A Matter of Perspective: Reliable Communication and Coping with Interference with Only Local Views
(2012-09-05)This dissertation studies interference in wireless networks. Interference results from multiple simultaneous attempts to communicate, often between unassociated sources and receivers, preventing extensive coordination. ... -
A maximum pseudo-likelihood approach for phylogenetic networks
(2015)Abstract Background Several phylogenomic analyses have recently demonstrated the need to account simultaneously for incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) and hybridization when ... -
A minimum-cost-neighbor multicast routing protocol for mobile wireless ad hoc networks
(2010)MiCoN (Minimum-Cost Neighbor) is a new on-demand multicast routing protocol for mobile wireless ad hoc networks. Multicast routing in MiCoN is based on a new multi-route unicast routing protocol for maintaining routes ... -
A model of sarcolemmal calcium(2+) currents and cytosolic calcium(2+) transients in a rat ventricular cell
(2000)We have developed a mathematical model of the L-type Ca2+ current and cytosolic Ca2+ transient, which is based on data from whole-cell voltage clamp experiments on rat ventricular myocytes. Modified Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz ... -
A New Approach to Routing With Dynamic Metrics
(1998-11-18)We present a new routing algorithm to compute paths within a network using dynamic link metrics. Dynamic link metrics are cost metrics that depend on a link's dynamic characteristics, e.g., the congestion on the link. Our ... -
A NOVEL FRAMEWORK FOR SURFACE RECONSTRUCTION FROM 3-DIMENSIONAL CONTOURS
(1986)In many applications, such as computer vision, medical imaging, scene forming, and motion animation, surface data is available in the form of two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) contours. Reconstruction of the ... -
A performance study of deployment factors in wireless mesh networks
(2007)This thesis presents a measurement-parameterized performance study of deployment factors in wireless mesh networks using four performance metrics: client coverage area, backhaul tier connectivity, protocol-dependent ... -
A phase sensitivity based method for prediction of modes of behavior in quadrupedal locomotion
(1996)The objective of this study is development of prediction methods for characterizing the electrical behavior of ring type central pattern generators (CPGs). A mathematical model of the prototypical bursting neuron R15 from ... -
A Practical Soft Type System for Scheme
(1993-12-06)Soft type systems provide the benefits of static type checking for dynamically typed languages without rejecting untypable programs. A soft type checker infers types for variables and expressions and inserts explicit ... -
A protocol class for stealing residual bandwidth in uncoordinated distributed wireless networks
(2010)The need for finding effective means of recycling spectrum is becoming increasingly apparent as the world becomes more crowded with wireless devices. While finding a policy solution to this problem will require years, ... -
A reconfigurable decoder architecture for wireless LAN and cellular systems
(2001)The rapid growth of wireless communications has led to the demand for communication devices which can support multiple standards and have the capability of switching from one to another on-the-fly. For instance, a device ... -
A Related-Key Cryptanalysis of RC4
(2000-06-08)In this paper we present analysis of the RC4 stream cipher and show that for each 2048-bit key there exists a family of related keys, differing in one of the byte positions. The keystreams generated by RC4 for a key and ... -
A Resource Management Framework for Predictable Quality of Service in Web Servers
(2003-07-07)This paper presents a resource management framework for providing predictable quality of service (QoS) in Web servers. The framework allows Web server and proxy operators to ensure a probabilistic minimal QoS level, expressed ... -
A Resource-Aware Streaming-based Framework for Big Data Analysis
(2015-12-02)The ever growing body of digital data is challenging conventional analytical techniques in machine learning, computer vision, and signal processing. Traditional analytical methods have been mainly developed based on the ... -
A sample realization approach for optimization of code division multiple access systems
(1994)Efforts in performance analysis of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems have concentrated on obtaining asymptotic approximations and bounds for system error probabilities. As such, these cannot capture the sensitivities ... -
A Sample-Driven Call Stack Profiler
(2004-07-15)Call graph profiling reports measurements of resource utilization along with information about the calling context in which the resources were consumed. We present the design of a novel profiler that measures resource ...
