    Performance analysis of heterogeneous cellular caching networks with overlapping small cells

    , Article IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology ; 2021 ; 00189545 (ISSN) Rezaei, F ; Hossein Khalaj, B ; Xiao, M ; Skoglund, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc  2021
    Abstract
    Caching at network edges has attracted more and more research interests recently for the purpose of alleviating the network traffic pressure especially in backhaul links and improving user experience. We study Heterogeneous Cellular Caching Networks (HCCNs) consisting of macro cells in which N small cell base stations (SBSs) equipped with cache memory operate in conjunction with the macro cell base station (MBS). We provide closed-form expressions of the MBS and SBSs utilization factors and average user-experienced-delay in HCCNs with overlapping coverage regions, considering general traffic models for the request arrivals based on the Independent Reference Model (IRM) and renewal traffic... 

    Optimizing temperature guardbands

    , Article 20th Design, Automation and Test in Europe, DATE 2017, 27 March 2017 through 31 March 2017 ; 2017 , Pages 175-180 ; 9783981537093 (ISBN) Amrouch, H ; Khaleghi, B ; Henkel, J ; ACM Special Interest Group on Design Automation (ACM SIGDA); Electronic System Design Alliance (ESDA); et al.; European Design and Automation Association (EDAA); European Electronic Chips and Systems Design Initiative (ECSI); IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA) ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    We introduce the first temperature guardbands optimization based on thermal-aware logic synthesis and thermal-aware timing analysis. The optimized guardbands are obtained solely due to using our so-called thermal-aware cell libraries together with existing tool flows and not due to sacrificing timing constraints (i.e. no trade-offs). We demonstrate that temperature guardbands can be optimized at design time through thermal-aware logic synthesis in which more resilient circuits against worst-case temperatures are obtained. Our static guardband optimization leads to 18% smaller guardbands on average. We also demonstrate that thermal-aware timing analysis enables designers to accurately... 

    Multi-Sender index coding over linear networks

    , Article IEEE Communications Letters ; 2021 ; 10897798 (ISSN) Ghaffari, F ; Shariatpanahi, S. P ; Jafari Siavoshani, M ; Bahrak, B ; Sharif University of Technology
    Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc  2021
    Abstract
    We consider an index coding problem in which several transmitters deliver distinct files to a number of users with minimum delay. Each user has access to a subset of other files from the library, which can be used as side information. The information sent by the transmitters experience a linear transformation before being received at the users. By benefiting from the concept of Zero-Forcing in MIMO systems, we generalize the notion of MinRank characterization and the clique cover algorithm to accommodate this generalized setting. We show that increasing the number of transmitters can substantially reduce the delivery delay. IEEE  

    Provide a Model Providing IT-based Services in the Cloud Manufacturing Requirements with Regard to ITIL

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Karimnejad, Mohsen (Author) ; Fatahi Valilai, Omid (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    With the advent of the globalization paradigm, the industrial interactions among manufacturing companies have become easier, and the possibility of sharing of the resources among them has been introduced. This issue, coupled with the increasing diversity of customer needs, has led to a change in business models of manufacturing industries and because of that, in the field of globalized manufacturing, a new paradigm called cloud manufacturing has been proposed in which service-orientation is one of the main features. Despite of the extensive studies on cloud manufacturing, the lack of a framework that, based on the service-orientation, determines the improving of manufacturing processes to... 

    A Secure Approach for Using Third Party Libraries in Mashup Applications

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Karimi Menjarmouei, Mostsfa (Author) ; Hemmatyar, Ali Mohammad Afshin (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Reusing third-party libraries is inevitable to reach an acceptable development time and cost in current application development methodologies. As these libraries are placed in the address space of the native application, they have the same access rights as it.These libraries may contain deliberate or unintended bugs that result in security vulnerabilities.Previous approaches to limit access rights of these libraries either lack a comprehensive control over different resources, e.g., they prevent unprivileged access to RAM while illegal disk or network access is still possible, or impose significant performance overhead.In this thesis, we have presented a secure approach to third-party... 

    Remote Sensing of Hyperspectral Images for Detection Surface Mines

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Motahari Kelarestaghi, Alireza (Author) ; Amini, Arash (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Hyperspectral unmixing (HU) is a method used to estimate the fractional abundances corresponding to endmembers in each of the mixed pixels in the hyperspectral remote sensing image. In recent times, deep learning has been recognized as an effective technique for hyperspectral image classification. In this thesis, an end-to-end HU method is proposed based on the convolutional neural network (CNN) and multi-layer perceptron (MLP). which consists of two steps: the first stage extracts features from the input data along with the inverse learning of the spectral library matrix in the hyperspectral image where columns represent the pure spectral of endmembers and The second stage is to estimate...

