Abstract: The aims of this study deals with the identification an evaluation of the linkage between the vibratory intensive pollutant industrial sources and the vibration level at these industrial site proximities. This analysis acquires high significance when at the side of the site there are the civil constructions, with preponderant human activities, or habitable areas. Based on the virtual instrumentation developed in LabVIEW™ graphical programming package, and using the multipoint spectral analysis method, the authors succeeds to put into the evidence the influences or the absence of these, regarding the vibration sources and their effects on the potential sensitive destinations. The global evaluation method helps the identification and the analysis of this phenomenon. The instrumental tests were performed at the ASTRA Factory, Arad, Romania, on the forges sector, and on proximity zones.

Abstract: Interpolation for sampled-values with non-uniform sampling points is required for various cases of signal processing. In such a case, sampling functions are useful to interpolate sampled-values and then to generate signals as a linear combination of the sampling basis weighted by a sequence of the sampled-values. This paper proposes sampling functions for non-uniform sampling points, each of which is composed with piecewise polynomials of degree 2. We name the sampling functions the fluency DA functions of degree 2. The fluency DA functions generate smooth and undulate signals from a sequence of sampled-values.

Abstract: The purpose of this work is analysis of computational language concepts and introduction of novel pertinent ones in order to provide a new computational metamodel of interaction signatures in UML4ODP FDIS. we mainly introduce the concept of Functional computational interface which unify signal and operation interfaces notions. The unification of signal and operation interactions concepts is presented by introducing the Parameterized interaction concept. We show that parameterized interactions are of two main kinds; namely, primitives and compounds. we also introduce the notion of incoming and outgoing primitives. As an application of our modeling choices we redefine interaction, refinement and type checking rules in a concise manner, and then specify them using the useful specification functionalities of OCL 2.0, showing how novel definitions as well as their specification are easy to read, write and understand.

Abstract: One of the major causes of voltage instability is the reactive power limit of the system. Improving the system's reactive power handling capacity via Flexible AC transmission System (FACTS) devices is a remedy for prevention of voltage instability and hence voltage collapse. In this paper, the effects of FACTS controllers, on voltage collapse will be studied. continuation power flow is used to evaluate the effects of these devices on system loadability.The IEEE-14 bus system is simulated to test the increasing loadability. It is found that these controllers significantly increase the loadability margin of power systems.

Title of the Paper: Fast Evolution of Large Digital Circuits
Authors as they appear in the Paper: Xiaoxuan She
Email addresses of all the authors: chamb_she@hotmail.com
Number of paper pages: 13
Abstract: Evolvable hardware (EHW) refers to self-reconfiguration hardware design, where the configuration is under the control of an evolution algorithm. One of the main difficulties in using EHW to solve real-world problems is scalability, which limits the size of the circuit that may be evolved. This paper outlines evolvable hardware based on a 2-LUT (2-input lookup table) array, which allows the evolution of large circuits via decomposition. The proposed EHW has been tested with multipliers and logic circuits taken from the Microelectronics Centre of North Carolina (MCNC) benchmark library. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme improves the evolution of logic circuits in terms of the number of generations, area and delay, reduces computational time and enables the evolution of large circuits. The proposed EHW automatically generates a complete circuit netlist in a SDRAM. Because of the low cost and large data storage of a SDRAM, the evolvable hard!
ware provides a good platform to evolve large circuits.

