Ad Hoc中具有实时意识的按需距离矢量协议

针对现存的Ad Hoc网络路由协议普遍存在延时较大,不能满足实时应用的传输需求的缺陷,在AODV协议的基础上,提出了一种具有实时意识的Ad Hoc按需距离矢量路由协议RAODV,并通过仿真实验在不同的网络状态下对RAODV与AODV的性能进行了对比。实验结果表明：在常规网络负载的情况下,RAODV可以获得和AODV同等水平的分组投递率,而数据分组的平均端到端延时和路由负荷则相对较低;在网络负载比较大的情况下,两种协议的性能都有所下降,但相对于AODV来说,RAODV的性能下降幅度要小很多,并且可以获得更高的分组投递率,更低的数据分组平均端到端延时和路由负荷。

在分析Ad hoc网络中的经典路由协议AODV的基础上,结合无线网状网的特点,提出了基于链路加权的无线网状网路由协议MODVWLS.协议通过节点的可用带宽、缓冲队列和吞吐性能等计算每一跳的代价(即权重),选择从信源到信宿累计权重最小的路径作为路由.对链路权重计算、报文格式、路由发现和维护过程进行了详细阐述,并利用NS2对MODVWLS协议进行了仿真实现.结果表明,MODVWLS协议能合理利用空闲节点和链路资源,较好地均衡网络负载,在数据包转发率、端到端延迟和标准化路由负载等性能上均优于AODV协议.     

基于Ad Hoc网络的多机器人通信协议改进

Ad Hoc自组网解决了多机器人系统中网络拓扑结构动态变化和数据报文多跳转发的通信问题,决定节点能耗、最优路由和网络信息延迟等网络性能,是多机器人系统网络常用的通信方式。其中AODV协议能较好的在Ad Hoc自组网中适用,但由于多机器人系统中网络拓扑动态变化,传统的AODV协议的网络节点负载情况以及选择路由的准确性方面存在着一定缺陷。在AODV协议基础上,采用负载均衡算法的方式,对路由代价进行优化,以便更好的解决网络节点不均衡、出现拥塞时选路不准确的问题,更好的实现均衡节点能耗、优化路由以及减少网络信息延迟的目标。以NS2为网络仿真平台进行仿真,并对结果进行分析得,与AODV协议相比,改进之后的路由协议的提高了分组投递率、降低了平均端到端时延以及相对路由开销。

Only connect: teaching, technology and telesis

Abstract This paper describes an approach to the design of interactive multimedia materials being developed in a European Community project. The developmental process is seen as a dialogue between technologists and teachers. This dialogue is often problematic because of the differences in training, experience and culture between them. Conditions needed for fruitful dialogue are described and the generic model for learning design used in the project is explained.     

European Community policy and the market

Abstract This paper starts with some reflections on the policy considerations and priorities which are shaping European Commission (EC) research programmes. Then it attempts to position the current projects which seek to capitalise on information and communications technologies for learning in relation to these priorities and the apparent realities of the marketplace. It concludes that while there are grounds to be optimistic about the contribution EC programmes can make to the efficiency and standard of education and training, they are still too technology driven.

Avoiding semantic and temporal gaps in developing software intensive systems

Development of software intensive systems (systems) in practice involves a series of self-contained phases for the lifecycle of a system. Semantic and temporal gaps, which occur among phases and among developer disciplines within and across phases, hinder the ongoing development of a system because of the interdependencies among phases and among disciplines. Such gaps are magnified among systems that are developed at different times by different development teams, which may limit reuse of artifacts of systems development and interoperability among the systems. This article discusses such gaps and a systems development process for avoiding them.     

Designing economic np control charts: A programmed simulation approach

This paper presents control charts models and the necessary simulation software for the location of economic values of the control parameters. The simulation program is written in FORTRAN, requires only 10K of main storage, and can run on most mini and micro computers. Two models are presented - one describes the process when it is operating at full capacity and the other when the process is operating under capacity. The models allow the product quality to deteriorate to a further level before an existing out-of-control state is detected, and they can also be used in situations where no prior knowledge exists of the out-of-control causes and the resulting proportion defectives.     

The development of robot art

Going through a few examples of robot artists who are recognized worldwide, we try to analyze the deepest meaning of what is called “robot art” and the related art field definition. We also try to highlight its well-marked borders, such as kinetic sculptures, kinetic art, cyber art, and cyberpunk. A brief excursion into the importance of the context, the message, and its semiotics is also provided, case by case, together with a few hints on the history of this discipline in the light of an artistic perspective. Therefore, the aim of this article is to try to summarize the main characteristics that might classify robot art as a unique and innovative discipline, and to track down some of the principles by which a robotic artifact can or cannot be considered an art piece in terms of social, cultural, and strictly artistic interest. This work was presented in part at the 13th International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January 31–February 2, 2008     

Explanation and prediction: an architecture for default and abductive reasoning

Although there are many arguments that logic is an appropriate tool for artificial intelligence, there has been a perceived problem with the monotonicity of classical logic. This paper elaborates on the idea that reasoning should be viewed as theory formation where logic tells us the consequences of our assumptions. The two activities of predicting what is expected to be true and explaining observations are considered in a simple theory formation framework. Properties of each activity are discussed, along with a number of proposals as to what should be predicted or accepted as reasonable explanations. An architecture is proposed to combine explanation and prediction into one coherent framework. Algorithms used to implement the system as well as examples from a running implementation are given.     

View-based model-driven architecture for enhancing maintainability of data access services

In modern service-oriented architectures, database access is done by a special type of services, the so-called data access services (DAS). Though, particularly in data-intensive applications, using and developing DAS are very common today, the link between the DAS and their implementation, e.g. a layer of data access objects (DAOs) encapsulating the database queries, still is not sufficiently elaborated, yet. As a result, as the number of DAS grows, finding the desired DAS for reuse and/or associated documentation can become an impossible task. In this paper we focus on bridging this gap between the DAS and their implementation by presenting a view-based, model-driven data access architecture (VMDA) managing models of the DAS, DAOs and database queries in a queryable manner. Our models support tailored views of different stakeholders and are scalable with all types of DAS implementations. In this paper we show that our view-based and model driven architecture approach can enhance software development productivity and maintainability by improving DAS documentation. Moreover, our VMDA opens a wide range of applications such as evaluating DAS usage for DAS performance optimization. Furthermore, we provide tool support and illustrate the applicability of our VMDA in a large-scale case study. Finally, we quantitatively prove that our approach performs with acceptable response times.     

A pragmatic multi-method investigation of discrepant technological events: Coping,attributions, and ‘accidental’ learning

Discrepant technological events or situations that entail a problem, a misunderstanding or a difficulty with the Information Technology (IT) being employed, are common in the workplace, and can lead to frustration and avoidance behaviors. Little is known, however, about how individuals cope with these events. This paper examines these events by using a multi-method pragmatic approach informed by coping theory. The results of two studies – a critical incident study and an experiment – serve to build and test, respectively, a theoretical model that posits that individuals use a variety of strategies when dealing with these events: they experience negative emotions, make external attributions, and adopt engagement coping strategies directed at solving the event, eventually switching to a disengagement coping strategy when they feel they have no control over the situation. Furthermore, users’ efforts may result in ‘accidental’ learning as they try to overcome the discrepant IT events through engagement coping. The paper ends with a discussion of the results in light of existing literature, future opportunities for research, and implications for practice.
