Full textWireless sensor networks (WSNs) are becoming widely used worldwide. Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks (WSANs) represent a special category of WSNs wherein actors and sensors collaborate to perform specific tasks. WSANs have become one of the most preeminent emerging type of WSNs. Sensors with nodes having limited power resources are responsible for sensing and transmitting events to actor nodes. Actors are high-performance nodes equipped with rich resources that have the ability to collect, process, transmit data and perform various actions. WSANs have a unique architecture that distinguishes them from WSNs. Due to the characteristics of WSANs, numerous challenges arise. Determining the importance of factors usually depends on the application requirements.
The actor nodes are the spine of WSANs that collaborate to perform the specific tasks in an unsubstantiated and uneven environment. Thus, there is a possibility of high failure rate in such unfriendly scenarios due to several factors such as power fatigue of devices, electronic circuit failure, software errors in nodes or physical impairment of the actor nodes and inter-actor connectivity problem. It is essential to keep inter-actor connectivity in order to insure network connectivity. Thus, it is extremely important to discover the failure of a cut-vertex actor and network-disjoint in order to improve the Quality-of-Service (QoS). For network recovery process from actor node failure, optimal re-localization and coordination techniques should take place.
In this work, we propose an efficient actor recovery (EAR) paradigm to guarantee the contention-free traffic-forwarding capacity. The EAR paradigm consists of Node Monitoring and Critical Node Detection (NMCND) algorithm that monitors the activities of the nodes to determine the critical node. In addition, it replaces the critical node with backup node prior to complete node-failure which helps balances the network performance. The packet is handled using Network Integration and Message Forwarding (NIMF) algorithm that determines the source of forwarding the packets (Either from actor or sensor). This decision-making capability of the algorithm controls the packet forwarding rate to maintain the network for longer time. Furthermore, for handling the proper routing strategy, Priority-Based Routing for Node Failure Avoidance (PRNFA) algorithm is deployed to decide the priority of the packets to be forwarded based on the significance of information available in the packet. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed EAR paradigm, we compare the performance of our proposed work with state-of the art localization algorithms. Our experimental results show superior performance in regards to network life, residual energy, reliability, sensor/ actor recovery time and data recovery.

Many complex decision making problems like scheduling in manufacturing systems, portfolio management in finance, admission control in communication networks etc., with clear and precise objectives, can be formulated as stochastic dynamic programming problems in which the objective of decision making is to maximize a single "overall" reward. In these formulations, finding an optimal decision policy involves computing a certain "value function" which assigns to each state the optimal reward one would obtain if the system was started from that state. This function then naturally prescribes the optimal policy, which is to take decisions that drive the system to states with maximum value. For many practical problems, the computation of the exact value function is intractable, analytically and numerically, due to the enormous size of the state space. Therefore one has to resort to one of the following approximation methods to find a good sub-optimal policy: (1) Approximate the value function. (2) Restrict the search for a good policy to a smaller family of policies. In this thesis, we propose and study actor-critic algorithms which combine the above two approaches with simulation to find the best policy among a parameterized class of policies. Actor-critic algorithms have two learning units: an actor and a critic. An actor is a decision maker with a tunable parameter. A critic is a function approximator. The critic tries to approximate the value function of the policy used by the actor, and the actor in turn tries to improve its policy based on the current approximation provided by the critic. Furthermore, the critic evolves on a faster time-scale than the actor.
(cont.) We propose several variants of actor-critic algorithms. In all the variants, the critic uses Temporal Difference (TD) learning with linear function approximation. Some of the variants are inspired by a new geometric interpretation of the formula for the gradient of the overall reward with respect to the actor parameters. This interpretation suggests a natural set of basis functions for the critic, determined by the family of policies parameterized by the actor's parameters. We concentrate on the average expected reward criterion but we also show how the algorithms can be modified for other objective criteria. We prove convergence of the algorithms for problems with general (finite, countable, or continuous) state and decision spaces. To compute the rate of convergence (ROC) of our algorithms, we develop a general theory of the ROC of two-time-scale algorithms and we apply it to study our algorithms. In the process, we study the ROC of TD learning and compare it with related methods such as Least Squares TD (LSTD). We study the effect of the basis functions used for linear function approximation on the ROC of TD. We also show that the ROC of actor-critic algorithms does not depend on the actual basis functions used in the critic but depends only on the subspace spanned by them and study this dependence. Finally, we compare the performance of our algorithms with other algorithms that optimize over a parameterized family of policies. We show that when only the "natural" basis functions are used for the critic, the rate of convergence of the actor- critic algorithms is the same as that of certain stochastic gradient descent algorithms ...

