Abstract: This article focuses on mapping jobs to resources with use of off-the-shelf machine learning methods. The machine learning methods are used in the black-box manner, having a wide variety of parameters for internal cross validation. In the article we focus on two sets of experiments, both constructed with a goal of congesting the system. In the first part, the machine learning methods are used as assistants for the base resource selection algorithms, while in the second part, they are used to directly select the resource for job execution. We set up two experiments with different objectives. In the first experiment, the objective was to maximize the number of jobs finished within the deadline, while in the second experiment, the objective was to minimize the job tardiness. Finally, in the first part we were changing resource selections of simple job dispatching algorithms, while in the second part, we were employing the optimization scheme of the ALEA algorithm. Th!
e results show that even with a such black-box approach of the off-the-shelf machine learning methods, we can achieve improvements or at least get comparable results.

Abstract: More than 94% steelmaking and ironmaking are released in continuous casting process. Product quality is closely related to metal cleanness and non-metallic inclusions removal. So, lliquid metal flow in ladles, tundishes and moulds is recognised to be of great importance in the quality of these products. The metal jet from the ladle to tundish tends to induce turbulent motions which can play important roles in non-metallic inclusions removal at the slag surface, thereby helping in the production of cleaner steel. To improve particle decantation, flow control devices such as dams and weirs are used. The present work is an experimental study released using similarity criteria, through Reynolds and Froude numbers. A reduced scale (1/4) water model of an industrial tundish is used to visualise and measure different parameters of a tracer flow injected in water. The analysis of residence time distribution curves (RTD) by the combined model for different configurations !
is carried out to establish the interest of placing weirs in the amelioration of inclusions flotation and decantation

Abstract: This paper present a virtual educational environment model which makes learning easier by using collaboration (and extension, team-research model) as a form of social interplay. The model represents a universe where human agents interact with artificial agents (software agents). Considering the vision of the system, it can be classified among advanced systems for it is client-oriented (student) and provides value added educational services, due to the collaborative learning attribute. The model proposes an original architecture where elements of the socio-cultural theory of collaborative learning are assigned to the artificial intelligence components (the multi-agent system). The expected results are: conceptual models (agents, learning and teaching strategies, student profiles and group profiles, communication between agents, negotiation strategies and coalition formation), software entities, and a methodology to evaluate the performance of eLearning systems.

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: The goal of this study focuses on the presence of a robust method for speech detection (SPD). A robust SPD is essential part of speech recognition in non-stationary backgrounds such as in cars. It is shown that the inherent nature of banded structures appears only on speech-activity spectrogram and is robust against various types of noises. Consequently, a robust acoustic feature, namely band-splitting spectral entropy (BSE) parameter, is then proposed here. By use of the band decomposition, the banded structures are explicated more efficiently. To make the BSE parameter insensitive to colored noise such as car noise, the weighted average based noise estimator being used for tracking noise variation where the BSE decision is as an indicator of updating noise power is utilized. Experimental results show that the proposed SPD is robust against variable noise-level in cars.

Abstract: Edge preserving smoothing and image simplification is of fundamental importance in a variety of image processing and vision applications during feature extraction and object detection procedures. The construction of an optimal pre-processing filtering tool for edge detection and segmentation tasks is still an open matter. Towards this end, this paper introduces Anisotropic Morphological Levelings (AML), an advancement of the classical levelings which incorporate during its computation anisotropic diffused markers. The evaluation of the proposed scheme was carried out both by qualitative and quantitative assessment. Experimental results demonstrated that the developed AML generated an effective pre-processing tool for noise removal, corner detection and segmentation.

Title of the Paper: Estimation of Load Diagrams in MV/LV Substations
Authors as they appear in the Paper: J. N. Fidalgo
Email addresses of all the authors: jfidalgo@inescporto.pt
Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: Efficient power systems planning and exploration require the estimation of load diagrams at the different levels of the distribution networks. In particular, the planning of new MV/LV substations requires the assessment of their expected load curves under different exploration scenarios. The deregulation process and environment preservation constraints also compel the need of higher efficiency levels in network investments. This paper describes the methodologies adopted for the estimation of load curve diagrams in MV/LV substations. The assessment process is based on billing data (monthly energy consumption, hired power contracts, activity codes and weekday type), which is the unique information generally available at this level of the network. The most common approaches use measurements in typical classes of consumers defined by experts to construct inference engines that, most of the times, only estimate peak loads. In this paper, two different approaches are te!
sted. The first one is based on the definition of classes using a clustering algorithm and uses Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for the estimation of the MV/LV substation load curve. In the second one, an ANN is trained to output directly the load diagram estimated for each individual consumer. This article describes the adopted methodologies and presents some representative results. Performance attained is discussed as well as a method to achieve confidence intervals.

Abstract: This paper approaches the problem of restoring a faulted area in an electric power distribution system after locating and isolating the faulted block and reconfiguring the system. Through this paper we are going to explain the power system restoration technique using brute-force attack method (BFAM) and binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO). This is a technique based on the possible combination in mathematical analysis which is explained in the introduction. After isolating the fault, main concentration will be towards the reconfiguration of the restored system using BPSO. In power system if a node has fault than its near-by agents will make all the possible combination with the near-by node starting(1st) to end(nth) and then will go up to the end load and the best solution path out of these combination will be used for the restoration. Main advantage of this method is that it will give the 100% efficient result for the restoration of node considering the powe!
r availability of the feeders. Here due to fault in the system near-by agent will be affected and become useless and will go in the non-working mode. Now in order to restore these near-by loads we will give a new connection called NO (Normally Open). These connections work in such a way so that the switch will be in open state as long as there is no fault. But it will close with the load of near-by feeder as soon as fault is there and they will restore the system by taking the only available power (extra power) from the feeder through bus connection. After restoration using the BFAM, the BPSO will be used in order to provide the stable configuration. The output of the BFAM will be used as input for the BPSO and then we will reconfigure our system in order to provide the stable configuration. The effectiveness of the proposed BFAM and BPSO is demonstrated by simulating tests in a proposed distribution network and verified the results using the Matlab and C programming.

Abstract: The development of learning skills is not given attention in many classrooms in all levels of education in our education system today. We assume that students will be able to develop their own learning skills. The challenges students face in hypermedia learning environment need to be considered to help them learn effectively in this type of learning environment. METAKU is developed to assist students to apply metacognitive learning strategies, that is, planning, monitoring and evaluation during the learning process in hypermedia learning environment. This paper discusses the development of METAKU which employed the first three stages of a generic instructional design model - ADDIE which consists of the following stages: 1) Analysis, 2) Design, 3) Development, 4) Implementation and 5) Evaluation. In the analysis stage, the data was collected using a triangulation method done concurrently: a survey of student's preference of studying online versus offline; a focus gr!
oup interview to identify challenges they face and strategies they use whilst accessing and studying the hypertext materials; and a record of student's interaction with the computer using captivation software. A total of 240 second year university students in two public universities in Malaysia were involved in this study. The analysis stage provides information for stage 2 and 3 where the data collected was used in formulating the content and design of METAKU. It is hoped that METAKU will be able to help students develop learning skills in hypermedia learning environment.

Abstract: IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN (WLAN) is the most widely used WLAN standard today, but it cannot provide QoS support for the increasing number of multimedia applications. Thus, a large number of 802.11 QoS enhancement schemes have been proposed, each one is focusing on a particular mode. This work summarizes all these schemes and presents current research activities. First, we analyze the QoS limitations of IEEE 802.11 wireless MAC layers. Then, different QoS enhancement techniques proposed for 802.11 WLAN are described and classified along with their advantages/drawbacks. Finally, the upcoming IEEE 802.11e QoS enhancement standard is introduced and studied in detail. We are proposing in this work to adapt the concept of Quality of Service (QoS) issues in wireless LAN scenario. A deep comparative analysis has been done with leader based schemes and results have been verified using OPNET simulator.

Abstract: IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN (WLAN) is the most widely used WLAN standard today, but it cannot provide QoS support for the increasing number of multimedia applications. Thus, a large number of 802.11 QoS enhancement schemes have been proposed, each one is focusing on a particular mode. This work summarizes all these schemes and presents current research activities. First, we analyze the QoS limitations of IEEE 802.11 wireless MAC layers. Then, different QoS enhancement techniques proposed for 802.11 WLAN are described and classified along with their advantages/drawbacks. Finally, the upcoming IEEE 802.11e QoS enhancement standard is introduced and studied in detail. We are proposing in this work to adapt the concept of Quality of Service (QoS) issues in wireless LAN scenario. A deep comparative analysis has been done with leader based schemes and results have been verified using OPNET simulator.

Abstract: Total Knee Arthroplasty has been the end time surgical procedure for pain relief and movement restoration in cases of severe arthritis. The Knee implant design plays a vital role in the deciding the activity levels of a patient after total knee replacement. 90 percent of younger patients undergoing the knee replacement surgeries, the restriction is not from the subject but from the implant design. This paper discusses parameters affecting the activity levels after total knee replacement. The paper also briefs the design aspects of a novel knee design which allows the normal high flexion activity even after total knee replacement.

