Multipath networking schemes can be employed to efficiently balance traffic and address link failures. However, these also cause packet disorder, thereby deteriorating the overall network performance. To problems, we propose splitting a single flow over multipath scheme (SFMS) at fine granularity based on software-defined networking. The SFMS splits an elephant into several subflows according r...

As a raindrop falls from the atmosphere, over vegetation and forest canopies, and enters soils and streams it experiences a dynamic exchange of carbon constituents with the surrounding environment. Understanding the magnitude and dynamics of carbon export in above and below ground flow paths is critical for constraining the influence of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems on global carbon cyclin...

Dislocation-related conduction paths in n-type GaN grown by molecular-beam epitaxy and a mechanism for local suppression of current flow along these paths are analyzed using conductive atomic force microscopy, scanning Auger spectroscopy, and macroscopic current–voltage measurements. Application of an electric field at the GaN surface in an ambient atmospheric environment is shown to lead to lo...

A wireless mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an autonomous system of mobile nodes connected by wireless links. MANET is infrastructureless and dynamic in nature. As the nodes have limited battery power and communicate through shared wireless channel, it is hard to design a secure and energy efficient routing protocol in a MANET. In this paper, we propose a secure and energy-efficient stochastic ...

Designers of integrated circuits have always been concerned about the damaging effects of ESD (Electrostatic Discharge). However, as their designs become increasingly more complex, the problem of analyzing the schemes they develop to protect against ESD is quickly becoming too difficult perform manually. Current VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) designs exceed one hundred bondpads, through wh...

In traffic engineering to effectively distribute traffic flows over multiple network paths, taking into account traffic characteristics for individual flows is vital in appropriately assigning flows to network paths for achieving better delay performance of the total traffic. All flows assigned to a path, in which some flows are heavily bursty, equally experience a significant queuing delay whe...

A flow network is a directed graph in which each edge has a capacity, bounding the amount of flow that can travel through it. Flow networks have attracted a lot of research in computer science. Indeed, many questions in numerous application areas can be reduced to questions about flow networks. This includes direct applications, namely a search for a maximal flow in networks, as well as less di...

Ensuring the reliability and security of Android apps is important considering the large Android market and the critical usage of Android apps. To analyze and test Android apps, we need to know program paths, i.e., the control flow of callbacks implemented in the apps. One of the challenges to identify such information is the extensive use of the Android API methods in the apps. These methods c...
