Evolutionary Game Theory-Based Collaborative Sensing Model in Emergency CRAHNs
Department of Information Technology, International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore 560100, India
Received 16 April 2012; Revised 29 August 2012; Accepted 23 September 2012
Academic Editor: Xiao Yu (Shelley) Wang
Copyright © 2012 Sasirekha GVK and Jyotsna Bapat. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
Game theory has been a tool of choice for modeling dynamic interactions between autonomous systems. Cognitive radio ad hoc networks (CRAHNs) constituted of autonomous wireless nodes are a natural fit for game theory-based modeling. The game theory-based model is particularly suitable for "collaborative spectrum sensing" where each cognitive radio senses the spectrum and shares the results with other nodes such that the targeted sensing accuracy is achieved. Spectrum sensing in CRAHNs, especially when used in emergency scenarios such as disaster management and military applications, needs to be not only accurate and resource efficient, but also adaptive to the changing number of users as well as signal-to-noise ratios. In addition, spectrum sensing mechanism must also be proactive, fair, and tolerant to security attacks. Existing work in collaborative spectrum sensing has mostly been confined to resource efficiency in static systems using request-based reactive sensing resulting in high latencies. In this paper, evolutionary game theory (EGT) is used to model the behavior of the emergency CRAHNS, providing an efficient model for collaborative spectrum sensing. The resulting implementation model is adaptive to the changes in its environment such as signal-to-noise ratio and number of users in the network. The analytical and simulation models presented validate the system design and the desired performance.

Savitsky's Stanley Sketches
Primary tabs
Who: The sketch shows John Pennefather-Evans [1], Commissioner of the Hong Kong Police Force in 1941 when the Japanese invaded Hong Kong.
What: Look carefully at the paper it is drawn on:
Brown wrapping paper - an odd choice for a drawing of a senior government official!
Where & When: Here's the artist's signature:
A. Savitsky, Stanley 1942.
That explains the paper. This was drawn in Stanley Internment Camp [2] in 1942, during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong. They had to make do with whatever materials were available.
Pennefather-Evans' scrapbook
I'd been looking for pictures of Pennefather-Evans as part of the Central Police Station project [3]. Then on February 2nd, this comment appeared [4]:
I may be able to help you with your research.
John Pennefather-Evans was my husband's grandfather. We have his journal/scrapbook of his time in HongKong.
Mrs. Jennifer Pennefather-Evans
Exciting news, and perfect timing as I was flying to London two weeks later. I wrote to ask if it would be possible to meet.
Jenny and her husband Patrick kindly invited me to visit them at their home, and a few weeks later I was able to meet them, learn more about thier grandfather, and take a closer look at the scrapbook.
It includes several more sketches by Savitsky, three more of Pennefather-Evans:
And one of the men in Mess 25, which included Pennefather-Evans (top-right):
George Wright-Nooth, another policeman, describes the formation of his own Mess [5], which was probably similar to Mess 25 shown above:
It was at the ((Gloucester)) Hotel that our informal "mess" evolved. With only a few changes it was to last us over three and a half years. Looking back it was probably this banding together of a small group of young officers of similar interests and background that kept us alive.
To begin with it was an unconscious decision to stick together which, after we were imprisoned at Stanley, developed into a lasting arrangement with agreed "rules". It became our guiding principle that everything we had except for sentimental possessions was shared. This was primarily to mean food, but also other things such as money, cigarettes, International Red Cross (IRC) parcels, soap and books. We also shared out any priveliges, or proceeds from black-market sales, chores, cooking or camp duties. We ate as a mess, the same food, the same amount of food, and at the same time. We became practical communists and in our case it worked.
A. Savitsky
So who was the artist, A. Savitsky?
Another grandson to the rescue!
Michael Martin had also responded to the request for information about the Central Police Station, sending us this photo of the Police Reservists, taken at the CPS site around 1940:
The gentleman marked "2L" is Michael's grandfather, Arseny Joseph "Joe" Savitsky [6]:
Michael explained that Joe also spent the Japanese occupation interned in Stanley Camp, and describes how the portraits came about:
Pretty soon after he arrived, the Japanese Camp Commandant found out Joe was an artist and asked to have his portrait painted and grandfather agreed. However he had none of the necessary art supplies so that Japanese organised to get art supplies from his mother-in-law who was still living in Kowloon (as she was Russian, not British). It really was thanks to her that many of the portraits and drawings were done in Stanley (and also that invaluable documentation also survived the war - a remarkable effort for a caucasian woman in her 50s to survive in Kowloon for 3.5 years!).
Here are two more wartime drawings by Savitsky. They show Ron Brooks [7] in 1942, and were uploaded to Gwulo by his family:
But there should be many more - Michael estimates his grandfather made around 200 paintings and sketches during his internment, and as Pennefather-Evans' scrapbook shows, they were kept as treasured mementoes. Michael and his father are keen to see as many as possible, so if you know of any more, please let us know.
Regards, David

