With the rapid proliferation of information and communications
technology, industrial automation has undergone a sweeping
transformation toward intelligent manufacturing. Wireless
communication is widely considered to be one of the key
technologies enabling intelligent manufacturing. On one hand,
deterministic communication with high reliability and low latency
is typically required in industrial automation applications. On the
other hand, wireless communication in industrial settings is
hindered by strictly limited communication resources and many other
factors which mainly derive from the shared and error-prone nature
of the wireless channels used. The limited communication resources
and harsh channel conditions pose considerable challenges for
reliable, real-time data transmission in industrial wireless
networks. Resource optimization methods are vital to
ensuring the deterministic performance of industrial wireless
networks. Traditional resource optimization methods adopt the
isolated resource optimization methods for each protocol layer,
which is inherently local-optimal and leads performance
uncontrollable. To focus on “Performance Controllable Industrial
Wireless Networks”, this book presents thejoint resource
optimization methods across multiple protocol layers for industrial
wireless networks; reviews recent, major advances; and discusses
the practical implementations of the proposed methods. The
joint resource optimization methods discussed here will greatly
benefit scientists and researchers in the areas of industrial
automation and Industrial Internet of Things. To gain the most from
this book, readers should have a fundamental grasp of wireless
communication, scheduling theory, and convex optimization.Â
An all-in-one craft guide and anthology, this is the first creative
writing book to find inspiration and guidance in the diverse
literary traditions of Asia. Including exemplary stories by leading
writers from Japan, China, India, Singapore and beyond as well as
those from Asian diasporas in Europe and America, The Art and Craft
of Asian Stories offers an exciting take on the traditional how-to
writing guide by drawing from a rich new trove of short stories
beyond the western canon which readers may never have encountered
before. Whilst still taking stock of the traditional elements of
story such as character, viewpoint and setting, Xu and Hemley let
these compelling stories speak for themselves to offer readers new
ideas and approaches which could enrich their own creative work.
Structured around the themes encountered in the stories, such as
race and identity, history and power, family and aspirations, this
text is a vital companion for writers at all levels keen to develop
and find new perspectives on key elements of their craft. Written
by two internationally successful writers and teachers, each
chapter contains complete short stories and writing exercises for
practice and inspiration.
