Approximating of functions that are specified using imperfect knowledge is one of the central issues of many areas such as machine learning, pattern recognition, data mining, or qualitative reasoning. However, we do not have yet satisfactory methods for approximation of functions and developed calculi on function approximations. In the paper we discuss a function approximation using the rough set approach. The main difference with the existing approaches in rough set theory is based on modification of the inclusion measure. This makes it possible to overcome some drawbacks of the previously used definitions. For applications it is important to develop rough measures on approximated objects, in particular on function approximations. The modified inclusion measure is also used to define an exemplary measure, i.e., the rough integral.

Dynamic properties of a hybrid system are analyzed that has been developed to generate electric energy by utilizing alternative, renewable and waste energies. The solution is based on a system that consists of a high-speed turbine, coupled to a three-phase permanent magnet synchronous generator, an AC/AC converter and a supervisory control unit. The function of the system is to utilize the energy content of some working medium by a special turbine that converts the energy content of the working medium into electric energy by the generator and the AC/AC converter. The alternative renewable energy sources may include solar energy (direct solar steam system or solar energy with heat exchanger), geothermal energy (with or without heat exchanger) and energy obtained from biomass. Various waste energy sources can also be utilized by applying the system such as the energy that can be obtained during the process of pressure reduction in steam, gas and fluid networks. The electric power generated by the system can be fed back to the utility mains or it can be used in stand-alone mode to supply a selected group of loads. The paper analyses a novel control strategy and principle of the system to ensure optimum performance and economy by using a special solution for ensuring the power equilibrium in the combined mechanical-electric drive.

This article introduces an approach to measures of information granules based on rough set theory. Informally, an information granule is a representation of a multiset (or bag) of real-world objects that are somehow indistinguishable, or similar, or which cause the same functionality. Examples of measures of information granules based on the rough set theory are inclusion, closeness, size, and enclosure. All of these measures are based on rough inclusion. This paper is limited to a consideration of measures of inclusion based on a straightforward extension of classical rough membership functions and closeness based on measurement of separation of equivalence classes in a partition of the universe containing information granules. Measurement of sensor-based information granules has been motivated by recent studies of sensor signals. A sensor signal is a non-empty, finite set of sample sensor signal values temporally ordered. Classification of sensor signals requires measurements of sample signal values over subintervals of time. This article introduces a rough set approach to measuring information granule inclusion and closeness.

In addition to the integration of vehicles into traditional networks (e.g. access to the Internet via cellular) the Ad-hoc connection of vehicles within a limited area is a technology that promises a lot of innovative and exciting services. This paper starts with the description of some services to motivate Ad-hoc networking in the vehicular environment. It then gives an overview of the current challenges (especially routing protocols) in this field. If the geographic position of the network nodes is known, better performance can be achieved with the utilization of so called geocast routing-algorithms. An overview of geocast-routing is given and shortcomings of the existing protocols for the usage in inter-vehicle Ad-hoc networks are explained. Finally we make a proposal for a vehicle-optimized geocast routing, protocol that is based on AODV and present our prototype implementation.

We present a new image sequence segmentation method which combines both spatial and temporal information in a multiresolution framework. A region growing technique in a multiresolution scheme outputs an over-segmented partition of the image scene. Pure temporal information is collected for each region using a feature extraction/feature tracking technique. Motion information is further processed in a pyramidal robust motion estimation scheme, in order to calculate more complex motion parameters for each region. Regions obtained from the first step are clustered according to their motion models. This ensures that rigid objects with luminance discontinuities can be segmented correctly. The method has been successfully tested in real imagery and typical examples are presented.

A new method for estimating 3D motion parameters from point correspondences is presented in this paper. The problem formulation leads to the solution of an overdetermined linear system of equations. The total least squares (TLS) method is found to be the most suitable one for estimating the solution since our model includes noise both in the observation data and in the system matrix. The translation parameters are obtained immediately from the above solution whereas the rotation parameters are estimated from the solution of another TLS problem. Tests of our method on artificial data and on real images show its robustness against Gaussian additive noise and against digitalization noise introduced by finite pixel resolution.

The UNIX ™ operating system Virtual Protocol Machine (VPM) is a package of software tools that allows a wide variety of link-level data communications protocols to be implemented efficiently in a high-level language. The resulting protocol implementations are independent of the particular communications hardware, the host machine architecture, and the host operating system, and therefore can be ported easily from one hardware/software environment to another. An extension to VPM, the Common Synchronous Interface (CSI), provides similar benefits for the higher-level protocol software that runs in the UNIX system host. The implementations of VPM use Programmable Communications Devices (PCDs) to off load the link-level communications processing from the host CPU. A high-level language protocol description is translated by a protocol compiler that runs on the host machine. The resulting module is then loaded into the PCD and executed. The other components of VPM are a transparent protocol driver that allows user processes to interact directly with a link-level protocol implementation, a realtime trace capability to facilitate debugging, and several utility programs. VPM has been implemented on several different PCDs and several types of host computers. VPM-based protocol implementations can be ported with little or no change from one VPM implementation to another. VPM and CSI greatly reduce host system overhead while producing maximum communications throughput. A number of different higher-level protocols and their link-level counterparts have been implemented in the UNIX system using CSI and VPM; among them are X.25, 3270 emulation, a synchronous terminal interface, and a facility for remote job entry to IBM hosts.
