gbase: an efficient analysis platform for large graphs

Graphs appear in numerous applications including cyber security, the Internet, social networks, protein networks, recommendation systems, citation networks, and many more. Graphs with millions or even billions of nodes and edges are common-place. How to store such large graphs efficiently? What are the core operations/queries on those graph? How to answer the graph queries quickly? We propose Gbase, an efficient analysis platform for large graphs. The key novelties lie in (1) our storage and compression scheme for a parallel, distributed settings and (2) the carefully chosen graph operations and their efficient implementations. We designed and implemented an instance of Gbase using Mapreduce/Hadoop. Gbase provides a parallel indexing mechanism for graph operations that both saves storage space, as well as accelerates query responses. We run numerous experiments on real and synthetic graphs, spanning billions of nodes and edges, and we show that our proposed Gbase is indeed fast, scalable, and nimble, with significant savings in space and time.     

Power- and time-aware buffer cache management for real-time embedded databases

Due to the explosive increases of data from both the cyber and physical worlds, the demand for database support in embedded systems is increasing. Databases for embedded systems, or embedded databases, are expected to provide timely in situ data services under various resource constraints, such as limited energy. However, traditional buffer cache management schemes, in which the primary goal is to minimize the number of I/O operations, is problematic since they do not consider the constraints of modern embedded devices such as limited energy and distinctive underlying storage. In particular, due to asymmetric read/write characteristics of flash memory-based storage of modern embedded devices, minimum buffer cache misses neither coincide with minimum power consumption nor minimum I/O deadline misses. In this paper we propose a novel power- and time-aware buffer cache management scheme for embedded databases. A novel multi-dimensional feedback control architecture is proposed and the characteristics of underlying storage of modern embedded devices is exploited for the simultaneous support of the desired I/O power consumption and the I/O deadline miss ratio. We have shown through an extensive simulation that our approach satisfies both power and timing requirements in I/O operations under a variety of workloads while consuming significantly smaller buffer space than baseline approaches.     

Birman–Wenzl–Murakami algebra, topological parameter and Berry phase

In this paper, a 3?×?3-matrix representation of Birman?CWenzl?CMurakami (BWM) algebra has been presented. Based on which, unitary matrices A(??, ?? ₁, ?? ₂) and B(??, ?? ₁, ?? ₂) are generated via Yang?CBaxterization approach. A Hamiltonian is constructed from the unitary B(??, ??) matrix. Then we study Berry phase of the Yang?CBaxter system, and obtain the relationship between topological parameter and Berry phase.     

Signal tracking method of GNSS receivers for spinning vehicles

A signal tracking method of GNSS receivers for spinning vehicles is proposed in order to eliminate the influence of spinning to the GNSS signal of a vehicle. In the proposed method, a rotation tracking loop is added into the carrier tracking loop of a conventional GNSS receiver. The proposed method was verified through computer simulations and an experiment for live GPS signals. The results show that the proposed method gives an accurate tracking performance.     

Parameter identification and design of a robust attitude controller using <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis><Subscript>∞</Subscript> methodology for the raptor E620 small-scale helicopter

Rigorous control synthesis for an unmanned aerial vehicle necessitates the availability of a good, reasonable model for such a vehicle. The work reported in this paper focuses on the modeling of a rotary unmanned aerial vehicle (RUAV) and the development of a robust controller that can handle parameter uncertainties and disturbances. The parameters of the plant model are obtained through the use of the prediction error method with real flight data. The response of the identified linear model shows a good match with the measured flight data. The H _∞ control scheme is applied to obtain a robustly stable controller using the identified model. The proposed controller is analyzed using frequency-domain analysis and time-domain simulations. The performance of the proposed H _∞ controller is better than that of the conventional proportional derivative controller in that the proposed controller has a shorter settling time and less overshoot. Furthermore, the degradation of the proposed controller performance is negligible and stability is maintained when the input gains to the plant are doubled, which demonstrates the good performance and robustness of the controller.     

Stability of a class of switched stochastic nonlinear systems under asynchronous switching

The stability of a class of switched stochastic nonlinear retarded systems with asynchronous switching controller is investigated. By constructing a virtual switching signal and using the average dwell time approach incorporated with Razumikhin-type theorem, the sufficient criteria for pth moment exponential stability and global asymptotic stability in probability are given. It is shown that the stability of the asynchronous stochastic systems can be guaranteed provided that the average dwell time is sufficiently large and the mismatched time between the controller and the systems is sufficiently small. This result is then applied to a class of switched stochastic nonlinear delay systems where the controller is designed with both state and switching delays. A numerical example illustrates the effectiveness of the obtained results.
