The paper describes the workcell and the intelligent supervisory control system. Performance of the supervisory system is studied through fish cutting experiments.","PeriodicalId":166931,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1st International Conference on Conventional and Knowledge Based Intelligent Electronic Systems.

Microscopic activity is seen in the fraction of the variance of single neuron pulse trains (>99.9%) that is largely random and uncorrelated with pulse trains of other neurons in the neuropil. Macroscopic activity is revealed in the >0.1% of the total variance of each neuron that is covariant with all other neurons in neuropil comprising a population. It is observed in dendritic potentials recorded as surface EEGs. The \"spontaneous\" background activity of neuropil at both levels arises from mutual excitation within a population of excitatory neurons. Its governing point attractor is set by the macroscopic state, which acts as an order parameter to regulate the contributing neurons. The point attractor manifests a homogeneous field of white noise, which can be modeled by a continuous time state variable for pulse density. Neuropil comprises both excitatory and inhibitory neurons.","PeriodicalId":166931,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1st International Conference on Conventional and Knowledge Based Intelligent Electronic Systems.

In contrast to other expert systems for mobile robotics the adapted framework enables structured design and verification of implemented systems. This in turn results in a modular system, and a system with a predictable performance. The authors describe how a behaviour based system can be controlled by a rule based expert system, where the interaction between behaviours is described in terms of a process algebra, where different processes are modelled as discrete event systems, and compositions are controlled by a supervisory control-structure. To verify the described framework experimental results obtained with a prototype system are also outlined.","PeriodicalId":166931,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1st International Conference on Conventional and Knowledge Based Intelligent Electronic Systems.

Nonlinear quantization in accordance with the characteristics of the applied map is utilized to acquire the MSM of more states. As one of the applications employing MSM, a high-radix adder is introduced to describe the possibilities of the hidden power of MSM application in multiple-valued logic (MVL) calculation.","PeriodicalId":166931,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1st International Conference on Conventional and Knowledge Based Intelligent Electronic Systems.

Each tuple value has a compatibility degree of necessity and possibility with a functional dependency. Whether a tuple satisfies the functional dependency is determined by the comparison of the compatibility degree with the value of the membership attribute. Our formulation does not contain any parameters. We examine inference rules under two interpretations of functional dependencies. Under the interpretation corresponding to using Godel implication, Armstrong's inference rules are sound and complete for any functional dependency with no weights, and the extended Armstrong inference rules are sound and complete for any functional dependency with weights. On the other hand, under the interpretation corresponding to using Diens implication, Armstrong's inference rules are sound and complete for functional dependencies with identity relations and no weights, and the extended Armstrong inference rules are sound and complete for functional dependencies with identity relations and weights. However, Armstrong's inference rules and their extended inference rules are not sound for functional dependencies with resemblance relations and no weights and for those with resemblance relations and weights, respectively. In these cases, another set of sound inference rules holds.","PeriodicalId":166931,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1st International Conference on Conventional and Knowledge Based Intelligent Electronic Systems.

However, these tools typically are either generic in scope, or limited to the needs of a particular user without regard for reuse in some related context. We propose an approach and architecture for customized filtering and cataloging which bridges these two extremes. We allow users to create and maintain a metadatabase of information gathered over time by using modular filters created for specific needs or drawn from a standard library. This metadatabase, which may be regarded as a database view of the Internet, can then be accessed to locate information relevant to specific or more generic tasks. Potentially, our approach achieves greater flexibility and specificity as compared to currently available tools. We describe our preliminary design, implementation, and experimentation for our proof of concept prototypical effort.","PeriodicalId":166931,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1st International Conference on Conventional and Knowledge Based Intelligent Electronic Systems.
