Session III Discussion Notes

This paper presents a preliminary investigation of a new interesting method to build easy to use and representative workloads to evaluate file-systems. The basic principle is to instrument a file-system, with the aid of domain knowledge, to breakdown workloads into micro-functions; then a subset of micro-functions are selected as predictors of a particular type of workload function; and finally...

Since wavelet analysis is an effective tool for analyzing transient signals, we studied its feature extraction and representation properties for events in electrocardiogram (EKG) data. Significant features of the EKG include the P-wave, the QRS complex, and the T-wave. For this paper the feature that we chose to focus on was the P-wave. Wavelet analysis was used as a pre-processor for a backpro...

There are several advantages to using task-based assessment to determine magnetic field exposures. Job title based assessment is the common approach. A worker’s job title, however, does not necessarily indicate the magnetic field exposure tasks a worker performs. Task-based assessment is more efficient in that there are fewer tasks required to cover a population than job titles. It is easier to...
