This paper proposes an architecture that can optimize inter-VM communication in an NFV environment through the creation of direct channels between virtual machines. Particularly, our prototype can transparently optimize the data transfer between virtual machines running DPDK applications by dynamically recognizing the existence of pointto-point connections in the traffic steering rules, reverti...

Explicitly considering software architectural information at all times is now a recognized means for addressing software system dependability. In this paper we propose the basic ideas for AA, an architecture aware environment to improve software system dependability. It builds on ideas from architecting dependable systems, control engineering, and software product lines. AA supports fault toler...

The range of different applications used over the Internet is growing fast. Many new applications require a better than best-effort IP forwarding service. Deployment of mechanisms to offer Quality of Service (QoS) has not advanced, partially due over-provisioned backbones. On the end-to-end path, the bottlenecks are often in the access networks connecting the communicating parties to the backbo...

Qubits based on Majorana zero modes are a promising path towards topological quantum computing. Such qubits, though, susceptible to quasiparticle poisoning which does not have be small by argument. We study the main sources of relevant for realistic devices -- non-equilibrium above-gap quasiparticles and equilibrium localized subgap states. Depending parameters system architecture qubit either ...

Abstract SincNet architecture has shown significant benefits over traditional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), especially for speaker recognition applications. comprises parameterized Sinc functions as filters in the first layer followed by convolutional layers. Although is compact nature and offers top-level understanding of features extracted, effect window function used not thoroughly ad...

In exploring the evolution of Iranian architecture from prototypes to the present day, Qajar architecture is an important part of Iranian architecture history. The importance of this era's architecture is because large changes in conceptual and physical context occurred slowly in Iranian architecture during this time. These changes, especially from the Nasserian period (the second Qajar era), h...

Many large organizations have a number of heterogeneous localized databases that are maintained and managed to support a set of local applications. One of the main difficulties in supporting global applications over a number of localized databases and migrating legacy ISs to modern computing environment is to cope with the heterogeneities of these systems. We propose a novel flexible architectu...

Future mission plans for the space program call for complex autonomous systems that must be able to perform with high levels of reliability. Features of proposed missions include wide-scale distribution of agents, partial observability, and interaction between large numbers of active platforms. These domain features prove to be difficult for traditional planning algorithms. We are developing a ...

currently, localized pulpalgia is listed as a rare manifestation of chemotherapy treatments in patients with malignant tumors.  the neuropathy originated from neurotoxicity of anticancer drugs is usually described as a diffuse jaw pain or numbness in orofacial structures. this article reports localized tooth pain as a possible outcome of administrating high dosage chemotherapy drugs particularl...
