In this paper proposed bucket based data deduplication technique is presented. In proposed technique bigdata stream is given to the fixed size chunking algorithm to create fixed size chunks. When the chunks are obtained then these chunks are given to the MD5 algorithm module to generate hash values for the chunks. After that MapReduce model is applied to find whether hash values are duplicate or not...
Consider a target search problem on a unit interval where at any given time an agent can choose a region to probe into for the presence of the target in that region. The measurement noise is assumed to be increasing with the size of the search region the agent chooses. In this paper, a single-phase sequential and adaptive search algorithm is proposed and shown to achieve the best possible targeting...
The paper addresses the problem of power distribution grids optimization in terms of reducing costs related to undelivered energy due to network failures. Grid optimization is realized by allocating the cut points that may limit the effects of the failure on the network operation. A possible method of allocating these points, explored in this work, is the optimization of the grid structure using evolutionary...
Algebraic-geometric (AG) codes have long been considered as a possible candidate to replace Reed-Solomon (RS) codes. However, their decoding remains complex and infeasible to implement. Addressing this challenge, our paper proposes a low-complexity Chase (LCC) decoding algorithm for the most popular class of AG codes - Hermitian codes. The LCC decoding is realised by formulating decoding test-vectors,...
Due to the constraints of satellite platforms and Inter-Satellite Links (ISL), very limited ISLs can be equipped on the satellites, making the ISLs intermittently available. Meanwhile, the Ground-Satellite Links (GSL) are also intermittent due to the rotation between the constellation and the earth. Intermittent connectivity of both ISLs and GSLs makes the satellite constellation network a typical...
This paper presents the initial results obtained in the application of the MotivEn motivational system in developmental robotics. The key feature of MotivEn is that it uses extrinsic motivations as the primary drive to guide the robot development, including intrinsic motivations to improve learning. We analyze here, through an experiment with a simulated robot, that both types of motivations are required.
A novel kind of mono-stable static physically unclonable function (PUF) based on current starved inverters is proposed with ultralow power and high reliability. The design is verified in a standard 40nm low leakage CMOS process to achieve as low as 2.44% native bit error rate (BER) in the worst operation condition. Majority voting technique is used to further improve the BER down to 1.18E-5. In addition,...
This paper presents a row voltage switch and a column voltage switch for the multitime programmable (MTP) memories. In the standard CMOS process, without using any specially-designed Laterally-Diffused MOS (LDMOS) transistors, the proposed circuits can ensure that none of the devices gets overstressed which greatly improves the reliability and endurance of the circuits, and this is achieved by simply...
The aim of the study is to create scientific-based methods of management of information influence which could be used in the management information support in the preparation and conduct of military actions. The main idea of this research is to substantiate and formally submit such scientific and methodological tools of management influence that will provide significant improvement of ways of preparation...
Massive Open Online Learning (MOOC) is one of the rapidly growing and the most trending online learning platform throughout the world. As reported by Class Central up until December 2015, there are more than a total of 4200 courses, which enrolled more than 35 million students and adopted by more than 500 universities all over the world. Thus, the objective of this study is to identify the students'...
This study investigated the impact of the Exploring Computer Science (ECS) program on the likelihood that students of all races and gender would pursue further computer science coursework in high school. ECS is designed to foster deep engagement through equitable inquiry around computer science concepts. If the course provides a meaningful and relevant experience, it will increase students' expectancies...
Issues related to verification and security are increasingly important in modern electronic systems. In particular, the huge complexity of electronic systems has led to growth in quality, reliability and security needs in several application domains as well as pressure for low cost products. There is a corresponding increasing demand for costeffective verification techniques and security solutions...
In this paper we evaluate the impact that a Computer Supported Collaborative Marking (CSCM) system has on the marking process of a highly subjective judging task. To do so, we evaluated the inter-rater reliability of reviewers in charge of marking written essays and the time required to perform such task. We analyzed the results of two groups of markers: the experimental group first marked 5 essays...
Adaptive re-configuration and islanding of micro-grids, based on the frequency deviations are attempted in this paper. The proposed technique improves the reliability of autonomous micro-grid under contingencies through adaptive control. Also concept of domains and commons of the distributed generators present in the micro-grids have been used in the proposed methodology. This algorithm is found to...
Twenty-one years ago, the IEEE Mixed-Signal Test Workshop (IMSTW) was inaugurated as one of the main forums that bring together the test community to discuss ideas and views specifically for analog, mixed-signal, and RF circuits and systems. IMSTW was renamed in 2008 to IEEE Mixed- Signal, Systems, and Sensors Test Workshop (IMS3TW) and was expanded to include new topics that address sensors and sensor-based...
When there is a power failure in distribution network, commercial building microgrid (CBMG) can be operated autonomously to guarantee the reliability of power supply. In order to reduce the influence of power outage and improve the reliability of power supply, this paper presents a novel emergency energy management (EEM) strategy, which is composed of EEM model and rolling optimization strategy. EEM...
Modern challenges require new productions in the field of information security problems. Topical issues to be addressed. Formulate possible approaches for the removal of these issues on the basis of DLP-systems, biometric identification systems.
The advancement of Si and flip chip package technologies are driven by high performance mobile processors with high I/O counts. In Si, the back-end-of-line (BEOL) copper interconnect with extreme low-K (ELK) dielectrics has been used to lower RC latency. While for packages, fine-pitch Cu bump is introduced to meet the high I/O density. Corresponding assembly solutions such as thermal compression bonding...
Predominant high melting point solders for high temperature electronics (operating temperatures over 200°C) are high Pb containing alloys. The new regulation will have banned the use of Pb in all electronics by 2019. We designed a "new" class of solder alloys with high bismuth (Bi) content (≥ 70 wt.%) to evaluate their potential as a high temperature Pb-free solder. Although having...
