Video on demand, teleconferencing, digital libraries, and remote tutoring systems are just a few of the many distributed multimedia applications that have emerged in recent years. Widespread use of such applications requires networks that can offer transport services to both discrete media (such as text and digital images) and continuous media (such as audio and video). The discussion explores some of the issues involved in the design of such networks 相似文献

Process analytical technologies and real time process control a review of some spectroscopic issues and challenges 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Process analytical technologies (PAT) are increasingly being explored and adopted by pharmaceutical and industrial biotechnology companies for enhanced process understanding, Quality by Design (QbD) and Real Time Release (RTR). To achieve these aspirations there is a critical need to extract the most information, and hence understanding, from complex and often ‘messy’ spectroscopic data. This contribution reviews a number of new approaches that have been shown to overcome the limitations of existing calibration/modelling methodologies and describes a practical system which would enhance robustness of the closed loop process control system and overall ‘control strategy’. Application studies are described of the use of on-line spectroscopy for the monitoring and control of a downstream solvent recovery column, batch cooling crystallization and pharmaceutical fermentation. 相似文献

In this article we explore some of the issues currently facing researchers in the interface between the twin fields of Artificial
Life and Robotics, and the challenges and potential synergy of these two areas in the creation of future robotic life forms.
There are three strands of research which we feel will be of key importance in the possible development of future embodied
artificial life forms. These are the areas of evolutionary robotics and evolutionary humanoid robotics in particular, probabilistic
robotics for deliberation, and robot benchmarking with associated metrics and standards. We briefly explore each of these
areas in turn, focusing on our current research in each field and what we see as the potential issues and challenges for the
future.

Scalable,parallel computers: Alternatives,issues, and challenges 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Gordon Bell 《International journal of parallel programming》1994,22(1):3-46
The 1990s will be the era of scalable computers. By giving up uniform memory access, computers can be built that scale over
a range of several thousand. These provide highpeak announced performance (PAP), by using powerful, distributed CMOS microprocessor-primary memory pairs interconnected by a high performance switch
(network). The parameters that determine these structures and their utility include: whether hardware (a multiprocessor) or
software (a multicomputer) is used to maintain a distributed, or shared virtual memory (DSM) environemnt; the power of computing
nodes (these improve at 60% per year); the size and scalability of the switch; distributability (the ability to connect to
geographically dispersed computers including workstations); and all forms of software to exploit their inherent parallelism.
To a great extent, viability is determined by a computer's generality—the ability to efficiently handle a range of work that
requires varying processing (from serial to fully parallel), memory, and I/O resources. A taxonomy and evolutionary time line
outlines the next decade of computer evolution, included distributed workstations, based on scalability and parallelism. Workstations
can be the best scalables. 相似文献

With today’s global digital environment, the Internet is readily accessible anytime from everywhere, so does the digital image
manipulation software; thus, digital data is easy to be tampered without notice. Under this circumstance, integrity verification
has become an important issue in the digital world. The aim of this paper is to present an in-depth review and analysis on
the methods of detecting image tampering. We introduce the notion of content-based image authentication and the features required
to design an effective authentication scheme. We review major algorithms and frequently used security mechanisms found in
the open literature. We also analyze and discuss the performance trade-offs and related security issues among existing technologies. 相似文献

This paper presents an introductory overview of the main issues that the digitalisation of industrial enterprises known as Industry 4.0 raises for social sciences. First, it will show that this technological transition—which, however, is unfinished and is seen to be in continuity with the so-called “third industrial revolution”—cannot be interpreted with reference to a deterministic approach. It can be analysed more usefully as a range of decisions affecting the industrial policies of national states, the conception and design of machines, their adoption in production processes and finally their use by operators. Second, certain aspects of Industry 4.0 of special concern in terms of organisation of work processes will be analysed on various scales (from inter-company transactions to the specific tasks of individual workers). Finally, we will explain various hypotheses that social and economic research is developing with regard to the new technologies’ controversial effects on employment. 相似文献

Over several decades, control theory has developed its own set of more or less formal modelling techniques designed to automatically control the dynamic behaviour of complicated manufacturing systems and processes. The emerging Internet society is addressing new enterprise control and management integration (ECMI) challenges for agile business to manufacturing (B2M) purposes which enlarge the traditional setting of Automation Engineering to the systems engineering (SE) approach. In order to cope with the increasing complexity of integrating intelligence/information-intensive manufacturing automation within the networked manufacturing enterprise, Automation Engineering should be integrated into the systems engineering approach to achieve a holistic approach that treats in fine the technical operational manufacturing system emerging from the deployment of an ad hoc combination of formal and informal partial models. This paper emphasises that a Holonic Manufacturing Execution System Engineering (HMESE) approach should be a relevant B2M SE approach along with other relevant scientific, industrial and educational areas dealing with information and intelligence control and management issues in agile automation. 相似文献

Design issues in adaptive control 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Middleton R.H. Goodwin G.C. Hill D.J. Mayne D.Q. 《Automatic Control, IEEE Transactions on》1988,33(1):50-58
An integrated approach to the design of practical adaptive control algorithms is presented. Many existing ideas are brought together, and the effect of various design parameters available to a user is explored. The theory is extended by showing how the problem of stabilizability of the estimated model can be overcome by running parallel estimators. It is shown how asymptotic tracking of deterministic set points can be achieved in the presence of unmodeled dynamics 相似文献

This paper explores the characteristics of the quality control function with a focus on ergonomics design to the production system. The objective is to provide a set of design attributes to aid in the work environment which enhances the quality control function. It is important to recognize the operator as being an important part of the man/machine interface. According to Biberman, “The human part of the system deserves special attention: As a critical part of any man/machine system, the human operator receives information, processes it, and takes some specific action upon the system” (1973, p. 92). The thought of quality usually forms a mental picture consisting of uniformity, the conformity to an established standard, or a degree of consistence in production. Another definition is the totality of features and characteristics of a product or service that bear on its abilities to satisfy a given need (Stevens 1981). 相似文献

An overview is given of some current research activities on the design of high-performance controllers for plants with uncertain dynamics, based on approximate identification and model-based control design. In dealing with the interplay between system identification and robust control design, some recently developed iterative schemes are reviewed and special attention is given to aspects of approximate identification under closed-loop experimental conditions. 相似文献

Business processes leave trails in a variety of data sources (e.g., audit trails, databases, and transaction logs). Hence, every process instance can be described by a trace, i.e., a sequence of events. Process mining techniques are able to extract knowledge from such traces and provide a welcome extension to the repertoire of business process analysis techniques. Recently, process mining techniques have been adopted in various commercial BPM systems (e.g., BPM|one, Futura Reflect, ARIS PPM, Fujitsu Interstage, Businesscape, Iontas PDF, and QPR PA). Unfortunately, traditional process discovery algorithms have problems dealing with less structured processes. The resulting models are difficult to comprehend or even misleading. Therefore, we propose a new approach based on trace alignment. The goal is to align traces in such a way that event logs can be explored easily. Trace alignment can be used to explore the process in the early stages of analysis and to answer specific questions in later stages of analysis. Hence, it complements existing process mining techniques focusing on discovery and conformance checking. The proposed techniques have been implemented as plugins in the ProM framework. We report the results of trace alignment on one synthetic and two real-life event logs, and show that trace alignment has significant promise in process diagnostic efforts. 相似文献
