Solar power plays a significant and sometimes primary role in the energy budgets of many terrestrial sensor systems due to its reliability, power density, and simplicity. More importantly, photoelectric generation can be accurately predicted for a given terrestrial location. This knowledge of expected harvested power is critical for both provisioning in design and scheduling of activities in operations...
Terrestrial sensor systems and platforms regularly rely on photovoltaic cells as their primary power source. With a rechargeable battery backup, solar modules provide these remote sensor systems with reliable, simple, and predictable power. For these terrestrial systems, power predictions are well established and engineers developing power budgets have multiple avenues for estimating daily average...
It is a grand challenge to reveal the causal effects of DNA variants in complex phenotypes. Although statistical techniques can establish correlations between genotypes and phenotypes in Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS), they often fail when the variant is rare. The emerging Network-based Association Studies aim to address this shortcoming in statistical analysis, but are mainly applied to coding...
Enabled by modern languages and retargetable compilers, software development is in a virtual “Cambrian explosion” driven by a critical mass of powerfully parameterized libraries; but hardware development practices lag far behind. We hypothesize that existing hardware construction languages (HCLs) and novel hardware compiler frameworks (HCFs) can put hardware development on a similar evolutionary path...
An interleaved multi-phase converter with coupled inductor can achieve high power density and high efficiency, and is an effective approach for high power applications. However, a number of phases also results in the fact that component counts are increased. In this paper, the downsizing performances when the number of phase change in a multi-phase DC-DC converter with 2-phase coupled inductor cell...
In this paper, the dynamic and electric analysis of a novel electrostatically actuated microdevice is presented. This device consist of an arrangement of four parallel microcantilevers, which is fed with 1 V. The analysis was carried out by Finite Element Method (FEM) in Ansys Workbench in order to obtain: current intensity, temperature distribution, Joule effect, structural deformation, natural frequency,...
It is found that the GARCH (1,1) model has a good fitting effect on the time series by the statistical analysis of the logarithmic yield of the closing price of the Shanghai Composite Index. Therefore, this paper first uses the model GARCH (1,1) predicts the daily closing price of the Shanghai Composite Index, and then uses the Fourier series to correct the predicted residuals to obtain the final...
The end of Dennard scaling has led to an increase in demand for energy-efficient custom hardware accelerators, but current hardware design is slow and laborious, partly because each iteration of the compile-run-debug cycle can take hours or even days with existing simulation and emulation platforms. Cyclist is a new emulation platform designed specifically to shorten the total compile-run-debug cycle...
The development of renewable energy technologies is an inevitable requirement to cope with environmental, economic and political challenges. Solar energy is regarded as one of the most promising types among renewable energy sources. So, the characterization of solar parameters is a significant process in solar energy installations. In this paper, we use three different curve fitting methods called...
We present RDCL 3D, a “model agnostic” web framework for the design and composition of NFV services and components. The framework allows editing and validating the descriptors of services and components both textually and graphically and supports the interaction with external orchestrators or with deployment and execution environments. RDCL 3D is open source and designed with a modular approach, allowing...
The modeling, simulation and analysis of the energy conversion equations describing the behavior of a hybrid system PV and wind turbine, hybrid system for electrical power generation. A numerical model based on the aforementioned equations was developed, coded and results were compared to experimental data. The model is intended to be used as an optimization and design tool for such hybrid systems...
The design of a data network based on polymer optical fibers (POF) for aircraft applications involves safety-critical risks due to the unknown functional and performance requirements for the reliability and fail safe operations of the physical layer of the POF network. The physical layer of a POF network consists of entirely different components compared to the existing silica fiber-based physical...
With the fast development of the social economy and the improving diverse material life, the demand for a much higher quality of living environment is increasing, thus, the importance to design the urban landscaping for a city is superior to that of the city planning and its ecological environment. Considering the circumstances that the extensive pattern of management in urban landscaping and the...
In daily work, personnel scheduling is a common and realistic problem. The so-called scheduling problem, in essence, is the process of working schedule according to the work plan, which produces a period of time to meet certain constraints. Fair and reasonable scheduling results are of great significance to mobilize staff's enthusiasm and improve work efficiency, and can bring great economic benefits...
Because of the crisis of unexpected events, data sources are complex and diverse. The application of the phrase weight measurement technique and the network user free marking technology in large data technology, transform the multimodal crisis information into a single information source, An integrated model for the extraction of crisis information was established. The integrative course includes...
Simulation is one of the main tools used to analyze new proposals in the Network-on-Chip (NoC) field. Among these simulators for analyzing and testing new ideas in NoC architectures, the Noxim simulator stands out, being used by many researchers due to the wireless support and open-source availability. An important issue at the simulation phase is the choice of workload, as it may affect testing the...
Cloud Computing has emerged as a popular technology that support computing on demand services by allowing users to follow the pay-per-use-on-demand model. Minimizing energy consumption in cloud systems has many benefits that enable green computing. Energy aware task scheduling in cloud to the users by service cloud providers has non negligible influences on optimal resources utilization and thereby...
This paper demonstrates a methodology for how the organizations that employ complex enterprise systems of systems can significantly improve cyber defense while decreasing overall operating costs by using formal methods. The paper demonstrates an approach that uses an event-based methodology to formalize all types of enterprise behavior, to include system, human, and environmental events.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are composed of computing devices interacting with physical systems. Model-based design is a powerful methodology in CPS design in the implementation of control systems. For instance, Model Predictive Control (MPC) is typically implemented in CPS applications, e.g., in path tracking of autonomous vehicles. MPC deploys a model to estimate the behavior of the physical system...
