To provide high-quality service under heavy user loads, the Internet depends on congestion avoidance mechanisms implemented in the transport-layer such as the transmission-control protocol (TCP). However, many TCP implementations don’t include—either deliberately or by accident— a congestion avoidance mechanism. Moreover, a growing number of user datagram protocol (UDP)-based applications runni...

We describe a multi-disciplinary system model for determining decision making strategies based upon the ability to perform data mining and pattern discovery utilizing open source actionable information to prepare for specific events or situations from multiple information sources. We focus on combining detection theory with game theory for classifying ships in Arctic Ocean to verify ship report...

Process measurements are of vital importance for monitoring and control of industrial plants. When we consider offshore oil production platforms, wells that require gas-lift technology to yield oil production from low pressure oil reservoirs can become unstable under some conditions. This undesirable phenomenon is usually called slugging flow, and can be identified by an oscillatory behavior of...
