Virtualization has become an essential technology for organizations. With on-demand services from vendors, a substantial rise in the use of virtualization has been noticed. Today there are various kinds of virtualization ...

Internet connectivity which was in experimental stages only a few years ago is a reality today. Current implementations allow passengers to access Internet for pleasure and in some cases secure VPN access is provided to ...

Cache memories are commonly used to reduce the number of slower lower-level memory accesses, thereby improving the memory hierarchy performance. However, high cache miss-ratio can severely degrade system performance. It ...

Estimating the channel state information (CSI) of several transmitters that use orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBC) to communicate with a single receiver is considered. Based on rank revealing QR (RRQR) factorization ...

In this work, we consider a multiple degree of freedom robotic plant with joint hysteresis and without velocity measurement. We show, by construction, how a semi-globally exponential hysteresis observer/controller that ...

For mass production, the traditional approach of drawing the confidence limits was satisfactory when many bad units were being produced; however, the same approach becomes ineffective for high yield processes, when the ...

With the recent advances in wireless communications and networking area, it has been a great challenge for researchers to improve a medium access protocol for providing an efficient service differentiation in wireless ad ...

Designing a medium access control (MAC) protocol that simultaneously provides high throughput and allows individual users to share limited spectrum resources fairly, especially in the short-term time horizon, is a challenging ...
