Designing a robust, queue model for networking architectures is both complex and challenging. Validity, fairness and generality are key success elements in each examined modeling scheme. In this paper, we present a working scheme refered to as Network Queue Set Theory (NQST), based on Continuous Time Markov Decision Process (CTMDP) and Set Theory. From this original work, we delineate the referenced...
Certain Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications such as patient monitoring, smart grid, and equipment condition monitoring require accurate estimation of specific WSN parameters such as end-to-end delay, reliability and power consumption. The estimation of these parameters calls for an accurate and lightweight WSN model that is suitable for the low processing capabilities of sensor nodes. In this...
Gene regulation studies reveal unknown biological functions in disease progression. As more time-course datasets become available, interactions among the regulators and their associated target genes may better describe the evolution of gene regulatory networks. Currently in many research studies, interaction delay is not considered. Such delay is embedded in the network due to the intrinsic temporal...
Closed-form model for the delay estimation of current-mode Resistance Inductance Capacitance (RLC) interconnects in VLSI circuits is presented. The existing Eudes model for interconnect transfer function approximation is extended and applied for further accurate estimation of delay. With the equivalent lossy interconnect transfer function, finite ramp responses are obtained and line delay is estimated...
This paper is concerned with the problem of networked fault detection for the networked control system (NCS). As for the output time delay in the feedback channels for the network between the plant and the controller, so at the controller site, the actual output of current time instant cannot be gotten. This paper makes use of self-adaptive predictor technique of online identification predicting the...
Quality of Service (QoS) based scheduling in Cognitive radio networks (CRN) is a pressing research problem. The objective of this work is to study the feasibility of using CRN for delay sensitive applications in the presence of primary users with random ON/OFF periods. The first contribution of this work is the modeling of a cognitive node as a Queuing system and characterization of the average delay...
As supply voltage is reduced, a power constrained test clock can be sped up in spite of the increased delay of the circuit. However, a large reduction in voltage makes the operation structurally constrained, requiring the clock to slow down. We determine an optimum supply voltage that allows fastest clock speed for a given power limit. Examples show that the test time can be reduced by as much as...
Period selection based techniques for resource distribution among concurrent control tasks have gained significant research interest in the last decade. The application of these techniques in the networked control environment may give rise to an asynchronous data communication between the sensor and the controller and may result in a variable delay in the loop. This work investigates the degrading...
The overall system cost and other considerations require that processors deliver high performance within a given power budget. Pipelining and supply voltage, both affect the performance and power consumption. Therefore, pipelining depth can be varied simultaneously with appropriate adjustments in supply voltage so as to keep power consumption constant while affecting performance of a processor. This...
Deployed high-latency anonymous communication systems conceal communication patterns using pool mixes as building blocks. These mixes are known to be vulnerable to Disclosure Attacks that uncover persistent relationships between users. In this paper we study the performance of the Least Squares Disclosure Attack (LSDA), an approach to disclosure rooted in Maximum Likelihood parameter estimation that...
Grid-shaped cellular models have gained popularity as an effective approach to understand physical systems. Despite their usefulness to describe complex behavior, many cellular models require large amounts of compute time, mainly due to its synchronous nature. Besides this, cellular models do not describe adequately most of existing physical systems whose nature is asynchronous. In this tutorial we...
This paper presents a Reconfigurable Parallel Prefix Ling Adder. The proposed design can be partitioned to perform as one 16 bit, two 8 bit and four 4 bit adders. We also propose a new architecture for Enhanced Flagged Binary Adder (EFBA) designs which reduces the delay of operation considerably. The new adders are, therefore, modifications of conventional Reconfigurable Carry Lookahead Adder (CLA)...
The problem of identifying dynamical models on the basis of measurement data is usually considered in a classical open-loop or closed-loop setting. In this paper this problem is generalized to linear dynamical systems that operate in a complex interconnection structure and the dynamical relationships between the measured variables signals need to be identified. It is shown that the classical Direct...
In this paper we discuss the rescheduling of trains on a large-scale railway network in the case of perturbations using a max-plus-linear system description. We study the structure of the system matrices and derive how this structure can be manipulated by the control variables. In addition, we show that this leads to a system matrix that is affine in the control variables and the timing parameters...
Timeout control is a simple mechanism used when direct feedback is either impossible, unreliable, or too costly, as is often the case in distributed systems. Its effectiveness is determined by a timeout threshold parameter and our goal is to quantify the effect of this parameter on the system behavior. In this paper, we extend previous results to the case where there are N transmitting nodes making...
Traditional industrial engineering techniques including mathematical models are not sufficient to examine sophisticated manufacturing systems such as semiconductor manufacturing. As such, simulation modeling is used extensively in the design and analysis of semiconductor manufacturing operations. This study explores the use of simulation modeling of single semiconductor toolsets. In the literature...
This study analyzes the transportation network of a major rail freight operator in order to obtain a model of delay propagation of trains connecting intermodal terminals. Operational management of a rail freight operator needs to take into account deviations due to unexpected events such as unplanned maintenance, strikes, railroad works, traffic congestion. The dispatcher makes train assignment decisions...
The effects of time delay in the continuous part of a pulse-modulated model of non-basal endocrine feedback regulation are investigated. Conditions for the existence and local orbital stability of periodical solutions with m impulses in the least period (m-cycles) are derived. Applied to the case of testosterone regulation in the human male, the model indicates that increasing time delays in the system...
Methods used for ordinary differential equations cannot generally be used to solve delay differential equation, which is reflected in the choice of suitable software. The paper shows possibilities of software solution of delay differential equations. The aim of the paper is to present the possibilities of current software packages and programme systems (e.g. Matlab, Maple, R). The paper further shows...
The primary objective of this study is to propose an interval type-2 controller design method for a class of nonlinear singular networked control systems encountering data-transmission delay and packet loss problems. This study assesses the stability analysis and design of the system controllers. First, the singular networked control systems are modeled as interval type-2 T-S fuzzy systems. The concept...
