eLoran is considered as the most promising backup for Global Navigation Satellite System in maritime applications. A proposal study to establish eLoran navigation system for Egyptian maritime harbors is presented to act as an international and national backup to GPS for marine navigation, and other applications using MATLAB. The required levels of Integrity as a requirement of the International Maritime Organization had been verified over all the Egyptian harbors.

The unknown system error is widespread, but it is difficult to be verified or corrected. Furthermore, it also will yield to relatively large filtering errors. As an effective solution, the incremental equation is introduced, which can eliminate these unknown system errors. Meanwhile, the accuracy of state estimators will be improved. Then, a kind of distributed fusion incremental Kalman filter is presented in this paper. It can greatly improve the accuracy of state estimation for the multisensor systems under poor observation condition. The proposed algorithm is easy to be applied in engineering practice because of its simple form and small computational burden so. The simulation results show that it is effective and feasible.

Theoretically, chaotic systems or chaotic maps have ideal complex dynamics. However, due to the finite precisions of the simulation software and digital devices, dynamic degradation and short period phenomenon will occur which is known as the finite precision effect. Thus, the short period phenomenon severely affects the performances of chaotic system in its application of secure communication and multimedia encryption etc. In this paper, the hash table is used to fast position the period of chaotic sequence, then calculate and analyze the relationships between computational precision and period length of digital chaotic systems. The experimental results show that the finite precision has a great influence on the periods of chaotic systems. The proposed method provides a quantitative analysis for the finite precision effect of the chaotic systems, which can aid designing the mechanisms to counteract the dynamic degradations and enhance the security performance.

The evolution of the design of complex systems leads to increasing complexity and requires the joint analysis and refinement of different views of the same system which generally consist of: (1) A functional view that describes the main features of the system; (2) An implementation view that allocates functions on system constituents; (3) A non-functional view ensuring that properties such as quality of services, real-time constraints… are satisfied by the system; (4) As well as a dysfunctional view that defines the reliability requirements. Despite the complexity of systems, the consistency of views when exploring the solution space must be ensured. For example: (1) A decision on the required availability may induce new functions or involve redundancy of function/constituent; (2) Another difficulty comes from the fact that the functions are being described using different formalisms, therefore the system engineer must always be able to handle all the following aspects: the availability or reliability models that are mainly based on probabilistic models, the functional view that can be expressed using finite state machines or by event models; the quality of the services that can be expressed either by using a probabilistic approach or an approach based on a bounded set… The work described in this paper focuses on the implementation of a unified industrial modeling process using the graphical language of Hi-Graphs, a specific class of hyper graphs, in support to SysML. This process brings in addition functional views, taking into account, at all stages of the life cycle, non-functional and dysfunctional views of the system in order to make the right choices / compromises in terms of both software engineering and formal verification. It provides end-to-end assurance that the system meets the requirements and contracts associated with service quality during the process of exploring and refining the solution among the different views of the system. It also offers multiple semantics so that existing modeling languages and tools are taken into account.

this paper focuses on deriving the equations of motion of generic mathematical model in six degrees of freedom for autonomous underwater vehicles. For precise modeling, we used the hydrodynamic coefficients and derivatives of NPS AUV-II benchmark. The derived nonlinear model is simulated using LabVIEW software package. This makes the simulation process more realistic and easy for implementation with compatible embedded system boards. Moreover, it provides more accurate results which; verifies the model through an animated graphical user interface. This interface facilitates the simulation testing and evaluation process. The open loop simulation was acceptable, responsive and paved the way for using different control techniques for the autonomous underwater vehicle.

The considered problem of finding drilling machine route is a modified version of TSP. The modification consists in necessity of cyclic drill change which requires returning to starting point after performing a certain number of bores - depending on physical parameters of the particular process. In order to find the best route AI approaches have been applied. In the paper the properties of the implemented algorithms based on Simulated Annealing, Genetic ideas, Ant Colony Optimization have been studied. The Brute Force as reference algorithm as well as Simulated Bee Colony algorithm was implemented, either. The analysis of properties of algorithms was made by processing the results of two-stage simulation experiments. The experiments were carried out with the created and implemented experimentation system. The system also can be used by the practical users for solving their problems.

The paper presents the concept of renewable energy management system. The idea behind the system is to exploit the potential of renewable energy generation sources so as to provide additional energy services and participation in a competitive energy market. These actions can significantly affect the shortening of the period of return on investment of individual customer in renewable energy sources. The paper contains a concept of Electricity Consumption and Supply Management System (ECSM) with application of blockchain technology. ECSM provides functionality to monitor and record continuously information about inbound and outbound energy to/from power grid. Except monitoring inbound and outbound energy, solution will provide the possibility to manage in automatic and manual way when energy should be sent to energy grid. Information about inbound/outbound energy will be part of smart contract which will be confirmed and stored in every node.

To solve the problem of high energy consumption in traditional data-gathering protocols and to balance the network load, a spatiotemporal correlation-based clustering method for compressive data gathering (SCCM-CDG) is proposed. First, we present a mathematical model to measure the spatiotemporal correlation of neighborhood nodes. Second, a spatiotemporal correlation-based clustering method (SCCM) is proposed and then applied to the data-gathering protocol. Sensor nodes within a cluster send a small number of linear projections to cluster heads using compressive sensing theory, and then cluster heads send sample data along the shortest square distance spanning tree among cluster heads and the sink. Results of the simulation and experiment verify the accuracy of the SCCM algorithm, revealing that the SCCM-CDG algorithm can substantially reduce energy consumption, prolong network lifetime, and promote improvements in data recovery at the sink compared with existing compressive sensing-based data-gathering schemes.
