Communication satellites offer an efficient way to extend IP multicast services for groups in wide-area networks. This poses interesting challenges for routing and security. Satellite networks can have wired and wireless links and different link-layer technologies like Ethernet and ATM. For security,
The current IEEE 802.11 medium access control standard is being deployed in coffee shops, airports and even across major cities. The terminals accessing these wi-fi access points do not belong to the same entity, as in corporate networks, but are usually individually
Ad-hoc wireless networks distinguish themselves from their traditional wired counterparts by three unique characteristics: mobility, lack of infrastructure, and shared wireless channel. These properties have gained popularity in various military and civilian applications, but have also introduced challenging problems in terms of
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) in electronic devices is one of the major challenges in the design of high-speed electronic packages. These challenges are intensified by the increase in the level of system integration and the ever-increasing operating frequency of microprocessors. EMI takes place
Many systems in engineering applications are modeled as piecewise smooth systems. The piecewise smoothness presents great challenges for stability analysis and control synthesis for these systems. Over the years, the theory of absolute stability has been one of the few tools developed
The transport of intense beams for advanced accelerator applications with high-intensity beams such as heavy-ion inertial fusion, spallation neutron sources, and intense light sources requires tight control of beam characteristics over long distances. The University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER), which uses
Constructing 3D models from video is one of the most important problems in computer vision. We propose a novel 3D face modeling approach from monocular video captured by a conventional camera. An algorithm is proposed to estimate the head pose by comparing
One of the prominent challenges in deploying Wide Area Applications (WAA) is scalable performance management. The unpredictable behavior of WAN calls for models to predict the end-to-end latency between a client and server…. Contents 1 Introduction 1.1 Wide Area Application and Challenges
Connectivity is one of the most fundamental properties of wireless ad-hoc networks as most network functions are predicated upon the network being connected. Although increasing node transmission power will improve network connectivity, too large a power level is not feasible as energy
The motivation of this dissertation is to develop a ‘Seeing-Eye‘ video-based interface for the visually impaired to access environmental text information. We are concerned with those daily activities of the low-vision people involved with interpreting ‘environmental text’ or ‘scene text‘ e.g., reading
