Presents the introductory welcome message from the conference proceedings. May include the conference officers' congratulations to all involved with the conference event and publication of the proceedings record.
Provides an abstract for each of the keynote presentations and a brief professional biography of each presenter. The complete presentations were not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings.
One Dimensional metal plate heat equation is solved using Laplace transform. The transfer function for both direct and inverse problem were obtained as function of integer power of s from Zero-Pole and Taylor expansions of the resulting hyperbolic functions. Two types of expansions were compared, Zero-Pole and Taylor, using the root locus plots of inverse problem for different number of terms. As...
The control design techniques for linear or hybrid systems (e.g. anti-wind up, MPC) lead often to off-line state-space partitions with non-overlapping convex polyhedral regions. This corresponds to a piecewise state feedback control laws associated to polyhedral partition of the state-space. In this work, we consider the perturbation in the representation of the vertices of the polyhedral regions...
In this paper we present a mechanism of self-adaptation for genetic algorithms with application in the field of control engineering. In recent years, along with the increase in computational power, evolutionary optimization techniques have been increasingly used for the design of controllers. Some methods of design perform parameter tuning of controllers with a chosen structure. PID controllers, widely...
This paper addresses the problem of multiple temperature probes calibration and recalibration for use in demanding medical application. The architecture of the overall calibration system is introduced and the mechanism of calibration data transfer with RFID tag is indicated. A high performance temperature regulation is crucial for the success of the proposed calibration setup. Since the implementation...
The opportunities offered by mobile technology continue to expand with the advances in wireless broadband. These days there are a lot of entrenched business solutions, upgraded for mobile devices, which likewise have direct use to services of the government services, work environment practices and involvement of stakeholders. Each advance has challenges. The usage of M-Government will bring several...
A real – time fire and explosion detection system is presented in this paper. The data being used was acquired by a Wireless Sensor Network, residing in a room. Noise is first rejected from the acquired samples, using an appropriate filter. Next, a model of the stochastic process is computed in real time using a robust – adaptive method. It will be used to predict the temperature's future evolution...
The paper considers the dynamics of discrete-time polytopic systems. Two types of results are presented. The first type refers to the estimation of the spectrum location for the matrix polytope that defines the behavior of a given system. The approach relies on the theory of representatives applied to a set of nonnegative matrices built from the vertices of the matrix polytope. The estimation is provided...
This paper introduces a multi-model approach for the identification of the pumping (water distribution) system in a two tank process, namely ASTANK2. An improved hill climbing algorithm is applied, in order to find the optimal structural indices of the identification models. A simulator that integrates the proposed numerical models and the analytical models developed in authors' previous work is implemented...
Cell culture assays have become a routine testing method in the medical and pharmaceutical research. Real-time monitoring of cells on a substrate using electrical impedance is a convenient and non-invasive method of analysis. Cell proliferation and apoptosis can be quantified and characterized by electrical impedance in a time-dependent manner. Unfortunately monitoring several cell cultures at the...
The paper presents the development of the control system of a new parallel robot used in prostate biopsy. The control system uses the inverse and forward kinematic models implemented in Matlab/Simulink and integrated in the Automation Studio Target for Simulink kit from Bernecker & Rainer in order to create the code that can be further implemented into X20 Programmable Logic Controller series...
System sensitivity analysis (SSA) is a mathematical method used in the study of behaviour of dynamic systems. From engineering practice is well known that a dynamic system did not respond in the same way to all external stimulus (command or disturbance). The results of SSA study for anaerobic digestion bioprocess, provides important information for synthesis of control system. Also, it is possible...
Higher-level SCADA control centers are continuously implemented, upgraded and optimized. One of the most important SCADA software on the market is IGSS. It is frequently used in the water sector due to its appreciated characteristics. The paper presents a solution to optimize IGSS SCADA resources in the context of integrating water and waste water pumping stations into a higher level SCADA system,...
