Update Propagation Strategies for Improving the Quality of Data on the Web
(2001)
Dynamically generated web pages are ubiquitous today but their high demand for resources creates a huge scalability problem at the servers. Traditional web caching is not able to solve this problem since it cannot provide ...
Advanced Phase-Contrast Techniques for Wavefront Sensing and Adaptive Optics
(2001)
High-resolution phase-contrast wavefront sensors based on optically addressed phase spatial light modulators and micro-mirror/LC arrays areintroduced. Wavefront sensor efficiency is analyzed for atmosphericturbulence-induced ...
The Simulation of the Movement of Fish Schools
(2001)
In this paper, I explain a school behavior model, which was constructed by Aoki, Huth, and Wissel, used to describe the motion of schools of fish. Schools of fish are characterized by strong cohesion and high parallel ...
Fabrication of Microfluidic Devices for Rapid Screening of Biological Agents
(2001)
In this paper, design and fabrication techniques are presented for a new microfluidic device that can be used for a wide variety of biological applications. The device consists of a channel as well as inlet and outlet ...
A Primal-Dual Interior-Point Method for Nonlinear Programming with Strong Global and Local Convergence Properties
(2001)
A scheme---inspired from an old idea due to Mayne and Polak (Math. Prog.,vol.~11, 1976, pp.~67--80)---is proposed for extending to general smoothconstrained optimization problems a previously proposed feasibleinterior-point ...
On System Designs of Distributed, Extensible Framework for Network Monitoring and Control
(2001)
In this paper, we present a distributed, extensible framework for supporting adaptive, dynamic network monitoring and control. We borrow the paradigm of management by delegation [8] and distribute some processing intelligence ...
Energy-Efficient Routing for Connection-Oriented Traffic in Wireless Ad-hoc Networks
(2001)
We address the problem of routing connection-oriented traffic in wireless ad-hoc networks with energy efficiency. We outlinethe trade-offs that arise by the flexibility of wireless nodes totransmit at different power levels ...
QoS Routing for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(2001)
A Quality-of-Service (QoS) routing protocol is developed for mobile ad hoc networks. It can establish QoS routes with reserved bandwidth in a network employing TDMA. An efficient algorithmfor calculating the end-to-end ...
Low Connectivity Network Design on Series-Parallel Graphs
(2001)
Network survivability is a critical issue for modern fiber-optic telecommunication networks. Networks with alternate routes between pairs of nodes permit users to communicate in the face of equipment failure. In this paper, ...
A Relationship Between Quantization and Watermarking Rates in the Presence of Gaussian Attacks
(2001)
A system which embeds watermarksin n-dimensional i.i.d. Gaussian images and distributesthem in compressed form is studied.The performance of the system in the presence of Gaussianattacks is considered, and the region of ...
