An optimal critical level policy for inventory systems with two demand classes

Traditional inventory systems treat all demands of a given item equally. This approach is optimal if the penalty costs of all customers are the same, but it is not optimal if the penalty costs are different for different customer classes. Then, demands of customers with high penalty costs must be filled before demands of customers with low penalty costs. A commonly used inventory policy for dealing with demands with different penalty costs is the critical level inventory policy. Under this policy demands with low penalty costs are filled as long as inventory is above a certain critical level. If the inventory reaches the critical level, only demands with high penalty costs are filled and demands with low penalty costs are backordered. In this article, we consider a critical level policy for a periodic review inventory system with two demand classes. Because traditional approaches cannot be used to find the optimal parameters of the policy, we use a multidimensional Markov chain to model the inventory system. We use a sample path approach to prove several properties of this inventory system. Although the cost function is not convex, we can build on these properties to develop an optimization approach that finds the optimal solution. We also present some numerical results. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2008     

Optimal sensor placement for underwater threat detection

The optimization framework for optimal sensor placement for underwater threat detection has been developed. It considers single‐period and multiperiod detection models, each of which includes two components: detection algorithm and optimization problem for sensor placement. The detection algorithms for single‐period and multiperiod models are based on likelihood ratio and sequential testing, respectively. For the both models, the optimization problems use the principle of superadditive coverage, which is closely related to energy‐based and information‐based approaches. An algorithm for quasi‐regular sensor placement approximating solutions to the optimization problems has been developed based on corresponding continuous relaxations and a criterion for its applicability has been obtained. Numerical experiments have demonstrated that the algorithm consistently outperforms existing optimization techniques for optimal sensor placement.© 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

多传感器任务分派的快速启发式规划新算法

在多目标多传感器管理中经常采用的线性规划算法中,随着传感器个数和目标个数的增加,计算量会爆炸式增长,使得跟踪系统不能实时计算,为此,根据传感器管理中线性规划的特点,提出了一种快速启发式算法,考虑组合中的传感器个数将组合的分配效用转化为权重,递推分配权重最大的组合,逐步减小组合和目标的个数.证明了权重最大的组合分派能实现组合中的传感器的最大效用.仿真结果表明该算法在与采用线性规划方法的跟踪精度相当的情况下,能有效地减小计算量.

一种开放式视频管理框架

对视频进行有效管理的依据是其“内容”。视频具有多模态性,其内容也具有层次性,可用三维模型来描述视频内容。据此,提出了一种开放式视频管理框架。在该框架中,视频中的各层内容与视频数据相对独立地存储与管理,用关联机制建立起视频数据与内容的联系。通过这种机制,能够形成视频数据与内容之间的多种逻辑描述,适用于对多种视频的管理,并且可以对视频进行“多模态查询”。     

一种基于PDA滤波的多传感器管理算法

由于传感器资源或计算资源的限制,监视系统在跟踪多目标时通常不能同时为每个目标分配所有的传感器.因此,希望在满足目标跟踪性能的前提下尽可能使用较少的传感器.针对PDAF目标跟踪算法的特点,选用目标状态估计协方差的期望作为性能度量,提出了一种基于协方差控制的传感器算法.该算法通过为每个目标选择恰当的传感器组合来实现多传感器对多目标的分配.
