In this paper we evaluate the promise held by low-power embedded architectures to implement SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) algorithms. We map and implement 4 SLAM algorithms, that find utility in very different robot applications and autonomous navigation, on an embedded architecture. Our results show that low-power embedded architectures are indeed, sometimes, attractive alternative for some SLAM algorithms. At the same time, efficient software optimizations are mandatory to allow a real-time execution.

The Weighted Despreading Sequences are deployed for an optimal use in Multiple Access Interference annulation caused by users multiple access to the channel. Our paper's aim is to develop a simple method based on Wavelet Networks to calculate these WDS MC-DS/CDMA system. As illustrated by simulations, the proposed technique is an ideal alternative for MAI cancellation with BPSK modulation in AWGN channel.

With rapid advances in nanotechnologies, Wireless Nanosensor Networks (WNSNs) have been emerged as a typical subclass of WSNs but at nano-scale. WNSN is a new communication fabric that allows nanonodes to connect to each other using new mechanisms such as molecular (or chemical) and electromagnetic. Unlike traditional WSNs, nanonodes are tiny with limited resources (e.g., computation, memory and energy) and therefore, are not able to communicate with the destination node using a single-hop scenario. The flooding mechanism, in which each node rebroadcasts the message once, was adopted for broadcasting in electromagnetic-based WNSNs. While the flooding mechanism is very simple, it is not efficient since most of the nanonodes are expected to rebroadcast a message at the same time, thus collisions are likely to occur. Furthermore, the excess number of rebroadcasts increases resources utilization that affects the network performance and increases energy consumption. In this paper, we investigate the flooding algorithm in the context of WNSNs and compare it with counter-based and probabilistic-based broadcasting mechanisms that are proposed for MANETs.

HTTP adaptive streaming is used by a numerous video streaming services in the internet. It facilitates video streaming through heterogeneous network, without the need of a dictated streaming infrastructure. The benefit of HTTP Adaptive Streaming, compared to classical HTTP, is the reduction of the interruption, i.e. stalling event, and the use of bandwidth. This technology tries to adapt the video to the variation of the network condition. It take into account different information such as end user device capacity, available bandwidth, video quality level, current network conditions, and current server load. It enable, also, the service provide to improve resource utilization and the perceived video quality, i.e. Quality of Experience. This paper introduces the reader this important concept. It presents also a newest classification of different HAS's influencing factors. The different issues and challenges related to HTTP Adaptive Streaming are also discussed in this paper.

Software-defined networking (SDN) are the rising technology in near future to build programmable networks as a way to simplify the evolution of networks. It is a new networking paradigm with the main aim is to decouple forwarding hardware from control decisions. Several SDN architectures have been recently proposed and evaluated. Performance evaluation of these architectures, to study their scalability, was mainly performed using either simulations or experiments. Generally, experimenting with a real system is ex-pensive or impossible. Simulations are extremely slow especially for large systems and provide little insight on how different design parameters affect the actual performance. Therefore, modeling is more effective for evaluating and optimizing SDN architectures prior their implementation. In this paper, we used Network Calculus to study two typical SDN control plane structures, including centralized, hierarchical with 2level. The model describes the behavior of switches and controllers and allows extracting some performance metrics, mainly the delay and backlog.

In this paper we use the paper as a substrate for the design of UHF RFID Tag. The paper use is intended to reduce the cost of manufacturing tags and also preserve the environment because the paper is a ubiquitous material with low cost and friend of the environment which will facilitate deployment of the RFID system at large scale. The design is a meander antenna, which will reduce the size of the design, which can be used on small object, mounted on a Kodak photo paper substrate.

The automatic planning community of Artificial Intelligence AI have developed a de facto standard language for PDDL, producing formal modeling of Planning problems. Equally it have conceived and produced tools called planners to automatically generate plans for PDDL descriptions. But the verification and validation of PDDL descriptions is little treated topic. In this paper, we shall treat this issue through the Event-B formal method. We illustrate the contribution of the static analysis tools associated with Event-B (provers, model checker, animator, and simulator) for verification and validation of PDDL descriptions.

Document similarity measures between documents and queries has been extensively studied in information retrieval. Measuring the similarity of documents are crucial components of many text-analysis tasks, including information retrieval, document classification, and document clustering. However, there are a growing number of tasks that require computing the similarity between two very short segments of text. There exist a large number of composed documents in a large amount of corpus. Most of them are required to compute the similarity for validation. In this paper, we propose our approach of measuring similarity between documents in large amount of corpus. For evaluation, we compare the proposed approach with other approaches previously presented by using our new MapReduce algorithm. Simulation results, on Hadoop framework, show that our new MapReduce algorithm outperforms the classical ones in term of running time performance and increases the value of the similarity.

The first filter used in C-band has a fractional bandwidth of 3.8 % centered at 6 GHz and insertion loss of 0.9 dB. The second in the frequency band 8–12.5 (X-band) has a fractional bandwidth 2.7 % centered at the midband frequency 9.27 GHz with insertion loss of 0.84 dB and an out-of-band rejection level of 70 dB.