Abstract: An Integration of GIS and Digital Photogrammetry for Conservation of Monuments Geographical Information Systems (GIS) represent an applicable branch of information technology. GIS support the import of geospatial data from a variety of sources, including imagery. An appropriate environment for providing the spatial information needed by architects working with historic buildings and archaeologists might be soft-copy photogrammetry coupled with, or linked to, GIS, forming an Archaeological/Architectural Information System (A/AIS). Reasons for this convey is the simplicity of digital photogrammetry procedures, extensive knowledge and understanding of certain off-the-shelf GIS packages and the scarcity of personnel and equipment capable of performing hard-copy photogrammetric tasks. Technical reasons for considering a GIS package as a component of A/AIS include: · An accessible archive management system, · Visualisation tools, · CAD tools, · Use of a world coordinate !
system, and, · Data base tables linked to graphic objects. The contribution of digital photogrammetry, CAD system and GIS present attractive tools and solutions to the problems experienced by archaeologists, historians and architects concerned with historic buildings, and other objects. However it is necessary to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of these tools and solutions, if it is to be certain that the proposed A/AIS meets the needs of the proposed users. The approaches include digital image enhancement, digital rectification and restitution, feature extraction for the creation of 3D GIS models from the photogrammetric record and the computer visualisation of cultural buildings. This paper also highlights the creation and implementation of an A/AIS by integrating digital terrestrial photogrammetry and AutoCAD facilities as applicable to support the restoration of Anobanini Rock, a project in Iran.

Abstract: This paper presents a design and implementation of a monitoring and control system for the three-phase induction motor based on programmable logic controller (PLC) technology. Also, the implementation of the hardware and software for speed control and protection with the results obtained from tests on induction motor performance is provided. The PLC correlates the operational parameters to the speed requested by the user and monitors the system during normal operation and under trip conditions. Tests of the induction motor system driven by inverter and controlled by PLC prove a higher accuracy in speed regulation as compared to a conventional V/f control system. The efficiency of PLC control is increased at high speeds up to 95% of the synchronous speed. Thus, PLC proves themselves as a very versatile and effective tool in industrial control of electric drives.

Abstract: Databases' capability is limited in terms of inference. Especially, when users explore information beyond the scope of data within databases, the databases normally cannot provide the information. The underlying reason of the problem is that queries are answered based on a direct match between a query and data (up to aggregations of the data). We observe that it is possible to find information from a database beyond that. To this end, we propose a framework for information content reasoning in a database. A number of basic concepts are defined first. Then we present the framework and explain how it works. Moreover, we describe how such a framework is implemented by means of a prototype including a test with sample queries.

Abstract: This paper will explore the integration of learning modes into a single neural network structure in which layers of neurons and even individual neurons adopt different modes. There are several reasons to explore modal learning in neural networks. One motivation is to overcome the inherent limitations of any given mode (for example some modes memorise specific features, others average across features, and both approaches may be relevant according to the circumstances); another is inspiration from neuroscience, cognitive science and human learning, where it is impossible to build a serious model without consideration of multiple modes; and a third reason is non-stationary input data, or time-variant learning objectives, where the required mode is a function of time. Several modal learning ideas with an example application will be presented: The Snap-Drift Neural Network (SDNN) which toggles its learning between two modes, is incorporated into an on-line system to pro!
vide carefully targeted guidance and feedback to students; and an adaptive function neural network (ADFUNN), in which adaptation applies simultaneously to both the weights and the individual neuron activation functions. The combination of the two modal learning methods, in the form of Snap-drift ADaptive FUnction Neural Network (SADFUNN) is applied to optical and pen-based recognition of handwritten digits with results that demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.

Abstract: A method for the estimation of the state-of-charge in lead-acid batteries for electric vehicles is investigated. The electrochemistry theorem is introduced to measure the resistance effect of the electrode reaction and to estimate the internal energy loss and the electrolyte specific gravity in batteries. The proposed algorithms can accuracy compute the state-of-charge of the lead-acid batteries, that the variations of the electrochemical resistance in the electrolyte concentrations are estimated for the state-of-charge. The approach is based on the idea of constructing the real time approach that can be implemented by a digital signal processor. The motivation of this work is to explore the problem of different procedures on the charged and discharged of the lead-acid batteries to obtain the variations in the charge-discharge and resistance profiles. The provided method shows that it is validated for estimation the capacitances and residue energies.

