Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStochastic Behavior of Redundant Complex System with Two Types of FailureG. S. Mokaddis, M. Salah EL-Sherbeny, Entesar Al-EsayehProblem statement: This study presented the reliability and Mean Time To System Failure (MTTF) analysis of a two-state complex with repairable system, consisting of two sub-systems A and B arranged in series, incorporating the concept of hardware and human failures. The failure times of operating units and repair time of failed units were exponential distributed. Approach: Markov-renewal processes and properties … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,100 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Evaluation of Medium Access Schemes in 802.11 Wireless NetworksG. Singh, B. S. SohiProblem statement: Deployment of real time services over 802.11 wireless networks requires quality of service (QoS) differentiation mechanisms for different traffic types. This required investigations into the performance of the Medium access (MAC) schemes like Distributed Coordinated Function (DCF) and Enhanced DCF with respect to the stringent QoS requirements imposed by the real time services. Motivation for this research was … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,136 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementation of Low-Memory Reference FFT on Digital Signal ProcessorYi-Pin Hsu, Shin-Yu LinProblem statement: In order to improve and implement Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), in general, an efficient parallel form in digital signal processor is necessary. The butterfly structure is an important role in FFT, because its symmetry form is suitable for hardware implementation. Although it can perform a symmetric structure, the performance will be reduced under the data-dependent flow characteristic. Even … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,142 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLossless Compression Using LFSRsR. Muthiah, K. Neelakantan, Somi SebastianWhile lossy compression techniques are used for images, sound. where feature reproduction is more important than the actual data, it is necessary to use lossless compression for certain files containing data, programmes. Lossless compression techniques are not as effective as lossy ones and usually require a lot of computation for both compression and decompression. We presented a novel lossless compression … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 6,999 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractE-Government Readiness Assessment ModelAhmed Al-Omari, Hussein Al-OmariThis study presents a general framework model for E-Government Readiness Assessment. There are six necessary key factors to implement any E-government initiative worldwide. These factors represent the basic components to be assessed before launching the "e-initiative" to guarantee the right implementation in the right direction. The organization building blocks need to be assessed are: Organizational Readiness, Governance and leadership Readiness, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2006 · 8,307 accessesView PDFCite
