We attempt to get a probabilistic model of a queueing system in the maximum entropy condition. Applying the maximum entropy principle to the queueing system, we obtain the most uncertain probability model compatible with the available information expressed by moments.

Internet roundtrip delay/time (RTT) prediction plays an important role in detecting packet losses in reliable transport protocols for traditional web applications and determining proper transmission rates in many rate-based TCP-friendly protocols for Internet-based real-time applications. The widely adopted autoregressive and moving average (ARMA) model with fixed-parameters is shown to be insufficient for all scenarios due to its intrinsic limitation that it filters out all high-frequency components of RTT dynamics. In this paper, we introduce a novel parameter-varying RTT model for Internet roundtrip time prediction based on the information theory and the maximum entropy principle (MEP). Since the coefficients of the proposed RTT model are updated dynamically, the model is adaptive and it tracks RTT dynamics rapidly. The results of our experiments show that the MEP algorithm works better than the ARMA method in both RTT prediction and RTO estimation.

This paper develops a new method for reconstructing neutron flux distribution, that is based on the maximum entropy Principle in information theory. The Probability distribution that maximizes the entropy Provides the most unbiased objective Probability distribution within the known partial information. The partial information are the assembly volume-averaged neutron flux, the surface-averaged neutron fluxes and the surface-averaged neutron currents, that are the results of the nodal calculation. The flux distribution on the boundary of a fuel assembly, which is the boundary condition for the neutron diffusion equation, is transformed into the probability distribution in the entropy expression. The most objective boundary flux distribution is deduced using the results of the nodal calculation by the maximum entropy method. This boundary flux distribution is then used as the boundary condition in a procedure of the imbedded heterogeneous assembly calculation to provide detailed flux distribution. The results of the new method applied to several PWR benchmark problem assemblies show that the reconstruction errors are comparable with those of the form function methods in inner region of the assembly while they are relatively large near the boundary of the assembly. The incorporation of the surface-averaged neutron currents in the constraint information (that is not done in the present study) should provide better results.

Several practical prior distributions are derived using the maximum entropy principle. Also, an interactive method for estimating a prior distribution which uses the minimum cross-entropy principle is proposed when there are many prior informations. The consistency of the prior distributions obtained by the entropy principles is discussed.

Exergy is defined as the amount of work (entropy-free energy) a system can perform when it is brought into thermodynamic equilibrium with its environment. Exergy measures the distance from the inorganic soup in energy terms. Therefore, exergy can be considered as fuel for any system that converts energy and matter in a metabolic process. The aim of this study is to introduce structural dynamic modelling which is based on maximum exergy principle. Especially, almost ecological models couldn't explain algal succession until now. New model (structural dynamic model) is anticipated to predict or explain the succession theory. If the new concept using maximum exergy principle is used, algal succession can be explained in many actual cases. Therefore, It is estimated that structural dynamic model using maximum exergy principle might be a excellent tool to understand succession of nature from now on.

In usual statistical data analysis, we describe statistical data by exact values. However, in modem complex and large-scale systems, it is difficult to treat the systems using only exact data. In this paper, we define these data as fuzzy data(ie. Linguistic variable applied to make the member-ship function.) and Propose a new method to get an analysis of fuzzy survey data based on the maximum entropy Principle. Also, we propose a new method of discrimination by measuring distance between a distribution of the stable state and estimated distribution of the present state using the Kullback - Leibler information. Furthermore, we investigate the validity of our method by computer simulations under realistic situations.

A reliability analysis method is proposed in this paper based on the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) principle in which constraints are specified in terms of the fractional moments instead of integer moments. Then a multiplicative dimensional reduction method (M-DRM) is introduced to compute the fractional moments. The method is applicable for both explicit and implicit limit state functions of complex structures. After two examples illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of this method in comparison to the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS), the method is used to analyze the flutter reliability of suspension bridge. The results show that the empirical formula method in which the limit state function is explicitly represented as a function of variables is only a too conservative estimate for flutter reliability analysis but is not accurate adequately. So it is not suitable for reliability analysis of bridge flutter. The actual flutter reliability analysis should be conducted based on a finite element method in which limit state function is implicitly represented as a function of variables. The proposed M-DRM provide an alternate and efficient way to analyze a much more complicated flutter reliability of long span suspension bridge.

본 논문에서는 격조사의 구문적인 특성을 이용하여, 수식어까지 포함한 명사구 추출 방법을 연구한다. 명사구 판정을 위해 연속적인 형태소열을 문맥정보로 사용하던 기존의 방법과 달리, 명사구의 처음과 끝 그리고 명사구 주변의 형태소를 이용하여 명사구의 수식 부분과 중심 명사를 문맥정보로 사용한다. 다양한 형태의 문맥 정보들은 최대 엔트로피 원리(Maximum Entropy Principle)에 의해 하나의 확률 분포로 결합된다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 명사구 추출 방법은 먼저 구문 트리 태깅된 코퍼스에서 품사열로 표현되는 명사구 문법 규칙을 얻어낸다. 이렇게 얻어낸 명사구 규칙을 이용하여 격조사와 인접한 명사구 후보들을 추출한다. 추출된 각 명사구 후보는 학습 코퍼스에서 얻어낸 확률 분포에 기반하여 명사구로 해석될 확률값을 부여받는다. 이 중 제일 확률값이 높은 것을 선택하는 형태로 각 격조사와 관계있는 명사구를 추출한다. 본 연구에서 제시하는 모델로 시험을 한 결과 평균 4.5개의 구를 포함하는 명사구를 추출할 수 있었다.
