One of the goals of a routing protocol is how to satisfy the Quality-of-Service requirements for every admitted connection and how to achieve the global efficiency in resource utilization. On the other hands, the main goal of QoS routing; is to find a network path with sufficient resources to satisfy certain constraints on metrics such as delay and bandwidth. Many unicast / multicast QoS routin...

A methodology to approach the automatic monitoring and prognosis of diseases evolution is proposed. We define a multilevel system architecture capable to process multi-source biomedical data according to a coarse-to-fine paradigm. An application regarding neuro-signals and image categorization is also considered as a case study. The proposed methodology even preliminary has shown to be a possib...

While the Cloud computing paradigm is maturing and gaining wide acceptance, topics like Quality of Service assurance and resource monitoring will remain active fields of investigation and research. In this paper, we identify characteristics of the monitoring infrastructure in Cloud environments and we present a new architectural approach. The proposed mechanism is spanning across different leve...

Environmental noises can have a large impact on workplace productivity and health. We address the problem of designing large CAD structures that automatically meet the noise guidelines and standards. We present a novel approach that determines the optimal placement of sound sources such as generators, machinery, fans and HVAC appliances that can conform to these design requirements in indoor sc...

Neurules are a kind of hybrid rules that combine a symbolic (production rules) and a connectionist (adaline unit) representation. Each neurule is represented as an adaline unit. One way that the neurules can be produced is from training examples (empirical source knowledge). However, in certain application fields not all of the training examples are available a priori. A number of them become a...

Multilevel converters have gained popularity in both medium voltage and low voltage applications. To find out the connections between various multilevel voltage source converter topologies and to reveal how to obtain new topologies, this paper has presented four methods to derive multilevel converter topologies. Many existing topologies as well as new topologies can be derived with the methods ...

The design of decisional data base schema in general is done by an administrator. According to data-driven, requirement-driven or hybrid paradigms, he determine facts and dimensions. This process which based on data source or end-user requirement are often complex and approximate. We propose to elaborate decisional data-base schema by the end user following hybrid approach. Through assistance a...

At present scenario, renewable energy sources are needed to meet the energy demand. They also mitigate environment pollution problems. The shortage of electrical energy demand can be meeting with renewable energy resources. A wind turbine (WT) and photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are primary energy sources. Grid connected renewable energy source like wind energy and solar energy are used to conne...