Abstract: This paper focuses on comparing performances of the selection combining (SC) diversity system in the presence of independent and correlated Ricean fading. For the case of correlated fading, we have presented closed form expressions for probability density function (PDF), and cumulative density function (CDF), at the output of dual branch SC. Also we have presented closed form expressions for system performances such as: average bit error-rate (ABER), outage probability (OP) and average output moments, which is the main contribution of our work. For the case of independent fading between the diversity branches, we have analyzed performances of SC diversity system which consists of two and four input branches. All obtained results are graphically presented.

Abstract: Applications of biological methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology are defined as BIONICS. The present paper describes a bionics application of shape memory alloy in construction of orthopedic implant. The main idea of this paper is related to design modular adaptive implants for fractured bones. In order to target the efficiency of medical treatment, the implant has to protect the fractured bone, for the healing period, undertaking much as is possible from the daily usual load of the healthy bones. After a particular stage of healing period is passed, using implant modularity, the load is gradually transferred to bone, assuring in this manner a gradually recover of bone function. The adaptability of this design is related to medical possibility of the doctor to made the implant to correspond to patient specifically anatomy. Using a CT realistic numerical bone models, the mechanical simulation of diff!
erent types of loading of the fractured bones treated with conventional method are presented. The results are commented and conclusions are formulated.

Abstract: The transformation of waves is one of the important subjects in coastal engineering studies. Refraction, diffraction, shoaling, reflection can be analysed with the mild slope equation over mild sloped topographies. But the extended mild slope equation can be applied to the rapidly varying topographies since it includes higher order bottom effects such as square of bottom slope and bottom curvature. In this study, extended mild slope equation has been solved with finite difference method using Mac Cormack and Point Gauss Seidel Methods together. The nonlinear wave celerity and group velocity have been used. The numerical model has been tested on elliptic shoaling area and compared with the physical experiment measurements given in literature. The predictions are in consistency with the measurements. As a result of error analysis, it is decided that the numerical can be used for the simulation of wave propagation. Numerical model has been applied to a coastal area in!
the Kocaeli Bay in the Marmara Sea in Turkey.

Abstract: This article proposes an adaptive coded modulation (ACM) with multi-levels qualities of service analysis, which can be used to perform physical layer functions in software radio receivers for beyond third generation systems. ACM approche employs multiple coding and modulation schemes in order to adapt instantaneously spectral efficiency to the signal-to-noise ratio variations SNR. The idea is to study transmission schemes performance which allow dynamic bandwidth sharing among various services in multimedia mobile and wireless networks in different channel environments. The aim is to select the appropriate modulation and channel coding modes based on signal quality measurement via a decision feedback block (DFB). Decision taken by the DFB block is based on different QoS parameters that depend in class and type of multimedia traffic. The DBF block is introduced in order to mitigate the channel quality fluctuations. The channel coded adaptive modulation schemes can !
be viewed as a lower complexity alternative of mitigating the channel quality fluctuations in comparison to multiple-transmitter and multiple-receiver. Implementing DFB necessitate to simulate and analyze different combinations between modulation and channel coding blocs for different data types.

Abstract: XML data are data whose structure is not necessary constrained by a schema. XML is fast emerging as the dominant standard for information exchange on the World Wide Web. The ability to intelligently query XML data becomes increasingly important. Several query languages are proposed in the literature, they are mainly different in the underlying model and in the power of expression. In this article we present and compare a family of recursive query languages for querying and restructuring XML data.

Abstract: An algorithm to solve unit commitment problem (UCP) with operational, power flow and environmental constraints under contingencies has been developed to plan an economic and secure generation schedule. The unit commitment (UC) solution for the environmental constrained problem has been formulated as a multi-objective problem by considering both Economic load dispatch (ELD) and Economic emission dispatch (EED) simultaneously. The combined economic emission dispatch (CEED) bi-objective problem is converted to single objective function by adding a modified price penalty factor. The UCP solutions without operational and power flow constraints are not practical due to secure operation of the power system network. This proposed algorithm introduces an efficient UC approach that obtains the minimum operating cost satisfying both unit and network constraints when contingencies are included. Repeated OPF for the satisfactory unit combinations for every line removal under th!
e given study period has been carried out to obtain UC solutions with both operational, power flow and environmental constraints. This proposed algorithm has been tested on IEEE 14, 30, 57, 118 buses and practical Indian utility systems. The solutions obtained are quite encouraging and useful in the economic emission environment. The algorithm and simulation are carried through Matlab environment.

Abstract: Troposphere Ozone layer acts as a shield against all ultraviolet radiation approaching the planet Earth through absorption. It was noticed in mid 80s that ozone layer has thinned on the poles of the planet due to release of man-made substances commonly known as Ozone Depleting Substances, (ODS) into its atmosphere. The consequences of this change are adverse as the harmful radiations reach to the surface of the earth, strongly influencing the crops yield and vegetation. These radiations are major cause of skin cancer that has long exposure to UV radiation. United States Environmental Protection Agency and European Community have imposed strict regulations to curb the emission of ODS and phase out schedules for the manufacture and use of ODS that was specified by Montreal Protocol in 1987. This research program deals with data analysis of ozone layer thickness and measured ultra-violet radiation that have been obtained at an altitude of 8 km from Abu Dhabi Monitorin!
g station. The ozone layer thickness in stratosphere has been correlated with measured ultraviolet radiation above the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The influence of import of ozone depletion substances for the last decade and other factors that strongly affect the ozone layer thickness in stratosphere were discussed in the final report submitted to public. The dependency of ozone layer thickness on ambient pollutant levels is discussed in detail.

Abstract: An Efficient Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO) technique, employed to solve Economic Dispatch (ED) problems including losses in power system is presented in this paper. With practical consideration, ED will have nonsmooth cost functions with equality and inequality constraints that make the problem, a large-scale highly constrained nonlinear optimization problem. The proposed method expands the original PSO to handle a different approach for satisfying those constraints. In this paper, an Efficient Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO) technique is employed so that faster convergence is obtained for the same results published in IEEE Proceedings. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method it is being applied to test ED problems, one with smooth and other with non smooth cost functions considering valve-point loading effects. Comparison with other optimization techniques showed the superiority of the proposed EPSO approach and confirmed its potential for!
solving nonlinear economic load dispatch problems with losses

Abstract: An important practical problem in the area of the higher-order statistical signal processing is to estimate the cumulants and polyspectra of the analyzed signal when a finite sequence of time samples is available. We cannot use the theoretical formula because they are based on the assumption that an infinite sequence of time samples is available, but this is not true in practice. In order to obtain a better estimate for bispectrum of the signal, different types of 2D window functions are used. Also, these windows are investigated in terms of the resolution and leakage effect of the indirect bispectrum estimate.

Abstract: Since 1992, research has been conducted to develop technologies, commonly referred to as electronic noses, that could detect and recognize odors and flavors. An electronic nose (e-nose) is a device that identifies the specific components of an odor and analyzes its chemical makeup to identify it. Of all the five senses, olfaction uses the largest part of the brain and is an essential part of our daily lives. Our human nose is elegant, sensitive, and self-repairing, but the E-nose sensors do not fatigue or get the "flu". Further, the E-nose can be sent to detect toxic and otherwise hazardous situations that humans may wish to avoid. An electronic nose can be regarded as a modular system comprising a set of active materials which detect the odour, associated sensors which transduce the chemical quantity into electrical signals, followed by appropriate signal conditioning and processing to classify known odours or identify unknown odours. The signals generated by an a!
rray of odour sensors need to be processed in a sophisticated manner. An odor is composed of molecules, each of which has a specific size and shape. Each of these molecules has a correspondingly sized and shaped receptor in the human nose. When a specific receptor receives a molecule, it sends a signal to the brain and the brain identifies the smell associated with that particular molecule. Electronic noses based on the biological model work in a similar manner, albeit substituting sensors for the receptors, and transmitting the signal to a program for processing, rather than to the brain. Electronic noses are useful in various fields. Currently, the biggest market for electronic noses is the food industry. Environmental applications of electronic noses include analysis of fuel mixtures, detection of oil leaks, testing ground water for odors, and identification of household odors. Potential applications include identification of toxic wastes, air quality monitoring, and mon!
itoring factory emissions. Sensors can detect toxic CO, which is odorl
ess to humans. An electronic nose has applicability as a diagnostic tool. The tragic bombings in London on the 7 July 2005 have caused many to call for bag searching at the ticket barriers on the Underground. This would cause huge delays, apart from finding the manpower to do it. A possible alternative is using an "electronic nose" to sniff out possible explosives so that only selected bags need to be searched by staff.

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel colour segmentation algorithm based on the derived inherent properties of RGB colour space. The proposed colour segmentation algorithm operates directly on RGB colour space without the need of colour space transformation and it is very robust to various illumination conditions. Furthermore, our approach has the benefits of being insensitive to rotation, scaling, and translation. In addition, the system can be applied to different applications, for example, colour segmentation of human skin colour and colour segmentation for fruits (vegetables) quality control by merely changing the values of the parameters (ƒÑ, ƒÒ1, ƒÒ2, ƒ×1, ƒ×2). Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of our proposed approach in colour segmentation.

