The TELEMAC project brings new methodologies from the Information and Science Technologies field to the world of water treatment. TELEMAC offers an advanced remote management system which adapts to most of the anaerobic wastewater treatment plants that do not benefit from a local expert in wastewater treatment. The TELEMAC system takes advantage of new sensors to better monitor the process dyna...

Modern software is now expected to be used via sophist icated hig h Iy-i nte ract ive graph ic i nte rfaces. Unfortunately, the development of these interfaces requires much investment in both hardware and programming effort. In the paper, we describe TeleMac, a general-purpose, user interface "server" which runs on a MacintoshTM micro-computer but is remote-controlled via a simple RS-232 conne...

Environmental pollution control relies heavily on human expert judgment supported by historical data and scientific models. Telemonitoring by networks of arrays of heterogeneous sensors provides the opportunity for data mining models to be constructed from the historical data to supplement human expertise. This paper reports some progress made in the TELEMAC project by data mining. TELEMAC is c...

This deliverable reports the final work on the TELEMAC supervision system. The supervision system essentially comprises the fault detection and isolation and decision support functions of TELEMAC. Two strands of work are reported, on improving the decision making process through management of hybrid (continuous and discrete) information, and on data mining, particularly applied to data from the...

The paper describes the initial efforts in a project whose objective is to obtain a 40-year hindcast of wind, sea level and wave climatology for European waters. The 40-year global atmospheric re-analysis carried out by the National Centre for Environmental Prediction, Washington, USA (NCEP) and the National Centre for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado, USA (NCAR) will be used as forcing ...

Anaerobic digestion provides an effective way of disposing of organic material in wastewater. The EUfunded TELEMAC project aims at improving the reliability and efficiency of monitoring and control of this type of wastewater treatment plant. One of its special features is the idea of a telecontrol centre which monitors multiple, geographically distributed plants remotely, acts as a centre of ex...

In this paper, we show how with the grid middleware ObjectWeb ProActive, we have improved and adapted the deployment of a numerical Hydrodynamic Simulation application, the TELEMAC parallel System, for desktop grid. INTRODUCTION Two-dimensional mathematical models are increasingly used for the simulation of flood propagation in river plains. This type of model are now preferred to the former 1D...

A tidal bore is a surge of waters propagating upstream as the tidal flow turns to rising and the flood tide rushes into a funnel shaped river mouth with shallow waters. The present study focused on the unsteady turbulence induced by a breaking tidal bore through some physical modelling. The laboratory data were compared systematically with some field measurements conducted in the breaking bore ...
