Over the past decade, the automotive industry has made many efforts to improve the comfort and first and foremost the safety of passenger cars. So-called driver assistance systems have been developed, which support the driver in his task of controlling (steering, breaking ...) a vehicle. Present-day assistance systems are entrusted with complex driving manoeuvres and are expected to operate cor...

The electrical energy distribution uses a huge network to cover the urbanized areas. The network distribution incorporates an important number of electrical cells that ensure the energy transformation. These cells play a fundamental role to ensure a permanent feeding. Thus, the performance of these cells must be optimized. The main problem that affects these cells is the inside humidity that sh...

The electricity grid is undergoing a radical transformation from a productiondriven to a demand-driven energy delivery platform known as the smart grid. The integration of a large amount of renewable and distributed energy resources, togetherwith newpatterns of electricity production, accentuates the need for research in information and communication technologies to control bi-directional energ...

∗ Corresponding author. Abstract Network performance degradation due to congestion is a major problem in the Internet. This performance degradation is mainly due to the uncoordinated interaction of congestion control mechanism of the TCP and that of the underlying network. Another challenging problem in the Internet is that TCP can’t achieve fair bandwidth allocation among competing TCP traffic...

Design is increasingly less about creating objects and more about creating scaffolds to support user experiences. What is observed about how people converse, behave and construct social networks has implications for how designers construct interactive experiences for and among social communities. So-called “intelligent rooms” are built spaces where sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) compu...

Permeability is the ability of porous rock to transmit fluids and one of the most important properties of reservoir rock because oil production depends on the permeability of reservoirs. Permeability is determined using a variety of methods which are usually expensive and time consuming. Reservoir rock properties with image analysis and intelligent systems has been used to reduce time and money...

The ability to discover services in Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a major prerequisite. Cluster basedcross layer intelligent service discovery for MANET (CBISD) is cluster based architecture, caching ofsemantic details of services and intelligent forwarding using network layer mechanisms. The cluster basedarchitecture using semantic knowledge provides scalability and accuracy. Also, the mini...

The aim of this paper is to test the hypothesis that software piracy rats are lower in more intelligent nations. Thus, we econometrically estimate the effect of national IQ on software piracy rates, using data for 102 nations for the year 2011. Our findings offer strong support for the assertion that intelligence is inversely related to the software piracy rates. After controlling for the poten...

Abstract: Problem statement:This paper presents an overview of a controller for a Rotational Inverted Pendulum (RIP) based on a New Recurrent Neural Network (NRNN) using Internal Model control (IMC). The RIP consists of a DC servo motor, arm and pendulum. The RIP is modelled in MATLAB/Simulink and the simulation results are shown besides the experimental results. The proposed experiment shows i...

Is there a distinction between New Interfaces for Musical Expression and New Interfaces for Controlling Sound? This article begins with a brief overview of expression in musical performance, and examines some of the characteristics of effective “expressive” computer music instruments. It becomes apparent that sophisticated musical expression requires not only a good control interface but also v...
