Distributed multimedia applications need an effective synchronization strategy to deal with the temporal disturbances introduced into the data streams by the transport and operating systems. An essential part of this strategy is scheduling i.e. determining optimal times for the retrieval of data from the data servers. The CITR News-On-Demand project prototype currently uses a centralized synchr...

This paper deals with the problem of clock synchronization in WSN networks. Clocks are modeled as nonidentical double integrators with uncertain zeros and outputs corresponding to their time-readings. Synchronization is achieved through a control strategy based on second order linear consensus-like algorithm, and its robustness with the respect to the uncertainties on the clocks’ dynamics is st...

In this paper1, we present a new synchronization strategy for multimedia applications executed in a distributed environment. This strategy makes the timing properties of the system and the quality of the media presentations predictable since one is able to determine analytically whether the timing requirements of each multimediaapplicationwill be met, and if not, which timing requirements will ...

the threshold of weak and strong synchronization in a coupled chaotic gaussian map isdemonstrated by using the pyragas’ terminology. however, vieira and lichtenberg have shown that thepyragas’ criteria for weak and strong synchronization cannot be used for all chaotic systems. in this articlewe demonstrated some interesting synchronization behavior of two coupled chaotic systems with some zeroa...

In this paper, we discuss the synchronization and anti-synchronization of two identical chaotic T-systems. The adaptive and nonlinear control schemes are used for the synchronization and anti-synchronization. The stability of these schemes is derived by Lyapunov Stability Theorem. Firstly, the synchronization and anti-synchronization are applied to systems with known parameters, then to systems...

Although distributed control in microgrids is well known for reliability and scalability, the absence of a global monitoring entity makes it highly vulnerable to cyber attacks. Considering that detection attacks becomes fairly easy observers, well-planned set balanced attacks, commonly termed as stealth attack, can always bypass these observers with objectives being successfully met. In this le...

Most existing traffic signal synchronization strategies do not perform well in the saturated high-density grid road network (HGRN). Traffic congestion often occurs in the saturated HGRN, and the mobility of the network is difficult to restore. In order to alleviate traffic congestion and to improve traffic efficiency in the network, the study proposes a regional traffic signal synchronization s...

As a new distributed interactive simulation architecture, HLA in visual distributed simulation is limited in real-time. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a distributed simulation based on real-time bus strategy. It uses the real-time bus to command the basis simulation time of the system which ensure time synchronization among the federal members, and then achieve the entire distribute...