Abstract: History subject plays a vital role in instilling the spirits of patriotism among the students; to nourish and instill love and loyalty to one's country and to be a true citizen. The lack of creativity in history teaching caused process effectively and interestingly especially among young learners. Digital Game Based Learning (DGBL) approach utilizes the game as a medium for conveying learning contents. There are many models for educational games development which combined the Instructional Design (ID) and game development process. However, there is still a conflict on how to merge ID and game development effectively. Therefore, we looked into the pedagogy and game design aspects. We then propose a DGBL model for History educational games design and a development methodology which combined the ID and game development process, named DGBL-ID model. The DGBL-ID model consists of five phases: analysis, design, development, quality assurance as well as implementation and!
evaluation.

Abstract: Searching for structural similarities of proteins has a central role in bioinformatics field. Most tasks of bioinformatics depends on investigating the homologous protein's sequence or structure these tasks vary from predicting the protein structure to determine sites in protein structure where drug can be attached. Protein structure comparison problem is extremely important in many tasks. It can be used for determining function of protein, for clustering a given set of proteins by their structure, for assessment in protein fold prediction. Protein Structure Indexing Using Suffix Array and Wavelet (PSISAW) is a hybrid approach that provides the ability to retrieve similarities of proteins based on their structures. Indexing the protein structure is one approach of searching for protein similarities. We use the suffix arrays to index protein structure and use wavelet to compress the indexed database. Compressing the indexed database is supposed to make the searchin!
g time faster and memory usage lower but it affects the accuracy with accepted rate of error.The experimental results, which are based on the structural classification of proteins (SCOP) dataset, show that our method outperforms existing similar methods in memory utilization and searching speed. Our results show an enhancement in the memory usage with factor 50%.

Abstract: One of the perspectives is to understand and place sustainable development within broader picture of globalization and paradigm shift. As long as we 'neatly' divide education, sustainable development and politics we can discuss them as separate 'fields' of work. Globalization is associated with processes, such as internationalization, international relationships, unification and diversity, local and global and similar. It 'occurs' in all areas of social life and from some points of view in all scientific disciplines. The purpose of this article is to present methodological issues related to interdisciplinary and cross-cultural research and sustainable development. We can observe cross-cultural research in management, education, and in other disciplines of social sciences. Cross-cultural research, however, requires translation. If research is understood as a form of communication then cultural dimension play role in data collection stage as well as in other stages !
of research design. When questionnaires, tests and other instruments of data collection are used in different cultural and linguistic groups a question of equivalence becomes essential. Our consideration is that questionnaires like ours are subjected to double translations: from one field or discipline to other and from one language to other. In these double translations cultural equivalence basically cannot be ensured. Qualitative studies, however, can embrace cultural dimension.

Abstract: This work proposes a two-stage immune algorithm that embeds the compromise programming to perform multi-objective optimal compensator placement. A new problem formulation model that involves fuzzy sets to reflect the imprecise nature of objectives and incorporates multiple planning requirements is presented. The proposed approach finds a set of non-inferior (Pareto) solutions rather than any single aggregated optimal solution. Additionally, this developed approach eliminates the need for any user-defined weight factor to aggregate all objectives. Comparative studies are conducted on an actual system with encouraging results, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
Keywords: Compensator placement, immune algorithm, non-inferior set, compromise programming.

Abstract: Nowadays, there is a growing number of e-government portals and solutions that provide integrated governmental data resources to the customers (citizens, enterprises or other public sectors). However, the administration of distributed data resources are faced with increasing challenges caused by the discovery difficulties across the internet. To overcome this, this paper puts forward the concept of a model for automatic data resource discovery in the data grid environment for e-government applications. The paper elaborates the rule of global naming, brings forward metadata¡¯s registration and storage on the naming rule, and explores how to use it to find out the long-distance data resources rapidly. The paper also sets forth the method for restraining, sending and accessing data resources repeatedly by searching ¡°comparison table¡± and using the time marker under the multiple data grid nodes, and points out that ¡°comparison table¡± should adopt the strategy of pr!
efering frequently used data and clearing rarely used data.

Abstract: Industrial motors are subject to various faults which, if unnoticed, can lead to motor failure. The necessity of incipient fault detection can be justified by safety and economical reasons. The technology of artificial neural networks has been successfully used to solve the motor fault detection problem. This paper develops inexpensive, reliable, and noninvasive NN based fault detection scheme for small and medium sized induction motors. Detailed design procedure for achieving the optimal NN model and Principal Component Analysis for dimensionality reduction is proposed. Overall thirteen statistical parameters are used as feature space to achieve the desired classification. Generalized Feed Forward (GFFDNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) NN models are designed and verified for optimal performance in fault identification on experimental data set of custom designed 2 HP, three phase 50 Hz induction motor.

Abstract: This paper discusses a systematic design of a Sigma-Delta fractional-N Phase-Locked Loop based on HDL behavioral modeling. The proposed design consists in describing the mixed behavior of this PLL architecture starting from the specifications of each building block. The HDL models of critical PLL blocks have been described in VHDL-AMS to predict the different specifications of the PLL. The effect of different noise sources has been efficiently introduced to study the PLL system performances. The obtained results are compared with transistor-level simulations to validate the effectiveness of the proposed models.

Abstract: Characterization of the shaly sand reservoirs by flow units is a practical way of reservoir zonation. This work represents a petrophysical-based method that uses well loggings and core plug data to delineate flow units within the most productive shaly sand reservoir of Triassic Formation in Hassi R'Mel field of Algeria. In the study of oil reservoirs, the prediction of absolute permeability is a fundamental key in reservoir descriptions and has a direct impact on, amongst others, effective completion designs, successful water injection programs and more efficient reservoir management. Usually simple linear regressions of core porosity and permeability data or empirical relationships using various log responses (e.g. porosity, clay volume and water saturation) have been used to predict permeability. These empirical methods only apply locally and ignore the fact that there is no theoretical basis for a relationship between porosity and permeability. The Triassic Form!
ations of Hassi R'Mel fields are composed of sandstones and shaley sandy with dolomite. Logs from the 8 wells are the starting point for the reservoir characterization. The general geologic framework obtained from the logs point out for discriminations within the formation. Some representative core plug data from 10 different wells are used to better understand the petrophysical framework of the formation. The plots correlating petrophysical parameters and the frequency histograms suggest the presence of distinctive reservoir trends. The permeability models are constructed and their reliabilities are compared by the regression coefficients for predictions in un-cored sections. This indicates the presence of several "hydraulic flow units" (HFU) of similar petrophysical characteristics. Analysis of core data from the Hassi R'Mel East (HRE) Field in Algeria indicates such a scenario. The predicted permeabilities for each unit show good correlations with the calculated ones fro!
m core plugs. Highly reliable future estimations can be based on the d
erived methods.

Abstract: A novel rate adaptive Channel MAC paradigm has been proposed considering perfect channel prediction and optimal rate adaptation. Simulation results reveal a significant performance gap between the theoretical rate adaptive Channel MAC and existing rate adaptive protocols- such as `Opportunistic Auto Rate' (OAR). Furthermore, we show that the proposed scheme still outperforms OAR in the presence of moderate channel prediction inaccuracies. We further extend the rate adaptive Channel MAC considering receiver diversity using two variants and present relevant analytical models. Simulation results reveal possible throughput improvement in the rate adaptive Channel MAC when we consider receiver diversity. The application shows the feasibility of the rate adaptive Channel MAC even in a Single Input Multiple Output (SIMO) environment.

Abstract: Despite significant research effort, the performance of distributed medium access control methods has failed to meet theoretical expectations. Previously we have proposed the concept for a fully distributed, but non optimum opportunistic medium access control called Channel MAC. In this paper we present the Channel MAC protocol operations addressing the issues of information exchange between nodes, predicting transmission intervals and selecting transmission thresholds to achieve fairness. Although the proposed prediction scheme based on mean channel fading is simple to implement, it is imperfect leading to some performance losses. Event based simulation tool NS2 is used to analyse the performance of Channel MAC in a number of network scenarios. We analyse the performance of the proposed protocol using the performance metric; throughput, fairness, and delay. The simulation results show throughput performance improvement of up to 30\% with Channel MAC over IEEE 802.!
11 in certain multihop scenarios. Generally the proposed protocol outperforms 802.11 in all analysed network scenarios. We also show that the severe resource starvation problem (unfairness) of IEEE 802.11 in some network scenarios is reduced by the Channel MAC mechanism.

Abstract: Abstract: - The study was carried out to determine the effect of pulsating frequencies exiting from a hot circular air jet on the local heat transfer of a flat impingement aluminium plate. The velocity profile of a steady heated circular air jet and pulsating air jet at frequencies of 10 and 20 Hz was measured in the first part of the study. The same set-up was used to measure the heat flux of the pulsating jet impinging on a flat aluminium plate. The heat flux of the heated air jet impinging on the plate was measured using a heat flux micro-sensor at radial positions between 0 to 12 cm away from the stagnation point. Measurement of the heat flux was used to calculate the local heat transfer coefficient and local Nusselt Number for steady air jet and for air jet pulsating frequencies of 10 and 20 Hz. The Reynolds number used were 16 000, 23 300 and 32 000. Results obtained show that the local Nusselt number calculated at all measurement point for pulsating jet were!
higher than the local Nusselt number for steady jet. The results for pulsating jet Nusselt number was higher than the steady jet Nusselt number for the value of frequencies measured are due to the higher localised heat transfer. The higher Nusselt number obtained at localized radial positions can be due to the higher instantaneous velocity as was shown from the velocity profile plotted in the first part of the experiment. The relationship between the two results shows that higher flow velocity and turbulence intensity gives higher localized heat transfer.

