Increase in the scientific disciplines has caused large data collections as important community resources. The volume of interesting data is already measured in terabytes and will soon total in peta-bytes. This research proposal presents the issue of processing massive amount of satellite data. A single LEO satellite sends around 2 GB of data in 24 hours of a day. To process this huge amount of...

The Open Grid Forum (OGF) is an organization that resulted from the merger of the Global Grid Forum (GGF) and the Enterprise Grid Alliance (EGA). GGF was an international organization that started in 1999, with the focus on the development of open standards for grid soft ware interoperability, common practices, agreements and other related issues and proposed several specifications with the hel...

The amount of information available on the WWW is vast and growing at a staggering rate. The result of this growth was that users were unable to explore the vast recourses of the Internet. The answer to that problem was the search engines. Internet search engines first appeared in the mid-90s, but have, in a few years, made themselves part of our everyday lives. Following the global trend greek...

Target tracking is a challenging problem for wireless sensor networks because sensor nodes carry limited power recourses. Thus, scheduling of sensor nodes must focus on power conservation. It is possible to extend the lifetime of a network by dynamic clustering and duty cycling. Sensor Scheduling Algorithm Target Tracking-oriented is proposed in this paper. When the target occurs in the sensing...

There is an interest in extracting knowledge and retrieving information automatically from the current availability of a large collection of electronic resources and from the academic literature available on the Web. Much of Thus, researchers may miss relevant, even critical, information in parallel or disparate fields, which in turn may lead them to recreate information already developed or to...

This paper presents algorithms that (1) facilitate system-independent synthesis of timing-interfaces for subsystems and (2) system-level selection of interfaces to minimize CPU load. The results presented are developed for hierarchical fixed-priority scheduling of subsystems that may share logical recourses (i.e., semaphores). We show that the use of shared resources results in a tradeoff probl...

Computational grid portals are becoming essential tools in automotive companies world-wide for managing compute resources for virtual engineering and design. Many automotive and associated manufacturing industries are taking initiatives for making the computing resources transparent from the integrated design environment. This paper illustrates how the grid portal technologies can fulfil these ...

The paper deals with synthesis of sequential circuits defined by their algorithmic state machine notation. Such circuits have a number of specific properties which enable efficient design of the circuits by utilizing so-called linearization techniques. A typical linearization technique includes calculation of autocorrelation values for a system of logic functions corresponding to the circuit. F...

Hyperspectral sensors provide much richer information than comparable multispectral sensors. However currently we do not have sufficient recourses to compute results based on all the gathered information. One way to approach this problem is to perform dimension reduction [1] as pre-processing, i.e to apply a transformation that brings data from a high order dimension to a low order dimension. W...
