The human skin is the largest organ in the body which interacts with the environment and protects the body from excessive water loss, attacks by pathogens or abrasion from outside. Both cosmetic and pharma industries quite often have contrasting needs, that is, cosmetic industry desires that the lotion/prescription applied should not penetrate through the skin, whereas, in pharmaceutical industry...
We investigate three extensions to the generative similarity-based classifier called local similarity discriminant analysis (local SDA): a Bayesian approach to estimating the pmfs based on the assumption that similarities are multinomially distributed and on the Dirichlet prior distribution; a pairwise-similarity formulation of local SDA that accounts for all local pairwise similarities to estimate...
Distributed simulation techniques are commonly used to improve the speed and scalability of wireless sensor network simulators. However, accurate simulations of dynamic interactions of sensor network applications incur large synchronization overheads and severely limit the performance of existing distributed simulators. In this paper, we present two novel techniques that significantly reduce such...
The advent of multicores presents a promising opportunity for speeding up sequential programs via profile-based speculative parallelization of these programs. In this paper we present a novel solution for efficiently supporting software speculation on multicore processors. We propose the Copy or Discard (CorD) execution model in which the state of speculative parallel threads is maintained separately...
Traditionally, dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) techniques have focused on minimizing the processor energy consumption as opposed to the entire system energy consumption. The slowdown resulting from DVS can increase the energy consumption of components like memory and network interfaces. Furthermore, the leakage power consumption is increasing with the scaling device technology and must also be taken...
