collaborative spectrum sensing (css) is an effective approach to improve the detection performance in cognitive radio (cr) networks. inherent characteristics of the cr have imposed some additional security threats to the networks. one of the common threats is primary user emulation attack (puea). in puea, some malicious users try to imitate primary signal characteristics and defraud the cr user...

Overview: Since the dot-com revolution in early 2000s, traditional, vertically integrated firms have attempted to innovate using multi-sided digital platforms, matching customer and supplier groups resolve needs of both. These firms’ underlying logic has disrupted traditional business models, enabling them introduce new counterintuitive value creation, delivery, capture configurations. Using Ub...

1 Description of the Model This case study is analog to the one described in [2]. We considered a system consisting of a fixed number of m processors and an infinite queue for storing job requests. The processing speed of a processor is described by the rate γ, while λ describes the incoming rate of new jobs. If a new job arrives while at least one processor is idle, the job will be processed d...

We study the problem of optimally controlling the use of sleep states in an energy-aware M/G/1 queue. In our model, we consider a family of policies where the server upon becoming idle can wait for a random period before entering, potentially randomly, any of a finite number of possible sleep states to save energy. The server becomes busy again after a possibly random number of jobs have arrive...

In this paper we investigate whether partial reconfiguration can be used to reduce FPGA energy consumption. The core idea is that within a hardware design there are a number of independent circuits, and some can be idle for long periods of time. Idle circuits still consume power though, especially through clock oscillation and static leakage. Using partial reconfiguration we can replace these c...

The Sprite operating system allows executing processes to be moved between hosts at any time. We use this process migration mechanism to offload work onto idle machines, and also to evict migrated processes when idle workstations are reclaimed by their owners. Sprite's migration mechanism provides a high degree of transparency both for migrated processes and for users. Idle machines are identif...

The optimization of energy consumption in the cloud computing environment is the question how to use various energy conservation strategies to efficiently allocate resources. The need of different resources in cloud environment is unpredictable. It is observed that load management in cloud is utmost needed in order to provide QOS. The jobs at over-loaded physical machine are shifted to under-lo...