Abstract: An Efficient Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO) technique, employed to solve Economic Dispatch (ED) problems including losses in power system is presented in this paper. With practical consideration, ED will have nonsmooth cost functions with equality and inequality constraints that make the problem, a large-scale highly constrained nonlinear optimization problem. The proposed method expands the original PSO to handle a different approach for satisfying those constraints. In this paper, an Efficient Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO) technique is employed so that faster convergence is obtained for the same results published in IEEE Proceedings. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method it is being applied to test ED problems, one with smooth and other with non smooth cost functions considering valve-point loading effects. Comparison with other optimization techniques showed the superiority of the proposed EPSO approach and confirmed its potential for!
solving nonlinear economic load dispatch problems with losses.

Abstract: This paper presents an approach for the design of fuzzy logic power system stabilizers using genetic algorithms. In the proposed fuzzy expert system, speed deviation and its derivative have been selected as fuzzy inputs. In this approach the parameters of the fuzzy logic controllers have been tuned using genetic algorithm. Incorporation of GA in the design of fuzzy logic power system stabilizer will add an intelligent dimension to the stabilizer and significantly reduces computational time in the design process. It is shown in this paper that the system dynamic performance can be improved significantly by incorporating a genetic-based searching mechanism. To demonstrate the robustness of the genetic based fuzzy logic power system stabilizer (GFLPSS), simulation studies on multimachine system subjected to small perturbation and three-phase fault have been carried out. Simulation results show the superiority and robustness of GA based power system stabilizer as comp!
are to conventionally tuned controller to enhance system dynamic performance over a wide range of operating conditions.

Abstract: The design approaches and a design case of the series-parallel hybrid electric propulsion system for ground vehicles are presented in this paper. Based on the analysis of the base units and the combination types of the series-parallel propulsion systems, a novel manual transmission is proposed to switch the propulsion system configuration in a low-cost manual-shifted hybrid propulsion system. This propulsion system type has been used in a hybrid transit bus. The sizes of propulsion system components, including engine, electric motors, battery and gear ratios, are designed to satisfy the bus¡¯s drive ability requirements. Moreover, some features, including down-sized engine, idling elimination, regenerative brake, low-speed electric propulsion and proper control strategy, etc., are introduced to improve its fuel economy. The fuel economy of the hybrid bus was evaluated under the city transit bus driving cycle. The result shows that the fuel consumption is on averag!
e reduced by 21.3% of that of the conventional baseline bus under city driving conditions, which identifies the approach¡¯s technical and economical feasibility.

Title of the Paper: Investigation of Facial Artifacts on Face Biometrics using Eigenface based Single and Multiple Neural Networks
Authors as they appear in the Paper: K. Sundaraj

Abstract: Biometrics has been an important issue pertaining to security in the last few decades. Departments or agencies entrusted with national security are increasingly installing surveillance cameras in strategic or critical areas to monitor the identities of the general public. Upon locating suspicious characters in the video feed, they are compared with existing databases to find a match. These databases are generally compiled from the National Registration Department (NRD), Immigration, intelligence agencies, etc. Unfortunately, as mentioned in most reports of tragic events, suspicious characters do not resemble anything like what has been stored in the databases. There is a high chance that the face biometric identification software will miss these culprits. In this paper we propose to investigate the effects of facial artifacts on the recognition rate of eigenface based neural networks. It has been found that eigenfaces coupled with Euclidean distance can be successf!
ully used to recognize the human face in almost real-time. However, facial artifacts can cause the features that characterize a face to be distorted. Hence, it is desirable to identify problematic facial artifacts that can cause false identification or no identification. The main focus of this paper is the investigation of common facial artifacts on the performance of recognition and the proposition of modification to existing databases to improve the positive rate of identification. A professional graphic artist was used to modify the images used in the experiments. We use a single and multiple eigenface based neural network as the classifier in our experiments.

Abstract: This paper presents the way to create a fuzzy controller used to command a fluid flow servo-valve with force reaction, this servo-valve being the execution element of an industrial robot adaptation system which adjusts the position on one axel. Practically, beginning from a value of the reference (the position in which we wish to move the free extremity of the hydraulic cylinder's piston's cane), for example at half the distance the piston covers and at a value of the speed with which the piston moves at a certain moment, the paper goes through all the stages of fuzzy algorithm and a firm value of the command which the controller produces in this case. The spread of the applications' field of the numerical systems for adjustment and control of the technological processes is, obviously, sustained by the superior performances achieved by such systems, as is the case of the fuzzy system, comparing to the conventional analogical automated systems.

Abstract: The paper presents a systemic approach of a walking robot behavior and control in uncertain environments, with application to a hexapod robot. For simplicity, this paper considers only the vertical xz-plane evolution taking into account that the structure is symmetrical in the horizontal xy-plane and the results can be easily extended. Based on the mathematical model of the robot, determined considering all the points in the xz-plane as being complex numbers, a new concept of walking called SSTA, "Stable States Transition Approach", is proposed. Applications of this algorithm for a walking robot with four free joints are implemented on a user-friendly simulation and educational platform and also a control system development environment for control of walking robots systems - RoPa. All the examples demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed control algorithm.

Abstract: In accordance with intelligent complementary strategies, a new transformer fault diagnosis method is proposed based on rough set (RS) and fuzzy set (FS) and Bayesian optimal classifier in this paper. Through RS reduction, the diagnostic decision table is greatly simplified and fault symptoms information is compressed, dramatically, and the minimal decision rules can be obtained. In the light of the minimal decision rules, the complexity of Bayesian reasoning and difficulties of fault symptom acquisition are dramatically decreased. Moreover, probability reasoning may be realized applying Bayesian optimal classifier, it can be used to describe the characteristics of fault information and investigate the fault reasons of transformer. In the end, a practical application in transformer fault diagnosis indicates that the proposed method is very effective and intelligent and ubiquitous.

Abstract: In electrified railway traction power supply systems, the operational qualities and reliabilities of the main traction transformer loop is higher, but ones of bus output units is comparatively low. The traction transformer loop still works when output loops are in failure, and the output loop interrupts working when the main transformer is in failure, and only has residual life when restoring working, the connection formation between them is in series. Traditional reliability analysis methods let their lifetime follow exponential distribution, and reliability is investigated based on the minimal path sets, which lead to a comparatively rough result, consequently. According to Markov theory, in this paper the main loop life is considered as mixed Erlang distribution with order n, and the output unit life follows generic distribution. As compared with conventional series systems, the acquired results are proved to be reliable and sound.

Abstract: The component-based software development (CBSD) has been paid more attention by software practicers in recent years. How to analyze and verify behavior-level component substitutability is very important when the component-based software system needs upgrading or maintaining. Concentrating on the component-based software system, this paper formally specifies the components and their interaction behaviors, analyzes the behavior of the new component compared with the old one, and then presents a set of rules for verifying behavioral substitutability of components in software system to ensure the behavioral compatibility whenever a component is replaced by a new one. Finally, an example of e-commerce is presented to illustrate the feasibility and pertinence of this approach.

Abstract: Abstract:- A triangular finite element computational model was developed to simulate and predict the failure response of carbon fibrous composite panels subjected to low velocity drop-weight impact. Evolution of drop-weight method and its relevance to fibrous composite analysis was briefly described. Mathematical formulation consisting of constitutive, equilibrium, and kinematic relations were introduced. Finite element formulation and failure criteria proposed by Hashin were also introduced. Triangular Finite Element Method (FEM) was chosen to perform simulation in commercially available software ABAQUS incorporating drop-weight velocity amplitudes in time-domain with various input parameters. To improve convergence, triangular element system along with adaptive meshing technique was employed to mesh the regions of high stress gradient with fine meshes and coarse meshes for the rest. Computed stresses were used in Hashin failure criteria and compared against u!
ltimate stresses. Most of the results from the available literature and found to be in good agreement. However, as expected, some values of acceleration parameters were very large. As they were computed from second order derivates, divided by very small time step size produced such larger values. Therefore, a four-point moving average filter was applied to smooth 'noise' from the results. Some of the results from failure threshold loads were selected and included in the form of tables, contour plots and graphs.

Title of the Paper: A Wavelet-Based Voice Activity Detection Algorithm in Variable-Level Noise Environment
Authors as they appear in the Paper:
Email addresses of all the authors:
Number of paper pages: 11
Abstract: In this paper, a novel entropy-based voice activity detection (VAD) algorithm is presented in variable-level noise environment. Since the frequency energy of different types of noise focuses on different frequency subband, the effect of corrupted noise on each frequency subband is different. It is found that the seriously obscured frequency subbands have little word signal information left, and are harmful for detecting voice activity segment (VAS). First, we use bark-scale wavelet decomposition (BSWD) to split the input speech into 24 critical subbands. In order to discard the seriously corrupted frequency subband, a method of adaptive frequency subband extraction (AFSE) is then applied to only use the frequency subband. Next, we propose a measure of entropy defined on the spectrum domain of selected frequency subband to form a robust voice feature parameter. In addition, unvoiced is usually eliminated. An unvoiced detection is also integrated into the system to i!
mprove the intelligibility of voice. Experimental results show that the performance of this algorithm is superior to the G729B and other entropy-based VAD especially for variable-level background noise.

