The emergence and self-organization have been extensively studied in Multi-Agent Systems comprising simple, ant-like agents. When it comes to human multi-agent systems, the inter-agent, and agent-environment interactions ...

After reviewing some of the vast literature related to Ambient Assisted Living (AAL), we noticed that many of the recent solutions in AAL follow the design paradigm defined by the feeding machine presented in the famous ...

This article presents a method to transform a chaotic sequence of real numbers into multiple bitstreams, using multi-level discretization. Although the original intent was to achieve a higher/multiple flow of bits, much ...

In this paper, is presented an application of the Hankel–norm approximation method for model order reduction, to obtain a lower order model with the same performance. In order to show the effectiveness of the Hankel-methodologie ...

Industrial diagnosis systems aim to anticipate the occurrence of failures or, if failures have occurred, to detect them and identify their cause, based on observable symptoms captured by sensors from the process. In case ...

This paper investigates the opportunity of using a numerical procedure for computing the renewal parameters of an equipment. The reasons of this approach reside in the sampled way we measure the process variables and the ...

Transmitting large amounts of data through wireless communication channels, at high speed and low error probability, is a major challenge for the researchers in the field. In this paper, aspects of image transmission in ...

Recent years have led to the development of new data storage solutions, moving their local storage, to the storage in cloud (Internet). In this case, data loss raises greater problems, since there it is not able to seek ...

Distributed control is known to produce simple and cost effective solutions for many control applications. This is particularily interesting for controlling autonomous mobile robots, where the designer faces severe constraints ...

In this paper the implementation of the DC link current estimator in power conditioning system of the variable speed wind turbine is shown. The wind turbine is connected to double feed induction generator (DFIG). The ...
