Because the structure and function of a high-rise building is complex and the density of occupants in it is high, fire safety is still a worldwide difficult problem. Safety and timely evacuation is an important issue under fire in the high-rise buildings. Because it is impossible in fact to do experiments about fire safety evacuation in high-rise buildings, in this paper, a research framework based on the artificial system, computational experiments, and parallel excution (ACP) theory is proposed. First, an evacuation process is considered to compose of two stages including pre-evacuation stage and evacuation stage. Second, artifical men with recognition functions based agent technology is proposed. Finally, computational experiments are designed by using an orthogonal experiment table, and experiment procedure of pre-evacuation stage is given. The idea of systimatic research about the influence of fire control facilities to evacuation is also proposed.

Security assessment of Thermal Power Plants (TPPs) is one of the important means to guarantee the safety of production in thermal power production enterprises. Essentially, the evaluation of power plant systems relies to a large extent on the knowledge and length of experience of the experts. Therefore in this domain Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is introduced for the security assessment of TPPs since this methodology models expertise through experience management. Taking the management system of TPPs as breakthrough point, this paper presents a case-based approach for the security assessment decision support of TPPs (SATPP). First, this paper reviews commonly used approaches for TPPs security assessment and the current general evaluation process of TPPs security assessment. Then a framework for the Management system Security Assessment of Thermal Power Plants (MSSATPP) is constructed and an Intelligent Decision Support system for MSSATPP (IDSS-MSSATPP) is functionally designed. MSSATPP involves several key technologies and methods such as knowledge representation and case matching.

This paper addresses a robust H_(infinity) filtering problem for networked systems that are subject to both random transmission delays and packet dropouts. To start with, a data transmission model is established by employing random series with Bernoulli distributions. A sufficient condition for robust stability with H_(infinity) constraints is derived for the filtering error system. The robust filter is designed in terms of the feasibility of a linear matrix inequality (LMI). The numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the data transmission model and the proposed filtering method.

In this paper, distributed containment control with group dispersion and cohesion behaviors are discussed for a group of Lagrange systems. Both the cases of constant leaders' generalized coordinate derivatives and time-varying leaders' generalized coordinate derivatives are considered. The proposed control algorithms are shown to obtain velocity matching, connectivity maintenance and collision avoidance. In addition, the sum of the steady-state distances between followers and the convex hull formed by the leaders is shown to be bounded and this bound is explicitly given.

Studying spatio-temporal evolution of epidemics can uncover important aspects of interaction among people, infectious diseases, and the environment, providing useful insights and modeling support to facilitate public health response and possibly prevention measures. This paper presents an empirical spatio-temporal analysis of epidemiological data concerning 2321 SARS-infected patients in Beijing in 2003. We mapped the SARS morbidity data with the spatial data resolution at the level of street and township. Two smoothing methods, Bayesian adjustment and spatial smoothing, were applied to identify the spatial risks and spatial transmission trends. Furthermore, we explored various spatial patterns and spatio-temporal evolution of Beijing 2003 SARS epidemic using spatial statistics such as Moran’s I and LISA. Part of this study is targeted at evaluating the effectiveness of public health control measures implemented during the SARS epidemic. The main findings are as follows. (1) The diffusion speed of SARS in the northwest-southeast direction is weaker than that in northeast-southwest direction. (2) SARS’s spread risk is positively spatially associated and the strength of this spatial association has experienced changes from weak to strong and then back to weak during the lifetime of the Beijing SARS epidemic. (3) Two spatial clusters of disease cases are identified: one in the city center and the other in the eastern suburban area. These two clusters followed different evolutionary paths but interacted with each other as well. (4) Although the government missed the opportunity to contain the early outbreak of SARS in March 2003, the response strategies implemented after the mid of April were effective. These response measures not only controlled the growth of the disease cases, but also mitigated the spatial diffusion.
It is unfeasible to analyze the security events by the manual way for the security manager, because the number of the events is huge and the information contained in the events is meaningless. After analyzing the exis...

In this paper, a new on-line soft sensing method is proposed for component concentrations of sodium aluminate solution. With this sensing strategy, real-time control and optimization can be realized in aluminate production plants. Several advance techniques are used, such as PLS (Partial Least Squares), Hammerstein model, recurrent neural networks and least square algorithm. Industrial experiment results show that the proposed soft sensing algorithm is effective.

Traditional on-site fault diagnosis means cannot meet the needs of large rotating machinery for its performance and complexity. Remote monitoring and diagnosis technology is a new fault diagnosis mode combining computer technology, communication technology, and fault diagnosis technology. The designed remote monitoring and diagnosis and prediction system for large rotating machinery integrates the distributed resources in different places and breaks through shortcomings as the offline and decentralized information. The system can make further implementation of equipment prediction technology research based on condition monitoring and fault diagnosis, provide on-site analysis results, and carry out online actual verification of the results. The system monitors real-time condition of the equipment and achieves early fault prediction with great significance to guarantee safe operation, saves maintenance costs, and improves utilization and management of the equipment.
