Using multi-agent negotiation techniques for the autonomous resolution of air traffic conflictsWollkind, Steven Robert 17 February 2005 (has links)
The National Airspace System in its current incarnation is nearing its maximum
capacity. The Free Flight initiative, which would alter the current system by
allowing pilots to select more direct routes to their destinations, has been proposed
as a solution to this problem. However, allowing pilots to fly anywhere, as opposed
to being restricted to planned jetways, greatly complicates the problem of ensuring
separation between aircraft.
In this thesis I propose using cooperative, multi-agent negotiation techniques
in order to efficiently and pseudo-optimally resolve air traffic conflicts. The system
makes use of software agents running in each aircraft that negotiate with one another
to determine a safe and acceptable solution when a potential air traffic conflict is
detected. The agents negotiate using the Monotonic Concession Protocol and communicate
using aircraft to aircraft data links, or possibly the ADS-B signal.
There are many benefits to using such a system to handle the resolution of air
traffic conflicts. Automating CD&R will improve safety by reducing the workloads
of air traffic controllers. Additionally, the robustness of the system is improved as
the decentralization provided by software agents running in each aircraft reduces the
dependence on a single ground based system to coordinate all aircraft movements.
The pilots, passengers, and carriers benefit as well due to the increased efficiency of
the solutions reached by negotiation.

Improving the Caching Performances in Web using Cooperative ProxiesHuang, Li-te 03 February 2009 (has links)
Nowadays, Web caching technique has been widely used and become one of the most promising ways to reduce network traffic, server load, and user-experienced latency while users surf the Web. In the context of traditional systems, caching techniques have been extensively studied. However, these techniques are not directly applicable to Web due to larger size of working set and cache storage in proxies. Many studies have presented their approaches to improving the performance of Web caching. Two of most representative approaches are hash routing [25] and directory-base digest [12]. Hash routing provides amapping fromthe URL of object to the location of proxy, which has the cached object, while directory-based digest records the pairs of proxy locations and object URLs for answering the query when local misses occur in any proxy. Hash routing can best utilize storage space by eliminating duplicated objects among proxies,while directory-based digest allows object replicas among proxies to resist proxy failures. These two conventional approaches have complementary tradeoffs.
In this thesis, a comprehensive approach to cooperative caching for Web proxies, using a combination of hash routing and directory-based digest, is presented. Our approach tends to subsume these widely used approaches and thus gives a spectrum of trade-off between the overall hit ratio and its associated overhead. Through the simulations using real-life proxy traces, the performance and overhead of our proposed mechanism were evaluated. The experimental results showed that our approach outperforms the previous competitors.
