The systematic conception of decentralized and self-adaptive software systems, as demanded for the run-time management of today’s distributed, multi-tier software architectures, is an active research area. Here, we discuss a coordination architecture that facilitates the enactment of externalized coordination models in Multi-agent Systems (MAS). Coordination is configured by systemic models, i.e. structures of agent-behaviour interdependencies that denote the mutual influences of agent activities. The systematic, iterative application development is supported by a non-intrusive integration approach that enables developers to adjust application dynamics by complementing agent-based applications with systemic coordination models.

Virtual systems for definition, analysis and application of product models are widely applied in development, production, and application of products. These systems provide outstanding performance in description of product information. At the same time, any modification of earlier decided product information needs contribution from the original decision maker. Otherwise new decision is to be made while the original intent is not available. The authors conceptualized a new modeling method where human intent is stored in the product model as content of modeled information. This content is applied at new decision making. Some aspect of this new modeling is introduced in this paper starting with an introduction to model based product development. Following this, a method is shown for tracking affected engineering object chains by using of change affect zone (CAZ) definition. Next, the authors propose an information content extension to product model. They studied current information based product models, recognized conflict as caused by application of information based product modeling, and decided to complete the information based product model by information content based model. The conflict is in the communication between information based modeling procedures and information content based human. The proposed modeling can be implemented as an extension to functionality and model of professional product lifecycle management (PLM) systems.

E-Learning makes it possible for learners to study at any time. With the improvement of ubiquitous technologies and corresponding devices, learners can conduct their learning activities without any limitations from the environment. Instructors can utilize various kinds of resources to create more plentiful learning materials for learners. In this situation, instructors or learners have to spend more time on collecting relevant resources for a specific purpose. In our previous works, we utilized the geographical information and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) to develop an outdoor adventure game to support learning procedures. In this paper, we go further to propose and develop a resource retrieval mechanism to assist learners in collecting relevant learning resources. This mechanism can be regarded as a search procedure. We aim at providing search results in the order of relevant degree based on learners' current geographical information. It can make resource retrieval more efficient in ubiquitous learning environments.

This paper is concerned with a strictly positive real H 2 controller design problem using an observer-based controller with Kalman filter gain. In this paper, we propose a successive method with non-common Lyapunov variables for this control problem. The feature of our method is to construct a controller sequence on which H 2 norm is monotonically non-increasingly while all controllers are strictly positive real. A numerical example shows the efficiency of our method.
This paper investigates signal and system representations in special rational orthogonal bases of the Hardy space H2. These bases are derived from the Blaschke-group associated to the hyperbolic group SH(n) of matrice...

Robustness analysis and visualization are two of key concepts of multi-criteria decision support. They enable the decision-maker to improve his understanding of both the model and the problem domain. A class of original mathematical optimization based robustness metrics is hence defined in this paper. In addition, several efficient existing techniques that have been successfully used in various ICT projects are presented. They include the stability intervals/regions and the principal components analysis. All approaches are applied to the multi-attribute utility function, and to the PROMETHEE II and ELECTRE TRI methods. Their benefits are discussed and demonstrated on real life cases.

Performance evaluation is a serious challenge in designing or optimizing reconfigurable instruction set processors. The conventional approaches based on synthesis and simulations are very time consuming and need a considerable design effort. A combined analytical and simulation-based model (CAnSO*) is proposed and validated for performance evaluation of a typical reconfigurable instruction set processor. The proposed model consists of an analytical core that incorporates statistics gathered from cycle-accurate simulation to make a reasonable evaluation and provide a valuable insight. Compared to cycle-accurate simulation results, CAnSO proves almost 2% variation in the speedup measurement.

This paper explains our developing Corpus of Japanese classroom Lecture speech Contents (henceforth, denoted as CJLC). Increasing e-Learning contents demand a sophisticated interactive browsing system for themselves, however, existing tools do not satisfy such a requirement. Many researches including large vocabulary continuous speech recognition and extraction of important sentences against lecture contents are necessary in order to realize the above system. CJLC is designed as their fundamental basis, and consists of speech, transcriptions, and slides that were collected in real university classroom lectures.

This paper presents a fault diagnostic technique that is able to estimate the output filter condition of DC/DC boost and buck-boost converters. More than half of the breakdowns in these equipments are mainly due to the output filter capacitor. So, the development of fault diagnostic techniques that can avoid unexpected breakdowns is of paramount importance. The aging of the output filter capacitors is expressed by the increase of their internal resistance, that changes considerable with temperature. The proposed technique uses both input current and output voltage ripple to estimate capacitors internal resistance; for that, a very simple analytical relationship between both waveforms is used. The temperature effect is also considered for evaluating the capacitors condition.
