MobJeX (Mobile Java Objects) is a Java based resource aware adaptive code mobility framework that is currently under development. MobJeX differs from its predecessors such as Sumatra [1] and FarGo [2, 3] by providing support for the transparent distribution of application code to client devices in a heterogenous Next Generation Internet (NGI) environment [4]. This paper briefly discusses the ar...

The authors propose a design method for hierarchical crossconnect wavelength-division-multiplexed networks employing a two-stage multiplexing scheme of waveband and wavelength, in order to reduce the complexity and size of optical crossconnect at the nodes. The waveband is formed by grouping lightpaths with the same destination in a network. The authors present an integer linear programming for...

In this article we develop a musical parser which is based on Lerdahl and Jackendoff’s Generative Theory of Tonal Music (1983). Their preference rules are adapted to incorporate recent insights from linguistic theory, in particular from Optimality Theory. Crucially, Optimality Theory provides us with a conflict resolution mechanism which allows us to determine unambiguously which rule is to be ...

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) transformations and queries are crucial operations for interpreting XML databases. XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) is a prominent XML technology for these operations, but XQuery (XML Query Language) can query a broad spectrum of XML information sources, including both databases and documents. In this paper, we present our approach to transl...

In this paper, we study user grouping, precoding design, and power allocation for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems. An optimization problem is formulated to the maximize sum rate under a transmit constraint at base station constraints on users, which are nonconvex combinatorial thus very challenging solve. To tackle problem, carry out in two ste...

In international conflicts a land power is motivated to wage wars for expansion, but engaging in an enduring war costly. Therefore, the decision of and peace ultimate importance has been studied intensively under game theory by analyzing pay-offs different actions. Regarding such tension, we demonstrate that perceptual grouping, although completely irrelevant those pay-offs, can nevertheless pr...

This paper describes how a rules-based approach allowed us to solve a broad class of challenging distributed system problems in the RAMCloud storage system. In the rules-based approach, behavior is described with small sections of code that trigger independently based on system state; this provides a clean separation between the deterministic and nondeterministic parts of an algorithm. To simpl...

User-driven applications belong to the new type of programs, in which users get the full control of WHAT, WHEN, and HOW must appear on the screen. Such programs can exist only if the screen view is organized not according with the predetermined scenario, written by the developers, but if any screen object can be moved, resized, and reconfigured by any user at any moment. This article describes ...

In building a machine to detect and segregate individual components in sound mixtures, the best example to copy is the human auditory system. Several models of auditory organization implement various rules of psychoacoustic grouping [Breg90]; we propose in addition to model auditory inference as exhibited in the well-known ‘phonemic restoration illusion’ of [Warr70]. A hierarchy of abstracted f...

OBJECTIVE To externally validate EPICON, a computerized system for grouping diagnoses from EMRs in general practice into episodes of care. These episodes can be used for estimating morbidity rates. DESIGN Comparative observational study. MEASUREMENTS Morbidity rates from an independent dataset, based on episode-oriented EMRs, were used as the gold standard. The EMRs in this dataset containe...
