Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEnhanced Channel Estimation and Performance Analysis Using H-Infinity Filter for MIMO-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing SystemsJoseph Gladwin Sekar, Salivahanan SankarappanThis paper, deals with H-infinity channel estimation technique for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems, in fading channel. Channel estimation is important for wireless applications because, in practical transmission scenario, channel correlation functions are either not known or cannot be easily estimated. It is therefore desirable to have an estimator which is robust to mismatches between the assumed and the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 29 Jan 2015 · 6,823 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFEATURE-BASED ANALYSIS INTO THE TREND OF SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES FROM TRADITIONAL TO SERVICE ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE AND SAAS CLOUDAtieh Khanjani, Wan Nurhayati Wan Ab. Rahman, Abdul Azim Abd GhaniThere are issues of confusion between the concepts of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Software as a Service (SaaS) which affect on the benefits they offer like cost reduction and agility. To solve this problem, the paper aims to explore the concepts of SaaS and SOA in order to give better understanding of these two technologies. Since SaaS cloud is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 24 Dec 2014 · 8,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF HIGH EFFICIENT AND LOW POWER ARCHITECTURE FOR FUZZY BASED IMAGE FUSIONS. Anbumozhi, P. S. ManoharanImage fusion based on wavelet transform is the most commonly used image fusion method, which fuses the source images’ information in wavelet domain according to some fusion rules. But because of the uncertainties of the source images’ contributions to the fused image, how to design a good fusion rule to integrate as much information as possible into the fused image … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 21 Feb 2014 · 6,753 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordApplying Software Engineering Methodology for Designing Biomedical Software Devoted To Electronic InstrumentationGilsa Aparecida de Lima Machado, Patricia Mara Danella Zacaro, Alderico Rodrigues de Paula Junior, Marcelo Lopes de Oliveira e SouzaProblem statement: Significant effort goes into the development of biomedical software, which is integrated with computers/processors, sensors and electronic instrumentation devoted to a specific application. However, the scientific work on electronic instrumentation controlled by biomedical software has not emphasized software development, instead focusing mainly on electronics engineering. The development team is rarely composed of Software Engineering (SE) experts. Usually, a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 23 Aug 2012 · 6,971 accessesView PDFCite
