However, architectural documentation is often unavailable or out-of-date. In this paper, we explore the use of Bayesian learning methods for automatic recovery of a software system's architecture, given incomplete or out-of-date documentation. We employ software modules with known classifications to train the Naive Bayes Classifier. We then use the classifier to place new instances, i.e. new software modules, into appropriate sub-systems. We evaluate the performance of the classifier by conducting experiments on a software system, and compare the results obtained with a manually prepared architecture. We present an analysis of the results, and also discuss the assumptions under which the results are expected to be meaningful.","PeriodicalId":291800,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Electrical Engineering","volume":"185 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125678794","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 strategy Is based on the logical network abridgement (LNA) scheme designed for the adhoc networks in the literature. Sensor networks are distinguished from the traditional networks by characteristics such as deeply embedded routers, highly dynamic networks, resource constrained nodes, frequent topology change and unreliable and asymmetric links. Although there are some previous methods for adaptive routing in these networks, but not much work has been done so far in this direction. In this paper, we propose a simple, efficient and distributed routing scheme based on the logical network abridgement (LNA), which is used to measure the underlying path diversity and intrinsic network resiliency to congestion, failures and attacks. It works well in dynamic and realistic environment. Simulation results are given, which show that the strategy based LNA helps achieve the desired system performance under the dynamically changing network conditions.","PeriodicalId":291800,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Electrical Engineering","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133794966","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 new inverter combines some desirable features of two and three-level inverters. The proposed open-leg switching strategy intentionally opens one of the three inverter-legs per-time, in a pre-planned sequence. Thus, the number of allowed states becomes 64 compared to 27 originally proposed by other modulation strategies. For a wye-connected load operating at low modulation index (M<0.5 p.u.), the output phase-voltage becomes a seven-level, 12-step waveform, instead of the 6-step one. Thus, tie total harmonic distortion is highly reduced. Three new conduction-modes are presented, each verifies a reduced common-mode-voltage time-variation (dv/dt), low third harmonic content, and reduced switching frequency harmonics. For higher modulation indexes, a 4th conduction mode is presented, eliminating the low frequency harmonics in the neutral-point current, consequently reducing the dc-link capacitors sizes, and cost. Analytical models, computer simulation results, and experimental verification are presented.","PeriodicalId":291800,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Electrical Engineering","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116032416","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}

In order to converge to the optimal beamspace weights this beamspace beamformer relies on a single feedback bit from the mobile user. Here the ingenious idea is that the feedback bit indicates which of the two normalized perturbed beamspace weights of the base station array delivers more power to the mobile. Utilizing this feedback, our algorithm at the base station updates the complex beam space weights of the transmit beamformer. It converges to the optimum beam space weights for a static channel, which is confirmed by simulations.","PeriodicalId":291800,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Electrical Engineering","volume":"24 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116315100","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}

This paper presents a complete and novel method to indirectly detect the rotor position at standstill and also at low speeds in switched reluctance motor. The method utilizes current phase variation technique in conjunction with the use of resonant scheme. A circuit consists of an external resistance R, motor phase inductance, L (thetas), and an external capacitance, C is formed and fed by a sinusoidal voltage having the same resonant frequency as the circuit. The current flowing through the resistor has the same frequency as the input voltage but can have different phase shift when compared to the input voltage due to die variation of phase inductance, L(thetas) which is directly proportional to rotor position. The produced resistor voltage waveform is then compared to the input sinusoidal voltage waveform in order to obtain a pulse width proportional to the position of the rotor. The width of the pulse is determined accordance to the phase inductance which is directly proportional to the rotor position. Finally, the paper presents the results obtained which demonstrates the feasibility and practicability of the method and outlines the advantages of this method.","PeriodicalId":291800,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Electrical Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129854672","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}

Combining the unique features of an SRM with simple and efficient power converter that is uses, a superior motor drive system emerges which may be preferable for many applications compared to other AC or DC motor drive systems. although a number of converters have emerged over the years for SRM drives, but every single driver has its own advantages and drawbacks and there has always been a trade-off between gaining some of the advantages and losing some when a new drivers is offered. In this paper we present a new driver for switched reluctance motor. The driver features zero-current switching. It means all the switching operations are done when the phase current crosses the zero level, therefore it reduces the overall power loss in the switching process. Also provides faster rate of rise and fall of current which helps the motor to operate at higher speeds when the resonance phenomenon is employed.
