KEYNOTE LECTURE OF PROF.SIFAKIS (WSEAS Fellow)
Embedded Systems Scientific Challenges and Work Directions
====================================================================
Joseph Sifakis, WSEAS Fellow
CNRS/Verimag
ABSTRACT: Embedded systems are components integrating software and
hardware that are jointly and specifically designed to provide given
functionalities, which are often critical. They are used in a very
wide array of application areas - including transport, consumer
electronics / electrical appliances, energy distribution,
manufacturing systems, etc.
Designing embedded systems requires techniques taking into account
extra-functional requirements regarding optimal use of resources such
as time, memory and energy while ensuring autonomy, reactivity and
robustness.
Jointly taking into account these requirements raises a grand
scientific and technical challenge: extending Computer Science with
paradigms and methods from Control Theory and Electrical Engineering.
Computer Science is based on discrete computation models, which are by
their nature are very different from the analytic models used in other
engineering disciplines, because they do not encompass physical time
and resources.
We discuss the main aspects of this challenge and their associated
research directions for different areas such as modelling,
programming, compilers, operating systems and networks.

Abstract: Envisioned applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs)
include surveillance, monitoring and tracking tasks. These motivate
well decentralized estimation and smoothing of deterministic and
(non)stationary random signals using (possibly correlated)
observations collected across distributed sensors. In this talk we
present state-of-the-art algorithms for consensus-based distributed
estimation using ad hoc WSNs where sensors communicate over single-hop
noisy links. The novel framework reformulates basic estimation
criteria such as least-squares, maximum-likelihood, maximum a
posteriori, and linear mean-square error, as decomposable,
constrained, convex optimization problems that are amenable to
distributed solutions. The resultant distributed estimators are
provably convergent to their centralized counterparts and robust to
communication noise. Besides stationary, the framework encompasses
adaptive filtering and smoothing of non-stationary signals through
distributed LMS and Kalman filtering.

Abstract: Human eyes receive more than 75% of the total information
accessible to the human senses.
“There are approximately 45 million blind individuals world-wide
according to the World Health Report. Vision loss can be very
traumatic, leading to frustration and depression. According to the
American Foundation for the Blind (AFB), the rate of unemployment
among legally blind individuals of working age residing in the United
States (58%) is much greater than that of individuals with no
functional limitations (18%). Employment opportunities and
independence are scarce for visually impaired individuals. This is
unfortunate in view of the fact that ingenious devices [IEEE Spectrum]
and information technology (IT) strategies can be developed to help
people overcome these barriers and to pursue educational opportunities
that will allow them to become productive members of society.”
In this talk technological efforts are presented that have the same
goal assisting and increasing the visual impaired people’s
independence in their working and living environment, and reducing
their social neglect ness. In particular, the research effort (called
Tyflos) is presented here that is an IT- based wearable
system-prototype. It consists of a pair of dark glasses on which two
tiny vision cameras, an ear speaker and a microphone are attached. The
cameras are connected with a portable computer that carries
intelligent software programs. The cameras, under the user’s command,
capture images from the surrounding and convert them via software
programs into audio or vibrations. The current versions of Tyflos is
used as 1) a reader by reading books or the blind user via audio
conversion and 2) a navigation by converting 3D images into vibrations
for navigation.

Abstract: Depth of field refers to the swath through a 3D scene that
is imaged in acceptable focus through an optics system, such as a
camera lens. It is a vitally important component of real photographs,
and is useful as a tool for drawing the viewer's eye to the important
part of the image. Depth of field is equally important for
computer-generated images.
This talk will provide an explanation of the phenomenon of depth of
field and a survey of a variety of techniques to render depth of field
effects in computer graphics, with particular attention devoted to the
trade-offs between image quality and algorithm efficiency.
Algorithms to render highly accurate depth of field effects, such as
distributed ray tracing or the accumulation buffer, are sampling
methods that use large numbers of samples, with high computational
cost. Sampling is inherently slow because it effectively requires
rendering the scene many times, which multiplies the render time by a
potentially large factor. Faster algorithms are based on a post
processing approach, which operates in image space. Post process
methods operate on 2D images along with depth information, rather than
working with a full 3D object representation as the sampling methods
do. Consequently, post process methods struggle to accurately simulate
the underlying optical process, and tend to suffer from artifacts or
avoid those artifacts at a large cost. The talk will include an
analysis of the nature of these artifacts.

