Abstract: In recent years extensive research has opened challenging issues for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) deployment. Among numerous challenges faced while designing architectures and protocols, maintaining connectivity and maximizing the network lifetime stand out as critical considerations. WSNs are formed by a large number of resource-constrained and inexpensive nodes, which has an impact on protocol design and network scalability. Sensor networks have enabled a range of applications where the objective is to observe an environment and collect information about the observed phenomena or events. This has lead to the emergence of a new generation sensor networks called sensor actuator networks. Approaches developed to query sensor-actuator networks (SANETs) are either application-specific or generic. Application-specific SANETs provide limited reusability, are net cost effective and may require extensive programming efforts to make the network able to serve new applica!
tions. A WSNs should be able to operate for long time with little or no external management. The sensor nodes must be able to configurate themselves in the presence of adverse situations. In this work, dealing with challenges for WSNs deployment, we start with mobility-based communication in WSNs. Then, we introduce service-oriented SANETs (SOSANETs) as an approach to build customizable SANETs. In the second part, we describe localization systems and analyze self configurability, situation awareness and intrusion detection system. In the third part, we present wireless distributed detection as well as a model for WSN simulation. Finally, conclusions and proposals for future research are given.
Keywords: Mobility-based communication, sensor-actuator networks (SANETs), service oriented SANETs (SOSANETs), wireless sensor networks (WSNs).

Abstract: Safer, less expensive, and higher-quality health care can be achieved using clinical decision support (CDS), although the use of CDS often leads to disappointing results. Various problems and limitations can be pointed being the most frequently referred by the physicians the inadequate implementation of the clinical workflow. Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Patient Health Record Systems (PHRS) can play an important role in CDS mitigating those limitations and enabling the effective use of the archived information in the support of the clinical practice and generating the right knowledge to make decisions. The availability of such knowledge is crucial either, for the hospitals and for the government institutions. This brings new requirements for the EHR and PHRS conception and for the use of the information out of the boundaries of the hospitals and health centers. Interoperation and open models constitute the greater challenges that EHR enfaces in the very next!
future. This paper presents a survey on the design, development and implementation of PHRS in terms of organizational, regional, national and worldwide initiatives. Finally is presented the EHR implementation in the Hospital Geral de Santo António, EPE, one of the major hospitals in the North Region of Portugal.

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: Abstract: - In this paper, we deal with the attitude control of a satellite equipped with wheels of reaction, using the static output feedback. In the first part, we set the control and its integral in the state-feedback form. Then, by using the algorithm of Kucera, we establish the necessary and sufficient conditions so that the nonlinear system which models the satellite will be stabilizable by the Static Output Feedback. Thereafter, we present the robust stabilization of the attitude control; this robustness is influenced by the parametric uncertainly of the model and by the input noise in the system. The main results of this paper show that the sufficient conditions for the existence of the robust static output feedback control can stabilize the studied system. The controller proposed here is based upon a generalization of Gronwall's lemma.

Abstract: Automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) is a pattern recognition application of great importance for access, traffic surveillance and law enforcement. Therefore many studies are concentrated on creating new algorithms or improving their performance. Many authors have presented algorithms that are based on individual methods such as skeleton features, neural networks or template matching for recognizing the license plate symbols. In this paper we present a novel approach for decisional fusion of several recognition methods, as well as new classification features. The classification results are proven to be significantly better that those obtained for each method considered individually. For better results, syntax corrections are also considered. Several trainable and non-trainable decisional fusion rules have been taken into account, evidencing each of the classification methods at their best. Experimental results are shown, the results being very encouraging by !
obtaining a symbol good recognition rate (GRC) of more than 99.4\% on a real license plate database.

Abstract: Automatic sea floor characterization is mainly based on the signal or image processing of the data acquired using an active acoustic system called sediment sonar. Each processing method suits a specific type of sonar, such as the monobeam, the multibeam, or the side-scan sonar. Most types of sonar offer a two dimensional view of the sea floor surface. Therefore, a high resolution image results which can be further analyzed. The inconvenient is that the sonar cannot view inside of the sea floor for a deeper analysis. Therefore, lower frequency acoustic systems are used for in-depth sea floor penetration (boomer, sparker, airguns or sub-bottom profilers). In this case, a mono dimensional signal results. Previous studies on the low-frequency systems are mainly based on the visual inspection by a geological human expert. To automatize this process, we propose the use of feature sets based on the transposed expert fuzzy reasoning. Two features are extracted, the first !
based on the sea floor contour and the second based on the sub-bottom sediment texture.

Abstract: The paper presents a concrete case of an actual aircraft electric power system analysis. Using the Boolean logical structures we define a conceptual fault tree. The fault tree will express all the combination of factors that can lead to system failure in the onboard electric system. The further on analysis rely on AND – OR logic elements, and the goal is to improve the fault-tolerance behavior of the system. The examples and numeric figures are for a c.c. electric power system of an operational aircraft.

Abstract: Existing environmental assessment methods attempt to measure improvements in the environmental performance of buildings relative to current typical practice or requirements. The assumption is that by continually improving the environmental performance of individual buildings, the collective reduction in resource use and ecological loadings by the building industry will be sufficient to fully address the environmental agenda. The choice of the term 'green building assessment' is seen as a useful term to convey this intent. Several environmental methodologies and methods for evaluating environmental performance of buildings are being currently developed. In a global scale it is worth mentioning SB (Sustainable Building) Tool, formerly known as GB Tool (Green Building Tool) which is an international project coordinated from Canada, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) a method developed in the USA with a world wide application and CASBEE (Comprehensive!
Assessment System for Building Environmental Efficiency), a method developed in Japan. In Europe, some of the most frequently used include BREEAM (Building Research Establish Environmental Assessment Method) in the UK and also it is worth mentioning the HQE (High Environmental Quality) developed in France during the last decade and the VERDE method developed recently in Spain (Maria Sinou 2006). In this paper several method will be discuss and will become main references for developing Sustainable building Tool for Malaysia.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to discuss the method of modeling and control system design for a loitering aircraft of aileron-less folding wing. A nonlinear model of the aircraft was established, and then linearized by small disturbance method. The lateral-directional stability augmentation options were analyzed through the root locus plots. The pole placement method based on linear quadratic regulator (LQR) technology was used to achieve desirable dynamic characteristics. In the analysis, the state parameters which represent rapid oscillation states of the aircraft such as roll rate and yaw rate were set as primary control parameters in the inner loop. The states oscillated slowly such as rolling angle and yaw angle were set as main control parameters in the outer loop. Based on the self-organizing fuzzy control algorithm, the aircraft can be controlled to fly in a desired path. Two types of course control plan were investigated and verified. The results show that !
the control plans are feasible and the control system is adequately robust to meet the requirements of the course control.

Abstract: The static Transfer Switch (STS) is a network reconfiguring device and is used for power quality improvement of sensitive loads. It selects, at high speeds, between two or more sources of power and provides the best available power to the sensitive load. This paper presents fundamentals of solid state STS with a detailed emphasis on power quality disturbance recognition scheme, as it is responsible for fast and accurate detection of disturbances, thereby ensuring healthy transfer of load to an alternate source. Extensive simulations are carried out for investigating the performance of rather commonly employed detection scheme. The behavior of detection scheme is analyzed against various types of disturbance scenarios including system transients.

Abstract: - The purpose of our research is to find algorithms for loading large maps on PDA and place on it the geographical location given by latitude and longitude. C++ and C# programming languages have been used for implementation. It was elaborated a software which runs on PDA with Windows Mobile 2003 OS and implements algorithms for finding the coordinate on a map represented like a TIF image. The application must localize the coordinates known by longitude and latitude over a given image in TIF format which can represent a map with scale 1:200000 or 1:25000. The map headers contain information that refers to map limit. An algorithm that permits map synchronization when the value of current map is out of limit it was necessary.

