The objective of the server is to reduce response times for aperiodic tasks and guaranteeing the schedulability of all periodic tasks (considered as critical tasks). This server improves the response time offered by TBS (total bandwidth server), because idle times, aperiodic and periodic tasks are considered for deadline assignment. The optimality of the server is also proved. Finally a performance evaluation is made by comparing the server with TBS in different periodic and aperiodic load levels","PeriodicalId":179210,"journal":{"name":"Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference (CERMA'06)","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123068967","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}

Also, the model considers that the conductivity of the plasma inside the lamp depends of the heat flow from the inside of the lamp to outside. The heat flow of the lamp has an analogy with electrical circuits with resistors and capacitors. This capacitors and resistors represent the thermal behavior of the lamp and can be used to predict the dynamic of the lamp and its stability. The proposed model emulates the effects of the filling gas, the arc tube, the partial vacuum, and the outer bulb. This model is used to emulate the lamp behavior when the lamp is fed with square waveforms. This model can be implemented in software as \"PSpice\", \"Simnon\" or \"MATLAB\"","PeriodicalId":179210,"journal":{"name":"Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference (CERMA'06)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126453210","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}

With the establishment of a UEAN, all the electronic devices and gadgets at home can exchange voice, data, and video, in real time.

It's presented as an example the robot soccer competition, which each agent's action depends as much in another agent's reaction as on the cooperation of the others. Although the system is highly dynamic, the strategies that rule this system can be seen on a discreet view as a way to select the best strategy to be used easing the work of the motor's fuzzy controller. Also is proposed a control based on the change of the linear and angular velocities so the computational work can be drag down.
