DEMO: Simulation of Realistic Mobility Model and Implementation of 802.11p (DSRC) for Vehicular Networks (VANET)
An ad hoc network of vehicles (VANET) consists of vehicles that exchange
information via radio in order to improve road safety, traffic management and
do better distribution of traffic load in time and space. Along with this it
allows Internet access for passengers and users of vehicles. A significant
characteristic while studying VANETs is the requirement of having a mobility
model that gives aspects of real vehicular traffic. These scenarios play an
important role in performance of VANETs. In our paper we have demonstration and
description of generating realistic mobility model using various tools such as
eWorld, OpenStreetMap, SUMO and TraNS. Generated mobility scenario is added to
NS-2.34 (Network Simulator) for analysis of DSR and AODV routing protocol under
802.11p (DSRC/WAVE) and 802.11a. Results after analysis shows 802.11p is more
suitable than 802.11a for VANET.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures, International Journal of Computer Applicatio
Simulation of Mixed Critical In-vehicular Networks
Future automotive applications ranging from advanced driver assistance to
autonomous driving will largely increase demands on in-vehicular networks. Data
flows of high bandwidth or low latency requirements, but in particular many
additional communication relations will introduce a new level of complexity to
the in-car communication system. It is expected that future communication
backbones which interconnect sensors and actuators with ECU in cars will be
built on Ethernet technologies. However, signalling from different application
domains demands for network services of tailored attributes, including
real-time transmission protocols as defined in the TSN Ethernet extensions.
These QoS constraints will increase network complexity even further.
Event-based simulation is a key technology to master the challenges of an
in-car network design. This chapter introduces the domain-specific aspects and
simulation models for in-vehicular networks and presents an overview of the
car-centric network design process. Starting from a domain specific description
language, we cover the corresponding simulation models with their workflows and
apply our approach to a related case study for an in-car network of a premium

Vehicle Navigation Service Based on Real-Time Traffic Information
GNSS-assisted vehicle navigation services are nowadays very common in most of the developed countries. However, most of those services are either delivered through proprietary technologies, or fall short in flexibility because of the limited capability to couple road information with real-time traffic information. This paper presents the motivations and a brief summary of a vehicle navigation service based on real-time traffic information, delivered through an open protocol that is currently under standardization in the Open Mobile Alliance forum

Integration, management and communication of heterogeneous design resources with WWW technologies
Recently, advanced information technologies have opened new pos-sibilities for collaborative designs. In this paper, a Web-based collaborative de-sign environment is proposed, where heterogeneous design applications can be integrated with a common interface, managed dynamically for publishing and searching, and communicated with each other for integrated multi-objective de-sign. The CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) is employed as an implementation tool to enable integration and communication of design application programs; and the XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is used as a common data descriptive language for data exchange between heterogeneous applications and for resource description and recording. This paper also intro-duces the implementation of the system and the encapsulating issues of existing legacy applications. At last, an example of gear design based on the system is il-lustrated to identify the methods and procedure developed by this research
Applying OGC sensor web enablement to ocean observing systems
The complexity of marine installations
for ocean observing systems has grown significantly in
recent years. In a network consisting of tens, hundreds
or thousands of marine instruments, manual
configuration and integration becomes very
challenging. Simplifying the integration process in
existing or newly established observing systems would
benefit system operators and is important for the
broader application of different sensors. This article
presents an approach for the automatic configuration
and integration of sensors into an interoperable
Sensor Web infrastructure. First, the sensor
communication model, based on OGC's SensorML
standard, is utilized. It serves as a generic driver
mechanism since it enables the declarative and
detailed description of a sensor's protocol. Finally, we
present a data acquisition architecture based on the
OGC PUCK protocol that enables storage and
retrieval of the SensorML document from the sensor
itself, and automatic integration of sensors into an
interoperable Sensor Web infrastructure. Our
approach adopts Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) as
alternative serialization form of XML or JSON. It
solves the bandwidth problem of XML and JSON.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
Multi Agent Systems in Logistics: A Literature and State-of-the-art Review
Based on a literature survey, we aim to answer our main question: “How should we plan and execute logistics in supply chains that aim to meet today’s requirements, and how can we support such planning and execution using IT?†Today’s requirements in supply chains include inter-organizational collaboration and more responsive and tailored supply to meet specific demand. Enterprise systems fall short in meeting these requirements The focus of planning and execution systems should move towards an inter-enterprise and event-driven mode. Inter-organizational systems may support planning going from supporting information exchange and henceforth enable synchronized planning within the organizations towards the capability to do network planning based on available information throughout the network. We provide a framework for planning systems, constituting a rich landscape of possible configurations, where the centralized and fully decentralized approaches are two extremes. We define and discuss agent based systems and in particular multi agent systems (MAS). We emphasize the issue of the role of MAS coordination architectures, and then explain that transportation is, next to production, an important domain in which MAS can and actually are applied. However, implementation is not widespread and some implementation issues are explored. In this manner, we conclude that planning problems in transportation have characteristics that comply with the specific capabilities of agent systems. In particular, these systems are capable to deal with inter-organizational and event-driven planning settings, hence meeting today’s requirements in supply chain planning and execution.supply chain;MAS;multi agent systems
