The future success of Navy-Marine Corps operations in the extended littoral battlespace will depend critically on organic mine countermeasure capabilities. A battlegroup commander will require tools to rapidly detect, classify, and identify mines and form a tactical picture of mined areas, so a decision can be made to punch through the minefield, avoid it, or wait for dedicated mine countermeas...

Terminal-area aircraft intent inference (T-AII) is a prerequisite to detect and avoid potential aircraft conflict in the terminal airspace. T-AII challenges the state-of-the-art AII approaches due to the uncertainties of air traffic situation, in particular due to the undefined flight routes and frequent maneuvers. In this paper, a novel T-AII approach is introduced to address the limitations b...

Secure Communication is important parameter in unattended and hostile environment. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are deployed and operate in vulnerabilities and are candidate networks which should be commissioned for security provisioning in end to end communications. Because of their specialized applications many solutions in terms of cryptographic, Intrusion Detection and Key Management hav...

An integrated model considers all parameters and elements of different deficiencies in one problem. This paper presents a new integrated model of a supply chain that simultaneously considers facility location, vehicle routing and inventory control problems as well as their interactions in one problem, called location-routing-inventory (LRI) problem. This model also considers stochastic demands ...

A long-standing debate questions whether the World Trade Organization’s (“WTO”) formal dispute settlement procedures level the playing field for lower income countries in international trade disputes, or instead, merely give opportunistic and sophisticated countries complex * Trade Counsel, Committee on Ways and Means, U.S. House of Representatives; J.D., Harvard Law School, 2007; M.P.P., Georg...

Relevance. For a given values set of extensive transport network sections lengths an exact method has been developed for finding optimal routes. The provides approximate solution when the initial data - are random variables with known distribution laws, as well if these not clearly specified. Fora special case normal numerical characteristics network, is brought to final results. Method. An det...

In this paper, we address the multicast routing problem for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). We present the Source Grouped Flooding approach to achieve multicast in MANETs. The protocol creates multiple multicast routes between the source and group members based on hop count distance constraints. We also propose a probabilistic data forwarding mechanism to achieve efficient data dissemination. ...

IP traceback technology is an important means combating Denial of Service (DoS) attacks in Internet. This paper proposes a new IP traceback scheme constituting two parts: the first part is constructing a traceback tree by integrating Deterministic Packet Marking and Probabilistic Packet Marking, and the second part is getting attack routes by analyzing this traceback tree. Basing on performance...

Wireless sensor networks are the ‘hot-spots’ of research today. Due to a low per node cost, they are increasingly being deployed for various purposes. This paper introduces a novel power-aware routing algorithm which may lead to a high degree of reliability. The algorithm is ad-hoc, hierarchical, probabilistic and leverages the inherent multiplicity of routes in sensor nets to provide reliabili...