No tourists, no sales, no end in sight, writes Helen Luk in Hong Kong.
Anybody for a free ride in a Rolls-Royce?
The Peninsula Hotel, long a haunt of the rich and famous, prides itself on the fleet of 13 Rollers used to pick them up at the airport or take them around Hong Kong.
But the Rolls-Royces aren't going many places these days, like the rest of Hong Kong's luxury hospitality industry hit hard by the SARS crisis.
Occupancy rates at Hong Kong's five-star hotels have plunged to between 8 and 10 per cent since the SARS outbreak, according to James Lu, executive director of the Hong Kong Hotels Association.
That's prompted the Peninsula to slash prices and offer packages around $HK3300 ($677) for two nights, a third off the regular rate even before you figure in the gratis Rolls-Royce rides - both ways - and other goodies.
But anybody seeking luxury at a discount might be disappointed if they thought they could hobnob with movie stars and tycoons on the cheap.
The Peninsula lobby was half deserted during one recent lunch hour. "The hotel used to be packed with people before the SARS outbreak, but now it's empty," said a frequent shopper to its high-end mall.
Hong Kong is reeling from SARS, which has infected nearly 1600 people and killed at least 157, while bringing much economic activity to a halt in this fast-paced, high-priced hub of extravagance and glamour.
The rich may be immune to recessions, as the saying goes, but merchants who peddle high-priced goods in Hong Kong say they're being squeezed mercilessly by the crisis.
"It's a double hit," said Kate Kelly, spokeswoman for the Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels Ltd, which owns the Peninsula. "On top of visitors not coming in, we are also seeing local residents not eating out as much."
Chan Shuk-fong, assistant executive director of the Federation of Hong Kong Hotel Owners, said occupancy rates at most hotels had plunged to single digits from the usual 80 to 90 per cent for March and April.
"We're hugely disappointed," Chan said. "Now even mainland tourists are not coming."
Operators can't remember anything like the damage - with no end in sight.
Business was being hit by an economic slowdown and the war in Iraq before SARS exploded as a local crisis that deepened after the World Health Organisation told people early in April to avoid Hong Kong.
Most posh hotels are ordering staff to take unpaid leave, telling them to come back when the customers do. If they do.
"What do you do when you have only, say, 10 per cent occupancy?" Lu said. "What do you need the staff there for?"
It's not just fancy hotels that have lost their lustre.
"This disease is killing us," said Gary Lai, a salesman at The Pearl Shop in the Tsim Sha Tsui tourist district. Lai has lots of pearls and gems - but not a customer in sight.
He's worried about his job.
Hong Kong is famous for some of the best Chinese food in the world and some of the most expensive - bowls of sharks fin soup can cost $HK620 ($130) each, birds nests that can cost $HK500 and abalone that fetches as much as $HK10,000.
But there are no takers among the rows of dried seafood shops lining the streets of the Sheung Wan district.
"These days, I can't even earn enough to pay the rent," said Ho Xun-chuen, owner of the Indonesia Swallow's Nest Company, a wholesale specialist.
Ho said turnover used to be up to $HK100,000 a day, but has plummeted to almost nothing since the SARS outbreak. Most of his customers were from mainland China, but none had shown up recently, Ho said.
Dried seafood dealer Dicky Suen has slashed prices by up to 20 per cent for abalone and sharks fin, but said business was off by 60 per cent at his shop.
Scared gourmets have stayed home and shunned eating out, leaving top Chinese restaurants deserted.
"No tourists are coming to Hong Kong any more, and our regular patrons are also scared to dine out," said a supervisor at the Fook Lam Moon Restaurant, which is famed for its sharks fin soup with crab roe. Business at Fook Lam Moon has dropped 70 per cent, Ho said. "With so many new cases of SARS reported everyday, how will people dare to come and eat?"
Forum Restaurant - opened by Hong Kong's "Abalone King" Yeung Koon-yat - another favourite joint of tycoons and celebrities, has seen business at least halved since the outbreak.
The posh restaurant typically sells almost 1000 abalone a month - at eye-popping prices that can run dinner bills into the thousands of dollars.
"This is the first time I've seen business this bad in the industry," said manager To Chi-ming - a 20-year veteran of the industry. "Business is down everywhere. It's not just us."

