In the GO-ELM, the structure and the parameters of the SLFN are optimized by a genetic algorithm (GA). The output weights, like in the batch ELM, are obtained by a least squares algorithm, but using Tikhonov's regularization in order to improve the SLFN performance in the presence of noisy data. The GA is used to tune the set of input variables, the hidden-layer configuration and bias, the input weights and the Tikhonov's regularization factor. The proposed method was applied and compared with four other methods over five benchmark problems available in a public repository. Besides it was applied in the estimation of the temperature at the burning zone of a real cement kiln plant.","PeriodicalId":106678,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 18th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129440607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper shows an approach on how to automatically create plant simulation models by reusing plant engineering data and couple different simulation tools in a dynamic co-simulation framework.

Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) constitutes a promising paradigm to meet these challenges. To apply the rather abstract SOA principles to industrial automation, a model-driven engineering method is presented in this paper. Therefore, a reference architecture is introduced providing a framework to structure and define services for control tasks in a convenient way. The application of the engineering method is supported by an implementation concept. It uses SysML during the design phase and the process modeling and control language Grafchart for the execution of service-oriented control procedures.","PeriodicalId":106678,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 18th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114834798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The approach is based on a Probabilistic Road Map that does not rule out samples implying collisions with removable objects but instead classify them according to the collided obstacle(s), and allows the search of free paths with the indication of which objects must be removed from the workspace to make the path be actually valid. The approach has been implemented and different tests were performed with considering a real two-hand robotic system with one hand in charge of grasping a desired object and the other in charge of removing the potential obstacles.

This paper focuses on the clock servo design for better accuracy and precision in software-based clock synchronization over WLAN. The behaviour of the clock servo is analysed in this work and errors arising from software timestamps and the oscillator are evaluated. These errors are then used to investigate the operating conditions of the servo loop which results in the least synchronization offset and jitter. Results are obtained through simulations and then verified experimentally by a prototypical implementation. The results indicate that the synchronization performance is optimal when the servo relies more on the oscillator and less on the software timestamps.","PeriodicalId":106678,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 18th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125733785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
