An information system (in the Pawlakpsilas sense) can describe the states of processes observed in a given concurrent system. If we extend a given information system by adding some new states which have not been observed yet, then we are interested in the degrees of consistency (called also consistency factors) of added states with the knowledge of state coexistence included in the original information system. Such information can be helpful in predicting the possibility of appearing given states in the future in the examined system. The consistency factor computed can be between 0 and 1, 0 for the full inconsistency and 1 for the full consistency. The experiments show that the states from extensions of original information systems, having greater values of consistency factors, appear significantly more often in the future.","PeriodicalId":139846,"journal":{"name":"2008 Conference on Human System Interactions","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134521763","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 human hand is modeled with a mixture of different levels of detail, from skeletal to polygonal surface representation. Different types of features are extracted and paired with the corresponding model. The matching is performed in a bottom-up order by SCG optimization with respect to the state vector of motion parameters. The low level of matching provide initial guess to the high level of matching, refining the precise position of the hand hierarchically. The matching results show that this method is effective for tracking human hand typing motion, even with noisy 3D depth map reconstruction and roughly detected fingertips.

However its practical usefulness for very complex systems is limited by lack of an efficient method of input variable partitioning. In this paper, a heuristic method for input variable partitioning is proposed for decomposition of Boolean function represented by BDD. The method is based on an application of evolutionary algorithms, what allows exploring the possible solution space of a problem while keeping the high-quality solutions in this reduced space. The boolean function is represented by the reduced ordered binary decision diagram (ROBDD). The experimental results show that the proposed heuristic method is able to generate optimal or near optimal solution very efficiently even for large systems. It is much faster than the systematic method while delivering results of the comparable quality.","PeriodicalId":139846,"journal":{"name":"2008 Conference on Human System Interactions","volume":"463 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132305106","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}

Tudoroiu, M. Zaheeruddin, Elena-Roxana Tudoroiu, V. Jeflea","doi":"10.1109/HSI.2008.4581459","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/HSI.2008.4581459","url":null,"abstract":"Nowadays monitoring and controlling the modern and sophisticated heating ventilation air conditioning (HVAC) building systems under a wide variety of occupancy and load related operating conditions is becoming a difficult and challenging task. Their complexity drastically increases and the control becomes more difficult task due to the several control loops that interact between them. Among these control loops the discharge air temperature (DAT) loops, the static pressure loop (SP), and the variable air volume (VAV) terminal unit loop are the candidate loops requiring frequent re-tuning. Equipment failures and loss of control leading to less than acceptable indoor environment conditions is a common problem reported in these systems. In our paper we consider the degradation in the DAT loop performance caused by a gradual increase in backlash of the valve actuator and several disturbances that occur in the process. The main objective of this paper is to describe the application of an interactive multiple model (IMM) [9] based on an augmented unscented Kalman filter (UKF) estimation algorithm (IMMAUKF) [2] to the problem of fault detection diagnosis and isolation (FDDI) of the valve actuator failures in DAT loop of the HVAC systems [4]. The proposed algorithm is an alternative to the interactive multiple model (IMM) developed in the literature based on the extended Kalman filter standard technique [2], [3]-[5], [7]-[11], the most popular estimation technique used in the last 40 years. The main advantage of the proposed algorithm is the less computation, consequently faster, high accuracy, robustness and eliminates completely the linearization of the system dynamics.","PeriodicalId":139846,"journal":{"name":"2008 Conference on Human System Interactions","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132594507","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 system consists of a simple signal sample generator and some logic gates forming a feedback loop. The sample generator is modeled as a multi-dimensional nonlinear circuit and the digital code is applied to determine the coordinates of its operating point. By using the negative feedback loop, the code is update step by step to get the right operating point for the system to produce the sample that is the closest to the input signal. This updating process makes good use of the non-linearity of the system to have the step size variable in such a way that it is large at the beginning of the process to have a quick convergence and small at the end for a small residue error. Because the signal sample is recorded by a digital code and it can be reproduced easily without problems occurring in analog signal storage and reproduction, the system can be used for a robust analog signal sample/hold. As an example of implementing such an adaptive system, a current-sample/hold circuit has been designed and presented in the paper.","PeriodicalId":139846,"journal":{"name":"2008 Conference on Human System Interactions","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125006496","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}

They represent an innovation to logic-based grammars. For the interpretation phase, we use componential analysis and the laws of integrity. Componential analysis defines the sense of the lexical parts that constituted the sentence through a collection of semantic features.
