A private versus a public space: Anonymity and buying decorative symbolic goods for avatars in a virtual world

The virtual world has become a new channel in which people can contact with others, and organizations can provide service to their customers. Selling symbolic virtual goods has also emerged as a new economy in the virtual world. Such symbolic goods cannot facilitate people to accomplish any specific tasks; people buy them simply to decorate their avatars. This study is based on the theories of symbolic consumption, self-presentation, and computer-mediated environment, to investigate why people buy decorative symbolic goods in the virtual world. The results show that people buy symbolic virtual goods for both emotional and social values. While user perceived social presence and telepresence affect both social and emotional value of symbolic goods, individual self-presentation motivation affects only social value. Besides, anonymous users in the virtual world show behaviors that differ with non-anonymous ones.     

Stabilization of quantized systems based on Kalman filter

This paper is concerned with the design and stability analysis of networked control systems with quantization effect and noisy measurement. Quantization strategy used here is a traditional uniform one, and Kalman filter is applied to obtain the estimated states. Under some assumptions and conditions, a sufficient condition is given for the closed-loop system to be stable based on Lyapunov theory and invariable set theory. Two examples are given to show the effectiveness of the main results.     

多核体系下的并行任务构建

基于多核体系下的系统运行效率越来越受到各行业的关注,一个系统往往是由若干软件子模块构成的.一个完整的系统可以由Tomcat,Httpd以及Lucene这3个软件模块构成.这些软件本身均进行了一定的优化,各自运行效率都良好,可是如果将它们整合成一个系统,其效率的提高仍需要从整体多方面考虑.从不同软件的子任务之间的关系入手,通过分析它们的特点,提出苦干提高整体性能的方案.研究贡献在于以下3个方面:1)线程间同步操作的消除;2)通过多任务重排提高并行度;3)系统调用的单线程化.结果表明系统整体性能得到了提高,同时,每个子任务完成的功能更加清晰明了.

Shift-full-rank matrices and applications in space-time trellis codes for relay networks with asynchronous cooperative diversity

To achieve full cooperative diversity in a relay network, most of the existing space-time coding schemes require the synchronization between terminals. A family of space-time trellis codes that achieve full cooperative diversity order without the assumption of synchronization has been recently proposed. The family is based on the stack construction by Hammons and El Gamal and its generalizations by Lu and Kumar. It has been shown that the construction of such a family is equivalent to the construction of binary matrices that have full row rank no matter how their rows are shifted, where a row corresponds to a terminal (or transmit antenna) and its length corresponds to the memory size of the trellis code on that terminal. We call such matrices as shift-full-rank (SFR) matrices. A family of SFR matrices has been also constructed, but the memory sizes of the corresponding space-time trellis codes (the number of columns of SFR matrices) grow exponentially in terms of the number of terminals (the number of rows of SFR matrices), which may cause a high decoding complexity when the number of terminals is not small. In this paper, we systematically study and construct SFR matrices of any sizes for any number of terminals. Furthermore, we construct shortest (square) SFR (SSFR) matrices that correspond to space-time trellis codes with the smallest memory sizes and asynchronous full cooperative diversity. We also present some simulation results to illustrate the performances of the space-time trellis codes associated with SFR matrices in asynchronous cooperative communications.
