La importancia de escuchar a los jóvenes by Diana Catalina Castaño Hernández, Isabel Cristina Posada Zapata, Érika Tatiana Agudelo Olarte

“…Se estableció que en los modelos de educación presentes en los programas no se tuvieron en cuenta las necesidades de los jóvenes para su formación en SSR. Existe un amplio desarrollo en políticas públicas de juventud, pero los programas de SSR dirigidos a jóvenes siguen teniendo como único sustento las políticas públicas de salud, por esto se deben tener en cuenta las necesidades de los jóvenes para garantizar más éxito en la ejecución.…”

Task collaborative offloading scheme in vehicle multi-access edge computing network by Guanhua QIAO, Supeng LENG, Hao LIU, Kaisheng HUANG, Fan WU

“…In order to solve the problem that traditional mobile edge computing network can’t be straightforwardly applied to the Internet of vehicles (IoV) due to high speed mobility and dynamic network topology,a vehicular edge multi-access computing network (VE-MACN) was introduced to realize collaborative computing offloading between roadside units and smart vehicles.In this context,the collaborative computation offloading was formulated as a joint multi-access model selection and task assignment problem to realize the good balance between long-term system utility,diverse needs of IoV applications and energy consumption.Considering the complex joint optimization problem,a deep reinforcement learning-based collaborative computing offloading scheme was designed to overcome the curse of dimensionality for Q-learning algorithm.The simulation results demonstrate that the feasibility and effectiveness of proposed offloading scheme.…”
