Cooperative Mechanism of Supply Chain Under Asymmetric Information

Abstract: The cooperative mechanism is one main issue in the decentralized supply chain system, especially in an asym-metric information structure. We analyze the non-cooperative game behavior of a 2-echelon distribution supply chain,compare the results with the system optimal solution, and give the supplier dominated cooperative mechanisms. We alsoanalyze the validity of our contract under the asymmetric retailers' holding cost information and give some useful conclu-sions.     

A Target Recognition Approach to Projecting HRR Profiles onto Subspace

Abstract: A array of the azimuthally averaged range-profile vectors and the inter-class and intra-class divergence matrixesare constructed iwth many frames of the high resolution range profiles which result from radar echoes of airplanes. Takingthe methods of whitening transformation and SVD produces a system of subspace vectors for target recognition. Where-upon, a template library for target recognition is built by the projection of a class-mean vector made from the radar dataonto the subspace for recognition. By Euclidean distance, a comparison is made between the above projection and eachtemplate in the library, to decide which class the target belongs to. Finally, simulations with the experimental radar dataarte given to show that the proposed method is robust to variation in azimuth and immune to additive Gaussian noisewhen SNR≥5dB.     

An Evolutionary Real-Time 3D Route Planner for Aircraft

Abstract: A novel evolutionary route planner for aircraft is proposed in this paper. In the new planner, individual candi-dates are evaluated with respect to the workspace, thus the computation of the configuration space is not required. By usingproblem-specific chromosome structure and genetic operators, the routes are generated in real time, with different missionconstraints such as minimum route leg length and flying altitude, maximum turning angle, maximum climbing/diving an-gle and route distance constraint taken into account.     

Non-Minimum Phase Nonlinear System Predictive Control Based on Local Recurrent Neural Networks

Abstract: After a recursive multi-step-ahead predictor for nonlinear systems based on local recurrent neural networks isintroduced, an intelligent PID controller is adopted to correct the errors including identified model errors and accumulatederrors produced in the recursive process. Characterized by predictive control, this method can achieve a good controlaccuracy and has good robustness. A simulation study shows that this control algorithm is very effective.

Equivalent Time-Domain Representation and Uplink Channel Estimator for Multicarrier CDMA Systems

Many blind channel estimation methods have been proposed for direct sequence (DS) code-division multiple access (CDMA) systems, so we can certainly use them to estimate the finite impulse response (FIR) channel for the multi-carrier (MC-) CDMA system. In this paper, the MC-CDMA system is interpreted as an equivalent time-domain DS-CD-MA system with specific spreading codes. Then, an equivalently time-domain blind channel estimator is derived for the     

Performance Analysis of the Dynamic CSMA/CD Protocol in a Wireless Channel

In wireless networks, packet access is a popular mode, and the key problem is how to improve throughput and access delay performance, especially the throughput for wireless channels. These results will be a reference for not only a wireless channel but also a common MAC protocol.     

Face Recognition Based on Support Vector Machine and Nearest Neighbor Classifier

Support vector machine (SVM), as a novel approach in pattern recognition, has demonstrated a success in face detection and face recognition. In this paper, a face recognition approach based on the SVM classifier with the nearest neighbor classifier (NNC) is proposed. The principal component analysis (PCA) is used to reduce the dimension and extract features. Then one-against-all stratedy is used to train the SVM classifiers. At the testing stage, we propose an al-     

Dynamic Characteristics of Inter-Satellite Links in LEO Networks

To establish an efficient inter-satellite link (ISL) in an LEO network, the effect of geometric characteristics of ISL on the ISLs and the devices on the LEO satellite should be examined. Because of the continuous movement of the LEO satellite, the time-varying behaviours of the ISL's geometric charactersistics continuously change with the changes of the satellite's position on the orbit. These dynamic geometric characteristics of the ISLs are important for ISL's performance analyzing and the design of the devices on the LEO satellite. This paper describes dynamic geometric characteristics of ISL, analyzes the impact of these regulations on the tracking system of the satellite's antenna and the power adjusting system of the satellite's transmitter, with the Iridium system as an example.
