This paper presents a conversational interface that uses the speech recognition and synthesis and animation abilities of two Microsoft software agents in order to assure a more natural and efficient interface with an autonomous robot. The interface is used in the robotics educational process. The basic commands to be given by voice (back, right, etc.) and the control of the agents are implemented in Visual Basic. More complex control programs can be implemented and tested in Matlab and after that executed with a simple voice command. This program is used as a part of an integrated educational strategy in autonomous robotics and was evaluated by a group of students. First experimental results related to the use of this conversational interface compared to traditional robot simulation environments and control of real robots are presented in this paper with related discussions.

Summary form only given. A new scheme for transmitting sensitive data is proposed, the proposed scheme depends on partitioning the output of a block encryption module using the Chinese Remainder Theorem among a set of channels. The purpose of using the Chinese Remainder Theorem is to hide the cipher text in order to increase the difficulty of attacking the cipher. The proposed scheme assumes the existence of a set of transmission channels between the sender and the receiver parties from which S channels are chosen using some selection criteria. The message is divided into as set of blocks of a size that is a multiple of the size of the underlying block cipher block size. The resulting N bit encrypted block is used as an N-bits integer. This integer remainders with respect to S selected relatively prime numbers are sent over the S selected channels. On the receiver side the inverse Chinese remainder is applied to get the encrypted blocks followed by a decryption operation to construct the original message. The theory, implementation and the security of this scheme are described in the paper.

In this paper, we focus on the issue of adaptive H ∞ -control design for a class of linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems based on the Hamiltonian-Jacobi-Isaac (HJI) method. By combining the idea of polynomially parameter-dependent quadratic functions and vector projection method to derive an adaptive H ∞ -control, sufficient conditions with high precision are given to guarantee both robust asymptotic stability and disturbance attenuation of the LPV systems with unknown constant parameters. The applicability of the proposed design method is illustrated on a simple example.

In this paper, we deal with the issue of robust delay-independent asymptotic stability and robust disturbance attenuation problem for linear parameter-dependent systems. Using Hamiltonian-Jacoby-Isaac approach, a parameter-dependent LMI optimization is obtained. It is shown that by utilizing polynomial parameter-dependent quadratic Lyapunov functions, a parameter-dependent LMI optimization problem is derived. Therefore, state feedback control is determined by solving a parameter-independent LMI. Finally, the applicability of the proposed design is illustrated on a simple example

Today's circuit design process is become a complex task. Sequential logic synthesis is an important part of the circuit design flow. The logic synthesis phase is a bottleneck during the overall design process since heuristic techniques which take a considerable amount of time are often used during this phase. A good solution is realized in a constrained design space by using global optimization techniques. The purpose of this paper is to develop a robust optimization algorithm, that searches the solution space as efficiently as possible in order to find a global optimization of the internal states of a specified circuit, as a global solution to a high level synthesis problem.

An integrated approach to control of quantity and quality in water supply and distribution systems is proposed. The integrated control consists in optimising the operational cost, meeting a demand on water of desired quality and maintaining the system constraints. This constrained optimising control problem is complex due to nonlinearities, large dimension, output constraints, mixed-integer structure of the variables involved, at least two time scales in the system dynamics and an uncertainty. A sub-optimal two-level hierarchical control structure is proposed that allows incorporating the desired controller functions and yet making the synthesis of these functions possible. The algorithms for implementing the functionalities are proposed and discussed. Detail design of the lower level controller is presented and investigated. The controller performance is validated by simulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper a novel approach to the impulsive noise removal in color images is presented. The proposed technique employs the switching scheme based on the impulse detection mechanism using the so called peer group concept. Compared to the vector median filter, the proposed technique consistently yields better results in suppressing both the random-valued and fixed-valued impulsive noise. The main advantage of the proposed noise detection framework is its enormous computational speed, which enables efficient filtering of large images in real-time applications.
