Joint routing and location-based service in VANETs

Geographic routing protocols use location information when they need to route packets. In the meantime, location information are maintained by location-based services provided by network nodes in a distributed manner. Routing and location services are very related but are used separately. Therefore, the overhead of the location-based service is not considered when we evaluate the geographic routing overhead. Our aim is to combine routing protocols with location-based services in order to reduce communication establishment latency and routing overhead.     

Multi-tier service differentiation by coordinated learning-based resource provisioning and admission control

Multiple Internet applications are often hosted in one datacenter, sharing underlying virtualized server resources. It is important to provide differentiated treatment to co-hosted applications and to improve overall system performance by efficient use of shared resources. Challenges arise due to multi-tier service architecture, virtualized server infrastructure, and highly dynamic and bursty workloads. We propose a coordinated admission control and adaptive resource provisioning approach for multi-tier service differentiation and performance improvement in a shared virtualized platform. We develop new model-independent reinforcement learning based techniques for virtual machine (VM) auto-configuration and session based admission control. Adaptive VM auto-configuration provides proportional service differentiation between co-located applications and improves application response time simultaneously. Admission control improves session throughput of the applications and minimizes resource wastage due to aborted sessions. A shared reward actualizes coordination between the two learning modules. For system agility and scalability, we integrate the reinforcement learning approach with cascade neural networks. We have implemented the integrated approach in a virtualized blade server system hosting RUBiS benchmark applications. Experimental results demonstrate that the new approach meets differentiation targets accurately and achieves performance improvement of applications at the same time. It reacts to dynamic and bursty workloads in an agile and scalable manner.     

Self-scaling cooperative discovery of service compositions in unstructured P2P networks

We propose an efficient technique for improving the performance of automatic and cooperative compositions in unstructured Peer-to-Peer networks during service discovery. The technique exploits a probabilistic forwarding algorithm that uses different sources of knowledge, such as network density and service grouping, to reduce the amount of messages exchanged in the network. The technique, analysed in several network configurations by using a simulator to observe resolution time, recall and message overhead, presents good performance especially in dense and large-scale service networks.     

Impacts of Nile Perch,Lates niloticus,introduction on the ecology,economy and conservation of Lake Victoria,East Africa

Nile perch were secretly introduced into Lake Victoria in the 1950s, and officially in the 1960s, amid unresolved controversy. Proponents were of the view that the introduction would improve fisheries production and sport fishing. Although the former objective was achieved, the side effects were dire, including extinction of many native species, especially the ecologically important haplochromines, because of predation. The introduction also changed the habitat, trophic dynamics and water clarity. The change in water clarity is thought to be responsible for hybridization of haplochromines, further contributing to the loss of species diversity among cichlids. The establishment and expansion of the Nile perch also altered the fishery and socio‐economic settings characterizing the lake. A local economy which, until the early 1980s, was based on native fish species has been replaced by an export‐oriented exotic fish processing industry that destroyed the once‐cherished traditional resource. Other socio‐economic issues associated with Nile perch include the high HIV/AIDS prevalence among fishers, and border conflicts attributable to the migratory and transboundary nature of the fishery resource. Conservation measures for the fishery should include establishment of co‐management units that have so far registered both successes and challenges. Other efforts include establishment of the Nile perch Fisheries Management Plans that focus on curbing overfishing and eradicating illegal fishing.

基于经纬网格的递增KNN位置隐私保护查询算法

为了在使用基于位置的服务时用户的位置信息不被不可信的位置服务提供商所泄漏,k-匿名位置隐私保护已被广泛研究.然而在集中匿名器被黑客控制时原k-匿名算法会泄漏所有用户的位置隐私,在进行k个最近邻目标查询时对网络的负载较重,而SpaceTwist算法又不能保证k-匿名.提出了一种基于经纬网格的递增KNN位置隐私保护查询算法,将经典的k-匿名算法与SpaceTwist算法相杂交,并引入经纬网格代替原来精确的位置上报给集中匿名器,从而解决了上述问题.实验证明基于经纬网格的递增KNN查询算法比较节省从集中匿名器到位置服务提供商的服务器之间的网络流量.

Web服务质量建模及其正确性验证

针对现有的Web服务质量模型主要考虑的都是通用的服务质量属性,没有考虑特定的Web服务属性在评价中的作用,提出了一个新的Web服务质量模型,它引入了一个特定领域的服务质量属性,该模型包括三个子模型。模型中建立了相关的服务质量树和目标对象树,通过量化指标子模型对目标对象进行量化,形成相应的服务权重树。该模型既可适应用于单个的Web服务请求,也可以用于多个服务组合而成的请求。通过一个应用实例验证了模型的正确性和可用性。     

JSP嵌套SQL Server Reporting Services报表

针对传统物流行业报表的制作、呈现、管理都是由报表业务人员进行操作,不能及时的将报表呈现的数据信息反馈给决策者,导致信息的延误。通过对JSP以及SQL Server Reporting Service（SSRS）的分析介绍,提出把SSRS报表嵌套在JSP中,加入到网络物流系统操作平台。基于SQL Server 2008 R2数据库以及Spring MVC框架,运用Spring注解方式与JSP技术进行系统开发,直接将SSRS报表嵌套在JSP页面供决策者分析。结果表明,JSP页面可以嵌套带有参数要求的SSRS报表,并且可以准确的读取操作SSRS报表,获得满意的嵌套效果。
