The method can also be applied to large-scale systems such as sensor networks and power systems. For a hierarchical large-scale system, the overlapping block-diagonal state space (OBDSS) representation of the system is transformed into our proposed constrained-state block-diagonal state space (CSBDSS) model. The proposed model becomes purely diagonal which simplifies and allows the distributed implementation of the Kalman filters. The constrained-state condition needs to be satisfied at each Kalman filtering iteration which is shown to be equivalent to solving local constrained optimization cost functions. Simulation results presented confirm the effectiveness of our proposed analytical work.","PeriodicalId":131616,"journal":{"name":"2009 3rd Annual IEEE Systems Conference","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132764072","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}

As such, a standardization project has been carried out to solve the problems by setting up the national standards for the systems. The main role of the project is to support the governments, the operation companies and the industries according to the URT law, and also the law itself. A common database was built using a systems engineering tool to provide the integrated engineering environment to the community of URT project. This paper discusses the design of the database and how it can be utilized in the successful promotion of the project. The products of the projects are stored into the database to be referred to by other new projects for reusing sharing the information. A key usage of the database is obtained by managing the traceability among the products and regulations through cross organizations. The traceability will provide a strong basis for any new development of systems that need to consider the products of previous projects, standards and regulations perspectives. Also, the incorporation of the newly coming and ever changing standards or regulations is possible for the development using the traceability among the changes in them.","PeriodicalId":131616,"journal":{"name":"2009 3rd Annual IEEE Systems Conference","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133640482","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}

Conventional paradigms tend to report only the existence and state of targets according to centralized detection and data fusion. On the contrary, we investigate a multi-target, multi-sensor scenario in which (a) both the number and the state of the targets are unknown a priori; and (b) the detection with respect to targets is performed in a compressive manner. Toward this end, we exploit random finite set theory (RFST), a statistical tool based on Bayesian framework, for establishing generalized likelihood and Markov density functions to yield an iterative filtering procedure. The nature of RFST allows us to model the uncertainty of missed detection, target disappearance and other practical artifacts. We conduct a study regarding how the design of compressive detection has impact on the result of system level information fusion.","PeriodicalId":131616,"journal":{"name":"2009 3rd Annual IEEE Systems Conference","volume":"s3-45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130200199","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}