Full textEsta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar os aspectos de design envolvidos na credibilidade de personagens geradas através de computação gráfica, que operam como efeitos especiais em filmes de ação ao vivo. Para isto, é apresentada a hipótese de que se trata de uma categoria ontologicamente discreta de personagens - propondo-se a nomenclatura atores digitais para designá-la - cujo processo de design se baseia em três contextos de desenvolvimento: os níveis diegético, imagético e tecnológico. Essa proposição é investigada através da metodologia do estudo de caso, utilizando-se a criatura Gollum, da trilogia cinematográfica O Senhor Dos Anéis (2001-2003). A análise das variáveis intrínsecas a cada um dos contextos citados indica que, de fato, essas personagens clamam por uma abordagem original de design, sugerindo novos papéis e novas habilidades para o designer.
This paper aims to analyze the design aspects responsible for the believability of computer generated characters in live-action movies. This research proposes the hypothesis that synthetic thespians constitute an ontologically distinct category of characters - to which the term Digital Actor is proposed - based upon a design process that involves three development contexts: the diegetic, the perceptual and the technological levels. In order to carry out such investigation, the case study methodology is used, in which the creature Gollum, from the movie trilogy The Lord of the Rings (2001-2003) is analyzed. The intrinsic variables investigated in this case show that Digital Actors in fact suggest an original design approach and therefore a new role for the designer.

Full textThe goal of this project was to develop part of the environment that would allow the creation of distributed applications in ACT++. ACT++ is a programming framework in which concurrent object-oriented programs can be written in C++. The concurrent objects in ACT ++ are called actors. Specifically, the project is concerned with the development of a communication infrastructure that configures a collection of heterogeneous machines for use in the distributed version of ACT++.
A utility, "ActorControl," was implemented through which the user can specify how ACT ++ is to run on each of the nodes by means of a configuration file. The "ActorControl" utility starts a process on each of the nodes specified in the configuration file and establishes TCP socket based connections among all of them. To simplify the communication between the different nodes, a special type of actor called an interface actor is used. Instead of issuing communication requests directly to sockets, a request is directed to an interface actor that is responsible for that socket. A related project is concerned with the problems of creation, destruction and invocation of the methods on the remote machine.
Thus the project consists of two parts. The first part is the implementation of the "Actor Control" utility that establishes socket connections among all the nodes participating in the distributed ACT ++. The second part is the implementation of the interface actors that are present at each end of the connection between any pair of machines.

