Individual instruction is recognized as an effective learning method which is highly supported by the so-called personalized, intelligent or adaptive systems. The main purpose of this learning method is to offer customized content, experience or tools, based on the learning profile of students (learning style, gender, prior knowledge, learning goals and so on), so as to improve the learning outcomes. There are two wide-known adaption techniques implemented by learning systems to provide individual instruction: adaptability and adaptivity. The first one allows the students to take control, e.g. The learning system provides choices to let the students adapt the steps, sequences, difficulty level, preferences, while the second empowers the system, which is able to build a student model and to provide learning support based on that model. The current paper presents PoliCAT-A learning system based on Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) principle, which implements the second adaption technique (adaptivity) to provide individual instruction. Furthermore, the proposed web-based application supports the new learning paradigms, e.g. student-centered learning, communities of practice, and constructivism in general and relies on the current technologies-Web 2.0 and social Web, as students are able to share one's results on social media. The system is described as a useful tool for self-regulated learning, answering thus at the question whether assessment may have a strong formative role in learning or not. Besides highlighting the key features of the application, the paper provides experimental results from a web programming course for forth year students enrolled in an engineering degree program, who used the developed system as a learning tool during one semester. Students reported that they succeeded in strengthening their study skills and monitoring their academic progress through the learning analytics features. The available personalized feedback PoliCAT, as well as the possi

This paper aims to presents the results obtained in electromechanical wind speed emulator of distributed low power system. The results are obtained in insulated regime with a step up/down converter, battery bank and resistive load. All the operating regions are aimed, namely optimization and power limitation one, and also an intermediate operating region is considered in order to ensure smooth transition between these two regions. For control purpose an improved strategy is proposed. Hardware implementation is done under DS1103 controller board running under Matlab and controlDesko ® software. This paper present results from a functional low power wind system, part of a distributed multisource low power system, which offer also the possibility of implementing the behavior and the control of such systems, in grid-connected or disconnected from the national grid. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed system under various conditions.
Currently, variable gain PI (VGPI) controllers are used in several applications. Its structure is built around PI controller tuning and usually an entire number is chosen for the order or degree. This paper deals with...

This paper proposes a robust coalitional distributed model predictive control algorithm suitable for input coupled sub-systems. The core idea is based on a distributed iterative implementation with minimum information exchange, in which the coupling information is regarded as bounded additive uncertainty. If the disturbance received from the neighbours is too large for the local optimization problem, then a coalitional strategy is adopted. The closed-loop stability is guaranteed via terminal constraint. The performance of the coalitional strategy is compared with an iterative min-max distributed model predictive controller and a centralized model predictive controller.