Abstract: In this paper, an evaluation of the network routing algorithms is made. Problems that arise in routing are treated, each presented in different scenarios in order to obtain a result in comparing different topologies. The comparison analysis is pursuing obtaining a result over the performance of the network. In order to measure performance, the costs of a network and the delays are aimed. After that, the topology effect is presented. In matter of performance, topology and blocking problems are strongly related. So an analysis of the blocking probability is also presented. As conclusions, solutions for the presented scenarios and also for other important scenarios are given. In all these algorithms the time problem was not yet consider until now, so the average execution time is finally analyzed.
Keywords: multicast, unicast, routing algorithm, evaluation, traffic, topology, cost, delay, capacity, load, execution time.

Abstract: Most CMPs use on-chip network to connect cores and tend to integrate more simple cores on a single die. As the number of cores increases, the on-chip network will play an important role in the performance of future CMPs. Due to the tradeoff between the performance and area constraint in on-chip network designs, we propose the use of triplet-based topology in on-chip interconnection networks and demonstrate how a 9-node triplet-based topology can be mapped to on-chip network. By using group-caching protocol to exploit traffic locality, triplet-based topology offers lower latency and energy consumption than 2D-MESH. We run multithreaded commercial benchmarks on multi-core simulator GEMS to generate practical traffics and simulate these traffics on network simulator Garnet. Our experiment results show that triplet-based network can increase the work-related throughput by 3%~11% and reduce average network latency by 24%~32% compared with 2D-MESH, with the router energy!
consumption reduced by 13%~16% and the link energy consumption reduced by 14%~16%.

Abstract: Constraint handling is one of the most difficult parts encountered in practical engineering design optimizations. Different kinds of methods were proposed for handling constraints namely, genetic algorithm, self-adaptive penalty approach and other evolutionary algorithms. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) efficiently solved most nonlinear optimization problems with inequity constraints. This study hybridizes PSO with a meta-heuristic algorithm called Tabu Search (TS) to solve the same engineering design problems. The algorithm starts with a population of particles or solution generated randomly and is updated using the update equations of PSO. The updated particles are then subjected to Tabu Search for further refinement. The PSO algorithm handles the global search for the solution while TS facilitates the local search. With embedded hyrbridization, this study which we call PSO-TS, showed better results compared to algorithms reported in Hu et al's study as applied!
to four benchmark engineering problems. Specifically, this study beat the results of Coello, Deb and Hu.

Title of the Paper: design and analyse of silicon carbide jfet based inverter

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: This paper presents the design and testing of a high frequency, high efficiency inverter using silicon carbide (SiC) JFET power module. A rugged negative voltage gate drive circuit is used to solve the normally on problem of JFET devices and avoid the bridge shot-through during power on or power off. The circuit can provide over-voltage protection, over current protection and over temperature protection circuits to ensure the safe operation of the SiC JFET module and the resultant inverter system. The simulation and measurement results show that SiC JFETs have short turn-on and turn-off times, which will result in lower switching losses than silicon (Si) IGBTs. The low on-resistance in SiC JFETs will result in lower conduction losses. The experiment results of a 1kW SiC JFET-based inverter showed 3% efficiency improvement by a SiC JFET-based inverter over a Si IGBT- based inverter.

Abstract: In order to detect and identify the defects on GIS, the ultra-high frequency envelope detection circuit and high-speed data acquisition system was designed, and the tests of five typical defects for GIS were made in the laboratory and the envelope signal was acquired based on Ultra-high frequency (UHF) envelop detection circuit. And wavelet denoising technique was used to reduce the white noise of the measurement envelop signal. A large number of experiments show that time-domain characteristics of partial discharge signals generated by the same defect model are about the same, envelopes are nearly identical too. The time-domain characteristics of partial discharge signals generated by different defect models are different, and their envelope shapes are different too. A new method of pattern recognition was proposed which analyses the characteristic parameters of the envelope signal at time-domain with BP neural network. A large number of test data in Lab indicate !
that the method is effective.

Abstract: Incomplete and noisy data significantly distort data mining results. Therefore, taking care of missing values or noisy data becomes extremely crucial in data mining. Recent researches start to exploit data clustering techniques to estimate missing values. Obviously the quality of clustering analysis significantly influences the performance of missing data estimation. It was proven that clustering problem is NP-hard. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is the recently suggested heuristic search process for solving data clustering problems. In this paper, a compounded PSO (CPSO) clustering approach is proposed for the missing value estimation. Normalization methods are first utilized to filter outliers and prevent some attributes from dominating the clustering result. Then the K-means algorithm and reflex mechanism are combined with the standard PSO clustering so that it can quickly converge to a reasonable good solution. Meanwhile, an iteration-based filling-in value !
scheme is utilized to guide the searching of CPSO clustering for the optimal estimate values. Effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated on some data sets for four different rates of missing data. The empirical evaluation shows the superiority of CPSO over the well known K-means, PSO, and SOM-based approaches, and it is desirable for solving missing value problems.

Abstract: The subject of this paper is a study of the influence of the inertial sensors errors on the position, speed and attitude of a bidimensional strap-down inertial navigation system in a horizontal plane. The MATLAB/SIMULINK models used for the acceleration and rotation sensors are based on the sensors data sheets and on the IEEE equivalent models for the inertial sensors. The models can be used in the numerical simulation of the strap-down inertial navigation system, close by real conditions from the point of view of the distortions suffered by the useful acceleration and rotation signals at the passing through any type of accelerometers or gyros desired to be implemented in the navigator. These models have the advantage to work independent from each of the sensors' errors and thus to study their influence on the inertial navigator.

Abstract: This study considers the propagation of a gravity current of a Newtonian (fresh water) or a non-Newtonian liquid (dilute solutions of polyethyleneoxide) with density ƒâ, initial speed U and height h upon the free surface of an ambient liquid (salty water) with density ƒâ+ƒ´ƒâƒn at rest in a basin. The investigation is performed in a three dimensional configuration. With the help of the spatiotemporal diagrams technique, we measured the time evolution of the progress x, the spreading y of the lighter liquid into denser liquid and the mixing layer z. These evolutions have been characterized by scaling laws.

Title of the Paper: A novel robust facial expression recognition approach
Authors as they appear in the Paper: Luo Jianguo
Email addresses of all the authors: zytong@mailst.xjtu.edu.cn
Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: Many facial expression recognition approaches have been suggested in various applications. Robustness becomes more and more important for these applications especially in security systems. This paper proposes a novel robust facial expression recognition approach based on robust minimax probability machine (RMPM). By addressing the issue of robustness with respect to estimation errors in the means and covariance matrices via a simple modification of the input data, it can guarantee that the test set accuracy (TSA) is always greater than the estimated low bound for the RMPM. The experiments illustrate that the RMPM-based recognition approach outperforms the MPM-based approach.
Keywords: minimax probability, robust, facial expression, recognition.

Abstract: Detecting network intrusions has been yet difficult job in network security. Intrusion detection system aim to identify attacks detection with a high detection rate and a low false alarm rate. Given these requirements of todays network environments, IDS needs to be developed. In this paper, Scatter Search Clustering(SSC) with intrusion detection will be presented. SSC is a new direction to solve clustering problems which based on a well known evolutionary algorithms called Scatter Search (SS). This algorithm has the capability to determined the number of clusters and cluster centers. The result of simulation run on intrusion data set shows that SSC is an effective for intrusion detection

Abstract: Abstract: - This paper has studied techniques for building system configuration, control architecture and implementation of a vision-based wheeled mobile robot. The completed WMR has been built with the dead-reckoning method so as to determine the vehicle¡¦s velocity and posture by the numerical differentiation/integration over short travelling. The developed PID controllers show good transient performances, that is, velocity of right and left wheels can track the commands quickly and correctly. Moreover, the path tracking control laws have been also executed in the DSP-based controller in the WMR. The image-recognized system can obtain motion information 15 [frames/sec] by using H-S model, which is one of the well-known color detection methods. The better performance a vision system has, the more successful the control laws design. The WMR obtains its posture from the dead-reckoning device together with the vision system. Finally, we integrate these subsystems an!
d complete the operators of the whole system. This complementing wheeled mobile robot system can be thought of as a platform for testing various tracking control laws and signal filtering method. To solve the problem of position/orientation tracking control of the WMR, two kinematical optimal nonlinear predictive control laws are developed to manipulate the vehicle to asymptotically follow the desired trajectories. A Kalman filtering scheme is used to reduce the bad effect of the imagine nose, thereby improving the accuracy of pose estimation. The experimental system is composed of a wireless RS232 modem, a DSP-based controller for the wheeled mobile robot and a vision system with a host computer. A computation-effective and high-performance DSP-based controller is constructed for executing the developed sophisticated path tracking laws. Simulation and experimental results are included to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control laws.

