Abstract in UndeterminedThe scalability of intelligent transport systems (ITS) applications is difficult to test in a field operational test (FOT) due to the high number of ITS equipped vehicles required. Therefore, computer simulations for evaluating different wireless communication technologies for ITS different applications can serve as a complement. In this paper we present results from lab me

Augmented Reality (AR) has emerged as a technology able to greatly support the interaction between people and digital information by merging virtual objects with the real environment. So far, research in this field has been mainly focused on single-user scenarios with pre-stored digital data whose visualization needs to be appropriately and promptly aligned with physical objects. Instead, latest d

Given a set of commodities and a network where some arcs can fail while others are reliable, we first consider the problem of computing a minimum-cost pair of paths not sharing failing links. If a reliable link belongs to both paths then its cost is counted only once. We show that this problem can be solved in strongly polynomial time. Second, we consider a routing problem where each commodity can

The identification of carotid atheromatous plaques associated to a higher neurologic risk may be important in therapeutic decision making for asymptomatic patients and symptomatic patients with 50%-70% stenosis. The introduction of high-definition ultrasonography (HDU) and computer-assisted image analysis provides the possibility of a standard, objective and detailed characterization of the struct

In this technical report, we consider ultra light-weight constructions of message authentication in hardware applications. We examine several known constructions and evaluate details around their hardware implementations. These constructions are all based on the framework of universal hash functions.

This paper presents a method based on the phase dierence of arrival and the non-linear least square estimation to lo- calize a radio-frequency (RF) source, e.g a wireless capsule endoscope, inside the human body. The phase dierence of arrival at multiple frequencies of a signal is used to estimate the distance of the source to a receiver. The linear least square estimation is used to estimate the

The paper investigates advantages of using an MCCA-aware acknowledging system in IEEE 802.11s Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN). The MCCA (MCF controlled channel access) protocol allows for reserving time slots for a point-topoint transmission over a wireless link. The protocol assures that the transmission will not be hindered by any other 802.11 device that uses MCCA, by preventing all neighbors of b

Project retrospectives can be a powerful tool for process improvement through obtaining new insights. However pure experience-based reflections may lead to incorrect conclusions. Our method, evidence-based timeline retrospectives (EBTR), mitigates this risk by providing a pre-generated timeline that visualises project history based on evidence rather than relying on subjective opinions and biased

This paper presents low power hardware generation, based on a CAL actor language dataflow implementation. The CAL language gives a higher level of abstraction and generate both hardware and software description. The original CAL flow is targeted for hardware-software co-design of complex systems on FPGA. Modifications are done to the original CAL flow to facilitate low power ASIC implementations.

In this paper, we present a thin single-arm Archimedean spiral antenna designed to be used in underground soil measurements to characterize the dielectric properties of soil during freezing and thawing processes. The designed antenna works in low permittivity, low-loss frozen soil as well as in high permittivity, high-loss marshy soil and operates over the frequency range 1–3 GHz. The antennas has

The current family of 802.11 protocols are based on the Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) mechanism which is a simple and robust means of sharing a channel. However, two current trends in wireless networks point towards a situation where CSMA fails to perform better than pure random access solutions such as ALOHA. The first trend is the ever increasing raw data rate in each generation of 802.11

One of the latest additions in defining the test process is the upcoming ISO/IEC 29119 standard, which aims to define a universally applicable generic test process model. However, currently the standard does not offer any support for the adoption process of the model. In this paper, we present our framework, which aims to combine a maturity level-based approach with the standard process. Our objec
