This paper presents a model comprising Finite State Machines (FSMs) with embedded Genetic Programs (GPs) which co-evolve to perform the task of Automatic Target Detection (ATD). The fusion of a FSM and GPs allows for a control structure (main program), the FSM, and sub-programs, the GPs, to co-evolve in a symbiotic relationship. The GP outputs along with the FSM state transition levels are used...

In this paper, a robust algorithm for fault diagnosis of power system equipment based on a failure-sensitive matrix (FSM) is presented. The FSM is a dynamic matrix structure updated by multiple measurements (online) and test results (offline) on the systems. The algorithm uses many different artificial intelligence and expert system methods for adaptively detecting the location of faults, emerg...

In this paper, a robust algorithm for fault diagnosis of power system equipment based on a Failure-Sensitive Matrix (FSM) is presented. FSM is a dynamic matrix structure updated by multiple measurements (on-line) and test results (off-line) on the systems. The algorithm uses many different artificial intelligence (AI) and expert system (ES) methods for detecting the location of faults, emerging...

A financial comparison of a parallel sewer based (SB) system with activated sludge, and a fecal sludge management (FSM) system with onsite septic tanks, collection and transport (C&T) trucks, and drying beds was conducted. The annualized capital for the SB ($42.66 capita(-1) year(-1)) was ten times higher than the FSM ($4.05 capita(-1) year(-1)), the annual operating cost for the SB ($11.98 cap...

one of the serious problems of iran’s watersheds is soil erosion and can be considered as one of the main obstacles to achieve sustainable agricultural development and natural resources. in most countries of the world, because of absence of accurate data for the sediment erosion, deposition utilizing models to estimate erosion is inevitable. in order to apply effective management in natural res...

Functional size measurement (FSM) is an important component of a software project, as it provides information for estimating the effort required to develop the measured software. For planning purposes, FSM should be performed during the early stages of the project. Considering that a common use of business process models is to gather requirements from the early stages of the project, this raise...

In this paper, we propose a methodology to integrate the Property Specification Language (PSL) in the verification process of systems designed using Abstract States Machines (ASMs). We provide a complete embedding of PSL in the ASM language AsmL, which allows us to integrate PSL properties as part of the design. For the verification, we propose a technique based on the AsmL tool that translates...

Flux switching Motor (FSM) was invented in the $19^{th}$ century but started gaining importance after 2000. The simple structure and moderate cost of FSM, comparison with existing commutated Direct Current (DC) Permanent Magnet Brushl...
