This river overflow control is carried out in stages and an integrated manner. The water level detected real time with four levels, namely normal, alert, standby, beware. of at each will flow automatically through three floodgates that work simultaneously, followed by turning on pumps which also simultaneously. flowing from the channeled into irrigation area, while pumped flowed a reservoir. ma...

Testing and assessing of vehicle control systems require realistic environment, which requires enormous workload; to some extend it is impractical to set up the realistic environment. A comprehensive traffic environment simulation model has been designed and implemented for supporting vehicle control system development. The model consists of tow sub models: the motorway traffic flow model and d...

Speaker-independent speech recognition systems are being used with increasing frequency for command and control applications. To date, users of such systems must contend with the fragility of recognition with subtle changes in language usage and environmental acoustics. We describe work on coupling speech recognition systems with temporal probabilistic user models that provide inferences about ...

This paper proposes a medium-access control (MAC) protocol for integrated voice/data services in local wireless communications. The proposed protocol is a hybrid of R-Aloha and Aloha reservation adapted to local wireless environment. In the proposed hybrid Aloha-reservation/R-Aloha (HAR) protocol, data messages are transmitted using Aloha-reservation protocol, whereas voice packets are transmit...

Some cultural heritage institutions have large and growing spoken word collections, the items of which often live in isolation from each other and from other parts of those collections. This paper describes the design process for construction and evaluation of a system to automatically construct links between spoken conversations that address different aspects of the same event. We see this as ...

Holonic manufacturing is a concept of considerable promise as it can provide the flexibility and responsiveness required by virtual enterprises. However, if this promise is to be realised, two key issues need to be addressed. First, migration strategies must be developed to enable existing manufacturing systems using conventional controller technology to progressively incorporate holonic manufa...

This study aims at integrating system identification for robust control with process control. We consider linear systems where the parameters normally vary slowly, but which may exhibit sudden and large changes. One example of such a system is an extruder where the parameters vary slowly e.g. due to temperature changes, and where the die sometimes is changed, leading to sudden and large changes...
