In the present work, a comparative study has been carried out between power, exponential, and sigmoidal sandwich FGM plates for free vibration conditions under hygro-thermal conditions. Rules of mixture is used to determine effective material properties across the thickness for power-law and sigmoid sandwich FGM plates. Exponential law is used to plot effective material properties for exponentially graded sandwich FGM plates. Temperature and moisture dependent material properties were used during the analysis. Free vibration analysis is carried out using recently proposed finite element based HOZT. Present formulation satisfies interlayer transverse stress continuity conditions at interfaces and transverse shear stress-free conditions at the plate's top and bottom surfaces. The present model is free from any penalty or post-processing requirements. Several new results are reported in the present work, especially for unsymmetric sandwich FGM plates and exponential and sigmoidal sandwich FGM plates.

For real-world clustering tasks, the input data is typically not easily separable due to the highly complex data structure or when clusters vary in size, density and shape. Kernel-based clustering has proven to be an effective approach to partition such data. In this paper, we provide an overview of several fuzzy kernel clustering algorithms. We focus on methods that optimize an fuzzy C-mean-type objective function. We highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each method. In addition to the completely unsupervised algorithms, we also provide an overview of some semi-supervised fuzzy kernel clustering algorithms. These algorithms use partial supervision information to guide the optimization process and avoid local minima. We also provide an overview of the different approaches that have been used to extend kernel clustering to handle very large data sets.

Recently, the need for IoT-based intelligent systems is increasing in various fields. In this study, we implemented the system that automatically measures the sugar content of fruits without damage to fruit's marketability using near-infrared radiation and machine learning. The spectrums were measured several times by passing a broadband near-infrared light through a fruit, and the average value for them was used as the input raw data of the machine-learned DNN(Deep Neural Network). Using this system, he sugar content value of fruits could be predicted within 5 s, and the prediction accuracy was about 93.86%. The proposed non-destructive sugar content measurement system can predict a relatively accurate sugar content value within a short period of time, so it is considered to have sufficient potential for practical use.

In the absence of a clear command and control structure, a key challenge in supply chain management is the coordination and alignment of the supply chain members who pursue divergent and often conflicting goals. The newsvendor model is typically used as a framework to quantify the cost of misalignment and to assess the impact of coordination initiatives. This paper considers a fuzzy approach for the newsvendor problem which includes a single manufacturer and a single retailer. We use several fuzzy parameters in the model such as the demand, the wholesale price, and the market sales price. We apply a coordination policy, referred to as buyback, to solve the fuzzy newsvendor problem. Based on the buyback policy, the optimal order quantity of the retailer can be computed, and the possible profits of the members in the supply chain can be calculated with minimum sharing of private information. Focusing on the fuzzy model with buyback policy for the newsvendor problem, we illustrate exemplary fuzzy models. We also illustrate an integration model, which extends a single-manufacturer-single-retailer model to the single-manufacturer-multiple-retailer setting. In the extended model, we consider three coordination policies including quantity discount, profit sharing, and buyback, as well as non-coordination case.

With the exhaustion of global IPv4 addresses, IPv6 technologies have attracted increasing attentions, and have been deployed widely. Meanwhile, new applications running over IPv6 networks will change the traditional traffic characteristics obtained from IPv4 networks. Traditional models obtained from IPv4 cannot be used for IPv6 network monitoring directly and there is a need to investigate those changes. In this paper, we explore the flow features of IPv6 traffic and compare its difference with that of IPv4 traffic from flow level. Firstly, we analyze the differences of the general flow statistical characteristics and users' behavior between IPv4 and IPv6 networks. We find that there are more elephant flows in IPv6, which is critical for traffic engineering. Secondly, we find that there exist many one-way flows both in the IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, which are important information sources for abnormal behavior detection. Finally, in light of the challenges of analyzing massive data of large-scale network monitoring, we propose a group flow model which can greatly reduce the number of flows while capturing the primary traffic features, and perform a comparative measurement analysis of group users' behavior dynamic characteristics. We find there are less sharp changes caused by abnormity compared with IPv4, which shows there are less large-scale malicious activities in IPv6 currently. All the evaluation experiments are carried out based on the traffic traces collected from the Northwest Regional Center of CERNET (China Education and Research Network), and the results reveal the detailed flow characteristics of IPv6, which are useful for traffic management and anomaly detection in IPv6.

