Remote Interoperability Testing Client for Wireless Personal Area Network Protocol by Xinyu Zhang, Xiaohong Huang, Pei Zhang

“…When the entities in one interoperability testing case were not suitable to be placed in the same physical location,the remote testing method was needed to complete the testing.In order to guarantee the success of the remote testing,a platform based on the Internet environment was built.A system structure was designed for assure the platform was suitable for wireless personal area network protocol.The framework mainly contained the device connection module and the data forwarding module.To illustrate the application of proposed approach,a real case study was proposed:the 6LoWPANs protocol.The results of the experimentation performed on this protocol were also presented.…”

Feature selection method for software defect number prediction based on maximum information coefficient by Guoqing LIU, Xingqi WANG, Dan WEI, Jinglong FANG, Yanli SHAO

“…The traditional feature selection method only considers the linear correlation between variables and ignores the nonlinear correlation, so it is difficult to select effective feature subsets to build the effective model to predict the number of faults in software modules.Considering the linear and nonlinear relationship, a feature selection method based on maximum information coefficient (MIC) was proposed.The proposed method separated the redundancy analysis and correlation analysis into two phases.In the previous phase, the cluster algorithm, which was based on the correlation between features, was used to divide the redundant features into the same cluster.In the later phase, the features in each cluster were sorted in descending order according to the correlation between features and the number of software defects, and then the top features were selected to form the feature subset.The experimental results show that the proposed method can improve the prediction performance of software defect number prediction model by effectively removing redundant and irrelevant features.…”

Congestion control protocol design based on delay parameters for layered multicast communication by BIAN Jing1, WANG Ze-qiang1, ZHANG Guang-zhao2, YANG Yi-qiang3

“…A congestion control mechanism,BDP（based on delay parameters） was presented to be used in receiver-driven layered multicast for multimedia transmission.Based on the dynamic varying of delay parameters,BDP can estimate the path’s available bandwidth for adaptive decision of layer join in order to provide guarantee of efficient network resources utilization,and can forecast the network congestion state in quick response to it.The ns2 simulation results show that BDP can achieve scalability,stability,fast convergence and be superior to MRAAR-MT protocol in TCP fairness.…”
