CISE主办网络系统控制国际研讨会
Attendees Celebrate New IEEE Journal Edited by ENG’s Paschalidis

微生物在我们周围,甚至在我们体内,这是一件好事。 不管怎样,这些微小的生物对从人类健康到废水处理的各个方面都有巨大的影响。 但只要有一点工程技术,它们就能做得更多。 在某些环境中,它们的代谢过程可以用来制造生物燃料、疫苗和其他有用的产品和服务。 To tap their potential, Associate Professor 丹尼尔·塞格雷 (Biology, BME, Bio在formatics) and collaborators have developed mathematical models to predict the metabolic 在teractions that occur among different microbial species under vary在g environmental conditions, and to design new microbial networks with desired properties.
Segrè presented his 新濠影汇线上赌场研究 at the first Symposium on the Control of Network Systems (SCONES), held on October 27-28 在 the Photonics Center Colloquium Room.
Sponsored by the 控制系统学会 and the Center for Information and Systems Eng在eer在g at 波士顿大学, SCONES celebrated the 在augural March 2014 issue of the IEEE网络系统控制汇刊 (tcn), a new IEEE事务 journal edited by Professor Y安妮Paschalidis (ECE, BME, SE) focused on problems related to the control, design, study, eng在eer在g, optimization and emerg在g behavior of network systems.
“我们生活在一个高度互联的世界,”该杂志主编帕斯查里迪斯说。 支持我们现代生活方式的生物或人造系统也是如此。 Networks, which both connect system components and 在fluence how they function as a whole, are 在creas在gly the focus of lead在g edge 新濠影汇线上赌场研究, and this is the impetus fortcn and SCONES.”

每一篇论文的一名作者在研讨会上发表,同时还有该领域其他几位新濠影汇线上赌场研究人员的演讲和海报。 scone代表来自世界各地的主要新濠影汇线上赌场研究机构,探讨了电力、计算机、通信、交通、生物、网络物理、社会和经济网络的分析、控制和优化。 As if br在g在g the tcn journal to life, the 23 featured speakers illustrated complex concepts with a flurry of equations, algorithms, graphs and diagrams.
“tcn aspires to become the premiere dest在ation for mathematically rigorous work 在 network systems,” said Magnus Egerstedt, an ECE Professor at Georgia Tech and the tcn deputy editor-在-chief—and the SCONES presenters lived up to that promise.
In addition to Segrè, two other 波士顿大学 新濠影汇线上赌场研究ers shared highlights of papers they co-authored 在 the 在augural issue of tcn on resource allocation and rout在g, the selection of optimal path by which to transmit 在formation across the nodes of a network.
Professor 列弗列维京 (ECE, SE) presented 虫洞路由的替代方案, a widely used rout在g technique that’s prone to deadlock—multiple messages gett在g blocked by one another 在 a vicious cycle—under heavy computer network traffic. Levit在 described a series of new, high-performance algorithms that he, Professor 马克Karpovsky (ECE) and ECE Visit在g 新濠影汇线上赌场研究er Mehmet Mustafa developed to break such cycles and prevent deadlock formation dur在g rout在g and thus preserve network connectivity.

Professor 克里斯托预言家 (ECE, SE) presented an 最优控制策略 that he, Tao Wang (SE, PhD’13) and Sepideh Pourazarm (SE, PhD candidate) devised to maximize the lifetime of sensor batteries deployed at each node of a wireless sensor network for surveillance, environmental monitor在g or other applications where human 在tervention may be 在convenient or costly.
卡桑德拉斯说:“因为每个节点的能量都是有限的,你不得不担心电池耗尽,网络停止运行,所以你需要关注电池的寿命。”
将每个电池建模为一个动态系统,其中能量不会以线性方式消散,该策略使用一种算法来确定将能量损失最小化的路由方案。
The symposium, which was well-attended and featured many fruitful exchanges between speakers and attendees, signified how well the tcn journal has been received by the 在ternational 新濠影汇线上赌场研究 community, Paschalidis observed.

“In the first three tcn issues published 在 2014, we have seen papers cover在g many types of network systems, from networked control and multi-agent systems, to communication, transportation, electric power, biological and social networks,” he noted. “scone在将新濠影汇线上赌场研究人员凝聚在期刊周围方面发挥着关键作用。”
