Image inpainting is a prolific line of research due to its applications in restoration of missing or damaged areas of the image. In this paper, a novel iterative algorithm for image inpainting based on aggregation functions and penalty-based functions is presented. The algorithm combines diffusion-based and patch-based techniques. In each iteration of the algorithm, the level of consensus among the known pixels in a neighbourhood of each pixel is computed. If a minimum value of consensus is reached, the pixel is recovered by means of an aggregation of the known pixels of the neighbourhood through aggregation functions and penalty-based functions. Otherwise, a non-local search of similar patches is performed and then a similar aggregation but now of the centre pixels of those patches more similar to the region we must recover is carried out. Experiments on synthetic and natural images show the potential of this algorithm both from the qualitative and the quantitative points of view in comparison to other classical inpainting algorithms.

IoT provides a machine to machine link capability thus ensuring continuous acquisition of data from sensor, machines, objects connected at any point on the Internet. Normally, used for acquisition of data on the cloud, IoT is gradually moving on to the next phase of evolution wherein control of actuators for automating applications is a point of focus. control action requires a robust yet flexible mechanism, to ensure that no breakdown in the control action occurs at any point of time despite failure of communication link between the cloud and the objects. This paper provides information about the solution for ensuring continuity of control action despite link failure by implementing a dual level of control mechanism. The simulation results and a limited hardware implementation have been implemented to demonstrate the proof of concept.

The importance for an athlete to control emotion has been widely accepted. However its measurement is still a difficult task. World Archery, an international federation, along with Tabrasco Ltd, wanted to measure the heart rate of their athletes, to help TV viewers understand the inner state of an athlete during main competitions. We present here this adventure, which resulted in having heartbeat measurements during world cup competitions, using a non-invasive technique, embraced by the athletes.

Experienced operators, who have worked in process industry for many years possess extensive tacit knowledge regarding how to operate and control the plant. The purpose of this study was to propose methods for knowledge transfer regarding process control. Four conditions are important for successful knowledge transfer: resources from the management, access to a control room environment, access to saved process data from incidents and disturbances, and motivated experienced operators with verbal skills. Methods recommended for catching tacit knowledge regarding process control are observations in the control room, operators using the think-aloud methodology during work, and expert operators creating and analyzing scenarios of disturbances. Methods for transfer tacit knowledge are scenario analysis of disturbances in focus groups, or role-play between experienced and novice operator. Also informal and spontaneous methods for knowledge transfer can be successful.

Distributing software effectively to multi core, many core, and distributed systems has been studied for decades but still advances successively driven by domain specific constraints. Programming vehicle ECUs is one of the most constrained domains that recently approached the need for concurrency due to advanced driver assistant systems or autonomous driving approaches. In this paper, software distribution challenges for such systems are discussed and solutions are presented for instruction precise modeling, affinity constrained distribution, and reducing task response times achieved by advanced software parallelization. Therefore, existing partitioning and mapping algorithms are advanced to consider affinity constraints, software component tags and communication costs. Our experiments along a remote controlled model car show that using our new advanced results instead of sequential implementations or software distributions provided by the operating system on a distributed heterogeneous system significantly improves its responsiveness in order to potentially reduce energy consumption and replaces error prone manual constraint considerations for mixed-critical applications.

This paper proposes a cloud computing trust model based-on SOA by combining the characteristics of SOA, and discusses the relation between the service and users in the cloud computing. Meanwhile, proposes a curve fitting based trust selecting and updating mechanism to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the trust relation. Finally, verifies the rationality of the trust model in terms of the curve fitting function and mathematical experiment analysis of this trust model.

Hybrid intelligentsystems are generally complex in nature. One of the hybrid intelligentsystems is neuro-fuzzy hybrid intelligent system. The neuro-fuzzy systems are transparent systems which are capable of learning as well. Takagi Sugeno N-F system, a specific type of N-F system is a better performer than other N-F systems, but it needs more computational time. Besides that N-F system retains the property of parallel processing that it inherits from neural networks. To that extent, there appears to be much in common with the field of Grid computing which itself aims to support applications that are parallel in nature and need high computational power. In this paper we examine the similarities between these fields and the potential offered by Grid computing to solve computational problems of N-F systems by proposing a method for developing N-F systems using Grid computing.
