Multi-attribute reverse auction is widely used for the procurements of enterprises or governments. To overcome the difficulty of identifying bidding attribute weight and score function of the buyer, the multi-round auction and bidding models with multiple winners are established based on fuzzy data envelopment analysis. The winner determination model of the buyer considers the integrated…

Network security is often built on perimeter defense. Sophisticated attacks are able to penetrate the perimeter and access valuable resources in the network. A more complete defense strategy also contains mechanisms to detect and mitigate perimeter breaches. Deceptive systems are a promising technology to detect, deceive and counter infiltration. In this work we provide an…

In automated working environments, mobile robots can be used for different purposes such as material handling, domestic services, and objects transportation. This work presents a grasping and placing operation for multiple labware and tube racks in life science laboratories using the H20 mobile robots. The H20 robot has dual arms where each arm consists of…

A  comparative  study  between  adaptive  consensus  control  of multi-agent systems composed of fully actuated mobile robots which are described as a class of Euler-Lagrange systems on directed network graphs based on the notion of inverse optimal H∞ control criterion (Controller I), and the similar control strategy without H∞ control criterion (Controller II), is given in this paper.…

Many decision problems have more than one objective that need to be dealt with simultaneously. Moreover, because of the qualitative nature of the most of real world problem it is an inevitable activity and very important to interpret and present the uncertain information for making effective decision. The Evidential Reasoning (ER) approach which is one…

This paper discusses a step climbing strategy using a wheelchair and a teleoperated care robot that avoids collisions between the wheelchair’s front wheels and the step wall. In our method, the two vehicles are connected and use the velocity difference between them to climb steps. Since the wheelchair’s front wheels, or another part of the…

In this article we’ll tackle the control of multi-motors electric drives with high dynamic, with rapid changes in torque and speed, with rigid or flexible coupling of motors, where the control strategy is FOC (Field Oriented Control) for each drives and the distributed control in local network using the CANopen protocol. In the surface mining…

In the recent years, the fast development and the exponential utilization of social networks have prompted an expansion of social Computing. In social networks users are interconnected by edges or links, where Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn are most popular social networks websites. Due to the growing popularity of these sites they serve as a target for…
