The development of agent-based systems is negatively impacted by the lack of process standardization across the major development phases, such as the requirements analysis phase. This issue creates a key barrier for agent technology stockholders regarding comprehending and analyzing complexity associated with these systems specifications. Instead, such fundamental low-level infrastructure is loosely attended to in…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented in EIC-2017. It deals with influence of the supply frequency for dissipation factor measurements, mainly for tests under power frequency and low frequency. After a theoretical reminder, we present some experiments on single coils and stators of high voltage motors. Finally, we discuss the results and…

In remote measurements on large-sized objects main focus is on measuring deformations of bridge surfaces and determination of the dynamic amplification factor in particular. The proposed method estimates deflections of entire lower surface of a bridge due to placement of secondary radiators on this surface. Antenna array directivity pattern (ADP) is distorted during deflection of…

This paper develops a remote control…

Analog layout is created in integrated circuits (IC) computer aided design (CAD) environment and during realization requires a lot of modifications of database objects. Because database objects modification is time consuming, then any improvement and simplification of modification flow in IC CAD environment can increase layout productivity. A proposed new modification concept can speed-up layout…

One of the most important roles of the wireless sensor networks (WSN) is to avoid wiring costs, be self-sustainable and be able to function for several years. However, due to the slow progress in battery technology, power continues to be a limited resource in wireless sensor communication and electric energy storage remains to be an…

This paper presents a Release Management model to support requirements management. Requirements development and management can be integrated with a release-planning approach to achieve lesser Requirements spillover problems which is an innovative way to capture, control and evolve the user requirements based on integer linear programming.

A process for the determination of a required spatial resolution in the collection of the Received Signal Level (RSL) is discussed. This method considers RSL measurements as a three dimensional surface that is sampled through the data collection process. In addition, it is difficult to collect RSL measurements for an entire coverage area because of…

Complex networked systems provide a cornucopia of network statistics, many of which relate to the temporal behaviour of subsystems, devices, or even individual protocol layers. Different and flexible visualizations can play a crucial role in discovering and making patterns, relations, and trends tangible. We developed PerfVis, a tool that visualizes timestamp data to aid in…

Achieving targeted reliability for complex products in real-world field environments remains a persistent challenge, even when laboratory validation suggests high performance. A significant reliability gap often emerges during the initial deployment phase, typically within the first one to five years where field failure rates can be up to twice those predicted in controlled settings. Compounding…

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have demonstrated remarkable success across a wide range of machine learning tasks. However, determining an effective network architecture, particularly the sizes of the hidden layers, remains a significant challenge and often relies on inefficient trial-and-error experimentation. In this paper, we propose an automated architecture design approach based on structurally adaptive DNNs,…

In this work, we present CIRB-Edge, a novel integer compression method designed specifically to overcome the limitations of traditional techniques such as Huffman coding, Delta encoding, and dictionary-based algorithms. These legacy methods often fall short in meeting the stringent requirements of secure, energy-efficient, and real-time edge computing due to their high computational overhead, memory demands,…

While prior research has focused on siloed approaches to equipment replacement, this study introduces an integrated decision-making framework that synergizes predictive maintenance (IoT/M), dynamic multi-criteria analysis (MCDM), and sustainability-driven material selection. By validating this model through cross-sector case studies and strategic operational planning across various industrial sectors. We demonstrate a 30% improvement in replacement timing…

In regions like the African equatorial region, where ground-based sensors like ionosondes and incoherent scatter radars are limited, satellite-based radio occultation (RO) observations offer a new alternative for ionospheric data collecting and optimization. Using RO measurements from the mostly newly launched COSMIC-2 (Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate-2) mission, hence, the equatorial Africa,…

This study presents a novel alternative to traditional Net Energy Metering (NEM) by proposing a set of innovative pricing schemes for solar customers participating in utility-led grid service programs through the aggregation of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). Grounded in cooperative game theory, the proposed framework facilitates equitable and efficient value allocation among key stakeholders, namely…
