Coordinated and Adaptive Information Collecting in Target Tracking Wireless Sensor Networks Abstract?Coordinated and Adaptive Information Collecting in Target Tracking Wireless Sensor Networks. Energy conservation has been known as the most important issue for many applications in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). For data gathering in a clustered sensor network, most existing work focuses on fusing data…
Coordinated Control of a DG and Voltage Control Devices Using a Dynamic Programming Algorithm Abstract?A new control method, in which a distributed generator (DG) actively participates in steady-state voltage control, together with an under-load tap changer (ULTC) and shunt capacitors (Sh.Cs). In the conventional DG control method, the integration of DGs into a distribution…
Coplanar Full Adder in Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata via Clock-Zone-Based Crossover Abstract?We use a coplanar QCA crossover architecture in the design of QCA full adders that leads to reduction of QCA cell count and area consumption without any latency penalty. This crossover uses non-adjacent clock zones for the two crossing wires. We further investigate the impact…
Copyright Protection for E-Government Document Images Abstract?The proposed copyright protection scheme combines the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and singular value decomposition (SVD) using a control parameter to avoid the false-positive problem. In this article, we propose an efficient copyright protection scheme for e-government document images. First, we apply the discrete cosine transform (DCT) to…
CORDIC Designs for Fixed Angle of Rotation Abstract? CORDIC Designs for Fixed Angle of Rotation. Rotation of vectors through fixed and known angles has wide applications in robotics, digital signal processing, graphics, games, and animation. But, we do not find any optimized coordinate rotation digital computer (CORDIC) design for vector-rotation through specific angles. Therefore, in…
Corruptive Artifacts Suppression for Example – Based Color Transfer Abstract?Corruptive Artifacts Suppression for Example – Based Color Transfer. Example-based color transfer is a critical operation in image editing but easily suffers from some corruptive artifacts in the mapping process. In this paper, we propose a novel unified color transfer framework with corruptive artifacts suppression, which…
Cortical Surface Reconstruction via Unified Reeb Analysis of Geometric and Topological Outliers in Magnetic Resonance Images Abstract?we present a novel system for the automated reconstruction of cortical surfaces from T1-weighted magnetic resonance images. At the core of our system is a unified Reeb analysis framework for the detection and removal of geometric and topological outliers…
COSAC: A Framework for Combinatorial Statistical Analysis on Cloud. Abstract?COSAC: A Framework for Combinatorial Statistical Analysis on Cloud. In many scientific applications, it is critical to determine if there is a relationship between a combination of objects. The strength of such an association is typically computed using some statistical measures. In order not to miss…
Cost Effective Resource Allocation of Overlay Routing Relay Nodes Abstract?Overlay routing in a very attractive scheme that allows improving certain properties of the routing without the need to change the standards of the current underlying routing. However, deploying overlay routing requires the placement and maintenance of overlay infrastructure. This gives rise to the following <…
Cost Effective, Reliable and Secure Workflow Deployment over Federated Cloud Abstract?The significant growth in cloud computing has led to increasing number of cloud providers, each offering their service under different conditions ? one might be more secure whilst another might be less expensive or more reliable. At the same time user applications have become more…
Cost Effective, Reliable and Secure Workflow Deployment over Federated Clouds Abstract?The federation of clouds can provide benefits for cloud-based applications. Different clouds have different advantages ? one might be more reliable whilst another might be more secure or less expensive. However, being able to select the best combination of clouds to meet the application requirements…
