This paper presents a new method for remote and interactive browsing of long video sequences. The solution is based on interactive navigation in a scalable mega image resulting from a JPEG2000 coded keyframe-based video summary. The presented system is compliant with the new JPEG2000 part 9 “JPIP – JPEG2000 Interactivity, API and Protocol,” which lends itself to working under varying channel co...

The topological analysis of food webs is a recently reinvigorated and rapidly growing area of inquiry in community ecology (Williams and Martinez 2000, Solé and Montoya 2001, Camacho et al. 2002, Montoya and Solé 2002). Topological studies assess system properties using the number and distribution of connections among nodes in an interconnected network. Analysis of a food web as a network of li...

We present a new hierarchical location update and routing scheme for a wide area mobile computing environment with scalability of network hierarchy. Our scheme provides nearly optimal routing for most communication bypassing the mobile host’s home network and home agent. We use simulation to compare our scheme with other schemes in both non-hierarchical and hierarchical network architectures. C...

We develop a neural network model of paired-associate learning based upon an autoassociative learning mechanism. We show that this relatively simple neural network can replicate complex human behavioral data, but only when the correlation between forward and backward learning is highly correlated. This network-based analysis is used to constrain psychological theories of association in humans. ...

Distributed environments such as federated databases, wireless and sensor networks, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks are becoming increasingly popular and wellsuited for machine learning since they can store large quantities of data on a network. The distributed setting is complex in part because network topologies are often dynamic and data available to algorithms changes frequently. Furthermore, i...

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCP) enables DHCP servers to pass configuration parameters such as IPv6 network addresses to IPv6 nodes. It offers the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configuration flexibility. This protocol is a stateful counterpart to ‘‘IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration’’ [14], and can be used Bound, Car...

We study with lattice Monte Carlo simulations the relation of global O(2) symmetry breaking in three dimensions to the properties of a geometrically defined vortex loop network. We find that different definitions of constructing a network lead to different results even in the thermodynamic limit, and that with typical definitions the percolation transition does not coincide with the thermodynam...

ABSTRACT NETWORK 2001 has been developed to provide transportation planners with additional flexibility in analyzing road systems. While NETWORK 2000 was limited to minimizing costs, NETWORK 2001 can use weighted objective function components to minimize road system length. This paper presents NETWORK 2001 and the new algorithm implemented in the program with its applications. Total open road l...
