Vector of coordinates, velocities and accelerations

This chapter describes the how the vector of coordinates are defined in the formulation of spatial multibody systems. For this purpose, the translational motion is described in terms of Cartesian coordinates, while rotational motion is specified using the technique of Euler parameters. This approach avoids the computational difficulties associated with the singularities in the case of using Euler angles or Bryant angles. Moreover, the formulation of the velocities vector and accelerations vector is presented and analyzed here. These two sets of vectors are defined in terms of translational and rotational coordinates.

Automated network resilience optimization using computational intelligence methods

This paper presents an automated optimization framework able to provide network administrators with resilient routing configurations for link-state protocols, such as OSPF or IS-IS. In order to deal with the formulated NP-hard optimization problems, the devised framework is underpinned by the use of computational intelligence optimization engines, such as Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEAs). With the objective of demonstrating the framework capabilities, two illustrative Traffic Engineering methods are described, allowing to attain routing configurations robust to changes in the traffic demands and maintaining the network stable even in the presence of link failure events. The presented illustrative results clearly corroborate the usefulness of the proposed automated framework along with the devised optimization methods.
