In vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), due to highly mobile and frequently changing topology, available resources and transmission opportunities are restricted. To address this, we propose a burst transmission and frame aggregation (FAB) scheme to enhance transmission opportunity (TXOP) efficiency of...

In the current Internet system, there are many problems using anonymity of the network communication such as personal information leaks and crimes using the Internet system. This is why TCP/IP protocol used in Internet system does not have the user identification information on the communication data,...

This paper focuses on an evaluation of coding violation warned by a static code analysis tool while considering the change history of violation and the authorship of source file. Through an empirical study with data collected from seven open source software projects, the following findings are reported:...

Allocating tasks to distributed sites in Global Software Development (GSD) projects is often done unsystematically and based on the personal experience of project managers. Wrong allocation decisions increase the project’s risks as tasks have dependencies that are inherited by the distributed sites....

This paper improves the estimation of the amounts of sewage flow, which is one of daily life data, in order to manage them efficiently. The amounts of flow of a typical day are tried to be adjusted to those of a non-regular day. A typical (non-regular, respectively) day is a non-rainy day having good...

We propose a method to estimate and visualize effects of a binary covariate on the longitudinally observed text data. Our method consists of series of analytical methods: extracting keywords through a morphological analysis, estimating the time-varying regression coefficient of a binary covariate for...
