key phase in the design process of software for distributed systems is the allocation of the software components to the available hardware. A problem arises when a software/hardware mismatch occurs. This paper presents a solution to that problem by introducing a technique that guarantees efficient allocation of predefined scheduled object-oriented software components to the available hardware based on genetic algorithm. The allocation is to be made dynamically in a system with a predefined schedule. We thus modified the parameters of the genetic search technique to allow converging to the best solution in a relatively short time to be suitable for the dynamicity of the allocation. The performance of the allocation technique is evaluated in terms of the time cost (CPU clock pulses for more generality) required for the GA search to converge to the optimal allocation structure of the software components. The results obtained by the proposed technique are compared against the results from the branch-and-bound search technique. The experimental results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed technique in reaching the optimal allocation in considerable time, showing that it requires much less time than branch-and-bound.

In the paper the problem of disturbance attenuation performance in single-loop control system is investigated. Modified MV control strategy with bounded control variance is used as benchmark for both LQG and classically and optimally tuned PID-type controllers. Certain time and frequency domain functions are then examined to further assess the control performance in terms of robustness. It has been shown that as long as the system to be controlled is delay-free, and there is no extreme demand on performance, simple lag-delay system model along with optimally tuned PID control algorithm provides control quality similar to that of LQG controlled original system assuming the same bound on control signal variance. Although the classical performance measure based on substitute delay indicates then almost optimal performance, there is still room for additional improvement that can be attained using both PID and LQG controllers and more sophisticated original delay-free model. The price paid is much larger control variance. It is interesting to note that while LQG systems remain robust this is not longer valid for PID controllers

In this paper we consider an unstable biological process used for wastewater treatment. This anaerobic digestion ecosystem can have 2 locally stable steady states and one unstable steady state. We first study the model and characterise the attraction basin associated to the normal operating mode. In a second step we estimate the size of this attraction basin by using a simplified criterion that turns out to be a good approximation. Finally we apply the approach on a real anaerobic digestion plant, and we show that the proposed criterion allows to rapidly detect the conditions of a destabilisation.

This paper presents the incorporation of an auto-tuning real-time garbage collector into a feedback-based on-line scheduling system. The studied feedback scheduler is designed to dynamically adjust the sampling periods of a set of controller tasks in order to maximize the overall control performance. In the suggested approach, the memory management overhead is made explicit and taken into account by the feedback scheduler when scheduling the tasks. It is also described how priorities for memory allocations can be used to control the allocation rates of the application threads in order to optimize the trade-off between memory and CPU time usage. A case study, comparing theoretical analysis and simulated results support the feasibility of the approach.

This paper presents an application of fuzzy nonlinear classifier to speaker identification and verification. This classifier is closely related to a modification of a classical Takagi-Sugeno-Kang inference system and is based on a fuzzy moving consequents in If-Then rules. Since fuzzy classifiers based on structural risk minimization have not been applied in speaker recognition area so far, this work presents a novel approach to the problem of speaker modeling. Although voice biometrics is dominated by statistical approach like Gaussian mixture models GMM's and vector quantization VQ, other speaker recognition methods are demanded, especially those which do not require a lot of training utterances and have good generalization properties. All research is based on Polish speech corpus ROBOT designed for testing speech algorithms. Provided results show that fuzzy approach may have similar or even better performance than standard methods

In this paper we develop and apply a robust interval observer to estimate the unknown variables of uncertain chaotic systems. Considering that bounds of the uncertainties are known, we propose an observer that computes guaranteed upper and lower bounds for the unknown variables. We show that practical estimation (observer based synchronization) is asymptotically reached with bounded interval estimates. The method is applied to the synchronization of Chua's chaotic system

A new fully embedded tactile/force sensor system to be installed on the phalanges of a robot hand is presented in this paper. Each sensor consists of a distributed array of analog tactile elements and an integrated three-component force transducer with embedded analog and digital electronics. The tactile sensor is a matrix of electrodes etched on a flexible printed circuit board covered by pressure conductive rubber. The force sensor is an off-the-shelf integrated three components micro-joystick. Communications of the sensors with other control modules are implemented with a CAN bus link. A local processing technique is proposed to enable the transmission of both tactile and force data using a single CAN message, and eventually validate through simulative and experimental tests

Knock in spark ignition (SI) engines is an undesirable mode of combustion, causing high combustion pressure pulses associated with vibration of the engine block. This phenomenon limits performance, durability and fuel economy of SIengines. In this paper the author propose; a new knock detection method called WBKD (Wavelet Based Knock Detection), which is based on wavelet transform. Real data experiments confirmed the utility of the proposed approach for knock intensity estimating.

It is imposed the maintenance of excitation flux at nominal value Psi=2.73[Wb]
