Insurgency by the numbers I: A reconsideration of the ecology of communist success in jiangxi province,China

Theorizing about Taliban operations in Afghanistan has its limits and it is possible that Kabul-centric strategies do not adequately address the unique circumstances of each region in the country. How exactly has the Taliban gone about attaining its objectives in Kandahar province and how have those approaches evolved since 2002? And how have the Taliban adapted to coalition forces' attempts to compete with the insurgency and stamp it out? The answers to these questions are critical in the formulation of any counterinsurgency approach to Afghanistan.     

军事任务推演的时空模型与驱动机制

针对军事信息系统的作战任务推演需求,提出了一种基于时空事件序列的、较为完备的高效任务推演方法。论述了基于层次化分解的任务表达机制与实体化策略;针对保障数据定制问题提出了面向任务的时空数据应用模型,以任务最小需求为准则对一体化时空数据集进行多维筛选,有效降低数据的冗余度;详细讨论了时空事件序列模型的定义及其在军事任务推演中的数据驱动模式;结合具体仿真实例进行了应用探讨。原型系统的实现证明了该思路的有效性和可行性。     

指挥信息系统信息域一体化能力指标体系

一体化能力是指挥信息系统充分发挥作用的必要保证,也是满足信息化战争要求的有效途径.根据一体化联合作战对指挥信息系统的新需求,将指挥信息系统信息域一体化能力划分为全域获取、无缝传输、协同处理以及信息共享4种能力.采用指标分析法构建了系统信息域一体化能力的指标体系,并利用数学建模理论,对每个指标进行了定性或定量的研究.通过系统工程的相关理论和方法,提出了系统信息域一体化能力的评估流程.     

多源验前信息下基于证据理论的ML-Ⅱ融合方法

在复杂新型产品的可靠性评估中,试验的样本量通常较小,而Bayes方法在小样本统计推断中比经典统计方法更为适用.针对可靠性工程中遇到的验前信息的多源性问题,给出了一种基于证据理论的ML-Ⅱ融合方法.在融合过程中考虑了信息源的可信性,减小了可信度低的信息源对评估结果的影响.以电子产品为例,算例实验表明了该方法在有“干扰信息源”存在的情况下的评估结果的有效性和合理性.     

基于改进证据理论的多传感器目标识别

由于证据理论融合冲突信息会得出不合理的结论,限制了其在目标识别中的应用.为解决这一问题,提出了一种改进融合方法.研究各证据与其他证据的联系,通过计算证据与其他证据均值的距离,求出此证据受其他证据的支持度.归一化支持度获得证据权值,加权平均原有证据后按Dempster规则融合,作出识别.针对空中目标识别算例,对比验证几种方法,结果显示:该方法能够融合冲突信息,在降低计算量的同时,加快收敛速度,提高了识别快速性和准确性.     

ANN-FRIFS在多传感器信息融合故障诊断中的应用

对于多传感器故障诊断系统,必须根据环境的变化和传感器的状态等合理地运用各传感器的信息。文中设计了一种基于经验规则和模糊推理功能的ANFIS置信度判别器,此判别器能自适应地对各传感器数据综合判别,得到它们相应的故障置信度,进而对多传感器的信息进行融合,提高了诊断的准确度。     

A produce‐to‐stock system with advance demand information and secondary customers

We consider a manufacturer (i.e., a capacitated supplier) that produces to stock and has two classes of customers. The primary customer places orders at regular intervals of time for a random quantity, while the secondary customers request a single item at random times. At a predetermined time the manufacturer receives advance demand information regarding the order size of the primary customer. If the manufacturer is not able to fill the primary customer's demand, there is a penalty. On the other hand, serving the secondary customers results in additional profit; however, the manufacturer can refuse to serve the secondary customers in order to reserve inventory for the primary customer. We characterize the manufacturer's optimal production and stock reservation policies that maximize the manufacturer's discounted profit and the average profit per unit time. We show that these policies are threshold‐type policies, and these thresholds are monotone with respect to the primary customer's order size. Using a numerical study we provide insights into how the value of information is affected by the relative demand size of the primary and secondary customers. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Collaboration in contingent capacities with information asymmetry

We study the optimal contracting problem between two firms collaborating on capacity investment with information asymmetry. Without a contract, system efficiency is lost due to the profit‐margin differentials among the firms, demand uncertainty, and information asymmetry. With information asymmetry, we demonstrate that the optimal capacity level is characterized by a newsvendor formula with an upward‐adjusted capacity investment cost, and no first‐best solution can be achieved. Our analysis shows that system efficiency can always be improved by the optimal contract and the improvement in system efficience is due to two factors. While the optimal contract may bring the system's capacity level closer to the first‐best capacity level, it prevents the higher‐margin firm from overinvesting and aligns the capacity‐investment decisions of the two firms. Our analysis of a special case demonstrates that, under some circumstances, both firms can benefit from the principal having better information about the agent's costs. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