The main purpose to introduce model based controller in proposed control technique is to provide better and fast learning of the floating dynamics by means of fuzzy logic controller and also cancelling effect of nonlinear terms of the system. An iterative adaptive dynamic programming algorithm is proposed to deal with the optimal trajectory-tracking control problems for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). The optimal tracking control problem is converted into an optimal regulation problem by system transformation. Then the optimal regulation problem is solved by the policy iteration adaptive dynamic programming algorithm. Finally, simulation example is given to show the performance of the iterative adaptive dynamic programming algorithm.

Network human-robot interface is an important research topic. In home application, users access the robotic system directly via voice, gestures or through the network. Users explore a system by using the services provided by this system and to some extend users are enable to participate in a service as partners. A service may be provided by a robot, a group of robots or robots and other network connected systems (distributed sensors, information systems, etc). All these services are done in the network environment, where uncertainty such as the unstable network connection, the availability of the partners in a service, exists. Moreover, these services are controlled by several users, accessing at different time by different methods. Our research aimed at solving this problem to provide a high available level, flexible coordination system. In this paper, a multi-agent framework is proposed. This framework is validated by using our new concept of slave agents, a responsive multi-agent environment, a virtual directory facilitator (VDF), and a task allocation system using contract net protocol. Our system uses a mixed model between distributed and centralized model. It uses a centralized agent management system (AMS) to control the overall system. However, the partners and users may be distributed agents connected to the center through agent communication or centralized at the AMS container using the slave agents to represent the physical agents. The system is able to determine the task allocation for a group of robot working as a team to provide a service. A number of experiments have been conducted successfully in our lab environment using Issac robot, a PDA for user agent and a wireless network system, operated under our multi agent framework control. The experiments show that this framework works well and provides some advantages to existing systems.

이 논문에서는 STDR(sequence time domain reflectometry) 기법의 상관기 앞단에 부호기를 넣음으로써 계산량을 증가시키지 않고도 원거리 고장의 위치 탐지 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. STDR 기법은 PN 수열을 인가하여 시간 영역 상관(time domain correlation)으로 고장 위치를 탐지하는 기법이므로, 상관기 앞단에 부호기를 넣음으로써 고장 위치에서 반사된 신호를 STDR 기법의 인가 신호에 가깝게 복원시켜 상관 값을 증가시킬 수 있다. 제안한 기법을 사용하여 원거리 고장에서 고장위치 탐지 성능을 크게 개선시킬 수 있음을 모의실험으로 확인한다.

본 논문은 사용자가 감각형 인터페이스를 사용하여 가상공간의 지능적인 화단을 체험, 체감 할 수 있는 시스템(Garden Alive)을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 카메라, 조도, 습도 센서를 갖춘 현실공간의 화단과 상호작용에 사용되는 감각형 인터페이스, 진화모듈과 감정모듈을 갖춘 인공지능 모듈, 그리고 가상식물의 성장과 반응을 보여주는 Virtual Garden으로 구성된다. 감각형 인터페이스는 카메라로 사용자의 손동작을 인식하고, 조도센서로 광량을 확인하여, 습도센서로 물의 양을 측정한다. 이러한 정보를 바탕으로 인공지능 모듈은 식물의 진화 방향과 감정상태의 변화를 결정한다. Virtual Garden은 L-system을 기반으로 제작되어 가상식물들은 실제 식물들과 유사한 형태로 성장하도록 한다. 제안된 Garden Alive에서 화단의 식물들은 각각의 개체마다. 유전자를 가지고 있어 식물의 다양성을 볼 수 있고, 빛과 수분 등의 환경요인에 따른 적합도를 평가함으로써 세대를 거듭함에 따라 진화해가는 모습을 볼 수 있다. 마지막으로 단순히 자극에 반응하는 식물이 아닌 사용자와 상호작용에 따른 식물의 감정 변화를 통해 적절한 반응을 보이는 지능적인 식물을 구현하였다. 따라서 제안된 시스템은 오락과 교육을 위한 콘텐츠, 사용자에 따른 개별적 반응을 통해 심리적인 안정을 제공할 수 있는 콘텐츠 등으로 응용될 수 있다.
