Step Response Enhancement of Hybrid Stepper Motors Using Soft Computing Techniques
Статья научная
This paper presents the use of different soft computing techniques for step response enhancement of Hybrid Stepper Motors. The basic differential equations of hybrid stepper motor are used to build up a model using MATLAB software package. The implementation of Fuzzy Logic (FL) and Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers are used to improve the motor performance. The numerical simulations by a PC-based controller show that the PID controller tuned by Genetic Algorithm (GA) produces better performance than that tuned by Fuzzy controller. They show that, the Fuzzy PID-like controller produces better performance than the other linear Fuzzy controllers. Finally, the comparison between PID controllers tuned by genetic algorithm and the Fuzzy PID-like controller shows that, the Fuzzy PID-like controller produces better performance.

Stimulate Engagement and Motivation in MOOCs Using an Ontologies Based Multi-Agents System
Статья научная
Today, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have the potential to enable free online education on an enormous scale. However, a concern often raised about MOOCs is the consistently high drop-out rate of MOOC learners. Although many thousands of learners enroll on these courses, a very small proportion actually complete the course. This work is at the heart of this issue. It is interested in contributing on multi-agents systems and ontologies to describe the learning preferences and adapt educational resources to learner profile in MOOCs platforms. The primary aim of this work is to exploit the potential of multi-agents systems and ontologies to improve learners' engagement and motivation in MOOCs platforms and therefore reduce the drop-out rates. As part of the contribution of this work, the paper proposes a model of Multi-Agent System (MAS), based on ontologies for adapting the learning resources proposed to a learner in a MOOCs platform according to his learning preferences. To model an adequate online course, the determination of learner's preferences is done through the analysis of learner behavior relying on his indicator MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator). The proposed model integrates the main functionalities of an intelligent tutoring system: profiling, updating of the profile, selection, adaptation and presentation of adequate resources. The architecture of the proposed system is composed on two main agents, four ontologies and a set of modules implemented.

Strategic Sensor Placement for Intrusion Detection in Network-Based IDS
Статья научная
Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDSs) can be composed of a potentially large number of sensors, which monitor the traffic flowing in the network. Deciding where sensors should be placed and what information they need in order to detect the desired attacks can be a demanding task for network administrators, one that should be made as automatic as possible. Some few works have been done on positioning sensors using attack graph analysis, formal logic-based approach and Network Simulator NS2 which were studied to determine a strategy for sensors placement on the network. This paper analysed the major considerations for sensors placements, typical sensors deployments in NIDS, and established an extended model for sensors deployment to further strengthen the network for intrusion detection which was based on the escape of some malicious activities through the firewall.

String Variant Alias Extraction Method using Ensemble Learner
Статья научная
String variant alias names are surnames which are string variant form of the primary name. Extracting string variant aliases are important in tasks such as information retrieval, information extraction, and name resolution etc. String variant alias extraction involves candidate alias name extraction and string variant alias validation. In this paper, string variant aliases are first extracted from the web and then using seven different string similarity metrics as features, candidate aliases are validated using ensemble classifier random forest. Experiments were conducted using string variant name-alias dataset containing name-alias data for 15 persons containing 30 name-alias pairs. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms other similar methods in terms of accuracy.

Structural Identification of Systems with Distributed Lag
Статья научная
The problem of structural identification of systems with the distributed lag in the conditions of uncertainty is considered. Known statistical approaches are laborious and not always allow making the decision on lag structure. Therefore in work for the problem decision the special class of static structures (SS) (virtual portraits) explored system is introduced. Process of the decision of a problem consists of two steps. At the first step set of secants for initial system is under construction. Completeness of set of secants is a sign of linearity of system. Nonfulfilment of conditions of completeness is a sign of nonlinearity of system. Estimation of nonlinearity of system execute on an indicator of level of nonlinearity of the system, offered in work. At the second step the special structural space is introduced and is defined SS for a nonlinear part of system. The estimation of nonlinear properties of system is executed on the basis of identification of parameters of set of secants SS. Criteria and algorithms of decision-making on structure of a lag on the basis of the analysis of virtual portraits are offered. The analogue of criterion of Durbin-Watson is offered. The received results are generalized on a case of the distributed lag in input and output variables of system. It is shown that to structural identification of systems with the distributed lag we will not apply the analysis of sector sets. The approach to parametrical identification of system with the distributed lag in the conditions of uncertainty is offered.

