Abstract:
A method for obtaining solutions to make a decision multiple-opinions comprises the steps of (a) creating an n x m opinion decision matrix including language parameters used to evaluate n alternatives made by K decision makers participating in making a decision of the opinion according to m criteria; (b) normalizing an interval gray number corresponding to the language parameters for each opinion decision matrix of each decision maker to find the normalized opinion decision matrix; (c) calculating a weighted value for each criterion based on the variance at each criterion with respect to the normalized opinion decision matrix of each decision maker, and creating the weighted and normalized decision matrix by using the calculated weighted value; (d) deciding a positive ideal solution and a negative ideal solution from the weighted and normalized opinion decision matrix of each decision maker; (e) calculating a gray correlation coefficient with each decision maker by using the positive and negative ideal solutions and the weighted and normalized opinion decision matrix; (f) calculating each gray correlation index from the gray correlation coefficient for each alterative; (g) calculating a group division criterion for each alterative with respect to the gray correlation index of the opinion decision maker; (h) determining a proximity degree based on the group separation criterion for each alternative; and determining a level of the alternatives according to sizes of proximity degrees.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A VOD(Video On Demand) batching method combining static multi-casting and dynamic multi-casting is provided to combine the static multi-casting and the dynamic multi-casting by using interval time at transmission time, thereby effectively reducing the amount of use of channels. CONSTITUTION: When a segment number, which is requested in a dynamic broadcast group, is lesser than a next segment number which is transmitted to a static broadcast group, a system confirms continuous reproduction. When the segment number is greater than or equal to the next segment number, the system transmits the segment number to the dynamic broadcast group. When the continuous reproduction is possible, the system transmits the same segment to the dynamic broadcast group and the static broadcast group. When the continuous reproduction is impossible, the system transmits the segment number to the dynamic broadcast group. [Reference numerals] (AA) Start; (BB) Detect a segment(Rd) which is the most requested in a dynamic broadcast group; (CC) Confirm a next segment(Ns) transmitted from a static broadcast group; (DD) Whether or not continuous reproduction; (EE,GG) Transmit the segment(Rd) requested in the dynamic broadcast group; (FF) Transmit the same segment to the static broadcast group and the dynamic broadcast group
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A context awareness system based on hierarchical context modeling is provided to use a mahalanobis distance for dividing a level of the hierarchical context modeling, thereby increasing the accuracy of context inference. CONSTITUTION: A context collection agent unit(110) collects lower level context information from a sensor device. A context awareness agent unit includes a context modeling unit(121) and a context inference unit(122). The context modeling unit models the context information by receiving the context information and using multi-hierarchical context modeling. The context inference unit infers the context information in a context model. An agent platform unit(130) communicates with the context collection agent unit and the context awareness agent unit by using a message transmission protocol. [Reference numerals] (100) Hierarchical context modeling based context awareness system; (110) Context collection agent unit; (120) Context recognition agent unit; (121) Context modeling unit; (122) Context inference unit; (130) Agent platform unit
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A balanced chain topology generation method in a wireless sensor network is provided to reduce the weighting of a network by constructing a chain based on a minimum spanning tree algorithm. CONSTITUTION: A wireless sensor network is set as a square based on a base station(S1). The square network is divided into the sub-areas of a square type including the same size according to the number of nodes. A bridge node is selected for the connection of the sub area in order to form a network chain in the divided sub-area(S2). A node connection chain is configured in each sub area to connect the bridge node(S3). [Reference numerals] (S1) Step of setting a wireless sensor network as a square based on a BS, and dividing the square network into n^2 sub-areas of a square type including the same size according to the number of nodes; (S2) Step of selecting a bridge node which connects the sub-areas in order to form the entire chain of a network in the sub-areas divided in the step (S1); (S3) (S3) step of configuring a chain which connects nodes in each sub-area and forming the entire chain by connecting the bridge node; (S4) Step of re-configuring the configuration of the chain in a sub-area to which a failure node is belonged when the failure node is generated
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus for priority based message scheduling for a multi agent system and a method thereof are provided to quickly adapt to a user preference and a system environment change by scheduling message priority based on the importance of message workload. CONSTITUTION: An agent platform device including functions for managing an internal agent manages priority information of agents. All ACL(Agent Communication Languages) messages pass through the agent platform device. The agent platform device transfers the ACL messages to the agents which use the registered preference information. A main container(114) manages the agent platform apparatus. An agent descriptor(111) manages the agents information.
