Achieving Optimal Schedule by Network Flow Techniques
(2015-08-11)
Scheduling plays an important role in protocol design and performance optimizations for
wireless or wired networks. This dissertation studies how to achieve optimal performance
for two fundamental scheduling problems ...
Investigation of Jordanian pre-service teachers' beliefs about learning and teaching of mathematics
(2013)
This study investigated Jordanian pre-service teachers' beliefs about the learning and teaching of mathematics. One aim of the study was to identify possible explanations for why Jordanian students score much lower than ...
A New Approach for Fast Processing of SPARQL Queries on RDF Quadruples
(2015-06-19)
The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a standard model for representing
data on the Web. It enables the interchange and machine processing of
data by considering its semantics. While RDF was first proposed with the ...
Image compression and energy harvesting for energy constrained sensors
(2013)
The advances in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology
have led to the integration of all components of electronic system into a single integrated
circuit. Ultra-low power circuit techniques have reduced ...
Towards Data Optimization in Storages and Networks
(2015-08-04)
We are encountering an explosion of data volume, as a study estimates that data
will amount to 40 zeta bytes by the end of 2020. This data explosion poses significant
burden not only on data storage space but also access ...
MAC layer resource allocation algorithms for OFDM/TDMA wireless networks
(2014-09-30)
In wireless networks employing OFDMA/TDMA, orthogonal channels and timeslots
are available resources that should be distributed between users fairly and in a
collision-free manner. Furthermore, the available resources ...
Design and validation of wearable wireless sensors
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2013-03-14)
Recent years have seen an increase in research and development efforts towards
wearable and implantable health monitoring systems. Such systems are needed to provide
real-time information about patients to physicians, ...
Finding and Mitigating Geographic Vulnerabilities in Mission Critical Multi-Layer Networks
(2016)
In Air Traffic Control (ATC), communications outages may lead to immediate loss
of communications or radar contact with aircraft. In the short term, there may be safety
related issues as important services including power ...
A Graph Analytics Framework for Knowledge Discovery
(2016)
In the current data movement, numerous efforts have been made to convert and normalize
a large number of traditionally structured and unstructured data to semi-structured data
(e.g., RDF, OWL). With the increasing number ...
Dynamic Virtual Network Restoration with Optimal Standby Virtual Router Selection
(2015)
Network virtualization technologies allow service providers to request partitioned,
QoS guaranteed and fault-tolerant virtual networks provisioned by the substrate network
provider (i.e., physical infrastructure provider). ...
High Availability and Scalability Schemes for Software- Defined Networks (SDN)
(2015)
A proliferation of network-enabled devices and network-intensive applications require
the underlying networks not only to be agile despite of complex and heterogeneous
environments, but also to be highly available and ...
Measurement And Improvement of Quality-of-Experience For Online Video Streaming Services
(2015)
HTTP based online video streaming services have been consistently dominating
the online traffic for the past few years. Measuring and improving the performance of
these services is an important challenge. Traditional ...
DBHAaaS – Database High Availability As A Service For Cloud Computing
(University of Missouri–Kansas City, 2016)
On conventional database systems, the recovery manager applies transaction Undo or Redo
operation or a combination of them to recover the last consistent state of the database from a
system failure. Transaction redo, ...
Energy Efficient Resource Allocation for Virtual Network Services with Dynamic Workload in Cloud Data Centers
(2015)
With the rapid proliferation of cloud computing, more and more network services and
applications are deployed on cloud data centers. Their energy consumption and green
house gas emissions have significantly increased. ...
