Many simulation-based performance studies of interconnection networks are carried out using synthetic workloads under the assumption of independent traffic sources. We show that this assumption, although may be useful for some traffic patterns, can lead to deceptive performance results for loads beyond saturation. Network throughput varies so much amongst the network nodes that average throughp...

In this paper, we investigate the performance of wireless ad hoc networks with traffic loads beyond saturation. While it is desirable to operate a network below saturation, an ad hoc network should be designed to degrade its performance gracefully under severe loads. Using AODV (ad hoc on-demand distance vector) and 802.11 as example routing and MAC (Medium Access Control) level protocols, we s...

INTRODUCTION In occupational, military and recreational activities, loads are often carried in a backpack. Modern backpacks utilise a hip belt and shoulder straps to redistribute the load from the back to the large muscle groups surrounding the hips and legs in an attempt to protect the lower back from injury. However, by redistributing these loads the lower limbs are subjected to repetitive me...

Overhead cranes are usually operated manually to move heavy loads. Fast and smooth movements of the loads are the main objectives of crane operations. However, both the objectives always contradict with each other, so that it is hard to achieve positioning and swing control simultaneously by using conventional methods. This paper presents the adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller (AFSMC) to re...
