The three-dimensional (3-D) SPIHT coder is a scalable or embedded coder that has proved its efficiency and its real-time capability in compression of video. A forward-error-correc...
In this paper, we are concerned with the finite-length analysis of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes when used over the binary erasure channel (BEC). The main result is an expr...
Abstract: Cascade process, such as wastewater treatment plant, includes many nonlinear subsystems and many variables. When the number of sub-systems is big, the input-output relati...
—This paper considers the problem of how to improve the performance of hybrid storage system employing solid state disks and hard disk drives. We utilize both initial block alloc...
Reader preference, writer preference, and task-fair reader-writer locks are shown to cause undue blocking in multiprocessor real-time systems. Phase-fair reader writer locks, a ne...
