However, LNs with complex structures are more vulnerable to disruptions due to natural disasters and accidents. To address the LN post-disruption response strategy optimization problem, this study proposes a novel two-stage stochastic programming model with robust delivery time constraints. The proposed model jointly optimizes the new-line-opening and rerouting decisions in the face of uncertain transport demands and transportation times. To enhance the robustness of the response strategy obtained, the conditional value at risk (CVaR) criterion is utilized to reduce the operational risk, and robust constraints based on the scenario-based uncertainty sets are proposed to guarantee the delivery time requirement. An equivalent tractable mixed-integer linear programming reformulation is further derived by linearizing the CVaR objective function and dualizing the infinite number of robust constraints into finite ones. A case study based on the practical operations of the JD LN is conducted to validate the practical significance of the proposed model. A comparison with the rerouting strategy and two benchmark models demonstrates the superiority of the proposed model in terms of operational cost, delivery time, and loading rate.展开更多

Considering the complex of the environment, or the nonlinear interaction of the environment and species, we put up two new cost functions:c(u,z)=c 0+c 1u+k(z+az 2)u,u>0;c(u,z)=c 0+c 1u+kz du,u>0,d>0. In the first case, if the environment is adverse to species ( a >0), the region of low stress which is more suitable for the intolerant species is very small, and at the same environment stress z , the tolerant species will pay the more cost than it will paid in the normal environment. However the tolerant species will pay more cost but low strategies in the environment of a <0 than that it will paid in the environment of a =0 or a >0. In the second case, the results showed that the greater the stress of the environment is, or the more complex the environment is, the lower cost the intolerant species will pay in the region of z <1. In order to exist or to evolve from an environment of high stress, the organisms must possess a higher u , or a better means of mitigating of the stress of environment. Meanwhile in the region d >1, when d decrease, the intolerant species will pays more lower cost of exploiting a habitat in the low stress environment while the tolerant one will pays more lower cost in the high stress environment. This means that scale d describes the selection character of the species system in the evolution process, the smaller the d(d <1) is, the better the selection or the mitigation the system will possesses.展开更多

Some specific response strategies for specific response goals are presented as well. The relevant knowledge of the planning, and a classification of response tasks are proposed. The intrusion response planning methods and models based on hierarchical task network (HTN) are described in detail. On this basis, the model of combining the response measure decision-making with the response time decision-making is expounded. The proposed model can integrate response strategy into response decision-making mechanism. In addition, the results of the intrusion response experiments are provided to verify the ability of using different response strategies to achieve different response goals. At last, the application needs of response strategy in network security are analyzed, and the approaches of the response strategy applied in in- trusion response system are summarized.展开更多
