This paper deals with problems encountered in the current car parking. These problems can be highlighted as: few places in proportion to the need, more and more vehicles, insufficient public transport, intermodality undeveloped, uses of places not optimal linked to the payment policy and uses that evolve too slowly. A solution is proposed based on the smart city and mix smart parking with a heterogeneous solution of flow management, space availability management and transport system development involving modeling and simulation based on the DEVS (Discrete Event System specification) formalism.

This survey paper discusses the condition of smart healthcare implementation. It discusses the current healthcare problems and how smart healthcare technologies ease the problems. Our group, Universal Village, realizes that the integration and interaction between parties in a system will maximize the effectiveness and benefit for the system. Based on this idea, this paper considers the smart city system as a whole, and talks about how smart healthcare interacts with infrastructures and functions inside and outside of the smart healthcare field. Then, it analyzes how a more powerful integrated system can be built from the smart healthcare system. In the end, several case studies are listed. Based on our analysis and the case studies, this paper then ended with the future prospects of the smart healthcare.

A healthy living environment requires not only an ecological natural environment but also an ecological cultural environment. An ecological natural environment often comes from ecological cultural concepts and lifestyles. This study is based on the combing of the ethical evolution in the classical design theory, and in-depth discussion of the design cultural values that promote the development of healthy environment in the perspective of ecological civilization. This study explores the social and cultural environment suitable for healthy living from six parts: survival and life, equality and respect, service and sharing, happiness and health. “Survival and Life” is mainly aimed at the design considerations of the system response measures faced by human beings in the face of various natural disasters and man-made disasters. “Equality and respect” mainly focus on design considerations of different types, different users and different functions of universal design in public places and family environments. “Service and sharing” mainly focuses on the humanistic care of urban space, the pleasantness of public service quality and the ecological public transportation system. “Happy and healthy” explores product design and physical environment suitable for children, adults and the old people.

Component-based software systems are of the majority nowadays. When it comes down to implementation, the interaction between components is just as important as the functionality itself. When invoking a function of a component, how to pass data arguments, how to receive return results, and when to expect a return are all the questions to ask. There are so many ways in which these can be done, that it introduces the complexity in the usability of a component. We present in this article an architecture for integrating heterogeneous components across different language and binary platforms, different processes and even different machines, based on a simple message passing mechanism — the actor model, and the sharing of common and global data structures only through databases. We show the simplicity and flexibility of this architecture by re-structuring a slot machine framework, which consists of components to drive modern and legacy hardware, follows a static workflow, and changes the visual appearance quite often. We argue that this architecture with restricted implementation choices can be used in a much broader range of software systems, helping produce software components that are more independent and easy to adopt.

Software-Defined Network (SDN) is developing rapidly for its benefit of programmability. However, new challenges also appear. One of them is while we are applying distributed controllers in SDN networks, we must consider the consistency problem. In SDN networks, especially in a multi-controller architecture, it is a great challenge to maintain a global view consistency of the networks among all controllers, which is also key to issue flow regulations. Lacking of consistency in packets, flows, and networks level may result in serious errors. Besides, consistency problem also exists in data plane. How to keep all switches executing a same set of rules to avoid errors is often discussed. In this paper we’ll conclude the different situations of consistency problems and provide the related research solutions. The methods in the paper not only regard to consistency of control plane, but also data plane. At last, we also introduced the two methods to evaluate the performance of consistency, those are strong consistency and final consistency.

Discrete Event Modeling and Simulation (M&S) and Machine Learning (ML) are two frameworks suited for system modeling which when combined can give powerful tools for system optimization for example. This paper details how discrete event M&S could be integrated into ML concepts and tools in order to improve the design and use of ML frameworks. An overview of different improvements are given and three concerning Reinforcement Learning (RL) are implemented in the framework of the DEVS formalism.

With the aid of systems biology and synthetic biology, we will provide an integrated, direct and green bioprocess to address the overall challenge for universal village in production of biofuels using solar energy and captured atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). This will in practice be done using cyanobacteria and exemplified with the chemical/fuel ethanol as a model system. This, in addition, makes it possible to introduce waste water as a source of nutrients for the genetically engineered cyanobacteria and thereby use the developed system as a model to purify contaminated water bodies.

Finding the program procedure patterns by manual summarization is time-consuming and laborious. A program procedure pattern mining model is proposed integrated the data mining method. The contiguous sequential pattern mining method is applied to candidate pattern mining by analyzing the procedure features. A candidate pattern classification method is proposed to classify the candidate patterns into structure candidate patterns and structure relation candidate patterns using the data flow constraint. Then use the heuristic rules to filter and abstract the functional meanings of these patterns, and finally the program procedure patterns are obtained. The experiment system is designed to mine the legacy code and obtains 179 kinds of reusable program procedure patterns, verifying the effectiveness of the model.

Tracking multiple objects in a moving camera is challenging. Due to the irregular movements of the camera, the displacement, scale, and appearance of the objects can be difficult to predict and track. To cope with these problems, we propose an Adaptive Apatio-temporal (AST) model, which explicitly estimate the movement and scale of targets in the view of the moving camera. Moreover, the interactions among objects are also considered to increase the robustness. We introduce our model to the multiple hypothesis tracking and achieve a competitive result on the public benchmark, which includes video of both moving and statistic camera.

As a private wireless network of smart grid, TD-LTE network use the same frequency band with other dedicated TD-LTE networks. There is an issue of co-channel interference to be studied. The co-channel interference could be described by Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), Signal to Interference Plus Noise Ratio (SINR) at certain scrambling level and different interference field intensity. This paper presents a method to test the tolerance of the interference field intensity and the reference value of SINR in a certain RSRP value, with QoS as the evaluation index. The paper firstly investigates the category of smart grid services and Quality of Service (QoS) attribute value base on the specifications of power grid. Then the definition and causes of co-channel interference in LTE network are analyzed, and the method to evaluate the co-channel interference is given. Furthermore, a test by using the proposed method is given in the laboratory environment. More than 200 times of tests are repeated, and the delay, packet loss rate and throughput are obtained. The conclusion is finally given by comparing the test value with the required value of QoS. The data obtained in this test will provide reference for the design and optimization of the TD-LTE wireless network. And the method can be further used in the selection of the critical value of the finer network terminal RSRP.
