Energy-Balance Heuristic Distributed Algorithm for Target Coverage in Wireless Sensor Networks with Adjustable Sensing Ranges
Authors: Hongwu Zhang
Venue: Proceedings of the 2009 Asia-Pacific Conference on Information Processing - Volume 02 (2009)

To maximize network lifetime for target coverage, we propose an energy-balance heuristic distributed algorithm with adjustable sensing ranges based energy-balance and energy-utility of sensor. Firstly, we transform the target coverage problem with adjustable sensing ranges into the h-hop local target coverage problem with adjustable sensing ranges. Secondly, we seek the key constraint of network lifetime, introduce the definition of key target, design the energy utility function, and establish the adaptive adjustment mechanism of waiting time. Finally, Measurement results show that the new algorithm extends 25% longer network lifetime, has good scalability and stability, and a lower computational and communication complexity.
Efficiency of Parallel Monte Carlo Method to Solve Nonlinear Coagulation Equation
Authors: Mikhail Marchenko
Venue: Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Parallel Computing Technologies (2009)

A parallel Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) algorithm to solve a spatially inhomogeneous nonlinear equation of coagulation is presented. The algorithm is based on simulating the evolution of stochastic test particles ensembles. The algorithm can be effectively implemented on parallel computers of different architectures including GRID infrastructure based on MPLS networks. A problem of minimizing the computational cost of the algorithm is considered. To implement the algorithm on GRID infrastructure we carry out preliminary simulation of an underlying network. Such simulation enables to define minimal network bandwidth necessary for efficient parallel decomposition of DSMC algorithm.
Theory of Computing Systems (TOCS) Submission Version Finding Most Likely Solutions
Authors: Mikael Onsj&#x00f6;, Osamu Watanabe
Venue: Theory of Computing Systems (2009)

As a framework for simple but basic statistical inference problems we introduce the genetic Most Likely Solution problem, the task of finding a most likely solution (MLS in short) for a given problem instance under some given probability model. Although many MLS problems are NP-hard, we propose for these problems, to study their average-case complexity under their assumed probability models. We show three examples of MLS problems, and show that &#x201c;message passing algorithms&#x201d; (e.g., belief propagation) work reasonably well for these problems. Some of the technical results of this paper are from the author&#x2019;s recent work (Watanabe and Yamamoto in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol. 4142, pp. 277&#x2013;282, 2006, and Onsj&#x00f6; and Watanabe in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol. 4288, pp. 507&#x2013;516, 2006).

Authors: Renran Tian, Vincent G. Duffy, Carol Birk, Steve R. Abel, Kyle Hultgren
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Digital Human Modeling: Held as Part of HCI International 2009 (2009)

Bar Code Medication Administration (BCMA) system has been adopted by healthcare providers. Besides its benefits in reducing medication errors, cost and time, various side effects and new medication errors have been reported; however, the nature of the new problems has not been studied systematically. Although there are many studies focusing on IT implementation, very few studies addressing technology acceptance have been done in healthcare context. Due to the complex and dynamic features of the healthcare system, it is necessary to study how new technology acceptance models can be applied in this field. In this study, a model related to BCMA implementation will be constructed to enable the prediction and control of medication error reduction and side effects generation. To achieve that, the relationship between different implementation measures will be studied, and then predictive variables will be selected to construct the model for different measures.
Symbolic Abstraction and Deadlock-Freeness Verification of Inter-enterprise Processes
Authors: Kais Klai, Samir Tata, Jörg Desel
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Business Process Management (2009)

The design of complex inter-enterprise business processes (IEBP) is generally performed in a modular way. Each process is designed separately from the others and then the whole IEBP is obtained by composition. Even if such a modular approach is intuitive and facilitates the design problem, it poses the problem that correct behavior of each business process of the IEBP taken alone does not guarantee a correct behavior of the composed IEBP (i.e. properties are not preserved by composition). Proving correctness of the (unknown) composed process is strongly related to the model checking problem of a system model. Among others, the symbolic observation graph based approach has proven to be very helpful for efficient model checking in general. Since it is heavily based on abstraction techniques and thus hides detailed information about system components that are not relevant for the correctness decision, it is promising to transfer this concept to the problem rised in this paper: How can the symbolic observation graph technique be adapted and employed for process composition? Answering this question is the aim of this paper.
New Challenges for Participation in Participatory Design in Family, Clinical and Other Asymmetrical, Non-work Settings
Authors: Olav Wedege Bertelsen, Per-Olof Hedvall
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th IFIP TC 13 International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction: Part II (2009)

Participatory design (PD) has taken as its ideal that designers and users should engage in an equal language game. When we apply PD in contexts where some of the users involved are weak, ill, or have impairments, this assumed equality can no longer be an ideal. The workshop explores new ideals for participatory design in non-work settings with highly heterogeneous user constellations.
Similarity Matches of Gene Expression Data Based on Wavelet Transform
Authors: Mong-Shu Lee, Mu-Yen Chen, Li-Yu Liu
Venue: Proceedings of the 16th Scandinavian Conference on Image Analysis (2009)

This study presents a similarity-determining method for measuring regulatory relationships between pairs of genes from microarray time series data. The proposed similarity metrics are based on a new method to measure structural similarity to compare the quality of images. We make use of the Dual-Tree Wavelet Transform (DTWT) since it provides approximate shift invariance and maintain the structures between pairs of regulation related time series expression data. Despite the simplicity of the presented method, experimental results demonstrate that it enhances the similarity index when tested on known transcriptional regulatory genes.

