RAED provides a computerised infrastructure to support the development and administration of Vicarious Learning in collaborative learning communities spread across multiple universities and workplaces. The system is based on the OASIS middleware for Role-based Access Control. This paper describes the origins of the model and the approach to implementation and outlines some of its benefits to co...

We study classical control problems like pole assignment, stabilization, linear quadratic control and H∞ control from a numerical analysis point of view. We present several examples that show the difficulties with classical approaches and suggest reformulations of the problems in a more general framework. We also discuss some new algorithmic approaches.

Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) businesses always facing a challenge in managing the material effectively and efficiently. The aim of this is to identify, analyse improve Efficiency Materials Management at company. There are two materials management problems: stock-out overstock, occur frequently OEM Data collection through observation interviews with top manager other staff involved oper...

In this Diabetes Information Technology & WebWatch column hurdles to the use of computerised decision-support tools in clinical diabetes care will be considered. The clinical background with respect to insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes mellitus and the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial is reviewed, and an overview is given of various computer applications. The use of decision-support t...

Throughout the ages people have been working in research institutes and industries in machine automation so as to have less involvement of operator in machine operations. In the development of automation controllers the trend has been to move towards soft controllers so as to provide better control, more flexibility and more reliability with intelligent diagnostics of machine faults. So industr...

Foreword Optimal control regards the optimization of dynamic systems. Thus, it bridges two large and active research communities of applied mathematics, each with their own journals and conferences. A scholar of numerical optimal control has to acquire basic numerical knowledge within both fields, i.e. numerical optimization on the one hand, and system theory and numerical simulation on the oth...
