The model matching problem minR(z)W(z)-R(z)E(z) involved in multirate filter banks design is addressed. A method is presented to design the synthesis filter bank R(z) with the order of W(z) which is the polyphase representation of the time delay of the reconstructed signal. The existence conditions of such low-order R(z) are given in linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The corresponding H2 model matching problem is solved in the same fashion. The results are illustrated through examples. Examples demonstrate the possibility of improving signal reconstruction error and reducing the order of synthesis filters simultaneously by increasing moderately time delay.

This paper proposes a method to automatically track human body parts in the context of gait modelisation and recognition. The proposed approach is based on a five points human model (head, hands, and feet) where the points are detected and tracked independently. Tracking is fully automatic (no manual initialization of the five points) since it will be used in a real-time surveillance system. Feet are detected in each frame by first finding the space between the legs in the human silhouette. The issue of feet self-occlusion is handled using optical flow and motion correspondence. Skin color segmentation is used to find hands in each frame and tracking is achieved by using a bounding box overlap algorithm. The head is defined as the mass center of a region of the upper silhouette.

Implementation of data mining applications is a challenging and complicated task, and the applications are often built from scratch. In this paper, a component-based application framework, called smart archive (SA) designed for implementing data mining applications, is presented. SA provides functionality common to most data mining applications and components for utilizing history information. Using SA, it is possible to build high-quality applications with shorter development times by configuring the framework to process application-specific data. The architecture, the components, the implementation and the design principles of the framework are presented. The advantages of a framework-based implementation are demonstrated by presenting a case study which compares the framework approach to implementing a real-world application with the option of building an equivalent application from scratch. In conclusion, the paper presents a lucid framework for creating data mining applications and illustrates the importance and advantages of using the presented approach.

We propose a wireless control technique for spatially distributed power electronic systems and demonstrate its applicability for master-slave control of two parallel converters, namely a two-module parallel buck converter and a two-module parallel single-phase voltage source inverter. This scheme uses radiofrequency based communication to eliminate the need for multiple physical connections among the various modules of the parallel converters and is expected to lead to simpler and redundant design of distributed power systems that is achievable using the droop method, while maintaining load sharing among the various modules. The proposed method can also be used as a backup for wire-based control of parallel converters, in applications where fault tolerance is of critical importance

Many models proposed in the literature to describe Low Voltage power distribution networks in consumer premises as communication media require knowledge of the electrical parameters of the cables comprising these networks. These parameters are nevertheless affected by a large number of factors which may vary greatly from case to case, making it thus very difficult to achieve an exact estimation about them. In this work a finite element approach is used for the simulation of a power distribution cable as communication medium, and the operational series impedance per unit length of a widely used cable type is derived. Moreover, the variation of the cable's operational series impedance versus current frequency, cable distance from earth and earth resistivity is presented.

Given a directed graphical model with binary-valued hidden nodes and real-valued noisy observations, consider deciding upon the maximum a-posteriori (MAP) or the maximum posterior-marginal (MPM) assignment under the restriction that each node broadcasts only to its children exactly one single-bit message. We present a variational formulation, viewing the processing rules local to all nodes as degrees-of-freedom, that minimizes the loss in expected (MAP or MPM) performance subject to such online communication constraints. The approach leads to a novel message-passing algorithm to be executed offline, or before observations are realized, which mitigates the performance loss by iteratively coupling all rules in a manner implicitly driven by global statistics. We also provide (i) illustrative examples, (ii) assumptions that guarantee convergence and efficiency and (iii) connections to active research areas.

The scale, heterogeneity, and dynamism of emerging distributed and decentralized environments make coordination a significant and challenging problem. In this paper we present Comet, a scalable peer-to-peer content-based coordination space. Comet provides a global virtual shared-space that can be associatively accessed by all peer nodes in the system, and access is independent of the physical location of the tuples or identifiers of the host. Dynamically constructed, transient coordination spaces are also supported to enable context locality to be explicitly exploited for improving system performance. The design, implementation, and experimental evaluation of Comet using the PlanetLab platform are presented.

The equivalence conditions between homogeneous and two-layer earth structures are investigated in this paper. The analysis is based on the comparison between the two-layer and the homogeneous earth return impedance relations. The aim is the derivation of a new simple formula to connect the homogeneous earth equivalent resistivity with the two-layer earth electromagnetic and geometric properties. Thus, the relatively simple expressions for the impedance calculation of the homogeneous earth case can be used for two-layer earth models. The new formula is implemented for six actual cases of two-layer earth models. The two-layer earth impedances are calculated for various configurations, including overhead transmission lines, underground cable systems and a combination of overhead line and underground conductor. The calculated impedances are compared to the corresponding for the homogeneous earth, using the equivalent resistivity given by the new formula.

This paper presents the gait pattern generation work performed for the six-legged robot EA308 developed in our laboratory. The aim is to achieve a dynamically developing gait pattern generation structure using reinforcement learning. For the six legged robot a simplified simulative model is constructed. The algorithm constructs a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) to command proper leg configurations to the simulative robot. The weights of the RBFNN are learned using reinforcement learning. The developed structure succeeded in learning gait patterns compatible with different speeds of the robot.
