Tutorial #3: "Image Compression Based on Wavelet Image Decomposition
and Learning Vector Quantization"
by
Nicolaos B. Karayiannis
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
University of Houston
Time: 8am-noon
Abstract
========
This short course describes an image compression
system based on wavelet decomposition and vector quantization.
The images are decomposed using wavelet filters into a set of subimages
with different resolutions corresponding to different frequency
bands.
The resulting subimages are vector quantized using
learning vector quantization algorithms.
These algorithms perform vector quantization by updating
all prototypes of a competitive neural network through an
unsupervised learning process.
The competition between the prototypes for each input of
the LVQ network is regulated by the form of the membership
function involved in the development of the algorithms.
The quality of the multiresolution codebooks designed by these
algorithms is measured on the reconstructed images belonging
to the training set used for multiresolution codebook design
and the reconstructed images from a testing set.

Tutorial #5: Real-Time Communication in Computer Networks
by Wei Zhao
Time: 1-5pm
Abstract: With the increase use of distributed real-time
computer systems (e.g., those computer systems for
command and control, multimedia, advanced
avionics, and management in telecommunications),
the ability of computer networks to handle delay
sensitive traffic is becoming more important. For
traditional networks, maximizing the throughput or
minimizing the average delay is the most important
performance criteria. In the real-time domain,
however, concern focuses on satisfying the time
constraints of individual messages. In this
tutorial, we will examine the recent research and
development in real-time communications. Two
general strategies are used in real-time
communication: the guaranteed strategy and the
best-effort strategy. In the former, messages are
guaranteed to meet their delay requirements by
proper reservation of network resources. In the
best effort strategy, the network will attempt to
send messages according to their timing
requirements, but no guarantees are given. In the
tutorial, we will discuss how these two strategies
are realized in several popular computer networks:
bus, token ring, slot ring, FDDI, DQDB, and ATM.
Outline 1. Introduction
2. Models and classifications
3. Real-time communication in multi-access
networks: bus, token ring, FDDI, and DQDB

3.2. Best-effort strategy
4. Real-time communication in ATM networks
4.1. Basic approaches
4.2. Traffic descriptions
4.3. Scheduling
4.4. Routing
4.5. Regulation
5. Other issues
5.1. Fault-tolerance
5.2. Security
5.3. Integrated host and network scheduling
6. Summary
Audience * Managers of enterprise networks: to determine
=========
the real-time communication technology and
products available and to obtain the basics for
formulating their enterprise requirements,
understanding what vendors have to offer and
asking the right questions.
* Vendors of network industry: to learn the
benefits and limitations of the real-time
communication technology in the hope of
influencing them to upgrade their products.
* Researchers: to learn about the important
concepts and issues related to the real-time
communication technology complementary to their
own expertise.
Instructor: Professor Wei Zhao is active in
research and development in the areas of
communication networks, fault tolerant real-time
systems, distributed operating systems. In 1992,
he received the Outstanding Paper Award in the
IEEE International Conference on Distributed
Computing Systems for a paper on real-time
communications. He is an inventor of two U.S.
patents on using high speed networks for time-
critical applications. Dr. Zhao was an editor for
the IEEE Transactions on Computers from 1992 to 1996.
He was a vice-chair of IEEE ICDCS 94 and 95. He served as the
Program Committee Chair and the general chair for the first
and the second IEEE Real-Time Technology and Applications Symposia,
respectively.
