Collision Risk-Informed Weather Routing for Sailboats
PublicationSelected COLREG rules, good seamanship and sheer common sense indicate that it is in a sailboat's interest to follow collision-free routes without relying on large power-driven ships to give way. Until now, however, no method has integrated a sailboat's weather routing with collision risk monitoring and collision avoidance. Therefore, a new deterministic approach to combine the above features within one method is introduced here....

Transverse surface waves on a cylindrical surface with coating
PublicationWe discuss the propagation of transverse surface waves that are so-called whispering-gallery waves along a surface of an elastic cylinder with coating. The coating is modelled in the framework of linearized Gurtin–Murdoch surface elasticity. Other interpretations of the surface shear modulus are given and relations to so-called stiff interface and stiff skin model are discussed. The dispersion relations are obtained and analyzed.

Evolution of Animats Following a Moving Target in an Artificial Ecosystem
PublicationMany biological animals, even microscopically small, are able to track moving sources of food. In this paper, we investigate the emergence of such behavior in artificial animals (animats) in a 2-dimensional simulated liquid environment. These "predators" are controlled by evolving artificial gene regulatory networks encoded in linear genomes. The fate of the predators is determined only by their ability to gather food and reproduce—no...

Toward Fast Calculation of Communication Paths for Resilient Routing
PublicationUtilization of alternate communication paths is a common technique to provide protection of transmission against failures of network nodes/links. However, a noticeable delay is encountered when calculating the relevant sets of disjoint paths using the available algorithms (e.g., using Bhandari’s approach). This, in turn, may have a serious impact on the ability of a network to serve dynamic demands...

Reliable Anycast and Unicast Routing: Protection against Attacks
PublicationObecne sieci są przeważnie chronione przed awariami losowymi, a topologie sieci są w większości uznawane za regularne. Znane mechanizmy ochrony dotyczą typowo transmisji unicast (jeden-do-jednego). Jednakże w związku z obserwowaną konwergencją technologii/usług, inne odmiany transmisji (np. anycast - jeden-do-jednego-z-wielu) nabierają znaczenia. Co więcej, okazuje się, iż często awarie nie mają losowego charakteru, a topologie...
