In GNSS, longer integrations are required to obtain better signal-to-noise ratio during the signal synchronization process. However the presence of secondary codes on the top of primary codes puts a constraint on the coherent integration duration for pilot channels in a similar way to the effect of data bits in data-carrying channels. In this paper we explore the problem of coherent integration...

Integrating new functionalities into a software architecture is necessary when the application must evolve to cope with new context and user requirements. The architect has thus to manually modify the architecture description, which is often tedious and error prone. In this paper, we propose FIESTA, a generic framework for automatically integrating new functionalities into an architecture descr...

As a critical tool that facilitates control strategy design, performance analysis and overall systems integration, dynamical engine models play important roles in developing advanced powertrain and vehicle technologies. Methodologies for effective engine modeling and strategy calibration are in high demand to meet stringent performance specifications under time/cost constraints. Recently, we ex...

In this paper we propose a solution to integrate Immigration related Enterprise applications of various countries to communicate with each other. For this communication to take place we need to provide a rule based routing and mediation engine using Enterprise integration patterns. We have used an open source implementation of Enterprise integration patterns which provides a basic framework for...

Context: Chapter 5 of the Learning Design book describes the operational model of a learning design engine based on the concept of finite automata with output alphabet. We rely on this event concept to include pre-existing learning tools in flexibe and rich learning designs. Contribution: We sketch an approach for the integration of complex learning environments in learning designs. Interactive...

We exploit the spreadsheet metaphor to make deductive problem-solving methods available to the vast population of spreadsheet end users. In particular, we show how the function-based problem-solving capabilities of spreadsheets can be extended to include logical deductive methods in a way that is consistent with the existing spreadsheet “look and feel.” The foundation of our approach is the int...

This paper presents issues around the integration of a framework for the development of interactive exploratory activities (DANTE) and a rule engine and scripting environment (JESS). The paper initially presents these two systems and their use. We then discuss design decisions and implementation considerations providing an insight for researchers and developers who are considering the integrati...

The system presented in this paper uses Contextual Logic Programming as a computational hub for representing and reasoning over knowledge modeled by web ontologies, integrating the approach with similar mechanisms which we already developed. As a result of its Logic Programming heritage, the system may also recursively interrogate other ontologies or data repositories, providing a semantic inte...

Many model-based fault diagnosis approaches have been proposed so far and some of them have been put into industrial practices. But for modern complex processes, due to the variable nature of faults and model uncertainty, no single approach can diagnose all faults and meet different contradictory criteria. In this paper, the importance of integration of different fault diagnostic schemes in a c...