Abstract: The progress of wind-energy generation around the world in recent years has been consistently impressive. As more and more attention is paid to the increase of wind-turbine farms, a number of problems should be investigated in more detail. Among these problems, the transient stability of wind farms implemented with induction generators becomes necessary. The transient behavior and stability of wind farms with induction generators have been studied in this paper and some important operating conditions are analyzed. The impact of some important parameters such as wind speed and X/R ratio of the transmission line on the transient stability of wind farm and fault clearance time index, and operation during severe faults are all investigated. The results of simulation show that these parameters have a great impact on the transient stability of the wind farm. Power-system oscillation caused by a transient fault in the vicinity of a wind turbine is the worst-case scenario,!
as the wind turbine has to ride through the fault and keep its stability.

Abstract: In this paper, we formulate the design harmonic filter problem taking by considering investment cost and operational constraints. System quality can generally be achieved by installing harmonic filters in industry systems, thereby reducing the harmonics. Users prioritize the performance and cost of filters as primary concerns. This new formulation uses a combinatorial optimization problem with a non-differentiable objective function. A solution methodology based on an optimization technique-simulated annealing is also proposed to determine the size of filters with minimum cost. As a result, the proposed solution methodology can offer the optimal size and minimum cost of design filters. In conclusion, a solution algorithm is developed to derive the global optimal solution and test on a 69kV industrial power system with highly promising results.

Title of the Paper: software agents as a versatile simulation tool to model complex systems
Authors as they appear in the Paper: Filippo Neri
Email addresses of all the authors: filipponeri@yahoo.com
Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: In the paper we will describe how the software agent paradigm can be a powerful and versatile simulation tool to model and study complex systems. Software agents allow to approximate the behaviour of complex systems under several scenario conditions. In some cases, software agents can also be used to approximate solutions to difficult problems occurring in complex systems. To support our position, we will introduce two different domains: consumer decisions in fast moving consumers goods and mobile telecom network management applications. Finally we will show how a software agent modeling approach could be used to study their behaviour in various scenarios.

Abstract: Current trends in the design of helicopter have shown that in order to be economically viable and competitive it is necessary to investigate new design concept which may give an improvement in performance and operational flexibility goal and expanding the flight envelope of rotorcraft, but must be shown to be cost-effective. The helicopter has carved a niche for itself as an efficient vertical take-off and landing aircraft, but have limitation on its cruising speed due to restrictions of retreating blade stall and advancing blade compressibility on the rotor in edgewise flight. This is a challenging task, which might be solved by the use of new design approach. It is believed that the application of a compound helicopter design concept would assist in achieving such a task. This paper describes an investigation aimed to examine the suitability of a compound helicopter design concept, allowing for the use of a combined conventional fix-wing aircraft with single prop!
eller in the nose and conventional helicopter to satisfy the above objectives. The paper describes the phenomenon of presents VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) aircraft. It then discusses the benefits and penalties of the presents concept. Description is then given of the concept proposed compound helicopter which incorporated combines main rotor-wing-auxiliary propeller. It concludes with a discussion of the results and recommendations for future work.

Abstract: The objective of this study is to analyze and assess the impact of traffic noise from newly expanded Bangkok-Chonburi Motorway, which links Bangkok-the capital of Thailand to Pattaya-the famous beach resort in the eastern seaboard of the country, with the utilization of visualized noise mapping technique in plan view and cross-section of this motorway. The newly expansion of main roadways of this motorway is to serve the higher demand of traffic flow on this highway section due to opening of the new Suvarnabhumi International Airport nearby this motorway. The high speed and higher volume on this motorway creates the higher traffic noise impact to the vicinity area around this motorway. Traffic noise data are collected on several locations along the side of motorway together with traffic characteristics in simultaneous basis. The physical dimensions of motorway are also measured. Motorway traffic noise model is then applied with all of the measured parameters i!
n order to provide prediction results of traffic noise levels from this motorway, which shows a highly significant in the prediction results against the measured ones. This model is then used to estimate noise levels on the uniform grid platform around the study area for both in the plan view (horizontal plane) and cross-section (vertical plane) of the vicinity area around the motorway. From the analysis result, this newly expanded motorway create traffic noise level in Leq(1hr) index higher than the FHWA's standard level of 72 dBA and 67 dBA for office building and residential housing respectively at the location of right-of-way of this motorway. In order to build the office buildings or residential houses without any barrier and window protection, the safe building line should be located at about 75 m or 190 m respectively from the right-of-way of this motorway.

Email addresses of all the authors: kfaraj@wit.edu.ps
Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: This paper introduces the fundamental theory, algorithms, and terminology regarding synthesis of multi-level Dual Reed-Muller expressions. The increasing interest in using Dual Reed-Muller expressions as a way of representing and manipulating switching functions, and as a mean of designing circuits based on OR/XNOR gates has led to this research. Up to present there are only two-level Dual Reed-Muller minimization algorithms in use, although the need for multi-level minimization algorithms has been recognized. A new theory and algorithms for multi-level Dual Reed-Muller minimization have been developed. It introduces a Dual Reed-Muller factored form and uses algebraic algorithms for factorization decomposition, re-substitution, and extraction of common cubes and sub-expressions.

Abstract: In high power applications, power division methods for AC high power converters and machines are used. The rated power of the elementary converters and/or machines becomes lower when the number of converters and/or machines increases. Therefore, power switches with high switching frequency can be used. Then, the current and torque ripples would have theoretically lower amplitude. The speed control of a double stator synchronous machine supplied by two independent voltage source inverters, which is an application of power division, is studied in this paper. After presenting the system under consideration, three strategies of current control are treated. The speed control method is also discussed.

Abstract: In high power applications, power division methods for AC high power converters and machines are used. The rated power of the elementary converters and/or machines becomes lower when the number of converters and/or machines increases. Therefore, power switches with high switching frequency can be used. Then, the current and torque ripples would have theoretically lower amplitude. The speed control of a double stator synchronous machine supplied by two independent voltage source inverters, which is an application of power division, is studied in this paper. After presenting the system under consideration, three strategies of current control are treated. The speed control method is also discussed.
Keywords: Multi-converter, Double stator machine, Power division, Current and Speed control.

Abstract: Abstract: An Efficient Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO) technique, employed to solve Economic Dispatch (ED) problems including losses in power system is presented in this paper. With practical consideration, ED will have nonsmooth cost functions with equality and inequality constraints that make the problem, a large-scale highly constrained nonlinear optimization problem. The proposed method expands the original PSO to handle a different approach for satisfying those constraints. In this paper, an Efficient Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO) technique is employed so that faster convergence is obtained for the same results published in IEEE Proceedings. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method it is being applied to test ED problems, one with smooth and other with non smooth cost functions considering valve-point loading effects. Comparison with other optimization techniques showed the superiority of the proposed EPSO approach and confirmed its pot!
ential for solving nonlinear economic load dispatch problems with losses.

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 .

Abstract: This paper presents the mitigation methods of PD on PIC in distribution line system. The area located near the coast will be selected as the pilot project because of having strong occurrence of PD which is mainly caused by salt contamination. The methods applied in this experiment consist of using tie wires made from an insulation sheath of low voltage cable, the sheath of PIC itself; composite tie wire and aluminium tie wire (reverse loop binding). Following the trial results, there are two methods that considered as the most effective ways for PD solving; binding PIC by using the PIC's insulation sheath and the composite tie wire instead of aluminium tie wire (conventional binding).

Abstract: N-alkanes with odd or even carbon numbers have two distinct patterns of behaviour. When they are being cooled, both odd and even n-alkanes larger than C20H42, could solidify in a hexagonal crystalline structure, also known as the "rotator phase". Upon further cooling the hexagonal structure could transform into other solid phase(s). In this study, the two solid phases (rotator and orthorhombic) are considered. The aim of this study is to examine the existence of the solid (wax)-solid (wax) along with the liquid hydrocarbon in the multicomponent systems. In order to pursue our objective, first a solid (rotator, Sá)-solid (orthorhombic, Sá) model, based on the regular solution theory was developed. The parameters of the two solid phases for the temperature and heat of fusion were determined. The developed model was initially validated for Sá-Sâ by using a binary mixture. Then, attempts were made to find the conditions at which the solid-solid-liquid (Sá-Sâ-L) eq!
uilibrium could exist. Mixtures used in this study included, three, four, five and multi-component systems. The Sá-L modelling has been discussed in the previous studies. The three-phase model did not converge to any solution for different tested fluids at different conditions.

Title of the Paper: Fast Information Retrieval from Web Pages
Authors as they appear in the Paper:
Email addresses of all the authors:

Abstract: In this paper, a new fast algorithm for information retrieval is presented. Such algorithm relies on performing cross correlation in the frequency domain between input data and the input weights of fast neural networks (FNNs). It is proved mathematically and practically that the number of computation steps required for the presented FNNs is less than that needed by conventional neural networks (CNNs). The main objective of Internet users is to find the required information with high efficiency and effectiveness. Finding information on an object's visual features is useful when specific keywords for the object are not known. Since intelligent mobile agent technology is expected to be a promising technology for information retrieval, there is a number of intelligent mobile agent based-information retrieval approaches have been proposed in recent years. Here, the work presented in [25] for image-based information retrieval using mobile agents is greatly enhanced. Mult!
iple information agents continuously traverse the Internet and collect images that are subsequently indexed based on image information such as the URL location, size, type and the date of indexation. In the search phase, the intelligent mobile agent receives the image of object as a query and searches the set of web pages that contain information about the object. This is done by matching the query to images on web pages faster than the work presented in [25]. Furthermore, by applying cross correlation, object detection becomes position independent. Moreover, by using neural networks, the object can be detected even with rotation, scaling, noise, distortion or deformation in shape.