Abstract: This paper addresses a modified bandpass ring resonator filter providing compact size, low insertion-loss, wide bandwidth, sharp rejection and suppressed higher order modes. Typically, ring resonator filters suffer from large occupation area and limited out of band rejection. These limitations are tackled in this work by means of a threefold approach. On the one hand, the use of internal folded stubs allows the exploitation of the internal ring area yielding more than 70% of overall size reduction with respect to conventional orthogonal straight stubs solution. On the other hand, the introduction of Defected Ground Structures (DGS) and Uniplanar Compact-Photonic Bandgap (UC-PBG) structures, formed by etching patterns in the ground plane of the filter, enhances by great extends the rejection of higher order modes providing a stopband that reaches 4.7 GHz beside offering a further advantage in terms of size reduction. The two approaches are first separately validated!
and then simultaneously combined to provide an optimized filter design. Finally, a solution employing via holes to replace the tuning stubs is explored in order to extend the lower stopband. EM simulation, equivalent circuit model, as well as measurement results validate the followed design approach and are in excellent agreement within each other.

Abstract: Seveso II Directive imposes for high hazardous plants quantitative risk evaluation of the major accident. In a general context the risk is defined as product between frequency and consequences of accident state. There are five steps in quantitative risk assessment: identification of significant accident initiating events, development of accident sequences, frequency estimation for accident sequences, computation of post accident events parameters and consequences estimation. In the case of hazardous emissions, post accident events characterization means calculus of flow rates, quantities and duration. The paper presents mathematical models used to describe the process fluids release in emergency states, locally and by safety systems, as well as the results obtained with simulation programs, elaborated for the heavy water concentrations plants based on chemical exchange between water and hydrogen sulphid.

Abstract: Ornamental horticulture and landscape design are gaining popularity even in regions where water is scarce and climatic conditions are extreme. The Sultanate of Oman, where this study was conducted, is located in the southeastern Arabian Peninsula where temperature reach over 45 oC during the summer months and an average annual rainfall below 100 mm. Therefore, Oman is suitable only for arid landscape, or zeriscape, that utilizes mostly native or exotic plants that are adapted to high temperatures and low water requirements. Sultan Qaboos University is the premier public university in the country. Landscape program is a new field that is now being established in the College of Agricultural & Marine Sciences. Undergraduate students majoring in Crop Sciences were enrolled in an introductory course 'CROP 2011 Ornamental Horticulture' that teaches the basics of ornamental horticulture and landscape architecture. As a requirement of the course, !
students were asked to demonstrate applied landscaping skills through a planned project in a selected area on campus. Low cost tools and software (online and offline versions) were used to teach students the principles of design and their applications. The procedure and results that will be discussed in this paper will include learning the design principles and the three stages of the project design, i.e. site and plant selection, concept mapping and computer-aided landscape designs. Effective use of low-cost tools and reflections of the student landscape learning abilities and outcomes are discussed.

Abstract: TheWorldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access system¡¦s (WIMAX, IEEE 802.16) broadband networks is an attractive solution for high-bandwidth wireless access network. In the context of a wireless broadband access network, the term open real-time access implies the ability of multiple service BS (base station) to share the deployed access network infrastructure to make available to the SSs (subscribe Station). This paper contains brief variable rate control strategies for real-time multimedia VBR (Variable Bit Rate) service frame over IEEE 802.16 broadband networks. A data rate control mechanism is derived for the case where the downlink channel provides real time polling bandwidth allocation service while keeping the traffic rate parameter constant. The paper shows that common queue scheduling algorithms have some bandwidth allocation fairness problems for real time polling under the WIMAX system (IEEE 802.16) MAC layer. In other words, the use of a VBR real-ti!
me polling service by a WIMAX system results in additional access latency jitter and bandwidth allocation disorder in the transmitted variable data rate of a multimedia stream, during the base station¡¦s regular time interval polling of Subscribe Station (SSs) for the contention bandwidth request period. However, this scheduling algorithm solves SSs contented bandwidth resource problems, depending on the real-time polling service (rtPS) quality of service function under ranging response non-contention polling period, as the adopted fairness bandwidth allocation max-min algorithm is the only time constraint condition for transmitting real-time multimedia video or VOIP in the 802.16 wireless broadband environment. In addition, we utilized an NS2 simulation to analyze VBR stream capacity, and show that the extended-rtPS by fairness Max-Min algorithm can support more multimedia stream users than other rtPS scheduler algorithms.

