FlexRay, as a communication protocol for automotive control systems, is developed to fulfill the increasing demand on the electronic control units for implementing systems with higher safety and more comfort. In this work, we study the impact of radiation-induced soft errors on FlexRay-based steer-by-wire system. We injected the soft errors into general purpose register set of FlexRay nodes to ...

ODUCTION ar sensors with dual-polarization capability etter understanding and characterization of hazards. Advanced knowledge-based hazard algorithms would require better knowledge of ttering characteristics of hydrometeors such as , hailstones, and snowflakes. Especially, characteristics becomes important for utilize phase-array dual-polarization radar Traditionally, theoretical approaches [1]...

This paper presents an analysis on the capacity and performance of MIMO-OFDM systems. The work is focused on the capacity of MIMO-OFDM systems over rician fading channel, in the case of the channel being known at the receiver only, which is more practical case of the channel. Simple expression for capacity is derived for the case of correlated rician fading. The performance of some MIMO-OFDM im...

This paper discusses the enhancement of security in general purpose operating systems, especially related to threats caused by internetworking, using extensions to operating systems. Such mechanisms have a significantly larger basis for reaching security policy decisions than older host-level security mechanisms and firewalls. By layering defensive mechanisms yet enforcing a consistent security...

application of distributed generation (dg) units in distribution networks has increased in recent years. sizing and sitting of dg units are two important factors which should be considered, especially for reduction of power losses in distribution system. this paper presents a new approach for dg placement in distribution systems using the mixed integer nonlinear programming (minlp). this approa...

The following contribution presents the analysis of shared content distribution and user request structure in Gnutella peer-to-peer (P2P) network. Since the keyword search is the main approach to locate content in P2P systems, the shared content and user requests were studied from keywords perspective. More particularly, the keyword distributions in filenames, among peers and in user queries ar...

This paper provides a comprehensive study of the structure and dynamics of online advertising markets, based on a dataset of sponsored search queries provided by Microsoft Research. The study was performed using techniques from agent-based computing, data mining and from the emergent discipline of complex systems analysis. First, we look at how the display rank of a URL link influences its clic...

Automated storage and retrieval systems are warehousing systems that are used for the storage and retrieval of products in both distribution and production environments. Shuttle based storage/retrieval systems are composed of elevators with lifting tables that are attached on a mast, shuttle carriers, buffer positions and the storage racks. It is observed that the shuttle based storage/retrieva...

We describe a method for generating sentences from “keywords” or “headwords”. This method consists of two main parts, candidate-text construction and evaluation. The construction part generates text sentences in the form of dependency trees by using complementary information to replace information that is missing because of a “knowledge gap” and other missing function words to generate natural ...
