Yes that’s a lot of buzzwords. And you’d be right in thinking that there is a huge amount written about these technologies independently so why link them like a strange radio show challenge. Well, it turns out that many of the technologies are reaching a stage of maturity that could potentially move simulation into the more common IT realm of business process management. This is the world of bu...

This paper makes an intensive study of the realizations and related key technologies in the 3D urban traffic simulation system. First, the system can quickly edit the scenes of the 3D urban, including buildings, roads, etc. It describes the roads using the graph structure, then, the constrained Delaunay algorithm is applied to reconstruct the mesh of the road and terrain. The most important, th...

For the deficiency of High Level Architecture (HLA), it is not well suited for large-scale distributed simulation systems. To enhance the capability of HLA and satisfy the new requirements of large-scale distributed simulations, an efficient and secure cloudbased distributed simulation system, namely CDS, based on the cloud computing technology and HLA is proposed. CDS provides a service-orient...

The challenges of an aging population require the adoption of inhome and medical technologies to complement the traditional caregiver model. Adoption of such technologies is, however, impinged by privacy concerns. This study investigates a four dimensional framework that explains the tradeoffs between functionality and privacy as constructed by older adults. The four dimensions constitute perce...

The physiologic importance of the endometrium in assisted reproductive technology is now receiving much research attention. The historical importance of ultrasound for determination of endometrial pattern, thickness and contractility is reviewed and speculation provided for a possible mechanism of the adverse effect of thin endometrium on implantation.

Storage Area Networks (SANs) have become an essential part of today’s enterprise computing. The paper reports the design of SANs based on metro Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks technologies. It reviews related SAN technologies. It also presents analysis and simulation results of a proposed architecture. Throughput, delay and packet dropping probability results are presented under...

Bulk-driven MOSFET technique meets the low-voltage and low-power requirements demanded in the modern analog circuit design. Due to submicron/nanometer technologies and critical short-channel effects, choosing a suitable MOSFET model for circuit design becomes increasingly important. However, the conventional MOSFET models normally set up for the typical gate-driven applications may not perform ...

Most economic evaluations that participate in decision-making processes for incorporation and financing of technologies of health systems use decision models to assess the costs and benefits of the compared strategies. Despite the large number of economic evaluations conducted in Brazil, there is a pressing need to conduct an in-depth methodological study of the types of decision models and the...
