To allow comfortable and easy development, component systems have to provide a rather a big set of development supporting tools including at least a tool for composition and repository for storing and retrieving components. In this paper, we evaluate and present advantages of using MOF and meta-modeling during definition of component system and also during development of the supporting tools. Most of the presented arguments are based on a broad practical experience with designing the component systems SOFA and SOFA 2; the former designed in the classical ad hoc manual way, while the latter via meta-modeling.

In this paper we present a general FEM (finite element method) solution that enables fast dynamic deformation simulation on the newly available GPU (graphics processing unit) hardware with compute unified device architecture (CUDA) from NVIDIA. CUDA-enabled GPUs harness the power of 128 processors which allow data parallel computations. Compared to the previous GPGPU, it is significantly more flexible with a C language interface. We not only implement FEM deformation computation algorithms with CUDA but also analyze the performance in detail. Our test results indicate that the GPU with CUDA enables about 4 times speedup for FEM deformation computation on an Intel(R) Core 2 Quad 2.0 GHz machine with GeForce 8800 GTX.

This paper presents a new design to manage transaction and replication for distributed systems. First, we recall the binary vote assignment grid (BVAG) model that imposes neighbours binary vote assignment to its logical grid structure on replicated data copies. Based on this model, we extend our work to design the distributed transaction semantic in order to manage BVAG transaction both in normal and failure cases. We present an implementation of the system. The proposed distributed transaction semantic shows that the system preserves the data consistency and support advance fault-tolerant through synchronization approach.

Although Web services are generally envisioned as being stateless, some of them are implicitly stateful. The reason is that the Web services often work as front-ends to enterprise systems and are used in a session-oriented way by the clients. Contrary to the case of stateless services, for a stateful Web service there exist constraints to the order in which the operations of the service may be invoked. However, specification of such constraints is not a standard part of a Web service interface, and compliance with such constraints is not checked by the standard Web service development tools. Therefore, we propose in this paper to extend a web service interface by a constraint definition that is based on behavior protocols. Also, we implemented a tool that checks whether a given BPEL code complies with the constraints of all stateful web services it communicates with. The key idea behind the tool is to translate the BPEL code into Java and then to check the Java program using Java PathFinder with behavior protocol extension.

In this paper, we propose the basic framework of point- wise topological logic on completely distributive lattices and explore approximate reasoning in it. The logic of this paper is based on pointwise characterization, therefore the pointwise conception is pervasive. We explore approximate reasoning in abstract logical framework Fl on completely distributive lattice L. We propose the structure of point- wise topological logic F TL , the structure of matching function sigma. and the structure of matching neighborhood group. We investigate approximate reasoning in pointwise topological logic F TL with matching function sigma, develop pointwise topological algorithm of simple approximate reasoning, introduce the essential characteristics of this scheme.

This paper is concerned with prototype development and motion control of a dolphin-like underwater robot. The propulsion and maneuvering of the robotic dolphin are realized with the flapping motion of the mechanical flippers and the combined heaving and pitching motions of the fluke. Mechanical design and control of the flipper apparatus and the flexible tail mechanism are presented. Through coordinated control of the propulsors, several swimming movements are designed. Preliminary experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed design scheme.

This paper presents a wireless intelligent incontinence management system being developed for the University Malaya Medical Center (UMMC) that utilizes ldquosmartrdquo diapers to discreetly monitor and estimate wetness events, detect other relevant clinical conditions and alert staff by transmitting information via wireless technology to an intelligent central management system. We describe the hardware and software modules of the system and give results conducted on diaper experiments and the transmission range of the wireless technology.

In this paper, a new concept of generalized lambda-fuzzy measure is introduced, and it is a non-negative, extended real-valued set function satisfying generalized sigma - lambda - rule, and is not necessarily monotone. The relationships between this new concept and lambda-fuzzy measure, a signed measure and so on, are discussed, and it is worth noting that any generalized lambda-fuzzy measure is a signed measure under some conditions. Moreover, an application of generalized lambda-fuzzy measure in image enhancement is given, and the corresponding experiment shows that different values of lambda have different influences on an image.

This paper presents a novel concept of supplying a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) lamp. An electrical model of the lamp is used in a circuit simulator to study the interactions between the converter and the load, which presents a capacitive nature. The current mode supply is chosen instead of the classical voltage mode, in order to respect the causality considerations concerning these interactions. The converter is designed as a unidirectional current source in series with an H-bridge that inverts the current direction in the lamp each half cycle. Two different structures are presented to compose the unidirectional current source: a Boost based converter and a Buck-Boost based converter. Both converters are analyzed using the state plane and implemented, obtaining measurements that comply with the current mode concept. The presented structures allow the control of the current duration and amplitude, thus, the operating point in the discharge. This concept is the basis for the studies of correlation between the gas current and the UV emission.
