Multimedia applications are expected to guarantee end-to-end quality of service (QoS) and are characterized by stringent constraints on delay, delay-jitter, bandwidth, cost, and so forth. The authors observe that Kruskal’s algorithm is limited to minimal (maximal) spanning unconstrained tree. As such, the authors extend Kruskal’s algorithm to incorporate the delay bound constraint. Consequently, a novel algorithm is proposed, called EKRUS (Extended Kruskal), for constructing multicast trees. The EKRUS’ distinguishing features consists of a better management of Kruskal’s priority queues, and in the provision of edge priority aggregation. Preliminary results show that the proposed EKRUS algorithm performs as well as the best-known algorithms (such as the DDMC, DMCTc algorithms) while exhibiting reduced complexity. The authors conducted an intensive analysis and evaluations of different strategies of assigning edges into the classes of the queue as well as edge selection. As a result, the EKRUS algorithm was further extended with different edge assignment and selection strategies. Through extensive simulations, the authors have evaluated various versions of the EKRUS and analyzed their performance under different load conditions.

Remote sensing platforms have become an effective data acquisition tool for digital agriculture. Imaging sensors onboard unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and tractors are providing unprecedented high-geometric-resolution data for several crop phenotyping activities (e.g., canopy cover estimation, plant localization, and flowering date identification). Among potential products, orthophotos play an important role in agricultural management. Traditional orthophoto generation strategies suffer from several artifacts (e.g., double mapping, excessive pixilation, and seamline distortions). The above problems are more pronounced when dealing with mid- to late-season imagery, which is often used for establishing flowering date (e.g., tassel and panicle detection for maize and sorghum crops, respectively). In response to these challenges, this paper introduces new strategies for generating orthophotos that are conducive to the straightforward detection of tassels and panicles. The orthophoto generation strategies are valid for both frame and push-broom imaging systems. The target function of these strategies is striking a balance between the improved visual appearance of tassels/panicles and their geolocation accuracy. The new strategies are based on generating a smooth digital surface model (DSM) that maintains the geolocation quality along the plant rows while reducing double mapping and pixilation artifacts. Moreover, seamline control strategies are applied to avoid having seamline distortions at locations where the tassels and panicles are expected. The quality of generated orthophotos is evaluated through visual inspection as well as quantitative assessment of the degree of similarity between the generated orthophotos and original images. Several experimental results from both UAV and ground platforms show that the proposed strategies do improve the visual quality of derived orthophotos while maintaining the geolocation accuracy at tassel/panicle locations.

AbstractLogistics providers have to utilize available capacities efficiently in order to cope with increasing competition and desired quality of service. One possibility to reduce idle capacity is to build coalitions with other players on the market. While the willingness to enter such coalitions does exist in the logistics industry, the success of collaborations strongly depends on mutual trust and behavior of participants. Hence, a proper mechanism design, where carriers do not have incentives to deviate from jointly established rules, is needed. We propose to use a combinatorial auction system, for which several properties are already well researched but little is known about the auction’s first phase, where carriers have to decide on the set of requests offered to the auction. Profitable selection strategies, aiming at maximization of total collaboration gains, do exist. However, the impact on individual outcomes, if one or more players deviate from jointly agreed selection rules is yet to be researched. We analyze whether participants in an auction-based transport collaboration face a Prisoners’ Dilemma. While it is possible to construct such a setting, our computational study reveals that carriers do not profit from declining the cooperative strategy. This is an important and insightful finding, since it further strengthens the practical applicability of auction-based trading mechanisms in collaborative transportation.

Multicast routing technology of Ad hoc network is a method of transferring specific data to a group of clients selectively; therefore, quality of the services is the key to evaluate the method. After the analysis of energy model and other routing algorithms ,an energy model and a balanced energy network multicast routing algorithm EBAMRA have been proposed in this article,. Experiments had been done, the simulation results show that this algorithm is feasible and effective, which provides a new and effective way of Ad hoc multicast routing technology.

A HIP multicast mode; based dynamic multicast routing algorithm (HIPDMR) was brought out and network model was established to describe and simplify problem to be researched. HIPDMR used Bellman-Ford as routing search algorithm, which can determine dynamic multicast routing with minimum hop number and overhead while meet constraints of bandwidth, delay, jitter and packet loss rate. Simulation experiments result show that HIPDMR can build dynamic multicast routing under constraints of multiple QoS comparing with algorithms that not considering QoS assuming network node output link capacity be equal

Multicast routing is the problem of finding the spanning tree of a set of destinations whose roots are the source node and its leaves are the set of destination nodes by optimizing a set of quality of service parameters and satisfying a set of transmission constraints. This article proposes a new hybrid multicast algorithm called Hybrid Multi-objective Multicast Algorithm (HMMA) based on the Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (SPEA) to evaluate and classify the population in dominated solutions and non-dominated solutions. Dominated solutions are evolved by the Bat Algorithm, and non-dominated solutions are evolved by the Firefly Algorithm. Old and weak solutions are replaced by new random solutions by a process of mutation. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is able to find good Pareto optimal solutions compared to other algorithms.
