These devices need to have effective communication between them, and this is growing the demand for C-ITS (Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems) solutions. However, the current telecommunication infrastructure may not support this demand soon. One option to minimize this problem is use multiples networks and select the best infrastructure available even before to starting the communication. This work presents the SISS (Service-based Interface Selection Scheme) algorithm that aims to select the best network option for each new connection, taking the service requirements into account. We present simulation results to show the effectiveness of the proposed iterative SISS approach.","PeriodicalId":232097,"journal":{"name":"IEEE EUROCON 2019 -18th International Conference on Smart Technologies","volume":"290 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132031961","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}

However, despite years of research, it is still considered a difficult problem as most tracking algorithms fail when the objects of interest are similar in appearance to their surroundings or they are occluded. In this paper the widely used 2D mean-shift tracking algorithm is extended to 3D space, in order to exploit the extra depth information provided by 3D video content to increase tracking accuracy and robustness. The performance of the proposed 3D tracking algorithm is compared to the traditional 2D mean-shift algorithm in terms of tracking accuracy and speed. Results show that in general the tracking accuracy is improved while requiring more processing time. Nonetheless, the algorithm executes at a rate which is faster than typical video capturing rates and thus has no impact on the performance of the tracking system.","PeriodicalId":232097,"journal":{"name":"IEEE EUROCON 2019 -18th International Conference on Smart Technologies","volume":"2016 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131539710","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 presented model is based on factor graphs and solved using the belief propagation (BP) algorithm. The proposed algorithm is placed in the non-overlapping multi-area SE scenario without a central coordinator. The communication between areas is asynchronous, where neighboring areas exchange only “beliefs” about specific state variables. Presented architecture directly exploits system sparsity, can be flexibly paralellized and results in substantially lower computational complexity compared to traditional SE solutions. Finally, we discuss performances of the BP-based SE algorithm using power systems with 118, 1354 and 9241 buses.","PeriodicalId":232097,"journal":{"name":"IEEE EUROCON 2019 -18th International Conference on Smart Technologies","volume":"444 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125618524","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}

When it comes to production of electrical energy, the most important part of system represents electrical generator. In this paper, the electromagnetic model of synchronous machine used in such wave energy conversion system is created and analyzed. Using created model, the generator’s no-load induced voltage, which works under specific conditions, is analyzed. The specific conditions of these applications imply variable rotor speed, which is a consequence of the stochastic wave nature. The no-load performance of the synchronous generator is investigated by using 2-D finite element method. Calculation of the induced voltage and its peak values, depending on the operating conditions, were performed in order to properly select installed equipment in the wave energy conversion system, the most important being power converter.","PeriodicalId":232097,"journal":{"name":"IEEE EUROCON 2019 -18th International Conference on Smart Technologies","volume":"48 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114108689","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 influence of ensemble creation techniques and parameter selection to the robustness and quality of consensus partition was explored. Furthermore, we have evaluated changes in the clustering performance after dimensionality reduction. The results indicate that careful selection of the algorithm parameters and ensemble design are needed to ensure the stable consensus partition.

These interventions typically include measures such as, lowering hot water set point temperatures and implementing hot water drawoff and heating cycle scheduling. Utilities can, furthermore, implement demand response measures by automated control of hot water loads. These scheduling interventions generally give rise to lower average water temperatures inside the storage vessels, which can encourage the growth of pathogens such as Legionnaire bacteria. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation to determine the internal temperature distributions of a domestic water heater for predetermined hot water draw-off and heating cycle scheduling. The development of a dedicated system for measuring the internal water temperature distribution of a cylindrical water heater is discussed. Measured temperature distribution results are presented for horizontal and vertical distributions, using daily draw-off and heating cycle patterns aimed at reducing standing losses. The results show that the scheduling methodology can give rise to increased risk of the bacterial growth, especially for horizontally orientated cylinders.","PeriodicalId":232097,"journal":{"name":"IEEE EUROCON 2019 -18th International Conference on Smart Technologies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128652617","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}
