Sis-Based Modeling And Simulation Analysis On Exercise Benefit Perception Transmission, Lei Wang, Jinhai Sun, Tuojian Li Dec 2022

Sis-Based Modeling And Simulation Analysis On Exercise Benefit Perception Transmission, Lei Wang, Jinhai Sun, Tuojian Li

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: In order to distinguish the relationship between individual health behavior change and collective health behavior emergence, deal with the challenges of mathematical description of typical health information dissemination processes in social networks and social experiments, SIS(susceptible-infected-susceptible)model is introduced to simulate the dissemination process of classical health information exercise effect perception to meet the requirements of social system complexity, individual diversity and intelligence. To carry out numerical experiments on the propagation process of exercise effect perception to identify the phase change process of the collective health behavior emergence, agent-based modeling and simulation are utilized through NetLogo. Experimental results show …


A Blockchain-Enabled Model To Enhance Disaster Aids Network Resilience, Farinaz Sabz Ali Pour, Paul Niculescu-Mizil Gheorghe Jan 2021

A Blockchain-Enabled Model To Enhance Disaster Aids Network Resilience, Farinaz Sabz Ali Pour, Paul Niculescu-Mizil Gheorghe

The disaster area is a true dynamic environment. Lack of accurate information from the affected area create several challenges in distributing the supplies. The success of a disaster response network is based on collaboration, coordination, sovereignty, and equality in relief distribution. Therefore, a trust-based dynamic communication system is required to facilitate the interactions, enhance the knowledge for the relief operation, prioritize, and coordinate the goods distribution. One of the promising innovative technologies is blockchain technology which enables transparent, secure, and real-time information exchange and automation through smart contracts in a distributed technological ecosystem. This study aims to analyze the application …


A Mechanism Design Approach To Bandwidth Allocation In Tactical Data Networks, Ankur Mour Jan 2013

A Mechanism Design Approach To Bandwidth Allocation In Tactical Data Networks, Ankur Mour

Open Access Theses

The defense sector is undergoing a phase of rapid technological advancement, in the pursuit of its goal of information superiority. This goal depends on a large network of complex interconnected systems - sensors, weapons, soldiers - linked through a maze of heterogeneous networks. The sheer scale and size of these networks prompt behaviors that go beyond conglomerations of systems or `system-of-systems'. The lack of a central locus and disjointed, competing interests among large clusters of systems makes this characteristic of an Ultra Large Scale (ULS) system. These traits of ULS systems challenge and undermine the fundamental assumptions of today's software …
