Applied Probability and Queues

Adaptive vector median filtering

From the Publisher:
Image Processing Handbook covers methods for two different purposes:
Improving the visual appearance of images to a human viewerPreparing images for measurement of the features and structures present.

The handbook presents an extensive collection of image processing tools, enabling the user of computer-based system to understand those methods provided in packaged software and to program additions needed for particular applications. Comparisons are presented of different algorithms that may be used for similar purposes, including a selection of representative pictures from light and electron microscopes as well as macroscopic, satellite, and astronomical images.
Image Processing Handbook examines the rapid, powerful developments in graphic information, covering the array of concepts and techniques in high-end imaging software. With balanced, complete descriptions, the text outlines frequency space methods with extensive mathematical presentation and spatial domain processing. This handbook teaches by example -- by seeing what various operations do to representative images, the reader will discover how and why to use them. The text encourages the reader to use its information with a real source of images and a computer-based system as well as to freely experiment with different methods to determine the most appropriate for his or her particular needs.To facilitate the learning process, Reindeer Games in Charlotte, North Carolina, offers The Image Processing Tool Kit, a CD-ROM containing more than 150 images and more than 150 Photoshop-compatible plug-ins that implement the algorithms discussed. This revision of the established standard acts as a singular resource for professionals in the medical, biological, and materials sciences as well as a range of engineering venues, including electrical and computer engineering, optical engineering, telecommunications, and artificial intelligence.

Security, privacy & efficiency of sustainable Cloud Computing for Big Data & IoT

Wireless sensor networks are one of the most promising emerging technologies, providing the opportunity for real-time monitoring of geographical regions (remote and hostile) that are prone to disasters. With a focus on landslide detection, this work reaffirms the capability of wireless sensor networks for disaster mitigation. A complete functional system consisting of 50 geological sensors and 20 wireless sensor nodes was deployed in Idukki, a district in the southwestern region of Kerala State, India, a highly landslide prone area. The wireless sensor network system has, for the past three years, gathered vast amounts of data such as correlated sensor data values on rainfall, moisture, pore pressure and movement, along with other geological, hydrological and soil properties, helping to provide a better understanding of the landslide scenario. Using the wireless sensor networks, system was developed an innovative three level landslide warning system (Early, Intermediate and Imminent). This system has proven its validity by delivering a real warning to the local community during heavy rains in the July 2009 monsoon season. The implementation of this system uses novel data aggregation methods for power optimization in the field deployment. A report on unanticipated challenges that were faced in the field deployment of the wireless sensor networks and the novel solutions devised to overcome them are presented here.

In this paper a transform representation of the level-crossing probability in the single-server queueing system is shown. The model of the queue includes general type of service distribution and autocorrelated arrival process.

Transform representation of the level-crossing probability in a single-server queue

The paper gives the answer to the question, whether calculating the cell loss ratio gives us information about the statistical structure of losses caused by the buffer overflow. In other words, can two queueing systems having exactly the same cell loss ratio have quite different consecutive cell loss probabilities? The answer to this question is studied for a variety of queueing systems with different buffer capacities, traffic intensities and the distributions of the service time.

The ns-2 simulator is one of the most popular and widely used discrete event network simulators. Its usage of the general purpose Tcl scripting language accompanied with a wide range of networking technologies allows users to easily create complex and differentiated simulation scenarios. The main limitation of ns-2 is its lack of support for multiprocessing, especially considering that the multi-core environments have recently become tools of everyday use. In this paper we (a) propose a programming approach that allows running single-model simulations simultaneously on a multi-core systems using ns-2 and (b) present a set of software tools developed following the proposed convention. In addition, we describe a lightweight software scheduler extending the use of ns-2 on ad-hoc grid systems.
