Wireless sensor networks are characterized by multihop network. Some nodes in network are required to forward a disproportionately high amount of traffic and die early, leaving the unmonitored areas in network and leading to the problem of energy hole. This paper investigates a variety of strategies to avoid the energy hole, such as communication power control, data aggregation, nonuniform energy distribution, mobile node auxiliary and clustering. The analysis and comparison of different strategies are given and the advantages and disadvantage of them are discussed in this paper.

Modern power grid is a typical multi-level complex giant system. The conventional analytical methods based on reductionism can't provide sufficient guidance for its operation and management. complex system theory, based on holism, has its specific advantages in power grid's research. But, it has some limitations. In this article, we improve complex grid by introducing new parameters which can describe the grid's characters better and using multi-agent theory. As an application, the complex power grid constructed with actual data from North China grid is constructed and its vulnerability has been simulated and analyzed under different attacks.

Due to FPGA's flexibility and parallelism, it is popular for accelerating image processing. In this paper, a double-parallel architecture based on FPGA has been exploited to speed up median filter and edge detection tasks, which are essential steps during image processing. The double-parallel scheme includes an image-level parallel and an operation-level parallel. The image-level parallel is a high-level parallel which divides one image into different parts and processes them concurrently. The operation-level parallel, which is embedded in each image-level parallel thread, fully explores every parallel part inside the concrete algorithms. The corresponding design is based on a DE2 Development Board which contains a CYCLONE II FPGA device. Meanwhile, the same task has also been implemented on PC and DSP for performance comparison. Despite the fact that operating frequencies of used PC and DSP are much higher than FPGA's, FPGA costs less time per computed image than both of them. By taking advantage of the double-parallel technique, the speed/frequency ratio of FPGA is 202 times faster than PC and 147 times faster than DSP. Finally, a detailed discussion about different platforms is conducted, which analyzes advantages and disadvantages of used computing platforms. This paper reveals that the proposed double-parallel scheme can dramatically speed up image processing methods even on a low-cost FPGA platform with low frequency and limited resources, which is very meaningful for practical applications.

As an efficient business process execution language which supports web services, BPEL4WS is widely supported by the academic and the industrial circles. According to the shortcomings such as number of computer terms, abstract model definition and the complex description of people activity, this paper presents easy-to-use BPEL4WS modeling method and tool which encapsulates computer terms and convert business models to BPEL4WS models directly. In comparison to the other modeling methods, our method cut down the number of modeling elements by more than 85 percent and save the modeling time by 80 percent and accelerate model running by more than 40 percent. Thus it is more appropriate for popularization.

The ACP (Artificial societies, Computational experiments and Parallel execution) approach has provided us an opportunity to look into new methods in addressing transportation problems from new perspectives. In this paper, we present our works and results of applying ACP approach in modeling and analyzing transportation system, especially carrying out computational experiments based on artificial transportation systems. Two aspects in the modeling process are analyzed. The first is growing artificial transportation system from bottom up using agent-based technologies. The second is modeling environment impacts in simple-is-consistent principle. Finally, two computational experiments are carried out on one specific ATS, Jinan ATS, and numerical results are presented to illustrate the applications of our method.

Traffic congestion leads to problems like delays, decreasing flow rate, and higher fuel consumption. Consequently, keeping traffic moving as efficiently as possible is not only important to economy but also important to environment. Traffic system is a large complex nonlinear stochastic system. Traditional mathematical methods have some limitations when they are applied in traffic control. Thus, computational intelligence (CI) technologies gain more and more attentions. Neural Networks (NNs) is a well developed CI technology with lots of promising applications in traffic signal control (TSC). In this paper, a neural network (NN) based signal controller is designed to control the traffic lights in an urban traffic road network. Scenarios of simulation are conducted under a microscopic traffic simulation software. Several criterions are collected. Results demonstrate that through online reinforcement training the controllers obtain better control effects than the widely used pre-time and actuated methods under various traffic conditions.

With the advantage of simulating the details of a transportation system, the “microsimulation” of a traffic system has long been a hot topic in the intelligent Transportation systems (ITS) research. The Cellular Automata (CA) and the Multi-Agent System (MAS) modeling are two typical methods for the traffic microsimulation. However, the computing burden for the microsimulation and the optimization based on it is usually very heavy. In recent years the Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have been applied successfully in many areas for parallel computing. Compared with the traditional CPU cluster, GPU has an obvious advantage of low cost of hardware and electricity consumption. In this paper we build an MAS model for a road network of four signalized intersections and we use a Genetic Algorithm (GA) to optimize the traffic signal timing with the objective of maximizing the number of the vehicles leaving the network in a given period of time. Both the simulation and the optimization are accelerated by GPU and a speedup by a factor of 195 is obtained. In the future we will extend the work to large scale road networks.

This paper presents a generic video vehicle detection approach through multiple background-based features and statistical learning. The main idea is to configure several virtual loops (as detection zones) on the image, assuming moving vehicles may cause pixel intensities and local texture to change, and then by identifying such pixel changes to detect vehicles. In this research, multiple pattern classifiers including LDA + Adaboost, SVM, and Random Forests are used to detect vehicles that are passing through virtual loops. We extract fourteen pattern features (related to foreground area, texture change, and luminance and contrast in the local virtual loop zone and the global image) to train pattern classifiers and then detect vehicles. As experimental results illustrate, the proposed approach is quite robust to detect vehicles under complex dynamic environments, and thus is able to improve the accuracy of traffic data collection in all weather for long term.
