Multihop Cellular Networks: Integration, Cooperation, Standardization, Research Challenges
Professor Zoran Bojkovic Full Prof. of Electrical Engineering
University of Belgrade, Serbia E-mail: z.bojkovic@yahoo.com
Abstract: Cellular networks have been developed for voice telephone service using circuit switched technology.They are usually complex and large in terms of their network scale and operational features,high speed mobility,low data rate, and wide area coverge..The aim of the process of cellular networks evolution is to have an all IP network architecture to provide high bit rate multimedia services including voice,audio, video and data. Multimedia services require multiple sessions over one physical channel which could be provided by packet switched networks. The common protocol is IP.The Internet and cellular systems have been designed and implemented by people with different backgrounds in computers and communications, respectively.Their integration can be considered a first step toward next generation networks, where heterogeneous nettworks must work together in order to provide differential services to users in seamless and transparent manner. Next generation cellular networks are expected to provide richer and more diverse multimedia services. However,the current cellular network architecture may not be economically feasible to cater to the requirements of future mobile communication services.As an alternative to cellular communications, ad hoc networking is a wireless communication technology distinguished
by communicating via multihop transmissions. The multihop cellular network(MCN) which combines the characteristics of ad hoc networking with these of a cellular network,has been drawing a lot of attention. Namely, MCN incorporates the flexibility of ad hoc networking,while preserving the benefits of using an infrastructure.The advantage of using MCN includes capacity enhancement,coverage extension,network scalability, and power reduction.The main motivation for integrating multihop transmission in cellular networks is to enhance coverage and network capacity. Relaying can be used to assist communications to and from mobile hosts (MHS) at the cell edge or MHs experiencing deep fading in their home base station (BS). This presentation starts with the background of the problem.Next,integration of cellular and internet services including a cooperation in multihop cellular networks will be analyzed.Some examples will be included,too. Finally, 4G cellular standards,together with research challenges conclude the lecture. It is pointed that there are still a number of open research issues that need to be solved in order to provide an efficient and effective multihop transmissions in cellular networks in the future.

Program Analysis and Optimization for Multi-core Computing

E-mail: psarris@cs.utsa.edu
Abstract: As multi-core architectures become ubiquitous in modern computing, large scale scientific applications have to be redesigned to efficiently use the multiple cores and deliver higher performance. One major approach is the automatic detection of parallelism, in which existing conventional sequential programs are translated into parallel programs by optimizing compilers, in order to take advantage of the multiple processors. Optimizing compilers rely upon program analysis techniques to detect data dependences between program statements, perform optimizations, and identify code fragments that can be executed in parallel. In this work we study various program analysis and optimization techniques for multi-core computing and measure their impact in practice. We perform an experimental evaluation of several data dependence tests and program analysis techniques and we compare them in terms of data dependence accuracy, compilation efficiency, effectiveness in parallelization and program execution performance.
We run various experiments using the Perfect Club Benchmarks, the SPEC benchmarks, and the scientific library Lapack. We present the measured accuracy of each data dependence test and explain the reasons for inaccuracies.
We compare these tests in terms of efficiency and we analyze the tradeoffs between accuracy and efficiency. We also determine the impact of each data dependence test on the total compilation time. Finally, we measure the number of loops parallelized by each test and we compare the execution performance of each benchmark on a multi- core architecture.

Biomimetic Human Modeling, Simulation and Control
Professor Demetri Terzopoulos Computer Science Department University of California, Los Angeles
USA
E-mail: dt@cs.ucla.edu
Abstract: For use in the entertainment industry, computer graphics/animation has made significant strides over the past two decades through advances in physics-based simulation and control. In this context, one of the most difficult open challenges going forward is the biomimetic simulation and control of the human body. This talk will present our progress toward a comprehensive simulator that confronts the combined challenge of biomechanically modeling and neuromuscularly controlling more or less all of the relevant articular bones and muscles in the body, as well as simulating the physics-based deformations of the soft tissues. A significant component of our model is the neck-head- face complex, which addresses the important role that the neck plays in synthesizing the head movements that are essential to so many aspects of human behavior. Our anatomically consistent biomechanical model confronts us with many challenging motor control problems, even for the relatively simple task of balancing the mass of the head in gravity atop the cervical spine. I will present a neuromuscular control model that emulates the relevant biological motor control mechanisms. Employing machine learning techniques, the neural networks within our controllers may be trained offline to efficiently generate the pose and stiffness control signals needed to synthesize a variety of autonomous human movements. The talk will be richly illustrated with images and videos.

