ACTIF: une aide à la conception de systèmes de transports interopérables en france

This article introducesActif the French its framework architecture :

– for readers already in the its domain, it will give a global and prospective view on this project and light on the “stakeholders” role with respect to ITS deployment ;

– for the newcomers, it shall introduce the issues of interoperability and information exchange between systems, and help understand how theActif approach may be similar to the systems engineering approach they are familiar with in their domain.

     

Un environnement de conception de systèmes distribués basé sur UML

This paper introduces a new environment for developing distributed systems. It is based on theTurtle uml profile. Analysis and design phases, described in previous papers, have been extended with an additional deployment phase. In this new step,Turtle components are deployed over hardware execution nodes, and nodes are connected together throughout links,Turtle deployment diagrams are given a formal semantics inRt-lotos, therefore following the approach used forTurtle analysis and design diagrams. Moreover, the paper presents a Java code generator which outputs appropriate Java code forTurtle deployment diagrams. This code is automatically deployable on networks because it implements node communication using network protocols such asUdp orRmi. ttool, the turtle toolkit has been extended to support these new diagrams and code generators. The attack of protected data exchanged throughout securedHttp sessions serves as example.     

Synthèse sur la réduction conjointe de bruit et d’écho pour lés systèmes mains-libres

In the context of modern telecommunications, hands-free systems allow to talk in a more natural way, without handling a telephone. This leads to new problems which were negligible in classical telephony: the superposition of energetic noise and echo on the speech signal. To solve these problems and to provide a sufficient speech quality, a joint reduction of these perturbations is needed. This paper presents a synthesis of solutions retained to achieve this reduction in the context of mono-channel and two-channel observations.     

Conception des systèmes de protection des réseaux d’énergie à basse tension contre les impulsions électromagnétiques à haute altitude et la foudre

An exoatmospheric nuclear burst creates, by interactions photonsmatters, an electromagnetic field (electromagnetic pulse- Emp ). Its coupling with links,particularly overhead power ac supply lines of ground stations, induced a parasitic electrical pulse fast and intense, susceptible to perturb, damage or destroy down stream electrical or electronic equipments. Otherwise, the lightning can also generates, on the same links, electrical pulses with some différents characteristics. After a quick recall of the problem and specifications, the design methodology of protective devices against this pulse created by nemp and lightning, for ac power lines, is given. This method implement computed aided design (cad)and specific experimental ways. The protection efficiency is evaluated and validated, exemples of achievements described.     

Amélioration des performances des systèmes à haut débit par une méthode de réduction de la diaphonie dans les câbles multiconducteurs de télécommunications

dsl (Digital Subscriber Line) technology provides low cost access to the consumers and sources of information for any one subscribing to classical analogical telephony. Indeed xdsl services enable high-speed digital transmission on conventional telephone lines. For sixteen years that the internet has risen, a great number of offers proposing increasing bit rate have been developed. Considering this increasing demand of high bit rate access, telecommunication operators perpetually work on finding solutions to optimize the copper lines channel. In that way, we present here a new method of crosstalk reduction in a multiconductor telecommunication cable. Interests and limitations of this method are presented and some simulations on a frequency band extending to 30 MHz will picture those theoretical results.     

Conception et performances d’un système de stockage vidéo distribué et tolérant aux pannes

We describe the design and the implementation of the CFS (Cluster File System) storage system which is dedicated to video streams. Our goal is to provide a system with the following features: 1) High number of supported steams at low cost. 2) Transparent management with respect to the clients. 3) Reliability regarding data storage and service continuity. The CFS is implemented on a cluster of PCS connected with a high speed internal network. Its management is fully distributed among the cluster nodes so that there is no central component. Data is stored and retrieved among the cluster nodes using a « StreamingRaid strategy », to enhance reliability; We experimentally measured the CFS performance in terms of number of supported clients. We also evaluated the cost of the fault tolerance strategy.     

Potentialités des séquences d’étalement chaotiques pour l’amélioration duTEEB d’un systèmeDS-CDMA asynchrone

The use of chaotic sequences as spectral spreading sequences in a Direct Sequence-Code Division Multiple Access is proposed in this paper. The simulation of the system is performed with the system simulator Omnisys. The chaotic spreading sequences are generated from a non-linear recursive equation. The Bit Error Rate of this system is compared with theBER of the same system using binary Gold sequences. The results show that chaotic sequences can improve performances in terms of allowable number of users.     

Présentation d’une technique 3D d’accélération de la recherche de rayons application aux télécommunications microcellulaires

Development of telecommunications using mobile phones requires the installation of many base stations (BTS) in order to cover the large number of cells which make up the network. Existing systems (GSM, DSC) use carrier frequencies within the microwave range. Ideally, operators should have simulation software to determine the position of BTS. This software would be used initially to determine the geometric configuration of the cells. The next step would be to optimise the radiation pattern of each BTS antenna. In this article we present a method for determining radioelectric coverage based on image theory adapted to the problem, which is more accurate and less time-consuming than conventional methods.     

Démarche de conception d’une plate-forme monopuce de réception de radiodiffusion numérique DRM

The newdrm standard for digital radio broadcast in theam band requires integrated devices for radio receivers at low cost and very low power. A chipset has been developed based on anarm9 dual-core architecture. This paper introduces the application itself, and then presents the development process followed to design such a chip covering the hardware/software partitioning, the architecture definition and all the validation issues. Therf part that partially drives the baseband is also briefly presented. The legal aspects are also investigated. Then as a conclusion, this paper presents the next steps of this development and the methodological gap in the system on chip design process.
