Traffic Management and Congestion Control are major issues in high speed networks. Congestion represents an overloaded condition in a network. In this paper, we described existing Multi-Agent architecture for management of ATM networks. We developed a software module using Java, by using Optimal Routing for controlling congestion in high speed networks. We described the steps to be followed in ...

Background: Although maximal sprint speed (MSS) and the anaerobic speed reserve (ASR) provides valuable information about the speed profile of athletes, these parameters fall short of providing important information about sub-maximal metabolic thresholds. The only field test that can offer an estimate of a sub-maximal metabolic threshold is the 3-minute all-out test for running (3MT) which deli...

The coolant temperature of internal combustion engines can be regulated effectively by advanced thermal management systems that feature multiple computer controlled servomotor actuators (i.e., a variable position smart valve, variable speed electric water pump, variable speed electric radiator fan). When the components of the advanced thermal management system function harmoniously, desired the...

complicacy, variety and ever-increasing changes, assumed as outstandingly evident organizational environment features, impose a situation where inconsiderate attitude or carelessness could end in loss of competitiveness or even survival among rivals. today, organizations have come to the point that nothing, but knowledge and innovation could make them desirably successful in a competitive world...

With the fast development of high-speed railway (HSR), the demand for mobile communication on high-speed trains is increasingly growing. This leads to significant attention on the study of resource management in HSR wireless communications with limited bandwidth. Resource management is a challenging problem due to heterogenous quality of service (QoS) requirements and dynamic characteristics of...

On-chip optical clock distribution is being investigated as a fbture means to increase clock speed and reduce clock power. While extremely small skew in the arrival of an on-chip optical signal can be achieved, the conversion of the optical signal to a local electrical clock may be subject to substantial variation. A baseline receiver circuit has been designed and fabricated. We find that sensi...

Friction modeling and identification is a prerequisite for the accurate control of electromechanical systems. This paper considers the identification and control of friction in a high load torque DC motor to the end of achieving accurate tracking. Model-based friction compensation in the feedforward part of the controller is considered. For this purpose, friction model structures ranging from t...

A study was undertaken at NASA Langley Research Center to establish, demonstrate, and apply methodology for modeling and implementing the aerodynamic effects of MANPADS damage to a transport aircraft into real-time flight simulation, and to demonstrate a preliminary capability of using such a simulation to conduct an assessment of aircraft survivability. Key findings from this study include: su...

Work-related driving safety is an emerging concern for Australian and overseas organisations. Research has shown that road crashes are the most common cause of work-related fatalities, injuries and absences from work. This study’s objectives were to identify driver characteristics which pose potential risks to work-related driving safety within the organisation, as well as determining the value...