Full textThe study of the models and methods to apply to multi-actor systems is a widely discussed research topic in the related scientific literature. The multi-actor systems are defined as systems that are characterized by the presence of several autonomous elements, of different decision makers and of complex rules that allow the communication, the coordination and the connection of the components of such systems. Commonly, the study of Multi-Actor System, MAS, recalls the well-known issues concerning the multi-agent systems. The research topic related to the multi-agent system firstly started to appear in scientific literature in 1980s, mainly in relation to the computer science and artificial intelligence. In this dissertation, in particular, the study of the multi-agent systems, and specifically of the multi-actor systems, is taken into account merely in relation to the distinctive features of complexity that characterize such systems and not to the issues concerning the agent-oriented software engineering. Therefore, the research results presented in this thesis are focused on the development and on the realization of innovative models and methodologies to face the management and the decision making mechanisms applied to complex multi-actor systems. This dissertation especially focuses on two different examples of multi-actor systems in two very diverse perspectives. The former deals with the research problem related to intermodal transportation networks, while the latter with the so called consensus problem in distributed networks of agents. Concerning the research problem related to the intermodal logistic systems, the research activity addresses the management of their more and more increasing complexity by the applications of the modern Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) tools that are key solutions to achieve the efficiency and to enhance logistics competitiveness. The related scientific literature still seems lacking in addressing with adequate attention the impact of these new techniques on the management of these complex systems and, moreover, there is an apparent lack of a systematic and general methodology to describe in detail the multiplicity of elements that can influence the dynamics and the corresponding information and decision making structure of intermodal transportation systems. The innovative results presented in this dissertation are focused on the development of an Integrated System, IS, devoted to manage intermodal transportation networks at the tactical as well as operational decision level to be used by decision makers both in off-line planning and real time management. To specify the Integrated System, a reference model is developed relying on a top-down metamodeling procedure. These innovative research results are a contribution to bridge the gap and to propose not only a systematic modeling approach devoted to describe a generic multi-actor logistic system, but also a management technique based on a closed loop strategy. The second example of application is focused on a topic that is widely discussed in scientific literature related to the study of the multi-actor collective behaviors in a distributed network. The interaction protocols that allow the agents to reach the convergence to a common value is called consensus or agreement problem. This research problem is particularly studied in the context of cooperative control of multi-agent systems because the agents are autonomous, independent and have to interact in a distributed network. The presented research results address the investigation of new and fast alignment protocols that enhance the performances of the standard iteration protocols for particular topologies of digraphs on the basis of a triangular splitting of the standard iteration matrix. The examined examples, the models and the methodologies applied to analyze them, are very different in the two cases and this testifies the large extent of research problems related to the multi-actor systems.
L’analisi di modelli e metodi da sviluppare e da applicare nel contesto dei sistemi multi-attoriali costituisce un tema molto variegato e discusso nella letteratura scientifica internazionale. I sistemi multi-attoriali sono sistemi che si contraddistinguono per la presenza di molti elementi autonomi diversi tra loro, di molteplici decisori e di complesse regole che determinano la comunicazione, il coordinamento e la connessione all'interno di tali sistemi. Frequentemente, facendo riferimento a sistemi multi-attoriali, Multi-Actor Systems, si richiama il tema molto attuale dei sistemi multi agente, Multi-Agent Systems. Diffusisi a partire dal 1980, i sistemi multi agente sono spesso studiati in relazione alle metodologie di sviluppo dell'ingegneria del software. Nel presente lavoro di tesi, il tema dei sistemi multi-agente, ed in particolare di quelli multi-attoriali, non viene analizzato in questo contesto, ma in relazione alle tecniche decisionali da adottare per gestire sistemi caratterizzati da un alto livello di complessità. In tale ambito, i risultati presentati all'interno di questa dissertazione sono focalizzati sullo sviluppo e sulla realizzazione di nuovi metodi e di nuove metodologie, in grado di affrontare la gestione della complessità dei sistemi multi-attoriali. Vengono in particolare esaminate due diverse problematiche, in due contesti completamente diversi e