Abstract: Although PID control scheme is widely employed in industrial control systems, it is hard to search the model-free appropriate control gains for achieving good dynamic performance. The selected constant PID control gains can not achieve consistent control accuracy for different temperature setting points or testing runs. In addition, the temperature control system has nonlinear time-delay, time-varying, slow response speed and one-way control input characteristics, it is also difficult to accurately estimate the dynamic model for designing a model-based general purpose temperature controller to achieve good control performance. Recently, temperature is become an important production control parameter in chemical and semiconductor industry. How to design an appropriate gains auto-tuning control strategy for achieving accurate temperature control accuracy has become an interesting research topic. Here two model-free auto-tuning PID and fuzzy PID control strategies are!
introduced to design a general temperature controller for different plants. The designed temperature control plants have heater control phase only without cooling control function. The experimental results show that these control schemes can obtain reasonable control performance. The steady state error of the step input response is less than 0.2 without overshoot. The setting point dynamic response behaviour is better than that of the model-based IMC-PID due to the modelling uncertainty and modelling error.
Keywords: Temperature control, gain auto-tuning, fuzzy PID and one-way control input.

Title of the Paper: Universal regular autonomous asynchronous systems: fixed points, equivalencies and dynamical bifurcations
Authors as they appear in the Paper: Serban Vlad
Email addresses of all the authors: serban_e_vlad@yahoo.com
Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: The asynchronous systems are the non-deterministic models of the asynchronous circuits from the digital electrical engineering. In the autonomous version, such a system is a set of functions x:R->{0,1}x...x{0,1} called states (R is the time set). If the asynchronous system is defined by making use of a so-called generator function F:{0,1}x...x{0,1}->{0,1}x...x{0,1}, then it is called regular. The property of universality means the greatest in the sense of the inclusion. The purpose of the paper is that of defining and characterizing the fixed points, the equivalencies and the dynamical bifurcations of the universal regular autonomous asynchronous systems. We use analogies with the dynamical systems theory.

Abstract: Abstract: KDD is a rapidly expanding field with promise for great applicability. Knowledge discovery became the new database technology for the incoming years. The need for automated discovery tools caused an explosion in the number and type of tools available commercially and in the public domain. These requirements encouraged us to propose a new KDD model so called ODBC_KDD(2) described in [39] ."One of the ODBC_KDD(2) model requirements is the implementation of a query language that could handle DM rules"[40]. This query language called Knowledge Discovery Query Language (KDQL). KDQL is a companion of two major tasks in KDD such as DM and Data Visualization. These requirements motivates us to think for the possibility of joining the two tasks of KDD commonly known as Data Mining (DM) and Data Visualization (DV) together in one single KDD process. Integrating DM and DV requires a new database concept. This database concept is called "i-extended database". I-e!
xtended database will be retrieved by the use of KDQL. This I-extended database described in details in [42]. KDQL RULES operations were also theoretically proposed in this paper and some examples were given as well. KDQL RULES are used only to find out the association rules in i-extended database we have. The development and results of this paper would contribute to the data mining and visualization fields in several ways. The formulation of a set of heuristics for algorithms selection will help to clarify the matching between a specific problem and the set of best-suited algorithms or techniques (i.e. association rules) for solving it. These guidelines are expected to be useful and applicable to real DM projects.

Abstract: Generating a multi-sensor precipitation product over radar gap area is the objective of the present study. A merging approach is developed to improve Satellite-based Precipitation Estimates (SPE) by merging with ground-based Radar Rainfall (RR) estimates because remote satellites are the only source that can collect information from areas where are inaccessible by ground-based radar and/or rain gauge networks. The merging algorithm is capable of extending radar information from pixels with available RR to their neighboring pixels with no radar information by merging RR with SPE, which is, usually, available for all pixels. SPE is combined with RR using the weighting-based approach of Successive Correction Method (SCM) after local bias correction of SPE with respect to RR. High resolution satellite infrared-based rainfall estimates from the NESDIS Hydro Estimator algorithm (HE), at hourly 4 km „e 4 km basis, is selected to be merged with radar-based NEXRAD Stage IV !
rainfall measurements to generate rainfall product for the radar gap areas. To be able to validate the generated rainfall against NEXRAD, different size areas with available radar rainfall are selected as radar gap regions. The developed merging technique is evaluated for several study cases in summer 2003 and 2004. The results show that generated rainfall for the radar gap areas are more correlated with RR (average 0.67) than original HE with RR (average 0.36) and the RMSE between merged and radar rainfall (average 2.8 mm) is less than the RMSE between satellite and radar rainfall (average 4.48 mm). And also, the pattern and intensity of the generated rainfall for radar gap area became more similar to the pattern and value of RR. In addition, the enhancement of the generated rainfall with respect to RR is more significant for high rainfall amounts.

Abstract: Incremental Transmission Loss (ITL) factors have been widely used for decades as part of the solution of the classical power dispatch problem. In recent years, ITL factors have acquired renewed importance because they can be integrated in the spot pricing problem in order to allocate transmission losses among market participants. However, uncertainty in demand consumption as well as generation from renewable sources either with or without stochastic behavior, strongly affects nodal power injections and consequently the ITL factor pattern. This paper demonstrates that the effect of uncertainty upon ITL factors computation can be efficiently assessed using fuzzy programming. At a given operating point, location and time specific fuzzy ITL factors can be obtained from the results of running a Fuzzy Power Flow program where load and generation are represented as fuzzy sets. A general algorithm is developed and tested. Fuzzy set techniques provide a whole spectrum of fe!
asibility of the spot prices applied to each market agent. Proposed methodology has been applied to the 3-bus test system for didactic purposes.
Keywords: Incremental transmission loss factors, loss allocation, spot pricing.

Abstract: This paper presents a new feature vector set for noisy speech recognition in autocorrelation domain. The autocorrelation domain is well known for its pole preserving and noise separation properties. In this paper we will use the autocorrelation domain as an appropriate candidate for robust feature extraction. In our approach, extraction of mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) of the speech signals are proposed based on novel Differentiated Relative Higher Order Autocorrelation Coefficient Sequence Spectrum (DRHOASS). In this approach, initially the lower lags of the noisy speech autocorrelation sequence are discarded and then, the effect of noise is further suppressed using a high pass filter in autocorrelation domain. Finally, the feature vector set of the speech signal is found using the spectral peaks of the filtered autocorrelation sequence. We tested our features on the Hindi isolated-word task and found that it led to noticeable improvements over other !
autocorrelation-based and differential spetral-based methods.

Title of the Paper: Identification of the Most Significant Properties Influencing Tactile Fabric Comfort Using Regression Analysis

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: Engineered fabrics are being used increasingly in commercial and domain-specific systems. Such fabrics with specified consumer-desired characteristics can be computationally designed. Through the use of an extensive database that correlates sensory and mechanical properties with tactile comfort assessments, desired comfort can be predicted by measuring a limited number of properties. In this paper we are focusing on the most significant sensory and mechanical properties influencing tactile fabric comfort. Output systems can be optimized to exhibit the highest level of comfort by engineering a fabric with specific sensory and mechanical properties. This paper examines stepwise regression analysis and identifies the most significant properties influencing tactile fabric comfort. The reported Beta coefficients are the standardized regression coefficients. Their absolute magnitudes reflect their relative importance in predicting comfort values. A universe of 48 fabrics!
is examined to analyze and map the relations. The initial 17 mechanical and 17 sensory parameter sets are reduced to sets of 1 to 4 and 1 to 5 properties, respectively. Adjusted R2 values were 0.360 to 0.657 for mechanical and 0.713 to 0.863 for sensory parameters, reflecting sound goodness-of-fit measures, and providing reasonable ways for identifying the mechanical and sensory properties that are most significant influences on tactile fabric comfort. Elongation and hysteresis of shear force were found to be the most influential mechanical properties, while compression resilience rate and graininess were found to be the sensory properties that most impacted comfort.

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: In this paper we explore complex relationships between mechanical and sensory properties of fabrics, and the perceived tactile comfort. Mechanical properties, measured objectively by Kawabata Evaluation System for Fabrics (KES-FB), and handfeel properties, measured subjectively by sensory expert panel, are related to the tactile comfort of fabrics using statistical regression approaches. A universe of 48 fabrics is examined to analyze and map the relations. The initial 17 mechanical and 17 handfeel parameter sets were reduced to 4 and 5 properties, respectively. Adjusted R2 values were 0.657 for mechanical and 0.863 for handfeel parameters, reflecting sound goodness-of-fit measures, and providing reasonable ways for prediction of tactile fabric comfort from mechanical and handfeel parameters.

