Numerous methods have been proposed to integrate real-time and non-real-time services of the timed-token medium access control (MAC) protocol. One of the key issues in tailoring the timed-token MAC protocol for real-time applications is the synchronous bandwidth allocation (SBA) problem whose objective is to meet both the protocol and deadline constraints. Several non-optimal local SBA schemes ...

Query translation in cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) can be done by employing dictionaries, aligned corpora, or machine translators. Scarcity of aligned corpora for various domains in many language pairs intensifies the importance of dictionary-based CLIR which motivates us to use only a bilingual dictionary and two independent collections in source and target languages for query tr...

OBJECTIVE To develop and validate an efficient and accurate method to identify foreign-born patients from a large patient data registry in order to facilitate population-based health outcomes research. METHODS We developed a three-stage algorithm for classifying foreign-born status in HIV-infected patients receiving care in a large US healthcare system (January 1, 2001-March 31, 2012) (n = 9,...

In this paper, we describe a new token based h-out of-k mutual exclusion solution for mobile ad hoc networks. This protocol does neither use the routing layer nor a logical structure and agrees requests based on their distances away to the token, their olds, and there resources number. A request is sent on the routes of the nodes for which a request is present in the local queue, with a dynamic...

Electronic textiles (e-textiles) are emerging as a novel method for constructing electronic systems in wearable and large area applications. This new type of processing system merges textile and electronic technologies. This paper studies the communication requirements between the computing and sensing elements of an e-textile. This communication is studied through the construction of a prototy...

This paper presents the analysis of text based data retrieval system. This paper also introduces the implementation of text retrieval system using Apache Lucene Technology. It gives the significance of Term frequency and Inverse Document Frequency in Lucene’s scoring Formula. This analysis is useful for implementation of system which stores index for local files as well as data from email accou...

A novel non-von Neumann computational model named “Algorithmically Transitive Network” (ATN) is presented. The ATN is a data-flow network composed of operation nodes and data edges. The calculation is propelled with node firing and token creation on the edges. After it finishes, teaching values are given to the answer nodes and an energy function is evaluated, which causes backward propagation ...

The majority of current distributed mutual exclusion algorithms are not suited for parallel or distributed applications on a Grid as they do not consider the heterogeneity of latency on Grids. We propose two distributed mutual exclusion algorithms, based on Naimi-Trehel’s token-based algorithm, which take into account latency gaps, especially those between local and remote clusters of machines....
