We propose a service partition model as a design methodology of distributed applications, especially in interactive distributed applications. We developed a set of communication mechanisms for linking each module of interactive distributed applications. Mapping an interactive distributed application into service partition model is much easier than mapping it into a client server model. Implementing distributed applications with the mechanisms we supported for the service partition programming model is relatively easy.< >

"Robustness" is one of the most important issues for model-based fault detection and isolation (FDI) in dynamic systems. This paper proposes a double threshold statistical testing method for general residuals that are created by a model-based residual generator. After all available knowledge and information has been applied to the residuals, they are still nonzero while there is no fault. The double threshold statistical testing represents the nonzeros, model-errors or residues, by a standard Bernoulli and binomial random model so that, by appropriate design, the false-alarm probability can be controlled and the detection power can be maximized. Consequently, the FDI scheme becomes more "robust" while maintaining a higher level of fault detection sensitivity. The theoretical properties of this robust method are presented and the testing criterion is examined.

PowerEpsilon is a proof development system based on Martin-Lof's type theory and the calculus of constructions. It contains a logic, a specification language and a programming language, so it is a powerful tool with different uses, However, the constructive type theory is an integrated logic in which the logical and computational parts are associated so well that to extract a program from a proof is not a straightforward task. In this paper, a new approach for extracting program from a proof called type erasing is proposed.< >

We present a qualitative model of the interaction between the HIV-1 virus and the human cell, based on qualitative process theory. This model takes into account a previous qualitative model of the cell growth. The model presented here can be regarded as a first step for setting up a comprehensive model of the HIV-1 virus-cell interaction in which the possible points where a drug can attack the virus are evident. The first simulation trials indicate that the presented model reproduces (even though in a simplified way) the features of the real behaviour that have been considered in the modelling phase. Although our simulation is limited in the knowledge it expresses, it still gives a stimulating opportunity for the evaluation of the criteria chosen as discriminant in the interaction between virus and cell.

Understanding the behavior of a structure and its components in the preliminary design phase is important since decisions made at this time can have a significant influence on the quality of the final design. It can also potentially reduce the number of alternative solutions and avoid costly design revisions. However, there are few tools available for modeling of a structure and performing qualitative analysis and interpretation of a conceptual design. We describe a framework QStruc for qualitative structural analysis which combines first principles in structural engineering and experimental knowledge of structural behavior. The purpose of QStruc is to generate refined qualitative models and to infer the qualitative response of a given preliminary structure. The results are expressed by qualitative deflected shape, moments and reactions. The proposed qualitative analysis strategy is a “greedy” depth-first algorithm that tries to expand the response of behavior as much as possible from known parameter values. This strategy makes use of a causal ordering mechanism, qualitative calculus and Quantity Lattice (R. Simmons, “Commonsense arithmetic reasoning” in Proceedings of the AAAI86 , pp. 118–124, Morgan Kaufmann, San Mateo, California, 1986) to reason about partial ordering among physical parameters.

An approach and a solution to the continuous leak monitoring problem in underground gas pipelines are presented. This approach places permanent monitoring units along the pipeline. These units detect acoustic signals in the pipeline and discriminate leak sounds from other man-made or natural nonleak sounds that can occur. The system uses the kNN classifier as the detector with LPC (linear predictive coding) cepstrums as signal features. To increase system performance, pipeline effects on acoustic signals were taken into account during the classifier training phase. Each unit can detect 1/4-in-diameter leaks from a distance of 300 m, yielding 600 m as the maximum distance between units.< >

An overview is given of nonlinear adaptive control. It is motivated by an aim to synthesise contributions from the Russian literature and some more recent work in the Western literature. A unifying view is given which emphasises the concepts of matching conditions, (speed) gradient algorithms, exact linearization, passivity and robustness in a Lyapunov stability context.

A new architecture of the sigma-dela modulators using a chopper-stabilized configuration is described. It is shown that using this new architecture and without any other circuit techniques, a sigma-delta modulator becomes immune from the contamination of the inherent low-frequency noise, such as offset noise, flicker noise, and clock feedthrough noise. The new architecture can be easily designed from the existing architectures without any stability problems. As an example, a second-order sigma-delta modulator is designed by using the new architecture. The simulation results show excellent immunity from the low-frequency noise.< >

The authors propose an analysis of the high resolution ECG signal in the frequency domain which is focused on the ending part of the QRS complex and on the ST segment of the averaged modulus of the vectorcardiogram, in order to detect the presence of ventricular late potentials (VLPs). The influence of the QRS is excluded through a Tchebytcheff polynomial interpolation. Such a "filtered" signal is then analyzed by means of a time variant autoregressive model that allows to obtain a power spectral density in correspondence of each sample and thus to track the dynamical changes in its frequency content. A joint time-frequency representation is obtained which may qualitatively discriminate between populations with or without VLPs. Finally, some parameters are proposed, such as the time duration, the associated power, the starting and ending points and the main frequency of the VLPs, through which it is possible to quantify, the abnormal signal averaged ECG.< >

We develop a self-contained theory for linear estimation in Krein spaces. The theory is based on simple concepts such as projections and matrix factorizations, and leads to an interesting connection between Krein space projection and the computation of the stationary points of certain second order (or quadratic) forms. We use the innovations process to obtain a rather general recursive linear estimation algorithm, which when specialized to a state space model yields a Krein space generalization of the celebrated Kalman filter with applications in several areas such as H/sup /spl infin//-filtering and control, game problems, risk sensitive control, and adaptive filtering.< >
