In this paper, we propose five data fusion schemes for the Internet of Things (IoT) scenario,which are Relief and Perceptron (Re-P), Relief and Genetic Algorithm Particle Swarm Optimization (Re-GAPSO), Genetic Algorithm and Artificial Neural Network (GA-ANN), Rough and Perceptron (Ro-P)and Rough and GAPSO (Ro-GAPSO). All the schemes consist of four stages, including preprocessingthe data set ba...

— The capacity growth driven by increasing traffic and the introduction of new devices and technologies has resulted in new functionalities in optical networks. The property of transparency enables compatibility between different system generations and the coexistence of multiple bit-rates without raising the global network cost. In a transparent network, the signals travel through many links a...

Tracking mobile targets in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is of utmost importance in surveillance applications. As it is often the case in prior work that the accuracy of tracking heavily depends on high accuracy in localization or distance estimation, which is never perfect in practice. These bring a cumulative effect on tracking (e.g., target missing). Recovering from the effect and also fre...

This paper addresses the physical layer design of flexible optical networks [1–8] and its interplay with the routing layer. In such circuit-switched dispersion uncompensated (DU) fiber-optic networks, wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) dual polarization (DP) optical digital signals are transmitted and coherently detected. Each fiber carries at most W wavelengths with possibly mixed modulatio...

Iultiple organ failure (MOF) denotes a clinical syndrome that is characterized by a process of dysfunction and ultimately failure of vital organs. Commonly found in association with infection in critically ill patients,’ it has supplanted refractory hypoxemia as the major cause of late mortality in patients with the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).2 Although ARDS is often an initial ...

Blocking probability has been one of the key performance to solve Routing and Wavelength Assignment problem (RWA) indexes in the design of wavelength-routed all-optical WDM networks. To evaluate blocking probability different analytical model are introduced. Simulation results on different network topologies and routing policies considered demonstrate that the simulation results match closely w...

Matching algorithms play a fundamental role in many important but difficult software engineering activities, especially design evolution analysis and model comparison. We present MADMatch, a fast and scalable many-to-many approximate diagram matching approach based on an error-tolerant graph matching (ETGM) formulation. Diagrams are represented as graphs, costs are assigned to possible differen...

We study the implications of non-perturbative instanton field configurations for QCD predictions in deep inelastic scattering. We find that large-scale configurations cannot be neglected when Q2 + ~0, and renormalize the canonical Bjorken scaling functions. Studies of perturbative quantum fluctuations in the presence of an instanton indicate that the leading logarithms are identical to those oc...