Abstract: Surveying and structural engineers, archaeologists and architects need precise information. Close range digital photogrammetric techniques provide the means to do exactly that, particularly with respect to the spatial information, by allowing 3-D coordinates of photographed features to be accurately gathered, with a precision of about 0.4cm, and archived in an information system. This greatly enhances the flexibility of data usage, allowing it to be translated and interpreted in many different forms, including output as drawings or as 3-D CAD models. Geographical Information System (GIS) represent a highly relevant branch of information technology. GIS support the import of geospatial data from a variety of sources, including imagery. An appropriate environment for providing the spatial information needed by architects working with historic buildings and archaeologists might be soft-copy photogrammetry coupled with, or linked to, GIS, forming an Archaeological/Arch!
itectural Information System (A/AIS). The practical methodology for using digital terrestrial photogrammetry in sites of archaeological and architectural interest depends on the location, position, shape, size, dimension, accuracy and location of the object. More specifically guidelines have emerged from the author's investigations in the presented project, the Hunter Memorial (located at the University of Glasgow) survey was with a digital camera.

Abstract: A…fnite element method is used to study the thermoelastic interactions in an elastic half space subjected to a ramp-type heating. The governing equations are taken in a unified system from which the …field equations for coupled thermoelasticity as well as for generalized thermoelasticity can be easily obtained as particular cases. Due attention has been paid to the …finite time of rise of temperature, displacement and stress. The problem has been solved numerically using a…finite element method (FEM). The non-dimensional governing equations are solved by (FEM). Numerical results for the temperature distribu- tion, displacement and thermal stress are represented graphically. A comparison is made with the results predicted by the three theories

Abstract: - In the areas of engineering education due to various shortcomings of the traditional laboratories, virtual laboratories have appeared as a potential alternative to traditional laboratories. Every system – mechanical, electrical, biological– can be accurately described by a mathematical model. The models can be applied in practice because the computers allow us to solve it in a numerically way. In this paper, we focus on the theory of the modeling, applied on the areas of electrical machines. Three key problems are discussed in this application: the purpose, the content and the impact of such a laboratory in studying and learning the scientific and engineering principles of electrical machines areas.

Abstract: The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (FKE) teaching and learning processes was certified to ISO 9001:2000 and now seeks the Engineering Accreditation Council of Malaysia (EAC) approval. One of FKE’s top management commitment is to ensure the programme accreditation requirements are met. EAC adopts American Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology 2000 (ABET) principles which promote outcome based education (OBE) learning process. OBE calls for the evaluation of the course learning outcomes (CLO) as specified in each Course Outline. Performance measurement has been largely dependent on students’ performance in carrying out tasks such as tests, quizzes or submission of assignments. Evaluation on the performance outputs; categorised as technical knowledge and generic skills, gives an indication on the achievement of the subject’s expected CLO. This paper describes a computational model which can be used to measure a sub!
ject CLO in an undergraduate electrical engineering program. An overview of the measurement model and its key concepts are presented. ESPEGS Model is the acronym for Engineering Student Performance Evaluation on Generic Skills. This model of measurement is developed based on students’ marks entries and together with Rasch Measurement Model, it can be used to improve the students’ assessment method on the CLO of each subject. Results obtained were assessed against the CLO maps for consistency and used as a guide for future improvement of the teaching method. The study shows that this model of measurement, which adopts Rasch Model based on Logistic Regression Model, can classify students learning ability more accurately with only very few randomly selected students and dimensions as compared to the traditional CGPA method.

Abstract: An algorithm is developed and detailed in this paper which determines atmospheric aerosol parameters such as backscatter and extinction coefficients, aerosol optical thickness, and the aerosol size distribution. The algorithm uses the power profile data obtained from Lidar at the City University of New York (CUNY). The aerosol optical thickness at 20 km range has been validated using a Sun-photometer. The assembly of a typical Lidar system capable of providing the power profile at three standard wavelengths of 355, 532, and 1064 nm is elaborated upon, by actually detailing the Lidar system under construction at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez, as one of several Lidars to be established in the Caribbean.

