Output regulation of two-time-scale hyperbolic PDE systems

This paper addresses the output regulation of flow systems described by a class of two-time-scale nonlinear PDE systems. Within the framework of singular perturbation, the reduced-order slow model comprised of first-order PDEs coupled with ODEs is obtained. Based on the numerical approximation technique and the solvability of an inertial manifold, the finite-dimensional nonlinear model with nonlinear input is developed in this paper. Extending from the geometric control method, the non-distributed nonlinear controller can be synthesized. A combination of the state-space internal model control scheme, the reduced observer-based controller can asymptotically attenuate the effect of external disturbances. Finally, the developed methodologies are successfully applied to the development of a PFR system asscociated with the cooling coil apparatus.     

Advanced networking services for distributed multimedia streaming applications

Increased network speeds coupled with new services delivered via the Internet have increased the demand for intelligence and flexibility in network systems. This paper argues that both can be provided by new hardware platforms comprised of heterogeneous multi-core systems with specialized communication support. We present and evaluate an experimental network service platform that uses an emergent class of devices—network processors—as its communication support, coupled via a dedicated interconnect to a host processor acting as a computational core. A software infrastructure spanning both enables the dynamic creation of application-specific services on the network processor, mediated by middleware and controlled by kernel-level communication support. Experimental evaluations use a Pentium IV-based computational core coupled with an IXP 2400 network processor. The sample application services run on both include an image manipulation application and application-level multicasting.

How causal knowledge simplifies decision-making

Making decisions can be hard, but it can also be facilitated. Simple heuristics are fast and frugal but nevertheless fairly accurate decision rules that people can use to compensate for their limitations in computational capacity, time, and knowledge when they make decisions [Gigerenzer, G., Todd, P. M., & the ABC Research Group (1999). Simple Heuristics That Make Us Smart. New York: Oxford University Press.]. These heuristics are effective to the extent that they can exploit the structure of information in the environment in which they operate. Specifically, they require knowledge about the predictive value of probabilistic cues. However, it is often difficult to keep track of all the available cues in the environment and how they relate to any relevant criterion. This problem becomes even more critical if compound cues are considered. We submit that knowledge about the causal structure of the environment helps decision makers focus on a manageable subset of cues, thus effectively reducing the potential computational complexity inherent in even relatively simple decision-making tasks. We review experimental evidence that tested this hypothesis and report the results of a simulation study. We conclude that causal knowledge can act as a meta-cue for identifying highly valid cues, either individual or compound, and helps in the estimation of their validities.

Using Similarity Analyses to Scale Out Research Findings Across Andean Watershed Basins

Abstract

Strategic research in agriculture and natural resources carried out by international research centers is deemed a public good and should, sooner or later, be put into the hands of development, governmental and non-governmental organizations. However, this research is usually done at specific pilot sites; there is a greater need to know how representative those sites are in relation to the diversity of contexts in other locations. Such is the case with the Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF), a global initiative in water research promoted by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), which is developing and implementing strategic research in nine basins located in the tropics of Africa, Asia and South America. Given that resources are not available to collect data from the whole of the region, pilot sites are needed. It is hoped that research outputs obtained in the selected pilot sites can be the basis for scaling out solutions to similar situations in neighbouring or adjacent areas in same or different basins.

In order to contribute to the scaling-out process, different classification methodologies were applied to determine how specific watershed basins are representative of larger areas. The Andean eco-region served as a case study but the methods can easily be applied in other regions. The spatial diversity of biophysical and social conditions across the Andes requires careful site selection. Two methods, a combination of Weight of Evidence (WofE) and Logistic Regression (LR) methods and Fast Cluster analysis, were used to determine the similarity of selected sites with those excluded. A 1-km study resolution covering most of the Andes eco-region included annual rainfall, elevation, length of growing period, land cover, roads and population density as the key variables. Results showed complementarities between the two methods in presenting a probability surface of similarity across the Andes and a clustering of similar sites inside and outside the pilot basins. The output information forms a strong basis for devising plans to scale out research findings from the pilot basins to the whole region.

Seamless handover supported by parallel polling and dynamic multicast group in connected WLAN micro-cells system

WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) has been seen to be one of the promising access technologies that adapts to 4G cellular network systems in providing very high speed connection with QoS guarantee through the polling function. However, when the handover happens, the contention-based medium access mechanism which is mainly used in WLAN is invoked and introduces unbounded transmission delay due to idle time periods and retransmission because of collision during the handover. If this technique is expanded to use in a microcellular network such as connected WLAN micro-cells, contention-based mechanism, therefore, should not be used to handle the MT’s handover, especially for vehicular users who change access point every few seconds. To overcome these difficulties in handover, we introduce parallel polling scheme in dynamic LMC (Logical Macro Cell) which can reduce delays much and remove packet loss rate. LMC is a virtual single macro cell which is built on a multicast group of adjacent micro-cells. In the same LMC, polling signals are sent from every BS (base station) to give MT (mobile terminal) permission to access one of these BSs. Instead of wasting much time to contend for resources of a new BS during handover, the MT answers the polling as an acknowledgment to connect to that new BS. The polling response is controlled to multicast to all BSs of the same LMC via the core network to synchronize for the next polling cycle. LMC is controlled to dynamically change when the MT comes in a new BS to make polling signals be continuous in a new LMC. Through analytical and simulation results, we show that the parallel polling scheme can achieve no handover latency, no packet loss and maintain mobile users’ throughput stably in the high traffic load condition though it causes overhead on the neighboring cells in both of wired and wireless sections. At speeds of up to70 m/s, the MT can still maintain its stable connection. OMNeT++ simulator with INET project is used to evaluate our proposal.
