Cardiac tractography consists in generating fiber paths for representing and visualizing cardiac fiber architecture. In this process, a large redundant number of fiber paths are usually generated in order to cover the whole myocardium. However, it is difficult to render and visualize dense fibers, and this poses problems for further qualitative and quantitative analysis of cardiac fiber structure...
Due to their properties such as high energy density, lithium-ion battery packs are more and more widespread for many kinds of applications. Although a classical Battery Management System (BMS) can improve the performance and safety of a battery pack, it cannot deal with issues related to aging and cell faults. This paper presents a fault-response approach for battery packs operating at the cell level...
The paper presented a data-centric, capability-focused and system engineering approach to facilitate the architecture modeling and computable experimentation of challenging SoS. Firstly, modeling the SoS architecture based on a set of architecture products and Activity-Based Methodology (ABM) using Object Process Methodology (OPM), which shows a system engineering thinking. Secondly, based on the...
This paper describes a novel agent-based battery management system for large battery packs. The proposed architecture enables a more resilient and flexible approach, where, for example, cell balancing is achieved through local coordination of neighboring cells. A framework for co-simulation Matlab/Simulink and JADE is also proposed to enable simulations where the physical system is modeled in Simulink...
Cache utilization is critical to performance in a chip-multiprocessor(CMP) system. A typical cache hierarchy in a CMP contains per-core private cache and a large shared last-level cache. How to schedule tasks to improve cache utilization is challenging. In this paper, we propose a cache-aware scheduling policy which improves cache performance by considering data reuse, memory footprint of co-scheduled...
A P2P volunteer computing system named PPVC is proposed. Its advantages are the flexible topology and the scalability. Volunteers are organized as a P2P network and a decentralized job scheduling method is utilized. It can accomplish an application efficiently under the dynamic changes of the P2P network condition. PPVC is built using an AOSE method and developed on the MAGE environment. The whole...
We have encountered two challenges when using the PACS system. First, PACS users are limited to certain bandwidths and locations. Second, Web PACS machine replacement is too costly, management is difficult, and better image stability is needed. There are also speed variations for different users at different locations. For instance, radiologists use medical image workstations with direct access to...
The objective of KMS is to support creation, transfer, and application of knowledge in organizations. Knowledge and knowledge management are complex and multi-faceted concepts. Thus, effective development and implementation of KMS requires a foundation in several rich literatures. This paper surveys KMS development using a literature review. The author hopes that the ideas, discussion, and research...
