|Based on the notion of wave variables, and the idea of wave-integral transmission, a new method is suggested to match the system parameters with changes in the delay. An autoregressive model is used as a predictor to forecast the future values of the delay. The predictions are used with a look-up table to tune the gain with which the wave integrals are to be fed to the system. This gain schedu...

Waveguide analysis is used to predict power levels received in a microcellular system in an urban environment. An Urban street with tall buildings on both sides is modeled by a plate parallel waveguide made of rough plates. The distribution of power among the waveguide modes tends to concentrate in the low order modes, at large distances from the source antenna. The waveguide–based model predic...

While delayed branch mechanisms were popular with the designers of RISC processors, most superscalar processors deploy dynamic branch prediction to minimise run-time branch penalties. We propose a generalised branch delay mechanism that is more suited to superscalar processors. We then quantitatively compare the performance of our delayed branch mechanism with run-time branch prediction, in the...

To substantially improve operational control of complex industrial plants, it is important to be able to predict the influences which process variables have on qualityrelevant target variables. The determination of influencing relationship and also the delay-time behaviour of various industrial processes makes it difficult to synthesis a quality prediction system. A hybrid modeling method combi...

We present an approach which allows to accurately predict both the occurrence and type of partially synchronous regimes of delay-coupled non-linear oscillators. Unlike the conventional approach, we build on an analysis of the stability properties of the synchronized equilibrium in the (coupling gain, delay) parameter space. As partially synchronous regimes are closely related to the presence of...

Land border crossings in North America that serve high volumes of automobile and truck traffic experience congestion and delay, resulting in adverse effects on level of service, transportation costs, commerce, tourism, and the environment. Although efforts have been underway to expedite the customs inspection process (without compromising security), improving the reliability of delay estimates ...

This paper studies low-delay Wyner–Ziv coding, i.e., lossy source coding with side information at the decoder, with emphasis on the extreme of zero delay. To achieve zero delay, a scalar quantizer is followed by scalar coding of quantization indices. In the fixed-length coding scenario, under high-resolution assumptions and appropriately defined decodability constraints, the optimal quantizatio...

Based on analysis of basic cubic spline interpolation, the clamped cubic spline interpolation is generalized in this paper. The methods are presented on the condition that the first derivative and second derivative of arbitrary node are given. The Clamped spline and Curvature-adjusted cubic spline are also generalized. The methods are presented on the condition that the first derivatives of arb...

The effect of packet loss on the quality of real-time audio is significant. Nevertheless, Internet measurement experiments continue to show a considerable variation of packet loss, which makes audio error recovery and concealment challenging. Our objective is to predict packet loss in real-time audio streams based on the available bandwidth and delay variation and trend, enabling proactive erro...

Information systems have been widely adopted to support service processes in various domains, e.g., in the telecommunication, finance, and health sectors. Information recorded by systems during the operation of these processes provide an angle for operational process analysis, commonly referred to as process mining. In this work, we establish a queueing perspective in process mining to address ...
