Analog Error-Control Coding Based on Dimension-Expanding Shannon Mapping for Robust Image Communication
Analog transmission has the advantage of allowing the quality of recovered data to vary gracefully as the channel conditions vary. For the purpose of robust image communication, two analog error-control coding schemes based on dimension-expanding Shannon mapping are discussed in this paper, including the encoding processes, decoding processes and joint source channel optimizing design methods. In addition, a method of getting the upper and lower bounds of the theoretically optimal coder is presented. In comparison with the optimal coder, these two analog error-control coders are easy to implement and simulations show that they both perform well and are robust to channel and source mismatch. It can be concluded that they are both good candidates for image subband coding to protect important source messages and suitable for robust image communication where channel conditions vary.

The EDAM project: Mining atmospheric aerosol datasets: Research Articles
There is a great need to better understand the sources, dynamics, and compositions of atmospheric aerosols. The traditional approach for particle measurement, collecting bulk samples of particulates on filters, is not adequate for studying particle dynamics and real-time correlations. This has led to the development of a new generation of real-time instruments that provide continuous or semicontinuous streams of data about certain aerosol properties. However, these instruments have added a significant level of complexity to atmospheric aerosol data and dramatically increased the amounts of data to be collected, managed, and analyzed. Our ability to integrate the data from all of these new and complex instruments now lags far behind our data-collection capabilities, and severely limits our ability to understand the data and act upon it in a timely manner. In this article, we present an overview of EDAM (Exploratory Data Analysis and Management), a joint project between researchers in Atmospheric Chemistry and Computer Science. Important objectives include environmental monitoring and data quality assurance, and real-time data mining offers great potential. While atmospheric aerosol analysis is an important and challenging domain, our objective is to develop techniques that have broader applicability. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Similarity Match Over High Speed Time-Series Streams
Similarity-based time series retrieval has been a subject of long term study due to its wide usage in many applications, such as financial data analysis, weather data forecasting, and multimedia data retrieval. Its original task was to find those time series similar to a pattern (query) time series data, where both the pattern and data time series are static. Recently, with an increasing demand on stream data management, similarity-based stream time series retrieval has raised new research issues due to its unique requirements during the stream processing, such as one-pass search and fast response. In this paper, we address the problem of matching patterns over high-speed stream time series data. We will develop a novel representation, called multi-scaled segment mean (MSM), for stream time series data, which can be incrementally computed and thus perfectly adapted to the stream characteristics. Most importantly, we propose a novel multi-step filtering mechanism over the multi-scaled representation. Analysis indicates that the mechanism can greatly prune the search space and thus offer fast response. Extensive experiments show the multi-scaled representation together with the multi-step filtering scheme can efficiently filter out false candidates and detect patterns, compared to the multiscaled wavelet.

Multi-level secure video streaming over SRTP
In this paper, we propose a set of solutions to four different levels on data selection for encrypting Motion JPEG video frames over SRTP. These solutions are based on our intensive analysis of the JPEG image compression procedure. We select the most important data which contains most information of an image for encryption; in consequence provide a set of balances between security and computation for different hardware environments. Extensive experiments are conducted and performance data has been analyzed to evaluate the proposed solutions. Results show that these solutions are well suited in different scenarios with various computation power and security requirements.

Extremal problems on consecutive L(2, 1)-labelling
For a given graph G of order n, a k-L(2,1)-labelling is defined as a function f:V(G)->{0,1,2,...,k} such that |f(u)-f(v)|>=2 when d"G(u,v)=1 and |f(u)-f(v)|>=1 when d"G(u,v)=2. The L(2,1)-labelling number of G, denoted by @l(G), is the smallest number k such that G has a k-L(2,1)-labelling. The consecutive L(2,1)-labelling is a variation of L(2,1)-labelling under the condition that the labelling f is an onto function. The consecutive L(2,1)-labelling number of G is denoted by @[email protected]?(G). Obviously, @l(G)=<@[email protected]?(G)=<|V(G)|-1 if G admits a consecutive L(2,1)-labelling. In this paper, we investigate the graphs with @[email protected]?(G)=|V(G)|-1 and the graphs with @[email protected]?(G)[email protected](G), in terms of their sizes, diameters and the number of components.

Construction of Regular and Irregular LDPC Codes: Geometry Decomposition and Masking
Two algebraic methods for systematic construction of structured regular and irregular low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes with girth of at least six and good minimum distances are presented. These two methods are based on geometry decomposition and a masking technique. Numerical results show that the codes constructed by these methods perform close to the Shannon limit and as well as random-like LDPC codes. Furthermore, they have low error floors and their iterative decoding converges very fast. The masking technique greatly simplifies the random-like construction of irregular LDPC codes designed on the basis of the degree distributions of their code graphs