Queuing and Loss Network Models:
Computational Algorithms and Asymptotic Analysis
====================================================================
Professor Hisashi Kobayashi
Princeton University, USA
E-mail: hisashi@Princeton.edu
Abstract: Queueing network theory has been successfully applied by
computer and communication system modelers to represent the inherent
contention and congestion in multiple resource systems, to identify
the system bottlenecks, and to assess the performance limits. A
queueing network model provides a suitable framework for analyzing the
performance of “connection-less services” in a packet switched
network. The so-called “product-form” networks such as Jackson network
and its generalizations, allow such performance metrics as throughput
and the mean delay to be represented by a ratio of the “normalization
constants” with different arguments.
Connection-oriented services, such as the conventional
circuit-switched telephone networks and end-to-end flow connections
over the Internet can be properly represented by loss network models.
The loss network theory is a relatively recent development, and can be
viewed as an extension of the classical Erlang and Engset loss models.
We will discuss interesting relations between queueing networks and
loss networks, and show that the computational algorithms developed
for queueing networks are equally applicable to the normalization
constants and performance metrics in loss networks as well.
Finally, we will discuss the case of large systems, where even most
efficient algorithms for exact solutions are computationally
infeasible. Recent development for approximation techniques and
asymptotic performance limits will be reviewed.

Intrusion Detection in Modern Optical Networks and Countermeasures
====================================================================
Professor Stamatios Kartalopoulos, Senior Professor of WSEAS
IEEE Fellow, University of Oklahoma,
USA
E-mail: kartalopoulos@ou.edu
Abstract: Optical networks are considered to be intrusion-resistant by
virtue of the fiber medium. The common belief is that the optical
fiber is difficult to tap, as compared to copper wire and to wireless
media. In fact, this is a simplistic view because stripping a cable
and tapping a fiber with tools that are commercially available is a
relatively simple task to the sophisticated intruder. Moreover,
because the fiber link is many kilometers long, the fiber cannot be
guarded; this presents a tremendous opportunity and flexibility to the
intruder to select the point of intrusion unnoticed. Therefore, it is
important that the network is sophisticated enough to monitor and
detect intrusions, differentiate from possible component failure and
degradation, and upon detection of fiber attacks, it executes
automatic countermeasures, outsmarting the intruder. In this talk, we
describe automatic intrusion detection methods and countermeasure
strategies in modern optical networks.

UNIVERSITIES WHERE THE WSEAS ORGANIZES CONFERENCES:
See www.wseas.org
REJECTION RATES IN CONFERENCES:
TYPICAL EXAMPLE: The WSEAS Conference in the University of Cambridge
(February 2008) has already received more than 800 papers. From these
papers, after a strict review we have selected 377 for the publication.
RATES OF REJECTION IN JOURNALS:
You can find the reviewers that WSEAS uses at the page
http://www.worldses.org/review/index.html
The POSITIVE OPINION OF 3 INDEPENDENT REFVIEWERS is necessary.
Example:
http://tinyurl.com/2q6vnr or via the official web page of WSEAS.
OTHER FEATURES
1) A very strong and important feature is that the WSEAS will give to
the partipants a new username and password WITHOUT EXPIRY DATE for
on-line access in the WSEAS Conference proceedings FOR EVER.
2) Several University Faculty Members and Senior Researchers that will
be with us in the Conference create groups and committees for the
other WSEAS events
3) Rich cultural and social part as usual.
The importance of these conferences can be also proved by the impact
of these conferences in 2007 and 2008: See, please
http://www.wseas.org/reports/
4) The conference Books and Conference CD-ROM published by WSEAS Press
continue to sell for a long time after the meeting has taken place.
This is another demonstration of the prestige the scientific community
attribute to the meetings organised by the WSEAS.
