[more ▼] Cyber-physical systems embed software into the physical world. They appear in a wide range of applications such as smart grids, robotics, and intelligent manufacturing. Cyber-physical systems have proved resistant to modeling due to their intrinsic complexity arising from the combination of physical and cyber components and the interaction between them. This study proposes a general framework for discovering cyber-physical systems directly from data. The framework involves the identification of physical systems as well as the inference of transition logics. It has been applied successfully to a number of real-world examples. The novel framework seeks to understand the underlying mechanism of cyber-physical systems as well as make predictions concerning their state trajectories based on the discovered models. Such information has been proven essential for the assessment of the performance of cyber- physical systems; it can potentially help debug in the implementation procedure and guide the redesign to achieve the required performance.

[more ▼] An increasing number of institutions, acting at different scales and within different sectors, create in-house geographical information systems, e.g. for regional statistics, for land and transport management, for local urban planning, etc. In addition, with the advent of new technologies, such as GPS's or web-mapping facilities, the use of such geographical data is being more and more popular and data is made more easily accessible (sometimes even contributed by the end-users). Geographers find themselves in rather data rich environments today (irrespective of homogeneity and quality). Also geographical objects require specific visualization and statistical methods. The application and adaptation of data mining approaches in geographical contexts is an increasingly important research topic. In this lecture we will start from theoretical considerations on data mining in geography, particularly emphasizing what is special with exploratory spatial data analysis. We will then refer to ongoing research related to geographical data mining undertaken at the University of Luxembourg in collaboration with colleagues from other institutions. A first example will refer to a large and homogeneous dataset of all dwellings within a Belgian province. Using graph theory and local spatial statistics, the data is used to identify and categorize urbanisation patterns across scales in an iterative way. A second example will depict an application of 'self-organizing maps' to understand patterns of 'territorial cohesion' in Europe using a rather small and lacunary dataset. The third example will be dedicated to a text-mining application to a rather large corpus of documents related to spatial development in Europe. This work funded under the ESPON (European Spatial Observatory Network) aims at producing a relevant thematic structure to the online regional statistics database of the ESPON network.

[more ▼] Predicting failure in aircraft structures – simulating fracture across scales and times You could fly every day of your life in a commercial aircraft for twenty thousand years without suffering a fatal accident. This extraordinary level of safety is the product of decades of engineering and materials science research. Simultaneously, engineers have strived to produce lighter and stronger aircraft, with increased range and metals have thus been gradually replaced by lighter advanced composite materials which take up more than half of the structural weight of today's most advanced aircraft. Such progress has been largely enabled by modeling and simulation of materials and structures, which have revolutionized design by enabling engineers to investigate virtually various design strategies. This presentation will focus on the challenges which have been posed, are posed, and will be posed to such modeling and simulation tools in the strive to predict the durability of lighter, stronger, longer-ranging and more reliable aircraft.

[more ▼] Battery Electric Vehicles have high potentials for the modern transportations, however, they are facing limited cruising range. To address this limitation, we present a semi-autonomous ecological driver assistance system to regulate the velocity with energy-efficient techniques. The main contribution of this paper is the design of a real-time nonlinear receding horizon optimal controller to plan the online cost-effective cruising velocity. Instead of conventional L2-norms, a deadzone-quadratic penalty function for the nonlinear model predictive controller is proposed. Obtained field experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for a semi-autonomous electric vehicle in terms of real-time energy-efficient velocity regulation and constraints satisfaction.

[more ▼] This paper aims at identifying factors which influence the number of ideas generated during a brainstorming meeting as part of an industrial mechanical engineering design project. A framework for describing groups of influencing factors and their relationships is used. As a result of an explorative, comparative protocol analysis of two design meetings the influence of some factors is described e.g. the formulation of the design task description and the sequence of the process steps.

[more ▼] This study considers the discrete-time dynamics of a network of agents that exchange information according to the nearest-neighbour protocol under which all agents are guaranteed to reach consensus asymptotically. We present a fully decentralised algorithm that allows any agent to compute the consensus value of the whole network in finite time using only the minimal number of successive values of its own history. We show that this minimal number of steps is related to a Jordan block decomposition of the network dynamics and present an algorithm to obtain the minimal number of steps in question by checking a rank condition on a Hankel matrix of the local observations. Furthermore, we prove that the minimal number of steps is related to other algebraic and graph theoretical notions that can be directly computed from the Laplacian matrix of the graph and from the underlying graph topology.

[more ▼] This paper considers a group of agents that aim to reach an agreement on individually measured time-varying signals by local communication. In contrast to static network averaging problem, the consensus we mean in this paper is reached in a dynamic sense. A discrete-time dynamic average consensus protocol can be designed to allow all the agents tracking the average of their reference inputs asymptotically. We propose a minimal-time dynamic consensus algorithm, which only utilises minimal number of local observations of randomly picked node in a network to compute the final consensus signal. Our results illustrate that with memory and computational ability, the running time of distributed averaging algorithms can be indeed improved dramatically using local information as suggested by Olshevsky and Tsitsiklis.

[more ▼] In this study, we consider an unknown discrete-time, linear time-invariant, autonomous system and characterise, the minimal number of discrete-time steps necessary to compute the asymptotic final value of a state. The results presented in this paper have a direct link with the celebrated final value theorem. We apply these results to the design of an algorithm for minimal-time distributed consensus and illustrate the results on an example. [less ▲] Detailed reference viewed: 62 (0 UL) |
