Autonomic Trust Management In Dynamic Systems
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Research in pervasive computing is aimed at creating environments where users can seamlessly benefit from ubiquitous computing resources despite the complexity of the environment. Providing security in such systems is a ...
Adapting Harmonic Function Path Planning: To Reflect User Motion Preferences
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Every human in the real world has a unique motion preference while moving to achieve a given task. These preferences could be expressed by moving in a straight line, following the wall along a corridor, avoiding sharp ...
Helmholtz's Theorem Based Parametric Non-rigid Image Registration
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Helmholtz's theorem states that, with suitable boundary condition, a vector field is completely determined if both of its divergence and curl are specified everywhere. Based on this, we developed a new parametric non-rigid ...
An Auction Mechanism For Grid Scheduling And Resource Allocation In The Context Of Atlas
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2009-09-16)
The technological advancements in the areas of computing and networking over the recent years have led to an emerging infrastructure known as Computational Grids, which provides users with the flexibility of pervasive ...
Modeling And Simulation Of A General Motors Conveyor System Using A Custom Decision Optimizer
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2009-09-16)
The temporal behavior of conveyor systems can be modeled using discrete event (DE) simulations. DE modeling provides a quick and cost effective method for analyzing complex problems as different scenarios can be tested ...
Pseudo-hierarchical Ant-based Clustering Using A Heterogeneous Agent Hierarchy And Automatic Boundary Formation
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2009-09-16)
The behavior and self-organization of ant colonies has been widely studied and served as the inspiration and source of many swarm intelligence models and related clustering algorithms. Unfortunately, most models that ...
Query Auditing Against Partial Disclosure
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Many government agencies, businesses, and nonprofit organizations need to collect, analyze, and report data about individuals in order to support their short-term and long-term planning activities. Statistical Databases ...
Searching And Ranking Xml Data In A Distributed Environment
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Due to the increasing number of independent data providers on the web, there is a growing number of web applications that require searching and querying data sources distributed at different locations over the internet. ...
Temporal Potential Function Approach For Path Planning In Dynamic Environments
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2009-09-16)
A Dynamic environment is one in which either the obstacles or the goal or both are in motion. In most of the current research, robots attempting to navigate in dynamic environments use reactive systems. Although reactive ...
Energy Efficient Routing Structures And Wakeup Schemes For Wireless Sensor Networks
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Wireless sensor networks, which consist of a large number of sensor nodes and a base station, are used for many applications aimed at collecting information. Each sensor node is equipped with a small amount of battery, ...
