The Least Occupied Output First (LOOFA) scheduler is one of several unbuffered crossbar schedulers that provides strong performance guarantees when operated with a speedup of 2 or more. Because LOOFA requires the computation of a maximal matching, it has been considered too slow for use in systems with link rates of 10 Gb/s or more. This paper studies an approximate variant of LOOFA described briefly in [16]. We introduce a general family of schedulers that allows for partial sorting and that includes the LOOFA scheduler as a special case. We show that all schedulers in this class are work-conserving and …

3d Reconstruction Using Multi-View Imaging System, Conglin Huang
University of Kentucky Master's Theses
This thesis presents a new system that reconstructs the 3D representation of dental casts. To maintain the integrity of the 3D representation, a standard model is built to cover the blind spots that the camera cannot reach. The standard model is obtained by scanning a real human mouth model with a laser scanner. Then the model is simplified by an algorithm which is based on iterative contraction of vertex pairs. The simplified standard model uses a local parametrization method to obtain the curvature information. The system uses a digital camera and a square tube mirror in front of the camera …

Geodesic Grassfire For Computing Mixed-Dimensional Skeletons, Lu Liu, Tao Ju
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
Skeleton descriptors are commonly used to represent, understand and process shapes. While existing methods produce skeletons at a fixed dimension, such as surface or curve skeletons for a 3D object, often times objects are better described using skeleton geometry at a mixture of dimensions. In this paper we present a novel algorithm for computing mixed-dimensional skeletons. Our method is guided by a continuous analogue that extends the classical grassfire erosion. This analogue allows us to identify medial geometry at multiple dimensions, and to formulate a measure that captures how well an object part is described by medial geometry at a …

Many compute-bound software kernels have seen order-of-magnitude speedups on special-purpose accelerators built on specialized architectures such as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). These architectures are particularly good at implementing dynamic programming algorithms that can be expressed as systems of recurrence equations, which in turn can be realized as systolic array designs. To efficiently find good realizations of an algorithm for a given hardware platform, we pursue software tools that can search the space of possible parallel array designs to optimize various design criteria. Most existing design tools in this area produce a design that is latency-space optimal. However, we instead wish …

The Virtual Network Scheduling Problem For Heterogeneous Network Emulation Testbeds, Charlie Wisemen, Jonathan Turner
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
Network testbeds such as Emulab and the Open Network Laboratory use virtualization to enable users to define end user virtual networks within a shared substrate. This involves mapping users' virtual network nodes onto distinct substrate components and mapping virtual network links onto substrate paths. The mappings guarantee that different users' activities can not interfere with one another. The problem of mapping virtual networks onto a shared substrate is a variant of the general graph embedding problem, long known to be NP-hard. In this paper, we focus on a more general version of the problem that supports advance scheduling of virtual …

Networking research funding agencies in the USA, Europe, Japan, and other countries are encouraging research on revolutionary networking architectures that may or may not be bound by the restrictions of the current TCP/IP based Internet. We present a comprehensive survey of such research projects and activities. The topics covered include various testbeds for experimentations for new architectures, new security mechanisms, content delivery mechanisms, management and control frameworks, service architectures, and routing mechanisms. Delay/Disruption tolerant networks, which allow communications even when complete end-to-end path is not available, are also discussed.

Defending Against Distributed Denial-Of-Service Attacks With Weight-Fair Router Throttling, Abusayeed Saifullah
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
A high profile internet server is always a target of denial-of-service attacks. In this paper, we propose a novel technique for protecting an internet server from distributed denial-of-service attacks. The defense mechanism is based on a distributed algorithm that performs weight-fair throttling at the upstream routers. The throttling is weight-fair because the traffics destined for the server are controlled increased or decreased ) by the leaky-buckets at the routers based on the number of users connected, directly or through other routers, to each router. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first weight-fair technique for saving an internet …

Magnetic spin valve devices enable the design of logic and memory elements that are suitable for use when constructing digital systems. A master-slave flip-flop design is proposed that can be clocked using an externally applied global magnetic field. With an external global clock, the digital system no longer needs to deliver the clock on-chip, thereby eliminating the need for a clock distribution network. We assess the power, area, and speed implications associated with the ability to eliminate the clock distribution network on a hybrid CMOS-magnetologic digital system.
