An intelligent filter for an educational virtual laboratory
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
As computer technology increases and more students become interested in Network Engineering, virtual laboratories will become more popular to use as educational tools for students. Virtual laboratories provide an efficient ...
Implementation and evaluation of a 2 Channel MAC protocol to improve fairness in multihop networks
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The standard 802.11 MAC protocol, for wireless networks, is a single channel implementation. In multihop wireless networks, scenarios can arise where a single channel MAC protocol may not perform as fairly as a 2-Channel ...
Engineering secure software
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In recent years computer software has gained notoriety for the endemic nature of security problems in software. These problems have been exploited with malicious intent by attackers. Most attempts at fixing these problems ...
Delay analysis of bursty tasks using workload arrival functions
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
A real-time application must satisfy timing requirements meaning that hard deadlines must be enforced. It is largely dependent on the defined resources and workload characteristics. In large-scale distributed real-time ...
Dynamic address allocation protocols for Mobile ad hoc networks
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Address allocation is an important issue in Mobile ad hoc networks. This thesis proposes solutions to assign unique IP addresses to nodes participating in Mobile ad hoc networks and evaluates the proposed solutions. Address ...
Automated, heuristic conversion of plain text bibliographic records to MARC format
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Bibliographies in journals and publications are a valuable reference tool that aid researchers to gain a better understanding of an article of study. Making bibliographies searchable across journals is a feature that will ...
Combining spatial, textual and temporal analysis for the construction and incremental formalization of knowledge
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
With the advent of the World Wide Web, availability of data is no longer an issue. However organizing and analyzing information is becoming an increasingly complicated task. Formal representation and structuring of knowledge ...
Distributed algorithms for mobile ad hoc networks
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
We first present two new leader election algorithms for mobile ad hoc networks. The algorithms ensure that eventually each connected component of the topology graph has exactly one leader. The algorithms are based on a ...
Geocasting in mobile ad hoc networks: a grid based approach to GeoTORA
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Geocasting can be employed as a mechanism to deliver messages to mobile nodes, which are present within a specified geographical area. As opposed to traditional multicast mechanisms where a node becomes a member by ...
IEESIM: a shared information system architecture for integrating risk management tools
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
As a result of changes in business environments and technologies, legacy application systems that have been running independently are often required to integrate for sharing data or processes. There is an ongoing effort ...
