A Study on Spatial and Temporal Changes and Synergies/Trade-Offs of the Production-Living-Ecological Functions in Mountainous Areas Based on the Niche Width Model by Yaling Li, Ruoying Song, Ping Ren

“…The synergistic effect between PF and EF strengthens significantly, the trade-off relationship between PF and LF weakens slightly, and the trade-off between LF and EF remains prominent; high-low (HL) clusters and low-high (LH) clusters exceed 55%; (3) based on synergy/trade-off relationships, the study area is divided into six functional zones (e.g., economic priority zones, ecological protection zones), with proposed optimization strategies such as “intensive valley development, eco-cultural tourism in border areas, and urban-rural coordination in central regions,” providing scientific support for sustainable territorial spatial utilization in mountainous areas.…”

Adaptive routing and wavelength assignment method based on SDN by Zhongnan ZHAO, Jian WANG, Hongwei GUO

“…Routing and wavelength assignment is an important resource allocation method of all-optical network.Aiming at the problem of traditional method combined with the new architecture,an adaptive multi-objective routing and wavelength assignment method based on SDN was proposed,which could realize the allocation of link resources of all-optical network through self-regulation.Based on the SDN service function chain model,service scheduling time and link service quality were taken as the scheduling objective,routing and wavelength assignment problem was constructed as the 0-1 integer programming problem,meanwhile,binary hybrid topology particle swarm optimization algorithm was used to optimize the network resources for optimal scheduling.The simulation results show that the proposed method is superior to the traditional classical algorithms in the test of recovery time,blocking rate and resource utilization.…”