Two experiments confirm the need for such a universal Digital Library worldwide to enhance learning capabilities, increase accessibility, avoid redundancy... 

    A Methology for Implementing ITIL V3 based on PMBOK

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Haji Hosseini, Hamid Reza (Author) ; Shadrokh, Shahram (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    PMBOK is a standard that is the subset of Project Management Knowledge and includes all areas. ITIL is a framework that allows IT organizations using best practices in IT Service Management. Both of them includes some process that during implementation and execution should act based on them. The goal of developing a methodology for implementing ITIL V3 based on PMBOK is executing a comparison mapping for connecting these two difference fields. IT managers know about ITIL implementation, but most of project managers are not familiar about it. If we guess that implementing ITIL V3 is a project, a project manager can do it based on PMBOK. With mapping these two fields, project managers are able... 

    Proposing a Methodology for Combination of ITIL and Enterprise Architecture

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Salehi, Arezoo (Author) ; Habibi, Jafar (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Today, with the development of information systems and the use of information technology in organizations and the act of IT department to become out of isolation mode and also alignment of IT with the strategies and goals of the business units, many believe that the information should flow in organization without any borders. In addition to having common points, each of these frameworks have different features that make organizations have difficulties in choosing between them. It should be noted that the implementation of two or more frameworks together, can waste time and money, cause lots of rework, and also can lead conflicting outcomes in their organizations. Enterprise architecture... 

    Code Generation of AKKA Actors from Reo Coordination Models

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Sanginian, Reza (Author) ; Izadi, Mohammad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Developing distributed systems is always harder than centralized systems, because in distributed systems there are problems like how nodes must collaborate with each other, throughput, latency and so on, that is not concerned in centralized systems. For solving this problem, It's better to have an abstract view of system to show this concerns. one of the coordination languages to have that abstract view of system, is Reo language. Reo language is a coordination language that describe how components of systems, can coordinate with each other. This project is built to decrease the distance between designing and implementing. In this project an abstract view of system which is in Reo language,... 

    Detecting Repackaged Android Applications

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Torki Harchegani, Mehran (Author) ; Amini, Morteza (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Developing an android application from scratch is a time-consuming and expensive process, but modifying an existing and similar application is much easier. Modifying an android application, which is called repackaging, is done for different purposes. Cracking non-free android applications, modifying advertising libraries code, adding malicious payload to benign ones and redistributing known malwares are some of the important purposes. Existing methods for confronting android application repackaging can be divided into three categories: 1) based on comparing with the original application, 2) based on changing the original application, 3) based on changing the android platform. Methods in the... 

    Evaluation of Dose Change to Brain Tumor in Proton Therapy by Utilizing Magnetic Field

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Karbalaee, Faezeh (Author) ; Vosoughi, Naser (Supervisor) ; Salimi, Ehsan (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    The use of protons and charged particles such as carbon in the treatment of cancerous tumors is one of the new methods of external radiation therapy. Proton therapy can achieve almost the same tumor dose coverage as traditional photon therapy with a greatly reduced dose to the normal organ. The radiation deviations caused by the magnetic field are an effective factor in reducing the dose of vital organs without sacrificing the dose coverage of tumors; Therefore, a new method of proton therapy, called magnetic field-modulated proton therapy, has been proposed, in which the Bragg peak positions of proton beams can be modulated under the cover of predesigned magnetic fields inside cancer...

    Abstract
    Reusing the programs which have already been developed can shorten the production time and reduce costs and expenses. One of the important issues in software reuse is finding a program or a program component in a program library which has been already developed and using it in the new program. In view of precision and automation that formal methods can provide, we can use formal methods in retrieval appropriate components from the software libraries. In this paper, some of the works done in the field of retrieval of the components from the libraries by the help of formal methods have been surveyed and reviewed  

    A probabilistic joint sparse regression model for semisupervised hyperspectral unmixing

    , Article IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters ; Volume 14, Issue 5 , 2017 , Pages 592-596 ; 1545598X (ISSN) Seyyedsalehi, S. F ; Rabiee, H. R ; Soltani Farani, A ; Zarezade, A ; Sharif University of Technology
    Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc  2017
    Abstract
    Semisupervised hyperspectral unmixing finds the ratio of spectral library members in the mixture of hyperspectral pixels to find the proportion of pure materials in a natural scene. The two main challenges are noise in observed spectral vectors and high mutual coherence of spectral libraries. To tackle these challenges, we propose a probabilistic sparse regression method for linear hyperspectral unmixing, which utilizes the implicit relations of neighboring pixels. We partition the hyperspectral image into rectangular patches. The sparse coefficients of pixels in each patch are assumed to be generated from a Laplacian scale mixture model with the same latent variables. These latent variables... 

