A partir de la experiencia del autor como guionista en la serie “Puertas al más allá”, se hace un análisis del trabajo profesional del guion en una serie de televisión producida para el exterior.

Broadcasting is used in on-demand routing protocols to discover routes in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs). On-demand routing protocols, such as Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) commonly employ pure flooding based broadcasting to discover new routes. In pure flooding, a route request (RREQ) packet is broadcast by the source node and each receiving node rebroadcasts it. This continues until the RREQ packet arrives at the destination node. Pure flooding generates excessive redundant routing traffic that may lead to the broadcast storm problem (BSP) and deteriorate the performance of MANETs significantly. A number of probabilistic broadcasting schemes have been proposed in the literature to address BSP. However, these schemes do not consider thermal noise and interference which exist in real life MANETs, and therefore, do not perform well in real life MANETs. Real life MANETs are noisy and the communication is not error free. This research argues that a broadcast scheme that considers the effects of thermal noise, co-channel interference, and node density in the neighbourhood simultaneously can reduce the broadcast storm problem and enhance the MANET performance. To achieve this, three investigations have been carried out: First, the effect of carrier sensing ranges on on-demand routing protocol such as AODV and their impact on interference; second, effects of thermal noise on on-demand routing protocols and third, evaluation of pure flooding and probabilistic broadcasting schemes under noisy and noiseless conditions. The findings of these investigations are exploited to propose a Channel Adaptive Probabilistic Broadcast (CAPB) scheme to disseminate RREQ packets efficiently. The proposed CAPB scheme determines the probability of rebroadcasting RREQ packets on the fly according to the current Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) and node density in the neighbourhood. The proposed scheme and two related state of the art (SoA) schemes from the literature are implemented in the standard AODV to replace the pure flooding based broadcast scheme. Ns-2 simulation results show that the proposed CAPB scheme outperforms the other schemes in terms of routing overhead, average end-to-end delay, throughput and energy consumption.

文化的重要性，巳躍居為國家戰略級的地位。兩岸政府都將文化創意產業的發展列入下一波的新興產業，期許它能成為推動下一波經濟的新引擎。然而，文創產業除了強調文化在地性之價值，更重視與國際接軌，才有機會跨越國界，創造出如韓劇《大長今》遍及全球60國家的900億新台幣的週邊效益（超越750萬台EeePC的產值）。 八十年代起，各國政府對媒體解除管制，及新科技的推波助瀾，美國電視集團紛紛前進海外市場佈局。本研究針對Discovery傳播集團如何建立全球品牌，在國際化的過程將節目及行銷依不同市場選擇不同的在地化策略，最終將紀實影片的利基市場，從美國擴大到歐洲、亞洲、拉丁美洲等國際市場，成為全球性的紀實娛樂頻道的領導品牌。 Discovery傳播集團因其知識性與教育性的內容，天生具備「政府友善」(Government Friendly)的特質，迅速在美國成長。但其國際化初期，因節目版權、各國政府法令限制在地製作內容的比例、觀眾偏好不同等挑戰，進而推出尋求在地人才製作在地節目的《新銳導演計畫》，並舉辦紀實影片研討會廣納人才。隨後又與BBC合作推出大成本、大製作的紀實影片，推出「與世界同步觀賞」的世界級節目，建立全球一致的品牌形象。過程中，Discovery累積並發展出其核心能力，並複製到其他市場，是最終建立其全球品牌價值、優勢、及持續成長的重要關鍵。 透過四個個案的分析－《流言終結者》、《新銳導演計畫》、《聖母峰：攀越巔峰》及《瘋台灣》，探討Discovery「節目與行銷」vs.「標準化及在地化」四種策略的成效，進一步確認「在地化」因子，在國際化過程極為重要的關鍵。「在地化」架構一個平台，讓在地的觀眾、媒體、廣告主、政府能有進一步參與的角色，並達成以5R的綜效（Local Relevant、Rating、Relationship、Revenue、Recognition）。 關鍵詞：國際化、標準化與在地化、紀實娛樂、Discovery頻道。 / The huge success of Cool Britannia, Korean drama & K-pop, cultural and creative industries, aka soft power, are considered key drivers in booting economic growth by Taiwan & Mainland China governments. The key factor behind this success is internationalizing the unique local culture. The objective of this study is to reveal the internationalization history, the factor & the formula behind the World’s number one real-world entertainment media - Discovery Communications Inc. What challenges did Discovery confronted back to early 90s, and what competence the company built up through limited resources over the past 27 years, and how it adopted the success formula from Europe to Asia and make Discovery a global brand. The research analyzes four cases which include Mythbusters, First Time Filmmakers, Everest and Fun Taiwan by the framework of standardization and localization vs. programming & marketing. Through the process, this work reveals the key successful factor is localization either in programing or marketing. Therefore it creates a local-friendly platform to further engage local partners- viewer, advertiser, media & government to take part in and achieve a multi-purposes success – the 5R synergy- Local Relevant, Rating, Relationship, Recognition & Revenue. Key words: internationalization, Discovery Channel, real-world entertainment, standardization & localization
