Derivation of Equations for Flexible Multibody Systems in Terms of Quasi-Coordinates from the Extended Hamilton’s Principle by L. Meirovitch

“…The first consists of the use of the extended Hamilton’s principle to derive standard Lagrange’s equations in terms of generalized coordinates and the second represents a transformation of the Lagrange’s equations to equations in terms of quasi-coordinates. In this article, hybrid (ordinary and partial) differential equations for flexible multibody systems are derived in terms of quasi-coordinates directly from the extended Hamilton's principle. …”

Algorithm for the cloud service workflow scheduling with setup time and deadline constraints by Hong SHEN, Xiao-ping LI

“…Cost minimization with deadline constraints and setup time is a new resource allocation optimization problem in cloud computing.An integer programming model is constructed for this NP-hard problem.A novel probability model and updating mechanism is suggested for sampling the solution space.A heuristic method is investigated for generating good initial population.A hybrid estimation of distribution algorithm (HEDA) is proposed for the considered problem.The global best solution is adopted to balance the diversification and intensification of HEDA.Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective to optimize the workflow running cost within reasonable CPU time.…”

Design of Sports Image Contour Feature Acquisition System Based on the Background Subtraction Method by Zhichao Xiong

“…We propose two methods are improved and fused, respectively, and the fusion algorithm is applied to the complex scene for MTD, so as to improve the accuracy of MTD in complex and hybrid scenes. Using the main idea of the three-frame difference image method, the background difference method and the interframe difference method are combined to make their advantages complementary to overcome each other’s weaknesses. …”

Overview of state-of-the-art and future of networked video quality assessment by Fu-zheng YANG, Shuai WAN

“…Assessment of networked video quality is the key to ensure the quality of service for networked video applications.From the viewpoint of the employed video information and the level of access to the bit-stream,objective quality-assessment models can be categorized into the parametric-planning model,parametric packet-layer model,parametric bit-stream-layer model,media-layer model,and hybrid model.The classification and application of networked video quality assessment was first introduced.Then the characteristics,key techniques,state-of-the-art,and standardization process of each model were described based on the key factors which impact the networked video quality.…”

Improved packet classification algorithm based on multidimensional space dynamic division and RFC by Xiaoyu CHEN, Yueming LU

“…According to the existing problem that memory usage grows exponentially with the size increase of rule set in RFC (recursive flow classification) algorithm,an improved packet classification algorithm,HRFC (Hybrid-RFC) was put forward.The new algorithm completes the dynamic division of a multidimensional space rule set by a decision tree,accomplishes the mapping of each subset with multiple phase reduction trees,so as to realize fast and efficient packet classification.The simulation results show that the new algorithm can reduce the space usage effectively while guaranteeing the performance of classification speed.…”
