With the rapid development of electricity production, SO2 from coal-fired power stations causes severe air pollution problem. In 1997, the SO2 emitted from thermal power plants reached 7.,0 Mt, accounting for about 33% of the national emissions. At present and in the future, th...

This paper is focused on developing a tracking controller for a hypersonic cruise vehicle using tangent linearization approach. The design of flight control systems for air-breathing hypersonic vehicles is a highly challenging task due to the unique characteristics of the vehicle dynamics. Motivated...

Optimization of adaptive traffic signal timing is one of the most complex problems in traffic control systems. This paper presents an adaptive transit signal priority (TSP) strategy that applies the parallel genetic algorithm (PGA) to optimize adaptive traffic signal control in the presence of TSP. ...

For the problem of large network load generated by the Gnutella resource-searching model in Peer to Peer (P2P) network, a improved model to decrease the network expense is proposed, which establishes a cluster in P2P network, auto-organizes logical layers, and applies a hybrid mechanism of direction...

Let G = (V, E) be a complete undirected graph with vertex set V, edge set E, and edge weights /(e) satisfying the triangle inequality. The vertex set V is partitioned into clusters V1, V2, …, Vk. The clustered traveling salesman problem (CTSP) seeks to ...
