A robust adaptive congestion control strategy for large scale networks with differentiated services traffic

In this paper, a robust decentralized congestion control strategy is developed for a large scale network with Differentiated Services (Diff-Serv) traffic. The network is modeled by a nonlinear fluid flow model corresponding to two classes of traffic, namely the premium traffic and the ordinary traffic. The proposed congestion controller does take into account the associated physical network resource limitations and is shown to be robust to the unknown and time-varying delays. Our proposed decentralized congestion control strategy is developed on the basis of Diff-Serv architecture by utilizing a robust adaptive technique. A Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) condition is obtained to guarantee the ultimate boundedness of the closed-loop system. Numerical simulation implementations are presented by utilizing the QualNet and Matlab software tools to illustrate the effectiveness and capabilities of our proposed decentralized congestion control strategy.     

Probability of graphs with large spectral gap by multicanonical Monte Carlo

Graphs with large spectral gap are important in various fields such as biology, sociology and computer science. In designing such graphs, an important question is how the probability of graphs with large spectral gap behaves. A method based on multicanonical Monte Carlo is introduced to quantify the behavior of this probability, which enables us to calculate extreme tails of the distribution. The proposed method is successfully applied to random 3-regular graphs and large deviation probability is estimated.     

Efficient region-aware large graph construction towards scalable multi-label propagation

With fast growing number of images on photo-sharing websites such as Flickr and Picasa, it is in urgent need to develop scalable multi-label propagation algorithms for image indexing, management and retrieval. It has been well acknowledged that analysis in semantic region level may greatly improve image annotation performance compared to that in the holistic image level. However, region level approach increases the data scale to several orders of magnitude and proposes new challenges to most existing algorithms. In this work, we present a novel framework to effectively compute pairwise image similarity by accumulating the information of semantic image regions. Firstly, each image is encoded as Bag-of-Regions based on multiple image segmentations. Secondly, all image regions are separated into buckets with efficient locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) method, which guarantees high collision probabilities for similar regions. The k-nearest neighbors of each image and the corresponding similarities can be efficiently approximated with these indexed patches. Lastly, the sparse and region-aware image similarity matrix is fed into the multi-label extension of the entropic graph regularized semi-supervised learning algorithm [1]. In combination they naturally yield the capability of handling large-scale dataset. Extensive experiments on NUS-WIDE (260k images) and COREL-5k datasets validate the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed framework for region-aware and scalable multi-label propagation.     

Normal shock boundary layer control with various vortex generator geometries

Various vortex generators which include ramp, split-ramp and a new hybrid concept “ramped-vane” are investigated under normal shock conditions with a diffuser at Mach number of 1.3. The dimensions of the computational domain were designed using Reynolds Average Navier–Stokes studies to be representative of the flow in an external-compression supersonic inlet. Using this flow geometry, various vortex generator concepts were studied with Implicit Large Eddy Simulation. In general, the ramped-vane provided increased vorticity compared to the other devices and reduced the separation length downstream of the device centerline. In addition, the size, edge gap and streamwise position respect to the shock were studied for the ramped-vane and it was found that a height of about half the boundary thickness and a large trailing edge gap yielded a fully attached flow downstream of the device. This ramped-vane also provided the largest reduction in the turbulent kinetic energy and pressure fluctuations. Additional benefits include negligible drag while the reductions in boundary layer displacement thickness and shape factor were seen compared to other devices.     

Effective-capacity-based stochastic delay guarantees for systems with time-varying servers, with an application to IEEE 802.11 WLANs

Many network applications rely on stochastic QoS guarantees. With respect to loss-related performance, the effective bandwidth/capacity theory has proved useful for calculating loss probabilities in queues with complex input and server processes and for formulating simple admission control tests to ensure associated QoS guarantees. This success has motivated the application of the theory for delay-related QoS too. However, up until now this application has been justified only heuristically for queues with variable service rate. The paper fills this gap by establishing rigorously that the effective bandwidth/capacity theory may be used for the asymptotically correct calculation and enforcement of delay tail-probabilities in systems with variable rate servers too. Subsequently, the paper applies the general results to IEEE 802.11 WLANs, by representing each IEEE 802.11 station as an On/Off server and employing the effective capacity function for this model. Comparison of analytical results with simulation validates the effectiveness of the On/Off IEEE 802.11 model for delay-related QoS, complementing earlier results on loss-related performance.
