Réseaux véhiculaires : Modèles et algorithmes


Book Description

L’émergence des systèmes de transport intelligents est due principalement aux grands progrès technologiques dans les domaines des protocoles de communication sans fil, des systèmes embarqués et temps réel. Très prometteurs, ces derniers permettront d’offrir un large éventail de nouvelles applications, de nouveaux véhicules communicants et de définir un éco-système de mobilités diversifiées. Les caractéristiques inhérentes à ces systèmes posent de nouveaux challenges en termes de protocoles et d’architectures de communications. Les réseaux véhiculaires connaissent des évolutions récentes : cet ouvrage propose d’en traiter les problèmes critiques, à savoir le contrôle de congestion, le routage, le clustering, l’interconnexion entre le réseau véhiculaire et les réseaux LTE/LTE Advanced, le contrôle du trafic routier ou encore la simulation à travers les outils et la génération de traces de mobilité. D’approche analytique, cet ouvrage se présente comme la genèse d’un nouveau domaine qui est en train de bouleverser les modèles de transports dans nos sociétés.

Policy Decision Modeling with Fuzzy Logic


Book Description

This book introduces the concept of policy decision emergence and its dynamics at the sub systemic level of the decision process. This level constitutes the breeding ground of the emergence of policy decisions but remains unexplored due to the absence of adequate tools. It is a nonlinear complex system made of several entities that interact dynamically. The behavior of such a system cannot be understood with linear and deterministic methods. The book presents an innovative multidisciplinary approach that results in the development of a Policy Decision Emergence Simulation Model (PODESIM). This computational model is a multi-level fuzzy inference system that allows the identification of the decision emergence levers. This development represents a major advancement in the field of public policy decision studies. It paves the way for decision emergence modeling and simulation by bridging complex systems theory, multiple streams theory, and fuzzy logic theory.

Speech Dereverberation


Book Description

Speech Dereverberation gathers together an overview, a mathematical formulation of the problem and the state-of-the-art solutions for dereverberation. Speech Dereverberation presents current approaches to the problem of reverberation. It provides a review of topics in room acoustics and also describes performance measures for dereverberation. The algorithms are then explained with mathematical analysis and examples that enable the reader to see the strengths and weaknesses of the various techniques, as well as giving an understanding of the questions still to be addressed. Techniques rooted in speech enhancement are included, in addition to a treatment of multichannel blind acoustic system identification and inversion. The TRINICON framework is shown in the context of dereverberation to be a generalization of the signal processing for a range of analysis and enhancement techniques. Speech Dereverberation is suitable for students at masters and doctoral level, as well as established researchers.
