传统基于典型变量分析的过程监控方法无法判断故障是否影响产 品质量.为此,本文提出一种基于动态输入输出典型变量分析(Dynamic input-output canonical variate analysis, DIOCVA)的过程监控方法.该方法利用典型变量分析提取数据之间的相关性,并进一步考虑方差信息和时序相关性, 将过程数据和质量数据映射到5个子空间:输入输出相关子空间,不相关输入主元子空间, 不相关输入残差子空间,不相关输出主元子空间和不相关输出残差 子空间.所提方法能够精细区分影响质量的过程故障和不影响质量的过程故障.以Tennessee Eastman过程为例对所提方法的有效性进行了验证.     

基于KPLS鲁棒重构误差的高炉燃料比监测与异常识别

作为钢铁冶金制造的核心工序, 高炉炼铁是典型的高能耗过程, 其运行能耗约占钢铁总能耗的50%以上, 其中, 80%的能耗是焦炭和煤粉等燃料消耗. 因此, 对表征高炉燃料消耗的燃料比参数进行监测, 并尽可能早地识别影响燃料比异常波动的关键因素, 对于高炉炼铁过程的节能降耗具有重要意义. 本文针对先验故障知识少的高炉燃料比监测与异常识别难题, 提出一种基于核偏最小二乘(Kernel partial least squares, KPLS)鲁棒重构误差的故障识别方法. 该方法首先建立过程变量与监测变量的KPLS监测模型, 然后根据非线性映射空间的协方差矩阵和核空间Gram矩阵之间的关系, 反向估计原始空间变量的正常估值. 为了增强算法的鲁棒性, 采用迭代去噪算法减少异常数据对原始空间正常估值的影响. 通过利用原始空间正常估值和真实值来构造故障识别指标, 并给出故障识别指标的控制限. 基于实际工业数据的高炉数据实验表明所提方法不仅可以监测出正常工况下影响燃料比异常变化的潜在因素, 还可识别出异常工况下影响燃料比异常变化的关键因素, 具有很好的工程应用前景.

利用类别信息和列表排序的跨模态检索

随着越来越多多模态数据的出现,跨模态检索引起了广泛的关注。跨模态检索面临一大挑战为模态鸿沟,为了解决数据的异构性问题,公共子空间学习的方法被提出。然而,大部分方法仅仅是单独考虑了样本之间的相关联信息或不相关信息,而没有同时考虑样本间的相关信息和不相关信息。除此之外,大部分方法对于样本之间相似度的比较,使用的是基于文档对的排序比较,其没有充分考虑样本之间的类内依赖性和类间样本的结构差异性。基于此,提出了一种同时而不是单独考虑样本间的类内关系和类间关系的基于列表排序的跨模态检索方法,其通过列表排序最大化锚点与正样本之间的相似性,同时最小化锚点和负样本间的相似性。实验结果验证了该算法在跨模态检索中的有效性。

基于动态高效潜结构投影的质量相关故障检测

高效潜结构投影(EPLS)算法是一种反映过程变量与质量变量相关关系的多变量统计分析方法,在质量相关故障检测中具有良好的检测效果.然而EPLS算法是一种静态检测模型,不能反映实际工业过程或装备测试中的动态特性,对动态过程中质量相关故障的检测率较低.为此,本文提出了一种基于自回归移动平均模型(ARMAX)的动态高效潜结构投影(D–EPLS)检测算法.该算法首先基于输入时滞值构建增广矩阵,反映工业以及装备测试过程中的动态特性;然后将增广矩阵分解为质量相关和质量无关空间分别进行故障检测;最后通过数值仿真和田纳西伊斯曼过程(TEP)验证算法有效性.实验结果表明所提算法能够更好的适应动态过程,并全面提高了质量相关故障的检测率.

一种新型非线性偏最小二乘方法研究及应用--基于Chebyshev多项式改进的PLS方法

在实际生产过程中，过程变量之间往往存在大量相关关系，甚至非线性相关关系。过程变量间存在线性相关时，可采用偏最小二乘方法(Partial Least Squares，PLS)计算模型参数，但由于PLS方法采用线性关系来联系输入和输出因子，因而并不能有效地应用于非线性较强的过程。在这种情况下要对变量进行有效的压缩维数．需要采用非线性PLS方法。基于Chebyshev多项式改进的多元多项式PLS方法，是一种新的非线性PLS方法。该方法利用Chebyshev多项式的正交性质和递推性质，将过程输入变量正交化、线性化后，再应用PLS方法计算模型参数并还原，从而得到比较精确的模型。由于该方法综合考虑了输入变量的自相关和输入变量间的协相关关系。能够更有效地表达过程变量间的非线性关系，因此其对非线性过程的研究提供了新的思路。     

Only connect: teaching, technology and telesis

Abstract This paper describes an approach to the design of interactive multimedia materials being developed in a European Community project. The developmental process is seen as a dialogue between technologists and teachers. This dialogue is often problematic because of the differences in training, experience and culture between them. Conditions needed for fruitful dialogue are described and the generic model for learning design used in the project is explained.     

