Theory of one-tape linear-time Turing machines

A theory of one-tape two-way one-head off-line linear-time Turing machines is essentially different from its polynomial-time counterpart since these machines are closely related to finite state automata. This paper discusses structural-complexity issues of one-tape Turing machines of various types (deterministic, nondeterministic, reversible, alternating, probabilistic, counting, and quantum Turing machines) that halt in linear time, where the running time of a machine is defined as the length of any longest computation path. We explore structural properties of one-tape linear-time Turing machines and clarify how the machines’ resources affect their computational patterns and power.     

A DFO technique to calibrate queueing models

A crucial step in the modeling of a system is to determine the values of the parameters to use in the model. In this paper we assume that we have a set of measurements collected from an operational system, and that an appropriate model of the system (e.g., based on queueing theory) has been developed. Not infrequently proper values for certain parameters of this model may be difficult to estimate from available data (because the corresponding parameters have unclear physical meaning or because they cannot be directly obtained from available measurements, etc.). Hence, we need a technique to determine the missing parameter values, i.e., to calibrate the model.As an alternative to unscalable “brute force” technique, we propose to view model calibration as a non-linear optimization problem with constraints. The resulting method is conceptually simple and easy to implement. Our contribution is twofold. First, we propose improved definitions of the “objective function” to quantify the “distance” between performance indices produced by the model and the values obtained from measurements. Second, we develop a customized derivative-free optimization (DFO) technique whose original feature is the ability to allow temporary constraint violations. This technique allows us to solve this optimization problem accurately, thereby providing the “right” parameter values. We illustrate our method using two simple real-life case studies.     

An integrated approach for rating engineering characteristics’ final importance in product-service system development

Product-service system (PSS) approach has emerged as a competitive strategy to impel manufacturers to offer a set of product and services as a whole. A three-domain PSS conceptual design framework based on quality function deployment (QFD) is proposed in this research. QFD is a widely used design tool considering customer requirements (CRs). Since both product and services influence satisfaction of customer, they should be designed simultaneously. Identification of the critical parameters in these domains plays an important role. Engineering characteristics (ECs) in the functional domain include product-related ECs (P-ECs) and service-related ECs (S-ECs). ECs are identified by translating customer requirements (CRs) in the customer domain. Rating ECs’ importance has a great impact on achieving an optimal PSS planning. The rating problem should consider not only the requirements of customer, but also the requirements of manufacturer. From the requirements of customer, the analytic network process (ANP) approach is integrated in QFD to determine the initial importance weights of ECs considering the complex dependency relationships between and within CRs, P-ECs and S-ECs. In order to deal with the vagueness, uncertainty and diversity in decision-making, the fuzzy set theory and group decision-making technique are used in the super-matrix approach of ANP. From the requirements of manufacturer, the data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach is applied to adjust the initial weights of ECs taking into account business competition and implementation difficulty. A case study is carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed integrated approach for prioritizing ECs in PSS conceptual design.     

Polynomial based scheme (PBS) for establishing Authentic Associations in Wireless Mesh Networks

The varying degree of mobility of Mesh Clients has provided much more flexibility in Wireless Mesh Networks, and establishing an Authentic Association among entities is a non-trivial problem. In this paper, we introduce a Polynomial Based scheme which provides pair-wise connectivity, low communication, marginal storage overhead and high scalability while making on the fly Authentic Association feasible. The proposed scheme is also observed to be resilient against both traffic analysis and node capture attacks.     

Inference for Weibull distribution under generalized order statistics

Based on generalized order statistics from Weibull distribution the approach of Bayesian and non-Bayesian estimation are discussed. We present a simple and efficient simulational algorithm for generating a generalized order statistics sample from any continuous distribution. Specializations to Bayesian and non-Bayesian estimators, some lifetime parameters and confidence intervals of progressive II censoring and record values are obtained and compared with the existing results. Two examples are given to illustrate the proposed estimators and the simulation algorithm.     

Integrating customer's preferences in the QFD planning process using a combined benchmarking and imprecise goal programming model

Quality function deployment (QFD) is a customer-oriented design tool for developing new or improved products to achieve higher customer satisfaction by integrating various functions of an organization. The engineering characteristics (ECs) affecting the product performances are designed to match the customer attributes (CAs). However, from the viewpoint of the QFD team, product design processes are performed in imprecise environments, and more than one factor must be taken into account in determining the target levels of ECs, especially the limited resources and increased market competition. This paper presents an imprecise goal programming (GP) approach to determine the optimum target levels of ECs in QFD for maximizing customer satisfaction under resource limitation and considerations of market competition. Based on benchmarking data of CAs, the concept of satisfaction functions is utilized to formulate explicitly the customer's preferences and to integrate the competitive analysis of target market into the modelling and solution process. In addition, the relationships linking CAs and ECs and the ECs to each other are integrated by functional relationships. The proposed approach will be illustrated through a car door design example.

基于带偏好自适应评价的公交线路选择问题研究

在智能交通系统中公汽线路选择是一个重要的问题。该文首先利用公汽的行驶线路进行深度优先搜索．得到从开始站点到结束站点所有可能的乘车线路。然后分别考虑乘车时间Time和乘车价格Price来评价这些乘车线路优劣,最终得到题目要求的最佳线路。为了能够综合考虑Time和Price,通过引入用户期望度p,提出了一种带偏好的自适应评价函数来对基于Time和Price的评价方法进行进一步的改进,这个带偏好的自适应评价函数合理表达了查询者的主观意向、乘车线路差异,从而可以满足不同查询者的不同需求。最后通过仿真实验对该文方法进行了有效性验证。