Plenary Lecture 1
New Approach to Continuous and Discrete-Time Systems based on Abstract State Space Energy
Professor Milan Stork
Department of Applied Electronics and Telecommunications Faculty of Electrical Engineering
University of West Bohemia P.O. Box 314
30614 Plzen, Czech Republic E-mail: stork@kae.zcu.cz
Abstract: Almost in any field of science and technology some sort of stability problem can appear. Instability is certainly the most important phenomena, which should be investigated before any other aspect of reality will be attacked. The stability and energy of the system are closely related. Simple linear and nonlinear continuous and discrete systems are investigated from the energy point of view. As an alternative to the method of Lyapunov functions a conceptually different approach can be based on the idea that, in fact abstract state space energy can be measured as distance from the system equilibrium to the actual state, what is needed also for stability analysis. Thus, instead of the physical energy a metric function will be defined in a proper way. The idea is based on based on a generalization of the well known Tellegen’s principle.
Presented study deals with energy, stability and related structural properties of a relatively broad class of finite dimensional strictly causal continuous and discrete systems, which can be described in the state-space representation form. Dissipativity, instability, asymptotic stability as well as stability in the sense of Lyapunov is analyzed by a new approach based on an abstract state energy concept. The resulting energy metric function is induced by the output signal power and determines both, the structure of a digital system representation as well as the corresponding system state space topology.
A special form of physically correct internal structure of an equivalent state space representation has been derived for discrete time signals as a natural consequence of strict causality, signal energy conservation, dissipativity and state minimality requirements. New discretization approach of discrete systems based on energy preservations is presented. Results of simulation examples are shown for illustration of fundamental ideas and basic attributes of the proposed method.

Hidden Oscillations in Dynamical Systems

Abstract: The problem of hidden oscillations in nonlinear control systems forces to develop new approaches of nonlinear oscillation theory. During initial establishment and development of theory of nonlinear oscillations in the first half of 20th century a main attention has been given to analysis and synthesis of oscillating systems for which the solution of existence problems of oscillating regimes was not too difficult. The structure itself of many systems was such that they had oscillating solutions, the existence of which was "almost obvious". The arising in these systems periodic solutions were well seen by numerical analysis when numerical integration procedure of the trajectories allowed one to pass from small neighborhood of equilibrium to periodic trajectory. Therefore main attention of researchers was concentrated on analysis of forms and properties of these oscillations (the "almost" harmonic, relaxation, synchronous, circular, orbitally stable ones, and so on).
Further there came to light so called hidden oscillations – the oscillations, the existence itself of which is not obvious (which are "small" and, therefore, are difficult for numerical analysis or are not "connected" with equilibrium i.e. the creation of numerical procedure of integration of trajectories for the passage from equilibrium to periodic solution is impossible). So in the midpoint of twentieth century M.A.Aizerman and R.E.Kalman formulated two conjectures, which occupy, at once, attention of many famous scholars.
Similar situation is in attractors localization. The classical attractors of Lorenz, Rossler, Chua, Chen, and other widely-known attractors are those excited from unstable equilibria. From computational point of view this allows one to use numerical method, in which after transient process a trajectory, started from a point of unstable manifold in the neighborhood of equilibrium, reaches an attractor and identifies it. However there are attractors of another type:
hidden attractors, a basin of attraction of which does not contain neighborhoods of equilibria.
In this presentation the application of special analytical-numerical algorithms for hidden oscillations and hidden attractor localization are discussed. Construction of counterexamples for Aizerman's and Kalman's conjectures, and existence of hidden attractor in Chua's systems are demonstrated.

Abstract: It is well known that robotic manipulators are highly nonlinear coupling dynamic systems. It is difficult to establish an appropriate mathematical model for designing a model-based controller. The model-free feature of fuzzy logic control strategy was employed to design robotic motion controller. However, there is no guide rule for designing the fuzzy rule bank and parameters, it still needs time consuming trial-and-error work for rules bank and fuzzy parameters adjustment. We had developed self-organizing fuzzy control and adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control two intelligent learning mechanism for solving this implementation problem. In addition, a low cost stereo vision system is developed on chip processor. It can be integrated into robotic system for executing visual servo robotic motion control purpose. Both systems can be constructed on Nios II SOPC developing board with ALTERA FPGA chip to manipulate a retrofitted Mitsubishi robotic system. The 3-D position information between the target and stereo vision system can be extracted by stereo vision algorithm first. Then, the relative motion between the robotic end-effector and the target can be planned to guide robot arm to catch the object. The self-organizing fuzzy control and fuzzy sliding mode control algorithms are employed to monitor the trajectory motion of each joint. The experimental results show that this visual servo robotic system can track and catch a moving target in 3D space and execute some interaction functions with player.
