Agile-SD: A Linux-based TCP Congestion Control Algorithm for Supporting High-speed and Short-distance Networks
Recently, high-speed and short-distance networks are widely deployed and
their necessity is rapidly increasing everyday. This type of networks is used
in several network applications; such as Local Area Networks (LAN) and Data
Center Networks (DCN). In LANs and DCNs, high-speed and short-distance networks
are commonly deployed to connect between computing and storage elements in
order to provide rapid services. Indeed, the overall performance of such
networks is significantly influenced by the Congestion Control Algorithm (CCA)
which suffers from the problem of bandwidth under-utilization, especially if
the applied buffer regime is very small. In this paper, a novel loss-based CCA
tailored for high-speed and Short-Distance (SD) networks, namely Agile-SD, has
been proposed. The main contribution of the proposed CCA is to implement the
mechanism of agility factor. Further, intensive simulation experiments have
been carried out to evaluate the performance of Agile-SD compared to Compound
and Cubic which are the default CCAs of the most commonly used operating
systems. The results of the simulation experiments show that the proposed CCA
outperforms the compared CCAs in terms of average throughput, loss ratio and
fairness, especially when a small buffer is applied. Moreover, Agile-SD shows
lower sensitivity to the buffer size change and packet error rate variation
which increases its efficiency.Comment: 12 Page
International conference on software engineering and knowledge engineering: Session chair
The Thirtieth International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (SEKE 2018) will be held at the Hotel Pullman, San Francisco Bay, USA, from July 1 to July 3, 2018. SEKE2018 will also be dedicated in memory of Professor Lofti Zadeh, a great scholar, pioneer and leader in fuzzy sets theory and soft computing.
The conference aims at bringing together experts in software engineering and knowledge engineering to discuss on relevant results in either software engineering or knowledge engineering or both. Special emphasis will be put on the transference of methods between both domains. The theme this year is soft computing in software engineering & knowledge engineering. Submission of papers and demos are both welcome
Kinematic and Dynamic Analysis of the 2-DOF Spherical Wrist of Orthoglide 5-axis
This paper deals with the kinematics and dynamics of a two degree of freedom
spherical manipulator, the wrist of Orthoglide 5-axis. The latter is a parallel
kinematics machine composed of two manipulators: i) the Orthoglide 3-axis; a
three-dof translational parallel manipulator that belongs to the family of
Delta robots, and ii) the Agile eye; a two-dof parallel spherical wrist. The
geometric and inertial parameters used in the model are determined by means of
a CAD software. The performance of the spherical wrist is emphasized by means
of several test trajectories. The effects of machining and/or cutting forces
and the length of the cutting tool on the dynamic performance of the wrist are
also analyzed. Finally, a preliminary selection of the motors is proposed from
the velocities and torques required by the actuators to carry out the test
trajectories
Incorporating Agile with MDA Case Study: Online Polling System
Nowadays agile software development is used in greater extend but for small
organizations only, whereas MDA is suitable for large organizations but yet not
standardized. In this paper the pros and cons of Model Driven Architecture
(MDA) and Extreme programming have been discussed. As both of them have some
limitations and cannot be used in both large scale and small scale
organizations a new architecture has been proposed. In this model it is tried
to opt the advantages and important values to overcome the limitations of both
the software development procedures. In support to the proposed architecture
the implementation of it on Online Polling System has been discussed and all
the phases of software development have been explained.Comment: 14 pages,1 Figure,1 Tabl
Kinematic Analysis and Trajectory Planning of the Orthoglide 5-axis
The subject of this paper is about the kinematic analysis and the trajectory
planning of the Orthoglide 5-axis. The Orthoglide 5-axis a five degrees of
freedom parallel kinematic machine developed at IRCCyN and is made up of a
hybrid architecture, namely, a three degrees of freedom translational parallel
manip-ulator mounted in series with a two degrees of freedom parallel spherical
wrist. The simpler the kinematic modeling of the Or-thoglide 5-axis, the higher
the maximum frequency of its control loop. Indeed, the control loop of a
parallel kinematic machine should be computed with a high frequency, i.e.,
higher than 1.5 MHz, in order the manipulator to be able to reach high speed
motions with a good accuracy. Accordingly, the direct and inverse kinematic
models of the Orthoglide 5-axis, its inverse kine-matic Jacobian matrix and the
first derivative of the latter with respect to time are expressed in this
paper. It appears that the kinematic model of the manipulator under study can
be written in a quadratic form due to the hybrid architecture of the Orthoglide
5-axis. As illustrative examples, the profiles of the actuated joint angles
(lengths), velocities and accelerations that are used in the control loop of
the robot are traced for two test trajectories.Comment: Appears in International Design Engineering Technical Conferences \&
