This paper proposes to prosumers a NN based decision support application for selecting an optimal forecasting tool for energy produced from renewable sources. The exploration and the assessment of criteria used for choosing a forecasting tool are made in the neural network (NN) framework. Firstly, the criteria for selecting the best forecasting tool are addressed. Secondly, the identified criteria are integrated in an object oriented software application, built using Matlab-Guide User Interface. In order to underline the effects of the users' decision making, in the third part, the forecasting performances of feed forward neural networks (FF-NN) are tested and evaluated.

We describe the implementation and the evaluation of a hypervisor level, hardware-enforced security solution suitable for the latest embedded platforms. Our solution is based on thin layer bare-metal hypervisor, a memory introspection engine and is validated on Silvermont microarchitecture based Intel x86 processors, running Windows. The approach is well suited to enhance the security of many POS and industrial embedded devices. We also present various kinds of attacks our solution defends against, and several remaining limitations.

Because the gas monitoring domestic use is important issue for all involved actors, many researchers and designers have approached this field. After a detailed state-of-arts analysis, in this paper deep research has been devoted for information flow and communication link design. Two important criteria have been established for information linking between collective residences and a general monitoring system, then ultra-low power Wi-Fi, and Zigbee-based devices have been used for experiments. Then, because of many unpredicted risk situations, a fuzzy model of gas leak risk evaluation has been designed. The used core device was a microcontroller with major roles: fuzzy/defuzzy processes, packet data link operating and processing, and regulatory user interface. Timed communication events and sets of action rules have been tested on the implemented system.

The paper presents the design and realization of an optimization model for the jobshop planning and execution problem. The computational model is realized in using the IBM ILOG OPL application. The computation of optimized planning and scheduling is performed using the constraint programming technique. The model contains the input data (client orders and resource status), the objective function (makespan minimization) and the set of constraints related to the real execution of products and to the limitations of the production system. The proposed model, implemented in ILOG OPL, is integrated into a centralized Scheduling System which transfers the planning and scheduling results to the shop floor automation layer of the Manufacturing Execution System (MES).

It is known that the human brain reacts favorably to whatever it perceives as beautiful. It is also equally known that beauty is in fact an ideal symmetry in the objects, phenomena and natural processes of any kind. Using this insight, we have shown that patterns can be build to represent the human body in a concise, structural and geometrical form. In this paper we use the same insights to deduct the process of brain activation to mechanical stimuli of the skin receptors. This work is aimed to discuss the understanding of the pain transmission process in the body using tools from mathematics, i.e. fractional calculus.

This paper presents the development of an embedded system based on a programmable system-on-chip (PSoC), namely a temperature and humidity data logger. The main characteristics of the device consist in low power consumption, small dimensions and the possibility of easily reconfiguring the firmware. This later feature allows the use of a large number of probes in different combinations and in different scenarios. The recorded values are saved in an EPROM and can be retrieved by printing them on thermal paper or by copying them on an USB flash drive. The real-time clock, current measured values, the active alarms and the number of recordings in memory are displayed continuously on the attached LCD.

A method that uses the Boxer-Thaler integrator to obtain an approximate discrete-time transfer function for uncertain continuous systems with interval uncertainties is revisited. The advantage of the approach lies in the fact that the interval structure of the continuous system is preserved in the resulting discrete model. This allows the application of existing robust results to the discretized system and minimize the search space in the uncertainty region. The method is also applied to a control loop from a multi-sidestream distillation column.

This paper comes as a response to the fact that lately more and more accidents are caused by people who drive while intoxicated. Drunk drivers are not able to manage the wheel and make the most basic movements required when driving. This often puts their life and other traffic participants' lives in peril. The proposed system, four alcohol sensors based, can determine if and who has been drinking (the driver or one of the passengers) and it will signal visual and auditive warnings.

The paper presents the local voltage control of a power transformer as a function integrated in a numerical protection system. Because of this modern integration, the voltage control takes advantage of all the benefits that the numerical technology brings: flexibility, adaptive capability, access to data base interface, self monitoring abilities, logical and mathematical abilities etc. The main objective of the paper is to propose an adaptive functionality of the voltage control function, depending on the topology of the substation in which it is operating. For a certain topology a specific reference value of the voltage control function is set.
