Utilities are required to provide reliable power to customers. In the design stages, utilities need to plan ahead for anticipated future load growth under different possible scenarios. Their decisions and designs can affect the gain or loss of millions of dollars for their companies as well as customer satisfaction and future economic growth in their territory. This paper proposes and describes the general methodology to use fuzzy logic to fuse the available information for spatial load forecasting. The proposed scheme can provide distribution planners other alternatives to aggregate their information for spatial load forecasting.

Load forecasting in power systems is an important subject and has been studied from different points of view in order to achieve better load forecasting results. This paper addresses one of the challenges in spatial load forecasting area, urban re-development, and presents a theory and methodology to incorporate urban re-development into spatial load forecasting considerations.

The paper presents the results of an application-based reliability study of distributed computercontrolsystems with very high reliability demand, e.g. for supervision and control of power plants and energy distribution systems. A reliability classification scheme is presented and typical redundant control system structures are evaluated and classified due to their system reliability Special focus is placed on assessing the influence of the communication system on total system reliability.

Short-range scatterometer systems are used to obtain radar backscatter signatures for understanding the interaction between electromagnetic energy and geophysical media in a number of remote sensing applications. Unlike long-range and intermediate-range radar systems, the sensitivity of short-range radars is not limited by thermal noise, but rather by reflections and leakage signals from the antenna and RF section. These leakage signals and their sidelobes are the primary sources of unwanted signals (coherent noise) in short-range FM radar systems. The authors have employed coherent noise reduction techniques to reduce the effects of these unwanted signal sources. Reduction of these coherent noise sources is critical to obtaining accurate backscatter measurements from geophysical targets. Recent advances include the use of phase correction to overcome limitations due to drift of local oscillators and effects of temperature changes on the system. The authors present results from the standard and phase-corrected coherent noise reduction techniques. These techniques increased the dynamic range of field and laboratory measurements of radar backscatter from sea ice and allows the authors to use data from past experiments that had previously been discarded due to low signal-to-noise ratio.

Computing the trajectories generated by an arbitrary system or process is extremely important for its analysis, especially for control and stability investigations. This paper analyses the fundamental matrix sequence (a discrete counterpart of the transition matrix in the continous case) for a linear unit memory repetitive process. The main result refers to the representation of the repetitive process in terms of the general singular Kurek model.

This paper describes a learning augmented recursive estimation approach for nonlinear dynamical systems having unmodeled nonlinearities. Utilizing a passive spatially-localized learning system, an approximation of the unknown nonlinearity is synthesized online, based on state and parameter estimates from a nonlinear recursive estimator (an adaptive form of the extended Kalman filter). The learned model of the nonlinearity is used, in turn, to improve the performance of the recursive estimator. We demonstrate the approach on a second-order, mass-spring-damper system, where the spring stiffness is a nonlinear function of position. Simulation results indicate that, relative to more traditional adaptive estimation schemes, markedly improved estimation performance can be achieved.

This paper describes two computing paradigms known as neural computing and evolutionary computing, and their potential contribution to building intelligent software systems. The paper begins by giving a brief introduction to the origins of each paradigm. Then two sections introduce the basic principles, and identify the role of each paradigm in intelligent system design. Each section ends with a number of applications that have been or are being investigated. These include connection admission control, modem communication, adaptive model-based control, face and handwriting recognition, frequency assignment, help-desk scheduling, financial time-series prediction, face recognition and evolving agent behavior. A section introduces the idea of using communications theory to design neural networks and the paper concludes with the authors' views on the future of neural and evolutionary computing for intelligent software systems.

This paper proposes a method of 3-dimensional measurement of a planar surface by using two fixed light sources and a TV camera. A set of two images is recorded by the camera switching on each light alternately. The peak of the luminance distribution in each image is detected, and the orientation and distance of the planar surface are calculated. The position of the peak of a luminance distribution can be estimated accurately by using an image processing. The light sources can be conventional apparatus with no particular structure. The method is simple and suitable for a vision system on an indoor mobile robot.

Visibility analysis algorithms use digital elevation models (DEMs), which represent terrain topography, to determine visibility at each point on the terrain from a given location in space. This analysis can be computationally very demanding, particularly when manipulating high resolution DEMs accurately at interactive response rates. Massively data-parallel computers offer high computing capabilities and are very well-suited to handling and processing large regular spatial data structures. In the paper, the authors present a new scanline-based data-parallel algorithm for visibility analysis. Results from an implementation onto a MasPar massively data-parallel SIMD computer are also presented.

Learning of large-scale neural networks suffers from computational cost and the local minima problem. One solution to these difficulties is the use of modular structured networks. Proposed here is the learning of modular networks using structural learning with forgetting. It enables the formation of modules. It also enables automatic utilization of appropriate modules from among the previously learned ones. This not only achieves efficient learning, but also makes the resulting network understandable due to its modular character. In the learning of a Boolean function, the present module acquires information from its subtask module without any supervision. In the parity problem, a previously learned lower-order parity problem is automatically used. The geometrical transformation of figures can be realized by a sequence of elementary transformations. This sequence can also be discovered by the learning of multi-layer modular networks. These examples well demonstrate the effectiveness of modular structured networks constructed by structural learning with forgetting.
