The Great Plains Network (GPN) Middleware Test Bed

Flexible Extensible Middleware Framework for Remote Triggered Wireless Sensor Network Lab

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are also being actively researched and learned as part of graduate and undergraduate technical disciplines as they are being applied in variety of fields such as landslide detection, smart home monitoring etc. It is essential for the students to learn the WSN concepts through experimentation. But it needs a lot of time, hardware resources and technical expertise t...

Home Network Infrastructure Based on Corba Event Channel

This paper proposes a home network infrastructure based on CORBA as a middleware with client-server configuration. Communication inside the network is designed as an event-oriented communication, by using event channel that defined in OMG event service. By modifying CORBA event channel, several functions are developed for enabling the connection, communication, remote control, remote monitoring...

Generative Partition Networks for Multi-Person Pose Estimation

This paper proposes a new Generative Partition Network (GPN) to address the challenging multi-person pose estimation problem. Different from existing models that are either completely top-down or bottom-up, the proposed GPN introduces a novel strategy—it generates partitions for multiple persons from their global joint candidates and infers instance-specific joint configurations simultaneously....

Global Production Network and the Upgrading of China’s Integrated Circuit Industry

Using an analytical framework of the global production network (GPN), the present paper examines the external environment and the internal dynamics of China’s integrated circuit (IC) industry. We analyze the transition of China’s IC industry from a state-led integrated device manufacturers’ model to deeper integration into the GPN. We also explore the technological sources, the upgrading dynami...
