Aspects Of Information Flow, Andrew P. Black, Jonathan Walpole Jun 2000

Aspects Of Information Flow, Andrew P. Black, Jonathan Walpole

Computer Science Faculty Publications and Presentations

Along with our colleagues at the Oregon Graduate Institute and Georgia Institute of Technology, we have recently been experimenting with real-rate systems, that is, systems that are required to move data from one place to another at defined rates, such as 30 items per second. Audio conferencing or streaming video systems are typical: they are required to deliver video or audio frames from a source (a server or file system) in one place to a sink (a display or a sound generator) in another; the frames must arrive periodically, with constrained latency and jitter. We have successfully built such systems …

Application Of Control Theory To Modeling And Analysis Of Computer Systems, Molly H. Shor, Kang Li, Jonathan Walpole, David Steere, Calton Pu Jun 2000

Application Of Control Theory To Modeling And Analysis Of Computer Systems, Molly H. Shor, Kang Li, Jonathan Walpole, David Steere, Calton Pu

Experimentally, we show that Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)’s congestion control algorithm results in dynamic behavior similar to a stable limit cycle (attractor) when data from TCP flow into a fixed-size buffer and data is removed from the buffer at a fixed service rate. This setup represents how TCP buffers packets for transmission onto the network, with the network represented by a fixed-size buffer with a fixed service rate. The closed trajectory may vary slightly from period to period due to the discrete nature of computer systems. The size of the closed trajectory is a function of the network’s buffer size …

Accessing Timesheets Via Internet Through Asp And Odbc, Varshi Challa Jan 2000

Accessing Timesheets Via Internet Through Asp And Odbc, Varshi Challa

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this project is to develop a computerized timesheet application. Using this application, an employee of a company can log onto the company's Web site and fill out a timesheet from anywhere in the world. The project involved automating timesheet data entry and approval procedures using contemporary technologies like Active Server Pages (ASP), JavaScript, VB Script, Component Object Model (COM), Components and Open Database connectivity (ODBC).

The Application Of Object-Oriented Techniques To Preliminary Design Problems, Patrick S. Mackessy Jan 2000

The Application Of Object-Oriented Techniques To Preliminary Design Problems, Patrick S. Mackessy

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

Preliminary structural design is an early stage in building design during which the engineer formulates and assesses a number of different structural schemes. It is conceptual in nature and involves decision making, which relies on heuristics. Whilst preliminary structural design has not been well supported by PC software, recent research has indicated the potential for knowledge-based, object-oriented systems to assist in the area. This thesis explores the issues that arise when object-oriented techniques arc used to develop knowledge-based software. lt reviews certain basic principles of structural design, methods of representing structural design knowledge and earlier approaches to the design of …

Pc-Based Atm Network Simulator, Weei Shan Lai Jan 2000

Pc-Based Atm Network Simulator, Weei Shan Lai

Student Works (2000-2009)

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) has emerged as a very high-speed transmission technology. The barrage of technological advancements has continuously enhanced the network performance. There is an increasing dependence on the network. Thus, there is a need to accurately predict the impact of network and applications changes in the dynamic network environment. The project is divided into two parts: Part one: Study the concept of ATM and the important issues regarding it. Various existing simulators and applications on A TM are studied to plan for an up to date simulator. Part two: Develop a PC Based simulator. This is motivated by …

Supervised Adaptive Resonance Theory And Rules, Ah-Hwee Tan Jan 2000

Supervised Adaptive Resonance Theory And Rules, Ah-Hwee Tan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Supervised Adaptive Resonance Theory is a family of neural networks that performs incremental supervised learning of recognition categories (pattern classes) and multidimensional maps of both binary and analog patterns. This chapter highlights that the supervised ART architecture is compatible with IF-THEN rule-based symbolic representation. Specifi­cally, the knowledge learned by a supervised ART system can be readily translated into rules for interpretation. Similarly, a priori domain knowl­edge in the form of IF-THEN rules can be converted into a supervised ART architecture. Not only does initializing networks with prior knowl­edge improve predictive accuracy and learning efficiency, the inserted symbolic knowledge can also …
