基于QoE感知的星地一体化网络公平资源分配策略

星地一体化网络是卫星网络和地面网络互联，实现卫星网络和地面网络优势互补的一体化网络。随着无线通信的快速发展，卫星网络和地面网络的同频复用技术可有效提升资源利用效率，满足日益增长的无线数据业务需求。但由于无线数据业务类型的多样化和频谱资源的稀缺性，如何实现用户数据服务的服务体验质量（Quality of experience， QoE）和公平性提升也成为星地一体化网络亟待解决的关键问题。本文综合考虑信道时变性、服务体验多样性和服务公平性，提出了一种基于QoE感知的星地一体化网络资源分配策略。为此，将目标问题描述为基于时间平均的服务体验质量的网络公平效用最大化，并利用李雅普诺夫优化理论，将复杂的动态原始优化问题进一步转化并分解为3个瞬时优化子问题，每个子问题可以在每个时隙独立求解。同时，由于无线资源分配为典型的非凹混合组合优化问题，推导了一个低复杂度的两步算法来求解第三个资源分配子问题。仿真结果揭示了在不同的公平性参数下用户的长时QoE与公平性之间的折衷情况。

Finally, a vision of the plant of the future is illustrated with critical components of AI-ready culture, model life cycle management, and renewed role of humans in chemical manufacturing.     

An automated treatment planning strategy for highly noncoplanar radiotherapy arc trajectories

Radiation therapy is a technology-driven cancer treatment modality that has experienced significant advances over the last decades, due to multidisciplinary contributions that include engineering and computing. Recent technological developments allow the use of noncoplanar volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), one of the most recent photon treatment techniques, in clinical practice. In this work, an automated noncoplanar arc trajectory optimization framework designed in two modular phases is presented. First, a noncoplanar beam angle optimization algorithm is used to obtain a set of noncoplanar irradiation directions. Then, anchored in these directions, an optimization strategy is proposed to compute an optimal arc trajectory. The computational experiments considered a pool of twelve difficult head-and-neck tumor cases. It was possible to observe that, for some of these cases, the optimized noncoplanar arc trajectories led to significant treatment planning quality improvements, when compared with coplanar VMAT treatment plans. Although these experiments were done in a research environment treatment planning software (matRad), the conclusions can be of interest for a clinical setting: automated procedures can simplify the current treatment workflow, produce high-quality treatment plans, making better use of human resources and allowing for unbiased comparisons between different treatment techniques.

为了提高转炉炼钢的终点命中率，建立了一种新的转炉终点预测模型，实现了对转炉终点碳质量分数和温度的准确预测。模型采用K最近邻孪生支持向量机(KNNWTSVR)算法，将权重矩阵引入到目标函数中，并利用鲸群优化算法进行求解，提高了传统算法的性能；然后基于某炼钢厂260 t转炉的实际生产数据，建立了转炉炼钢终点预测模型。结果表明，预测模型的终点碳质量分数(误差±0.005%)和温度(误差±15 ℃)的终点单命中率分别为94%和88%，双命中率达到84%。与其他两种现有的建模方法相比，本模型取得了最优的预测效果。该方法满足转炉炼钢实际生产的需求，也可适用于钢铁冶金其他领域的数学建模。

针对城际列车开行方案没有有效匹配城市轨道交通运能的问题，提出一种考虑区域协调性的城际列车开行方案优化方法。首先，以旅客出行费用最小和铁路运输效益最大为优化目标，考虑城际列车载客能力、出发地目的地（Original Destination，OD）客流需求和通过能力等约束；然后，在此基础上增加运能匹配度的限制，构建了考虑区域协调性的城际列车开行方案多目标非线性规划模型，并设计改进的模拟退火算法求解模型；最后，以广深城际铁路为例并进行两组对比分析。实验结果表明:考虑区域协调性的列车开行方案可以使旅客出行总广义费用降低约4.06%，铁路部门的效益提高约9.58%，旅客和铁路的系统总成本降低约23.27%；与遗传算法相比，改进的模拟退火算法在求解质量与收敛速度上均有较大提高。所提模型和算法可充分兼顾旅客和铁路双方利益，能够为城际列车开行方案优化问题提供有效解决方法。     

基于k-shell的复杂网络最短路径近似算法

复杂网络最短路径经典算法的处理效率较低，不适用于大规模复杂网络，而现有近似算法通用性有限，且计算准确率不理想，不能满足规模日益扩大的复杂网络中的最短路径计算需求。针对于此，提出基于[k]-shell的复杂网络最短路径近似算法。算法利用节点的[k]-shell值进行网络划分并引导搜索路径，利用超点聚合处理[k]-shell子网来降低路径搜索中节点和连边的规模，通过在路径搜索过程使用双向搜索树方法提高算法的计算效率和准确率。实验结果表明，算法通用性较好，在现实与仿真大规模复杂网络中均具有较高的计算效率和准确率。
