With the advancement of technology and more and more sensors and machines are connected, the world quickly enter the era of Internet of Things (IoT), which provides infrastructure for RMS. However existing studies lack a formalism that provides a framework for the development of RMS, from modeling, design to implementation. In particular, an important issue is design of dynamic process planner for RMS. This paper focuses on the development of a dynamic process planning method for the development of RMS. Modeling and managing RMS in manufacturing sector are challenging issues due to the complex workflows in the system. Recent progress in artificial intelligence and bio-inspired optimization technology provides a solid background to develop a framework to provide dynamic process planning for RMS in IoT-enabled manufacturing environment. In this paper, we propose a process planning method based on multi-agent systems (MAS) using Petri Nets to specify the workflows and capabilities of resources in the system and develop a solution algorithm based on a meta-heuristic method to solve the process planning problem based on discrete Particle swarm optimization (DPSO) approach The proposed method is illustrated by a several examples.","PeriodicalId":119197,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Applications and Technologies (PDCAT)","volume":"302 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133022841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such collaborations are usually regulated by commitment protocols, which are typically defined at design-time. However, in many situations a protocol may not exist or be predefined at design-time which may not fit the needs of the agents when environment changes. In order to deal with such situations, agents should be able to generate protocols at run-time. In this paper, we combined commitment with capability. Firstly, we proposed the capability matching method to generate commitment protocols dynamically at run-time. Secondly, we combined capability with commitment and extended its traditional definition. Thirdly, we compared the forms, generation time and execution time of typical and extended commitments. At last, we introduced the criteria of profit to select the optimal protocol. The application of our approach will be demonstrated in intelligent parking lot systems.","PeriodicalId":119197,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Applications and Technologies (PDCAT)","volume":"57 12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122002448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the application classification, the virtual machines running applications of different types can be deployed on the same physical host.

Our proposed protocol, FGMRP (Fixed-Group based Multi-hop Routing Protocol), divides the monitoring area into several groups according to node intimacy, optimizes energy consumption among nodes in each group by performing adaptive cluster head round-robin rotations based on residual energy, concentration and centrality, and balances energy consumption among groups through a ?tness routing algorithm which considers node residual energy, forwarding distance and radial angle. Simulation results show that the FGMRP protocol effectively balances the energy consumption among nodes, achieves better monitoring performance and signi?cantly increases network lifetime as compared to the existing routing protocols, taking monitoring quality, the amount of data acquisition and network lifetime as evaluation indices.","PeriodicalId":119197,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Applications and Technologies (PDCAT)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115318965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) model should take advantages in the supervision, payment and consumption. Blockchain possesses the feature of de-centrality, tamper-resistant, and traceability. So this paper attempts to use the blockchain as the fundamental technology of CBDC. However, the challenges such as the protection for users privacy, supervision and transaction speed should be overcome. This paper proposes a CBDC model called MBDC which is based on the permission blockchain technology. The model makes use of the multi-blockchain architecture and ChainID to improve the models scalability and process payments more quickly. In this model, central bank and commercial banks and other agencies build and maintain the blockchain. On one hand, central bank could master the issuance of currency. On the other hand, relying on the user account address protocol, central bank could separate the users identity and transaction information. In this way, central bank could avoid double-spending issues and protect users privacy. In addition, the establishment of DC (Data Center) and layers of supervision provide strong supervision for the model. Finally, we also demonstrate, both theoretically and experimentally, the performance of model on the scalability and the speed of transaction execution etc.","PeriodicalId":119197,"journal":{"name":"2017 18th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Applications and Technologies (PDCAT)","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126012630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
