Future conflicts may involve composite striker packages composed of manned and unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) supervised by mission controllers. Since situation awareness (SA) contributes to and is a crucial part of mission success, significant effort is now being placed on developing new technologies that have the potential of increasing SA for the mission controller. This paper describes the de...

Mechanical ventilation with high tidal volumes has been shown to contribute to the formation or worsening of interstitial and alveolar edema. Previously we showed that application of large biaxial deformations in vitro perturbs the concentration and distribution of functional tight junction proteins in alveolar epithelial cells. Using a novel method, we determined that applied epithelial strain...

Traditional sensitivity assessment (SA) methods have limitations which motivate a new approach, the subject of a new project at ANU and the Universities of Adelaide and Melbourne, with the Murray-Darling Basin Commission and the South Australia Dept. of Water, Land and Biodiversity Conservation as partners. The limitations include high computing load, restricted scope and validity of the result...

This paper presents tooling concepts in AUTOFOCUS 3 supporting the development of software-intensive embedded system design. AUTOFOCUS 3 is a highly integrated model-based tool covering the complete development process from requirements elicitation, deployment, the modelling of the hardware platform to code generation. This is achieved thanks to precise static and dynamic semantics based on the...

Lewko and Waters [Eurocrypt 2010] presented a fully secure HIBE with short ciphertexts. In this paper we show how to modify their construction to achieve anonymity. We prove the security of our scheme under static (and generically secure) assumptions formulated in composite order bilinear groups. In addition, we present a fully secure Anonymous IBE in the secret-key setting. Secret-Key Anonymou...

Problem statement: Spam is an irrelevant or inappropriate message sent on the internet to a large number of newsgroups or users. A spam word is a list of well-known words that often appear in spam mails. Bloom Filter (BF) is used for identification of spam word. Approach: BF is a simple but powerful data structure that can check membership to a static set. The trade-off to use BF is a certain c...

In nowadays complex and dynamic changing military environments supporting Situation Awareness (SA) of operators is a prerequisite for situationand task-adequate decision making and action accomplishment. SA refers to information on three levels which represent relevant elements of the operator environment, element patterns describing complex mission situations, and projections of future states ...

In this dissertation, hybrid tabu search and simulated annealing (TS/SA) approach is proposed to find the optimal placement of multi-type FACTS devices to simultaneously minimize the total generator fuel cost and violation function. The problem is decomposed into the multi-objective optimal placement (MOOP) of multi-type FACTS devices subproblem that is searched by the hybrid TS/SA approach and...

In this study, the performance of supplementary stabilizer for static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) tuned based on simulated annealing in order to improvement of dynamic stability is studied. Since STATCOM is usually used for damping Low Frequency Oscillations (LFO), a supplementary stabilizer is incorporated with STATCOM to reach the mentioned purpose. Simulated Annealing (SA) as a heurist...

Sensitivity Analysis (SA) is a novel compiler technique that complements, and integrates with, static automatic parallelization analysis for the cases when program behavior is input sensitive. SA can extract all the input dependent, statically unavailable, conditions for which loops can be dynamically parallelized. SA generates a sequence of sufficient conditions which, when evaluated dynamical...