Abstract: A more accurate and numerically efficient Transmission Line model is proposed for a bow-tie microstrip patch antenna to include the effect of flare angle of nonradiating edges on the antenna characteristics. A comparison between MoM, Moussakhani Transmission Line model and proposed Transmission Line model show that the results of VSWR, return loss and resonant frequency obtained from the proposed model has a better agreement with results obtained by Advance Design System which uses MoM even for large range of flare angles compared to Moussakhani Transmission Line model.

Abstract: This paper presents new solution methods and results based on a refined binary particle swarm optimization (RBPSO) for solving the generation/pumping scheduling problem within the power system operation with pumped-storage units. The proposed RBPSO approach combines a basic particle swarm optimization (PSO) with binary encoding/decoding techniques. Complete solution algorithms and encoding/decoding techniques are proposed in the paper. The optimal schedules of both pumped-storage and thermal units are concurrently obtained within the evolutionary process of evaluation functions. Significantly, no hydro-thermal iteration is needed. The proposed approach is applied with success to an actual utility system, which consists of four pumped-storage units and 34 thermal units. The results indicate the attractive properties of the RBPSO approach in practical application, namely, a highly optimal solution cost and more robust convergence behavior.

Title of the Paper: Identifying Appropriate Methodologies and Strategies for Vertical Mining with Incomplete Data

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: Many data mining methods are dependent on recognizing frequent patterns. Frequent patterns lead to the discovery of association rules, strong rules, sequential episodes, and multi-dimensional patterns. All can play a critical role in helping corporate and scientific institutions to understand and analyze their data. Patterns should be discovered in time and space efficient manner. Discovered patterns have authentic value when they accurately describe data trends; and, do not exclusively reflect noise or chance encounters. Vertical data mining algorithms key advantage is that they can outperform their horizontal counterparts in terms of both time and space efficiency. Little work has addressed how incomplete data influences vertical data mining. Consequently, the quality and utility of vertical mining algorithms results remains ambiguous as real data sets often contain incomplete data. This paper considers how to establish methodologies that deal with incomplete dat!
a in vertical mining; additionally, it seeks to develop strategies for determining the maximal utilization that can be mined from a dataset based on how much and what data is missing.

Abstract: While much of the prior studies on Information system (IS) adoption and usage continuance have examined cognitive factors, the emotion factors in understanding and predicting user behavior remained relatively unexplored. This study proposed a hybrid model that integrates emotion, cognition, satisfaction, and post adoption behavior in order to obtain a better understanding of users¡¦ continuance intention of IS. Three hundred and eighteen Blackboard Learning System (BLS) users were obtained from a survey. The paper assessed the psychometric properties of the measures through confirmatory factor analysis and then employed structural equation modeling analysis in order to examine the prospective model to better predict users¡¦ continuous adoption of IS. The results show that positive and negative emotions mediate the effect of confirmation and directly predict user satisfaction. However, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use predict the level of user satisfac!
tion better than emotions and perceived usefulness is the stronger predictor of user satisfaction than other variables

Abstract: An interactive pareto optimal with advantage (IPOA) approach for bi-objective programming is proposed and applied on capacitor placement and sizing problem. Two main contradictory concerned which including cost and quality properties are considered as bi-objective programming formulation. The IPOA approach can provide a valuable trade-off pareto-optimal solution by following the intention of decision makers (DMs). Many nonlinear characteristics of distribution feeders, and their load, operating and expansion constraints could be all considered for practical operation. Also, both fixed and switched types of capacitors are included. The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed approach were demonstrated by an actual feeder study systematically with particle swarm optimization method. The experiment showed encouraging results, suggesting that the proposed approach was capable of efficiently determining higher quality solutions about distribution planning problem.

Title of the Paper: Real-Time Face Detection using Dynamic Background Subtraction

Abstract: Face biometrics is an automated method of recognizing a person's face based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic. Face recognition works by first obtaining an image of a person. This process is usually known as face detection. In this paper, we describe an approach for face detection that is able to locate a human face embedded in an outdoor or indoor background. Segmentation of novel or dynamic objects in a scene, often referred to as background subtraction or foreground segmentation, is a critical early step in most computer vision applications in domains such as surveillance and human-computer interaction. All previous implementations aim to handle properly one or more problematic phenomena, such as global illumination changes, shadows, highlights, foreground-background similarity, occlusion and background clutter. Satisfactory results have been obtained but very often at the expense of real-time performance. We propose a method for modeling the backg!
round that uses per-pixel time-adaptive Gaussian mixtures in the combined input space of pixel color and pixel neighborhood. We add a safety net to this approach by splitting the luminance and chromaticity components in the background and use their density functions to detect shadows and highlights. Several criteria are then combined to discriminate foreground and background pixels. Our experiments show that the proposed method possesses robustness to problematic phenomena such as global illumination changes, shadows and highlights, without sacrificing real-time performance, making it well-suited for a live video event like face biometric that requires face detection and recognition.

Abstract: Causal and effect analysis influences the effectiveness of decision-making and the consumer behaviour. The complex relationship between cause and effect as well as the fuzzy nature of human life make the casual and effect analysis difficult. This research applies a fuzzy DEMATEL method for group decision-making to gather group ideas and analyze the cause and effect relationship of complex problems in fuzzy environments. Procedures of the fuzzy DEMATEL method are presented. Using the fuzzy DEMATEL procedures, a set of service quality criteria involved are separated into the cause and effect groups for helping decision-makers focus on those criteria that provide great influence. An empirical study applies the fuzzy DEMATEL method to the service quality expectation of Taiwanese leisure farms. This study used purpose sampling, a total of 215 valid instruments collected from Beijing tourists¡¦ perception on service quality. The result and contribution are discussed.

Abstract: Image registration and fusion are conducted with an automated approach, which applies the automatic adaptation from frame to frame with the threshold parameters. Rather than qualitative approach, quantitative measures have been proposed to evaluate outcomes of retina image fusion. Concepts of the discrete entropy, discrete energy, relative entropy, mutual information, uncertainty coefficient and information redundancy have been introduced. Both the Canny edge detector and control point identification are employed to extract retinal vasculature using the adaptive exploratory algorithms. The shape similarity criteria have been selected for control point matching. The Mutual-Pixel-Count maximization based optimal procedure has also been developed to adjust the control points at the sub-pixel level. Then the global maxima equivalent result has been derived by calculating Mutual-Pixel-Count local maxima. For two cases of image fusion practices, the testing results are e!
valuated on a basis of information theories where the satisfactory outcomes have been made.

Abstract: Applications of virtual reality and augmented reality have been proposed for engineering education. Cases on some electrical and mechanical systems have been studied. Virtual reality is a technology which allows people to interact directly with the computerized virtual environment. Based on computerized models, augmented reality is achieved by combining the additional virtual information with the real information, so that the augmented scene can be generated. Both techniques will enhance pattern recognition accuracy for electrical and mechanical systems, such as target identification and spectroscopic object recognition. Compared with conventional course instruction of image processing and signal processing, both techniques will significantly broaden the academic background of student learning with better understanding of theoretical methodologies. In addition, these techniques have the great potential to be successfully integrated with the education based software!
programs and hardware tools to improve pedagogical methods, such as the Matlab and Simulink, which can be used for data analysis, numerical simulation and advanced computing. Some practical examples in electrical and mechanical systems have been presented in the article.

