  • Observability and information structure of nonlinear systems

    Creator:
    Hwang, Chun Sik
    Abstract:
    An observability problem for both deterministic and stochastic systems is studied here. Deterministic observability is a determination of whether every state of the system is connected to the observation mechanism and how it is connected, if connected. On the other hand, stochastic observability discusses the "tightness" of the connection in...

  • Stochastic analysis of a nonlinear ocean structural system

    Creator:
    Lin, Huan
    Abstract:
    Stochastic analysis procedures have been recently applied to analyze nonlinear dynamical systems. In this study, nonlinear responses, stochastic and/or chaotic, are examined and interpreted from a probabilistic perspective. A multi-point-moored ocean structural system under regular and irregular wave excitations is analytically examined via a generalized stochastic Melnikov function and Markov...

  • The architecture of VIS multimedia extension

    Creator:
    Kwon, Young-Kyong
    Abstract:
    In the past, multimedia technology focused mainly on designing high quality audio and graphical imagery as well as providing adequate performance levels that the users demand for multimedia applications. However, the concept of multimedia has expanded into New-Media that involves variety use of multimedia data in consumer-oriented applications, such as...

  • Multithreaded virtual processor on DSM

    Creator:
    An, Ho Seok
    Abstract:
    Modern superscalar processors exploit instruction-level parallelism (ILP) by issuing multiple instructions in a single cycle because of increasing demand for higher performance in computing. However, stalls due to cache misses severely degrade the performance by disturbing the exploitation of ILP. Multiprocessors also greatly exacerbate the memory latency problem. In SMPs,...
