This paper deals with resource allocation in multi-project manufacturing system design, where more than one shared renewable resource type may be required by the manufacturing operation and the availability of each type is time limited. The aim of the paper is to present a knowledge-based and constraint programming-driven approach to resource allocation where that data can be imprecise. The presented design scheme is used as a framework for developing a task oriented decision support tool for project portfolio prototyping (DST4P 3 ). The tool provides a prompt and interactive service to a set of routine queries defined in terms of both direct and inverse resource allocation tasks.

Wireless networks have become ubiquitous, making combined wired/wireless network a popular trend of development in nowadays. Therefore, the Consensus problem in combined wired/wireless network is an important topic. Over the past few years, a considerable number of studies have been made on pure wired networks. However, no studies have ever tried to solve the Consensus problem in combined wired/wireless networks. in order to meet the characteristics of combine wired/wireless networks (the limited resources have made the computation ability of mobile processors often weaker than that of stationary processors) and reduce the number of rounds of message exchange required, most of the communications and computation overhead must be fulfilled within by the consensus-servers. Therefore, we introduce a hierarchical concept in our system model. Only consensus-servers need to exchange messages and compute the common value. in this paper, we will investigate the Consensus problem in combined wired/wireless network to enhance fault-tolerance and reliability. Besides, we also prove our protocol is able to tolerate a maximum number of allowable faulty components with minimum rounds of message exchange required.

Ontologies are an effective means to formally specify and constrain knowledge. They have proved their utility in various data mining applications, especially in annotating text to render it machine interpretable. More challenging research perspectives arise when ontologies are used to annotate images where the information is encoded in numeric pixel values rather than in natural language. Current approaches to bridge the gap between the pixel-based foundational representation and high level image semantics include the utilization of taxonomies describing 2D spatial relations between the depicted objects and hence linking image features with semantics. To this end we present a novel ontological approach that formalizes concepts and relations regarding image representations for medical image mining. It provides descriptors for pixels, image regions, image features, and clusters. It extends previous approaches by including assertions of spatial relations between clusters in multidimensional feature spaces. The relational assertions enable the linkage between a given image, image region and feature(s) to the object they represent. The proposed approach is more general than most current approaches and can be easily extended to support multimodal data mining.

Many diagnosis approaches are based in the assumption of single faults. This assumption may result to erroneous diagnosis statement in case where multiple faults occurs. Thereby multiple fault diagnosis is a challenging task especially in the control of large scale complex systems that can be viewed as hybrid systems. This owed to the fact that multiple faults are hard to detect because there consequences can mask or compensate to each other. The goal is to detect multiple faults as early as possible and provide a timely warning. A key issue is to prevent local faults to be developed into system failures that may cause safety hazards, stop temporarily the production and possible detrimental environment impact. This can be achieved by fault tolerant witch means that despites the faults occurrences the system is able to recover its original task with the same or degraded performance. Fault tolerance can be considered that it is constituted by two basic tasks, fault diagnosis and control redesign. In our work we addressed mainly to the first task introducing a method for multiple fault diagnosis in hybrid systems, while we propose a framework for fault tolerant hybrid control systems, which allows retaining acceptable performance under systems faults. The method is tested via a simple application to an electric power transmission system presented in our previous work.

Recently, there are many studies on brain computer interface (BCI) system and some use EEG response at oddball paradigms. The aim of this paper is to extract feature (i.e. P300 response) from the EEG signals to improve the spelling system. We propose the method to analyze the averaged EEG signal concerned time and spatial. It is confirmed that the processing period with feature extraction is able to be shortened by averaging multi-channels. Effective information is obtained from the EEG signal near of the center part.

Electroencephalograph (EEG) recordings during right and left hand motor imagery can be used to move a cursor to a target on a computer screen. Such an EEG-based brain-computer interface (BCI) can provide a new communication channel to replace an impaired motor function. Recently, we have proposed the detection method of Error Potential in order to add the fail safe function to BCI system. In this paper, feature extraction method based on morphological multi-resolution analysis is introduced to extract features concerned with motor imagery and cognition simultaneously from EEG signals. Morphological filter is composed of nonlinear operation between signal and structural function. We propose some design methods of structural function that decide the filter characteristic of morphology. These algorithms are compared to DWT from the view point of filter characteristics. Consequently, effectiveness of our method is confirmed.

In this paper we introduce Median Fuzzy C-Means (MFCM). This algorithm extends the Median C-Means (MCM) algorithm by allowing fuzzy values for the cluster assignments. To evaluate the performance of M-FCM, we compare the results with the clustering obtained by employing MCM and Median Neural Gas (MNG).

We propose a new method of approximating mutual information based on maximum likelihood estimation of a density ratio function. The proposed method, Maximum Likelihood Mutual Information (MLMI), possesses useful properties, e.g., it does not involve density estimation, the global optimal solution can be efficiently computed, it has suitable convergence properties, and model selection criteria are available. Numerical experiments show that MLMI compares favorably with existing methods.

Web service technologies are becoming increasingly important for integrating service-oriented applications. The Web services reverse engineering process becomes necessary in order to facilitate the reuse and composition of Web services. This paper describes a model driven Web service reverse engineering process, where Web service descriptions (WSDL) are transformed to UML models, then the generated UML models are integrated into composite Web services, finally the new Web service descriptions (OWL) are generated.
