Neuromorphic Sensor Network Platform: A Bioinspired Tool to Grow Applications in Wireless Sensor Networks by Mark Richard Wilby, Ana Belén Rodríguez González, Juan José Vinagre Díaz, Jesús Requena Carrión

“…NSNs follow an analogy with the neurophysiology of vertebrates, compressing the information coming from sets of sensors in wireless nodes and processing it by means of a set of processing units (PUs) that perform individual general purpose functions. Applications are then constructed through specific connections of these PUs, generating application pathways that allow the reuse of the same distributed NSN to give response to any desired output, thus achieving an application scalability . …”

A Capacity Allocation Method for Long-Endurance Hydrogen-Powered Hybrid UAVs Based on Two-Stage Optimization by Haitao Li, Chenyu Wang, Shufu Yuan, Hui Zhu, Li Sun

“…Due to the challenges associated with the application of existing two-stage optimization methods in energy system capacity configuration, such as uncertainty scenario generation, multi-timescale coupling, and balancing economic and environmental benefits, this paper proposes a two-stage optimization configuration method based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for the capacity configuration of long-endurance hydrogen-powered hybrid unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). By constructing a hydrogen-powered hybrid UAV energy system model, an uncertainty model for the energy system, and multi-timescale comprehensive evaluation indicators and corresponding objective functions, the capacity configuration is determined using a two-stage stochastic programming model solved by CPLEX in MATLAB. …”
