The levels of conceptual interoperability model: applying systems engineering principles to M&S
This paper describes the use of the Levels of Conceptual Interoperability Model (LCIM) as a framework for conceptual modeling and its descriptive and prescriptive uses. LCIM is applied to show its potential and shortcomings in the current simulation interoperability approaches, in particular the High Level Architecture (HLA) and Base Object Models (BOM). It emphasizes the need to apply rigorous engineering methods and principles and replace ad-hoc approaches.

Research on Simulation Service Ontology and Its Matchmaking Model
Web Service is the key supporting technology for large scale resource sharing and application integration. Service-Oriented distributed simulation is becoming a very hot research topic in M&S. Aiming at the problem of simulation model service description and discovery, semantics-oriented simulation service ontology and description models are presented in this paper. A matchmaking model named ldquofour types and three levelsrdquo is proposed for simulation services discovery. Similarity functions are introduced to rank and select the simulation services. In particularly, some key matching algorithms are studied.

Three-dimensional conceptual model for service-oriented simulation
In this letter, we propose a novel three-dimensional conceptual model for an emerging service-oriented simulation paradigm. The model can be used as a guideline or an analytic means to find the potential and possible future directions of the current simulation frameworks. In particular, the model inspects the crossover between the disciplines of modeling and simulation, service-orientation, and software/systems engineering. Finally, two specific simulation frameworks are studied as examples.

High level architecture evolved modular federation object model
To improve the agility, dynamics, composability, reusability, and development efficiency restricted by monolithic Federation Object Model (FOM), a modular FOM was proposed by High Level Architecture (HLA) Evolved product development group. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of HLA Evolved modular FOM. In particular, related concepts, the overall impact on HLA standards, extension principles, and merging processes are discussed. Also permitted and restricted combinations, and merging rules are provided, and the influence on HLA interface specification is given. The comparison between modular FOM and Base Object Model (BOM) is performed to illustrate the importance of their combination. The applications of modular FOM are summarized. Finally, the significance to facilitate composable simulation both in academia and practice is presented and future directions are pointed out.

Position Based Unequal Error Protection for Image Transmission with Energy Constraint over Multirate XPD MIMO Sensor Networks
Multimedia delivery over Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is energy critical. In this paper, we study an energy constrained cross layer optimization scheme to improve digital image quality in cross polarization discrimination (XPD) based Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) WSNs. The contribution of this research can be summarized in three parts. First, link layer energy consumption and packet loss ratio in multirate XPD based MIMO WSN are modeled. Secondly, XPD based modulation optimization cross link and physical layer is proposed, achieving considerable energy efficiency. Finally, a new Position-Value (P- V) based Unequal Error Protection (UEP) scheme is studied and discussed in XPD MIMO WSNs, with more efficient resource allocation compared to traditional approaches. Simulation results show the proposed modulation optimization scheme improves energy efficiency considerably, and position based UEP achieves significant distortion-energy gain compared with traditional layer based resource allocation schemes in XPD MIMO WSNs.

Localized Recursive Estimation in Wireless Sensor Networks
This paper proposes a localized recursive estimation scheme for parameter estimation in wireless sensor networks. Given any parameter occurred at some location and time, a number of sensors recursively estimates the parameter by using their local measurements of the parameter that is attenuated with the distance between a sensor and the target location and corrupted by noises. Compared with centralized estimation schemes that transmit all measurements to a sink (or a fusion center), the recursive scheme needs only to transmit the final estimate to a sink. When a sink is faraway from the sensors and multihop communications have to be used, using localized recursive estimation can help to reduce energy consumption and reduce network traffic load. Furthermore, the most efficient sequence of sensors for estimation is defined and the necessary condition for such a sequence is determined. Some numerical examples are also provided. By using some typical industrial sensor parameter values, it is shown that recursive scheme consumes much less energy when the sink is three hops or more faraway from the local sensors.

A Novel Ray Tracing Based Multipath Modeling Approach for Site-Specific WLAN Simulations
Current propagation models used in network simulations neglect obstacles of a propagation environment and employ over-simplified assumptions that the received signal strength is a simple function of distance and the transmission area of a node is circular. These assumptions are in contradiction with the actual tests and the measurement results. To run reasonable simulations for evaluating the performance of a specific outdoor wireless testbed, a novel multipath propagation framework is proposed in this paper, which is based on the ray tracing technique and uses site-specific geographic data of the analyzed area. It provides accurate propagation predictions, and it does not significantly prolong the simulation duration.

MASSIVE: a multidisciplinary applications-oriented simulation and visualization environment
The objective of the MASSIVE project is to build a grid platform to enable large-scale and distributed scientific and engineering computations. Its focus is numerical simulation and visualization. This paper addresses a prototype grid utilizing resources at the Center for Engineering and Scientific Computation (CESC) in Zhejiang University (ZJU). This grid is capable of taking a model geometry generated by CAD systems, transferring it to an SGI Onyx 3900 supercomputer where it is meshed. The meshed geometry is then transferred to a Dawning PC cluster where it is used to solve computational fluid dynamics and computational solid mechanics problems and it is finally visualized showing numerical results.

Distance Measures for Anomaly Intrusion Detection
Heat treatment of shaped articles, larger than films or fibers, formed from anisotropic-melt-forming polymers provides an increase of at least 25% in energy to break in flexure. In at least one direction of measurement the heat treated articles are characterized by a flexural break strength of at least 10,000 psi, maximum strain to break in flexure of at least 2% and a flexural modulus of at least 500,000 psi. In many instances the heat treated articles can be further characterized by a notched Izod impact strength of at least 2 foot-pounds per inch. Since the heat-treated shaped articles have high levels of strength, stiffness and toughness, they are useful as replacements for some metals, e.g., brass.
