The Military Brownfields, an Opportunity for the Urban Redevelopment of Small Mountain Towns? by Stéphanie Lotz-Coll

“…In a frame of limited land resources, mountain territories need to consider the reconversion of wastelands that have lost their functionality as potential source of attractiveness and dynamism.In a context of sustainable development that is also beginning to consider what could be the future activities that could mitigate the abandonment of small peripheral cities in terms of urban centrality, the brutal urban changes due to the recent departure of militaries from some small mountain garrison cities allow to consider a first return of experience regarding the redevelopment of military wastelands and the project engineering implemented to achieve this.After putting into context, the interest represented by wastelands, especially urban, for mountain territories, this article proposes a focus on the military wasteland, with, on the one hand, a reflexion on its trivialization and on the other hand, the context in which its reconversion could be considered as a success. …”

Key problems of telecom operators' NFV future network management system evolution by Qiu YUE, Ziyu XIAO, Lihua WU, Lei SHEN

“…Network function virtualization (NFV) is the core technology and architecture of telecom-level business to cloud,which is the inevitable trend of future network evolution.NFV brings new capabilities to the communications network,at the same time,it requires new management and orchestration (MANO) capabilities for existing equipment operations,management,maintenance and configuration models.First of all,the network management system architecture and future evolution planning of the physical network element were summarized,and by the coming of NFV technology,the changes of the existing network equipment management method and the new network management architecture and function were concluded.The coordination of NFV MANO and operation support system (OSS),NFV MANO and other peripheral network was deeply researched.Finally,from the perspective of telecom operators,the deployment and evolution strategy of NFV MANO based on decoupling level was suggested.…”

L’économie territoriale de l’enrichissement (ETE) dans les territoires de montagne by Delphine Rime

“…From a territorial point of view, by contrast with the industrial economy, sectoral competitiveness is not an imperative in the TEE: development through the territorial economy of enrichment (TEE) depends on relations between a variety of activities and actors without these necessarily achieving a particular critical mass. Peripheral regions are therefore able to benefit from the TEE, whereas they generally experience difficulty in developing through the industrial economy. …”

Design and implementation of wireless multimedia sensor network node based on DSP and binocular vision by Yun-zhou ZHANG, Pei JIANG, Liang GAO, Li-qiang LI

“…In order to meet the requirement of multimedia information acquisition in wireless sensor network,a new wire-less multimedia sensor node is designed and implemented with the high-performance DSP processor as the core.ZigBee module is used to implement the wireless communication.In virtue of the powerful computing ability and peripheral in-terfaces of DSP processor,the multimedia node owns binocular vision and various sensors such as accelerometer.There-fore,it can attain the real-time perception of environmental information and acquire image/video data.Based on the Zig-Bee protocol,the sensor is able to fulfill short-distance wireless communication and monitoring duty in indoor environ-ment.Experimental results show that the multimedia sensor node designed can accurately obtain and handle the syntheti-cal sensing data in real time.It is suitable for the application of wireless multimedia sensor network.…”
