Loss allocation through analytical expressions in three-core lead-sheathed armored cables is challenging due to the complex geometry of this type cable, commonly employed submarine energy transmission systems (involving twisted conductors, sheaths and armor). Most IEC standard 60287 have not been properly adapted for cables, leading inaccurate values different losses, so important efforts are c...

Biomedical sensors (BMSs) monitor the heterogeneous vital signs of patients. They have diverse Quality of Service (QoS) requirements including reduced collision, delay, loss, and energy consumption in the transmission of data, which are non-constrained, delay-constrained, reliability-constrained, and critical. In this context, this paper proposes a traffic priority-aware adaptive slot allocatio...

A novel cross-layer wireless resource allocation algorithm called DBMQT is proposed which distributes the resource based on dynamic buffer allocation mechanism for orthogonal frequency division multiplex access (OFDMA) system. The aim of allocation algorithm is to maximize system throughput while satisfying the QoS requirement for multi-user and multi-service. The algorithm consists of two step...

We present a general framework for solving resource allocation and scheduling problems. Given a resource of xed size, we present algorithms that approximate the maximum throughput or the minimum loss by a constant factor. Our approximation factors apply to many problems, among which are: (i) real-time scheduling of jobs on parallel machines; (ii) bandwidth allocation for sessions between two en...

Software watermarking involves embedding a unique identifier within a piece of software, to discourage software theft. The global revenue loss due to software piracy was estimated to be more than $50 billion in 2008. We survey the proposed register allocation based algorithms for software watermarking. This family of static watermarks are constraint-based and embed the watermark in a solution t...
