Remarks on IEEE 802.11 DCF performance analysis

2005

This letter presents a new approach to evaluate the throughput/delay performance of the 802.11 distributed coordination function (DCF). Our approach relies on elementary conditional probability arguments rather than bidimensional Markov chains (as proposed in previous models) and can be easily extended to account for backoff operation more general than DCF's one.

FMI4j: A Software Package for working with Functional Mock-up Units on the Java Virtual Machine

2018

This paper introduces FMI4j, a software package for working with Functional Mock-up Units (FMUs) on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). FMI4j is written in Kotlin, which is 100% interoperable with Java, and consists of programming APIs for parsing the meta-data associated with an FMU, as well as running them. FMI4j is compatible with FMI version 2.0 for Model Exchange (ME) and Co-Simulation (CS). Currently, FMI4j is the only software library targeting the JVM supporting ME 2.0. In addition to provide bare-bones access to such FMUs, it provides the means for solving them using a range of bundled fixedand variable-step solvers. A command line tool named FMU2Jar is also provided, which is capable …

A Measure of Concurrent Neural Firing Activity Based on Mutual Information

2021

Multiple methods have been developed in an attempt to quantify stimulus-induced neural coordination and to understand internal coordination of neuronal responses by examining the synchronization phenomena in neural discharge patterns. In this work we propose a novel approach to estimate the degree of concomitant firing between two neural units, based on a modified form of mutual information (MI) applied to a two-state representation of the firing activity. The binary profile of each single unit unfolds its discharge activity in time by decomposition into the state of neural quiescence/low activity and state of moderate firing/bursting. Then, the MI computed between the two binary streams is…

Measuring the agreement between brain connectivity networks.

2016

Investigating the level of similarity between two brain networks, resulting from measures of effective connectivity in the brain, can be of interest from many respects. In this study, we propose and test the idea to borrow measures of association used in machine learning to provide a measure of similarity between the structure of (un-weighted) brain connectivity networks. The measures here explored are the accuracy, Cohen's Kappa (K) and Area Under Curve (AUC). We implemented two simulation studies, reproducing two contexts of application that can be particularly interesting for practical applications, namely: i) in methodological studies, performed on surrogate data, aiming at comparing th…

The Holonic Production System: a Multi Agent Simulation Approach

2010

Today’s turbulent markets are facing unpredictable and sudden variations in demand. In this context, the Holonic Production System (HPS) seems to be able to overcome the operational and economic problems of traditional production systems. The HPS’ ability to adapt and react to business environment changes, whilst maintaining systemic synergies and coordination, leverage on its network organizational structure, assuring both flexibility and profitability. In this paper we study HPS experimentally, modeling holon-firms as agents. In our simulation, holon-firms interact both with each other and with the external environment without predetermined hierarchies and following their own aims and int…
