This thesis, presents a multiprocessor topology, the hierarchical network of hyper-cubes, which has a low diameter, low degree of connectivity and yet exhibits hypercube like versatile characteristics. The hierarchical ...

Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks or RAID is a popular method of improving the reliability and performance of disk storage. Of various levels of RAID, mirrored or RAID1 and rotating parity or RAID5 configurations have ...

The routing strategy used in today's Internet is best-effort service, where all data packets are treated equally. This type of service is not suited for applications such as video conferencing, and video on demand, that ...

The congestion control mechanisms of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) are very effective in providing best effort service in wired networks, where packet losses are mainly due to congestion in the network. In wireless ...

Support Vector Machines (SVM) have recently gained prominence in the field of machine learning and pattern classification (Vapnik, 1995, Herbrich, 2002, Scholkopf and Smola, 2002). Classification is achieved by finding a ...

Internet has changed our lives. It has made the true distributed computing paradigm a reality. It has opened up a lot of opportunities both in the research domain and in business domain. One can now think of developing ...

Darwinian Evolutionary system - a system satisfying the abstract conditions: reproduction with heritable variation, in a finite world, giving rise to Natural Selection encompasses a complex and subtle system of interrelated ...

A large number of mathematical models in engineering and physical sciences employ Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). The sheer number of operations required in numerically integrating PDEs in these applications has ...