Abstract: Some practical approaches have been introduced and applied for control engineering education. Compared with conventional lecturing and laboratory exercising, instructing outcomes can be improved significantly. Two independent sets of experimental instruments from Feedback Instruments Limited are selected to conduct experiments on a basis of the fundamental control theories. Matlab has been used for data analyzing, simulation, plotting and programming. Simulink is also employed to implement numerical simulations for advanced control practices. For practical control problems in real time, such as robotic control and engine control, Labview can be applied considering its advantages of the graphical user interface design and block diagram approach. In particular, its 33-110 servo system has been selected, which consists of three components: mechanical unit, analogue unit and digital unit. The 150 servo system contains a number of major discrete component units. Both sy!
stems can be used to test the fundamental control principles, such as the PID control. Some examples to improve classes at the system and control laboratory are presented, using software or hardware instructing tools such as the Matlab, Simulink and Labview.

Abstract: Abstract: - This study shows that there exist solutions to the seven main indeterminate forms that are raised in the world of mathematics . Some limits of functions are said to be indeterminate when merely knowing the limiting behaviour of individual parts of expression is not sufficient to actually determine the overall limit .There will be a study of a certain typical number whereas, if a variable x tends to a certain value (eventually equal to + or - ) , a certain function Ã(x) does not have an apparent limit from the first view . To eliminate the indetermination ( or looking for the right value of à ( ) , is to find this limit if it exists .
Keywords: Infinity , Indeterminate, Equivalent Infinitely Large Principal , Equivalent Infinitely Small Principal , Limit , Function .

Abstract: Quality function deployment (QFD) is a valuable method that provides a means of translating customer needs into the appropriate technical requirements for each stage of detailed operations in product development and production. During the QFD implement process, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been used to determine the relative importance weights between criteria or the relationship between the row and column variables of each matrix. However, the AHP has the limit with its independence assumptions, which is a special case of the Analytic Network Process (ANP). The ANP is a mu1tiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) method used to derive relative priority from individual judgments, which can deal with all kinds of dependences systematically. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to develop an effective decision-making method based on QFD and ANP approach to help for making better decisions of planning or evaluation problems. Also, an empirical example is presen!
ted to illustrate the application of the proposed method.

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: Survival in a continuously changing market depends on its development and not on diversification of the present supply. In this context, to be entrepreneurial is equivalent with having the capacity to create new products that will motivate consumers. The entrepreneur is defined as "somebody who starts his own business of small dimensions." It is a mistake to assume that the entrepreneurial system and innovation are natural and spontaneous phenomena. The good aspect is that the entrepreneurial system can be learnt. This means that the firm has to be receptive to innovation and perceive the change as an opportunity not as a threat. It is believed that the entrepreneurial system is very risky. The eco-businesses are poorly represented in Romania, in comparison with the average of EU. The increase of weight of eco-industries is among the development objectives in medium and long run. Romania has to implement a plan of 28 actions for promotion of eco-technologies and i!
ncrease their competitiveness. There continue to exist obstacles in the manner of the expansion of eco- market such as the still low-scale production, a reduced range of products, higher prices (up to 150 % more) than for standard products, low level of consumer information and low promotion level. In spite of all these aspects it is a great potential in the medium and long term. An exploratory research was carried out in order to evaluate the state of Romanian ecological producers. The survey had 18 questions. The aim of this exploratory research is to offer information for the set-up of a new eco-business. The Romanian eco-businesses understood the necessity of development and implementation of the latest patterns in order to assure a sustainable development of the business. The entrepreneurs are conscious about the poor state of it in comparison with other European companies.

Abstract: Thermodynamic modelling is a crucial factor in the simulation of the dynamic operation of the reciprocating piston compressors. Their study requires the analytical knowledge of the properties of the refrigerant from the energy and thermodynamics points of view as well as that of the mechanics of fluids. The simple model suggested allows, on the one hand predicting the performances of the compressor and on the other hand, to determine the variables of states of the evolving fluid.

Abstract: The negative impact of waste on the environment is a general awareness leading academic and industrial sectors to look increasingly to the development of biodegradable polymers more environmentally friendly. This study focuses on the polystyrene matrix composites and micro loads of vegetable origin: spruce sawdust and cellulose microcrystal. The latter are obtained by extracting the cellulose from flour spruce. The composite samples were prepared by injection. The particle size analysis made it possible to determine the size of the charges and to highlight the effectiveness of treatment extraction. Analysis of microstructural changes was followed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and morphology by scanning electron microscopy. The mechanical behavior and tensile strength were studied before and after hydrothermal aging.

Abstract: Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics helps to estimate corrections to the entropy and energy of the fluid with heat flux in terms of the nonequilibrium distribution function, f. This leads to the coefficients of wave model of heat: relaxation time, propagation speed and thermal inertia. With these data a quadratic Lagrangian and a variational principle of Hamilton's type follows for the fluid in the field representation of fluid's motion. We analyze canonical conservation laws and show the satisfaction of the second law under the constraint of these conservation laws.

Abstract: Land co-application of biosolids and WTR is a new concept. Therefore, information on the effect of co-application of biosolids and WTR on plant growth and elements uptake are very limited especially in alkaline soils. A glasshouse experiments was established to evaluate the effects of co-application of WTR and biosolids on agronomic performance of wheat crop grown in alkaline soils as well as P and Al plant concentration and uptake, and to improve management of industrial and toxic wastes and provides environmentally sound guidelines for their disposal. The results indicated that increases of 47, 359 and 55 % in total dry matter yield were achieved as a result of applying 40 gkg-1 WTR and 10 gkg-1 biosolids to clay, sandy and calcareous soils respectively. In all studied soils treated with a constant biosolid rate 10 gkg-1, application of 20 gkg-1 WTR significantly increased plant P concentration in the plant materials. Combined analyses of all soils ,all treatme!
nts of biosolid and WTR rates studied indicated clearly significant relationships between ABDTPA P concentration and P uptake (r = 0.81, p < 0.001). Application of WTR combined with biosolid showed significant increases in extractable Al in all the soils studied. However, application rates of WTR and biosolid did not increase extractable Al in amended soils beyond 6.06 mg Al kg-1.

Abstract: The 5th generation is envisaged to be a complete network for wireless mobile internet in which it has the capability to offer services that accommodate the application potential requirements without suffering its quality. The ultimate goal of 5G is to realize a real wireless world, which many obstacles from the earlier generations are no longer becoming an issue. This cannot be achieved with a single network service. We propose the Multi-Bandwidth Data Path design by integrating the current existing and future networks for new network architecture of 5G real wireless world. In this paper, we present our proposed architecture and the results of simulation.

Abstract: Cork closures for fine wine bottles are made from the production of the most sustainable of all agro-industries, the one known for the continuous conservation of cork oak forests in the western mediterranean basin. The current use of this raw material for closing recipients containing products for human consumption had always posed to all the need to assess its quality. There are a number of studies regarding the Lead content of cork which have never been compared even though from their crossing remarkably information arises. Here are shown facts and trends about how small are cork Lead contents. This shows that the hypothesis of poisoning by Lead (Saturnism) trough cork is unlikely to be verified with such low concentrations as the ones already measured, both by others in the past as by our own team voltammetric study of cork, the first of its kind.

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: This study proposes a vehicle detection system for identifying the vehicles by locating their headlights and rear-lights in the nighttime road environment. The proposed system comprises of two stages for detecting the vehicles in front of the camera-assisted car. The first stage is a fast automatic multilevel thresholding, which separates the bright objects from the grabbed nighttime road scene images. This proposed automatic multilevel thresholding approach provide the robustness and adaptability for the system to operate on various illuminated conditions at night. Then the extracted bright objects are processed by the second stage ¡V the proposed knowledge-based connected-component analysis procedure, to identify the vehicles by locating their vehicle lights, and estimate the distance between the camera-assisted car and the detected vehicles. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach on vehicle detection at night.

