Ubiquitous Collaborative Sensing
Weijia Jia, Ph.D.
Professor Director of Cyber-Space Intelligent Computing Lab Shanghai Jiaotong University PR China
Abstract:
Ubiquitous Sensing requires the sensing mechanism be deployed in Tenary-Cyberspace (TC) which includes social/Internet and physical world machines interconnected by wired/wireless networks. This talk focuses on the challenges of realizing the Ubiquitous Collaborative Sensing on TC.

A Bacteria-Inspired Solution for 5G Mobile Communication
Han-Chieh Chao, Ph.D.
President National Dong Hwa University Taiwan
Abstract:
A surge of innovation in technologies for 5G mobile communication is on the horizon, but its specification is still just being discussed. The only know is that 5G must introduce many novel hardware/software techniques, service types and network interfaces due to the requirement. There is very frequent interaction between these components that is like an ecosystem. An ecosystem has a very diverse species so that there are complex interaction happened. However, it can always maintain a balanced state because an ecosystem is a Self-Organizing Network (SON). 5G should consider to concept of SON so that the interaction of 5G functions can be well managed. This is the first step towards ecosystem by using biologically inspired method. This speech will introduce what is the biologically inspired method and how to use it for the real environment. Finally, we will present a novel network platform for 5G mobile communication system, viz Software Defined Wireless Bacteria-Inspired Network (SDWBIN). The SDWBIN platform integrates the concepts of molecular and bacterial communication into traditional mobile communications so that the features of molecule and bacteria (i.e., perception, infection and diffusion) could be applied to end devices, such as vehicle-to-vehicle, machine-to-machine and device-to-device. In order to realize the design of SDWBIN platform, we exploit the framework of Software Defined Wireless Network to implement the core network in SDWBIN. We expect that the proposed SDWBIN platform can tackle with the communication from an enormous number of devices in 5G systems.

A Model and Application of Collaborative Simulation Training System for Substation Based on Virtual Reality
Neal N. Xiong, Ph.D.
President Northeastern State University USA
Abstract:
Regarding the imperfection and poor collaborative interaction ability in existing substation simulation training system, this paper proposes a virtual reality simulation training system model for multiuser cooperation in substation maintenance which realizes multiuser collaborative virtual maintenance training of large-scale complex scenes of the substation and solves the competition of the electrical equipment resources. Through analysis of hybrid heterogeneous hierarchical process modeling technology and Petri Nets sharing sub-network synthesis technology, the key technologies such as hierarchical maintenance process modeling, distributed cooperative concurrency control and asynchronous message delay strategy was put forward. This model technique has been practical applied in virtual substation training system, and the effective application results have verified the rationality and effectiveness of the model.
