This paper presents a preliminary high-level architecture framework for Air Traffic Management (ATM) Operations in the context of the aviation transportation enterprise. The analysis contained in this paper examines ATM Operations as a specialized case of a logistics process and utilizes key concepts of transportation theory. The analysis used to develop the high-level architecture examines ATM Operations as a socio-technical Systems of System (SoS) where the human is examined as an integral part of the system, together with other physical components such as automation and infrastructure. The framework is developed using a systems methodology and presents a high-level architecture of functions and data. It also presents a set of notional operational and service-level requirements. In this paper we use the example of ATM Operations in the United States (U.S.) to illustrate the application of the high-level framework. As more research is conducted in both breadth and depth, it is expected that this high-level architecture will evolve. The framework presented in this paper is intended to help aviation stakeholders in their quest to develop new capabilities while meeting the mission needs of the organization. The framework is intended to be used in planning and coordinating systems research and development. It is expected the framework can also be used as a basis to help define expectations between organizations.

This article shows how the problem of autonomous navigation of a small boat was formulated and solved. The boat is a catamaran equipped with two water wheels driven by DC motors. A look-up table controller is used to turn on and off the DC motors. Firstly it is shown how the Kalman filter algorithm was applied to estimate in real-time the boat position and heading, using the measurements from a low-cost IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), a standard GPS receiver and a digital compass. Then a mathematical model of the boat and simulation results for the sensor integration problem and for the boat controller, are discussed. Finally, the article shows how the proposed solution for the autonomous navigation problem was implemented and tested using an embedded computer and the sensors (IMU, GPS receptor and digital compass) aboard the boat.

Planet scale growth in deployment of mobile and interconnected devices interacting in a participatory sensing, collection and dissemination of information, have motivated interest in the Internet of Things. Therefore, the problem of information overload and big data becomes inherent. In this paper we intend to propose a methodology aiming at a lower processing overhead towards an energy efficient method for networking of information in larger systems. We consider a content-centric networking paradigm that is aimed at enhancing the dissemination of information and eliminating many problems of host based communication. The proposed method is based on a network coding approach which leverages the spectral characteristics of network topology. We argue that topology of interacting nodes within a cluster can influence the performance of network coding from a computational complexity perspective and therefore the overall energy consumption in a system. We propose an algorithm that takes an opportunistic strategy to utilize the social structure and spectral characteristics of the network topology based on our design of a multicast coding network that reduces the number of encoding nodes.

The primary objective of this study is to identify macro emergent phenomena pertaining to landuse transitions within the Missisquoi Watershed, Vermont, by accounting for land managers' landuse decision making processes with respect to landscape characteristics, climate change scenarios and public policies. Due to the heterogeneity and the complexity of the interactions among human decision makers and potential trade-offs among natural and socio-economic losses and gains, a landuse transition agent-based model (LTABM) is developed to simulate landuse transitions with respect to several climate change scenarios and public policy interventions. It is expected that land managers' landuse decisions will be primarily dominated by profit maximizations, but also heavily driven by new technologies, risk perceptions and tax and subsidy policies. The results of this study will identify influential factors affecting landuse change, policy implementation hurdles, and alternate public policies leading to more sustainable landuse planning in the face of climate change.

This paper proposes a novel approach for cost-effective link failure localization in optical networks in order to improve the reliability of telecommunication systems. In such failure localization problems the optical network is usually represented by a graph, where the task is to form connected edge sets, so-called monitoring trails (m-trails), in a way that the failure of a link causes the failure of such a combination of m-trails, which unambiguously identifies the failed link. Every m-trail consumes a given amount of resources (like bandwidth, detectors, amplifiers, etc.). Thus, operators of optical network may prefer a set of paths, whose paths can be established in an easy and cost-effective way, while minimizing the interference with the route of the existing demands, i.e. may maximize the revenue. In this paper, unlike most existing techniques dealing with failure localization in this context, the presently proposed method considers a predefined set of paths in the graph as m-trails. This way the task can also be formulated as a special Set Covering Problem (SCP), whose general form is a frequently used formulation in a certain type of operations research problems (e.g. resource assignment). Since for the SCP task evolutionary algorithms, like Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), has been successfully applied in the operations research field, in this work the failure localization task is solved by using ACO on the SCP formulation of the described covering problem, which is a rather unique combination of approaches of different fields (telecommunication, operations research and evolutionary computation) placing our investigation in the multi-field scope of complex systems.

Large scale data gathering from remote sensor networks is a key issue in many remote deployments. Manual data collection is difficult and sending ground robots to collect information can be complex due to uneven terrain. Alternately, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can be used to collect data from sensor networks. The UAV will fly over the sensors gathering the data. However, to minimize the flight time of the UAV and maximize the network lifetime, a joint route optimization for UAV and sensor network must be carried out. Additionally, the UAV has kinematic constraints and communication range limitations. Determining solution with these constraints is difficult and computationally intensive. In this paper, we propose a heuristic solution by decoupling the problem into four sub-problems. The first is to determine clusters of sensors with communication range limitations. The second is to efficiently connect the clusters. The third is to design the route inside the cluster that will maximize the information collection and the fourth is to design a path planner for the UAV for data collection. We show the proposed solution through an example.

To increase flexibility in intralogistics, decentralized controlled material handling systems have been developed. We investigate the suitability of one of these systems, the FlexConveyor, for sorting of goods. The FlexConveyor is a material handling system built out of multiple, identical modules, each equipped with a controller. By communicating with each other, the modules are able to cooperate and to transport goods from any source to its specific destination. For sorting of goods, densely connected layouts promise high throughput while requiring little space. To compare different layouts, to identify bottlenecks and to draw conclusion about algorithm optimizations, we do a layout analysis partially based on methods coming from the network analysis of national transportation networks. The results of this layout analysis are compared to experimental results of a discrete event simulation model.

A well conceived test strategy helps to create affordable products that provide our customers the capabilities they desire to do their jobs. Life Cycle Test strategies provide early awareness in defining concepts and objectives for product testing through all stages of the product life cycle. Without an adequate life cycle test strategy, product development may lose the focus required to deliver a reliable, cost effective and capable product to the customer. The unintended consequences associated with an ill defined test strategy include: · Excessive engineering and manufacturing tests and rework leading to excessive manufacturing costs · Out of phase failures during critical tests or manufacturing · Operational test failures due to poor system suitability · Expensive and late test equipment · Unaffordable All up Round Unit Production Costs (AUPC) This paper presents the approach used at Raytheon Missile Systems to develop a disciplined approach to test strategy & architecture.

Underground infrastructures can fail due to ground movements. Due to the underground nature this is difficult to detect above ground. In a collaboration of multiple research institutes a new approach has been developed to estimate the probability of failure using underground position sensors. A Proof of Principle monitoring system was developed to reduce uncertainty with respect to the feasibility of such a system. It consists of a set of interacting subsystems from different experts and takes into account uncertainty of different (sometimes correlated) subsystem variables. In this paper we describe the approach itself and its rationale. We expect his system to be used in the future for risk management. Emphasis in this paper is on the integration of subsystems and fields of expertise.