Abstract: In this paper we propose a novel scheme based on a secret sharing to enable Digital Rights Management (DRM) mechanisms in peer to peer (P2P) networks. Our scheme is restricted P2P network and we distinguish into Authenticated Link and Trusted Link to establish P2P environment and the digital content distributed with shared secret group key can be securely protected while only legitimate peers can access the plaintext of digital content. In traditional P2P environment, digital contents are not encrypted among end users. In this study, the content distributed via our proposed scheme is encrypted.

Abstract: A new equalization technique for colour images has been introduced in this paper. The method is based on nth root and nth power equalization approach but with optimization of the mean of the image in different colour channels such as RGB and HSI. The performance of the proposed method has been measured by the means of peak signal to noise ratio. The proposed algorithm has been compared with a classical method, histogram equalization and it will be shown that the proposed method increases the PSNR achieved by the histogram equalization.
Keywords: Image equalization, Iterative nth root equalization, Iterative nth power equalization, Peak signal to noise ratio, Colour space

Abstract: In this work, a high performance face recognition system based on gray level pixel statistic represented by histogram of the face image is introduced. Histogram matching is performed by using the correlation between the histogram of a given face and histograms of the faces in the database. The proposed system gives 100.00% recognition rate on the ORL face database for 240 training faces and 160 test faces. This rate is down to 89% and 93% in the case of conventional eigenfaces and fisherfaces methods respectively. The high correlation between the histograms of the same faces at different resolutions makes the system robust for scale changes.

Abstract: In this work, several data fusion techniques have been employed to improve the performance of the PCA based face recognition system in different colour channels. Median, sum, max, and product rules as well as majority voting technique have been used to improve the recognition performance achieved by using PCA in HSI and YCbCr colour spaces. The system has been tested on well known face databases such as the FERET, Head Pose, Essex University, and Georgia Tech University face databases. Ensemble based approaches improve the performance obtained from different colour channels and the improvement reaches to 9.60% in FERET database.

Title of the Paper: Tabu programming for finding Pareto-optimal solutions

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: A decision making support can be applied to find the Pareto solutions. Multi-criterion tabu programming is a new paradigm for that task. Similarly to rules applied in the genetic programming, tabu programming solves problems by using a tabu algorithm that modifies some computer programs. We consider the multi-criterion problem of task assignment, where both a workload of a bottleneck computer and the cost of system are minimized; in contrast, a reliability of the distributed system is maximized. Furthermore, there are constraints for the performance of the distributed systems and the probability that all tasks meet their deadlines. What is more, constraints related to memory limits and computer locations are imposed on the feasible task assignment. Finally, results of some numerical experiments have been presented.

Abstract: In an uncertain economic decision environment, an expert's knowledge about discounting cash flows consist of a lot of vagueness instead of randomness. Cash amounts and interest rates are usually estimated by using educated guesses based on expected values or other statistical techniques to obtain them. Fuzzy numbers can capture the difficulties in estimating these parameters. In this paper are developed the formulas for the analysis of fuzzy present value, fuzzy equivalent uniform annual value, fuzzy future value, fuzzy benefit-cost ratio, and fuzzy payback period. Then the examined cash flows are expanded to geometric and trigonometric cash flows and using these cash flows fuzzy present value, fuzzy future value, and fuzzy annual value formulas are developed for both discrete compounding and continuous compounding. The fuzzy dynamic programming is applied to the situation where each investment in the set has the following characteristics: the amount to be invested!
has several possible values, and the rate of return varies with the amount invested. Each sum that may be invested represents a distinct level of investment, and the investment therefore has multiple levels. A fuzzy present worth based dynamic programming approach is used. Computer software named FUZDYN is developed for various problems such as alternatives having different lives, different uniform cash flows, and different ranking methods.

Abstract: The performance of solar collectors of conventional design can be base on absorber shape factor by supposing fully developed turbulent flow. A mathematical model has been developed from the energy balance equations of the solar collector system to predict the value of heat transfer coefficient. The Charters correlation has been modified by adding a constant, K. This value is determined by comparing the theoretical efficiency with the efficiency from the experimental data. Since the heat transfer coefficients are temperature dependent, an initial values of the mean temperatures of the glass cover, the plate and the back plate have been approximated which allowed the heat transfer coefficients to be evaluated as a first guess. Iterative procedures have been developed that enabled the absorber¡¦s mean temperatures of the collector to be calculated. The newly calculated mean temperatures were then compared with the initially guessed temperatures. The iterative procedur!
e was repeated until consecutive mean temperature values differed by less than 0.01„aC. This mathematical model can also be applied to other solar collector with different kind of absorber plate in order to get the value of K.

Abstract: This paper describe new ways of observing effects of content presentation and domain knowledge upon navigation behaviors by designing web (hypertext) presentation format that adheres to content design inspired by discourse and text comprehension literature. More specifically logical connections between web pages at macro level for all web sites were constructed meticulously and kept consistent across all three knowledge domains. Twenty undergraduate Psychology students participated in this preliminary study in investigating domain knowledge and content presentation influence on Hypertext (web) site traversal behavior. Classical data analysis (ANOVA) were used to explore these qualitative phenomena. Contrary to our belief expertise difference were not significant for total number of web pages (nodes) visited or overall time spent on each knowledge domain web sites. However, these differences were significantly strong for super-ordinate nodes, nodes with more sema!
ntic (logical) connections and irrelevant nodes.

Abstract: The scope of this work is the complete re-organization of production flow according to the Lean Thinking philosophy for the industrial applications. The complete re-organization implementation of material flow management has been performed through the supermarket sizing which replenishment kanban logic has been adopted. To implement this strategy the goal is to achieve "Interdependent connected Processes" adopting the Pull System methodology in the Just in Time production environment. From the narrow sense the JIT manufacturing philosophy is to produce the right quantity at the right time with the right quantity level. In JIT the production is triggered by a kanban signal, which comes from the costumer order or the master production schedule, the signal then flowing backwards. By implementing JIT concepts in manufacturing, many of the practitioners experience advantages such as shorter lead times, fewer inventories, and higher quality. In the case study, developed !
in the Whirlpool Europe Naples factory, we have a first stage that consists of sizing the amount of "Kanban reintegration" codes, and the second stage in which we have simulated with ARENA and verified the progress of production flow in the hypothesized system, that has underlined the improvement of the business performances and great flexibility

Abstract: The class imbalance problem appears when the number of samples belonging to some classes is very small in comparison with the number in the remaining classes of the dataset. This could lead the minority classes to be missed out on the learning process and, consequently, to converge very slowly. In this paper a comparative empirical study of the class imbalance problem in neural networks is presented.

Abstract: Nowadays, the virtualization technologies are more and more often used in many informatics areas. They are applied for better utilization of existing hardware or software resources, servers' consolidation and for security reasons as well. This article shows the possibility of the virtualization technology usage also in the academic environment as a support of laboratory exercises of two academic courses. The case study is based on the idea of virtualization of the physical computer for lower costs and security reasons. The VMware products are used nowadays in our university and the article want to show other, especially free, alternatives to this commercial product like VirtualBox, Microsoft Virtual PC, XEN etc. Described approaches and techniques can be applied to many others similar subjects, not only in these two courses.

Abstract: This paper presents a real case customized flexible furniture production optimization. Such a make-to-order production must be flexible to meet the customer's needs, which are changing frequently. Hence, a frequent review of the production process is needed to ensure near-optimal production schedule to meet the minimal makespan constraint. In such a case we are confronted with a tradeoff between makespan and optimization runtime to ensure efficient real-time scheduling. The genetic algorithm production scheduling optimization is presented to solve a job shop scheduling problem with recirculation. Several initial population generators, selection methods, and crossover and mutation methods are discussed and tested. The visual model of the furniture production process was developed during the research. Such a model is closer to end-user perception and is used to clarify the results of numerical optimization. It also enables the implementation of end-user's expert know!
ledge into the optimizer to reduce the GA search space with a goal of reducing the runtime to a minimum.

