Heterogeneous network embedding is used to analyze HINs by embedding network information in low-dimensional node representations. However, existing heterogeneous embedding methods either ignore the implicit topological relationships between distant nodes or neglect nodes features and meta-paths information disparities, which reflects that extracting HIN embeddings from a single view may lead to incomplete information extraction. In order to make the information extraction more complete, we propose a dual-view fusion heterogeneous information network embedding method (DFHE) for recommendation tasks. Specifically, it extracts effective features from HINs from both the remote topology view and the semantic aggregation view: the remote topology view uses a meta-graph-guided random walk to capture the topological relationships between remote nodes and learns embeddings through a graph convolutional network (GCN) encoder, while the semantic aggregation view uses an attention mechanism to learn the importance of different meta-paths, node relationships, and aggregates the semantic information of each meta-path. Experimental results on two real-world network datasets demonstrate an enhancement in recommendation task performance under the application of DFHE, compared to the baseline. This improvement persists even when some meta-paths are deleted, thereby verifying the methods effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10562237","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141424680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed simulation strategy, referred to as the connectivity strategy, enables the integration of a physical communication network into Smart Grids simulations. The connectivity strategy comprises three steps: selection of Smart Grids functionality, data transmission over a TCP/IP network, and connectivity strategy evaluation. Each step is described to ensure transparency and reproducibility in Smart Grid simulations, addressing the limitations associated with the lack of specifications when a communication network is implemented into power systems simulations. Furthermore, a Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) approach is presented for developing and evaluating the proposed connectivity strategy using the HIL technique. Through this approach, the strategy is validated by establishing the communication between simulation and embedded systems via a physical Ethernet network. In a case study, the use of the connectivity strategy to simulate a distribution system automation (DA) functionality is demonstrated. This simulation allows the evaluation of protection schemes in a Smart Grid using MATLAB/Simulink and a Texas Instruments development kit. Results show that the proposed connectivity strategy could estimate the communication delays for different simulation scenarios.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10562238","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141422497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The algorithm is based on the Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy system and optimal relation methods and is called TS-MPPT. The fuzzy system computes the converter duty cycle using an input that combines the error and its rate of change. The error is the difference between the reference current computed from the optimal relation and the rectifier current. The methods used in the algorithm resulted in a five-rule TS fuzzy system, which contributed to a fast algorithm in terms of its total execution time (TET): 89.12 s on the F28069M board. The TET attained enabled a synchronized operation of the algorithm with the converter switching frequency. Additionally, the results based on the processor-in-the-loop simulation approach show that the TS-MPPT algorithm achieves an effective MPP tracking process with an energy conversion efficiency of 99.43% and behaves properly when evaluated over the typical WT power curve. Furthermore, the effectiveness and performance of the proposed algorithm are demonstrated against others using the proportional-integral controller, the Mamdani fuzzy method, and a TS fuzzy model from the literature.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10562259","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141424679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The optical receiver usually employs light sensors such as photodiodes, image sensors, photoresistors or solar panel. In the last decades, VLC technology has explored the use of solar panels as data receivers, since they offer the service of power generation, in addition to, a larger surface area to capture the light beam. In this paper, we present the performance evaluation of a VLC system based on solar panel and automatic gain control (AGC) with application in access control systems. Three experiments are proposed to evaluate the uses of the solar panel as information receiver in VLC systems: bandwidth (BW) estimation, VLC system performance and panel viewing angle variation. As a result, we were able to determine a BW of 10 kHz and 190 kHz considering the panel without AGC and with AGC. In the context of digital modulation, a RS-232 module of an Arduino UNO development system was used in order to execute the technique of intensity modulation and direct detection IM/DD. The NRZ line code of the serial interface was used to modulate the electric current of the LED with a maximum symbol rate of 38400 baud with a data effectiveness of 91%. Furthermore, we found that AGC improves the dynamic range of the solar panel's viewing angle and the performance of the VLC system.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10500761","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140555843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this way, the probability of experiencing Single Cell Upsets or Multiple Cell Upsets have risen. Error Correction Codes (ECC) are broadly employed to protect memory systems. Though, the inclusion of an ECC in a computer system adds, in each memory word, some extra bits used to detect and/or correct errors. In addition, encoding and decoding circuitries must be added, introducing overheads in area, delay, and power consumption. Usually, when an ECC-based fault tolerance mechanism is designed, its fault tolerance properties cannot be modified. However, in some applications, current memory systems can suffer a variable fault rate during their operation. Thus, it seems very interesting that this mechanism would be able to adapt to these variable fault conditions. This work proposes an Adaptive Fault-Tolerant mechanism based on ECC. This mechanism can adapt to different fault conditions, being able to correct and/or detect single and multiple bits in error. The Adaptive Fault-Tolerant mechanism proposed uses a unique encoder, that is, it is not necessary to re-encode the data to change the error coverage.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10500715","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140555878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
