Biologists are increasingly confronted with the challenge of quickly understanding genome-wide biological data, which usually involve a large number of genomic coordinates (e.g. genes) but a much smaller number of samples. To meet the need for data of this shape, we present an open-source package called 'supraHex' for training, analysing and visualising omics data. This package devises a supra-...

The original 429 standard, defining a uni-directional broadcast databus (single transmitter, multiple receivers), has been used extensively in the civil aircraft field, notably by Boeing on the 757 and 767 and also by Airbus. Research and development work carried out by Boeing in the form of the DATAC (Digital Autonomous Terminal Access Communication) programme has, however, resulted in a new s...

We propose a method for the timing analysis of concurrent real-time programs with hard deadlines. We divide the analysis into a machine-independent and a machinedependent task. The latter takes into account the execution times of the program on a particular machine. Therefore, our goal is to make the machine-dependent phase of the analysis as simple as possible. We succeed in the sense that the...

Genome replication, a key process for a cell, relies on stochastic initiation by replication origins, causing a variability of replication timing from cell to cell. While stochastic models of eukaryotic replication are widely available, the link between the key parameters and overall replication timing has not been addressed systematically. We use a combined analytical and computational approac...

This paper proposes a novel gain time reclaiming framework integrating WCET analysis for object-oriented real-time systems in order to provide greater flexibility and without loss of the predicability and efficiency of the whole system. In this paper we present an approach which demonstrates how to improve the utilisation and overall performance of the whole system by reclaiming gain time at ru...

This paper presents the timing analysis methodology developed in the European project PSOCRATES (Parallel Software Framework for Time-Critical Many-core Systems). This timing analysis methodology is defined for parallel applications that must satisfy both performance and real-time requirements and are executed on modern many-core processor architectures. We discuss the motivation and objectives...

We analyze the performance of truncated power control in a code-division multiple-access (CDMA) communication system. This power control scheme compensates for propagation gain above a certain cutoff fade depth: below the cutoff level, data transmission is suspended. We assume a channel with fast Rayleigh fading and slow lognormal shadowing plus path loss, where truncated power control is appli...

The theoretical limit of link prediction is a fundamental problem in this field. Taking the 7 network structure as object to research this problem is the mainstream method. This paper 8 proposes a new viewpoint that link prediction methods can be divided into single or combination 9 methods, based on the way they derive the similarity matrix, and investigates whether there a 10 theoretical limi...

In this paper, we propose CoCo, a novel framework for establishing covert timing channels. The CoCo covert channel modulates the covert message in the inter-packet delays of the network flows, while a coding algorithm is used to ensure the robustness of the covert message to different perturbations. The CoCo covert channel is adjustable: by adjusting certain parameters one can trade off differe...

ALL-TIMES is a research project within the EC 7th Framework Programme. The project concerns embedded systems that are subject to safety, availability, reliability, and performance requirements. Increasingly, these requirements relate to correct timing. Consequently, the need for appropriate timing analysis methods and tools is growing rapidly. An increasing number of sophisticated and technical...
