This paper introduces an approach to develop distributed fuzzy control systems within the framework of market-based control. In market-based systems an artificial economy is created defining the role of consumer and producer agents and a pricing system as well. The control problem is formulated as a distributed resource allocation problem in which prices act as coordination variables to induce market equilibrium. Here fuzzy rules are used to model the behavior of the consumer and producer agents. Agents play the role of subsystem controllers. Equilibrium is found by simultaneously solving the set of fuzzy models of the agents. An example concerning a set of coupled tanks is used to illustrate the approach.

Recent trends in industrial production are marked by rapid changes in structures of collaboration or competition, as well as the spreading of customized production and more intricate customer demands regarding quality and visibility of delivery processes. All this calls for efficient means of tracking and tracing beyond company borders—a technological step which is, in principle, available, yet, it is de facto restricted to isolated proprietary solutions excluding countless small and medium-sized enterprises from their application. The EU-funded project TraSer (Identity-Based Tracking and Web-Services for SMEs) was started with the goal of overcoming these obstacles by providing a free, open-source tracking and tracing solution platform which would allow SMEs to set up and maintain tracking and tracing services across company borders requiring low costs of initial investment and operation. The paper presents main goals and envisaged results of the project.
The aim of this research is to minimize the energy dissipation of embedded controllers without jeopardizing the Quality of Control (QoC). Taking advantage of the Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) technology, this study de...

Digital watermarking is a technique used against illicit distribution of copyrighted material. In this paper we present steganographic techniques for watermarking, with an emphasis on robustness and bit-rate. Robustness is achieved using an optimal transform, and bit-rate is achieved by properly preprocessing the watermark signal.

Digital watermarking has been identified as a major technology to achieve copy control and ownership protection, due to improvements in imaging technologies and the ease with which digital multimedia can be created and manipulated. In this paper we present a hybrid steganographic technique for watermarking, using SVD transform and watermark quantization.

A lot of learning management systems (LMS) were developed in the last ten years since e-learning opens new possibilities in learning scenarios. They offer the possibility to watch any of the students action on the computer, but possibilities to verify the level of knowledge, a student has reached (accordingly to Bloompsilas taxonomy), are very poor. Multiple choice questions and the like can only verify lower levels in this taxonomy. In this paper we discuss a new approach in verifying higher levels of knowledge in connection with interactive teaching software and online laboratories, which are coupled to an LMS. This work is a result of eight years cooperation between the Tallinn University of Technology and the Ilmenau University of Technology.

This paper describes a new software tool for high quality training/learning in the field of digital microelectronics. Its main purpose is to give insight into reliability and quality assurance technologies based on linear feedback shift registers (LFSR) and other pseudo-random pattern generators (PRPG). Various PRPG types are becoming the mainstream test generation solution used in built-in self-test (BIST) structures. Taking into account complex theoretical concepts behind the microelectronics self-testing (including data coding and compression, cryptography, field theory, linear programming) it is important to effectively educate engineers in this field. The software tool we present in this paper is aimed at facilitating this goal. Unlike other similar systems, this tool facilitates study of various test optimization problems, allows fault coverage analysis for different circuits and with different LFSR parameters. The main didactic aim of the tool is presenting complicated concepts in a comprehensive graphical and analytical way. The multi-platform JAVA runtime environment allows for easy usage of the tool both in the classroom and at home. The BIST Analyzer represents an integrated simulation, training, and research environment that supports both analytic and synthetic way of learning. Due to the above mentioned facts the tool provides a unique training platform to use in courses on electronic testing and design for testability.

The paper presents a possible version of systemic approach to model and simulate linear, time invariant processes, highlighting the unitary and systematized character of the procedure. The results can be extended for a large and diversified category of processes, with specific applications of control systems.

In this paper, we propose a novel skeletonize method for multi width ribbon-like shapes. The two difference images with vertical and horizontal directions respectively are computed to locate the singularities of the original image. Then the gradient directions of these singularity points are computed. The skeletonization can be obtained by finding the centers of via pair wise singularity points using their gradient directions. The most attracting nature of this method is that it can handle multi width shapes, which is very difficult in conventional methods. The experimental results show that our method is a ldquogoodrdquo method closing to human conception.