Thanks to everyone who came out to hang with Kotaku and friends of Kotaku at the Kotaku/Samsung BlizzCon party last Friday. The Samsung Blue drinks were flowing, the food kept coming, and the new Samsung 950 Series 3D LED Monitors were incredible. Not even the zombies that escaped from the haunted house across the street could stop 12 feet plus of Kotaku editorial staff from hanging with readers and BlizzCon-ers at Heat Ultra Lounge. Gamers even got a sneak peek at Diablo III.
Check out the gallery of photos from the party, and send your congratulations to Richard Moreno, Ef Rodriguez, and Chris Del Castillo, winners of a Samsung 950 Series 3D LED Monitor each for getting the most retweets at #samsung950series!

What do you get the man or woman who has everything?
What about a symmetrical object which only exists in an infinite dimensional hyperspace beyond our own three-dimensional universe.
And if you still need convincing – it will raise money for a good cause.
The shapes have been discovered by an Oxford mathematician and he has already named one in honour of The Queen to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee.
Now professor Marcus du Sautoy, of Oxford University's Mathematical Institute, will sell the naming rights to other shapes to raise money for charity.
The Queen does not "own" the shape since it lies in mathematical infinite dimensional hyperspace, but Prof du Sautoy will instead be presenting her with a certificate describing in mathematical language the contours of her latest gift.
He said: "Unlike bell towers, ocean liners and Olympic Parks this creation will stand the test of time because mathematical discoveries last forever.
"I hope this initiative will give the public a chance not only to get involved in mathematics but also to join The Queen in hyperspace to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee."
Prof du Sautoy is the Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science and has appeared in a number of TV programmes including Horizon and The Story of Maths.
For the record, The Queen's new object is Set [C[1], C[2], C[3], C[4]]=[1952,2012,60,1] which corresponds to an elliptic curve of conductor 20779051082713382720.
The contours of this new shape, which is called The Diamond Jubilee Group, encode three important numbers: 1952, the year of The Queen's accession to the throne, 2012, the current year, and 60 – the years she has reigned.
Prof du Sautoy has discovered a number of symmetrical shapes in hyperspace.
Symmetry is considered to be one of the most important concepts in science. The diamond gets its strength from the symmetry of the arrangement of carbon atoms while the symmetry of a flower is key to attracting bees.
Particles being hunted in the Large Hadron Collider in CERN were discovered because of their underlying symmetries.
To name a symmetrical object visit maths.ox.ac.uk/naming_ symmetries. Money raised will go to Common Hope which helps children and their families in Guatemala.

