Remaining Delivery Time Estimation Based Routing for Intermittently Connected Mobile Networks
We propose Remaining Delivery Time Estimation based Routing (RDTER), a single-copy routing protocol for intermittently connected mobile networks. Nodes predict the Remaining Delivery Time (RDT) to each destination based on the distance estimations obtained from the recent two consecutive contact records. The distance estimation is set to be proportional to the inter-node encounter age, which is updated with transitivity upon each contact. Packet is forwarded to the encountered node whose RDT estimation to the destination is smaller. RDTER provides better forwarding direction, because a smaller RDT estimation means a node is more likely to meet the destination sooner. Thus the routing performance, especially the average delay could be improved. Simulations show that RDTER performs well under the random waypoint mobility model.

Improving TCP Throughput over HSDPA Networks
The various link adaptation techniques employed by High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) in the third generation (3G) networks augment the bandwidth oscillation, which is identified as one of the most important factors resulting in the throughput deterioration of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). In this paper, we firstly explain why the bandwidth oscillation degrades the TCP performance through a special simulation experiment. Subsequently, a split connection Window Adaptation TCP Proxy is proposed to improve the TCP throughput over HSDPA networks. In this solution, the built-in attributes of HSDAP system are sufficiently utilized. In order to effectively use the precious cellular link resources, the length of the queue connected with it is intentionally kept around the reference value through adjusting the sending window size of TCP proxy based on the dynamic values of varying bandwidth. A discrete-time stochastic state space model is formulated to analyze the system stability. The validity of enhanced scheme is verified through simulation experiments. The performance of TCP proxy is compared with the standard TCP protocol. The numerical results show that our TCP proxy is able to keep the cellular link utilization over 90%, and to improve TCP throughput by 100% under most conditions.

An Architecture for Supporting Network Fault Recovery Management
Highly available and resilient networks play a decisive role in today's networked world. As network faults are inevitable and networks are becoming constantly intricate, finding effective fault recovery solutions in a timely manner is becoming a challenging task for administrators. Therefore, an automated mechanism to support fault resolution is essential towards efficient fault handling process. In this paper we propose an architecture to support automated fault recovery in terms of traffic engineering, recovery knowledge discovery and automated recovery planning. We base our discussion on an application scenario for recovery from border router failure to maintain optimized configuration of outbound inter-domain traffic.

Study on the Si-Ge Nanowire MOSFETs with the Core-Shell Structure
This paper investigates the transport properties of the silicon-germanium nanowire MOSFETs with core-shell structure by using a finite element numerical method for electronic structure, energy level, and channel current computation. Coupled Poisson's equation to Schrodinger's equation for electrostatics calculation and electron structure to current transport equation for channel current computation, the electronic structure, quantized energy levels, relevant wave functions and charge distribution are solved selfconsistently for the core-shell structure MOSFETs. Furthermore, based on these findings, the transistor performances, including the capacitance characteristics and drain current, are also predicted.

Ensembling Bayesian network structure learning on limited data
In recent years, Bagging method has been applied to learn Bayesian networks (BNs), especially on limited datasets. However, the BNs learned using Bagging method from limited datasets can be biased towards complex models. We present an efficient approach to produce more accurate BNs from limited datasets. Based on the Markov condition of BN learning, we proposed a novel sampling method, called Root Nodes based Sampling (RNS), and a BNs fusion method. The experimental results reveal that our ensemble method can achieve more accurate results in terms of accuracy on limited datasets.

Visual-Quality Optimizing Super Resolution
In this paper, we propose a robust image super-resolution (SR) algorithm that aims to maximize the overall visual quality of SR results. We consider a good SR algorithm to be fidelity preserving, image detail enhancing and smooth. Accordingly, we define perception-based measures for these visual qualities. Based on these quality measures, we formulate image SR as an optimization problem aiming to maximize the overall quality. Since the quality measures are quadratic, the optimization can be solved efficiently. Experiments on a large image set and subjective user study demonstrate the effectiveness of the perception-based quality measures and the robustness and efficiency of the presented method.

Joint MMSE Vector Precoding Based on GMD Method for MIMO Systems
We propose a geometric mean decomposition (GMD) based vector precoding (VP) for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems. Minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion is used for the joint VP design. The application of GMD method eliminates the imbalance among subchannel gains and obtains a better perturbation vector than the conventional method. We then exploit the extended channel matrix for further performance improvement. Simulation results show the proposed schemes significantly outperform the existing VP schemes.