European Community policy and the market

Abstract This paper starts with some reflections on the policy considerations and priorities which are shaping European Commission (EC) research programmes. Then it attempts to position the current projects which seek to capitalise on information and communications technologies for learning in relation to these priorities and the apparent realities of the marketplace. It concludes that while there are grounds to be optimistic about the contribution EC programmes can make to the efficiency and standard of education and training, they are still too technology driven.

Avoiding semantic and temporal gaps in developing software intensive systems

Development of software intensive systems (systems) in practice involves a series of self-contained phases for the lifecycle of a system. Semantic and temporal gaps, which occur among phases and among developer disciplines within and across phases, hinder the ongoing development of a system because of the interdependencies among phases and among disciplines. Such gaps are magnified among systems that are developed at different times by different development teams, which may limit reuse of artifacts of systems development and interoperability among the systems. This article discusses such gaps and a systems development process for avoiding them.     

Designing economic np control charts: A programmed simulation approach

This paper presents control charts models and the necessary simulation software for the location of economic values of the control parameters. The simulation program is written in FORTRAN, requires only 10K of main storage, and can run on most mini and micro computers. Two models are presented - one describes the process when it is operating at full capacity and the other when the process is operating under capacity. The models allow the product quality to deteriorate to a further level before an existing out-of-control state is detected, and they can also be used in situations where no prior knowledge exists of the out-of-control causes and the resulting proportion defectives.     

The development of robot art

Going through a few examples of robot artists who are recognized worldwide, we try to analyze the deepest meaning of what is called “robot art” and the related art field definition. We also try to highlight its well-marked borders, such as kinetic sculptures, kinetic art, cyber art, and cyberpunk. A brief excursion into the importance of the context, the message, and its semiotics is also provided, case by case, together with a few hints on the history of this discipline in the light of an artistic perspective. Therefore, the aim of this article is to try to summarize the main characteristics that might classify robot art as a unique and innovative discipline, and to track down some of the principles by which a robotic artifact can or cannot be considered an art piece in terms of social, cultural, and strictly artistic interest. This work was presented in part at the 13th International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January 31–February 2, 2008     

View-based model-driven architecture for enhancing maintainability of data access services

In modern service-oriented architectures, database access is done by a special type of services, the so-called data access services (DAS). Though, particularly in data-intensive applications, using and developing DAS are very common today, the link between the DAS and their implementation, e.g. a layer of data access objects (DAOs) encapsulating the database queries, still is not sufficiently elaborated, yet. As a result, as the number of DAS grows, finding the desired DAS for reuse and/or associated documentation can become an impossible task. In this paper we focus on bridging this gap between the DAS and their implementation by presenting a view-based, model-driven data access architecture (VMDA) managing models of the DAS, DAOs and database queries in a queryable manner. Our models support tailored views of different stakeholders and are scalable with all types of DAS implementations. In this paper we show that our view-based and model driven architecture approach can enhance software development productivity and maintainability by improving DAS documentation. Moreover, our VMDA opens a wide range of applications such as evaluating DAS usage for DAS performance optimization. Furthermore, we provide tool support and illustrate the applicability of our VMDA in a large-scale case study. Finally, we quantitatively prove that our approach performs with acceptable response times.     

Explanation and prediction: an architecture for default and abductive reasoning

Although there are many arguments that logic is an appropriate tool for artificial intelligence, there has been a perceived problem with the monotonicity of classical logic. This paper elaborates on the idea that reasoning should be viewed as theory formation where logic tells us the consequences of our assumptions. The two activities of predicting what is expected to be true and explaining observations are considered in a simple theory formation framework. Properties of each activity are discussed, along with a number of proposals as to what should be predicted or accepted as reasonable explanations. An architecture is proposed to combine explanation and prediction into one coherent framework. Algorithms used to implement the system as well as examples from a running implementation are given.     

A pragmatic multi-method investigation of discrepant technological events: Coping,attributions, and ‘accidental’ learning

Discrepant technological events or situations that entail a problem, a misunderstanding or a difficulty with the Information Technology (IT) being employed, are common in the workplace, and can lead to frustration and avoidance behaviors. Little is known, however, about how individuals cope with these events. This paper examines these events by using a multi-method pragmatic approach informed by coping theory. The results of two studies – a critical incident study and an experiment – serve to build and test, respectively, a theoretical model that posits that individuals use a variety of strategies when dealing with these events: they experience negative emotions, make external attributions, and adopt engagement coping strategies directed at solving the event, eventually switching to a disengagement coping strategy when they feel they have no control over the situation. Furthermore, users’ efforts may result in ‘accidental’ learning as they try to overcome the discrepant IT events through engagement coping. The paper ends with a discussion of the results in light of existing literature, future opportunities for research, and implications for practice.
