Revival: Twelfth International Conference on Adaptive Structures and Technologies (2002)

This paper reviews some of the important technical barriers that must be overcome to achieve truly efficient flying adaptive micro air vehicles (MAVs). As defined by the Defense Advanced Research Agency (DARPA) MAVs are vehicles with no length dimension greater than 6 inches. These vehicles typically weigh less than 100 grams and some can fly for approximately 30 minutes. Over the past decade significant progress has been made in developing these small-scale mechanical flying machines. However there is still much work to be done if these vehicles are to approach the efficiency and performance of biological fliers. This paper reviews the status of current miniature mechanical flying machines and compares their performance with common biological flyers such as birds and small insects. This comparison reveals that advances in aerodynamic efficiency lightweight and adaptive wing structures energy conversion/propulsion systems and flight control are required to match or exceed the performance of nature™s great flyers. | Revival: Twelfth International Conference on Adaptive Structures and Technologies (2002)

Self-Healing Systems and Wireless Networks Management

Do you believe in open-source development? Would you like to see your security system grow and learn by itself? Are you sick of paying for software license fees every year that produce little return on investment? And would you prefer to invest in something you could sell later on to other IT security departments? If you answered yes to these questions then this is the book for you. Addressing the issues of fault identification and classification Self-Healing Systems and Wireless Networks Management presents a method for identifying and classifying faults using causal reasoning—a powerful bottom up technique for deep surface and cross context correlation establishment. It explains how to employ a similarity matrix to match the user activity log and its pattern in a transformed space and discusses the development and deployment of a policy engine. The book describes how to use this self-growing policy engine in collaboration with a scheduler and plug-in bank to generate a healing policy. This healing policy presents the solution of the direct and causal fault. The author describes how to embed the solutions of the related faults in the healing policy so that if a client faces more faults related to the previous one they can be addressed at the client side. Exploring prototype systems the text defines supporting systems architectures and includes a case study of an autonomic healing-based self-management engine. It also explains how to fulfill the tasks in linear time so that the increase in the source file size does not affect the performance of your system—making the system highly scalable for distributed self-healing systems. This book provides valuable guidance to help you build a self-growing self -earning self-healing system that after development learns for itself about the IT security vulnerabilities of your organization and fills the holes for future breach prevention.