Structural transformations of incoming informational signal by a single nonlinear oscillatory neuron or an artificial nonlinear neural network are investigated. The neurons are modeled as threshold devices so that the artificial nonlinear neural network under consideration are systems of nonlinear van der Pol type oscillatory neurons. The neurons are coupled by synaptic weight coefficients to endow the systems with the configuration topology of a chain or a ring. It is shown that the morphology of the outgoing signal – with respect to the shape, amplitude and time dependence of the instantaneous frequency of the signal – at the output of such a neural network has a higher degree of stochasticity than the morphology of the signal at the output of a single neuron. We conclude that the process of coding by a single neuron or an entire chain-like or circular neural network may be considered in terms of frequency modulations, which are known in Physics as a way to transmit information. We conjecture that frequency modulations constitute one of the ways of coding of information by the neurons in these types of neural networks.

Structural-parametrical design method of adaptive observers for nonlinear systems
Статья научная
The structural-parametrical method for design of adaptive observers (AO) for nonlinear dynamic systems under uncertainty is proposed. The design of AO is consisting of two stages. The structural stage allowed identifying a class of nonlinearity and its structural parameters. The solution of this task is based on an estimation of the system structural identifiability (SI). The method and criteria of the system structural identifiability are proposed. Effect of an input on the SI is showed. We believe that the excitation constancy condition is satisfied for system variables. Requirements to the input at stages of structural and parametrical design of AO differ. The parametrical design stage AO uses the results obtained at the first stage of the adaptive observer construction. Two cases of the structural information application are considered. The main attention is focused on the case of the insufficient structural information. Adaptive algorithms for tuning of parameters AO are proposed. The uncertainty estimation procedure is proposed. Stability of the adaptive system is proved. Simulation results confirmed the performance of the proposed approach.

Study of Memory Effect in a Fuzzy EOQ Model with No Shortage
Статья научная
The feature of the fractional order derivative and fractional order integration is one of the important tools to realize the beauty of the fractional calculus. Fractional order derivative and integration has a long history like classical calculus but its users are much less compared to the classical calculus. The purpose of this paper is to study an inventory model with linear type demand rate under the fuzzy environment. This paper also wants to introduce the memory effect property of fractional order derivative which can help to setup the model more authentic. Two advantages have been included to the model (i) memory effect,(ii) fuzzy environment. Here, the fractional order model is defuzzyfied using (i) signed distance method,(ii) graded mean integration method. Fuzzification can close to the reality with incorporating uncertainty behavior of some economic parameters of the inventory system and fractional order can explain the memory phenomena. For this problem due to illustrate defuzzification, set up cost, holding cost per unit, per unit cost are assumed as triangular fuzzy numbers. Fractional order derivative and integration are applied to develop the whole work. It is known that fractional calculus is a valuable tool to describe memory phenomena. Fractional order is established as the index of the memory. In this paper, depending on strength of memory, memory phenomena considered in two steps(i) long memory,(ii) short memory. The proposed fuzzy models and technique lastly have been illustrated. Results of two defuzzyfications are compared with graphical presentations. This present studies can help to moderate the classical fuzzy inventory model. From the numerical studied it is observed that in long memory effect, profit is good compared to the low memory effect or memory less system.

