Analysis on marine monitoring and data service of marine internet by Chao DONG, Yankun CHEN

“…China has abundant marine resources and provides new ideas for alleviating the shortage of resources.At the same time,natural disasters in the sea caused great economic losses in the coastal areas.Therefore,in the process of marine development and utilization,there is an increasing need for an ocean interconnected information network that can provide real-time marine sampling,environmental monitoring,underwater exploration,and disaster warning applications.Firstly,the characteristics of marine monitoring methods and monitoring data were introduced in detail.Then,taking the oceanography survey of China and the business characteristics of sea-gas CO₂exchange flux monitoring as examples,it was found that in the long-term marine monitoring task,there were three issues that needed to be solved urgently,including the needs of the marine monitoring internet business,the needs of shared platforms in the context of marine monitoring big data,and the needs of submarine observation networks.…”

Research on new frameworks and key technologies for intelligent emergency command communication networks by Li WANG, Aiguo FEI, Ping ZHANG, Lianming XU

“…The new generation of emergency command communication network is the basic means and important support for enhancing China’s emergency response capabilities such as national natural disasters and accidents, and is a key component of establishing a scientific emergency management technology system.Focusing on the requirements of communication, navigating, and sensing capabilities in “intelligent emergency”, a theoretical method and framework for intelligent emergency command and communication networks was proposed, which was introduced from three aspects in terms of network deployment, resource allocation, and assisted decision-making.The difficulties and technical ideas of multi-objective dynamic network deployment for communication, navigating, and sensing, multi-dimension efficient resource allocation for communication, computation, and caching, and multi-level decision-making and intelligent enhancement with cloud-edge-terminal collaboration were analyzed and discussed.It provides theoretical methods and key technical supports for building a new generation of emergency command and communication network in China.…”
