In this paper, a recurrent fuzzy-neural network (RFNN) controller with neural network identifier in direct control model is designed to control the speed and exhaust temperature of the gas turbine in a combined cycle power plant. Since the turbine operation in combined cycle unit is considered, speed and exhaust temperature of the gas turbine should be simultaneously controlled by fuel command ...

This paper describes the construction of a high-performance neural processor using fast Sum-And-Threshold logic and Correlation Matrix Memory binary neural network components. The addition of PCIbus and VMEbus interfaces is described. Typical driver support is discussed for the PCI implementation, focusing on a standard x86 PC running Microsoft WindowsNT4 operating system. Processing speed impr...

A distributed computing system consists of processing elements, communication links, memory units, data "les, and programs. These resources are interconnected via a communication network and controlled by a distributed operating system. The distributed program reliability in a distributed computing system is the probability that a program which runs on multiple processing elements and needs to ...

Nowadays, congestion management is one of the major tasks accomplished by system operators to warrant the operation of transmission system within operating limits. This has resulted in unanticipated congestion interfaces in regional transmission systems. The system is, however, unable to evolve at a rate which is required to meet the quickly changing demand of competitive markets. To make the m...

Wireless sensor network research community has constructed a number of operating systems that enable development of sensor network applications using novel and appropriate software abstractions. Unfortunately, the abstractions are not always easily usable by inexperienced users, because the learning curves of these existing operating systems are quite steep. In this article we present selected ...

One of the major challenges for day-of-surgery operating room coordination is accurate and timely situation awareness. Distributed and secure real-time status information is key to addressing these challenges. This article reports on the design and implementation of a passive status monitoring system in a 19-room surgical suite of a major academic medical center. Key design requirements conside...

We used FPGA for developing prototypes of novel sensor network system because of its short turn-around-time and flexibility. For FPGA-based sensor network system, we have to decrease the size of operating system because of small memory. Scalability is another important feature because if logic circuit in the FPGA is changed, the operating system also has to reflect this modification. In this pa...

The creation, deployment and management of network architecture is manual, ad hoc and slow to evolve to meet new service requirements resulting in costly and inflexible deployment cycles. In the Genesis Project ([email protected]), Columbia University, we envision a different paradigm where new network architectures are dynamically created and deployed in an automated fashion based on ...
