In this environment, the active code authorized or trusted by privileged users is executed in the secure execution environment (EE) of the active router, while others are executed in the secure EE of the nodes in the distributed shared memory (DSM) cluster. With the supports of a multi-process Java virtual machine and KeyNote, untrusted active packets are controlled to securely consume resource. The DSM consistency management makes that active packets can be parallely processed in the DSM cluster as if they were processed one by one in ANTS (Active Network Transport System). We demonstrate that CSANE has good security and scalability, but imposing little changes on traditional routers.展开更多

For example, firewalls or bound- ary routers may drop packets sent by mobile nodes for security reasons. Traditional networking devices such as routers cannot dynamically load and unload extended services to achieve differ- ent qualities of services. In this paper, a new scheme of using the active network to support the mobile IP is presented. The Softnet, a prototype of active networks based on mobile agents, is introduced. The active network is characterized by the programmability of its intermediate nodes and therefore presents dynamic and flexible behaviors. Special services can be dynam- ically deployed onto the active nodes in the Softnet. This property is definitely required in implementing the mobile IP protocols. The Softnet supports not only the basic mobile IP pro- tocol but also other extended mobiIe IP protocols. Virtual networks for mobile IP services are dynamically formed by mobile agents in the Softnet to provide different qualities of services.展开更多

This review article provides a brief introduction to nanoscale and molecular networking in general and provides opinions on the role of active networking for in vivo nanoscale information transport. While there are many in vivo communication mechanisms that can be leveraged, for example, forms of cell signaling, gap junctions, calcium and ion signaling, and circulatory borne communication, this review examines two in particular： molecular motor transport and neuronal information communication. Molecular motors transport molecules representing information and neural coding operates by means of the action potential; these mechan- isms are reviewed within the theoretical framework of an active network. This review suggests that an active networking paradigm is necessary at the nanoscale along with a new communication constraint, namely, minimiz- ing the communication impact upon the living environment. The goal is to assemble efficient nanoscale and molecular communication channels while minimizing disruption to the host organism.展开更多

Thus it needs more resources than those required by conventional networks, andthese resources must be effectively monitored and managed. Management policies in existing OSs aretoo complicated to apply to simple active packets. In this paper, we present new resourcesmanagement policies that are mainly adoped to manage CPU, storage and transmission bandwidth.Namely, we use SPF algorithm to schedule and process active packets, and import an interval queuemethod to allocate transmission bandwidth, and use feedback mechanism to control congestion . At thesame time, we design some experiments on prototype systems with and without resources managementpolicies respectively. The experiments results show that management policies presented by us caneffectively manage resources in active nodes and can improve the performance of active networks.展开更多

文摘With the growing integration of renewable energy sources(RESs)and smart interconnected devices,conventional distribution networks have turned to active distribution networks(ADNs)with complex system model and power flow dynamics.The rapid fluctuation of RES power may easily result in frequent voltage violation issues.Taking the flexible RES reactive power as control variables,this paper proposes a two-layer control scheme with Koopman wide neural network(WNN)based model predictive control(MPC)method for optimal voltage regulation and network loss reduction.Based on Koopman operator theory,a data-driven WNN method is presented to fit a high-dimensional linear model of power flow.With the model,voltage and network loss sensitivities are computed analytically,and utilized for ADN partition and control model formulation.In the lower level,a dual-mode adaptive switching MPC strategy is put forward for optimal voltage control and network loss optimization in each individual partition to decide the RES reactive power.The upper level is to calculate the adjustment coefficients of the RES reactive power given in the low level by taking the coupling effects of different partitions into account,and then the final reactive power dispatches of RESs are obtained to realize optimal control of voltage and network loss.Simulation results on two ADNs demonstrate that the proposed strategy can reliably maintain the voltage at each node within the secure range,reduce network power losses,and enhance the overall system security and economic efficiency.

文摘In order to cope with the global environmental crisis caused by energy generation and achieve carbon neutrality,it is imperative to promote a new power system dominated by renewable energy sources(RESs).This paper focuses on the uncertainty of RESs and the distribution characteristics of carbon emission flows(CEFs),and studies the low-carbon operation and power system planning problem.Firstly,this paper extends the uncertainty of RES to the meteorological field and establishes meteorological robust constraints of photovoltaic(PV)generation.Based on the CEF theory,the carbon transmission trajectory is accurately delineated to improve the operation of power system.Considering further constraints from the power flow,CEF,and component operation characteristics of the active distribution network(ADN),this paper formulates a low-carbon joint planning model of ADN with PV,battery energy storage system(BESS),and distributed gas generator(DGG),taking into account economy and carbon reduction.In the case study,the low-carbon planning and operation scheme are analyzed in detail across multiple dimensions including time and space.The solution results show that the planning model can effectively leverage the low-carbon performance of PV and BESS,and improve the distribution of CEF.Through case comparison,the model can also efficiently reduce the total cost of the system and enhance carbon emission reduction benefits by 35.10 to 41.04%.

