چکیده

This paper presents a compact cluster computer, called “UCC (Ubiquitous Computing Cluster)”, which provides a cost-effective prototyping environment for design and test of ubiquitous computing applications. We achieve extremely small size, low power consumption and low cost by employing COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) embedded CPUs. We also present an application of UCC to fingerprint verification using phase-based image matching and its performance analysis. Our experimental observation shows that the cluster is useful for prototyping practical application programs targeted at network-connected embedded CPUs.

A Low Complexity Fingerprint Verification Algorithm with Reduced Hardware Resources

A low complexity fingerprint verification scheme with ultra-compact hardware resources requirement is presented in the paper. Firstly, the fingerprint image is captured and performed noise canceling by a binary low-pass filter. Secondly, the displacement of the fingerprint pattern is estimated by means of directional image matching, and then circular profile features of the fingerprint are extr...

Web Service Choreography Verification Using Z Formal Specification

Web Service Choreography Description Language (WS-CDL) describes and orchestrates the services interactions among multiple participants. WS-CDL verification is essential since the interactions would lead to mismatches. Existing works verify the messages ordering, the flow of messages, and the expected results from collaborations. In this paper, we present a Z specification of WS-CDL. Besides ve...
