This paper proposes a numerical model describing the transient behaviour of dielectric liquid of one-carrier pulsed injection. The main objective is the establishment of the mathematical model and presentation of the methods of its resolution to study the transient evolution of the potential, the charge density, the current density and the charges speed under DC high voltage. The model is based on Poisson's equation, transport and continuity equation. The resolution of this system is done with numerical methods namely finite differences and Euler methods. The results bring a good description of the transient charges transport for one-carrier pulsed injection under a DC high voltage.

Authorization infrastructures are an integral part of any network where resources need to be protected. As organisations start to federate access to their resources, authorization infrastructures become increasingly difficult to manage, to a point where relying only on human resources becomes unfeasible. In our work, we propose a Self-Adaptive Authorization Framework (SAAF) that is capable of monitoring the usage of resources, and controlling access to resources through the manipulation of authorization assets (e.g., authorization policies, access rights and sessions), due to the identification of abnormal usage. As part of this work, we explore the use of models for facilitating the autonomic management of federated authorization infrastructures by 1) classifying access behaviour exhibited by users, 2) modelling authorization assets, including usage, for identifying abnormal behaviour, and 3) managing authorization through the adaptation and reflection of modelled authorization assets. SAAF will be evaluated by integrating it into an existing authorization infrastructure that would allow the simulation of abnormal usage scenarios.

In 2011, a Dutch multidisciplinary project was launched entitled "Individual-oriented information technology for energy efficient living" (INTEWON). It is a four-year study aimed at gaining more insight into the factors that determine the actual energy consumption of a household. It is a co-operation between the Maastricht University (physiology and knowledge engineering), Groningen University (human energy saving behaviour), Cauberg-Huygen engineering agency (energy calculations), and the University of Technology Eindhoven (energy technology and build environment). The purpose of the study is to obtain insight into the interaction between the individual comfort, the resulting behaviour and the techniques that enable energy efficient behaviour. It is a study in which technical, physiological and social research work together. The experiments are currently being conducted and here we report pilot data on the interaction between thermal physiology and thermal behaviour. In part I, experiments are described that are carried out in a specially designed indoor climate facilities at Maastricht University. In the laboratory the environmental conditions can be accurately prescribed whilst continuously monitoring behaviour and physiological parameters such as energy expenditure and skin temperature. In part II a novel numerical model for prediction of thermal behaviour using a Bayesian approach is described.

A numerical model based on cellular automaton is proposed to simulate the humanbehaviour termed 'flow with the stream' in emergency evacuation from a large smoke-filled compartment. In the model, smoke effect in the context of visibility is considered since visibility range can affect crowd behaviour significantly. To simulate the reality that the smoke concentration in a fire compartment is not constant, the proposed model is developed to deal with the scenario in which the visibility range varies in the course of time. An empirical formula is incorporated into the proposed model to estimate the visibility range. The results of numerical tests show that the proposed model can also be used to investigate the effect of the number of guiders through case study.

Abstract To design a companion technology we focus on the appraisal theory model to predict emotions and determine the appropriate system behaviour to support human-Computer-Interaction. Until now, the implementation of emotion processing was hindered by the fact that the theories needed originate from diverging research areas, hence divergent research techniques and result representations are present. Since this difficulty arises repeatedly in interdisciplinary research, we investigated the use of mathematicalmodelling as an unifying language to translate the coherence of appraisal theory. We found that the mathematical category theory supports the modelling of human emotions according to the appraisal theory model and hence assists the implementation.

In this paper we investigate how combining two types of modelling languages will increase their expressive power. The Behavior Tree method and non-monotonic logic will be integrated. As a general purpose high level graphical modelling language, the Behavior Tree (BT) method has the advantage of being easy to learn and has been successfully used to model industrial large-scale software intensive systems. Its strength is modelling high level business requirements. The BT method is not good at modelling complex logic. Non-monotonic reasoning represents logic in a human intuitive way. We propose that the logical representation in BTs be replaced with non-monotonic reasoning. We implement the integration using BECIE (Behavior engineering Component Integration Environment) and Clausal Defeasible Logic. We finish two executable case studies to validate the approach and the implementation. The case studies show how the expressive power of non-monotonic logic assists the formal representation of functional requirements in the BT method. The result is an effective mechanism for formally specifying and simulating logical requirements in BTs. Our approach allows users of BTs to declare what they want in human readable rules instead of composing complex behaviour to represent how their rules are achieved. This raises the level of abstraction regarding logic representation in BTs. It hides low-level logics from high level components, enabling stakeholders of the system to easily conceptualise the main flow. Additionally, it separates rules from procedural flows. The separation of the two concerns increases the flexibility of both procedural flows and rules, as well as the reusability of rules.

Predicting the responses of the combined human body-seat structure to vibration excitation is still a challenging task. This is mainly due to the complex dynamics behaviour of the seated human body in response to the vibration. Nevertheless, several applications, such as optimizing the vehicle seat structure or reducing the transmission of the vibration to the seat occupant, do not necessarily require complex modelling of the human body. It is however essential to characterize and predict the critical frequencies and the corresponding vibration patterns of the combined seat with human occupant. This study aims to predict the resonant frequencies and corresponding vibration mode shapes of the vehicle seat with occupant from the unoccupied seat. An experiment is designed to measure the frequency responses, resonant frequencies, and corresponding mode shapes of a selected vehicle seat when mounted on the test rig. Seventeen young male volunteers have participated in the experiments. The results indicate that that the vehicle unoccupied seat have three similar main seatback lateral, seatback fore-aft, and seat twisting resonant frequencies below 80 Hz. Adding the human occupant to the seat gave the same three seatback lateral, seatback fore-aft, and seat twisting mode shapes but with different resonant frequencies from their corresponding unoccupied seat. The changes of the resonant frequencies from unoccupied seat to the occupied seat for the all seventeen volunteers were consistent in accordance to their weights. Seated human occupant is not adding any new resonant frequency or mode shapes to the seat. Similar changes of the resonant frequencies between the six volunteers for the three different seats allow us to predict the key attributes of the seat with occupant (occupied seat) modes from their corresponding unoccupied seat. Results from this study are expected to reduce the need for complex modeling of the human body in upfront analysis in design of vehicle seats.
