Over the past year we have successfully handled the winter snow disaster in southern China and the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan Province. The Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games were hosted very successfully and the manned spaceship Shenzhou VII was launched. China has also taken effective measures to meet the challenges presented by the global financial crisis. Prof. Dr. Ing. LU Yongxiang Facing all of these challenges and Member of CAS Member of CAE opportunities in 2008, the Chinese Vice Chairman of the Standing Academy of Sciences (CAS) has Committee of the National People’s Congress, P.R.China focused its innovation strategies on President of CAS meeting national demands at these key moments. Following our core principle of science and technology innovation, we have achieved a marked possibly arising from dark matter, increase in innovative capacity and key breakthroughs were made in research research developments.

Department of Mathematics, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong, China (email: [email protected]); 2. Department of Mathematics, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China (email: [email protected]); 3. Department of Statistics, Nankai University, Tianjin 300071, China (email: [email protected]) Received July 31, 2002 Abstract A supersaturated design is essentially a factorial design with the equal oc- currence of levels property and no fully aliased factors in which the number of main ef- fects is greater than the number of runs. It has received much recent interest because of its potential in factor screening experiments. A packing design is an important object in combinatorial design theory. In this paper, a strong link between the two apparently un- related kinds of designs is shown. Several criteria for comparing supersaturated designs are proposed, their properties and connections with other existing criteria are discussed. A combinatorial approach, called the packing method, for constructing optimal supersatu- rated designs is presented, and properties of the resulting designs are also investigated. Comparisons between the new designs and other existing designs are given, which show that our construction method and the newly constructed designs have good properties. Keywords: Kirkman triple systems, orthogonality, packing design, resolvability, supersaturated design. DOI: 10.1360/02ys0271 Many preliminary studies in industrial and scientific experiments contain a large num- ber of potentially relevant factors, but often only a few are believed to have significant effects.

  • The Application of Graph Theory and Uniform Design
    4th National Conference on Electrical, Electronics and Computer Engineering (NCEECE 2015) The Application of Graph Theory and Uniform Design Algorithm in the Test Arrangement of University Mengqi Zhang1, a, Yuejie Geng2, b, Zhigang Zhang3, c 1, 3 School of Mathematics and Physics, USTB, Beijing 10083, China 2 Academic Affairs Office, USTB, Beijing 100083, China [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Key words: test arrangement; graph theory; uniform design Abstract: Test arrangement problem is a kind of NP hard problems, which has been proved. It’s a combination of constraints, nonlinear, and fuzzy multi-objective optimization. The results can be found based on all kinds of known constraints, but it spends too much time. And the effect of the test is not certain, too. Above all, this article combines two methods in solving this problem, and proposes a reasonable solution. This solution also improves effective of test arrangement, and illustrates the rationality. 1 Description of test arrangement The problem of test arrangement involves 5 elements represented as sets, classes of exams’ setC= {, cc12 , , cm }; courses of exams’ set L= {, ll12 , , ln }, test times’ setT= {, tt12 , , tx }, the [1] invigilators’ set P= {, pp12 , , py }, test locations’ set P= {, pp12 , , py }. This problem also has hard constraint conditions and soft constraint conditions. Hard constraint conditions include those: I. An examination course must be arranged in a time period of examination; II. All classes of one course must be arranged in the same time period of examination; III. Every class must have one test course in one period of time; I V.

    Strategic Research on Construction and Promotion of China’s Intelligent Cities Yunhe Pan Strategic Research on Construction and Promotion of China’s Intelligent Cities General Report Strategic Research on Construction and Promotion of China’s Intelligent Cities Editor-in-chief Yunhe Pan, Chinese Academy of Engineering, Beijing, China This book series is the first in China on “Intelligent City” research, with systematic and thorough contributions from more than 200 Chinese experts including 47 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) in related fields. The book series is co-published with Zhejiang University Press, Hangzhou, China and consists of 13 volumes as planned, including one general report and 12 sector reports. In 2010, CAE conducted a research on the development of “smart cities” and concluded that urban development in China has reached a crucial turning point. Therefore, CAE kicked off the key consultancy research project on “Strategic Research on Construction and Promotion of China’s Intelligent Cities”, on which this book series is based. Firsthand and research results, surveys and analysis are provided on almost every aspect of urban development and smart cities in this series. Representing the highest level of research in this field in China, the book series will offer an authoritative reference resource for international readers, helping them to understand intelligent city construction in China, a movement expected to be highly influential around the globe.
