Energy conservation is a vital issue in wireless sensor networks. Recently, employing mobile sinks for data gathering become a pervasive trend to deal with this problem. The sink can follow stochastic or pre-defined paths; however the controlled mobility pattern nowadays is taken more into consideration. In this method, the sink moves across the network autonomously and changes its position based on the energy factors. Although the sink mobility would reduce nodes' energy consumption and enhance the network lifetime, the overhead caused by topological changes could waste unnecessary power through the sensor field. In this paper, we proposed EEDARS, an energy-efficient dual-sink algorithm with role switching mechanism which utilizes both static and mobile sinks. The static sink is engaged to avoid any periodic flooding for sink localization, while the mobile sink adaptively moves towards the event region for data collection. Furthermore, a role switching mechanism is applied to the protocol in order to send the nearest sink to the recent event area, hence shorten the path. This algorithm could be employed in event-driven and multi-hop scenarios. Analytical model and extensive simulation results for EEDARS demonstrate a significant improvement on the network metrics especially the lifetime, the load and the end-to-end delay.

Many JavaScript programs are event-driven in the sense that they heavily use event functions that take user inputs to manipulate program behaviors. Thus, in order to statically analyze event-driven JavaScript programs effectively and precisely, static analyzers should be able to understand and precisely analyze the behaviors of events in terms of how they are created and evaluated. In this paper, we describe several reasons why static analysis of event behaviors in JavaScript programs is particularly difficult, and present a new event modeling mechanism that can represent behaviors of events precisely and efficiently for effective analysis of event-based JavaScript programs.

Since high packet losses occur in multi-hop transmission of wireless sensor networks, reliable data transmission is required. Especially, in case of event-driven data, a loss recovery mechanism should be provided for lost packets. Because retransmission for lost packets is requested to a node that caches the packets, the caching node should maintains all of data for transmission in its buffer. However, nodes of wireless sensor networks have limited resources. Thus, both a loss recovery mechanism and a buffer management technique are provided for reliable data transmission in wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we propose a buffer management technique at a caching position determined by a loss recovery mechanism. The caching position of data is determined according to desirable reliability for the data. In addition, we validate the performance of the proposed method through computer simulations.

As future warfare becomes network-centric, war-game simulators require high interoperability between networked forces and dynamic reconfiguration in accordance with war events. In this paper, we propose an event-driven methodology to develop dynamic war-game simulations. Federates are developed by event-driven web services. The event-driven web services consistently sense war events and response them only if they are interested. By the sense-and-response mechanism and asynchronous event processing, we are able to save simulation time. An Anti-Surface-Warfare simulator is constructed to demonstrate the methodology and suggests that event-driven web services are efficient to model and simulate warfare where numerous events are generated from hardware systems and people dispersed on the network.

In this paper, we propose an anycast event driven synchronization mechanism to reduce power overheads. Our proposed mechanism can reduce unnecessary polling operations on SHI(Snoop Hit Invalidate) or SHR(Snoop Hit Read) states. It prevents waisting bandwidth and reduces power overheads on polling operation. Also it decreases transition power of state change compared to broadcast model. Simulation results indicated that the proposed architecture had about 15.3% of power decrease compared to spin-lock model and about 4.7% of power decrease compared to broadcast model. Overall results indicated that proposed synchronization mechanism could increase power efficiency of multi-core system by reducing power overheads.

In recent years, business environments have become more complex; therefore, enterprises must be capable of responding flexibly and agilely. For these purposes, effective enterprise systems service monitoring and early decision making based on the same, emerge as core competency of the enterprise. In addition, enterprise system techniques that filter meaningful data are needed to event processing. However, the existing study related with this is nothing but discovering of service faults by monitoring depending upon API of BPEL engine or middleware, or is nothing but processing of simple events based on low-level events. Accordingly, there would be limitations to provide useful business information. In this study, we present an extended event processing model that enables delivery of more valuable and useful business information through situation detection. Primarily, the event processing architecture in an enterprise system is proposed as a definite approach, and then define an event meta-model suitable for the proposed architecture. Based on the defined model, we propose the syntax and semantics of the elements that make up the event processing language include various and progressive event operators, the rules, complex event pattern, etc. In addition, an event context mechanism is proposed to analyze more delicate events. Finally, the effectiveness and applicability of proposed approach is presented through a case study.

This paper proposes a novel mechanism called Event-driven Uncore Frequency Scaler (eUFS) to improve the energy efficiency of the HPC systems. UFS exploits the hardware events such as LAPI (Last-level Cache Accesses Per Instructions) and CPI (Clock Cycles Per Instruction) to dynamically adjusts the uncore frequency. Hardware events are collected at a reference time period, and the target uncore frequency is determined using the collected event and the previous uncore frequency. Experiments with the NPB benchmarks demonstrate that the eUFS reduces the energy consumption by 6% on average for class C and D NPB benchmarks while it only increases the execution time by 2% on average.

Inchon Port is the second largest import-export port of Korea, and has the point at issue such as the excessive logistics cost because of the limits of handling capacity and the chronic demurrage. There are few research activities on the analysis and improvement of the whole port operation, because Inchon Port not only has the dual dock system and various facilities but also handles a various kind of cargo. The purpose of this paper is to develop the simulation program as a long-term strategic support tool, considering the dual dock system and the TU(Terminal Operation Company) system executed since March, 1997 in Inchon Port. The basic input parameters such as arrival intervals, cargo tons, service rates are analyzed and the probability density functions for these parameters are estimated. The main mechanism of simulation model is the discrete event-driven simulation and the next-event time advancing. The program is executed based on the knowledge base and database. From the simulation model, it is possible to estimate the demurrage status through analyzing various scenarios and to establish the long-term port strategic plan.

In recent competitive business environment each enterprise has to be agile and flexible. For these purposes run-time monitoring ofservices provided by an enterprise and early decision making through this becomes core competition of the enterprise. In addition, in order to process various innumerable events which are generated on enterprise systems techniques which make filtering of meaningful data are needed. However, the existing study related with this is nothing but discovering of service faults by monitoring depending upon API of BPEL engine or middleware, or is nothing but processing of simple events based on low-level events.

It is well known that the biggest problem of wireless sensor networks is power conservation. There have been two major approaches to efficiently use energy in wireless sensor networks. One is to use a dynamic power management scheme and the other is to use energy efficient protocols. In the former, the power manager is responsible for managing the proper power state of CPU and each I/O with respect to the events, but the power manager does not concern about the internal operation of the underlying network protocols. Thus such conventional power managers can waste unpredicted power during communication period. On the other hand, the energy efficient protocols are just focused on the power saving operation of the radio PHY. In this paper, we introduce an energy-efficient power saving mechanism that can significantly reduce unwanted power consumption of wireless sensor nodes through the communication event-driven power management. We show that our scheme improves the energy conservation in the entire network through simulations.
