Roving Through Southern China

Territorialization of State Power through Land Development in Southern China

This article examines the relationship between urban land development and municipal finance in a Chinese regional economy undergoing rapid urbanization. Drawing upon insights from the perspective of political economy, this article identifies a strategy by which land-centered urbanization has been actively pursued as a means of revenue generation in response to the reshuffling of state power.

Roving Wireless Sensor Network

Mobile wireless sensor networks show great potential in a number of important disciplines such as search-and-rescue, military reconnaissance, environmental monitoring, and extraterrestrial exploration. This project focuses on the embedded system design acting as a test bed for experimentation. Keywords-component; networks; sensors; wireless; autonomous; robots; distributed; rover; energy harves...

Roving Faster Farther Cheaper

Current Mars rovers travel a few kilometers per year. Future rovers will need to travel a couple orders of magnitude faster than that in order to move from safe landing zones to areas of scientific interest – which may be many 10s of kilometers away from a suitable landing location. This paper describes a recent field test of the SR-II rover. SR-II is a 22kg solar powered autonomous rover, whic...

Randomly roving agents for intrusion detection

Agent based intrusion detection systems (IDS) have advantages such as scalability, recon gurability, and survivability. In this paper, we introduce a mobile-agent based IDS, called ABIDE (Agent Based Intrusion Detection Environment). ABIDE is comprised of various types of agents, all of which are mobile, lightweight, and specialized. The most common form of agent is the DMA (Data Mining Agent),...
