Macro-programming is the new generation advanced method of using Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs), where application developers can extract data from sensor nodes through a high level abstraction of the system. Instead of developing the entire application, task graph representation of the WSN model presents simplified approach of data collection. However, mapping of tasks onto sensor nodes highli...

Application specific programmable systems are capable of high performance implementations while remaining flexible enough to support a range of applications. Architects of these systems achieve high performance through domain specific optimizations, often introduced at the expense of programming productivity. We examine one of the most performance critical and time consuming steps to arriving a...

Grid systems, constituted bymultisite andmulti–owner time– shared resources, make a great amount of locally unemployed computational power accessible to users. To profitably exploit this power for processing computationally intensive grid applications, an efficient multisite mapping must be conceived. The mapping of cooperating and communicating application subtasks, already known as NP–complet...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the spatial changes of groundwater phosphate concentrations using geostatistical methods based on data from 10 groundwater wells. One of the conventional tools in decision making on the groundwater management is geostatistical method. To evaluate the spatial changes of phosphate concentrations in groundwater, the universal kriging method with cross-vali...

The main problem associated with the traditional approach to image classification for the mapping of hydrothermal alteration is that materials not associated with hydrothermal alteration may be erroneously classified as hydrothermally altered due to the similar spectral properties of altered and unaltered minerals. The major objective of this paper is to investigate the potential of a neuro-fuz...

Random amplified microsatellite polymorphism (RAMP) is a PCR-based marker which uses a combination of two classes of markers: Simple sequence repeat (SSR) and Random amplified DNA polymorphism (RAPD) markers. RAMP has been demonstrated to be a potentially valuable molecular marker for the study of genetic relationships in cultivated plant species. The objective of this study was to optimize the...

This paper deals with self-adapting software that is structured according to a control theory architecture. Such software contains, in addition to its main function, two components a Controller and a Quality-of-Service module. We show an example of an application and analyze the mapping of this application onto various control theory-based architectures. The application is a radar-based target ...

Groupware applications used in distributed office environments are characterized by several users accessing and manipulating a shared document pool in a collaborative context. Supporting such application with relational database persistence and object technology requires two main features: (1) a sound and generic mapping from the object-oriented application schema to the relational data model, ...