Surveillance tests are performed periodically on standby systems of a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), as they improve the systems’ availability on demand. High availability of safety critical systems is very essential to NPP safety, hence, careful analysis is required to schedule the surveillance activities for such systems in a cost effective way without compromising the plant safety. This forms an optimization problem wherein, two different cases can be formulated for deciding the value of Surveillance Test Interval. In one case, cost is the objective function to be minimized while unavailability is constrained to be at a given level and in another case, unavailability is minimized for a given cost level. Here, optimization is done using Genetic Algorithm (GA) and real encoding has been employed as it caters well to the requirements of this problem. A detailed procedure for GA formulation is described in this paper. Two different crossover methods, arithmetical crossover and blend crossover are explored and compared in this study to arrive at the most suitable crossover method for such type of problems.

Study on Optimization of Phase Offset at Adjacent Intersections
Статья научная
Optimization of the phase offset at adjacent intersections is the key parameter regarding coordinated control of traffic signal for adjacent intersections, which decides the effect of the coordinated control for adjacent intersections. According to characters of saturated traffic flow of Chinese urban road, this thesis establishes a model for optimization of phase offset for adjacent interactions and finds a solution from such model by adopting genetic algorithm. The model is verified by actual traffic flow datum of two adjacent signal intersections on Changan Avenue. Then a comparison is made between the optimization result of such model and that of the existing mathematical method and SYNCHRO model, which indicates that the model established by this thesis can reduce the delay suffered by vehicles at the intersections and increase the traffic efficiency of the intersections.

The method is based on the principle that the high frequency component of transient traveling wave caused by bus external fault will be attenuated by the bus capacitance but the traveling wave caused by bus internal fault changes slightly. Simulation is carried out with the electromagnetic transient simulation software PSCAD/EMTDC, the result verifies the bus protection is reliable and accurate. The novel bus protection also can treat lightning failure or lightning disturbance happened on transmission lines as bus external fault, without malfunction.

Sugarcane crop yield forecasting model using supervised machine learning
Статья научная
Agriculture is the most important sector in the Indian economy and contributes 18% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). India is the second largest producer of sugarcane crop and produces about 20% of the world's sugarcane. In this paper, a novel approach to sugarcane yield forecasting in Karnataka(India) region using Long-Term-Time-Series (LTTS), Weather-and-soil attributes, Normalized Vegetation Index(NDVI) and Supervised machine learning(SML) algorithms have been proposed. Sugarcane Cultivation Life Cycle (SCLC) in Karnataka(India) region is about 12 months, with plantation beginning at three different seasons. Our approach divides yield forecasting into three stages, i)soil-and-weather attributes are predicted for the duration of SCLC, ii)NDVI is predicted using Support Vector Machine Regression (SVR) algorithm by considering soil-and-weather attributes as input, iii)sugarcane crop is predicted using SVR by considering NDVI as input. Our approach has been verified using historical dataset and results have shown that our approach has successfully modeled soil and weather attributes prediction as 24 steps LTTS with accuracy of 85.24% for Soil Temperature given by Lasso algorithm, 85.372% accuracy for Temperature given by Naive-Bayes algorithm, accuracy for Soil Moisture is 77.46% given by Naive-Bayes, NDVI prediction with accuracy of 89.97% given by SVR-RBF, crop prediction with accuracy of 83.49% given by SVR-RBF.

Статья научная
Super-resolution techniques allow combine multiple images of the same scene to obtain an image with increased geometric and radiometric resolution, called super-resolution image. In this image are enhanced features allowing to recover important details and information. The objective of this work is to develop efficient algorithm, robust and automated fusion image frames to obtain a super-resolution image. Image registration is a fundamental step in combining several images that make up the scene. Our research is based on the determination and extraction of characteristics defined by the SIFT and RANSAC algorithms for automatic image registration. We use images containing characters and perform recognition of these characters to validate and show the effectiveness of our proposed method. The distinction of this work is the way to get the matching and merging of images because it occurs dynamically between elements common images that are stored in a dynamic matrix.