con tecniche differenti, a testimoniare le vaste applicazioni che riguardano i sistemi multi-attoriali. I problemi analizzati sono incentrati, in primo luogo, su un'applicazione inerente la gestione di sistemi logistici intermodali ed, in secondo luogo, sullo studio delle regole o protocolli di interazione in una rete distribuita di agenti autonomi. Per quanto riguarda l'aspetto legato ai sistemi intermodali di trasporto, un tema molto discusso nella letteratura scientifica recente, l'analisi si focalizza sulla gestione della loro sempre crescente complessità, tramite l'utilizzo di sistemi dell'Information and Communication Technology, ICT. Questi strumenti richiedono metodi e modelli che sono innovativi rispetto a quanto è presente nella letteratura scientifica, all'interno della quale è stata riscontrata la mancanza di un approccio sistematico e sufficientemente ad alto livello per la realizzazione di una metodologia in grado di descrivere allo stesso tempo sia la molteplicità di elementi che influenzano le dinamiche e le informazioni, sia le strutture decisionali dei sistemi intermodali. L'innovazione dei risultati presentati in questa tesi si focalizza proprio sull'esigenza di proporre un sistema integrato, Integrated System (IS), basato su un metamodello delle reti intermodali di trasporto, che fornisca un valido supporto ai decisori sia a livello tattico che operativo. Il secondo aspetto affrontato in questa tesi riguarda un altro argomento di largo ed attuale interesse nella letteratura scientifica, che viene comunemente chiamato problema del consenso. Questo problema affronta lo studio di come diversi agenti autonomi collocati su una rete distribuita siano in grado di comunicare e di accordarsi su un valore comune, senza la presenza di un decisore centrale. A questo scopo ci sono degli algoritmi che specificano le regole o protocolli di interazione tra i diversi agenti. In tale contesto, i risultati proposti si focalizzano su alcune problematiche rappresentate dal protocollo classico del consenso e soprattutto sulla sua scarsa efficienza in particolari conformazioni delle reti di agenti. Il lavoro di tesi propone, quindi, un approccio di suddivisione, splitting, della matrice standard di iterazione, di tipo triangolare, che presenta notevoli vantaggi in termini di performance rispetto all'algoritmo classico. Lo studio di problemi multi-attoriali, pertanto, richiede lo sviluppo di innovative metodologie decisionali e di nuovi metodi di gestione delle comunicazioni, per rispondere al livello sempre crescente di complessità, offrendo in questo modo alcuni spunti molto interessanti per la ricerca.

Full textAproximaciones psicoanalíticas al cuerpo del actor en escena se ubica como un estudio en transversalidad; es decir, se busca contrastar empíricamente las nociones de cuerpo en un grupo de actores chilenos de distintas edades, género y formación, con algunas de las aportaciones teóricas del psicoanálisis. Se intenta dar cuenta de las implicancias subjetivas para los actores de su estar en el escenario. Para ello metodológicamente se recurre al concepto de cuerpo como vehículo de expresión estética, a través del cual se interrogan nociones como lo erógeno, el proceso creador, y cómo este último “trabaja” al artista en tanto sujeto psíquico. Tomando en cuenta las tensiones existentes entre los distintos campos de saber –ciencias sociales, psicoanálisis y el arte- se recurrió a un enfoque metodológico de tipo cualitativo, el cual permitió una articulación con la concepción de sujeto del inconsciente y el lugar del investigador en ello. Por lo mismo, la principal herramienta de recolección y análisis de la información fue humana, es decir el propio tesista. De esta manera, se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad a los actores y actrices seleccionados para el estudio, las cuales fueron analizadas siguiendo los pasos propuestos por la Teoría Fundamentada, implementando a su vez en ello la noción de emergente, el cual se situó como articulación de lo explicitado por los entrevistados y lo que frente a ello surgía en el entrevistador, a modo de acercamiento analítico de los procesos implícitos contenidos en ese encuentro. La investigación finalmente tuvo una duración de un año, luego del cual se pudieron responder a las preguntas inicialmente planteadas, en especial en lo referido a como ese cuerpo erógeno de la obra freudiana se relacionaba con los cuerpos poéticos del arte. De este modo, se evidenció como la composición de subjetividad por parte del artista, deja de manifiesto el inconsciente estético desde el cual surgen saberes como el psicoanalítico y el del arte contemporáneo. Es así, como se llega a una categoría central en el análisis de las entrevistas, en donde el cuerpo es implicado como un campo de alteridad integrativo, desde el cual el artista puede construirse a sí mismo, en un interjuego entre el vacío y su delimitación, entre lo que es adentro y lo que es afuera, entre la forma y el contenido, lo representado y su representante, entre los procesos primarios y secundarios. Dando cuenta de cómo el trabajo del actor le permite componer un cuerpo, tanto en lo referido a reparar o suturar, como a generar otro cuerpo anexo que le permita subsistir en tanto sujeto. Rescatándose el saber hacer con la diferencia, y en especial el estatuto de lo vivo como seres humanos; es decir, las intensidades, lo sublime.
