The problem of discriminating keyword and non-keyword speech which is important in wordspotting applications is addressed. We have shown that garbage models cannot reduce both the rejection and false alarm rates simultaneously. To achieve this we have proposed a new scoring and search method for HMM based wordspotting without garbage models. This is a simple forward search method which incorporates the duration modelling of the keyword for efficient discrimination of keyword and non-keyword speech. This method is computationally fast, which makes it suitable for real-time implementation. The results are reported on a speaker independent database containing 10 keywords embedded in 150 carrier sentences.

A crucial QoS parameter, initial response time for a new request, was often neglected while designing or evaluating the storage subsystem of a video server in previous studies. For different types of services such as interactive video-on-demand, near video-on-demand, and pay-per-view systems, the initial delay of a new request can vary from 0.5 seconds to 5 minutes. This issue has a deep impact on choosing an efficient disk scheduling and data placement scheme for a particular type of video service. In this paper, a new performance model is proposed to evaluate the efficiency of a disk-based video server, in which both factors, number of supported streams and allowable response time, for new requests are considered simultaneously. According to the proposed model, the most efficient storage configuration can be easily obtained under the given parameters.

With the appearance of the microcell and in-building systems, the cellular mobile networks and the personal communication systems (PCS) have been established in the three-dimensional space. A traffic model and analysis for both the cubic and proposed body-centered-cubic (BCC) cells with handoff are examined. The blocking probability and the handoff attempt failure probability are derived and presented. In this study, three schemes for call traffic handling are considered. One is nonprioritized and two are priority oriented. Fixed channel assignment is considered. In the nonprioritized scheme, the base stations make no distinction between new call attempts and handoff attempts. Attempts which find all channels occupied are cleared. In the two priority schemes, a fixed number of channels in each cell are reserved exclusively for handoff calls. Appropriate analytical models and criteria are developed and used to derive the performance characteristics.

In this paper, we propose a neural network (NN) approach for adaptive bandwidth allocation in ATM networks. This method is essentially based on the dynamic time-slice (DTS) scheme proposed by K. Sriram (1993) which guarantees a required bandwidth for each traffic class and/or virtual circuit (VC). Instead of using analytical static traffic tables to allocate bandwidth, we use NNs to adaptively estimate the effective bandwidths of different call types to reflect the time-varying nature of traffic conditions. Simulation results show that the neural estimation is more accurate and hence leads to higher resource utilization. The NN approach also provides faster response in reallocation of bandwidth to meet the stringent delay requirements.

The development of computer and communication technologies has reached a point where automation becomes a versatile tool for solving crucial problems relating to process control, plant supervision and information management. However, though, automation is powerful for solving control problems, it is short of capability to handle coordination and cooperation issues, therefore, requiring the incorporation of appropriate CSCW (computer-supported cooperative work) tools. This paper introduces a simple, but effective, CSCW architecture-the "virtual whiteboard", which is able to facilitate multimedia information, such as text, graphics and images. The paper also presents the construction of such a whiteboard prototype system which, written in C, which currently runs in an X-Windows environment, using communication based on TCP/IP protocols and Ethernet/ATM LANs. Another prototype system which runs on Window NT and telephone networks is under development.

In a paper published earlier by Lin and Qiu (see Proc. International Conference of Telecommunications (ICT), p.117-22, 1997), the authors discussed some issues related to the TES modelling of hybrid coded VBR video sources in the context of transmission in a high speed digital network and ATM based networks in particular. It has been shown that the (transform-expand-sample) TES traffic models are capable of analysing and matching the statistical characteristics of hybrid coded VBR video sources. This paper investigates some further correlation issues (autocorrelation, cross correlation) related with TES modelling of hybrid coded VBR video.

The IETF RFC1577 "Classical IP and ARP over ATM" specification supports IP services on the ATM network configured as an LIS (logical IP subnetwork) using the ATMARP protocol. However the IPOA method based on the RFC1577 requires that the router should be used between different LISs. Also communication across the LISs needs one or more IP routers and results in an unnecessary hop-by-hop delay. Therefore the classical IPOA mechanism can not make full use of the ATM network performance. We have investigated a method where the RFC1577 can support a direct connection for communication between two endpoints in different LISs without the help of intermediate routers. This means that the resolution server on the current domain gets to know the ATM address of the destination somehow though the destination belongs to a different LIS. To do this, we propose an advanced IPOA mechanism using the LAG (local address group) instead of the traditional LIS model. We present the IP network configuration using the LAG model over an ATM network. We also present the simple address resolution protocol which uses the ATMARP packets defined in the RFC1577 to resolve the ATM address of the IP entity regardless of their address group.

A new method for computing an estimate of the time-varying magnitude squared coherence (MSC) between two data sequences is presented. The method estimates the time-varying MSC function by using a modulator and a lowpass filter and is compared with a method using a bandpass filter and the Hilbert transform through computer simulation.

We present two resource reservation schemes which are intended for different real-time VBR video application scenarios with different resource requirements. The static scheme makes a CBR reservation based on a target rate while the dynamic scheme relies on the RCBR service to achieve an efficient resource utilization. In each scheme, a traffic smoothing process is employed to regulate the video traffic such that it ensures video display continuity and meets the resource restrictions imposed by the application or the network. The smoothing algorithms are directly adapted from some smoothing optimization methods for stored videos with additional considerations of the real-time requirements. Quantization controls are initiated only when the smoothing results are known or are likely to violate the resource restrictions in the future.