    Let me join two worlds! analyzing the integration of web and native technologies in hybrid mobile apps

    , Article Proceedings - 17th IEEE International Conference on Trust, Security and Privacy in Computing and Communications and 12th IEEE International Conference on Big Data Science and Engineering, Trustcom/BigDataSE 2018, 31 July 2018 through 3 August 2018 ; 2018 , Pages 1814-1819 ; 9781538643877 (ISBN) Pouryousef, S ; Rezaiee, M ; Chizari, A ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    We can notice that security problems of inappropriate integration of native and web technologies in hybrid mobile applications (apps) have been covered in the related state-of-the-art research. However, analyzing hybrid mobile apps' unique behaviors has been seldom addressed. In this paper, we explore the influence of native and web technologies integration in hybrid mobile apps on the generated profile of mobile applications. Specifically, we analyze the type of Security Sensitive APIs (SS-APIs) exposed to web content and identify the corresponding usage patterns by systematically tracking function-call-graphs of a large number of hybrid and native mobile apps. Our investigations indicate... 

    Storage, communication, and load balancing trade-off in distributed cache networks

    , Article IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems ; Volume 29, Issue 4 , April , 2018 , Pages 943-957 ; 10459219 (ISSN) Jafari Siavoshani, M ; Pourmiri, A ; Shariatpanahi, S. P ; Sharif University of Technology
    IEEE Computer Society  2018
    Abstract
    We consider load balancing in a network of caching servers delivering contents to end users. Randomized load balancing via the so-called power of two choices is a well-known approach in parallel and distributed systems. In this framework, we investigate the tension between storage resources, communication cost, and load balancing performance. To this end, we propose a randomized load balancing scheme which simultaneously considers cache size limitation and proximity in the server redirection process. In contrast to the classical power of two choices setup, since the memory limitation and the proximity constraint cause correlation in the server selection process, we may not benefit from the... 

    A time dependent Monte Carlo approach for nuclear reactor analysis in a 3-D arbitrary geometry

    , Article Progress in Nuclear Energy ; Volume 115 , 2019 , Pages 80-90 ; 01491970 (ISSN) Mazaher, M. G ; Salehi, A. A ; Vosoughi, N ; Sharif University of Technology
    Elsevier Ltd  2019
    Abstract
    A highly reliable tool for transient simulation is vital in the safety analysis of a nuclear reactor. Despite this fact most tools still use diffusion theory and point-kinetics that involve many approximation such as discretization in space, energy, angle and time. However, Monte Carlo method inherently overcomes these restrictions and provides an appropriate foundation to accurately calculate the parameters of a reactor. In this paper fundamental parameters like multiplication factor (K eff ) and mean generation time (t G ) are calculated using Monte Carlo method and then employed in transient analysis for computing the neutron population, proportional to K eff , during a generation time... 

    Modification of a dynamic monte carlo technique to simplify and accelerate transient analysis with feedback

    , Article Nuclear Science and Engineering ; 2021 ; 00295639 (ISSN) Ghaderi Mazaher, M ; Salehi, A. A ; Vosoughi, N ; Sharif University of Technology
    Taylor and Francis Ltd  2021
    Abstract
    In this paper, a simpler approach compared to the existing approaches is developed to analyze nuclear reactor dynamics based on the explicit Monte Carlo method. A new population control method is also introduced to prevent neutron population growth and consequent computer memory shortages, which also increases simulation speed. The scheme is applied for time-dependent particle tracking in three-dimensional arbitrary geometries in the presence of feedbacks through a code named MCSP-Explicit. Changes in material density, as well as geometry dimensions, are also considered during simulation. MCSP-Explicit can be run with either continuous or multigroup data libraries, and it is further boosted...

    Abstract
    Sentiment analysis plays a key role in companies, especially stores, and increasing the accuracy in determining customers’ opinions about products assists to maintain their competitive conditions. We intend to analyze the users’ opinions on the website of the most immense online store in Iran; Digikala. However, the Persian language is unstructured which makes the pre-processing stage very difficult and it is the main problem of sentiment analysis in Persian. What exacerbates this problem is the lack of available libraries for Persian pre-processing, while most libraries focus on English. To tackle this, approximately 3 million reviews were gathered in Persian from the Digikala website using...
