Performance analysis of relative service using TCP‐aware marking and dynamic WRED

The implementation of successful assured forwarding (AF) services according to the DiffServ framework remains a challenging problem today, despite the numerous proposals for assured forwarding per‐hop‐behaviour (AF PHB) mechanisms and AF‐based service implementations. The interaction of the TCP and UDP traffic under an AF‐based service and a number of relative issues such as fairness among flows, achievable bandwidth guarantees and qualitative performance have been taken into consideration in this work in order to address the existing limitations. We propose two modules, the TCP‐window aware marker (TWAM) and the dynamic WRED (WRED) mechanism for implementing the differentiated services (DiffServ) AF PHB. We provide analytical models and an experimental evaluation in order to demonstrate how they succeed in enhancing the quality, improving the performance and easing the deployment of a production level AF‐based service.

ASPE: attribute-based secure policy enforcement in vehicular ad hoc networks

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are usually operated among vehicles moving at high speeds, and thus their communication relations can be changed frequently. In such a highly dynamic environment, establishing trust among vehicles is difficult. To solve this problem, we propose a flexible, secure and decentralized attribute based secure key management framework for VANETs. Our solution is based on attribute based encryption (ABE) to construct an attribute based security policy enforcement (ASPE) framework. ASPE considers various road situations as attributes. These attributes are used as encryption keys to secure the transmitted data. ASPE is flexible in that it can dynamically change encryption keys depending on the VANET situations. At the same time, ASPE naturally incorporates data access control policies on the transmitted data. ASPE provides an integrated solution to involve data access control, key management, security policy enforcement, and secure group formation in highly dynamic vehicular communication environments. Our performance evaluations show that ASPE is efficient and it can handle large amount of data encryption/decryption flows in VANETs.     

限售股减持背景下控股股东自利行为研究——基于跨期投资的视角

以减持限售股份为前提条件,建立起两期间的控股股东跨期投资并进行利益侵占的理论模型。将现金流权比例、限售股减持比例等作为影响变量,分析其对控制权私利产生怎样的作用。通过分析得出产生的控制权私利分别与上述相关比例之间是呈负相关、正相关以及只与即期有关而与远期侵占无关的结论。同时,两期侵占模型中,控股股东的即期最佳水平与单期模型相比,有一定程度的降低。因为控股股东的减持以及侵占行为是长时间的,并且也是连续的,该行为是以获得最大收益为目的的。本文在理论分析的角度为我国资本市场的大股东持股结构改善以及投资决策选择给予支撑。     

求解无容量设施选址问题的拉格朗日蝙蝠算法

无容量设施选址问题(Uncapacitated Facility Location Problem,UFLP)是一类经典的组合优化问题,被证明是一种NP-hard问题,易于描述却难于求解.首先根据UFLP的数学模型及其具体特征,重新设计了蝙蝠算法的操作算子,给出了求解UFLP的蝙蝠算法.其次构建出三种可行化方法,并将其与求解UFLP的蝙蝠算法和拉格朗日松弛算法相结合,设计了求解该问题的拉格朗日蝙蝠算法.最后通过仿真实例和与其他算法进行比较的方式,验证了该混合算法用来求解UFLP的可行性,是解决离散型问题的一种有效方式.     

考虑合同保质期的快速失效药品的二级供应链库存策略研究

医院药品对保质期和服务水平有非常高的要求,同时,药品的库存空间在医药库存中也有重要影响。首先针对快速失效的医药药品考虑了医药库存的合同保质期以及库存空间约束,同时考虑医院库存以及制造商库存,基于经济订货批量模型和经济生产批量模型建立了二级供应链的医药库存模型,然后用MATLAB软件求解了模型最优解,并对一些重要参数进行了敏感性分析。研究发现,合同保质期对医院订购批量、制造商生产批量和总库存成本有一定的影响,其中对于制造商的生产批量以及医院的库存成本影响较大。如果不考虑合同保质期的约束,将会对总库存成本带来更大损失。     

超竞争环境下企业困境并购定价与时机选择的期权博弈分析

基于期权博弈理论,以超竞争环境为研究背景,在多个主并企业合作的情形下,建立目标企业存在财务困境的并购模型,得出主并方的最优并购时机;并进行数值模拟分析,重点分析了代表超竞争特点的三个变量(竞争强度、竞争不确定性、企业价值损失因子)、主并企业联盟中参与者的重要程度及联盟中发生机会主义的概率、企业困境因子这六个变量对并购阈值的影响。     

基于Heston随机波动率模型和风险偏好视角的资产负债管理

本文研究基于Heston随机波动率模型的资产负债管理问题。假设金融市场由一个无风险资产和一个风险资产构成,投资者的目标是最大化其终端财富的期望效用。应用随机控制方法,得到了该问题最优资产配置策略的解析表达式和相应值函数的解析解,通过数值算例分析了Heston模型主要参数以及债务对最优资产配置策略的影响。结果表明:配置到风险资产的比例对Heston模型中的参数非常敏感;为了对冲债务风险,负债的引入使得配置到风险资产的比例比无负债情形下的高;在风险厌恶系数变大时,无论投资者是否有负债,其投资到风险资产的比例则越来越低。     

市值管理动机下大股东参与定向增发与利益输送

上市公司的市值受到企业内在价值与外部溢价的双重影响,市值管理情境下大股东参与定向增发的利益动机及获利方式有待重新认识。聚焦市值管理的治理效应,以市值管理对大股东参与定向增发意愿的影响为切入点,引入内部资本配置效率,探讨两种认购方式中利益输送行为的存在性及市值管理理念的有效性。研究结果表明:市值管理对大股东参与定向增发具有积极影响;大股东参与定向增发后存在更为严重的资金占用、更高程度的现金分红以及利用资产定价获利的倾向并导致边际资本配置效率降低。进一步研究发现,市值管理能够制约上述利益输送行为,其治理效应随股权集中度的增加而增强,且民营企业市值管理的制度效率较国企更显著。研究结论通过揭示市值管理机制的效力路径为公司再融资决策及政策制定提供了理论依据。

Analysis and comparison of scheduling techniques for a BWA OFDMA mobile system

In the last few years the wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs) have increased their popularity and attracted the interest of important research groups all over the world; as a consequence, several standards have been proposed. Among them, the IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX) is one of the most promising standard to carry out a full‐service broadband wireless network in an urban and suburban area. This standard provides high data rate within a wide coverage area with low implementation costs, possibility of multi‐traffic communications, and different network topologies. This paper deals with the analysis and performance comparison of different scheduling techniques for WiMAX networks for allowing quality of service (QoS) differentiation when different types of applications have to be supported and achieving a fair distribution of resource among users. In particular, the focus here is on the resource allocation problem for the case of mobile stations (MSs) active in an urban environment. The proposed scheduling algorithms exploit the orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) scheme with adaptive modulation techniques in order to achieve a better network behavior. The performance of the proposed approaches will be derived here by means of theoretical analysis and computer simulations. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
