针对无线传感网络中高效路由协议的设计问题,基于传感器节点的剩余能量提出一种分时分簇的改进LEACH算法。算法通过分时分簇方式,有效克服了传统LEACH算法中簇首数目不稳定的缺陷,且不会额外增加网络的能耗,使得簇首在整个网络中的分布以及网络的能量消耗更加均衡,有效延长了传感器网络的正常工作时间。仿真实验验证了改进算法的有效性。     

无线传感网络中基于Dijkstra算法的分簇路由

无线传感网络（Wireless Sensor Networks,WSNs）的网络寿命与节点的能耗直接相关。分簇路由是缓解节点能耗速度的有效措施。但是若分簇路由所选择的簇头位置以及数据传输路径的不合理,会加剧节点能量消耗,缩短网络寿命。为此,提出一种基于Dijkstra算法的分簇路由（Clustering Routing-based Dijkstra,CRBD）。CRBD路由先利用节点的剩余能量及离汇聚节点距离信息选择部分节点作为簇头,并禁止拥塞节点担任簇头。利用贪婪启发式算法构建簇。利用Dijkstra算法构建簇头间的最短路径,缓解簇头的能量消耗。仿真结果表明,相比于基于改进萤火虫聚类的能效路由（Energy Efficient Routing based on Improved Firefly Clustering,EIFC）,CRBD路由中节点的平均能耗下降了约12.3%,并且CRBD路由的数据包传递率保持在85%以上。     

一种能量均衡的战场无线传感器网络路由协议算法

针对战场无线传感器网络中节点能量消耗不均衡以及节点剩余能量问题,提出了一种基于能量均衡的战场无线传感器网络LEACH路由协议的改进算法,该算法主要是对传感器网络中的簇群内节点的剩余能量,以及其传输数据的链路长度这两个方面的权重问题进行了改进,使传感器网络的能量消耗趋于平衡,通过MATLAB平台对改进后的EBLRP协议与LEACH协议进行了模拟仿真,结果表明,新的路由协议能够使网络的生命周期延长13%左右,并且使节点的能量消耗情况有所缓解。

基于禁忌算法的无线传感器网络PEGASIS算法改进

为了减少无线传感器网络节点能耗,延长网络生存时间,在PEGASIS算法的基础上,针对PEGASIS算法中节点之间容易产生长链和簇头选择没有考虑节点剩余能量的问题,提出了一种基于禁忌算法的PEGASIS算法改进。建链阶段采用禁忌算法代替原有的贪婪算法,防止了长链的产生,减小了节点传输距离;同时引入基于剩余能量的簇头选择机制,均衡了节点之间的能耗,延长了节点的生存时间。仿真结果表明,改进算法较PEGASIS算法第1个节点的死亡时间延长了约7倍,半数节点的死亡时间也得到了延长,从而提高了整个网络的生存时间。

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.     

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).     

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.     

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.     

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.     

Country survey XVI the defence sector in the economy of a declining superpower: Soviet Union and Russia, 1965-2001

The Soviet Union was able to develop a large military-industrial complex and become the world's second superpower despite deficiencies in its centrally planned economy because defence was given high priority status and special planning, rationing and administrative mechanisms were used to attain national security objectives. However, in the period 1976-85 the effectiveness of priority protection diminished and defence institutions experienced more of the problems typical of the shortage economic system. The heavy defence burden also created growing difficulties for the civilian economy. The attempts by the Gorbachev government to reform the defence sector and improve defence-economic relationships during perestroika (1985-91) uniformly failed. For most of the transition period, the Russian military-industrial complex has been adversely affected by its low priority status, cuts in defence spending, instability of the hybrid politico-economic system, and negative growth of the economy. The armed forces and defence industry have been reduced in size and their outputs of military services and equipment have fallen to low levels. Nevertheless, the Russian armed forces still have over one million troops, significant stocks of sophisticated conventional weapons, and a large nuclear arsenal. The government of President Putin has raised the priority of the defence sector, increased real defence spending, and adopted ambitious plans to revive Russian military power. It is likely, though, that tight resource constraints will hamper efforts to reform the armed forces and to upgrade weapons. By 2010 Russia will be an important, but not dominant, military power in Eurasia.     

Traffickers,terrorists, and a ‘new security challenge’: Russian counternarcotics strategy and the Federal Service for the Control of the Drugs Trade

The collapse of the Soviet Union precipitated the massive expansion of drug use and trade in Russia. The country now has one of the largest populations of injecting drug users in the world and has become the largest single-country market for Afghan heroin. In 2003 the Federal Service for the Control of the Drugs Trade was created to coordinate a comprehensive counternarcotics strategy appropriate to the scale of this threat. The service continues to face a number of challenges in its early stages of development. However, it has made considerable advances in improving responses to large-scale organised crime and in building international cooperation.
