Based on the relative stability of the stems in RNA molecules, an approximating algorithm is presented to predict RNA pseudoknotted structure, the algorithm takes O(n3) time and O(n) space, the algorithm outperforms other known algorithms in predicting accuracy. This algorithm not only reduces the time complexity to O(n3), but also widens the maximum length of the sequence. The preliminary experimental test on the RNA subsequences in PseudoBase confirm that the algorithm has good sensitivity and specificity, and are among the most reasonable in the literature.","PeriodicalId":351518,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Automation and Logistics (ICAL)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127109162","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}

A bidding strategy based on Cournot model, which takes into account the stochastic behavior of wind power and the imbalance cost, is proposed. In the Cournot game, individual player's bidding problem is formulated as a expected profit maximization model. One kind of iterative algorithm is used to obtain Nash equilibrium strategies for producers. Impact of stochastic behavior of wind power on equilibrium outputs and price is also discussed. Numerical results show that the optimal strategy is highly relevant to the imbalance prices, and also to the forecasting errors. The imbalance penalty tends to drive the bids closer to the expected generation for the next period or day.","PeriodicalId":351518,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Automation and Logistics (ICAL)","volume":"66 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114003832","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 improved BP algorithm has some advantages in fast convergence speed and short running time. It is applied to objects recognition and has a favorable result.

Indeed, it is one of the essential bricks to build an autonomous robot that can evolve in an unknown environment. Several methods and algorithms have been developed to solve this problem, using various techniques and sensors. TinySLAM is a SLAM algorithm based on the principle of IML (Incremental Maximum Likelihood). It uses data from a laser sensor to estimate the most probable position of the robot in a 2D map. We have worked extensively on improving the computation speed of this estimate. Results obtained allowed us to run two loops of position estimation in parallel, with different characteristics. The algorithm has a better chance to find a good estimate of the position. In previous work, we presented a first version of this algorithm. This paper talks about the advances made in improving the tinySLAM algorithm, until version 1.1.","PeriodicalId":351518,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Automation and Logistics (ICAL)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130696821","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}
