Embedded applications can be structured in terms of mobile agents that are flexibly installed on available nodes. In wireless systems, such nodes typically have limited battery and memory resources; therefore it is important to place agents judiciously. In this paper we tackle the problem of placing a newcomer agent in such a system. The problem has two main components. First, enough memory space must be found or created at some node to place the agent. Second, the placement should be energy efficient. We present heuristics for tackling these two goals in a stepwise fashion, as well as a branch and bound method for achieving both goals at the same time. Our algorithms are centralized assuming a single entry point through which agents are injected into the system, with adequate knowledge of the system state and enough resources to run the proposed algorithms. The algorithms are evaluated under different simulated scenarios, and the tradeoffs across the two metrics (space, energy) are identified.

This paper aims to design a robust H ∞ control system against time invariant polytopic uncertainties. In general, such robust control problems are described by parameter dependent bilinear matrix inequality (PDBMI) problems which are not tractable numerically and there are few efficient methods for solving them. In this paper, we propose an iterative approach to the robust H ∞ controller synthesis problems, which constructs a sequence of infeasible controllers. The feature of our approach is to be able to use any controller variables which may not be a robust stabilizing controller as an initial point. The efficiency of our approach is shown by a numerical example.

This paper is concerned with the robust regional pole placement control problem against time invariant polytopic uncertainties. In this paper we propose an iterative approach to design a fixed-order output feedback controller achieving the robust regional pole placement. The features of our approach are to be able to use any controller variables as an initial point and to construct a controller sequence approaching a feasible region from the outside. Numerical examples are given to show the efficiency of our approach.

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the latest step towards the 4th generation (4G) of radio technologies designed to increase the capacity and speed of mobile communications. To support Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Services (MBMS), LTE offers the possibility to transmit Multimedia Broadcast multicast service over a Single Frequency Network (MBSFN), where a time-synchronized common waveform is transmitted from multiple cells for a given duration. In this paper we analytically present the MBSFN delivery method and evaluate its performance. The critical parameters of primary interest for the evaluation of the scheme are the packet delivery cost and its scalability. To this direction, a telecommunication cost analysis of the MBMS service is presented based on the transmission cost over the air interface, as well as the costs of all interfaces and nodes of the MBSFN architecture. Since the performance of the MBSFN scheme mainly depends on the configuration of the LTE network that is under investigation, we consider different network topologies, MBSFN deployments and user distributions.

The different modeling approaches in Systems Biology create models with different levels of detail. The transformation techniques in Petri net theory can provide a solid framework for zooming between these different levels of abstraction and refinement. This work presents a Petri net based approach to Metabolic engineering that implements model reduction methods to reduce the complexity of large-scale metabolic networks. These methods can be complemented with kinetics inference to build dynamic models with a smaller number of parameters. The central carbon metabolism model of E. coli is used as a test-case to illustrate the application of these concepts. Model transformation is a promising mechanism to facilitate pathway analysis and dynamic modeling at the genome-scale level.

In this paper, a statistical learning approach to spatial context exploitation for semantic image analysis is presented. The proposed method constitutes an extension of the key parts of the authors' previous work on spatial context utilization, where a Genetic Algorithm (GA) was introduced for exploiting fuzzy directional relations after performing an initial classification of image regions to semantic concepts using solely visual information. In the extensions reported in this work, a more elaborate approach is followed during the spatial knowledge acquisition and modeling process. Additionally, the impact of every resulting spatial constraint on the final outcome is adaptively adjusted. Experimental results as well as comparative evaluation on three datasets of varying complexity in terms of the total number of supported semantic concepts demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

In this paper, automatic grape leaves processing and preparation of them (fitting of the proper cutting shapes on leaves area) to cover food industry needs, are presented. In the experimental setup, images are captured by means of a single firewire camera and a LED-based lighting system, while grape leaves are moving on a conveyor belt. For image processing, a novel software application (called NtolcutPT) has been developed in visual C++. It is based on known and novel proposed in this paper image processing algorithms and methodologies that ensure automatic leaves processing in real time, with less wastage and more reliability. Adapting the proposed system in a food industry production line the whole process can be optimized. Experimental results prove the effectiveness of this system.

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) are computer-based education tools used for adaptive learning. An ITS authoring system allows teachers to create different modules of an intelligent tutoring system. In this paper, we present an ITS authoring system that allows teachers with very less computer skill to author most important modules of an ITS with minimum efforts. The salient features of the system include authoring multilingual documents, defining teaching strategies using fuzzy rules, representing student models through fuzzy state transition automata. The authoring system was used by the teachers and evaluated. The results shows fair degree of accuracy, which may further be improved by adding few more features.
