Unit 4
The document discusses various transport layer protocols for mobile computing environments:
- Traditional TCP faces problems with high error rates and mobility-induced packet losses in wireless networks. It can lead to severe performance degradation.
- Indirect TCP segments the TCP connection and uses a specialized TCP for the wireless link, isolating wireless errors. But it loses end-to-end semantics.
- Snooping TCP buffers packets near the mobile host and performs local retransmissions transparently. But wireless errors can still propagate to the server.
- Mobile TCP splits the connection and uses different mechanisms on each segment. It chokes the sender window during disconnections to avoid retransmissions and slow starts. This maintains throughput during
Unit 2
The document discusses various medium access control (MAC) protocols for wireless networks. It describes challenges with applying carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) to wireless networks due to problems like hidden and exposed terminals. It then covers different MAC schemes like space division multiple access (SDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), and code division multiple access (CDMA) that aim to address these challenges. Specific protocols discussed in more detail include Aloha, slotted Aloha, and how TDMA can be used for fixed or dynamic channel allocation.
Mobile computing unit 5
The document discusses database issues related to mobile computing. It describes how mobile devices cache data from servers to reduce latency when the device is offline. The cached data is referred to as being "hoarded" in the device database. It discusses different database architectures including one-tier architectures where the database is specific to a mobile device and two-tier architectures involving client-server models. It also describes different cache invalidation mechanisms used to maintain consistency between cached data on devices and data on servers.
Unit 3
Mobile IP allows mobile nodes to change their point of attachment to the internet while maintaining ongoing communications. It includes the following key entities:
- Mobile nodes can move between home and foreign networks while keeping their IP address.
- Foreign agents provide services to visiting mobile nodes and advertise care-of addresses for tunneling packets to mobile nodes' current locations.
- The home agent maintains a location registry with mobile nodes' care-of addresses and tunnels packets to their current points of attachment when away from home.
- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can be used by mobile nodes to obtain temporary IP addresses at foreign networks to use as their care-of addresses.

March 17 Chequebook Recod
You start with $400 in your chequing account. On March 18 you deposit a $300 paycheck, bringing your balance to $700. On March 19 you write 4 cheques: cheque #22 for $45 to Manitoba Hydro, cheque #23 for $55 to the City of Winnipeg, cheque #24 for $200 to Visa, and cheque #25 for $50 to DMCI, reducing your balance to $350.
March 18 Reconciliation
Reconciling a bank statement involves comparing transaction records to the bank's statement to identify any differences. When reconciling, the reconciler finds transactions recorded by one party but not the other. By accounting for these differences in a reconciliation statement, the reconciler can ensure the final balances match and identify any potential errors made by either party. The process involves listing matching transactions, recording the initial balances, then adding deposits or subtracting withdrawals found in one record but not the other to make the final balances equal. If the balances do not match after reconciliation, an error has occurred that requires correction.
March 18 Radicals
This document discusses square roots and their properties. It provides examples of taking the square root of both sides of an equation to solve for the variable. It also shows combining like terms within square root expressions and then taking the square root of both sides to isolate the variable.
March 18 Withdrawal Slips
Withdrawal slips are records of when and how much money is taken out of a bank account. The document instructs the reader to fill out a sample withdrawal slip pretending to withdraw $100 from their account on the current date. The slip would document the pretend $100 withdrawal for record keeping purposes.
March 18 Compound Interest
The document discusses compound interest rates across three scenarios. In the first, investing $1000 at 8% interest compounded semi-annually for 4 years would yield more than the original $1000. In the second, Jim's Bank offering 6% interest compounded monthly on deposits over $2000 is a better choice than Steve's Bank offering 5% compounded weekly, if the money is left for 2 years. In the third, Peter buys a $500 laptop on a credit card with 17.5% interest compounded monthly but cannot pay for 6 months, making the real cost of the laptop more than $500.
March 17 Rule Of 72
The document discusses the rule of 72, which is a method for estimating how long it will take an investment to double in value at a given annual interest rate. It states that to estimate the number of years for an investment to double, one should divide 72 by the annual interest rate percentage. However, the document provides no further explanation or context regarding the rule of 72.
March 16 Compound Interest 2
The document discusses compound interest rates and calculations. It asks how much money would be earned from investing $1000 at 8% interest compounded semi-annually over 4 years. It also asks which bank would earn more interest over 2 years, between one offering 6% interest compounded monthly on deposits over $2000, and another offering 5% interest compounded weekly on the same size deposits.
March 12 Forms Of Lines
There are three forms of lines: slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), standard form (ax+by+c=0), and neither of the above. Slope-intercept form provides the slope and y-intercept in a simple way. Standard form writes the line as a polynomial with everything on one side of the equation and x positive. Standard form can be found by converting slope-intercept form or by knowing two points that the line passes through.
March 12 Discriminant
The document discusses the discriminant of a quadratic equation and what the sign of the discriminant indicates about the number of roots. It provides an example quadratic equation of 4x^2 + 3x + 8 = 0. It then shows:
1) Calculating the discriminant of -119 which is negative, indicating there are no real roots.
2) A general explanation that a negative discriminant means no real roots, while a positive discriminant means there are two real roots.
3) When the discriminant is 0, there is exactly one real root.
March 11 Deposit Slips
This document provides instructions for completing deposit slips based on sample transactions. It describes that a deposit slip records money deposited into a bank account. It gives an example of Betty depositing two cheques for $30 and $40, as well as $40 in cash and $4 in coins. It also provides an example for Steve depositing three cheques for $35, $47, and $25.67 and taking $40 in cash from the deposit. The document aims to demonstrate how to fill out deposit slips.

March 8 Compound Interest
The document explains compound interest using examples of borrowing $1000 at 8% interest for 1 year, and then not paying it back for additional years. It shows how the interest builds on itself each year, with the borrower paying interest on accumulated interest. A formula is provided to calculate the final amount for any principal, interest rate, number of compounding periods per year, and term of years. An example calculates the amount owed after 2 years at 6% interest compounded semi-annually.
Ambiguous Case1
The document discusses the sine and cosine laws for solving triangles. It provides examples of using these laws to calculate missing angles and sides of triangles when given certain information. However, one of the examples leads to two possible triangle solutions, showing that the information provided an ambiguous case with multiple valid options. The summary concludes that without more context, both triangle solutions are considered correct since the given information allows for more than one possibility.
March 4 Pay Raise
This document discusses pay raises and how to calculate new salaries after a percentage increase. It provides two examples: one where Joan received an 8% raise on her $1000 monthly salary, increasing it to $1080, and another where Steve's $45,000 annual salary was increased 15% to $51,750 after his raise. Percentage raises are commonly used to increase employee salaries over time based on a set percentage of their current pay.
March 8 Quadratic Equations
This document defines key terms related to quadratic equations such as monomial, binomial, trinomial, and polynomial. It explains that a quadratic equation is a polynomial of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, which can be graphed as a parabola. The roots or zeros of a quadratic equation are the values of x where the equation equals 0. As an example, it finds the roots of the quadratic equation x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0 to be -2 and -3.
March 8 Pay Raise 2
This document provides examples of calculating percentage pay raises based on starting salary and new salary amounts. It first shows an example of calculating an 8% raise on a $10 hourly wage. It then gives an example of determining the percentage increase for an employee who received a $60 weekly raise on a $500 weekly wage, which is a 12% raise. The final example shows calculating an 8.333% raise for an employee whose annual pay will increase from $60,000 to $65,000.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
