We present an overview of key aspects of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program Climate Research Facility (ACRF) data quality assurance program. Processes described include instrument deployment and calibration; instrument and facility maintenance; data collection and processing infrastructure; data stream inspection and assessment; problem reporting, review and resolution; data ar...

An XML brokerage system is a distributed XML database system that comprises of data sources and brokers which, respectively, hold XML documents and document distribution information. Databases can be queried through brokers with no schema-relevant or geographical difference being noticed. However, all existing information brokerage systems view or handle query brokering and access control as tw...

As the network traffic increasing significantly due to increase in Data streaming, Big Analytics, Cloud Computing, Increasing load on Centers, Which leads demand for high computational capabilities, low latency, high-bandwidth, power efficient data accelerators. Re-Configurability of FPGA’s are more flexible developing customized applications, so FPGA hardware based accelerators potential devic...

This paper studies the end-to-end flow control strategy of delivering videos over a data path, where in one end, a server retrieves large fixed-sized video blocks from its disk drive at a constant block rate. In the other end, a client consumes variable-sized compressed video frames at a fixed frame rate. Between the two ends, a network channel transmits small fixed-sized cells at a constant ce...

This paper describes a wireless sensor network that monitored water extraction rate, salinity and water table level. The network collected real-time water quality measurements in order to investigate the impacts of current irrigation practice on the environment, in particular underground water salination. Particular challenges included a large coverage area, a sparse network with mean link dist...
