False sharing is a result of co-location of unrelated data in the same unit of memory coherency, and is one source of unnecessary overhead being of no help to keep the memory coherency in multiprocessor systems. Moreover, the damage caused by false sharing becomes large in proportion to the granularity of memory coherency. To reduce false sharing in page-based DSM systems, it is necessary to al...

This paper presents a new composite index to analyze power system transient stability. Contingency ranking in power system transient stability is a complicated and time consuming task. To prevail over this difficulty, various indices are used. These indices are based on the concept of coherency, transient energy conversion between kinetic and potential energy and three dot products of the s...

Power system security is one of the major concerns in competitive electricity markets driven by trade demands and regulations. If the system is found to be insecure, timely corrective measures need to be taken to prevent system collapse. This paper presents an approach based on a counterpropagation neural network (CPNN) to identify and rank the contingencies expected to reduce or eliminate the ...

Big data is large volume, heterogeneous, distributed data. Big data applications where data collection has grown continuously, it is expensive to manage, capture or extract and process data using existing software tools. For example Weather Forecasting, Electricity Demand Supply, social media and so on. With increasing size of data in data warehouse it is expensive to perform data analysis. Dat...

The multidimensional analysis based on data cube has been growing interest. However existing data cube model usually does not have the semantics of attributes and hence the analysis usually provides results with raw numbers and ignores the real meanings of these numbers. An example result is that the total sales of PC in this year are above 2000. The semantics of sale performance, high or low, ...

The work of adhesion of bimaterial interfaces is commonly computed using quantum mechanical methods in which the two materials are strained into coherency. There is no relaxation of the coherency by the formation of an array of interfacial misfit dislocations, contrary to what is commonly observed for essentially all systems other than very thin films. In this paper, we investigate the errors i...

In Electronic Commerce applications such as stock trading, there is a need to consult sources available on the web for informed decision making. Because information such as stock prices keep changing, the web sources must be queried continually to maintain temporal coherency of the collected data, thereby avoiding decisions based on stale information. However, because network infrastructure has...

In this paper we consider the problem of minimizing power consumption of a sequential circuit using low power state encoding. One of the previously published results is based on recursive matching. In general, a matched pair can be considered as a 1-cube being embedded in a hypercube. We generalize this idea of 1-cube embedding and propose a new encoding algorithm based on r-cube embedding. We ...
