Soft errors caused by ionizing radiation have emerged as a major concern for current generation of CMOS technologies and the trend is expected to get worse. Soft error rate (SER) measurement, expressed as number of failures encountered per billion hours of device operation, is time consuming and involves significant test cost. The cost stems from having to connect a device-under-test to a tester for...
The research presented in this paper aims at developing and validating a predictive tool of individual exposure to solar Ultra-Violet (UV). UV exposure depends on ambient irradiation level and individual factors related to activity (position to the sun, clothing, duration of exposure, and other forms of sun protection). We predict exposure levels of body parts on basis of ambient irradiation levels...
Building on the extensive research in Virtual Reality (VR), we are proposing a new dynamic prototype for modelling and simulating carbon emissions in a virtual village called VIRVIL. VIRVIL is a simulated settlement for the assessment of the impact of low and zero carbon technologies and measures in the built environment. The prototype will focus on the impact on the community as a whole, as well...
A fast macroblock mode selection algorithm based on inter-view global disparity is proposed to improve the encoder efficiency of JMVM, with insignificant degradation in picture quality and bit rate increase. The proposed fast mode selection algorithm promotes the encoding speed through partly searching method when encoding most of the frames in multiview video sequence. The macroblock mode of current...
This paper describes a benchmarking workload model for business process execution language (BPEL) engines for Web services. The proposed model is based on simulation of real world traffic conditions by defining a set of requirements which best characterize the end-users. The performance characteristics are evaluated on top of collected measurements such as success/fail rate, response times or round-trip...
This paper describes and discusses a novel approach that uses artificial neural networks (ANN) to extend the measurement range of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) interrogators based on fixed narrowband filter demodulation. Interrogators with fixed spectral filters use only one edge of the filter to demodulate the signal. The proposed method uses narrowband FBG's filters, where both edges of the entire...
Compliance management (CM) is the management process that an organization implements to ensure organizational compliance with relevant requirements and expectations. Compliance auditing (CA) is a child-process of CM where compliance rules and policies are individually checked against the organization to determine the level of compliance achieved by the organization. In this paper, we arrange organizational...
