Distributed Discrete Event Simulation (DDES) has received much attention in recent years, owing to the fact that uniprocessor based serial simulations may require excessive amount of simulation time and computational ...

Knowledge-Based Systems (KBSs) represent a relatively new programming approach and methodology that has evolved and is still evolving as an important sub-area of Artificial Intelligence (AI) research. The most prevalent ...

"A distributed queueing Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is used in Distributed Queue Dual Bus (DQDB) networks. A modified version of the MAC protocol was proposed by R.R. Pillai and U. Mukherji in an attempt to overcome ...

The aim of speech scrambling algorithms is to transform clear speech into an unintelligible signal so that it is difficult to decrypt it in the absence of the key. Most of the existing speech scrambling algorithms tend ...

Hearing impairment is the number one chronic disability affecting people in the world. Many people have great difficulty in understanding speech with background noise. This is especially true for a large number of elderly ...

Multimedia' nature of an application refers to the presence of several media streams in parallel. Whether it is receiving real-time data or retrieving stored data, there exists an end-to-end delay in data transfer from ...

In this thesis we develop algorithms for estimating broadband source signals from a mixture using only two sensors. This is motivated by what is known in the literature as cocktail party effect, the ability of human beings ...

This dissertation discusses the principles, techniques and approaches adopted in the design of task scheduling algorithms for Distributed Parallel Processing Computer Systems (DPCSs) connected with network of front-end ...

In this thesis we address the problem of designing codes for specific applications. To do so we make use of the relationship between clusters and codes. Designing a block code over any finite dimensional space may be thought ...
