The ALICE experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider is optimized to study heavy-ion collisions. The ALICE data acquisition system collects experimental data from detectors via hundreds of optical links and consists of hundreds of interconnected PCs and storage units. It must balance recording large central collision events with rare processes, and its core function is to manage the data flow from detectors to storage while also monitoring data and system quality and performance.

Dr. Ahmed M. Hosny presents a study comparing system identification methods for modeling an unmanned helicopter using inferred state-space modeling and neural networks. An optimization approach using genetic algorithms was used to determine the system models. The inferred state-space approach was found to be easier, more stable, and produced a better performing model compared to the multi-network neural network approach. Testing showed the inferred state-space model had a lower performance index value compared to the actual system, indicating better accuracy.HNSciCloud represented at HUAWEI CONNECT 2017 in Shanghai

Xilinx has quantified the soft error rate of its Zynq multi-core microprocessor for the first time, extending its expertise from FPGA radiation testing to processor systems using a proton beam. The tests revealed promising results, predicting a total functional failure rate that may match the device's hard failure rate, making it viable for safety-critical applications. This foundational work sets the stage for continued testing and mitigation strategies in future Xilinx SoC devices.Bioclouds CAMDA (Robert Grossman) 09-v9p

The document describes a robust approach for analyzing data from fuel cell stack testing. It addresses challenges in handling large amounts of data from multiple devices. The approach includes:
1) Developing an interface in Excel to automate data handling and analysis across Excel and MATLAB for improved efficiency.
2) Using dynamic time warping to synchronize data sequences and align them based on time for better comparison.
3) Applying data reconciliation to optimally adjust measurements so they obey physical constraints like conservation of voltage sums, improving accuracy of analysis.tankala srinivas, palasa

The document details the development of a modified threshold sensitive distributed energy-efficient clustering routing protocol called TDEEC for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks (WSNs). This protocol aims to optimize the lifetime and stability of WSNs by implementing techniques such as hard and soft thresholds for data transmission and introducing new types of nodes that increase network heterogeneity. Simulation results indicate that TDEEC outperforms existing protocols in terms of network lifetime and stability.Multi sensor data fusion system for enhanced analysis of deterioration in con...

Data mining and knowledge discovery in databases have been attracting a significant amount of research, industry, and media attention of late. There is an urgent need for a new generation of computational theories and tools to assist researchers in extracting useful information from the rapidly growing volumes of digital data.
This Journal provides a forum for researchers who address this issue and to present their work in a peer-reviewed open access forum. Authors are solicited to contribute to the Journal by submitting articles that illustrate research results, projects, surveying works and industrial experiences that describe significant advances in the following areas, but are not limited to these topics only.Decoding Kotlin - Your Guide to Solving the Mysterious in Kotlin - Devoxx PL ...

Kotlin can be very handy and easy to use. Kotlin offers the possibility to develop code that is easy to understand, safe, immutable, and thus predictable and follows standards that avoid side effects. I realized that very quickly after I started my Kotlin journey that already amounts to more than 5 years.
This is the third version of this presentation focused on more detail explaining inline, crossinline, tailrec and as a bonus a quick run through unnamed classes.Microwatt: Open Tiny Core, Big Possibilities

Multi-proposer consensus protocols let multiple validators propose blocks in parallel, breaking the single-leader throughput bottleneck of classic designs. Yet the modern multi-proposer consensus implementation has grown a lot since HotStuff. THisworkshop will explore the implementation details of recent advances DAG-based approaches like Narwhal and Suis Mysticeti and reveal how implementation details translate to real-world performance gains. We focus on the nitty-gritty: how network communication patterns and data handling affect throughput and latency. New techniques such as Turbine-like block propagation (inspired by Solanas erasure-coded broadcast) and lazy push gossip broadcasting dramatically cut communication overhead. These optimizations arent just theoretical they enable modern blockchains to process over 100,000 transactions per second with finality in mere milliseconds redefining what is possible in decentralized systems.

Abstract
- 1. ABSTRACT ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is one of seven detector experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. ALICE is optimized to study heavy-ion (Pb-Pb nuclei) collisions at a centre of mass energy of 2.76 TeV per nucleon pair. Here we describe the design, the construction, the commissioning and the operation of the Data Acquisition (DAQ) system of the ALICE experiment in detail. The DAQ is the systems used respectively for the acquisition of all physics data and for the overall control of the experiment. It is the computing system that made of hundreds of PCs and data storage units interconnected via two networks. The collection of experimental data from the detectors is performed by several hundreds of high-speed optical links. The ALICE data acquisition system needs to balance its capacity to record the steady stream of very large events resulting from central collisions, with an ability to select and record rare cross-section processes. The core function of the Data Acquisition (DAQ) system is to realize the data- 鍖 ow from the detector up to the data storage. The DAQ system also includes software packages performing the data quality monitoring and the system performance monitoring.
