In this paper, we address the problem of evaluating the aggregated services offered to the user through a multimodal travel planner. The effective design of a multimodal travel planner is considered a complex task since it requires the identification of the best possible route that combines segments of different transport modes. We describe a novel architecture and its respective connectivity infrastructure...
Clinical summarization means the collection and synthesis of a patient's significant data, undertaken in order to support health-care providers in the process of patient care. Considering that medical information comes from multiple sources, a system for the automatic generation of problem lists could prove to be very effective in terms of saving time in the analysis of large amounts of medical data...
Field polynomial division can be found in applications such as error detection and data encoding for digital communication systems. In addition, it implements the extended Euclidean algorithm (EEA), which can be used as the field inversion building block of elliptic curve cryptosystem. The unpredictability of the iterative algorithm of polynomial division in the EEA-Based field inversion results in...
The Internet of Things (IoT) includes billions of things, i.e., connected objects and devices that are heterogeneous, distributed, and possibly intelligent and run applications and services from the Internet of Services (IoS). Things span, for instance, RFID tags, sensors, computers, plants, lamps, autonomous robots, and self-driving vehicles. Often, things are connected through heterogeneous platforms...
Feature fusion methods have been demonstrated to be effective for many computer vision based applications. These methods generally use multiple hand-crafted features. However, in recent days, features extracted through transfer leaning procedures have been proved to be robust than the hand-crafted features in myriad applications, such as object classification and recognition. The transfer learning...
Provides an abstract of the tutorial presentation and a brief professional biography of the presenter. The complete presentation was not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings.
The world today is becoming smart in-terms of technology. Internet of Things is an enabler for smart world. However the problem with internet of Things is that they are devices which support heterogeneous methods of communication. Another problem is that the existing network is already loaded and the surge of data increase once more and more devices are connected will be enormous. In this paper we...
Instead of the current trend consisting of building larger and larger data centers (DCs) in few strategic locations, the DISCOVERY initiative proposes to leverage any network point of presences (PoP, i.e., a small or medium-sized network center) available through the Internet. The key idea is to demonstrate a widely distributed Cloud platform that can better match the geographical dispersal of users...
This editorial introduces the first selection of papers in IEEE-RITA from the FIE annual conference held in 2014. It publishes an overview of the FIE coverage of issues and topics inside their engineering coverage of Latin American countries, and of the solutions and vision they provide worldwide and for the Region.
If the computing industry wants to continue to make scalability the primary source of value in tomorrow's computing systems, we will have to quickly find new and productive ways to scale the serial portions of important applications. In this talk, I will highlight my work and the work of others to do just this through the application of heterogeneous parallel designs. Of course, we will want to address...
In this paper, the problem of spare core position when faults occur at core on Network on Chip (NoC) is proposed. More precisely, a fine grained spare core position is proposed, which goes for enhancing the entire system performance and communication energy consumption, while considering the occurrence of permanent, transient and intermittent faults in the system. This method finds the spare core...
Web services are the key technologies for the web applications developed using Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). There are many challenges involved in implementing web services. Some of them are web service selection and discovery which involves matchmaking and finding the most suitable web service from a large collection of functionally-equivalent web services. In this paper a fuzzy-based approach...
Cloud computing has been established as a novel approach for computing where virtualized resources are available on demand. This permits the user to concentrate on the functional area and frees her/him from the burden of setting up data centers, hardware, software, network and licensing etc. Cloud computing helps in cost saving, easy accessibility, security, and 24×7 availability of resources to the...
Currently there is a large amount of educational resources available, developed by many educational institutions at all level. One of the main challenges is to make use of such wealth of material in a simple and effective way, especially when pre-university education is involved, ranging from primary schools to high schools. The main difficulties experienced by the teachers willing to tailor the available...
In this paper, a novel formalized teaching method is presented for encouraging excellence in undergraduate student performance. This approach is a modified implementation of the teaching method used at the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command, which was made more appropriate for civilian engineering undergraduate students. The objective of this method is to prepare students academically, creatively,...
Digital logic design is an essential topic in the computer science curriculum. A major challenge in teaching the logic design is to have the students connect their theoretical knowledge with the practical experience. Many useful computer programs are available that can help overcome this issue while covering various aspects of the logic design. The programs range from simple simulators to advanced...
Cloud Computing researches involve a tremendous amount of entities such as users, applications, and virtual machines. Due to the limited access and often variable availability of such resources, researchers have their prototypes tested against the simulation environments, opposed to the real cloud environments. Existing cloud simulation environments such as CloudSim and EmuSim are executed sequentially,...
Routers in the Content-Centric Networking (CCN) architecture maintain state for all pending content requests, so as to be able to later return the corresponding content. By employing stateful forwarding, CCN supports native multicast, enhances security and enables adaptive forwarding, at the cost of excessive forwarding state that raises scalability concerns. We propose a semi-stateless forwarding...
