It examines the methodologies being used to make distance learning an exciting experience and as effective as the traditional classroom type education. Furthermore, the paper shows how commonly used smart classroom settings can be extended to a model where a single local class can simultaneously cater to the needs of multiple remote classrooms and presents a workable solution to some of the technical challenges of the model from a practical utilization aspect. It also shows how some of the inherent challenges of the existing smart classroom systems are being managed and identifies physical and practical limitations of multiple classroom architectures for a successful remote lecturing environment.","PeriodicalId":429889,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Region 10 and the Third international Conference on Industrial and Information Systems","volume":"171 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133453854","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}

It enhances the energy-efficient and reliable operation of power system. Artificial neural networks are employed for nonlinear short term load forecasting owing to their powerful nonlinear mapping capabilities. These are generally trained through back-propagation, genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and artificial immune system (AIS). All these algorithms have specific benefits in terms of accuracy, speed of convergence and historical data requirement for training. In this paper a hybrid AIS is proposed, which is a combination of back-propagation with AIS to get faster convergence, lesser historical data requirement for training with a little compromise in accuracy.","PeriodicalId":429889,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Region 10 and the Third international Conference on Industrial and Information Systems","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132113896","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 an experimental evaluation of the performance of MRAS speed observer when working at very low and zero speed. Results are obtained when applied to an indirect vector control induction motor drive in both open loop and sensorless modes of operation. Since the focus here is on operation around and at zero speed under both no-load and loading operating conditions, this represents a useful contribution to the literature. Results show the deterioration in the performance of the estimation scheme at very low and zero speed especially when load is applied.","PeriodicalId":429889,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Region 10 and the Third international Conference on Industrial and Information Systems","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133799521","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}

We discuss new technology choices that have emerged in the past few years and how these would impact network design in the near future. In particular, the colloquium discusses optical metro, access and long haul technologies including WDM and Carrier Ethernet. The technology choices in the optical and data layer have a strong impact on Future Internet design.

Closed-loop converter performance of this converter is simulated and compared with the theoretical predictions.

These advancements demand use of image processing for measurements on the images obtained from different scans. However, accurate measurement of blood flow is usually very difficult inspite of its important role in clinical diagnosis. Hence for better diagnosis by doctors, systems offering fast and accurate measurements are need of the day. Many techniques developed by researchers are available today for measuring such offline data. In this paper a new system that uses image processing techniques to estimate cardiac parameters on a real time basis is discussed. Importantly, this technique offers high resolution measurements and importantly doesn't require catheterization, hence plays an important role in examining parameters like blood flow rate, oxygen need, size of organs and tumors and diameters of vessels. Discussion of the algorithms for estimating the above parameters is made and results for two of the parameters viz. (1) estimation of ratio of left atrial diameter (LA) to aortic diameter (AO) and (2) oxygen content in these vessels is shown. Succinctly, the proposed system gives accurate online data of different cardiac parameters by the use of image processing techniques.","PeriodicalId":429889,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Region 10 and the Third international Conference on Industrial and Information Systems","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115812055","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}
