One crucial issue when using bio-inspired algorithms to on-line tune the control system (adaptive controller tuning) is the computational time. In this work, an Asynchronous Adaptive Controller Tuning (AACT) approach is proposed to reduce the frequent activation of the tuning process, and hence, the computational cost could be reduced. This approach is based on a proposed event function, which determines the update time instant of the control parameters through the Differential Evolution algorithm. Comparative results with a Synchronous Adaptive Controller Tuning (SACT) approach are included in the study case of the speed regulation of the DC motor under the effects of uncertainties in the load. The SACT approach periodically updates the controller parameter at each sampling time. The comparative analysis indicates that the proposed AACT significantly reduces the controller parameter update without considerably increase the regulation error.","PeriodicalId":355781,"journal":{"name":"2020 7th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)","volume":"155 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121246814","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 this framework, this paper aims to propose an innovative service that can improve the experience of electric vehicle users by providing customized information to reduce the range anxiety risk before starting the trip. In particular, an Information Technology (IT) service based on cooperative virtual sensors (VSs) is designed to predict the charge demand by an electric vehicle, driven by a specific user, to accomplish a predefined trip. To this goal, three virtual sensors are designed as software components each one implementing an algorithm to perform a specific task. It is shown how the cooperation of the three VSs is necessary to achieve the final service objective that is to provide customized information to help the user in preparing the EV for the trip. In addition, the effectiveness of the proposed service is demonstrated through a use case implemented by the developed IT application prototype.","PeriodicalId":355781,"journal":{"name":"2020 7th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127543982","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}

An instance of the problem is defined in a complete bipartite graph of S and C vertices. The goal of the problem is to decompose the initial graph into k-clusters, where each cluster is a complete bipartite subgraph. Since the problem is NP hard, any exact solver, like Cplex, is often not sufficient to achieve solutions with relatively hight quality. Thus, we propose a first alternative solution procedure for tackling large-scale instances. The designed method can be viewed as a special variant of the rounding search-based algorithm and it can be applied for solving several complex optimization problems. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on a set of benchmark instances related to the k-clustering minimum completion problem, where its achieved results are compared to the best results available in the literature.","PeriodicalId":355781,"journal":{"name":"2020 7th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133533446","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 this article, we tackle the productivity problem by presenting the Empathic Flower Companion (EFC) that will be using the expression of emotions to help the human through their working day. It will be monitoring their time and at the same time analysing the websites they will be surfing. The concept proposed will reduce the time wasted on unproductive websites.
