With the increasing use of sensors and actuators in technical systems and knowledge-intensive services the need for processing the information captured by these sensors and "making sense" out of it increases. Knowledge fusion is supposed to contribute to this field since it aims at integrating knowledge from different sources. Development of knowledge fusion solutions is a complex task which can be compared to systems and software development. As in other development areas there is a need for efficient development processes which can be supported by reusing solution parts, such as patterns or components. The paper brings together experiences from knowledge fusion subsystem development and from design of knowledge fusion patterns. The main contributions of this paper are (1) a real-world application scenario presenting typical requirements to knowledge fusion systems, (2) application of knowledge fusion patterns from context-based decision support to situation recognition, (3) recommendations from this application case.

We explore whether we can observe Time's Arrow in a temporal sequence-is it possible to tell whether a video is running forwards or backwards? We investigate this some-what philosophical question using computer vision and machine learning techniques. We explore three methods by which we might detect Time's Arrow in video sequences, based on distinct ways in which motion in video sequences might be asymmetric in time. We demonstrate good video forwards/backwards classification results on a selection of YouTube video clips, and on natively-captured sequences (with no temporally-dependent video compression), and examine what motions the models have learned that help discriminate forwards from backwards time.
Planning for multiple agents under uncertainty is often based on decentralized partially observable Markov decision processes (Dec-POMDPs), but current methods must de-emphasize long-term effects of actions by a disco...

In this paper, the state estimation problem is investigated for a class of nonlinear stochastic systems with mixed time delays under event-triggered scheme. Based on the proposed event-triggered scheme, the new measurement is sampled and then transmitted to the estimator only when the difference between the current measurement and the previous transmitted measurement is greater than a fixed threshold, thereby reducing the network traffic. Attention is focused on the design problem of the estimator such that the estimation error in mean square is bounded and then minimized. A novel Lyapunov function is employed to derive sufficient condition for the existence of the desired state estimators whose gain matrix can be computed by solving a convex problem. The gain matrix of the estimator is characterized in order that an asymptotic bound of the estimation error is found and subsequently minimized. A numerical simulation is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the results.

This paper studies semi-global leader-following output consensus of a multi-agent system. Each follower agent in the system, described by a general linear system subject to external disturbances and actuator saturation, is to track the leader agent. Conditions on the agent dynamics are identified under which a low gain feedback based linear state control algorithm is constructed for each follower agent such that the leader-following output consensus is achieved when the communication topology among the agents is a directed graph that contains no loop and the leader is globally reachable. In addition, discussions and simulations are also provided for the output consensus in the presence of actuator saturation.

For most practical nonlinear state estimation problems, the conventional nonlinear filters do not usually work well for some cases, such as inaccurate system model, sudden change of state-interested and unknown variance of measurement noise. In this paper, an adaptive cubature strong tracking information filter using variational Bayesian (VB) method is proposed to cope with these complex cases. Firstly, the strong tracking filtering (STF) technology is used to integrally improve performance of cubature information filter (CIF) aiming at the first two cases and an iterative scheme is presented to effectively evaluate a strong tracking fading factor. Secondly, the VB method is introduced to iteratively evaluate the unknown variance of measurement noise. Finally, the novel adaptive cubature information filter is obtained by perfectly combining the STF technology with the VB method, where the variance estimation provided by the VB method guarantees normal running of the strong tracking functionality.

OFDM is promising for underwater acoustic (UWA) communications due to its potential to combat the large delay spread. However, the performance of the OFDM system is seriously deteriorated by the inter-carrier interference (ICI) caused by the transmitter/receiver motion and ocean waves. In this paper, we propose a novel ICI countermeasure. The key idea is to inactivate partial subcarriers according to index modulation and meanwhile transmit signals with opposite polarity on two adjacent active subcarriers for ICI self cancellation. Simulation results validate that the proposed scheme achieves much better bit error rate (BER) performance than many existing schemes in UWA communications.

In this paper, we consider the asymptotic stabilization of a class of one dimensional boundary controlled port Hamiltonian systems by an immersion/reduction approach and the use of Casimir invariants. We first extend existing results on asymptotic stability of linear infinite dimensional systems controlled at their boundary to the case of stable Port Hamiltonian controllers including some physical constraints as clamping. Then the relation between structural invariants, namely Casimir functions, and the controller structure is computed. The Casimirs are employed in the selection of the controllers Hamiltonian to shape the total energy function of the closed loop system and introduce a minimum in the desired equilibrium configuration. The approach is illustrated on the model of a micro manipulation process with partial-actuation on one side of the spatial domain.