Abstract: The production costs reduction in a highly competitive environment is a critical success factor. In particular, in fields where outsourcing is used frequently and the impact of the material costs is high, a significant cost reduction can be achieved making more efficient value chain. Moreover, the use of outsourcing is a way to adjust production capacity depending on demand. Therefore the coordination and planning of the various rings of the chain and the estimate of the productive capability of the various production units become fundamental for a coherent evaluation of promised delivery times. More and more frequently and in greater detail the Companies at the "end of the network" require, through capacity assessment a verification of the available productive capacity of the manufacturing units, both from a quality and quantity point of view, that each single firm can dedicate to a certain type of production. In this paper it is presented a simulation model tha!
t allows the elaboration of an operative plan of production through the verification of finite capacity scheduling of resources. The model tends to minimize costs of stocking and set-up, considering other production costs as constant. The simulation is a technique that allows the checking with better precision of the use of the resources with variation of the ties. This approach lead to a high performing instrument in the field of the advanced planning and scheduling through analysis of the various possible views. The auxiliary use of the optimizing tool available in the ARENA software allows an optimal solution, confirming the validity of the study of new applications of the simulative instrument for the verification of productive capacity in the short term.

Abstract: This reports shows a proposed simple approach for email classiffication in to two main categories : spam or legitimate .The main idea of this approach is based on Bayesian network using spanning tree. Nowadays many approaches existed in spam detection area that mentioned in this paper.In Bayesian spanning tree except root node, each node has at most two parent nodes .Also for obtaining a subset of attributes that each of them show a word, we used BST(Bayesian Spanning Tree) method to relevant word selections .After measuring performance based on methods that we used we saw good results .Our expreince shows that emails classifying based on Bayesian Spanning Tree has good comparable accuracy in experience

Abstract: This paper proposes an improved vector quantizer (VQ) of line spectrum frequencies (LSF) parameters of the speech signal. In order to obtain reduced distortions, a switched split VQ having higher number of switching directions in the first stage is implemented. The complexity is reduced by using two improvements. First, in the second stage of the switched spilt VQ, the full search procedure is replaced by a faster one, namely the hybrid tree-search full- search encoding procedure. Then, a method that reduces the number of operations within the full search procedure is used. Both these improvements allow finding the nearest neighbor of the input vector. In the design process of the tree-search full-search VQ, the Voronoi cells which intersect with the rectangular cells must be determined. We propose a new method to solve this issue requiring less encoding operations compared to previous work.

Abstract: This paper presents an approach that models programmable logic controllers (PLCs) for their effective deployment in industrial control processes. A working model is developed for automatic allocation of PLCs and formal verification of Ladder Diagram representations of control processes using the SMV (Symbolic Model Verifier) tool. Automatic resource allocation is achieved through the proposition of a digraph model for any Ladder Diagram representation of a control process, which is then translated to an XML model. The required PLC resources needed to implement a control process are extracted from the XML model. These resources are then used by a selection engine to determine from a PLC database the most appropriate PLCs or Embedded Controllers (EBCs) that can satisfy the resource requirements. Additionally, information extracted from the XML model is used to generate a formally verifiable SMV code for the system. Hence the paper focuses on the practical implementat!
ion, testing, and verification of three conceptual modules applied to a control process: The XML Model of the Control Process, the PLC Database Automatic Resource Allocation and the XML-to-SMV translator. The use of PLCs in a continuously increasing number of industries for automation of industrial processes has fueled this work. This endeavor is potentially very useful to practitioners in the PLC industry and is a precursory step in the total automation and formal verification of industrial processes.

Abstract: Abstract: -Dealing with an increasingly volatile organizational environment is a serious challenge for managers of any software development .Traditional formal software development methodologies can be characterized as reflecting linear, sequential processes ,and the related management approaches ,and be effective in development software with stable ,known ,consistent requirements .Yet most real-world development efforts are much more likely to be conducted in more volatile environments, as organizations adapt to changing technology, markets, and social conditions. Requirements for systems must be able to change right along with them, often at "Internet speed" [1]. Project management approaches based on the traditional linear development methodologies are mismatched with such dynamic systems. The support of software quality in a software development process may be regarded under two aspects: first, by providing techniques, which support the development of high qual!
ity software and second, by providing techniques, which assure the required quality attributes in existing artifacts. Both approaches have to be combined to achieve effective and successful software engineering [2]. Agile methods may produce software faster but we also need to know how they meet our quality requirements. In this paper we compare the waterfall model with agile processes to show how agile methods achieve software quality under time pressure and in an unstable requirements environment, i.e. we analyze agile software quality assurance. We present a detailed waterfall model showing its software quality support processes. We then show the quality practices that agile methods have integrated into their processes. This allows us to answer the question "Can agile methods ensure quality even though they develop software faster and can handle unstable requirements?"[3]
Keywords: Agile processes, Extreme Programming, Waterfall model, Software development, Software quality, Customer Satisfactions, Customer needs.

Abstract: In this article, the effect of interference fit on fatigue life of holed plate of mechanical joints was investigated both experimentally and numerically. In the experimental part, fatigue tests were carried out on the holed specimens in which oversized steel pins were force fitted to them. These fatigue tests were conducted on open hole specimen and specimens with 1, 1.5, 2 and 4 percent nominal interference fits at different cyclic longitudinal loads. From these tests the stress-life (S-N) data for different interference fit levels were obtained. The results show that interference fit increases fatigue life compared to open hole specimens. In the numerical part of the investigation, 3-D finite element simulations have been performed to obtain stress (or strain) histories and distributions around the hole due to interference fit and subsequent cyclic longitudinal loading using FEM package. The stress history from finite element (FE) simulation was used to explain t!
he reason for fatigue life improvement in the interference fitted specimens.
Keywords: Interference fit, fatigue, mechanical joint, finite element.

Abstract: Global convergence and overfitting are the main problem in neural network training. One of the new methods to overcome these problems is sampling theory that is applied in training of wavelet neural network. In this paper this new method is improved for training of wavelet neural network in non uniform and noisy data. The improvements include suggesting a method for finding the appropriate feedback matrix, addition of early stopping and wavelet thresholding to training procedure. Two experiments are conducted for one and two dimensional function. The results establish a satisfied performance of this algorithm in reduction of generalization error, reduction the complexity of wavelet neural network and mainly avoiding overfitting.

Abstract: The new paradigm of distributed computation, grid computing, has given rise to a large amount of research on resource scheduling. Unlike the distributed computation, grid computing uses heterogeneous resources, for what grid computing entails new challenges as the adaptation of parallel algorithms before developed for homogeneous resources cluster to the dynamic and heterogeneous resources. In this paper we present a dynamic-balanced scheduler for grid computing that solves two typical kinds of problems of grid computing, using for them the cycles of some resources of the grid. The first problem is based on iterative tasks that usually appear in optimization problems. The second problem is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) problem. Experimental results using dynamic-balanced scheduler show that it is possible to obtain an improved use of the resources in the grid. This strategy enables to adapt the length of a task to the computing capacity of each resource at any giv!
en moment. Furthermore, this scheduling strategy enables to execute all the tasks in a shorter time.

Abstract: This paper presents the electromagnetic pollution produced by the line frequency coreless induction furnaces in the power supply network. We analyzed a furnace with 12.5 t capacity of cast-iron. The measurements have been made in the secondary of the furnace transformer, using the CA8334 three-phase power quality analyser. Experimental results emphasized the presence of harmonics and interharmonics in the phase voltages and harmonics in the currents absorbed from the network. The operation of analyzed furnace also produces unbalance. Further to the harmonic analysis of the signals measured in the furnace installation, we have been proposed some optimization methods for its operation, in such way to comply with the European norms of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).

