This paper discusses an intelligent and Internet-based Telecommunication System Specification Model (TSSM) using Computer Aided Systems Engineering tools (CASE tools). TSSM implements CASE tools to mechanize its lifecycle development maintenance and integration process. This model is developed to improve the system analysts (SA) efforts in their design and development of major software and hard...

We describe a prototype Web service for model reduction of very large-scale linear systems. Specifically, a userfriendly interface is designed so that model reduction can be easily performed via www on a cluster of 32 nodes. Access via the www isolates the user of the service from the complexities of installing and using the parallel model reduction codes and the maintenance of the hardware. In...

This paper presents an original software tool based on a model of expert system that has been developed to satisfy the requirements of fault diagnosis, repair and maintenance of electrical machines in industrial, educational or other applications. This software comprises an SQL server database and provides different user levels (simple user, power user and administrator). By the introduction of...

The problem of reliability of new object of distributed hardware software (DHS) multi-agent system (MAS) is considered. DHS MAS is determined as a system that is based on agent technologies and consists of both agents and hardware components required for execution of agents and for interaction of agents with an environment. Reliability improvement, fault-recovery and several reliability assessm...

In this paper, we present programming environments for developing real time autonomous agents on multi-processor systems based on a hardware independent description model. BeNet, our model is a network of functional modules that calculate elements of the internal representation of the agent in real time with their own frequencies. A system that interacts with a dynamical environment is describe...

A tsunami warning center must be able to process and analyze seismic and sea level data to detect the occurrence of a tsunami and forecast its impact (Figure 5-1). National Tsunami Warning Centers (NTWC) and Regional Tsunami Watch Providers (RTWP) require a variety of hardware, software, computer applications and programs, and communication capabilities to support and maintain tsunami detection...

Predicting the maintenance and management costs and replacement age of tractors in agricultural mechanized units, is important from several points. So, doing a timely agricultural operations, more accurate measure of the amount of income  including the cost of these items , determining the useful life of old tractors , replacement age, cost of the process changes and the possibility of examinin...

This work presents an application of the highly expressive Attribute-Based Encryption to implement wirelessdelimited Secure Zones for firearms. Within these zones, radiotransmitted local policies based on attributes of the consumer and the firearm are received by embedded hardware in the firearms, which then advises the consumer about safe operations. The Secure Zones utilize Attribute-Based En...

Interdisciplinary product development is faced with the collaboration of diverse roles and a multitude of interrelated artifacts. Traditional and sequential process models cannot deal with the long-lasting and dynamic behavior of the development processes of today. Moreover, development processes have to be tailored to the needs of the projects, which are usually distributed today. Thus, keepin...

In this contribution, “Interactive Digital Storytelling” is viewed as a hybrid form of game design and cinematic storytelling for the understanding and creation of future learning and entertainment applications. The result of several practical experiments in the design of interactive agents for storytelling, a formal design model is presented that provides a conceptual bridge between both tradi...
