The paper proposes a new approach to fuzzy abduction by extending the contraposition rule of propositional logic. The main difficulty of fuzzy abduction is due to the restriction of single antecedent clause in a fuzzy production rule. When more than one antecedent clause occurs jointly in a fuzzy rule, the membership value of the derived antecedent clauses become equal, which should not be the case in general. The paper overcomes this problem and demonstrates a simple but elegant method to compute premises in a multi-chained reasoning system.

Due to the increasing availability and sophistication of data recording techniques, multiple information sources and distributed computing are becoming the important trends of modern information systems. Many applications such as security informatics and social computing require a ubiquitous data analysis platform so that decisions can be made rapidly under distributed and dynamic system environments. Although data mining has now been popularly used to achieve such goals, building a data mining system is, however, a nontrivial task, which may require a complete understanding on numerous data mining techniques as well as solid programming skills. Employing agent techniques for data analysis thus becomes increasingly important, especially for users not familiar with engineering and computational sciences, to implement an effective ubiquitous mining platform. Such data mining agents should, in practice, be intelligent, complete, and compact. In this paper, we present an interactive data mining agent - OIDM (online interactive data mining), which provides three categories (classification, association analysis, and clustering) of data mining tools, and interacts with the user to facilitate the mining process. The interactive mining is accomplished through interviewing the user about the data mining task to gain efficient and intelligent data mining control. OIDM can help users find appropriate mining algorithms, refine and compare the mining process, and finally achieve the best mining results. Such interactive data mining agent techniques provide alternative solutions to rapidly deploy data mining techniques to broader areas of data intelligence and knowledge informaties.

Close-up (CU) is a photographic technique which tightly frames a person or an object. In movies, it is applied to guide audience attention and to evoke audience emotion. In this paper, we detect face CU, object CU, and lean of movies, which are widely used to romance emotions. A lean consists of shots in a sequence, with a close-up shot as focus. A set of features are extracted by considering movie making techniques and human attention for CU detection. The features are average saliency, color entropy, color variance, face height, skin area, and texture scales. These features are tested through statistical hypothesis test to be significantly discriminating for CUs. Then, Support Vector Machine (SVM) is applied on these features to detect face CU and object CU. Based on the face CU and object CU detection result, lean is further detected by investigating the changing of the face/object size. Lean detection is of challenge due to the technique of montage. We solve this problem through color similarity estimation and SIFT point matching. Experimental results on four full length movies verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In robot motion planning in a space with obstacles, the goal is to find a collision-free path of robot from the starting to the target position. There are many approaches depending on types of obstacles, dimensionality of the space and restrictions for robot movements. Among the most frequently used are roadmap methods (visibility graphs, Voronoi diagrams, rapidly exploring random trees) and methods based on cell decomposition. A common feature of all these methods is the generating of trajectories composed from line segments. In this paper, we will show that generalised Voronoi diagrams can be used for fast generation of smooth paths sufficiently distant from obstacles.

The IEEE 802.15.4 standard offers a flexible communication solution for low-rate wireless small area networks. When the beacon mode is enabled, real-time communication is possible by using the Guaranteed Time Slots (GTS) mechanism. However, the beacon-enabled mode only supports a maximum of seven GTS allocated in each superframe, preventing other nodes to benefit from the guaranteed service. This paper introduces the SIGHT (Skips In GTS scHeduling for IEEE 802.15.4 neTworks) model, which incorporates a dynamic GTS allocation policy for IEEE 802.15.4 networks based on the (m,k)-firm task model. Our approach ensures that at least m messages are allocated in a guaranteed slot, for any k consecutive superframes. It adopts a deterministic schedulability test and an on-line prioritization heuristic algorithm called Slotted DBP (Distance Based Priority) to attend requests according to this schedulability model. A simulation model has been developed, in order to compare the behaviour in overload conditions of the proposed Slotted DBP with other approaches (DWCS and FIFO).
In this paper a decentralized approach to state estimation of distributed dynamical systems over unreliable communication network subject to uncertain and limited measurements is addressed. Specifically, a distributed...

The paper introduces a decision support architecture with an integrated, self-building simulation module for the validation of the calculated manufacturing capacities, a-priori recognition of due date deviations and analysis of the effect of possible actions. In the underlying research special attention is devoted to the prediction and evaluation of the production on a daily, rolling time horizon basis (e.g., work in process (WIP) trajectories, machine utilizations). The paper addresses the simulation module of a higher level integrated system in which the simulation model is automatically built o the basis of a real-time connection to Manufacturing Execution System. The main functionalities and advantages are highlighted through a real industrial case study.
The paper proposes an alternative way to solve robust reference tracking problem. Instead of rejecting the effect of the disturbance directly, an intermediate step is built into the state estimation problem. The advan...
