多域光网络中的一种支持多播业务的动态RWA算法

路由与波长分配(RWA)仍是下一代智能光网络中的一个核心问题。由于下一代智能光网络将被划分为多个路由域进行分布式的网络管理,因此传统光网络中的那些基于全网信息的 RWA 算法将不再有效。与此同时,随着光网络中多播业务的不断增加,RWA 算法的研究中又出现了一些新的挑战。为解决这些问题,文章结合多播业务的需求,提出了一种适用于多域光网络中的可支持多播业务的动态 RWA 算法,并对其进行了计算机仿真研究,分析了算法的性能。

基于树分解/合并策略的QoS多播路由方法

针对多约束QoS多播路由的NP-Complete特性,提出一种可控的多播树分解与合并策略,使多播树的生成在兼顾低费用的同时具有多样性,有效克服多播路由优化的局部极值问题。基于该策略设计蚁群算法,分解蚂蚁种群为与多播目标点相对应的蚂蚁子群,引入基于“死点”惩罚和多播树奖惩的信息素更新机制,提高了算法的收敛速度。仿真实验表明,该方法能有效地解决QoS多播路由问题,且随着网络规模的增大保持了良好的性能。

针对目前无线多媒体传感器网络QoS路由协议算法复杂、能耗较大等缺点,提出将蚁群优化算法用于改进无线多媒体传感器网络的路由选择.首先,抽象出多媒体传感器网络QoS 路由模型,进而,利用蚁群算法设计了一个运用带网络约束条件的权值去更新信息素浓度增量的路由算法--AntWMSN算法,AntWMSN算法利用正向蚂蚁F_(ant)收集链路带宽、时延、丢包率等参数,结合精华蚂蚁系统更新本地节点的网络状态模型以及每个访问过的节点上的信息素,从而找到满足多约束QoS条件下的最佳路由.仿真结果表明,该算法具有分布式全局优化网络路由选择的特性,比传统的QoS路由协议具有更好的收敛性,并且在满足网络对QoS参数需求的前提下,有效地提高了网络的生命周期.     

MANET多路径路由中最大可靠性路径选择算法

如何选择路径的数量和质量对多路径路由机制的性能有着重要的影响。已有的多路径算法没有深入研究如何选择多路径的问题。对目前存在的两个典型问题进行了分析,在此基础上研究了路径可靠性模型和虚拟完全非交叉多路径模型,然后提出一个最大可靠性多路径选择算法。算法利用路径权重作为路径可靠性的近似解决方案,以此克服路径可靠性度量问题(NP难题)研究的复杂性,根据路径可靠性模型和完全非交叉多路径模型来选择可靠的路径集,使用这组路径集并行分布流量。应用OPNET模拟平台实现了算法,结果表明,本算法能增加聚合带宽,优化网络带宽的应用,提高网络的吞吐率和多路径路由的性能。

基于强化学习的移动自组织网络分步路由算法*

移动自组织网络是一种无基础设施、由移动通信节点组成的无线网络,具有高度的动态特性。传统的路由协议并不能适应节点移动性带来的频繁拓扑变化,简单的洪泛路由也会因开销过大降低网络的性能。针对如何在移动自组织网络中自适应地进行路由选择,提出了一种基于强化学习的分步路由选择算法。该算法以最小链路总往返时延为目标,基于强化学习进行路由搜寻,在筛选出符合目标需求节点集合的基础上,结合置信度选择路由。在链路变得不可靠时,数据包被广播给筛选出的邻居节点集来提升路由可靠性并降低开销。对提出的算法在分组到达率和路由开销等主要性能指标进行数值仿真分析,仿真结果表明,提出的分步路由算法相比于基于强化学习的智能鲁棒路由,在降低开销的同时,保持着相当的吞吐率。

Terrorism,insurgency, kidnapping,and security in Africa's energy sector

Energy continues to serve as the bedrock of modern economies and the main driver of modern society. For Africa, the production and supply of energy resources such as crude oil, natural gas, uranium, coal, biomass, biofuels and other renewables are an important source of employment, rents, taxes, royalties and profits. This sector brings in several tens of billions of dollars of revenue annually. The production and delivery of such resources, however, depend on critical infrastructures such as pipelines, refineries, processing plants, terminals, rigs, electrical energy pylons, substations, pump stations, vessels, and tankers. These infrastructures have been attacked by terrorists, insurgents, vandals and saboteurs, all of whom see them as targets against which to register their grievances and extract concessions from the state. This paper is a chronological account of some of the documented incidents of terrorism, insurgency, kidnapping, destruction, sabotage, and human casualties suffered in the oil and gas sectors in Africa between 1999 and 2012. It is based on data extracted from the databases of the RAND Database of World Terrorism Incidents and the University of Maryland's Global Terrorism Database (GTD).     

