Starting and Sustaining an Undergraduate Research Program: The SURIEM Experience at Michigan State University

Abstract

Mentoring undergraduate students in research is both rewarding and challenging. In this paper we present how we established a summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program in the mathematical sciences at Michigan State University. A goal of our REU is to include students who are at an early stage of their study of mathematics. We share our experiences in recruiting students, designing research projects, and mentoring our participants. We discuss the challenges we faced and the solutions we found while working with a diverse group of undergraduate students from across the nation.     

Hybrid ants-like search algorithms for P2P media streaming distribution in ad hoc networks

Media streaming delivery in wireless ad hoc networks is challenging due to the stringent resource restrictions,po-tential high loss rate and the decentralized architecture. To support long and high-quality streams,one viable approach is that a media stream is partitioned into segments,and then the segments are replicated in a network and served in a peer-to-peer(P2P) fashion. However,the searching strategy for segments is one key problem with the approach. This paper proposes a hybrid ants-like search algorithm(HASA) for P2P media streaming distribution in ad hoc networks. It takes the advantages of random walks and ants-like algorithms for searching in unstructured P2P networks,such as low transmitting latency,less jitter times,and low unnecessary traffic. We quantify the performance of our scheme in terms of response time,jitter times,and network messages for media streaming distribution. Simulation results showed that it can effectively improve the search efficiency for P2P media streaming distribution in ad hoc networks.

动态车辆调度系统的滚动时域调度算法

提出了一类特殊的动态车辆调度问题--动态独占性带时间窗口装卸货问题.给出了问题的数学描述,分析了其静态性质,并把问题简化为不对称带时间窗口旅行商问题.提出了求解该动态问题的滚动时域调度算法,通过时域的不断滚动,不仅可以跟踪问题的动态变化,还由于每次滚动只对部分客户进行处理,可以减少问题的求解时间.并分析了算法的3个要素:当前客户窗口、当前客户窗口的调度和滚动策略.测试结果验证了算法在求解动态车辆调度问题中的有效性.