Abstract: Abstract: - Since opting to Outcome Based Education method, the teaching of the subject Material Technology had resorted to problem-based learning method to achieve the outcomes attributed to this course. For the students to attain communication skill and life-long learning, problem-based learning is utilized to replace traditional lectures and laboratory works. Traditionally, lectures are given for 28 hours in a 42-hour per semester course and the rest allocated for laboratory works. In the newly endorsed method, the lecture hours are reduced to 14 hours and the rest is for presentation and seminars by the students. As for laboratory work, instead of doing individual experiment with individual report, the whole laboratory work for the semester is designed as components of a project. The results of the transition are: the students are more interested to attend class especially during presentation sessions where they provide high commitment; for a descriptive-form !
courses, such as Materials Technology, boring lectures can be made interesting by the students themselves presenting the materials with the lecturer's guide and as for the laboratory work, no more free riders and lack of understanding the relationship between individual experiment with the problem to be solved. The work load of the students is calculated using the definition of notional credit hour and the new improved delivery method for this course still maintain the three credit allocation.

Abstract: - Medical image analysis is one of the research areas currently drawing strong interests of scientists and physicians because it can aid in clinical diagnosis on large scale. Diabetic retinopathy has been recognized as a leading cause of blindness among adults. Early detection and treatment of diabetic retinopathy is the key to preventing vision loss in diabetes. For the automated diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy, retinal images are used. The retinal image quality must be improved for the detection of features and abnormalities and for this purpose segmentation of retinal images is vital. In this article, we present a novel automated approach for segmentation of colored retinal images. Our segmentation technique smoothes and strengthens images by separating the background and noisy area from the overall image thus resulting in retinal image enhancement and lower processing time. It contains coarse segmentation and fine segmentation. Standard retinal images databas!
es Diaretdb0 and Diaretdb1 are used to test the validation of our segmentation technique. Experimental results indicate our approach is effective and can get higher segmentation accuracy.

Abstract: A method is presented for estimating hourly actual evapotranspiration from short natural vegetation or agricultural crops. The method, which can be used to calibrate remotely sensed evapotranspiration, consists of equating the ET flux equations based on the generalized Penman-Monteith (GPM) combination method and a humidity gradient (HG) method. By equating the GPM and HG expressions, a single unknown parameter, either the bulk surface resistance (rs) or aerodynamic resistance (ra), can be determined. This paper provides an overview of the technical approach used, and presents results of comparisons between the new method and eddy covariance systems in Florida and Puerto Rico. The new method performed well compared to the eddy covariance systems, and has the advantage of being relatively inexpensive. An example is presented in which the average surface temperature of a grass-covered field, located at the University of Puerto Rico Agricultural Experiment Statio!
n at Rio Piedras, PR (located within the San Juan metropolitan area), obtained by NASA's airborne Advanced Thermal and Land Applications Sensor (ATLAS), was corrected to provide accurate estimates of ET using a flux gradient equation.

Abstract: Algorithms have been developed for the determination of essential parameters such as Aerosol Size Distribution, Angstrom coefficient, and Single Scattering Albedo necessary in the determination of regional climatological model and weather prediction capabilities. The atmospheric power profile data for the calculations of these parameters have been obtained from Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) which is operational at City University of New York (CUNY). A similar system is near completion at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez (UPRM). Also, the data from the Lidar in the orbit (CALIPSO satellite) has been used to calculate the Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) for the western part of Puerto Rico and compare it to the AOD obtained from an AERONET network which is also located in the western region of Puerto Rico. The Calipso Lidar satellite transmits laser and collects backscattered light at two standard wavelengths (one wavelength at two polarizations). The AERON!
ET network is a complementary method of determining the Optical Depth of the aerosol. The three aforementioned systems operate based on multiple wavelength laser light transmission and reception. Each system is explored in this paper, and full emphasis is given to the Lidar system which presently is near operation at the UPRM, explaining the functionality of the Laser, optical telescope, optics, sensors, signal processing systems, the power profile reflected from the aerosols are obtained at standard wavelengths of 355, 532, and 1064nms, both at CUNY and UPRM. The plots of aerosol distribution in the column of atmosphere in terms of the essential aerosol parameters have been produced using the Lidar data over New York urban area.

Abstract: The transients in a HVDC system can temporarily change line currents, voltages, and power substantially from the reference steady-state values and the behavior of the system depends greatly upon the parameters of the converter controller. The DC system performances are affected by the AC system characteristics such as the short circuit ratio, and the AC system inertia. A controller which has good performance for a particular operating condition may not have sufficiently good performance under another operating condition or vice-versa. Performance of the controller also depends on the impedance at the rectifier and the inverter bus, which may vary according to the operating conditions of the AC network. A controller with self-coordinating adaptive capability can perform better in various situations. The proposed controller is tested at a very low SCR, the most critical value for system performance evaluation, and at the low inertia of the AC system. Simulation resu!
lts are compared between proposed controller, fuzzy tuned controller, gain scheduling controller, and fixed parameter controller. All simulations are conducted using MATLAB/SIMULINK software package.

Abstract: This paper presents the analysis of cloud droplet size distribution (DSD) and the use of a proxy variable for the parameters of the DSD to explore the possibility of detecting warm rainy clouds. Cloud DSD plays a paramount role in the parameterization of cloud microphysics in climate models. The droplet size distribution also plays a crucial role in determining the radiative properties of clouds and is usually obtained using satellite retrieval algorithms. This paper presents an analysis of the modified Gamma model which is used to represent the cloud DSD. The analysis of the DSD is conducted through the derivation of the distribution moments and their physical interpretation. The analysis includes the discussion of the mean, variance, effective radius, and effective variance of the DSD. Usually the effective radius is extracted from radiance measurements. However, since the modified Gamma distribution has two parameters it requires estimates of both the eff!
ective radius and effective variance to properly estimate cloud microphysics from radiance information.

Abstract: Abstract: - Due to its advantages, doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based variable-speed wind turbines (VSWT) are recently the most widely used topology of wind energy conversion systems (WECS). This paper provides a steady-state modeling and analysis of DFIG systems. A steady-state model for DFIG is derived based on wound-rotor induction machine 3rd order model with stator flux-oriented control scheme. This model is used for steady-state performance analysis of DFIG system connected directly to infinite bus considering optimal operation through following of the maximum power tracking characteristics. A fundamental steady-state stability criteria based on DFIG power-slip characteristics is used to study the steady-state stability of the system considering the entire maximum power-tracking characteristics. Also, the solo effect of the rotor voltage dq-components on the doubly fed induction machine (DFIM) steady-state performance and stability is analyzed. The !
results illustrate the steady-state stability limitations, as well as causes of steady-state instabilities of DFIG system as affected by the stator power demanded and the rotor-impressed variables. Moreover, DFIG rotor-speed range limitation causes and indicators that hinder steady-state stability are assessed. Therefore, the presented work is valuable for steady-state operation management of DFIG systems.

Title of the Paper: Fast Information Retrieval from Web Pages
Authors as they appear in the Paper: Hazem M. El-Bakry, Nikos Mastorakis
Email addresses of all the authors:
Number of paper pages: 19
Abstract: In this paper, a new fast algorithm for information retrieval is presented. Such algorithm relies on performing cross correlation in the frequency domain between input data and the input weights of fast neural networks (FNNs). It is proved mathematically and practically that the number of computation steps required for the presented FNNs is less than that needed by conventional neural networks (CNNs). The main objective of Internet users is to find the required information with high efficiency and effectiveness. Finding information on an object's visual features is useful when specific keywords for the object are not known. Since intelligent mobile agent technology is expected to be a promising technology for information retrieval, there is a number of intelligent mobile agent based-information retrieval approaches have been proposed in recent years. Here, the work presented in [25] for image-based information retrieval using mobile agents is greatly enhanced. Mult!
iple information agents continuously traverse the Internet and collect images that are subsequently indexed based on image information such as the URL location, size, type and the date of indexation. In the search phase, the intelligent mobile agent receives the image of object as a query and searches the set of web pages that contain information about the object. This is done by matching the query to images on web pages faster than the work presented in [25]. Furthermore, by applying cross correlation, object detection becomes position independent. Moreover, by using neural networks, the object can be detected even with rotation, scaling, noise, distortion or deformation in shape.

Abstract: The world Telecommunications industry caters to both Wireline and Wireless business. In the present Fourth Generation (4G) wireless world rapid change is the only constant factor. The biggest paradigm change being the move from Circuit Switched to Packet Switched technologies. Voice over Packet (VoP) is transforming telephony by rapidly replacing the legacy circuit-switched technology. The VoP technology unites the telephony and data worlds allowing voice, facsimile, and video traffics to be relayed over managed IP networks or corporate intranets around the world. In this paper, various aspects of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) are discussed, including the architecture for the NGMN, challenges, standards and the application areas. In addition a new approach for fast detecting certain information in VOIP is presented. The entire data are collected together in a long vector and then tested as a one input pattern. Proposed fast time delay neural networks (FTDNNs)!
use cross correlation in the frequency domain between the tested data and the input weights of neural networks. It is proved mathematically and practically that the number of computation steps required for the presented time delay neural networks is less than that needed by conventional time delay neural networks (CTDNNs). Simulation results using MATLAB confirm the theoretical computations.

