Full textLately, the evolution of information technologies has been following two trends. On the one hand the proliferation of communicating devices contributes to the creation of an ambient intelligence. On the other hand, the booming of Internet associated with the rapid growth of data centres capabilities results in the emergence of an internet of services. In both domains, application design is challenged by the dynamic availability of computing resources and data. The combination of component-based software engineering and service-oriented computing techniques allows service bindings to be driven by policies. However, for the time being, policies either follow a dynamic approach which does not suit the needs of architectural stability when dealing with intermittent services, or a static approach which does not allow dynamic reconfiguration. The work presented in this thesis proposes a trade-off between the two approaches by considering service disruptions as a major concern. The proposed binding policy relies on service level agreements to be disruption-tolerant, since service-level agreements allow expressing and enforcing obligations regarding availability and quantified disruptions. This approach has been implemented on the OSGi service platform and iPOJO, a service-oriented component model for OSGi. IPOJO service dependency management has been extended in order to support our policy. The latter was validated both in the context of ambient intelligence, and on open-source and OSGi-based JOnAS application server
Ksouri, Chahrazed. "Smart Mobility and Routing in Intermittent Infrastructure-based Internet of Vehicles." Thesis, Bordeaux, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020BORD0286.
Full textGreat progress has been made in the transportation field, which has led to the emergence of the Smart Mobility concept. In this thesis, we are interested in the technological aspect of the concept. We propose a broader vision of Smart Mobility, while specifying three mobility domains; namely terrestrial, aerial and marine. We then, focus on the terrestrial domain, more precisely, routing protocols in Internet of Vehicles (IoV). In the vehicular environment, three categories of network scenario are to be distinguished: infrastructure-based, infrastructure-less and intermittent infrastructure. In this work, we are interested in enabling vehicles to reach the infrastructure in a timely manner in the third scenario. To this end, we propose ILTS (Infrastructure Localization service and Tracking Scheme) that extracts valuable information from periodic message exchange in order to localize infrastructure and track available paths towards it. Then, we propose a routing protocol based on a decision making mechanism, HyRSIC (Hybrid Routing for Safety data with Intermittent V2I Connectivity), that enables vehicles to make the optimal choice when transmitting data

