A data source model, called two states constant bit rate (TSCBR), was proposed in dynamic traffic monitoring sensor networks. Analysis of autocorrelation of the models shows that the proposed TSCBR model matches with the statistical characteristics of real data source closely. To further verify the validity of the TSCBR data source model, the performance metrics of power consumption and network lifetime was studied in the evaluation of sensor media access control (SMAC) algorithm. The simulation results show that compared with traditional data source models, TSCBR model can significantly improve accuracy of the algorithm evaluation.展开更多

In order to acquire the suppressor-grid current signal and avoid the grid being damaged by overheating, a data acquisition and over-current protection system based on the PXI(PCI e Xtensions for Instrumentation) platform has been developed.

This gives it the function of setting a threshold voltage remotely and locally, and the forbidden time of over-current protection also can be set by a host PC in remote mode. Experimental results demonstrate that the data acquisition and overcurrent protection system has the advantages of setting forbidden time and isolation transmission.展开更多

文摘The breakthrough developments in geospatial technologies and the increasing availability of spatial data make geoinformation a business and a decisional element to the management.Hence,it is important to have a management plan to factor in practical and feasible data sources,in building geo applications.The authors of this paper are motivated by the fact that right data sources could outclass in-house resources in various application scenarios.This paper outlines pragmatic cases for the tangible benefits of the existing potential data and expeditious patterns for digital earth.This work also proposes‘good-enough’solutions based on the pragmatic cases,available literature,and the 3D city model developed that could be sufficient in contriving the objectives of the common public usage and open business models.To demonstrate this approach,the paper encapsulated the low-cost development of virtual 3D city model using publicly available cadastral data and web services.

文摘The main function of Internet of Things is to collect and transmit data.At present,the data transmission in Internet of Things lacks effective trust attestation mechanism and trust traceability mechanism of data source.To solve the above problems,a trust attestation mechanism for sensing layer nodes is presented.First a trusted group is established,and the node which is going to join the group needs to attest its identity and key attributes to the higher level node.Then the dynamic trust measurement value of the node can be obtained by measuring the node data transmission behavior.Finally the node encapsulates the key attributes and trust measurement value to use short message group signature to attest its trust to the challenger.This mechanism can measure the data sending and receiving behaviors of sensing nodes and track the data source,and it does not expose the privacy information of nodes and the sensing nodes can be traced effectively.The trust measurement for sensing nodes and verification is applicable to Internet of Things and the simulation experiment shows the trust attestation mechanism is flexible,practical and efficient.Besides,it can accurately and quickly identify the malicious nodes at the same time.The impact on the system performance is negligible.

文摘The selection of suitable models and solutions is a fundamental requirement for con-ducting energy flow analysis in integrated energy systems(IES).However,this task is challenging due to the vast number of existing models and solutions,making it difficult to comprehensively compare scholars'studies with current work.In this paper,we aim to address this issue by presenting a comprehensive overview of mainstream IES models and clarifying their relationships,thereby providing guidance for scholars in selecting appro-priate models.Additionally,we introduce several widely used solvers for solving algebraic and differential equations,along with their detailed implementations in the energy flow analysis of IES.Furthermore,we conduct extensive testing and demonstration of these models and methods in various cases to establish benchmarking datasets.To facilitate reproducibility,verification and comparisons,we provide open‐source access to these datasets,including system data,analysis settings and implementations of the various solvers in the mainstream models.Scholars can utilise the provided datasets to reproduce the results,verify the findings and perform comparative analyses.Moreover,they have the flexibility to customise these settings according to their specific requirements.