Abstract: In this paper secondary markets opportunities for hybrid remanufacturing/manufacturing systems will be analyzed. Recovering options allow increasing product's inherent value recovery rate and it have been experimented by many manufacturers for several years. Particularly, the remanufacturing has been receiving great attention from many OEMs. In this case, the joint presence of high quality returns and demand for such products on secondary markets (e.g. emerging markets), makes the management deciding about allocating these units on these secondary markets rather than remanufacturing them and supplying the primary market. To gain insight into such a system a simulation model has been developed by means of Arena and a statistical analysis of data obtained from some experimental campaigns has been carried out. In this way, the factors that mainly impact on system performance and the operating conditions in which selling on the secondary market is more profitable will !
be identified.

Abstract: This study presents the behavior of color spaces and wavelet base functions using lossy wavelet encoding system. The aim of lossy compression was to achieve excellent compressed image quality. Wavelet base functions used were Haar, Symlets and Biorthogonals and color spaces used were RGB, CMY, Ohta, L*u*v* and YCbCr. All of these color spaces have different properties and the choice of the color space can alter the results. In case of every test image the best compression ratio was obtained using YCbCr and L*u*v* color spaces and Haar wavelet base function. Root-mean-squared signal-to-noise ratios were also measured.

Abstract: In production, stops due to maintenance create imbalances within the system. Let's assume that you have a series of n machines and that the i stops. In this case the i+1 would be able to continue to work only as long as stocks were available on the machine, while the i-1 could continue to work only if there was the possibility that its production would be at least temporarily placed on the machine. Therefore it is normal in order to contain the system imbalances, due to maintenance stops, introduce some buffers. In this paper we propose a simulation model to define the optimal dimension of the buffer, with regards to the maintenance policy that is applied to the production system. The model can simulate a system of units that can have very different characteristics, such as productivity or reliability, and also we can simulate an inter-operational buffer between them. The model is based on the concept of thresholds which, when crossed by the parameter of wear, dete!
rmine different maintenance interventions. The cost optimization consists in determining, by simulation, at what value the thresholds should be fixed to minimize the overall maintenance cost. We use the model to determine the buffer dimension trend depending on the cost of the buffer.

Abstract: In this paper, a methodology to solve radial distribution networks, with constant current and/or impedance loads as well as shunt capacitor banks, is proposed. The techniques currently available to solve such systems are based either on iterative methods or on the bus impedance matrix. In both cases, the elaboration times are quite high since these are related, for iterative methods, to the overall number of iterations, and, for those methods based on the impedance matrix, to the inversion of the admittance matrix. The method developed here is the extension of a technique that is valid to solve networks made of impedances with one supply point. The methodology can also be applied in the solution, with the backward/forward methodology, of meshed systems having voltage-dependent loads and PV nodes. After having described the two cited networks' analysis methodologies, the new methodology is developed and its implementation is described. The comparison of the computat!
ional performances, in terms of CPU times, between the iterative method, the method using the bus impedance matrix and the one developed in this paper provide evidence regarding the efficiency of the latter in strongly reducing the calculation times.

Abstract: Many traditional approaches to pattern classification assume that the problem classes share similar prior probabilities. However, in many real-world problems, this assumption is grossly violated. Often, the ratios of prior probabilities between classes are extremely skewed. This situation is known as the imbalance problem. One of the methods to tackle this problem consists to balancing the class by resampling the original data set. The SMOTE algorithm is a most popular method to increase the size of the minority class by adding new synthetic minority instances. From the original SMOTE algorithm, we here propose the use of three surrounding neighborhood approaches with the aim of generating artificial minority examples, but taking into account the proximity and the spatial distribution of the examples. This paper show the convenience to use surrounding methods in SMOTE over ten databases and four classifiers.

Abstract: An excellent option to the utilities has been the utilisation of covered cable fixed to the insulator or to the line spacer. However, distribution lines located near the coast are often exposed to marine pollution and then the superficial resistance of the polymeric material can be reduced and leakage current can flow on the polymeric surface. This paper shows the results of investigation considering covered cable and line spacers. By testing the polymeric material, the behaviour of the leakage current and the evolution of degradation were analysed, aiming the on-line monitoring of the leakage current of line spacers.

Abstract: The most flexible, un-substitutable form of energy in the recent times is electrical energy. It is a coveted form of energy because it can be generated centrally in bulk and transmitted economically over long distances. It has been a critical resource for all nation building activities which keep the countries' wheels on progress and economy to prosper. So, demand for electricity is on the ever increasing side. As this electrical energy can be easily converted into other forms of energy, ease of its control has fed to the increase in demand in both the industrial and domestic sectors. Due to this over increase in demand for electrical energy, the demand for high quality, reliable power supply has compelled the power engineers to focus their attention on the new technological developments in the power sector operation and improvement. So, in order to overcome this ever growing demand for electricity, in general the generating plants like hydro, thermal, nuclear, die!
sel are being installed. But the natural fuel resources for this type of generating plants are limited and not renewable. Further, uncertainties in fuel availability, quality of fuel, high level prices and environmental barrier put a crimp on installation of new generating plants. Unfortunately, the present day technology has not yet been developed to that extent of tapping effectively and reliably the enormous amount of energy present in nature such as solar, wind, tidal, geothermal energy. Under these circumstances, one of the options left is to utilize the available electrical power very effectively by energy conservation. Energy conservation is concerned with those actions which reduce the total energy consumption. Examples of energy conservation include the use of more or better loss prevention methods, better efficiency and curtailment of activities to reduce the overall consumption of electrical energy. According to H.G.Gopal, it is in the best interest of the utilit!
y companies as well as the consumer to try to reduce these high peaks
demand profile as much as possible. While reducing the peak demands, however, utility companies will also need to compete for new customers and ensure current customer satisfaction with their performance and services as a new model (direct load control) based on fuzzy logic technique, which shows savings in electrical energy consumption and payback period. P.Ravibabu describes a fuzzy logic and differential tariff technique based on demand side management (DSM) strategy showed simulation results of the proposed DSM strategy. Among the various advancements in the power sector Demand Side Management in power systems is latest technology. The concept of DSM was developed in mid 1980's to meet the problems faced by both supplier as well as consumer. The main objective of this present work is to introduce the concept of DSM and a detailed implementation of DSM techniques to an industrial customer.

Abstract: Some work has been reported on the problem of automatically determining the gender of a documentfs author as a part of researches to extract features of a documentfs author. Japanese language has expressions called masculine/feminine expression, and they can often indicate the gender of a speaker of a conversational sentence. The computer system needs this mechanism in order to make or understand natural Japanese conversational sentences. The authors made a system that determines the suitable gender of a speaker of a single conversational sentence and named it gender-determining system (GDS). It generates a set of rules to determine the more suitable gender of a speaker of a sentence automatically, by decision tree learning. The authors employed six linguistic features for each of two morphemes at the end of a sentence and presence or absence of morphemes whose part of speech is a miscellaneous pronoun or a particle for ending as features of decision tree!
learning. The authors calculated the accuracy of GDS using the cross validation method and it was approximately 69.3% when human could answer the same problem with approximately 71.7%. The authors showed decision tree learning is more suitable than multiple regression analysis or Bayesian estimation in order to classify the gender of the speaker of Japanese sentences and generate a set of rules to determine them, and selected the suitable features as the inputs of GDS. The set of rules GDS generated indicates, for example, women speak more politely than men in Japan.

Abstract: An experimental investigation of heat transfer from in–line tube bundle to laminar flow of aqueous foam was performed. One type of aqueous foam – statically stable foam flow was used as a coolant. The experimental setup consisted of the foam generator, experimental channel, three in–line tube bundles, measurement instrumentation and auxiliary equipment. During the experiments it was determined dependence of heat transfer intensity on flow velocity, volumetric void fraction of foam and flow direction. Apart of this, influence of tube position of the bundle on heat transfer intensity was investigated. Liquid drainage from foam flow influenced on the distribution of the foam's local void fraction across and along the experimental channel therefore heat transfer intensity of the different tubes was unequal. Experimental investigation showed that heat transfer of the frontal tubes to vertical foam flow is higher than that of the further tubes. Experimental results of tu!
be bundle's heat transfer to vertical laminar foam flow were summarized by criterion equation, which can be used for calculation of heat transfer rate from the in–line tube bundle to foam flow.

