A new revised multiple description SPIHT coding is proposed to combat packet loss. According to the region of interest of human eyes, the method reorders the zero trees of wavelets and assigns different coding rates to redundant trees. Simulation results show that the method can improve the image quality both objectively and subjectively compared to other multiple description coding methods in the case of packet loss.

This paper presents a RAte-based Multicast Protocol for lArge-scale Reliable Transport (RAMPART), which is designed to provide scalable, TCP-friendly and responsive reliable multicast transport service for applications of bulk-data transfer. We proposed a dual-bitmap mechanism to solve the problem of duplicate packets and eliminate unnecessary retransmissions. A new scalable indirect RTT measurement algorithm is introduced. And Specific Receiver selection process is distributed among all group members with records of Local/spl I.bar/SR/spl I.bar/rate and Global/spl I.bar/SR/spl I.bar/rate assuring correct SR selection and avoiding frequent SR changes. Control tree is constructed with the aid of multicast routers using a label-based sorting algorithm. RAMPART protocol was implemented on NS. Simulations were conducted with respect to RTT measurement, throughput analysis and TCP-friendliness. The results show RAMPART is effective.

This paper introduces a novel reprocessing-transaction model that handles the update conflicts between mobile transactions without abortion. The proposed model executes a new subtransaction, called a reprocessing transaction, which reupdates only conflicted objects using foreign conflicted objects. We also propose a progressive reprocessing scheme to allow the non-conflicted objects of a mobile transaction to be incrementally exposed to other concurrent transactions in order to alleviate starvation of reprocessing transactions.

In order to reuse and integrate all resources, many distance learning standards have appeared. The most famous is the Shareable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM). SCORM is composed of a run-time environment (RTE), a content agreement model and LMS. SOAP allows objects or code of any kind, on any platform, in any language to communicate. .Net Web Service combines XML and some programming IDE to develop a server, which uses SOAP to implement the launch mechanism and AICC CMI data model. Java script is used to implement the client side.

The dual-bus optical network with non-regenerative stations has become popular. In general, the non-regenerative implementation is better than the generative implementation. In this paper, two protocols are proposed to improve the performance of this network. These two protocols are "synchronous wavelength sharing protocol (SWSP)" and "synchronous wavelength reusing/sharing protocol (SWRP)". The simulation results show that the network throughput is better than those of SWSP in the situation of a limited number of wavelengths, tunable receivers and heavy traffic loading.

Packet scheduling is typically designed to support the delay requirements of video communication. In this paper, a new innovative use of packet scheduling to provide loss guarantees is proposed. A packet scheduling scheme at a router that assures that intra and interstream loss requests for video transportation are met was developed and evaluated using real video data. The results show that the proposed scheme can significantly improve the quality of each video. It can also provide different classes of videos with different levels of loss guarantees, while maintaining service fairness among all competing videos.

Cluster is an aggregation of computers to obtain powerful computing energy. In this paper, we discuss the ability of its power to provide remote service. We focus on the convenience for remote users to submit their tasks, providing a friendly environment to run the tasks efficiently, and maintaining the equity of the service between each user. To achieve this outcome, the scheduling method must avoid the properties that will benefit the system performance but impair the equity between users as well. We also supply users with limited means to enhance their task running speed and executive environment. These means exert a considerable influence on the system performance, but at the same time expend more than the average approach. The variance is embodied in the final evaluation of the service quality the user obtains. With the above character, the system presents a little differently than traditional ones, which consider mostly the cluster load balance and performance. We also regard the system balance as an important standard. However, this concern is based on sustaining a credible service.

This paper introduces a natural implementation for broadcasting data on Ethernet based clusters used for parallel computing. Initially, it will be shown that libraries for Message Passing between processes such as PVM and implementations of MPI do not implement efficiently this operation or there is no reliability in terms of its performance. An implementation for broadcast messages is presented, taking into account the Ethernet based hardware layer found in most of the clusters used for parallel computing. The proposed implementation for broadcasting data is compared with the broadcast message available in PVM and LAM/MPI. Also, some comments are made about the proposed broadcast messages when the hardware layer is not Ethernet based. Finally, it will be shown by experimentation how the proposed broadcast message is used in the context of parallel linear algebra operations, specifically for parallel matrix multiplication.

Recently, much attention has been focused on potential Internet technology for delivering medical care. Many researchers are trying to adapt network technologies to telemedicine. Network technology, which makes possible instant communication over great distances, could control devices in remote places in real time. In particular, the broadband Internet achieves transmission of high quality video image data and other huge amounts of data to distant places. Therefore, transmitting high-quality video images that medical doctors request should not be so difficult. The IPv6 network technology that will be applied to the Next-Generation Internet will provide a large increase of global IP addresses. Many people anticipate that various medical devices will be connected to networks with ease. We report research conducted to examine the effectiveness of device cooperation for medical purposes. To this end, we developed a remote-control microscope that we are proposing as next-generation remote-control medical equipment. We developed this microscope by using a technology called "Network Accessible Device on the Internet Architecture" (NADIA). In an effort to create a remote medical system for use with the next-generation Internet, we developed and confirmed the effectiveness of the ProcessStorageMicroscopeNAD, a machine that combines three devices.
