Embedded network systems use serial communication protocols and simplified media access control schemes in order to exchange information among several interconnected nodes. Within this paper a generalization of the classical media access control (MAC) protocols used in small embedded serial networks of microcontrollers is investigated and an implementation platform for testing the proposed MAC schemes is described. Thus, the classic master-slave and token-bus protocols turn out to be just two particular cases of the proposed generalized media access control (GMAC) algorithms: a centralized and a distributed one, respectively. By applying these generalized algorithms in practice, significant increase in data throughput is obtained, as it resulted from the simulation tests and then by practical implementation on a typical embedded network of microcontrollers.

This paper presents a combination of programming languages and web technologies used to deploy a modern remote controlled system. The hardware part of the system is a parallel port interface board that contains different types display devices, user-input components and some relays. The system functionality is based on some software applications developed using different techniques: the communication between the parallel interface, local computer and webserver PC is based on standard C, the user interface is developed using php, mysql, html and javascript technologies. Users can access full resources of the system if they are registered or only some demonstration and training sections as guest users.

This paper presents a study about how efficient implementation of software changes helps students to better understanding of programming techniques and algorithms. The study is performed during last three years on first year students, considering applications classes for two first year courses: computer programming part I and part II. There are taken into account some partial results during the semester, final exams and also some questionnaires accomplished by students. The ratings for this study are imported from a database. The study is regarding around eight hundred students.

A series of modelling methodologies based on artificial intelligence tools are applied to solve a complex real-world problem. Neural networks and support vector machines are used as models and differential evolution and clonal selection algorithms as optimizers for structural and parametric optimization of the models. The goal is to make a comparative analysis of these methods for the case study of the free radical polymerization of styrene, a complex, difficult to model process, where the monomer conversion and molecular masses are predicted as a function of reaction conditions, i.e. temperature, amount of initiator and time. Four modelling methodologies are developed and evaluated in terms of accuracy.
Nowadays parallel manipulators are used widely in bioengineering applications;this leads to many exciting expectations as well as challenges. The kinematic analysis of parallel manipulators with their differential kin...

As ever more data is collected in the business processes of large enterprises, the decision makers need new business intelligence tools. Enterprise reporting tools have been available for some time, however, while reports aggregate business data, the large number of reports can become unmanageable. The European funded project Questor aims to create a revolutionary product that will eliminate the complexities inherent in the report management workflow. The final purpose is to make querying the report database as simple as addressing a question in natural language. This paper gives an overview over the concept of the Questor project, its software architecture, algorithms and results.
This paper introduces a systematic approach to synthesize linear parameter-varying (LPV) representations of nonlinear (NL) systems which are originally defined by control affine state-space representations. The conver...

N-grams are a building block in natural language processing and information retrieval. It is a sequence of a string data like contiguous words or other tokens in text documents. In this work, we study how N-gram can be computed efficiently using a MapReduce for distributed data processing and a distributed database named Hbase This technique is applied to construct the training and testing processes using Hadoop MapReduce framework and Hbase. We proposed to focus on the time cost and storage size of the model and exploring different structures of Hbase table. By constructing and comparing a different table structures on training 100 million words for unigram, bigram and trigram models we suggest a table based on half ngram structure is a more suitable choice for distributed language model. The results of this work can be applied in the cloud computing and other large scale distributed language processing areas.

An engine test stand created especially for research of electrical race car is described in the paper. The car is an aim of Silesian Greenpower project whose participants build and test electrical vehicles to take part in international races in Great Britain. The engine test stand is used to test and measure the characteristics of vehicles and their engines. It has been designed particularly to test the electric cars engineered by students of Silesian Greenpower project. The article contains a description how the test stand works and shows its versatility in many areas. The paper presents both construction of the test stand, control system and sample results of conducted research. The engine test stand was designed and modified using PLM Siemens NX 8.5. The construction of the test stand is highly modular, which means it can be used both for testing the vehicle itself or for tests without the vehicle. The test stand has its own wheel, motor, powertrain and braking system with second engine. Such solution enables verifying various concepts without changing the construction of the vehicle. The control system and measurement system are realized by enabling National Instruments product myRIO (RIO - Reconfigurable Input/Output). This controller in combination with powerful LabVIEW environment performs as an advanced tool to control torque and speed simultaneously. It is crucial as far as the test stand is equipped in two motors - the one being tested and the braking one. The feedback loop is realized by an optical encoder cooperating with the rotor mounted on the wheel. The results of tests are shown live on the screen both as a chart and as single values. After performing several tests there is a report generated. The engine test stand is widely used during process of the Silesian Greenpower vehicle design. Its versatility enables powertrain testing, wheels and tires tests, thermal analysis and more.

The increased traffic flow on both existing highways and city roads leads to the appearance of stop-and-go waves which have many disadvantages, e.g., increased risk of accidents, higher fuel consumption, increased pollution, increased wear of vehicle mechanical parts, driving stress and passenger discomfort. The platooning of vehicles could be the solution to this problem by enforcing them to follow each other and to maintain a safe distance between them. The advantages brought by this solution depend on ensuring the string stability of the vehicle platoon. In this paper the leader-follower system is employed to illustrate the stop-and-go waves mitigation. Several controllers (P, PI) were designed based on the conditions that have to be met in order to ensure the string stability of the vehicle platoon and comparisons were made with a controller based on the driver behavior.