Full textThis thesis, is a study of battery energy storage and its use as energy source and smoothening of power fluctuation. Studies have been made as a systematic review and a quantitative study. The study has consisted of analysing the power characteristic from a supermarket in the city of Varberg during year 2015. The object has been to evaluate the energy storage and the power smoothing qualities. Therefore the battery energy storages characteristics have been evaluated in this systematic review. For the quantitative study, calculations of the energy storage sizes were made for two separate operation modes. The two different operation modes were named technical dimensioning and economic dimensioning. The function of the technical dimensioning was to smooth the power outlet from the grid, while the function of the economic dimensioning was to enable the supermarket to buy more energy during low-price hours. Based on monthly power characteristics, each dimensioning gave as a result two energy storage possibilities, one in medium and one in small size. The technical dimensioning resulted in battery energy storage of the sizes 617 kWh and 555kWh which is comparable to 7,1% and 5,8% of the daily energy usage of the supermarket. The economic dimensioning resulted in battery energy storage of the sizes 597 kWh and 233kWh which is comparable to 6,8% and 2,8% of the daily energy usage of the supermarket. For optimizing the economic savings, a variation of technical and economic operation mode are needed, depending on calculated power usage through the day and elspot prices. The study shows that a battery storage is difficult to finance. The calculated economic savings were estimated during ideal conditions and without power loss or loss in performance. As a conclusion from this study a battery storage may have a good payback if there are several energy services to be filled.
Makke, Ali. "Pervasive Service Provisioning in Intermittently Connected Hybrid Networks." Thesis, Lorient, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015LORIS362/document.
Full textThe vision of pervasive computing of building interactive smart spaces in the physical environment is gradually heading from the research domain to reality. Computing capacity is moving beyond personal computers to many day-to-day devices, and these devices become, thanks to multiple interfaces, capable of communicating directly with one another or of connecting to the Internet.In this thesis, we are interested in a kind of pervasive computing environment that forms what we call an Intermittently Connected Hybrid Network (ICHN). An ICHN is a network composed of two parts: a fixed and a mobile part. The fixed part is formed of some fixed infostations (potentially connected together with some fixed infrastructure, typically the Internet). The mobile part, on the other hand, is formed of smartphones carried by nomadic people. While the fixed part is mainly stable, the mobile part is considered challenging and form what is called an Opportunistic Network. Indeed, relying on short-range communication means coupled with the free movements of people and radio interferences lead to frequent disconnections. To perform a network-wide communication, the "store, carry and forward" approach is usually applied. With this approach, a message can be stored temporarily on a device, in order to be forwarded later when circumstances permit. Any device can opportunistically be used as an intermediate relay to facilitate the propagation of a message from one part of the network to another. In this context, the provisioning of pervasive services is particularly challenging, and requires revisiting important components of the provisioning process, such as performing pervasive service discovery and invocation with the presence of connectivity disruptions and absence of both end-to-end paths and access continuity due to user mobility. This thesis addresses the problems of providing network-wide service provisioning in ICHNs and proposes solutions for pervasive service discovery, invocation and access continuity. Concerning service discovery challenge, we propose TAO-DIS, a service discovery protocol that performs an automatic and fast service discovery mechanism. TAO-DIS takes into account the hybrid nature of an ICHN and that the majority of services are provided by infostations. It permits mobile users to discover all the services in the surrounding environment in order to identify and choose the most convenient ones. To allow users to interact with the discovered services, we introduce TAO-INV. TAO-INV is a service invocation protocol specifically designed for ICHNs. It relies on a set of heuristics and mechanisms that ensures performing efficient routing of messages (both service requests and responses) between fixed infostations and mobile clients while preserving both low values of overhead and round trip delays. Since some infostations in the network might be connected, we propose a soft handover mechanism that modifies the invocation process in order to reduce service delivery delays. This handover mechanism takes into consideration the opportunistic nature of the mobile part of the ICHN. We have performed various experiments to evaluate our solutions and compare them with other protocols designed for ad hoc and opportunistic networks. The obtained results tend to prove that our solutions outperform these protocols, namely thanks to the optimizations we have developed for ICHNs. In our opinion, building specialized protocols that benefit from techniques specifically designed for ICHNs is an approach that should be pursued, in complement with research works on general-purpose communication protocols

Full textThis thesis aims at presenting an optimal management and sizing of an Energy Storage System (ESS) paired up with Intermittent Renewable Energy Sources (IReN). Firstly, wedeveloped a technico-economic model of the system which is associated with three typical scenarios of utility grid power supply: hourly smoothing based on a one-day-ahead forecast (S1), guaranteed power supply (S2) and combined scenarios (S3). This model takes the form of a large-scale non-linear optimization program. Secondly, four heuristic strategies are assessed and lead to an optimized management of the power output with storage according to the reliability, productivity, efficiency and profitability criteria. This ESS optimized management is called “Adaptive Storage Operation” (ASO). When compared to a mixed integer linear program (MILP), this optimized operation that is practicable under operational conditions gives rapidly near-optimal results. Finally, we use the ASO in ESS optimal sizing for each renewable energy: wind, wave and solar (PV). We determine the minimal sizing that complies with each scenario, by inferring the failure rate, the viable feed-in tariff of the energy, and the corresponding compliant, lost or missing energies. We also perform sensitivity analysis which highlights the importance of the ESS efficiency and of the forecasting accuracy and the strong influence of the hybridization of renewables on ESS technico-economic sizing

