基于弱多径覆盖的虚电路恢复策略研究

虚电路技术可以为Ad Hoc网络中的节点提供面向连接的服务。然而,由于拓扑动态性等特征,Ad Hoc网络中的虚电路容易断开,从而导致业务时延、时延抖动增大甚至通信中断等问题。为此文章提出了一种基于弱多径覆盖的虚电路恢复策略,通过将虚电路机制与弱多径覆盖多径策略相结合,可以有效地减少虚电路恢复时间和需要重新预约资源的节点的数量。理论分析和仿真结果表明了该方法的有效性。     

PROTECTING CULTURAL MONUMENTS AGAINST TERRORISM

Famous cultural monuments are often regarded as unique icons, making them an attractive target for terrorists. Despite huge military and police outlays, terrorist attacks on important monuments can hardly be avoided. We argue that an effective strategy to discourage terrorist attacks on iconic monuments is for a government to show a firm commitment to swift reconstruction. Using a simple game‐theoretic model, we demonstrate how a credible claim to rebuild any destroyed cultural monument discourages terrorist attacks by altering the terrorists' expectations and by increasing the government's reputation costs if they fail to rebuild.     

Financial versus human resources in the Greek‐Turkish arms race: A forecasting investigation using artificial neural networks

This paper aims at forecasting the burden on the Greek economy resulting from the arms race against Turkey and at concentrating on the leading determinants of this burden. The military debt and the defence share of GDP are employed alternatively in order to approximate the measurement of the arms race pressure on Greece, and the method used is that of artificial neural networks. The use of a wide variety of explanatory variables in combination with the promising results derived, suggest that the impact on the Greek economy resulting from this arms race is determined, to a large, extent, by demographic factors which strongly favour the Turkish side. Prediction on both miltary debt and defence expenditure exhibited highly satisfactory accuracy, while the estimation of input significance, indicates that variables describing the Turkish side are often dominant over the corresponding Greek ones.     

无线传感器网络DV-Hop节点定位改进算法

针对无线传感器网络中距离无关类节点定位算法定位误差较大的问题,提出了一种改进型DV-Hop节点定位算法。通过设置待定位节点到信标节点间的最小跳数门限,降低了定位累积误差;改进了平均每跳距离估计方法,并利用信标节点测量的位置误差作为修正值,对每跳距离的估计值进行修正;待定位节点仅选取与之较近的信标节点计算位置,降低了距离误差。仿真结果显示,在信标节点比例和网络节点总数相同的条件下,改进算法性能明显优于DV-Hop算法。     

A componentwise index of service measurement in multi‐component systems

In this paper we present a componentwise delay measure for estimating and improving the expected delays experienced by customers in a multi‐component inventory/assembly system. We show that this measure is easily computed. Further, in an environment where the performance of each of the item delays could be improved with investment, we present a solution that aims to minimize this measure and, in effect, minimizes the average waiting time experienced by customers. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Return policy: Hassle‐free or your money‐back guarantee?

This article compares the profitability of two pervasively adopted return policies—money‐back guarantee and hassle‐free policies. In our model, a seller sells to consumers with heterogeneous valuations and hassle costs. Products are subject to quality risk, and product misfit can only be observed post‐purchase. While the hassle‐free policy is cost advantageous from the seller's viewpoint, a money‐back guarantee allows the seller to fine‐tune the consumer hassle on returning the product. Thus, when the two return policies lead to the same consumer behaviors, the hassle‐free policy dominates. Conversely, a money‐back guarantee can be more profitable even if on average, high‐valuation consumers experience a lower hassle cost than the low‐valuation ones. The optimal hassle cost can be higher when product quality gets improved; thus, it is not necessarily a perfect proxy or signal of the seller's quality. We further allow the seller to adopt a mixture of these policies, and identify the concrete operating regimes within which these return policies are optimal among more flexible policies. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

簇结构对无线传感器网络干扰及生命周期的影响

为降低网络干扰,延长生命周期,针对扇形环分簇的无线传感器网络,引入功率控制策略以改进传统的物理干扰模型和能耗模型。在此基础上,通过分析数据包产生过程,对网络干扰和生命周期进行计算。数值计算结果表明,网络中内外环宽度相差较小时,生命周期较长,但对干扰无影响;外环簇数应适当多于内环簇数;扇形环簇的数量增多时,网络干扰加剧,然而生命周期得到延长。研究结果为优化无线传感器网络中簇结构提供了依据。

低速率移动自组织网络安全路由协议

由于移动Ad Hoc网络具有无需基础设施,可以快速部署,很难完全被摧毁等优点,被作为数字化战场通信的优先选择,设计实现了一种适用于低速率移动Ad Hoc网络的安全路由协议——LSRP,它适用于分层架构的低速移动电台自组网,可以在网络资源有限的情况下,防御来自外部和内部两方面的攻击。LSRP协议利用分布式门限RSA签名方案来阻止非授权接入,防范来自网络外部的攻击;利用邻节点信任度评估机制,进行恶意节点检测和剪除,防范来自网络内部的攻击,增强了网络的安全性。     

Minimizing makespan on a single batch processing machine with nonidentical job sizes

We deal with the problem of minimizing makespan on a single batch processing machine. In this problem, each job has both processing time and size (capacity requirement). The batch processing machine can process a number of jobs simultaneously as long as the total size of these jobs being processed does not exceed the machine capacity. The processing time of a batch is just the processing time of the longest job in the batch. An approximation algorithm with worst‐case ratio 3/2 is given for the version where the processing times of large jobs (with sizes greater than 1/2) are not less than those of small jobs (with sizes not greater than 1/2). This result is the best possible unless P = NP. For the general case, we propose an approximation algorithm with worst‐case ratio 7/4. A number of heuristics by Uzosy are also analyzed and compared. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 48: 226–240, 2001
