Scalable and Efficient Key Agreement Protocols for Secure Multicast Communication in MANETs
(2002)
In this paper protocols for group key distribution are compared and evaluated from the point of view of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). A MANET is a collection of wireless mobile nodes, communicating among themselves over ...
Broadcast Scheduling for Push Broadcast Systems with Arbitrary Cost Functions
(2007)
In this report the problem of broadcast scheduling in Push broadcast systems is studied. We introduce an optimization approach that leads to well justified policies for Push broadcast systems with generalized cost functions. ...
HYBRID NETWORKS WITH A SPACE SEGMENT - TOPOLOGY DESIGN AND SECURITY ISSUES
(2005)
In this paper we investigate a hybrid network topology that is suitable for supporting interplanetary communications. We define an architecture comprised of a network of sensor nodes on a remote planetary surface, connected ...
Fast Error-Free Algorithms for Polynomial Matrix Computations
(1990)
Polynomial matrices over fields and rings provide a unifying framework for many control system design problems. These include dynamic compensator design, infinite dimensional systems, controllers for nonlinear systems, and ...
Fast Evaluation of Demagnetizing Field in Three Dimensional Micromagnetics using Multipole Approximation
(2001)
Computational micromagnetics in three dimensions is of increasing interest with the development of magnetostrictivesensors and actuators. <p>In solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation, the governing equation of ...
Control of Smart Actuators: A Viscosity Solutions Approach
(2001)
Hysteresis in smart materials hinders their wider applicability in actuators. In this report we investigate control of smart actuators through the example of controlling a commercially available magnetostrictive actuator. ...
Convergence of a Neural Network Classifier
(1990)
Kohonen's Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) is a neural network architecture that performs nonparametric classification. It classifies observations by comparing them to k templates called Voronoi vectors. The locations ...
A Dynamic Optimization Approach to the Scheduling Problem in Satellite and Wireless Broadcast Systems
(2002)
The continuous growth in the demand for access to information andthe increasing number of users of the information delivery systemshave sparked the need for highly scalable systems with moreefficient usage of the bandwidth. ...
Adaptive Identification and Control of Hysteresis in Smart Material Actuators
(2003)
Hysteresis exhibited by smart materials hinders their wider applicability in actuators and sensors. In this paper methods are studied for recursive identification and adaptive inverse control of smart material actuators, ...
Tool Wear Estimation from Acoustic Emissions: A Model Incorporating Wear Rate
(2001)
Almost all prior work on modeling the dependence of acoustic emissions on tool wear have concentrated on the effect of wear-level on the sound. We give justification for including the wear-rate information contained in the ...