文摘The troposphere affects Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)signals due to the variability of the refractive index.Tropospheric delay is a function of the satellite elevation angle and the altitude of the GNSS receiver and depends on the atmospheric parameters.If the residual tropospheric delay is not modelled carefully a bias error will occur in the vertical component.In order to analyse the precise altimetric positioning based on a local active network,four scenarios in Southern Spain with different topographical,environmental,and meteorological conditions are presented,considering both favourable and non-favourable conditions.The use of surface meteorological observations allows us to take into account the tropospheric conditions instead of a standard atmosphere,but introduces a residual tropospheric bias which reduces the accuracy of precise GNSS positioning.Thus,with short observation times it is recommended not to estimate troposphere parameters,but to use an a priori model together with the standard atmosphere.The results confirm that it is possible to achieve centimetre-scale vertical accuracy and precision with real time kinematic positioning even with large elevation differences with respect to the nearest reference stations.These numerical results may be taken into consideration for improving the altimetric configuration of the local active network.
文摘Active network management(ANM)of electricity distribution networks include many complex stochastic sequential optimization problems.These problems need to be solved for integrating renewable energies and distributed storage into future electrical grids.In this work,we introduce Gym-ANM,a framework for designing reinforcement learning(RL)environments that model ANM tasks in electricity distribution networks.These environments provide new playgrounds for RL research in the management of electricity networks that do not require an extensive knowledge of the underlying dynamics of such systems.Along with this work,we are releasing an implementation of an introductory toy-environment,ANM6-Easy,designed to emphasize common challenges in ANM.We also show that state-of-the-art RL algorithms can already achieve good performance on ANM6-Easy when compared against a model predictive control(MPC)approach.Finally,we provide guidelines to create new Gym-ANM environments differing in terms of(a)the distribution network topology and param-eters,(b)the observation space,(c)the modeling of the stochastic processes present in the system,and(d)a set of hyperparameters influencing the reward signal.Gym-ANM can be downloaded at https://github.com/robinhenr y/gym-anm.
文摘The basic mobile IP protocol is difficult to implement on the traditional IP network and not flexible and efficient under certain conditions. For example, firewalls or bound- ary routers may drop packets sent by mobile nodes for security reasons. Traditional networking devices such as routers cannot dynamically load and unload extended services to achieve differ- ent qualities of services. In this paper, a new scheme of using the active network to support the mobile IP is presented. The Softnet, a prototype of active networks based on mobile agents, is introduced. The active network is characterized by the programmability of its intermediate nodes and therefore presents dynamic and flexible behaviors. Special services can be dynam- ically deployed onto the active nodes in the Softnet. This property is definitely required in implementing the mobile IP protocols. The Softnet supports not only the basic mobile IP pro- tocol but also other extended mobiIe IP protocols. Virtual networks for mobile IP services are dynamically formed by mobile agents in the Softnet to provide different qualities of services.
文摘A safe and reliable nication network will be of in vivo nanoscale commu- great benefit for medical diagnosis and monitoring as well as medical implant communication. This review article provides a brief introduction to nanoscale and molecular networking in general and provides opinions on the role of active networking for in vivo nanoscale information transport. While there are many in vivo communication mechanisms that can be leveraged, for example, forms of cell signaling, gap junctions, calcium and ion signaling, and circulatory borne communication, this review examines two in particular： molecular motor transport and neuronal information communication. Molecular motors transport molecules representing information and neural coding operates by means of the action potential; these mechan- isms are reviewed within the theoretical framework of an active network. This review suggests that an active networking paradigm is necessary at the nanoscale along with a new communication constraint, namely, minimiz- ing the communication impact upon the living environment. The goal is to assemble efficient nanoscale and molecular communication channels while minimizing disruption to the host organism.
文摘In an active network, users can insert customized active codes into activenodes, to execute. Thus it needs more resources than those required by conventional networks, andthese resources must be effectively monitored and managed. Management policies in existing OSs aretoo complicated to apply to simple active packets. In this paper, we present new resourcesmanagement policies that are mainly adoped to manage CPU, storage and transmission bandwidth.Namely, we use SPF algorithm to schedule and process active packets, and import an interval queuemethod to allocate transmission bandwidth, and use feedback mechanism to control congestion . At thesame time, we design some experiments on prototype systems with and without resources managementpolicies respectively. The experiments results show that management policies presented by us caneffectively manage resources in active nodes and can improve the performance of active networks.
文摘The continuously increasing demands on botanic gardens during the last few decades have led to a huge in increase administration and an urgent need for additional specialized personnel,especially botanists,teachers,database specialists and administrative staff.Instead of meeting these requirements,many botanic gardens are faceing a severe decrease in funding and personnel.Larger gardens provide the opportunity to distribute several tasks to different employees,whereas small gardens are short staffed and often run by a single curator who has to fulfill all functions.In order to meet actual demands more easily,the Austrian botanic gardens are linked nationally via an active workgroup.This network not only allows the distribution of information but also facilitates the sharing of duties.A listserver speeds up the communication and correspondence within the workgroup,collection priorities and projects(e.g.,GSPC) are coordinated,seedbanking becomes decentralized,printed matters are shared and distributed,etc.Small gardens with only few employees can participate in projects by taking on small-ideally using with their special resources-in order not to fall behind.In addition,there is also an urgent need for international networking by means of plant and seed exchange(Index Seminum),BGCI membership,discussion groups,personal contacts and projects.Mission statements,special marketing strategies for public relations,integrating projects of other workgroup members and adapted public awareness programs are important to focus attention to small gardens and to help them keep alive.
