A cellular engineer typically estimates system performance via simulation. Most cellular operations software provides data from which one can infer the average, busy hour, subscriber location distribution, which becomes an input to the simulation. When the simulation does not include mobility, as is typical with Monte Carlo simulations, modeling this distribution is a straight-forward task. How...

Proxy system modeling can be used in paleoclimatology to improve the interpretation of paleoclimate data. Existing forward models for climate proxies are somewhat scattered in the literature, making their integration difficult. Further, each model has been coded separately, according to disparate conventions. Here, we present a comprehensive, consistently formatted package of forward models for...

A key challenge in example-based program synthesis is the gigantic search space of programs. To address this challenge, various work proposed to use abstract interpretation prune space. However, most existing approaches have focused only on forward interpretation, and thus cannot fully exploit power interpretation. In paper, we propose a novel approach inductive via iterative forward-backward T...

In this project we explored a novel topology of artificial neural networks, using the techniques of agent-based modeling. Common neural network topologies, such as feed forward networks, do not reflect recent advances in the study of complex biological networks. We have used techniques from agent based modeling to create a neural network that develops a scale-free topology. We modeled the neuro...

This paper presents a stochastic modeling framework for store-and-forward packet routing in Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) with postural partitioning. A prototype WBANs has been constructed for experimentally characterizing and capturing on-body topology disconnections in the presence of ultrashort range radio links, unpredictable RF attenuation, and human postural mobility. Delay modeling ...

The next advance in field crop productivity will likely need to come from improving crop use efficiency of resources (e.g., light, water, and nitrogen), aspects of which are closely linked with overall crop photosynthetic efficiency. Progress in genetic manipulation of photosynthesis is confounded by uncertainties of consequences at crop level because of difficulties connecting across scales. C...
