Rigidity theory enables us to specify the conditions of unique localizability in the cooperative localization problem of wireless sensor networks. This paper presents a combinatorial rigidity approach to measure (i) generic rigidity and (ii) generalized redundant rigidity properties of graph structures through graph invariants for the localization problem in wireless sensor networks. We define ...

The authors argue for a generalisation of inference f rom the standard account in terms of truth preservation to one which coun tenances p r e s e r v a t i o n o f o the r desirable metalinguistic properties. The development is partly historical and partly a n a l y t i c . A r e l a t i o n a l a c c o u n t o f preservation is then presented and from this the two notions of inferential struc...

Previous research demonstrated that inferential sensors-based control technology can significantly improve the energy efficiency of space heating systems. However, the performance strongly relies on the accuracy and robustness of the dynamic model upon which the inferential model is built. Traditional methods, such as simplified physical model, adaptive neurofuzzy inferential sensor(ANFIS-) bas...
