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.

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,
