The fuzzy rule sets, which have been derived from the hybrid neural network model, called the O-EGART-PR-FIS, is an integration of the Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) into Generalized Regression Neural Network (GRNN), display substantial redundancy and low interpretability that leads to time-consuming prediction process. The O-EGART-PR-FIS approach can achieve the highest accuracy rate among all, however the extracted rules are less compact. Hence, in this paper, we propose a genetic algorithm based method with the inclusion of the “Don't Care” antecedent (hereafter denoted as DC-GA) to the foundation of the O-EGART-PR-FIS, with the aim of further optimizing the existing fuzzy rules. The improved model is applied to two benchmark problems, and the rules extracted are analyzed, discussed and compared with other published methods. From the comparison results, it is observed that the improved model is attested to be statistically superior to other ANN models. Therefore, it reveals the efficacy of DC-GA in eliciting a set of compact and yet easily comprehensible rules while sustaining a high classification performance.

This paper presents an autonomous battery-less temperature measurement system powered on-demand by human action. The conversion between the human action and electrical energy is provided by an hand-held electromagnetic (EM) converter intentionally activated by the user. The AC voltage generated by the EM converter has time-varying amplitude and frequency and is rectified by a voltage doubler active rectifier circuit. The energy harvested is stored into multiple capacitors by the innovative Sequential Charging of Storage Capacitors (SCSC) technique. With a force of about 29.4 N over 2 cm applied to the EM converter, the power management circuit is able to extract an energy of 27.5 mJ and power the noncontact temperature measurement system for about 17 s.

This paper proposes a method for fault detection and replacement of the sensor responsible by the measurement of the burning zone temperature in a rotary cement kiln. The control of the burning zone temperature is crucial for the control of kiln temperature and therefore for the control of the cement quality, pollutant emissions, and consumed energy. However the flying dust within the kiln can block the pyrometer sensor, causing faults in the temperature sensor. Exploring the analytical redundancy that usually exist in industrial processes, the proposed methodology uses a neural network trained using an online sequential extreme learning machine to online construct a model to estimate the burning zone temperature. Using the error between the measured and estimated temperatures, faults in the measurement can be detected and thus the replacement of the measured temperatures by the estimated output is made.

In this work the Network Localization Problem with noisy measurements and mobility is considered. In particular, we first focus on the discovery of the localizable subnetwork by introducing an iterative approach to detect and merge small localizable components. Furthermore, we propose a novel check to mitigate the risk of flips ambiguities in order to enlarge the aforementioned subnetwork. Successively, we introduce the concept of critical node, and adopt an iterative localization scheme to retrieve information about the relevance of a node. This allows us to investigate how the accuracy of the localization process can be improved by the aid of mobility, i.e., critical nodes which are relevant for the localization of the network can be localized by means of mobile nodes. Simulations are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

In this paper, we propose a logic-based Benders decomposition (LBBD), as well as an LBBD/gossip method to solve the heterogeneous multi-vehicle routing problem (HMVRP). HMVRP is a newly formalized extension of the NP-hard multi-traveling salesman problem (mTSP). First, a hybrid algorithm based on LBBD is formulated that decomposes the HMVRP into an assignment problem and a cluster of sequencing problems. The former is solved by a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) solver, and the latter by a dedicated TSP solver. Then, a gossip algorithm is constructed which utilizes the mentioned LBBD for local optimization to achieve better computational efficiency. The use of LBBD remarkably reduces the CPU time. Furthurmore, integrating the three layers of gossip algorithm, LBBD and the TSP solver, results in a very efficient solution method.

A concept of a flow sensor optimized for the use in HVAC (Heating Ventilating Air Conditioning) systems is presented. The fabrication of the transducer is based on PCB (Printed Circuit Board) technology to keep costs low and allow for easy handling and replacement. The complete sensor device consists of a quantizer, a conversion circuitry, and a network link. Through interaction with the streaming fluid, the transducer generates an electrically measurable signal which allows determination of the total flow of the fluid. The measurement principle is based on a modification of the calorimetric principle. Hence, miniaturized heat sources and nearby temperature detectors have to be implemented. The behavior and performance of the sensor concept has been studied by means of finite element simulations. The quasistatic and transient simulations reveal the temperature allocation inside the sensor and the surrounding fluid and therefore allow a further optimization of the sensor for different applications.

In this paper, we provide the requirements and analysis for the selection of adequate communication infrastructure in managing Remote Monitoring and Diagnostics (RMD) applications in Open Pit Mine (OPM) environments. We have surveyed several different real world mine environments in order to obtain common physical characteristics of the mine. We discuss the significance of evaluating the physical, structural and operational challenges of an Open Pit Mine environment before selecting any suitable communication architecture. Based on the evaluation of the mine environment along with the Remote Monitoring and Diagnostics application service requirements, we recommend feasible wireless infrastructure solutions that can handle day-to-day challenges with improved efficiency. Finally, considering the inevitable expansion of mine territory, we provide recommendations for future Remote Monitoring and Diagnostics mine automation systems as well.

Production facilities are systems under constant evolution due to frequent changes of requirements and unforeseen incidents. Complex interrelations within the facility's physics and the control software may cause unintentional changes in its behavior after performing modifications. In order to detect such effects, we present, based on a detailed literature review, definitions of nonfunctional requirements on production facilities. The definitions are operationalized, when necessary, to allow an automatic examination of the fulfillment of requirements. This can be done by using dynamic information available in typical automation systems of production facilities. We show which information can be used for an automatic examination and which evolution scenarios affect the defined requirements.

To meet the flexibility demands introduced by modern markets, process plants have to become more flexible themselves. To tackle this issue and to ease vertical integration of IT-systems in enterprises a service-oriented approach is promising. Despite the developments concerning service-oriented architectures there is no standardized interface for service systems in process control systems. Therefore, in this paper we lay a basis for service systems in process control. We propose a message format and a way to describe services. We show which actions of a service interaction sequence have to be done in the engineering phase and which can be done at runtime. This is needed to meet non-functional requirements of control applications. The overall aim of the service system is to enhance flexibility without creating new dependencies.
