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 ...
Fair capacity sharing of multiple aperiodic servers
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
For handling multiple aperiodic tasks with different temporal requirements, multiple aperiodic servers are used. Since capacity is partitioned statically among the multiple servers, they suffer from heavy capacity exhaustions. ...
Automatic generation of communication and teamwork within multi-agent teams
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Teamwork and communication are two important processes within multi-agent systems designed to act in a coherent and coordinated manner. Modeling teamwork involves interleaving steps within shared plans that will allow ...
The Secure Hash Payment System
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
One of the newest media to conduct business in is the Internet. As a matter of fact, consumers and businesses can purchase almost anything online. Since more consumers are making purchases on the Internet, a secure way ...
Semantic associative network for text analysis (SANTA)
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Based on theories of associations, the Semantic Associative Network for Text Analysis (SANTA) has been developed. Nodes in the network represent words and links between nodes represent the association strengths between ...
Randomized location service in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETS) are networks of mobile hosts that do not have a fixed infrastructure. Communication between these hosts is made difficult by the continuously changing topology. A node in the network can ...
Fault-tolerant TCP mechanisms
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
While fault-tolerance is supported by a variety of critical services that can be accessed over the Internet, they are not robust in that they are oblivious of the impact of their tolerant mechanisms on the service they ...