Abstract: In association rules mining application, some rules can provide a lot of useful knowledge for us, though these rules have the lower Support, called weak-support mode in this paper. However, in existing Support-Confidence framework, the rules with lower Support will be lost. Thus, this paper puts forward a new association rules mining technique, which sets up the lower support threshold value to ensure the weak-support rules to be mined and applies Csupport measure to recognise weak-support mode. Then, a new measure, called as N-confidence, is used to restrict mining size in generation frequent sets, which can strain away the weak-support rules without correlation. Furthermore, this paper puts forward a new interesting measure to distinguish from the association rules interesting degree. In order to enhance mining efficiency, a novel algorithm, namely FT-Miner, is presented to discover association rules in a forest by using two new data structures, including UFP-Tre!
e and FP-Forest. The experimentation shows that the algorithm not only mines useful and weak-support rules, but also has better capability than classical association rules mining algorithms.

Abstract: Geoacoustic parameters inverted from reverberation vertical correlation (RVC) are often directly used to predict the acoustic transmission loss (ATL) in shallow water. However, little work has been applied to the problem of quantifying uncertainty in predicted ATL produced by geoacoustic parameters uncertainties. In this paper, a posterior predictive probability analysis method (PPPAM) is first employed to evaluate the effects of geoacoustic parameters uncertainties inverted from RVC data on both coherent and incoherent ATL predictions. Where, the geoacoustic parameters uncertainties are characterized by their posterior probability distributions (PPD). And then the uncertainties of ATL prediction are analyzed quantitatively based on the posterior predictive probability distributions of ATL, which are the function of the PPDs of geoacoustic parameters and can be estimated using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling method. Finally, the Yellow Sea Reverberation experi!
mental results illustrate the PPPAM and show that: (1) in the range from 1km to 5 km, the mean values of 90% posterior credibility intervals (PCI) of coherent and incoherent ATL in frequency range of 500~800Hz exceed 6dB and 3dB, respectively; (2) the coherent ATL are more difficult to predict near the positions of destructive interference of the normal modes. These results derived in this paper are helpful to evaluate and improve the detection and localization performance of sonar system.

Title of the Paper: classification of natural and artificial images based on a maximum entropy

Abstract: A classification phase is crucial before the development of an image retrieval tool in the World Wide Web. To accelerate this classification and reduce the associated noise, we split first the images set in two semantic types, natural and artificial. This categorization is based on the selection of several features derived from the color and texture information that discriminates natural images from artificial ones. Usually, this features selection is performed in an empirical way and needs huge amount of experimentations. In order to avoid such experimentations and to represent efficiently the visual contents using a small number of features, we propose a new approach for evaluating their relevance. First, we select some features that could classify the images in two types: natural and artificial. Then, we elaborate a technique, based on the maximum entropy principle, to measure the relevance for each one of them. Hence we select the most relevant, and consequent!
ly improve the classification results.

Abstract: Tests to compare and understand the adsorption capability of some locally produced activated charcoal (coconut shell) samples with methanol were taken under laboratory conditions. An experimental test rig was set up. Data obtained from the experiments were fitted to Dubinin-Radushkevitch ( ) and Dubinin-Astakhov ( ) equations. The results obtained and can be used to select the most favorable pair. Activated carbon AC-5060 shows the best adsorption capacity for methanol and the highest coefficient of performance (COP). This is chosen as the adsorbent in a dual purpose solar adsorption system. The adsorption system is subjected to parametric analyses. The parameters such as second adsorber bed temperature, condenser temperature, and mass of ice are varied and performance evaluated. Malaysian activated carbon is not significant for ice making in the dual purpose adsorption systems at condenser- adsorption temperature equal or higher than 35oC. The most efficient way t!
o improve the dual purpose system under the hot climate is to search for enhanced adsorbent material in terms of adsorption capacity and thermal conductivity.

Abstract: Much effort has been spent on the development of hybrid PVT, in order to improve it efficiency of both, thermal and cell. The combination of thermal and cell efficiencies, which is commonly known as "total efficiency of the PVT", is influenced by many system design parameters and operating conditions. Due to that, seven new design configurations of absorber collectors are designed, investigated and compared. Simulations were performed to determine the best absorber design that gives the highest efficiency (total efficiency). In these simulations, the system is analyzed with various parameters, such as solar radiation, ambient temperature, and flow rate conditions. It is assumed that the collector is represented as a flat plate thermal collector with single glazing sheet. Based on these simulations, spiral flow design proved to be the best design with the highest thermal efficiency of 50.12% and corresponding cell efficiency of 11.98%.

Abstract: After the development of the computer, the development of IT has changed not only computer techniques, but also human life and the environment. It has also ushered in the era of ubiquitous environments. Recently, from device-centered automatic solutions, human emotion considered as an intelligent solution has been investigated. According to this idea, the importance of emotional technology has been raised. However, for investigating human emotion accurately, a technique that is able to recognize data comprehensively, including various and complex user context data, the condition of the user space, and changes to this space, are in demand. Additionally, research on sensors that can recognize various environments and studies of reasoning algorithms are necessary. In particular, research related to standard platforms and storage techniques for the recognition, reasoning, expression, and similar areas is necessary for extracting different personal attributes of variabl!
es such as gender, age, birth area, and race. Thus, the paper outlines the design of an intelligent LED affective lighting system that can determine the emotional condition of a user and supply light adequate to it after adaptively recognizing a user¡¯s physiological response as well as the space in which a user is active.

Abstract: This paper is concerned with determination of optimal lot size for an economic production quantity model with scrap and random breakdown occurring in backorder replenishing period. In most real-life manufacturing systems, generation of defective items and random breakdown of production equipment are inevitable. To deal with the stochastic machine failures, production planners practically calculate the mean time between failures (MTBF) and establish the robust plan accordingly, in terms of optimal lot size that minimizes total production-inventory costs for such an unreliable system. Random scrap rate is considered in this study, and breakdown is assumed to occur in the backorder filling period. Mathematical modeling and analysis is used and the renewal reward theorem is employed to cope with the variable cycle length. An optimal manufacturing lot size that minimizes the long-run average costs for such an imperfect system is derived. Numerical example is provided to!
demonstrate its practical usages.

Abstract: The interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations have very significant impacts on the domestic economy and capital market development. Adopted from the traditional theory such as the interest rate parity, capital flow theory and the classical theory of IS-LM model, the paper does an in-depth theoretical and empirical research and analysis on the interaction and complex relationship among the three aspects of RMB interest rates, RMB appreciation and securities prices when they change. Research shows that there are strong correlations between Chinese foreign exchange market, money market and stock market; with the RMB appreciation and interest rate increase, the capital accumulation effect and stock assets revaluation effect will promote the overall price level of Chinese Capital market rising. At the same time, in view of the less flexibility in current RMB interest rate and exchange rate, and the reverse impacts between currency appreciation and interest rates, we !
expect that the effect from RMB appreciation on the capital market will be weakened compared to the past situation of yen appreciation. However, due to the effect that the RMB appreciation is expected to form some international hot money flows, which maybe form a Chinese economic bubble, this trends can not be neglected, it should be did to maintain a high vigilance and to cautiously deal with the relationship between the RMB appreciation and interest rates rise particularly

Title of the Paper: The Structure and Essential Characteristics of Information-Literate Knowledge Workers in Information Systems

Email addresses of all the authors:
Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: There appear many inconsistent and often conflicting views and terms for information, data and meaning in the field of information systems. This confusion might be a result of the lack of adequate understanding of meaning. We argue that meaning is created through interpretation by a subject (a human agent). We outline a conceptual framework for looking at information flow, which consists of an information source, information bears (carriers), and information receivers. This constitutes a backdrop of our main investigation on how what a piece of information means to a person takes place. We draw on Heidegger¡¯s work on the notion of ¡®being¡¯ to investigate the structure and essential characteristics of information-literate knowledge worker in the realization of possible impact of information whereby to understand the essence of inter-subjective and subjective meaning. We observe that meaning is the link between information and data. To be able to drawing meaning fr!
om information embodies the ability of an interpreter in understanding or interpret information, viz. her/his horizon of interpret. What is revealed here would seem highly desirable for both theoretic research and practice.
Keywords: information-literate knowledge workers, information systems, information, meaning, Heidegger

Title of the Paper: The Analysis of Uncertain Knowledge Based on Meaning of Information
Authors as they appear in the Paper:
Email addresses of all the authors:
Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: The paper discusses four types of knowledge concepts, especially three kinds of uncertain knowledge, based on relationships among data, information and meaning. The goal is to fuse research results on knowledge engineering and epistemology. We analyze four kinds of basic connection forms (i.e. meaning) between information and dada by using formal context, and obtain their physical signification. Following Dretske¡¯s semantic information theory, we analyze information entropy of the four types of meaning. Then using the information entropy obtained, we look at how data convey information content, and how the types of meaning relate to different concepts in knowledge. Finally, we realize that uncertain knowledge is involved in all the above, therefore we further express the four types of meaning (i.e., four types of connections between information and data) by using Rough Set, and which deepens our understanding of uncertain knowledge.
Keywords: data, information, meaning, uncertain knowledge

Abstract: Shape memory alloys (SMAs), smart materials, play an increasingly important role in the intelligent systems performance due to their unique properties and behavior. The paper presents the design strategy for a typical actuator of intelligent systems, using as active element the SMA cantilever strip. The attention was focused on thermal and microscopic analysis experiments, in order to determine the transformation temperatures and the structures of the two phases for the studied SMA element. For design optimization, a comprehensive graphical interface (based on the thermal analysis results), which runs under Visual Basic environment, has been developed for the SMA cantilever strip configuration.
