A hybrid system approach is adopted to study the dynamic behaviour of a controlled reverse flow reactor in which a feedback control law dictates the occurrence of flow inversions. Typical behaviour of hybrid systems (Zeno phenomena) are found coexisting with other regimes like limit cycles and quasi-periodic regimes. Construction of impact maps, continuation of limit cycles and detection of local bifurcations are employed to understand the influence of Zeno phenomena on bifurcation scenario and on routes to strange attractors.

in this paper a new design for controlling dynamical systems has been applied to buck converters driven with a PWM centered pulse and (Zero Average Dynamics) ZAD-strategy. Chaotic operation has been stabilized with the so-called Fixed Point induced Control (FPiC) technique. Also, the same converter with delay whose 1-periodic orbit is always unstable, has been stabilized. Simulations are compared with the TDAS stabilization technique. Once a 1-periodic orbit has been stabilized, the dynamics shows the same characteristics and advantages of the ZAD design, such as robustness, fixed switching frequency (with zero average on the sliding surface) and a low output error.

Many linguistic research projects collect large amounts of multimodal data in digital formats. Despite the plethora of data collection applications available, it is often difficult for researchers to identify and integrate applications which enable the management of collections of multimodal data in addition to facilitating the actual collection process itself. in research projects that involve substantial data analysis, data management becomes a critical issue. Whilst best practice recommendations in regard to data formats themselves are propagated through projects such as EMELD, HRELP and DOBES, there is little corresponding information available regarding best practice for field metadata management beyond the provision of standards by entities such as OLAC and iMDi. These general problems are further exacerbated in the context of multiple researchers in geographically-disparate or connectivity-challenged locations. We describe the design of a solution for a group of researchers collecting data on child language acquisition in Australian indigenous communities. We describe the context, identify pertinent issues, outline the mechanics of a solution, and finally report the implementation. in doing so, we provide an alternative model and an open source software application suite which aims to be sufficiently general that other research groups may consider adopting some or all of the infrastructure.

Assertions had their origin in program verification. For the systems developed in industry, construction of assertions and their use in showing program correctness is a near-impossible task. However, they can be used to show that some key properties are satisfied during program execution. We first present a survey of the special roles that assertions can play in object oriented software construction. We then analyse such assertions by relating them to the case study of an automatic surveillance system. in particular, we address the following two issues: What types of assertions can be used most effectively in the context of object oriented software? How can you discover them and where should they be placed? During maintenance, both the design and the software are continuously changed. These changes can mean that the original assertions, if present, are no longer valid for the new software. Can we automatically derive assertions for the changed software?.

information systems now form the backbone of nearly every government and private system - from targeting weapons to conducting financial transactions. increasingly these systems are networked together allowing for distributed operations, sharing of databases, and redundant capability. Ensuring these networks are secure, robust, and reliable is critical for the strategic and economic well being of the Nation. The blackout of August 14, 2003 affected 8 states and fifty million people and could cost up to $5 billion. The DOE/NERC interim reports indicate the outage progressed as a chain of relatively minor events consistent with previous cascading outages caused by a domino reaction. The increasing use of embedded distributed systems to manage and control our technologically complex society makes knowing the vulnerability of such systems essential to improving their intrinsic reliability/survivability. Our discussion employs the power transmission grid.

The paper is devoted to the problem of modeling demand for inventory management of slow-moving items in the case of reporting errors. it is proposed a generalization of the beta-binomial demand model that takes into account possible reporting errors in the learning sample. For the new model, there are developed identification and forecasting algorithms that provide consistent estimators of the model parameters and mean square optimal forecasts. The efficiency of the proposed approach is illustrated by an application example for slow-moving car parts.

We present the miraQA system that constitutes MiRACLE first experience in Question Answering for monolingual Spanish and has been developed for QA@CLEF 2004. The architecture of the system is described and details of our approach to Statistical Answer Extraction based on Hidden Markov Models are presented. One run that uses last year question set for training purposes has been submitted. The results are presented together with ideas for improvement.
