基于入度调整的结构化P2P网络拥塞控制算法

针对结构化对等网络中存在的由查询负载不均衡所导致的拥塞问题,提出一种基于动态入度调整的拥塞控制算法。算法根据节点查询负载的情况,动态判定出可能存在的热点,并将热点周围的节点组织起来,通过调整每个节点入连接的数量对负载进行调整。为了克服节点处理能力的异构性,算法将热点组中的节点进一步划分为多个能力组,并在能力组内和组间分别进行调整。模拟结果表明,该算法在处理突发流量的过程中可以有效地减少查询失败的次数,降低拥塞产生的影响。     

一种基于触发机制的轮转算法

在负载平衡技术中,必须使用合适的算法进行成员选择,以决定由哪个副本对象处理到来的客户请求。传统轮转负载平衡算法只能在某些特定条件下平衡负载。针对该缺点,结合普通轮转算法和加权算法的优点,提出一种基于触发机制的轮转算法。实验结果表明,该算法能感知后段资源。

Virtual rights? Property in online game objects and characters

The new industry of Massively Multi-Player Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) brings together two sets of fictions: the interactive stories of shared computer games and the legal devices of intellectual property. In these virtual worlds, scarcity need not exist, but players tend to prefer the competition it creates. This leads to the development of property rights within the game world and players trading real money for virtual objects, ‘land’ and characters. This new phenomenon brings with it familiar legal problems such as theft, fraud and ownership disputes. Game creators also challenge the right of the players to claim ownership outside the game world. The volume and value of the items traded make real money trading an important area of current interest for intellectual property lawyers. Something is being traded, but does it fit neatly into existing conceptions of property rights and who owns it? Analysing the novel problems that result from various theoretical perspectives (utilitarianism, labour-desert theory and personality theory) leads to the conclusion that with time, we will see the development of property rights for players in online games. This connects with a growing understanding that the traditional conception of copyright law dealing with creative work generated by the solitary author is becoming less appropriate in the new creative spaces that information and communications technology brings, where individuals are both consumer and producer. In virtual worlds, new forms of intellectual property, and perhaps even new rights, are taking shape.     

Note on “Unrelated parallel-machine scheduling with deteriorating maintenance activities”

In this note, we prove that both problems studied by Cheng et al. [Cheng, T. C. E., Hsu, C.-J., & Yang, D.-L. (2011). Unrelated parallel-machine scheduling with deteriorating maintenance activities. Computers and Industrial Engineering, 60, 602–605] can be solved in O(n^m+3) time no matter what the processing time of a job after a maintenance activity is greater or less than its processing time before the maintenance activity, where m is the number of machines and n is the number of jobs.     

RESEARCH ON HUMAN FACTORS IN ROAD TRANSPORT

The paper attempts to list the most important fields in which research on human factors in road transport is required.

The importance of improving the efficiency of road transport is emphasized, and the figures for road casualties are quoted to demonstrate the need to study the behaviour of cyclists, motor-cyclists and pedestrians as well as motorists.

The problems on which research is required are grouped under the six headings of perception, communication of information, control of the vehicle, comfort, protection of occupants, and behaviour of drivers. Subjects regarded as of particular interest are (1) the communication of information to the driver, (2) the design of the vehicle to improve control by the driver, (3) crash injury protection for the motorist and for the motor-cyclist, and (4) the study of the driving task.
