Internet access can improve people’s life quality by helping them to reduce and overcome the poverty and educational gaps. However, most rural communities in the world, specially in underdeveloped countries, do not have access to the Internet. Delay/Disru... see more

This paper presents the fuzzy design of sliding mode control (SMC) for nonlinear systems with uncertainties, which can be represented by a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) model. There exist the parameter uncertainties in both state and input matrices, as well as the ... see more

The errors recovery in the production systems will be always an open issue. Therefore, the FMSs have to be endowed with tools and techniques allowing an automatic recovery of errors. The objective of this work consists in proposing an off-line version of ... see more

From the designer perspective, in real-time applications as mechatronic systems - the control algorithm has to be easy to understand and to implement, easy to optimize and last but not least, to ensure the best possible behavior for the controlled system.... see more

Traffic control based on contention resolution process (TCCR) is proposed in this study as a quality of service (QoS) mechanism to offer service level agreement (SLA) for optical burst switch (OBS). QoS of the high and the low priority classes are issued ... see more

In a previous paper it was proposed, and theoretically confirmed, that analysis of self-similar traffic flows with long-range dependence may be restricted to the network layer. In this paper this novel concept is applied to the study of traffic recorded i... see more

The aim of this paper is to introduce some special fuzzy norms on Kn and to obtain, in this way, fuzzy Euclidean normed spaces. In order to introduce this concept we have proved that the cartesian product of a finite family of fuzzy normed linear spaces i... see more

The Pacific Northwest Geodesic Array at Central Washington University collects telemetered streaming data from 450 GPS stations. These real-time data are used to monitor and mitigate natural hazards arising from earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides... see more

The analysis of medical streaming data is quite difficult when the problem is to estimate health-state situations in real time streaming data in accordance with the previously detected and estimated streaming data of various patients. This paper deals wit... see more

An approximate algorithm combining P systems and active evolutionary algorithms (AEAPS) to solve traveling salesman problems (TSPs) is proposed in this paper. The novel algorithm uses the same membrane structure, subalgorithms and transporting mechanisms ... see more