Abstract: A target tracking algorithm able to identify the position and to pursuit moving targets in video digital sequences is proposed in this paper. The proposed approach aims to track moving targets inside the vision field of a digital camera. The position and trajectory of the target are identified by using a neural network presenting competitive learning technique. The winning neuron is trained to approximate to the target and, then, pursuit it. A digital camera provides a sequence of images and the algorithm process those frames in real time tracking the moving target. The algorithm is performed both with black and white and multi-colored images to simulate real world situations. Results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, since the neurons tracked the moving targets even if there is no pre-processing image analysis. Single and multiple moving targets are followed in real time.

Abstract: Aerosol size distribution (ASD) is an integral parameter in regional atmospheric models [1]. The LIDAR laboratory at UPRM will provide Puerto Rico a means of measuring ASD, and therefore improve these models. This project intends to develop a method of obtaining ASD with the use of a Sun-photometer data, local CIMEL data obtained from AERONET (Aerosol Robotic Network) [2], and an artificial neural network (ANN). The Sun-photometer used is an instrument that measures Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) at five wavelengths of 380, 440, 500, 675, and 870 nms . A feed-forward, back-propagation artificial neural network was used to map the underlying pattern between AOD and ASD in southwestern Puerto Rico. After training, the network will produce ASD outputs based on new AOD inputs measured locally at UPRM with the Sun-photometer. It was determined that accurate predictions of ASD (MSE of 10-4) could be made depending on the size of the AOD data pool selected.

Abstract: Abstract: - The globalization of competition has entailed that organizations of developed countries have to face new kind of competitors with low labour cost, and often-advantageous exchange rates (resulting in favourable export selling prices). In such a scenario, innovation and organizational flexibility are becoming fundamental levers to enable enterprises to increase their competitiveness. For this reason, the need arises of a formalized methodology that enables organizational flexibility and capacity of performing innovation. This work originates from the analysis of a case study which highlighted that enterprise networks can enable organizational flexibility, and defined the formalization of the VDO concept – Virtual Development Office – a network organizational model based on an independent subject which has the role of enabling innovation in a collaborative environment to reach world class manufacturing capabilities. A multi-agents system based architecture!
is proposed to model and support tactical dialogues inside the network. The VDO has been modelled as a supervisor and coordinator agent able to perform a selection process in order to create the best coalition for managing emerging business opportunities. The context analyzed in this research work assumes a virtual market place where enterprises, represented by agents, can „„meet each other‟‟ and cooperate in order to achieve a common business goal given by a collaboration opportunity.

Abstract: A comparative study concerning the robustness of a novel, Fixed Point Transformations/Singular Value Decomposition (FPT/SVD)-based adaptive controller and the Slotine-Li (S&L) approach is given by numerical simulations using a three degree of freedom paradigm of typical Classical Mechanical systems, the cart + double pendulum. The effects of the imprecision of the available dynamical model, presence of dynamic friction at the axles of the drives, and the existence of external disturbance forces unknown and not modeled by the controller are considered. While the Slotine-Li approach tries to identify the parameters of the formally precise, available analytical model of the controlled system with the implicit assumption that the generalized forces are precisely known, the novel one makes do with a very rough, affine form and a formally more precise approximate model of that system, and uses temporal observations of its desired vs. realized responses. Furthermore, it d!
oes not assume the lack of unknown perturbations caused either by internal friction and/or external disturbances. Its another advantage is that it needs the execution of the SVD as a relatively time-consuming operation on a grid of a rough system-model only one time, before the commencement of the control cycle within which it works only with simple computations. The simulation examples exemplify the superiority of the FPT/SVD-based control that otherwise has the deficiency that it can get out of the region of its convergence. Therefore its design and use needs preliminary simulation investigations. However, the simulations also exemplify that its convergence can be guaranteed for various practical purposes.

