The packets in a mobile wireless ad-hoc network (MANET) are vulnerable to various packet-dropping attacks. Due to the lack of a centralized monitoring mechanism, it is a challenging problem to identify the attackers that launch the packet-dropping attacks in MANET. The existing DoS defensive techniques have not provided a scheme to efficiently and effectively solve this challenging problem. Hen...

This report is focused on a basic (6.1) level research on full motion video analysis with the objective of investigating the process of motion blurring in planar scenes and to develop algorithms for blind restoration of blurred images together with an estimate of camera motion. This is a topic of immense importance to the U.S. Air Force with a potential impact on image analysis, characterizatio...

A task scheduling simulator for timing analysis of the various task sets with different scheduling policies was implemented and tested. The simulator supports the various scheduling policies like Rate Monotonic, deadline monotonic and EDF, widely used for scheduling real time applications. It simulates the task execution for the time period, and then it outputs the time based representation of ...

Conventional database benchmarks, such as the TPC-C and TPC-H, are extremely computationally demanding, pushing databases to their limits as they simulate the operations of real applications. However, this computational intensity demands powerful, costly server hardware, limiting the availability of these benchmarks to only those who can afford such servers. For many researchers interested in e...

The project aims to explore two fractal models (by Lowen and Liebovitch) of ion channel kinetics, and how this affects spike train patterns. The project also intends to extend the Liebovitch model and explore how fractal dimension affects potassium ion channel conductance profiles, and the behavior and rate of action potentials. 1 I n t r o d u c t i o n Fractal patterns have been used to model...