Greece is a member of the Schengen Agreement.
Nationals of EU and EFTA (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland) countries only need a valid national identity card or passport for entry - in no case will they need a visa for a stay of any length.
Nationals of non-EU/EFTA countries will generally need a passport for entry to a Schengen country and most will need a visa.
These non-EU/EFTA visa-free visitors may not stay more than 90 days in a 180 day period in the Schengen Area as a whole and, in general, may not work during their stay (although some Schengen countries do allow certain nationalities to work - see below). The counter begins once you enter any country in the Schengen Area and is not reset by leaving a specific Schengen country for another Schengen country, or vice-versa. However, New Zealand citizens may be able to stay for more than 90 days if they only visit particular Schengen countries - see for the New Zealand Government's explanation.
If you are a non-EU/EFTA national (even if you are visa-exempt, unless you are Andorran, Monégasque or San Marinese), make sure that your passport is stamped both when you enter and leave the Schengen Area. Without an entry stamp, you may be treated as an overstayer when you try to leave the Schengen Area; without an exit stamp, you may be denied entry the next time you seek to enter the Schengen Area as you may be deemed to have overstayed on your previous visit. If you cannot obtain a passport stamp, make sure that you retain documents such as boarding passes, transport tickets and ATM slips which may help to convince border inspection staff that you have stayed in the Schengen Area legally.
Note that
However, all British Overseas Territories citizens except those solely connected to the Cyprus Sovereign Base Areas are eligible for British citizenship and thereafter unlimited access to the Schengen Area.
Further note that
(*) nationals of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia need a biometric passport to enjoy visa-free travel,
(**) Serbian nationals with passports issued by the Serbian Coordination Directorate (residents of Kosovo with Serbian passports) do need a visa and
(***) Taiwan nationals need their ID number to be stipulated in their passport to enjoy visa-free travel.
Citizens of Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Mauritius, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Seychelles are permitted to work in Greece without the need to obtain a visa or any further authorisation for the period of their 90 day visa-free stay. However, this ability to work visa-free does not necessarily extend to other Schengen countries.

The Ukiah Valley Fire Authority responded to a fire in Gibson Creek near the Orchard Plaza Shopping Center Wednesday morning.
The fire was reported around 8:20 a.m. July 16 and was located in the creek bed just east of the large culvert underneath South Orchard Avenue that homeless residents often occupy.
UVFA Capt. Jeff Adair said the fire was originally reported as a debris fire, but he found no evidence of a "rubbish pile, just vegetation burning."
Adair said the official cause is undetermined, but it could have been a warming fire. He said it was not likely caused by a tossed cigarette, since "the humidity was too high" for that Wednesday morning.
A large amount of human waste and trash was recently cleaned out of the culvert, and another area, part of Orr Creek along Ford Street, was cleaned up last month.
A nearby resident recently reportedly that the area cleaned up in Orr Creek is already full of mattresses and trash again

I would like to bake a small 8" round cake with a 3D caterpillar on it. I am rocking my head how to make the caterpillar, what to use. As it will be a smash cake I don't want to use fondant. Do you think if I mash cake scraps with icing together and form a small ball (about 2") it will hold it's shape to decorate/pipe over it? I would like to put the head on top of the first body ball, but I am not sure how it would hold together. Any ideas? I was also thinking maybe use RKT but I never worked with it... any help what else is out there round and small about 2 inch I could use and pipe over it?? Thank you so much

What happened to the old "X is a [male/female] in [place]"?Without ranks anymore (Lord/Lady, Duke/Dutchess, Prince/Princess, King/Queen), it can be difficult to determine the gender of a user and assumptions are made, especially by/of new users. Can there be an icon option somewhere so we don't need to guess?
Yeah lots of girls play. But i think he means that overall it is guys..
I dunno, if people can create horribly long and garish bios on their profiles, perhaps it isn't a stretch to let the user decide to hint at his/her gender in their bio in whatever way he/she sees fit. I don't think there needs to be a dropdown menu for this sort of thing, it's rather redundant if you have unlimited words in your bio.