Helping hands: civil–military cooperation and Italy's military operation abroad

In the Post-Bipolar Era the growing complexity of the military operations requires a new approach for the resolution of international crises. Since the end of the Cold War, peace support operations (PSO) have become the mainstay and principal occupation of most Western armies. At the same time, Italy has been one of the most important actors in such an area. The article focuses on the cooperation between military and civil components (a process called CIMIC) as a key variable in the Italian PSOs. We will analyse in detail the main lessons learned from past military interventions as well as the general context in which new tendencies are taking place. The maintaining of a minimum security frame becomes essential to fulfil activities ‘collateral’ to the mission: reconstructing services and infrastructure, food distribution, water and medication, law and order, de-mining, training of local forces, and supporting local institutions. These are the main tasks to obtain thrust and support from the population.     

Tacit support for terrorism: The rapprochement between the USSR and Palestinian guerrilla organizations following the 1967 war

This article demonstrates the inconsistent and wavering Soviet attitude towards national liberation movements in general and the Palestinian organizations in particular. Until the late 1960s, the Soviets viewed these organizations with suspicion, hesitating to engage in political dialogue with them. However, in the 1970s, political and military events in the region, as well as modifications in the Kremlin's Cold War strategies, led to a general shift towards the Middle East in Soviet foreign policy. Soviet leaders showed increased willingness to provide certain Palestinian organizations with arms with which to conduct terrorist activities against Israeli, pro-Israeli, Jewish and Western targets. The article explores the complex relations between Palestinian organizations and the USSR in the field of international terror. The study also exposes and analyzes the nature and content of Soviet–Palestinian arms dialogues and transactions. It provides clear evidence that Soviet policymakers and other luminaries were fully informed of, and sometimes directly involved in, these transactions and dialogues at the highest levels.     

A1 Qaeda and the radical Islamic challenge to western strategy

The September 11 global crisis prompted by the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon raises major questions concerning the nature and trajectory of terrorism in the post-Cold War global order. Hitherto, terrorism has been largely debated by analysts at the level of nation states. Terrorist and insurgent movements have also been largely anchored in nationalist and ethnic power bases even when they have sought to mobilise a transnational ideological appeal on religious or class grounds. There have been a few exceptions to this pattern such as the alliance between the German Baader-Meinhof group and the Japanese Red Army Faction, but even such international alliances as this did not, until at least the 1980s, presage anything like a global terrorist network necessitating a global strategic response. This study examines terrorism and global strategic responses.     

Helping hands: external support for the KNU insurgency in Burma

This article analyses to what extent the Burmese KNU insurgency made use of external support from states, refugees, and diasporas. Based on extensive fieldwork it is concluded that support from neighbouring states and refugees has for years kept the Karen rebellion alive. Western countries perceived forms of resistance to the illegitimate Burmese regime as just and have therefore played a crucial role in the continuation of conflict in Karen State. It is important that policymakers and donors as well as executing organizations continue to reflect critically on the way they exercise their work.

Cyber sheiks and grassroots jihadis: the war in Syria and the devolution of the Bosnian Salafi communities

ABSTRACT

What was the scope of the Bosnian jihadi participation in the war in Syria? Did the Bosnian volunteers tend to join one particular faction? Why did the Bosnian youngsters decide to join the holy war in the Levant? Was this an organized and hierarchical process or was this a grassroots movement? Last, were all the Salafis in Bosnia supportive of this dynamic or did this process cause internal frictions? These are some of the questions that this research will try to answer.     

The UK,interrogation and Iraq, 2003–2008

The UK’s interrogation operations during the conflict in Iraq (2003–2008) are often portrayed by the media as involving significant amounts of mistreatment. This article demonstrates that these practices are not necessarily representative of the UK’s interrogation operations across this conflict. In doing so it contributes to the limited literature on the practice of interrogation and on the UK’s combat operations in Iraq. The UK’s interrogation capability, and therefore its intelligence-gathering capability, is shown to have rested primarily with the military’s Joint Forward Interrogation Team (JFIT). The JFIT suffered from limitations to the number, training and experience of its interrogators and interpreters. It is argued that maintaining a permanent, higher level of preparedness for interrogation by the British armed forces is desirable.     

Remembering and forgetting Mirambo: Histories of war in modern Africa

ABSTRACT

While the study of organised violence is considered essential to understanding the history of the West, and accordingly imbued with various layers of meaning and remembrance, war is widely regarded as inimical to the modern nation in Africa and stable development more broadly. Using examples drawn from primarily from East Africa, this paper considers the ways in which warfare in the deeper (‘precolonial’) past has been framed and envisioned in recent decades, in particular by governments whose own roots lie in revolutionary armed struggle and who began life as guerrilla movements. While in some cases particular elements of the deeper past were indeed mobilised in pursuit of contemporary political goals, in many other scenarios histories of precolonial violence were beheld as problematic and unworthy of remembrance. This paper highlights the paradox and ambiguity which has attended the memory of key aspects of Africa’s deeper past.
