A major challenge for the European electronic industry is to enhance productivity while reducing costs and ensuring quality in development, integration and maintenance. Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) principles and techniques have already shown promising capabilities but still need to scale to support real-world scenarios implied by the full deployment and use of complex electronic components and...
The impacts of cyber-fault resolution techniques on the dynamics of feedback control systems are explored, using simple case studies. Specifically, for a three-state DC motor model, simple control schemes implemented using embedded microcontrollers are modeled as being subject to freeze faults, which are resolved using watchdog-timer technologies. Simulations are undertaken to characterize the impacts...
Due to economies of scale and advancement in silicon technologies, powerful computing platforms are ushering a new era in computing and connectivity. These platforms are sometimes categorized under the umbrella of Internet of Things (IoT). In this paper, one such platform is used to design and build an Internet of Things solar tracker. The solar tracker predicts the sun position for maximum power...
Many games use dynamic difficulty adjustment (DDA) to promote the achievement of flow and consequent positive affective states. However, performance based DDA assume a specific ludic attitude: that of the hard-core gamer. An alternative approach is to apply affective computing techniques to monitor players adjust difficulty to achieve the desired affective state directly. Such an emotion-controlled...
With the rapid development of society and remarkable improvement of the power distribution automation of our country, users put forward higher requirements to power quality and reliability of power supply. According to the distribution network structure and operation mode, combining large-scale blackouts of Hangzhou distribution grid, this paper did a depth study on rapid restoration technology, under...
This paper presents ionospheric scintillation data recorded at SANAE in Antarctica during a moderate geomagnetic storm on 20–21 January 2016 which gives evidence of the advantages of the new generation of instrumentation for monitoring ionospheric scintillation. The data was collected as part of the DemoGRAPE project aimed at the demonstration of cutting edge technology for the empirical assessment...
The Public Street Lighting System is a street lighting system at night or when the environment is dark. Control and monitoring system is one of the critical sides in the implementation of Public Street Lighting as a whole. So far, the Public Street Lighting treatment system is done manually, that causes many problems to the whole system. These problems resulted in very high maintenance costs and usability...
Vacuum technology is a very widespread area. Nowadays, a broad variety of applications can be found to be using vacuum and vacuum related monitoring. Vacuum profile for different applications can be different, but whatever that may be, monitoring it is an essential part of any such application. Thus, this paper describes the development of one such vacuum profile monitoring system that can be re-purposed...
First of all, this paper briefly introduces the current management and use of telemetry data, remote control information, satellite test environment data, space environment data after orbit and so on, which most are produced by satellite test and on-orbit management. Then the software platform for application of the satellite data accessing and monitoring based on the distributed large data management...
Background: Mobile Personal Health Records (mPHRs) are mobile applications that allow organizing and saving the patients' health data in order to ease their management and access for both patients and doctors. Objective: This study aims to evaluate, based on ISO/IEC 25010 quality standard, the software quality of mPHRs for pregnancy monitoring. Method: An External quality evaluation was carried out...
Byzantine attacks are constant threats in many applications such as disaster management, and battlefield applications. In this paper, we introduce a monitoring scheme in the link state routing protocol to secure the packets' route against Byzantine attacks. The goal of our proposed scheme is to guarantee communication among connected benign nodes in the network. Specifically, each node monitors the...
The ever growing demands of software solutions have led to the development of Large-Scale Distributed Systems, which bring together a wide pool of services and resources. Their composition and deployment come in different solutions tailored to users' requests based on business models, functionality, quality of service and costs. Bridging different parts into one software solution is brittle due to...
In recent years, the research about energy waste and CO2 emission reduction has gained a strong momentum, also pushed by European and national funding initiatives. The main purpose of this large effort is to reduce the effects of greenhouse emission, climate change to head for a sustainable society. In this scenario, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) play a key role. From one side,...
We live in the post-informational era. Nowadays technologies transform many segments of human life. The Internet of things is becoming one of the most important information technologies that can change and has already changed the lives of people around the world. Under the Internet of Things (IoT) is understood the concept of a computer network that unites the most diverse devices, between which interaction...
High quality requirements are set for automated production systems (aPS) as malfunctions can harm humans or cause severe financial loss. These malfunctions can be caused by faults in the control software of the aPS or its inability to correctly identify and handle unintended situations and errors in the technical process or hardware behavior. To achieve more dependable control software, software testing...
the river discharge measurement is one of the basic projects of hygrometry; it determines the water resource utilization. However, a substantial increase in the number of hydrological site, especially for the unmanned hydrometric station brought great difficulty and caused the more workload for the Hydrologists every year. With the development of sensor technology and the data acquisition and fusion...
There are many software-based tools that can be used to evaluate the radio-ecological impacts. Plume Gaussian is a simple dispersion model, easy to be implemented and developed further. This paper describes the application of Plume Gaussian model to simulate the dispersion of I-131 released around the Serpong Nuclear Area (Kawasan Nuklir Serpong, KNS). The software development consists: mathematical...
Due to the high cost and high power consumption problem of the present smart home server, we designed and implemented a home server based on embedded system, mainly developed by ARM11 for a hardware platform, Linux system for operating system, SQLite database and BOA server for a software platform. The home server has successfully implemented the network communication, SQLite database peration and...
To address issues such as increasing number of broadcasting satellite transponders, signal systems becoming increasingly complex and higher requirements on spectrum monitoring in respect of real-time and all-weather coverage are required, this paper introduces a spectrum monitoring equipment based on a high-performance ARM microprocessor platform, as well as the design and implementation of a new...
The proposed system is a self-balancing system based on STM32F103 using Cortex-M3 core. Firstly, MPU6050 and hall encoder are utilized to measure angle and speed respectively. These sensors can meet the requirement of real time. Then, digital filtering algorithm and kalman algorithm are adopted to process the digital singal. Finally, the stepping motor is used to drive the whole system. The experimental...