Abstract: In this study, firstly a sinusoidal pulse-width modulation (SPWM) inverter feeding five different chorded three-phase induction motors were tested for low-order odd harmonic voltage component and efficiency at different loads. Secondly the motors fed by sine voltage again were tested for low – order odd harmonic voltage and current component and efficiency at different loads. In both two situations; total harmonic distortion (THD) due to 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th and 13th harmonics were less in a motor with (1-7) 120o coil pitch at over load. Particular harmonic order for each coil pitch was suppressed and the increasing quantity of efficiency in a motor with (1-6)1000 coil pitch was increased by 4, 92 % fed by PWM and 8, 86 % fed by sine voltage. The full pitch motor with (1-10) 180o coil pitch has more harmonics than other motors.

Abstract: In this study, firstly a sinusoidal pulse-width modulation (SPWM) inverter feeding five different chorded three-phase induction motors were tested for low-order odd harmonic voltage component and efficiency at different loads. Secondly the motors fed by sine voltage again were tested for low – order odd harmonic voltage and current component and efficiency at different loads. In both two situations; total harmonic distortion (THD) due to 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th and 13th harmonics were less in a motor with (1-7) 120o coil pitch at over load. Particular harmonic order for each coil pitch was suppressed and the increasing quantity of efficiency in a motor with (1-6)1000 coil pitch was increased by 4, 92 % fed by PWM and 8, 86 % fed by sine voltage. The full pitch motor with (1-10) 180o coil pitch has more harmonics than other motors.

Abstract: In the areas of engineering education due to various shortcomings of the traditional laboratories, virtual laboratories have appeared as a potential alternative to traditional laboratories. Every system – mechanical, electrical, biological– can be accurately described by a mathematical model. The models can be applied in practice because the computers allow us to solve it in a numerically way. In this paper, we focus on the theory of the modeling, applied on the areas of electrical machines. Three key problems are discussed in this application: the purpose, the content and the impact of such a laboratory in studying and learning the scientific and engineering principles of electrical machines areas.
Keywords: virtual laboratory, mathematical model, synchronous machine, Park – Blondel's equations, d, q reference system, per unit normalization, GUIDE of Matlab.

Abstract: Safe drinking water is always an important issue through out the world; especially in developing countries like Pakistan. Like other parameters, Electrical Conductivity (EC) is a significant parameter of drinking water. The determination of electrical conductivity provides a prompt and expedient way to measure the accessibility of electrolytes in the water. There are swayed health effects on human life through these electrolytes, like disorder of salt and water balance in infants, heart patients, individuals with high blood pressure, and renal diseases. Salty taste is one of the aesthetic effects of EC if it exceeds 150 mS/m and if greater than 300 mS/m it does not slake the thirst. The drinking water supplied to Hyderabad city is taken from River Indus and the EC of this river remains questionable. The values of EC in drinking water of Hyderabad at selected locations were recorded. From 49 samples, the average values ranged from 658 to762. In order to determine th!
e optimal value of EC with in the distribution system, where it deteriorates, it is necessary to predict it at different locations. The use of conventional methods to predict parametric values in the distribution systems is suffered from certain precincts. To get better drinking water quality by tumbling operational costs, Advance process control and automation technologies are the tools to be used normally. The application of Artificial Neural Networks in Water Supply Engineering is enticing and more accepted because of its high predictive accuracy. In this paper Radial Basis Neural Network has been demonstrated. The data sets are prepared for training the model. It was observed that the model has high predictive potentiality to predict the values of Electrical conductivity at 07 locations of distribution system of water supply in Hyderabad city. The removal of noisy and uninformative input variables from the data improves the efficiency of the network.

Abstract: A municipal solid waste management (MSW) expert group is consulted in order to mirror how government officials might reach an effective solution regarding municipal solid waste management in Metro Manila. A critical issue regarding this is how the expert group can better evaluate and select a favorable MSW solution using a series of criteria. MSW solution selection is a multiple criteria decision-making problem, which requires the consideration of a large number of complex criteria. The aim of this research is applying cost-benefit analysis (CBA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) to approach the benefits and cost / input and output technical efficiency of alternatives projects, which affords financial data information for the evaluators to make decision in economics viewpoint of MSW project. The result suggests that the thermal process technology is less efficient than resource recovery facility by DEA. Nevertheless, the resource recovery facility net benefit is !
larger than thermal process technology by CBA.

