Swiper: Exploiting Virtual Machine Vulnerability In Third-Party Clouds with Competition for I/O Resources Abstract? Swiper: Exploiting Virtual Machine Vulnerability In Third-Party Clouds with Competition for I/O Resources. The emerging paradigm of cloud computing, e.g., Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), promises a highly ?exible yet robust environment for large-scale applications. Ideally, while multiple virtual machines (VM)…
Switching Frequency Dynamic Control for DFIG Wind Turbine Performance Improvement around Synchronous Speed Abstract– In a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine (WT), large thermal and mechanical oscillations occur around synchronous speed due to the nearly zero-frequency current circulating between rotor windings. A switching frequency dynamic control technique is proposed in this paper to overcome…
Synchronization-Inspired Partitioning and Hierarchical Clustering Abstract? Synchronization-Inspired Partitioning and Hierarchical Clustering. Synchronization is a powerful and inherently hierarchical concept regulating a large variety of complex processes ranging from the metabolism in a cell to opinion formation in a group of individuals. Synchronization phenomena in nature have been widely investigated and models concisely describing the dynamical…
Synchronous Non-Volatile Logic Gate Design Based on Resistive Switching Memories Abstract?Emerging non-volatile memories (NVM) based on resistive switching mechanism (RS) such as STT-MRAM, OxRRAM and CBRAM etc., are under intense R&D investigation by both academics and industries. They provide high write/read speed, low power and good endurance (e.g., > 1012) beyond mainstream NVMs, < Final...
Synthetic Aperture Radar image nonlinear enhancement algorithm based on NSCT transform Abstract?AbstractDue to the imaging mechanism, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are susceptible to speckle noise, which affects radar image interpretation. So image denoising and enhancement are important topics of improving SAR image performance. A nonlinear image enhancement algorithm based on nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT)…
System of Systems for Quality-of-Service Observation and Response in Cloud Computing Environments Abstract? System of Systems for Quality-of-Service Observation and Response in Cloud Computing Environments. As military, academic, and commercial computing systems evolve from autonomous entities that deliver computing products into network centric enterprise systems that deliver computing as a service, opportunities emerge to consolidate…
System to Recommend the Best Place to Live Based on Wellness State of the User Employing the Heart Rate Variability Abstract-The conditions of the environment a person lives in has a great impact on his wellness state. When buying a new house, it is important to select a place that aids in improving the wellness…
TACI: Taxonomy-Aware Catalog Integration Abstract? A fundamental data integration task faced by online commercial portals and commerce search engines is the integration of products coming from multiple providers to their product catalogs. In this scenario, the commercial portal has its own taxonomy (the ?master taxonomy?), while each data provider organizes its products into a…
Tag Completion for Image Retrieval Abstract?Many social image search engines are based on keyword/tag matching. This is because tag-based image retrieval (TBIR) is not only efficient but also effective. The performance of TBIR is highly dependent on the availability and quality of manual tags. Recent studies have shown that manual tags are often unreliable…
Tag Completion for image Retriveval Abstract? Tag Completion for image Retriveval. Many visual applications have benefited from the outburst of web images, yet the imprecise and incomplete tags arbitrarily provided by users, as the thorn of the rose, may hamper the performance of retrieval or indexing systems relying on such data. In this paper, we…
Tales of Two Cities: Using Social Media to Understand Idiosyncratic Lifestyles in Distinctive Metropolitan Areas Abstract– In the first place, lifestyles are a valuable model for understanding individuals? physical and mental lives, comparing social groups, and making recommendations for improving people?s lives. In addition, examine and compare lifestyle behaviors of people living in cities of…
