The emerging era of embedded computing demands both high computing power and flexibility to accommodate various applications. This paper presents a new heterogeneous multiprocessor SoC platform targeted at several application domains. The platform is scalable and can be tailored according to various scenarios.

RSPLab is an infrastructure that reduces the effort required to design and execute reproducible experiments as well as share their results. It provides a programmatic environment to deploy RDF Streams and RSP engines, interact with them and continuously monitor their performances and collect statistics. In this demo well show how to deploy RDFStream and RSP engines in the cloud and how to inter...

Appropriate performance evaluations of commercial Cloud services are crucial and beneficial for both customers and providers to understand the service runtime, while suitable experimental design and analysis would be vital for practical evaluation implementations. However, there seems to be a lack of effective methods for Cloud services performance evaluation. For example, in most of the existi...

In large scale networks users often behave selfishly trying to minimize their routing cost. Modelling this as a noncooperative game, may yield a Nash equilibrium with unboundedly poor network performance. To measure this inefficacy, the Coordination Ratio or Price of Anarchy (PoA) was introduced. It equals the ratio of the cost induced by the worst Nash equilibrium, to the corresponding one ind...

This paper describes the design of an expressive tangible interface for cinema editing as a live performance. A short survey of live video practices is provided. The Live Cinema instrument is a cross between a musical instrument and a film editing tool, tailored for improvisational control as well as performance presence. Design specifications for the instrument evolved based on several types o...

There is a commonly held idea that although Lisp is a good language for prototyping and software development, it is often too inefcient to be useful in actual implementation. Advances in compiling Lisp have begun to change this notion. However, the situation is less clear in the case of parallel Lisp dialects. In this paper, we report on our experience in implementing a compiler for a parallel ...

A dual wideband CPW-fed slotted Koch snowflake fractal monopole, which is suitable for WLAN/WiMAX applications, is presented. The proposed antenna has been analyzed and designed with Ansoft HFSSTM v.11. Then an experimental prototype is fabricated and measured. It is compact with a total size of 41.5mm × 27 mm × 1mm (L × W × T ). Results of simulation and measurement indicate that the proposed ...

In communication networks, cooperative strategies are coding schemes where network nodes work together to improve network performance metrics such as sum-rate. This work studies encoder cooperation in the setting of a discrete multiple access channel with two encoders and a single decoder. A node in the network that is connected to both encoders via rate-limited links, referred to as the cooper...

to testify the contrastive properties of two combinations of emotional intelligence (ei) index including emotional vs. cognitive subscale dyads among some one hundred and twenty university students (52 male & 68 female), this study was carried out to predict their success in their general english (ge) course during one academic semester. datasets were obtained through a self-report bar's o...
