Convex composite multi-objective nonsmooth programming
This paper examines nonsmooth constrained multi-objective optimization problems where the objective function and the constraints are compositions of convex functions, and locally Lipschitz and Gâteaux differentiable functions. Lagrangian necessary conditions, and new sufficient optimality conditions for efficient and properly efficient solutions are presented. Multi-objective duality results are given for convex composite problems which are not necessarily convex programming problems. Applications of the results to new and some special classes of nonlinear programming problems are discussed. A scalarization result and a characterization of the set of all properly efficient solutions for convex composite problems are also discussed under appropriate conditions.

Second order symmetric duality in non-differentiable multiobjective programming with F
Abstract This paper is concerned with a pair of Mond–Weir type second order symmetric dual non-differentiable multiobjective programming problems. We establish the weak and strong duality theorems for the new pair of dual models under second order F -convexity assumptions. Several results including many recent works are obtained as special cases.

A wakeup scheme for sensor networks: achieving balance between energy saving and end-to-end delay
Energy saving is a critical task for sensor networks with limited energy supply. Wakeup schemes that turn off sensors' radio when communication is not necessary have great potential in energy saving. However, existing wakeup schemes encounter critical tradeoffs between energy saving and wakeup latency, and little attention has been paid to reducing the packet end-to-end delay while preserving the energy saving capability. We argue that a long delay can be detrimental for large sensor networks. We propose a wakeup scheme that helps to achieve the balance between energy saving and end-to-end delay. The conditions under which the proposed scheme can show improvement are identified.

A vehicle-to-vehicle communication protocol for cooperative collision warning
This paper proposes a vehicle-to-vehicle communication protocol for cooperative collision warning. Emerging wireless technologies for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-roadside (V2R) communications such as DSRC are promising to dramatically reduce the number of fatal roadway accidents by providing early warnings. One major technical challenge addressed in this paper is to achieve low-latency in delivering emergency warnings in various road situations. Based on a careful analysis of application requirements, we design an effective protocol, comprising congestion control policies, service differentiation mechanisms and methods for emergency warning dissemination. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed protocol achieves low latency in delivering emergency warnings and efficient bandwidth usage in stressful road scenarios.

Normal based subdivision scheme for curve design
In this paper we propose a new kind of nonlinear and geometry driven subdivision scheme for curve interpolation. Instead of using linear combination of old vertexes, displacement vector for every new vertex is given by normal vectors at old vertexes. The normal vectors are computed adaptively for each time of subdivision, and the limit curve is G^1 smooth with wide ranges of free parameters. With this new scheme, normal vectors at selected vertexes can be interpolated efficiently. A shape preserving subdivision scheme with explicit choices of all free parameters is also presented.

High accuracy approximation of helices by quintic curves
In this paper we present methods for approximating a helix segment by quintic Bezier curves or quintic rational Bezier curves based on the geometric Hermite interpolation technique in space. The fitting curve interpolates the curvatures as well as the Frenet frames of the original helix at both ends. We achieve a high accuracy of the approximation by giving a proper parametrization of the curve, and the approximation order of the height function along the helix axis is 9 provided that the screw angle of the helix is fixed. Numerical examples are also presented to illustrate the efficiency of the new method.

Priority Scheduling in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
Ad hoc networks formed without the aid of any established infrastructure are typically multi-hop networks. Location dependent contention and hidden terminal problem make priority scheduling in multi-hop networks significantly different from that in wireless LANs. Most of the prior work related to priority scheduling addresses issues in wireless LANs. In this paper, priority scheduling in multi-hop networks is discussed. We propose a scheme using two narrow-band busy tone signals to ensure medium access for high priority source stations. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
