As knowledge is to be applied by humans, provisions must be taken for its correct application and implementation. Science, as knowledge generator, has the capacity to establish how to apply that knowledge and, to determine how the people who implement it, must proceed. Then, science has the ability to determine how to prepare the professionals who will apply and implement that knowledge. Human well-being is the Social Responsibility of Science and a key strategy to attain it, is to estalish how to educate the professionals.","PeriodicalId":359559,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE ANDESCON","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116074753","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}

As it is well-known, variables involved in the system are strongly correlated each other, fact that is reflected at the influence of the set of manipulated variables on the output ones. This paper has paid attention on the evolution of the particle-size variable by analyzing its behavior when it is subject to disturbances during the mineral processing. Thus, a methodology in order to search the effect of implementing functions of random nature whose existence might be attained to the interaction among variables as normally occurs in a balls mill grinding circuit dynamics, is provided. In this short report, some simulations of the particle-size evolution are exposed by emphasizing the impact of those random functions which is supposed coexists together to the ones which traditionally are used.","PeriodicalId":359559,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE ANDESCON","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131558945","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}

Then, we propose a coordination mechanism applied to intelligent surveillance methods. The approach aims to increase the time in which agents are able to ensure intruder's tracking. The coordination is based on information from sensors of each agent, which are evaluated to make a suitable decision to guarantee tracking. Several types of heterogeneous agents are used in this approach: indoor mobile agents, outdoor mobile agents and static agents. With different groups of agents, we compare the intelligent mechanism with a random mechanism to determine the overall system performance.","PeriodicalId":359559,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE ANDESCON","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115316960","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}
