Computer Simulation of a Mobile Examination Center

چکیده
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), sponsored by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), uses large custombuilt Mobile Examination Centers (MECs) to gather confidential data on the residential population of the United States. The data are used to generate national statistics and standards on health and nutrition for the nation. CDC is also exploring a community-based health examination survey designed to produce health statistics for smaller areas or defined populations, tentatively called the Community Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (CHANES), which would consist of a smaller self-contained MEC. In this paper, we describe a CHANES MEC simulation model built based on actual field data. The model is used to demonstrate how layout and staffing decisions could be evaluated for benefit/cost tradeoff analysis.

A Gravitational Search Algorithm-Based Single-Center of Mass Flocking Control for Tracking Single and Multiple Dynamic Targets for Parabolic Trajectories in Mobile Sensor Networks
Developing optimal flocking control procedure is an essential problem in mobile sensor networks (MSNs). Furthermore, finding the parameters such that the sensors can reach to the target in an appropriate time is an important issue. This paper offers an optimization approach based on metaheuristic methods for flocking control in MSNs to follow a target. We develop a non-differentiable optimizati...
متن کاملEstimating Reliability in Mobile ad-hoc Networks Based on Monte Carlo Simulation (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Each system has its own definition of reliability. Reliability in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) could be interpreted as, the probability of reaching a message from a source node to destination, successfully. The variability and volatility of the MANET configuration makes typical reliability methods (e.g. reliability block diagram) inappropriate. It is because, no single structure or configurat...
متن کاملA Survey of Solutions to Protect Against All Types of Attacks in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
In recent years mobile networks have expanded dramatically, compared with other wireless networks. Routing protocols in these networks are designed with the assumption that there is no attacker node, so routing protocols are vulnerable to various attacks in these networks. In this paper, we review the network layer attacks and then we simulate the impact of black hole attack on ad hoc on demand...
