Aboard current ships, such as the DDG 51, engineeringcontrol and damage control activities are manpower intensive. It is anticipated that, for future combatants, the workload demand arising from operation of systems under conditions of normal steaming and during casualty response will need to be markedly reduced via automated monitoring, autonomous control, and other technology initiatives. Current DDG 51 class ships can be considered as a manpower baseline and under Condition III typical engineeringcontrol involves seven to eight watchstanders at manned stations in the Central control Station, the engine rooms and other machinery spaces. In contrast to this manning level, initiatives such as DD 21 and the integrated engineering plant (IEP) envision a partnership between the operator and the automation system, with more and more of the operator's functions being shifted to the automation system as manning levels decrease. This paper describes some human systems integration studies of workload demand reduction and, consequently, manning reduction that can be achieved due to application of several advanced technology concepts. Advanced system concept studies in relation to workload demand are described and reviewed including. Piecemeal applications of diverse automation and remote controltechnology concepts to selected high driver tasks in current DDG 51 activities. Development of the reduced ship's crew by virtual presence system that will provide automated monitoring and display to operators of machinery health, compartment conditions, and personnel health. The IEP envisions the machinery control system as a provider of resources that are used by various consumers around the ship. Resource needs and consumer priorities are at all times dependent upon the ship's current mission and the availability of equipment pawnbrokers.

The paper presents a method for the determination of the capacitance matrix needed in modelling and simulation of signal transmission in multiple coupled interconnecting lines. The method utilises capacitance measurements and thus one of its useful application areas is in the validation of numerous previously published algorithms based on various approximations to field equations, originally developed for the computation of capacitance matrices. The technique described is based on the active separation of the capacitance network, achieved through the use of a unity-gain amplifier. Thanks to the circuit configurations introduced with a unity-gain amplifier it is possible to make direct capacitance measurements in the multiconductor interconnecting structures. Measurement procedures are described and analysis of errors in measured quantities caused by the imperfections of measuring equipment is discussed. A sample of results obtained in measuring manufactured test structures is included for illustration of the method and measuring procedures.

This article reviews the current transmission control protocol (TCP) congestion control protocols and overviews recent advances that have brought analytical tools to this problem. We describe an optimization-based framework that provides an interpretation of various flow control mechanisms, in particular, the utility being optimized by the protocol's equilibrium structure. We also look at the dynamics of TCP and employ linear models to exhibit stability limitations in the predominant TCP versions, despite certain built-in compensations for delay. Finally, we present a new protocol that overcomes these limitations and provides stability in a way that is scalable to arbitrary networks, link capacities, and delays.
In this paper, the design of explicit rate-based congestion control in high speed communication networks is considered. At a bottleneck node, there are multiple best-effort sources competing with other high priority c...

A new filtering approach designed to eliminate impulsive noise in color images, while preserving fine image details is presented in this paper. The comparison shows that the new filter outperforms the VMF, as well as other standard procedures used in color image processing for the elimination of impulsive noise.
