Distributed dynamic mapping scheme based on cost function by Guo-dong GE, Yun-fei GUO, Ju-long LAN, Cai-xia LIU

“…For supporting efficient host mobility and mapping identifiers onto locators,a distributed dynamic mobility mapping scheme based on cost function was proposed.In the scheme,depending on the mobility pattern and communication feature,the communication of mobile node is divided into three communication models,namely,moving update model,balanced transmission model and resolving query model.In order to minimize the total resolving cost,three mapping approach are proposed based on distributed multicast,consistent hash functions and proactive sharing respectively in the mobile domain.For each mapping approach,corresponding registration update,resolution query and packet delivery strategies are designed.Simulation results show that the scheme can achieve the minimum resolving cost,and can have low resolve latency and good adaptability for network topology dynamic changing.…”

Techniques of Finding Lower Bounds in Multi Objective Functions by Ayad Ramadhan, Adil Jabbar

“…In this paper, the problm of sequencing n jobs on one machine is considered with a multi objective function.Two problems have been studied, sum of completion times added with the maximum tardiness () and sum of completion times with the maximum tardiness (), the first one has optimal solution solved by Branch and bound technique, the second has efficient solutions founded by Van Wassenhove algorithm.A theorem is presented to show a relation between the number of efficient solutions, lower bound (LB) and optimal solution.This theorem restricts the range of the lower bound, which is the main factor to find the optimal solution.Also the theorem opens algebraic operations and concepts to find new lower bounds. …”

How to Provide Functional Grammar with Typological-Diachronic Adequacy by Javier Martín Arista

“…The reason why this new concept is coined is that, in spite of the fact that one of the main concerns of Functional Grammar is how to achieve typological adequacy (more than eighty languages —most of which are not Indo-uropean— have been successfully discussed from the point of view of FG), this theoretical framework still lacks a detailed discussion of the relationship between Diachrony and Typology. …”
