Development of an autonomous unmanned surface vehicle (USV) that may serve as a mother ship for a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a small autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), in support of surface autonomy in sensing and surveillance missions, is described. The USV development includes implementation of low-level controls, stereovision perception, and a task-oriented high-level planner, which...
This paper proposes a novel online software nonlinearity correction algorithm for acoustic active monitoring in aquatic environments. Based on irregular time resampling (time warping), coupled with statistical estimation, the estimated reference function is available for further match filtering at the reception.
In order to work out the accident caused by the impact or frequent current into the ground on person or equipment near the substation when transmission line tower is short-circuited, the technology of multi-point monitoring to scattered current in the ground were studied in this paper. And then the method is verified by simulation and experiment. At the same time, the scattered current of not monitored...
This demo showcases some of the capabilities foreseen for the security infrastructure designed by the H2020 SHIELD project. SHIELD exploits NFV for adaptive monitoring of an IT infrastructure and for feeding the data to an analytics engine to detect attacks in real time. An intelligent reaction system is then activated to reconfigure the SDN/NFV infrastructure so that the attacks are thwarted. The...
Even the most innovative healthcare technologies provide patient benefits only when adopted by clinicians and/or patients in actual practice. Yet realizing optimal positive impact from a new technology for the widest range of individuals who would benefit remains elusive. In software and new product development, iterative rapid-cycle “agile” methods more rapidly provide value, mitigate failure risks,...
As an emerging approach to support fast delivery of software features with reliable quality, DevOps attracts more and more practitioners and shows the potential to become one of the mainstream approach for software development and operation. Many universities begin to offer DevOps related courses to the students majored in software engineering and computer science. However, as a critical part of a...
This paper demonstrates a methodology for how the organizations that employ complex enterprise systems of systems can significantly improve cyber defense while decreasing overall operating costs by using formal methods. The paper demonstrates an approach that uses an event-based methodology to formalize all types of enterprise behavior, to include system, human, and environmental events.
The purpose of this study is to determine the sleep status of college students. 12 volunteers(mean ± SE: 22 ± 2 yr, 170 ± 10cm, 61 ± 16 kg) take part in the research. The sleep situation are got by the waistband sleep monitor system. The average heart rate of the whole night, the average breath rate of the whole night, bed time, get up time, onset latency, total sleep time are monitored. These important...
In 2015, Zheng & Carter warned that the Internet of Things (IoT) would have an exponential deployment in all types of industry in order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations. In the military sphere, it has not been different. The Ecuadorian Armed Forces are trying to equip their soldiers with IoT Technology to monitor and visualize in real time the state of health during...
Smart grid software integrates various software components in Generation, Transmission, Distribution, Smart Metering and Cloud systems. The smart grid architecture is evolving with new features and to accommodate legacy software elements. Smart grid integrated software is an evolving approach in line with modern Information and Communication technology. In this paper, the authors propose a software...
The issues of energy efficiency and energy balance in industrial enterprises are considered. Particular attention is paid to automatic control systems for heat supply in order to achieve energy savings. The experience of development, operation and maintenance phase of monitoring, analysis and control systems at heat supply facilities of enterprises in Vladivostok is given.
Monitoring the results of software reliability growth models (SRGMs) helps evaluate project's situations. SRGMs are used to measure the reliability of software by analyzing the relations between the number of detected bugs and the detected time to predict the number of remaining bugs within the software. For example, development managers apply a SRGM to the number of detected bugs and the detected...
Paper deals with the smart city and smart public lighting concept and their characteristics. Furthermore, it deals with public lighting management system capabilities and interoperability between more public lighting systems, with possibility of implementation of standardized system for public lighting management in terms of smart city concept. Different manufacturers of public lighting use a lot...
The paper presents a system that uses Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) software to monitor, and to control the state of an electrical machine depending on user imposed limits. In this system, the real-time variables of an electrical machine are measured and transferred to a controller (PC) through Data Acquisition Card (DAQ). The NI USB 6009 DAQ is selected for this project...
This paper describes an approach to address the challenges currently found in the management, provisioning, and troubleshooting of deployed SATCOM Terminals. We believe the proposed solution will address a major capabilities gap in the DOD's ability to maintain reliable and resilient network communications flows required for mission success in a dynamic net-centric battlefield. The proposed solution...
Threats within the network are a security risk with which you deal daily. Due to this, the use of more complex means of security than the Firewall should be considered to perform the analysis of the traffic behavior of the network by means of devices of next generation such as Systems of Detection and Prevention of Intrusions (IDPS). This article presents a comparison of commercial systems and open...
This work deals with modern trends in the design and development of monitoring and data acquisition systems for potentially explosive gases in underground sites, as well as implementing this kind of a system, with dedicated software, in mine openings made by Hidroconstructia Company in Buzau County.
This paper presents the use of a new concept: Internet of Things (IoT), applied to the fermentation process of Cocoa at the Piura's mountain range. A prototype was designed and built with sensors that record the variables of temperature, oxygen and carbon dioxide during the process and send this information to the Internet. Finally a system has been developed that receives this information, visualizes...
As saving the energy inside a house is an important issue to address, more home appliances are now implementing IoT technology. Here, we propose an IoT based smart home software application that are able to intelligently control the home appliances automatically based on our instruction set or behavior. The smart home uses the software to receive input from the user and forward the input to the server...
This paper develops a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system to monitor an islanded DC microgrid including wind turbine, photovoltaics, and battery units. The SCADA system is based on KingView 6.55, and establishes data communication between the host and the slave computers through intelligent modules and different communication techniques. The developed SCADA system can monitor real-time...