Abstract: This paper discusses a comprehensive study of employers' perception and expectation of Malaysian engineering graduates towards assessing measurable qualities. To have better overview in this issue, a survey on the needs, perception and expectation of Malaysian industries towards graduate engineers is conducted. In order to create a smoother transition from education to practice, some argue that engineering education should put more emphasis on the engineering-based knowledge. Thus, this study investigates also the gap analysis which is defined as the difference between expectation and perception among majority of Malaysian industries towards existing engineering graduates. Literally, it is to investigate the discrepancies between employers' perception and expectation towards future engineering work force of all the sectors or industries in Malaysia for non-technical and technical proficiencies. For the purpose of this paper, both technical and non technical attribu!
tes are analyzed and discussed. A total of 422 companies from various industries in Malaysia were chosen for the face-to-face interview sessions using a set of questionnaires. The respondents were mainly from high ranking personnel in their firm. The outcomes of this study will later be considered as a revision guideline for the engineering education curricula of Malaysian Institutions of Higher Learning.

Abstract: The tower-type buildings have been present in human life since the beginning of conscious construction activity. As early as in the first settlement units the towers were used as perfect observation points. In the Middle Ages the towers became characteristic of Polish towns. They almost symbolise the town where they were constructed. In Poland over the centuries the towers have become more and more popularly used as architectural and urban planning dominants. The preserved towers have an interesting structure and unique architectural details. These features and also the fact that the towers constitute history of architecture, our cultural heritage and properties bequeathed to us by our ancestors make us protect the towers from damage, thus preserving the richness of Polish, and consequently, European, cultural landscape.

Email addresses of all the authors:
Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: With the development of supply chain collaboration in agile manufacturing (AM), outsourcing has become a focus, in which partner selection is an important problem. Outsourcing decision is often related with expertise. The decision of partner selection needs to take opinions of multi-experts from various departments of enterprise into consideration. Expert system (ES) is one of the main branches that focus on expertise, and case-based reasoning (CBR) is a methodology for problem solving in complex environments. In this research, a new approach of similarity-based experts weighting in CBR-based multi-experts system (MES) was proposed to integrate expertise in outsourcing of AM. Foundational issues of expert weighting in CBR-based MES, including the R6 model, assumption of delaminating structure of case and similarity-based experts weighting, were firstly discussed. Based on the R6 model and assumptions, experts weighting mechanism in CBR-based MES was then built up, !
including weighting founded on consensus-based similarity and that founded on case-based similarity. Finally, the application of multi-experts weighting approach in supplier selection carried out.

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: While working out an architectural research on a quarter of buildings called the "Courtyard of Miracles" in Athens, the Directorate of Restoration of Modern and Contemporary Monuments revealed and studied certain 19th century methods of environmental cooling, heating and insulating the houses. Therefore, the Restoration Service faces a double challenge: it has to preserve the traditional ways of environmental architecture and propose contemporary methods of maintaining the thermal balance, taking into account the re-use of the whole quarter as a museum. New suggestions should not offend the traditional ones, but on the contrary they should bring them out.

Abstract: The notion of sustainability in the urban water sector refers to a multi-dimensional spectrum of balancing social, environmental and economic interests. The supply-oriented traditional infrastructure notions in the domestic water supply developed around the perception of water as a "public good" and the market-based logic that succeeded them failed equally to respond holistically to the growing challenges. Aim of this paper is to contribute to the ongoing discussion on the redefinition of the basic questions that formulate the context of strategies and policies in the water sector. Furthermore, it suggests the necessity to focus on the identification of parameters neglected by current research. A key question is formulated in the paper: how water saving as a phenomenon and as a strategy is constructed in metropolitan areas and what do these interpretations reveal about competing notions of sustainable water management. This is approached through the hypothesis that!
the water saving dilemmas and "dualities", shape but are also constructed by, the contesting interests and perceptions of actors which are based on responses on questions insufficient to address alone the multi-level notion of sustainability. This argument is supported by evidence of the instructive Berlin's case. Athens' case, is also employed in this paper, providing further empirical evidence from a second European metropolitan area.