Abstract: The role of the battery energy storage system (BESS) has become essential in modern power systems. Among various types of BESS, NAS (Sodium and Sulfur) battery is one of the most promising products. NAS battery system is a commercial product implemented widely in Japan. A practical strategy and planning of NAS battery operation is proposed in this paper. In Planning, a load forecast using past cases is introduction. In strategy, two important parameters are evaluated to get a satisfactory performance of the load following operation of NAS battery. The first one is the amount of reserve (margin) and the second one is the trigger of release. The amount of margin is defined as a percentage of gcharged battery energyh. A predetermined threshold is used to control the battery energy use in this paper. By a series of computational simulations, it is verified that the load-following operation introduced by this strategy yields flexible and cost-benefit effectiveness.

Abstract: Weathering of pyrite–containing rocks causes the well-known problem of acid rock drainage. Depending on the rate of pyrite oxidation, availability of water and oxidants and buffering capacity of surrounding rocks and sediments, the pH of the drainage is often very low. When the pyrite or other sulphide minerals are exposed to the atmosphere and water, the acid mine drainage was generated. Oxygen can be transported into the waste deposit by three mechanisms: (1) advective transport with water, (2) free ore forced air convection and (3) diffusion in the gaseous and aqueous phases through pores in waste material. Pyrite oxidation and acid mine generation are often controlled by the oxygen diffusion process. So, this research attempts to investigate the variation of oxygen concentration in the pyritic waste dump using analytical and numerical model incorporating PHOENICS computational fluid dynamics software. The obtained results can be used to control and reduce the e!
nvironmental impacts.

Abstract: Present day power systems are often large or very large systems, with a high degree of interconnectivity. Their analysis can be simplified using network equivalents, which decrease the size of the system by replacing a significant part of it with only a few nodes. The chosen equivalent is the REI equivalent. This paper describes a new approach to the problem of the REI equivalent design optimization, based on the sensitivity of the complex bus voltage from the internal unmodified section of the power system to a set of simulated representative contingencies. The optimal equivalents are determined using artificial intelligence techniques, namely genetic algorithms. The optimum design of the REI equivalent aimed to determine the number of REI buses to be used and the aggregation of external buses into the REI buses. The method was tested on a slightly modified version of the IEEE 57 bus test system. The obtained results prove the efficiency of the proposed method.

Abstract: The increase in air traffic has the immediate consequence of creating new techniques for air traffic control, as well as new procurement data procedures and data reporting. For these purposes, secondary radars have been developed under the standard ADS-B that should be implemented in coming years on a mandatory basis. In this article, an application of ADS-B radars, capable of introducing the air traffic in real time using a simple form of 4D representation and a free graphical interface. This application, consisting of a network of computers arranged in three layers (Layer of ADS-B Data Acquisition, Business Logic Layer and Presentation Layer), offers numerous advantages to flying clubs, academies of pilots, control towers, air traffic controllers, aircrafts (IN ADS-B), airlines (green trajectories), airport service vehicles, and so on.

Abstract: Nowadays an increasing demand to use mobile telephones devices in aircraft flights is being acknowledged, both in commercial and in aviation general flights. 2G and 3G mobile communications networks have a great penetration in terrestrial surface of populated areas. Nevertheless land mobile networks have not been planned to operate within the air space. The main objective of this project has been to collect GSM/GPRS signal level measurement samples in the air space used by general aviation, transmitted by terrestrial base stations. Subsequently the values of obtained signal have been analyzed in order to extract conclusions on the applicability of the current mobile terrestrial communications on board of aircraft in general aviation.

Abstract: In this paper we have supposed three methods for speech signal enhancement, which are based on Power Spectral Subtraction (PSS), Inverse Fourier Spectral Subtraction (IFSS) and Multi-Band Spectral Subtraction (MBSS) methods respectively. We have used Linear Predictive Coding (LPC), VAD analysis, and Voice/Unvoice (V/UV) detector for noise estimation and extraction, then we have compared the proposed methods with previously suggested ones. There is a noticeable improvement obtained in speech signal quality compared to previous methods. Also good results have been achieved in the auditory tests.

Title of the Paper: Development of New System for Spare Parts Repair to Reduce AOG Situations in SAUDIA Special Flight Services Division

Abstract: The Special Flight Services is a division of Saudi Arabian Airlines – SAUDIA, that operates small private jet aircrafts to serve government top officials and its distinguished guests, as well as charter flights for business companies. The SFS division has experienced lately a serious problem called AOG or Aircraft On Ground, which is the inability of the aircraft to fly due to a technical problem caused by the unavailability of the required spare parts to fix it. This paper summarizes the study that was conducted to resolve this problem. The goals of the study were to minimize the frequency of the AOG occurrences and to reduce the average AOG duration when they occur. The procurement and Stores departments were studied and their processes were analyzed to determine the root causes of the problem. The repair cycle of the spare parts was reengineered to make it shorter and more efficient; the critical spare parts were identified, their demand and their optimal stock !
quantity were estimated. The existing repair cycle was reduced from a total of 23 activities taking an average total time of 149 days to only 15 activities requiring an average repair time of 30 days; an enhancement of almost 80% in average repair time was achieved by reengineering the repair cycle. Seventeen critical parts were identified and few additional numbers of each part were needed to be on stock. These measures improved the problem and made it within acceptable normal level.

Title of the Paper: Project scheduling under multiple resources constraints using a genetic algorithm optimization process
Authors as they appear in the Paper: J. Magalhaes-Mendes
Email addresses of all the authors: jjm@isep.ipp.pt
Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: The resource constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is a difficult problem in combinatorial optimization for which extensive investigation has been devoted to the development of efficient algorithms. During the last couple of years many heuristic procedures have been developed for this problem, but still these procedures often fail in finding near-optimal solutions. This paper proposes a genetic algorithm for the resource constrained project scheduling problem. The chromosome representation of the problem is based on random keys. The schedule is constructed using a heuristic priority rule in which the priorities and delay times of the activities are defined by the genetic algorithm. The approach was tested on a set of standard problems taken from the literature and compared with other approaches. The computational results validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Abstract: Since several years ago, the analysis of data streams has attracted considerably the attention in various research fields, such as databases systems and data mining. The continuous increase in volume of data and the high speed that they arrive to the systems challenge the computing systems to store, process and transmit. Furthermore, it has caused the development of new online learning strategies capable to predict the behavior of the streaming data. This paper compares three very simple learning methods applied to static data streams when we use the 1-Nearest Neighbor classifier, a linear discriminant, a quadratic classifier, a decision tree, and the Na¨&#305;ve Bayes classifier. The three strategies have been taken from the literature. One of them includes a time-weighted strategy to remove obsolete objects from the reference set. The experiments were carried out on twelve real data sets. The aim of this experimental study is to establish the most suitable online!
learning model according to the performance of each classifier.

Abstract: Long distance AC transmission is often subject to stability problems , which limits the transmission capability.Large interconnected power systems often suffer from weakly damped swings between synchronous generators and subsystems.This paper presents two methods , based on the use of nonlinear system model , to improve transient stability and damping of power swings using UPFC. A state- variable control strategy has been derived using local available signals of real and reactive power. The results of simulation tests of two control methods, undertaken using a small multi-machine system model, have been presented. The simulations show that the methods make good results in different fault places and clearing time. The results present that controlling series part of UPFC can improve transient stability by state-variable control method, but simultaneous control of shunt and series part of UPFC can damp voltage oscillations by direct Lyapunov method.