Fault-Tolerant Architecture for Peer to Peer Network Management Systems
Authors: Maryam Barshan, Mahmood Fathy, Saleh Yousefi
Venue: Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Smart Spaces and Next Generation Wired/Wireless Networking and Second Conference on Smart Spaces (2009)

In this paper we propose a 3-tier hierarchical architecture which is based on peer to peer model for network management purpose. The main focus of the proposed architecture is provisioning fault tolerance property which in turn leads to increasing the availability of the Network Management System (NMS). In each tier of the architecture we use redundancy to achieve the aforementioned goal. However we do not use redundant peers thus no peer redundancy is imposed to the system. Instead we use some selected peers in several roles and therefore only add some software redundancy which is easily tolerable by advanced processors of NMS's peers. Due to the hierarchal structure failure of nodes in each tier may affect NMS's availability differently. Therefore we examined the effect of failure of peers which play different roles in the architecture on the availability of the system by means of extensive simulation study. The results show that the proposed architecture offers higher availability in comparison to previously proposed peer to peer NMS. It also offered lower sensitivity to failure of nodes.
Knowledge-based interactive selling of financial services with FSAdvisor
Authors: Alexander Felfernig, Alfred Kiener
Venue: Proceedings of the 17th conference on Innovative applications of artificial intelligence - Volume 3 (2005)

In this paper we describe the knowledge-based recommender application FSAdvisor (Financial Services Advisor) which assists sales representatives in determining personalized financial service portfolios for their customers. Commercially introduced in 2003, FSAdvisor is licensed to a number of major financial service providers in Austria. It supports the dialog between a sales representative and a customer by guaranteeing the consistency and appropriateness of proposed solutions, identifying additional selling opportunities and by providing intelligent explanations for solutions. In the financial services domain (especially in the retail sector) sales representatives can differ greatly in their expertise and level of knowledge. Therefore financial service providers ask for tools effectively supporting sales representatives in the dialog with the customer. Knowledge-based recommender approaches meet these requirements by allowing an intuitive and flexible mapping of marketing and sales knowledge to the representation of a recommender knowledge base. In FSAdvisor we integrate model-based diagnosis, constraint satisfaction and personalization thus supporting customer-oriented sales dialogs. A graphical development environment enables the implementation of financial service knowledge bases for non-programmers which leads to significant reductions of development and maintenance costs.

Computational Nonlinear Dynamics Model of Percept Switching with Ambiguous Stimuli
Authors: Norbert Fürstenau
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Digital Human Modeling: Held as Part of HCI International 2009 (2009)

Simulation results of bistable perception due to ambiguous visual stimuli are presented which are obtained with a nonlinear dynamics model using delayed perception---attention---memory coupling. Percept reversals are induced by attention fatigue with an attention bias which balances the relative percept duration. Periodic stimulus simulations as a function of stimulus off-time yields the reversal rate variation in surprisingly good quantitative agreement with classical experimental results reported in the literature [1] when selecting a fatigue time constant of 1 --- 2 s. Coupling of the bias to the perception state introduces memory effects which are quantified through the Hurst parameter H, exhibiting significant long range correlations (H > 0.5) in agreement with recent experimental results [2]. Percept transition times of 150 --- 200 ms and mean percept dwell times of 3 --- 5 s as reported in the literature, are correctly predicted if a feedback delay of 40 ms is assumed as mentioned in the literature (e.g. [21]).
Energy based control of a hydromechanical system
Authors: Bernhard Ramsebner, Karl Rieger
Venue: Robotics and Autonomous Systems (2009)

This contribution deals with an energy based controller design for an under-actuated mechanical system with a hydraulic piston actuator. In particular, the example consists of a single acting piston actuator and a rigid mass between two springs. For the resulting system a static feedback control is designed based on energy consideration. Since the control algorithm requires the velocities, which are not measurable in this application, it is extended by a reduced observer. In addition, the stability of the desired equilibrium of the closed loop system is proven and the results are illustrated by simulation.

Authors: Rachel C. King, Douglas G. McIlwraith, Benny Lo, Julien Pansiot, Alison H. McGregor, Guang-Zhong Yang
Venue: Proceedings of the 2009 Sixth International Workshop on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks (2009)

This paper presents a prototype for monitoring the kinematics of the femur and lower back (sacrum and thoraco-lumbar junction) during rowing. Data is collected from inertial sensors attached to the rower and a simple yet relatively accurate method for determining the rotation of the lower back and femur in the sagittal plane is presented. We also present results from an initial validation experiment using an optical tracking system which demonstrate that it is possible to monitor rowers using the proposed sensors and identify some common poor rowing techniques. Due to their small size, wireless capability and lightweight characteristics, the proposed Body Sensor Network (BSN) system has the potential to be used during ergometer sessions and whilst training on the water.

Authors: Lu Xuechao, Xu Chunxiu, Wu Muqing, Zhen Yan, Wu Dapeng
Venue: Proceedings of the 2009 WASE International Conference on Information Engineering - Volume 01 (2009)

A load-balancing scheme has a significant effect on the performance of the multi-path routing protocol, especially in an ad hoc network environment. In order to analyze the effect on the distribution of input traffic among multiple paths in AODV-MP (Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing with Multi-Path), first of all, we give the essence of the AODV-MP, and then we design and realize a load-balancing algorithm based on AODV-MP made up of independent nodes, which source node distributes packets reasonably in the several paths according to the load state of the network. Finally we will employ OPNET to simulate the Multi-path routing protocol with load-balancing algorithm. Results of the simulation show that the load-balancing protocol can alleviate the congestion, decrease the end-to-end delay and increase the packet delivery ratio and throughput, thus the performance of multi-path routing protocol can be improved consequently.
