Self-adaptive joint routing and spectrum allocation algorithm with QoS constraints in cognitive wireless Mesh networks by Zhu-fang KUANG, Zhi-gang CHEN, Xiao-heng DENG

“…A self-adaptive joint routing (SA2JR) and spectrum allocation algorithm with QoS constraints in cognitive wireless mesh networks was proposed.Maximizing the accept ratio of wireless service was the objective of SA2JR under the QoS constraints.The SA2JR algorithm contained κ-Routing and QDSA algorithm.The κ-Routing algorithm produces κ paths for each wireless service.QDSA algorithm took charge of maintaining a feasible path from the κ paths which produced by κ-Routing algorithm.Simulation results show that SA2JR algorithm can achieve expectation goal.It can achieve a higher accept ratio.…”

Joint intelligent optimization of task offloading and service caching for vehicular edge computing by Lei LIU, Chen CHEN, Jie FENG, Qingqi PEI, Ci HE, Zhibin DOU

“…Given the contradiction between limited network resources and massive user demands in Internet of vehicles, an intelligent vehicular edge computing network architecture was proposed to achieve the comprehensive cooperation and intelligent management of network resources.Based on this architecture, a joint optimization scheme of task offloading and service caching was furtherly devised, which formulated an optimization problem about how to offload tasks and allocate computation and cache resources.In view of the dynamics, randomness and time variation of vehicular networks, an asynchronous distributed reinforcement learning algorithm was employed to obtain the optimal task offloading and resource management policy.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves significant performance improvement in comparison with the other schemes.…”

Acoustic source tracking algorithm using track before detect by Jiang-an DAI, Tian-shuang QIU

“…In order to improve tracking performance in a noisy and reverberant environment,an acoustic source tracking algorithm using track before detect was proposed.This algorithm used a modified steered response power as localization function which take into account a rectangular region to achieve more robust source location estimation than steered response power function and applied track-before-detect technology to avoid reduplicate calculation of the same rectangular region so that the algorithm could reduce the computation burden without decreasing the accuracy.The simulation results verified that the proposed algorithm can achieve more accurate tracking results than traditional tracking algorithm in a noisy and reverberant environment.…”

Self-healing key distribution scheme of MANET based on sliding window by DU Chun-lai, HU Ming-zeng, ZHANG Hong-li, ZHANG Wei-zhe

“…A new self-healing key distribution scheme of MANET based on sliding window was proposed in order to re-duce the burden of manager supervising self-healing MANET and to deal with the scene of some users’ lifetime bestrid-ing two session windows.A dual hash directional key chain model was set up.The model achieves t-revocation capability by using control parameter.Through the security analysis,the model has settled users’ bestriding problem yet still achieved security property.Because manager once distributes initial private information to bestriding user and so avoids distributing it again in rebuilding phase,the model reduces the communication cost.…”

Flirting with Controversy: Making Biopics about Truman Capote by Delphine Letort

“…While literary biopics usually recreate the image of an author by drawing on his/her literary creations as signifiers of their authorial identity, Capote (Bennett Miller, 2005) and Infamous (Douglas McGrath, 2007) exploit the celebrity status of the writer by promoting his controversial lifetime achievement, In Cold Blood. Highlighting Truman Capote’s social life as a source of entertainment, the two films marginalize an author whose popularity overshadowed his literary achievements (including as a screenwriter).…”

Anomaly detection system with hole coverage optimization based on negative selection algorithm by Tian-liang LU, Kang-feng ZHENG, Rong-rong FU, Yi-xian YANG, Bin WU, Shi-ze GUO

“…With the problem that a large number of undetectable holes existed in negative selection algorithm,an algorithm of directional generating holes’detectors using r -chunk matching rule with variable matching threshold based on hole-set and self-set was proposed.Improvement was made to negative selection algorithm that NSA with double layers detectors was proposed.This algorithm achieved a wider range of non-self space coverage with the precondition of ensuring fast detection speed by increasing the detection of holes.Simulation result shows that comparing with NSA using variable matching length of r -contiguous bits this algorithm can achieve higher non-self space coverage,especially better performance in hole-space coverage.…”

On coding over the spatial-temporal diversity for reliable transmission scheme in low-duty-cycle WSN by Yu-bo YAN, Pan-long YANG, Lei ZHANG, Zheng-lun QIU, Shan-lin HONG

“…A reliable data delivery scheme for low-duty-cycle wireless sensor networks(WSN)was proposed.Using this scheme,the unique spatial-temporal diversity in low-duty-cycle WSN was explored and exploited.Combining with coding schemes,the proposed scheme could achieve higher energy efficiency and lower delivery delay.The coding block allocation problem over multiple paths was formulated.As it was NP-hard,an approximate algorithm to tackle this difficulty was proposed.The impact of network parameters was further analyzed with experimental methods.Extensive simulations also show that,the coding over the spatial-temporal diversity scheme could achieve relatively reliable and low delay delivery with relatively less energy.…”
