A new software for designing photovoltaic solar installations in a 3D environment has been developed with the support of the UPV Valencia. This paper presents the capabilities of the software designing a ground power plant in Marrakesh as a case study. The software merges several well-known tools like PVGYS and SketchUp 3d. A shadows study of the surrounding buildings is done to find out the area...
Achieving efficiency gains on all levels of enterprise architecture by such means as standardization has been and is a goal of researchers and practitioners working on the provisioning of IT services. At the process level, provisioning IT services is defined in common practice frameworks like the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL). ITIL describes a trend where vendors offer new application systems for...
Mobile communication system is the most widely used wireless communication system, the electromagnetic spectrum environment increasingly complex today, network optimization as a constraint to the performance of mobile communication systems an essential factor. Rational allocation of mobile communication system network optimization resources due to lower operating costs and improve business efficiency,...
Configuration options are widely used for customizing the behavior and initial settings of software applications, server processes, and operating systems. Their distinctive property is that each option is processed, defined, and described in different parts of a software project - namely in code, in configuration file, and in documentation. This creates a challenge for maintaining project consistency...
Developing large-scale software applications in teams has long been a popular feature of capstone courses in computing degree programs, particularly in the fields of computer science and software engineering. Instructors utilize real world problems as well as external clients to motivate the students and to provide authentic experiences. Within the field of game design and development, students have...
This paper discusses the creative practice of independents and individuals and their requirements for tools to author location-based experiences (LBE), including location-based games (LBG). The work describes and presents initial findings from a questionnaire study and a workshop. Both studies focused upon the working practices of individuals and small independent artists, hackers and researchers,...
Role play has a long history as a tool for learning. It is often used to simulate practices in the world in an environment where consequences can be mitigated. Despite its effective use by the armed forces, emergency responders, negotiators, and political campaign managers, role play is a tool seldom used in STEM classrooms. In this paper, we will describe the incorporation of certain aspects of role...
The production of learning objects has been investigated in order to improve its quality, reusability, among others aspects. In this context, besides of analyzing the final product of the objects and its methodologies, it is also important to analyze the roles involved in the production, including the team's necessary skills to produce a learning object with high quality, reuse and able to solve a...
The development process of complex production machines requires an intense collaboration of different technical disciplines. In this context, the interdisciplinary development team often lacks a common and continuously updated system model of the machine, which can consequently lead to high communication effort and delays the overall development process. For a more efficient and effective production...
There is an urgent need in the University Teachers to create their own digital educational materials, (MED) that they allow them to customize and contextualize their areas of knowledge with an inclusive approach to support their academic practice as mediators' elements in the teaching-learning process. From this perspective, this text aims, guide, orient, and promote from the theory to practice in...
Chemical pesticides security and configuration problems of low precision blending process design a kind of liquid chemical pesticide ingredient line automatic control system. System consists of Host-Computer, PLC, weighing instruments and touch-screen configuration, which use Visual Basic develop design software, with data collection, storage and query capabilities. Omron PLC as the master controller...
The renewable electric power generation in low voltage distribution grids is continuously increasing, which can lead to overload of power transformers. Battery storages can help reducing the load of the transformer and increase the percentage of self sufficiency of distribution grids. In this paper applications of the Viable System Model proposed by Stafford Beer in different fields of research are...
The functional diagnosis expert system based on knowledge base in the form of neuro-fuzzy network was proposed in this paper. Current values of diagnostic parameters are measured by sensors. The hybrid expert diagnostic system with neuro-fuzzy network knowledge base supports decisions in the situation when the diagnosis algorithm is not known and is formed from the initial data in the form of production...
Paradigm shift in architectural design initiated by new technological developments has replaced conventional processes of architectural model design with dynamic transformative ones. This paper examines some of the recent developments in the architectural design through analysis of selected architectural projects and their models. The focus of the paper is the analysis of some new approaches in architectural...
The utilization of modular and reusable resources would reduce complexity and lead-time for the design of cyber-physical systems. Even if different theories have been proposed, there is not a general definition and metamodel applicable for reusable resources. Energetic approaches constitute the state of the art for modeling the dynamics of physical systems. Within this work, Power-Oriented Graphs...
The article presents a model of controlling the flow of energy in agricultural biogas plant. Control model was made on the basis of a shared project biogas power plant. Biogas plant control algorithm modeled using SCADA software and an analysis of cost performance and life of the investment have been presented.
A method to define a best case behavioral or “golden inverter” software model has been developed, derived from either internal inverter readings (internal), high precision site based measurements or laboratory characterization and well defined conditions. The paper describes the method of the model development as well as the performance of the model for a selected use case.
Modern manufacturing systems based on cyber-physical systems with a growing amount of software allow frequent updates and reconfigurations to adapt the systems to volatile usage scenarios in the production. A diverse system environment arises even for similar or equal subsystems based on the same platform used at different locations. A major challenge for such systems is the regression test after...
Today's highly increasing product diversity and decreasing product life cycles, also in the automotive industry lead to fast changing production systems with a high ratio of mechatronic components and (control) software. That again leads to ever increasing use of Virtual Commissioning during the development process of automated manufacturing plants. Paired with the still increasing request towards...
This paper presents MONO, a tool to support interdisciplinary and geographically dispersed teams. MONO supports the definition, execution, and monitoring of collaborative processes to allow development engineers to interact with musicians, designers, and producers, to create digital contents such as video games or animated short films. MONO supports geographically distributed teams, involved in digital...