Full textThis thesis deals with the economic analysis of the long-term security of supply in liberalized electricity markets. The electricity reforms that lead to an increasing integration of electricity markets, as well as the recent renewable promotion policies, add two new issues to ensure long-term security of supply which are the research axes of this thesis. The first research axis shows that the effectiveness of different long-term security of supply is necessarily influenced by the integration of electricity markets based on the conventional perspective of the effectiveness of competition by market integration. We rely on a formal analysis in investment dynamics in two integrated electricity markets to show how the lack of harmonization between local adequacy policies may lead to undesirable side effects in regional electricity markets, which has implications for the effective functioning of national markets. The second research axis shows that large-scale wind power development based on renewable promotion policies disturb the long-term equilibrium creating negative externalities for investment in conventional generation and for long-term security of supply. This thesis shows as well that capacity mechanisms can compensate for the externalities of large-scale wind power development. This compensation takes the form of a penalty for the low contribution of wind power to system long-term security of supply, giving it a much lower value. This compensation takes the form of a penalty for the low contribution of wind power to system long-term security of supply, giving it a much lower value

Full textThis thesis assumes that legal analysis should enlighten the global meaning of cultural actions of the State. Beyond the wide variety of objects concerned, rules composing law oncultural activities of public authorities show common features. Their review shows that principles they follow draw the outlines of a figure: the one of the cultural State. The demonstration is organized in two phases. It is first shown what legal mechanisms are concerned when conventional means of cultural interventions of the State are focused tostrengthen national cohesion: the State produces institutions in order to link people withculture and unite around it. In the same time, it protects the property and agents necessaryto assure these institutions in the long term. It is then shown that the State reforms and cultural law changes did not really bend the initial logic: the legal forms of action are certainly more nuanced, but they change the State culture more than they challenge it

In this paper, we design a service robot which not only can plan road to a destination by itself, but also can take an elevator to every floor. For planning road, in order to solve the Hagisonic Stargazer Robot localization system problem which in large environment will need to set a lot of landmark and this way will increase the lead time and memory capacity. So we use the concept of road nodes to combine with Stargazer landmark and Dijkstra algorithm. Robot can localize by itself and can plan the shortest road to a destination. In dead space of Stargazer, we integrate with a laser range finder and e-compass to assist robot in navigation, and use the laser range finder simultaneously to avoid front obstacle. For taking elevator, we design a wireless control of independent mechanism. Robot can use Xbee transmit command to control servo motor to push elevator button and use RFID to determine whether the arrival task Floor. Last, we use Borland C++ Builder to design a Human–Computer interaction. People can operate monitor to choice receiver, and we add the functions of remote call and setting code which can increase the practicability of this service robots.

Full textMalaria is endemic throughout Uganda and the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Malaria causes complications in 80.0% of all pregnancies in Uganda. This study attempted to identify factors that influence pregnant women’s utilisation of anti-malaria services in the Buikwe district of Uganda. These factors were contextualised within the Social Learning Theory’s major concepts. The target populations comprised pregnant women attending antenatal clinics (phase 1) and midwives providing antenatal services (phase 2) at 16 clinics in the Buikwe district of Uganda during the data collection phase of the study. Structured interviews were conducted with a sample of 400 randomly selected pregnant women and with the accessible population of 40 midwives. Pregnant women, who had progressed beyond primary school level education, were more likely to take intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) drugs and to use long lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) to prevent malaria. Pregnant women were more likely to implement malaria-preventive actions if they lived within five kilometres of clinics, were satisfied with available health services, were knowledgeable about the malaria preventive measures and had used IPT during previous pregnancies. Pregnant women who implemented one malaria-preventive action were likely to implement other actions as well (Pearson’s correlation coefficient was 0.65; p<0.05). Midwives’ provision of malaria-preventive services to pregnant women were influenced by the availability of IPT drugs, accessibility of safe drinking water, frequency of giving health education to pregnant women, cooperation with village health teams, malaria-related in-service training, midwives’ education level and experience. Although 97.9% of the pregnant women had taken IPT and 84.2% of those who had received LLINs, utilised these nets, malaria prevention during pregnancy could be improved. All pregnant women should attend antenatal clinics at least four times during each pregnancy, commencing during the first trimester of pregnancy to receive adequate health education and prenatal services, including IPT and LLINs. All midwives should receive malaria-related in-service training. Regular audits of midwives’ records should identify and address strengths and weaknesses related to the prevention and management of malaria during pregnancy. Such actions could enhance the prevention and management of malaria, estimated to affect 80% of pregnant women in Uganda.
