First applications of the Orbex coprocessor: Control of unmanned vehicles.

Ricardo García Rosa, Teresa de Pedro Lucio (2000)

Mathware and Soft Computing

The ORBEX coprocessor has been designed to execute the typical fuzzy operations of a system based on fuzzy rules. The first real application has been fuzzy controllers for electric cars. The values of the input variables, the position and the orientation of the car with respect the desired trajectory of reference, are obtained from the data provided by a DGPS boarded in the vehicle. The values of the output variables provided by the controller are the angle that the steering wheel has to be turned...

Fuzzy adaptation for information access to digital libraries.

Camino Fernández, Ignacio Aedo, Paloma Díaz, Vicente Matellán (2000)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Different models have been proposed to build systems that adapt to the user reducing the complexity in the information browsing process, saving user time and offering personalised interfaces. The work described in this paper named WAY-Z39.50, is an example of adaptive system specially built for accessing digital libraries. A fuzzy decision mechanism is used to implement the adaptation of both the user interface and the information searching process. This paper describes how this system has been...

Fuzzy controller for obstacle-avoidance with a non-holonomous mobile robot.

Uribe 1, Juan Pedro, Joseba Urzelai (1998)

Mathware and Soft Computing

This paper describes the design and development of a sensor based navigation system which makes it possible for a non-holonomous mobile robot to avoid obstacles using information on its environment picked up by a belt of ultrasonic sensors. To control the robot no preliminary information regarding its environment is required, the robot adapts to them through the information gathered on the spot by the ultrasonic sensors and the information released from a spatial memory. The controller, which allows...

Implementing Dynamic Visualization as an Alternative Interface to a Digital Mathematics Library

Nevěřilová, Zuzana (2010)

Towards a Digital Mathematics Library. Paris, France, July 7-8th, 2010

This paper presents an alternative interface for browsing in the Czech Digital Mathematics Library (DML-CZ) using our Visual Browser web browsing tool. Using dynamic visualization, we have created a tool for browsing the library graphically. Visualization can help users orient themselves in complex data and at the same time reveal sometimes unexpected relationships among units; it at least speeds up browsing. This work follows the metadata processing undertaken on DML-CZ and visualizes all reasonable...

INSPIRE: Realizing the Dream of a Global Digital Library in High-Energy Physics

Holtkamp, Annette, Mele, Salvatore, Šimko, Tibor, Smith, Tim (2010)

Towards a Digital Mathematics Library. Paris, France, July 7-8th, 2010

High-Energy Physics (HEP) has a long tradition in pioneering infrastructures for scholarly communication, and four leading laboratories are now rolling-out the next-generation digital library for the field: INSPIRE. This is an evolution of the extraordinarily successful, 40-years old SPIRES database. Based on the Invenio software, INSPIRE already provides seamless access to almost 1 million records, which will be expanded to cover multimedia, data, software, wikis. Services offered include citation...

Integrated Design of an Active Flow Control System Using a Time-Dependent Adjoint Method

E.J. Nielsen, W.T. Jones (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

An exploratory study is performed to investigate the use of a time-dependent discrete adjoint methodology for design optimization of a high-lift wing configuration augmented with an active flow control system. The location and blowing parameters associated with a series of jet actuation orifices are used as design variables. In addition, a geometric parameterization scheme is developed to provide a compact set of design variables describing the wing...

Localization and fuzzy classification of manufacturing defects in sheets of glass.

Luis Junco Navascués, Luciano Sánchez (1998)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Artificial Vision Systems are commonly used in industrial applications. The low cost of the equipment facilitates the development of new products. In this paper we describe the use of an artificial vision system in one of the phases of a quality control process related to automotive industries: the windshield manufacturing. We intend to localize and classify the defects that were originated while manufacturing the glass that forms the windshield. We will show that a fuzzy classifier, after being...

Mathematical Communication and Representation in a Virtual Learning Environment

Córcoles, César, Huertas, Antonia (2010)

Towards a Digital Mathematics Library. Paris, France, July 7-8th, 2010

Abstract. At an exclusively online university such as the UOC the necessity for communicating mathematics in the web is pressing. In an environment that does not allow for face to face communication, things implicitly communicated when using a blackboard, such as the canonical verbalization or handwriting of formulae, are lost and become a big obstacle. Also, the editorial process for the creation of learning/teaching resources is suited for a generalist approach and, consequently, needs such as...

Mathematical Formulae Recognition and Logical Structure Analysis of Mathematical Papers

Suzuki, Masakazu (2010)

Towards a Digital Mathematics Library. Paris, France, July 7-8th, 2010

In most cases the current on-line journals in mathematics are supplied in the form of PDF with print images of papers in the front and OCR’ed hidden texts behind to provide with search facilily using key words. The embedded hidden texts usually does not include good information about mathematical formulae in the papers. We can say that, for the future development of DML, it is desirable to include, in the digitised journals, more structured information of the content of mathematical papers, e.g....

Metadata Editing and Validation for a Digital Mathematics Library

Filej, Miha, Růžička, Michal, Šárfy, Martin, Sojka, Petr (2010)

Towards a Digital Mathematics Library. Paris, France, July 7-8th, 2010

For preparing and validating metadata for the Digital Mathematics Library DML-CZ, a new tool, the Metadata Editor, has been developed. This paper outlines the procedures for Linguistic and geographical localizations its components. Also mentioned are such aspects as dynamic generation of form editing based on the XML Schema, the validation procedures as well as support for semiautomatic procedures regarding quality assurance.

Modeling a fuzzy coprocessor and its programming language.

Ricardo García Rosa, Teresa de Pedro Lucio (1998)

Mathware and Soft Computing

A computational model for a fuzzy coprocessor (types and structures of data and the set of instructions) is proposed. The coprocessor will be charged only of the typical operations of fuzzy logic as calculating membership degrees, unions and intersections of fuzzy sets, fuzzy inferences, defuzzifications and so on. One main novelty is that the programming language admits fuzzy rules conditions in which there would be linguistic edges preceding the predicates and the coprocessor is designed to deal...

Neural methods for obtaining fuzzy rules.

José Manuel Benítez, Armando Blanco, Miguel Delgado, Ignacio Requena (1996)

Mathware and Soft Computing

In previous papers, we presented an empirical methodology based on Neural Networks for obtaining fuzzy rules which allow a system to be described, using a set of examples with the corresponding inputs and outputs. Now that the previous results have been completed, we present another procedure for obtaining fuzzy rules, also based on Neural Networks with Backpropagation, with no need to establish beforehand the labels or values of the variables that govern the system.
