This paper proposes a heuristic method for the sensor selection problem that uses a state vector fusion approach as a data fusion method. We explain the heuristic to estimate a stationary target position. Given a first sensor with specified accuracy and by using genetic algorithm, the heuristic selects second sensor such that the fusion of two sensor measurements would yield an optimal estimation in a target localization scenario. Optimality in our method means that a trade-off between estimation error and cost of sensory system should be created. The heuristic also investigates the importance of proportion between the range and bearing measurement accuracy of selected sensor. Monte Carlo Simulation results for a target position estimation scenario showed that the error in heuristic is less than the estimate error where sensors are used alone for estimation, while considering the trade-off between cost and accuracy.

The optimal use of fuel energy and water in a fire tube boiler is important in achieving economical system operation, precise control system design required to achieve high speed of response with no overshot. Two artificial intelligence techniques, fuzzy control (FLC) and genetic-fuzzy control (GFLC) applied to control both of the water/steam temperature and water level control loops of boiler. The parameters of the FLC are optimized to locating the optimal solutions to meet the required performance objectives using a genetic algorithm. The parameters subject to optimization are the width of the membership functions and scaling factors. The performance of the fire tube boiler that fitted with GFLC has reliable dynamic performance as compared with the system fitted with FLC.

This paper deals with the stabilization of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models. Using non-quadratic Lyapunov function, new sufficient stabilization criteria with PDC controller are established in terms of Linear Matrix Inequality. Finally, a stabilization condition for uncertain system is given.

With the rapid growth in the number of mobile devices like cellular phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and laptop computers, the demand for “anywhere, anytime, and any way” high-speed Internet access is becoming a primary concern in our lives. Mobile IP has been designed with the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to serve the needs of growing population of mobile computer users who wish to connect to the internet and maintain communication as they move from place to place. Mobile IP enables a wireless network node to move freely from one point of connection to the Internet to another, without disrupting the end-to-end connectivity. The goals of this paper are to define the fundamentals of mobile IPV4, elaborate the problems of mobile IPV4, give a brief overview of some of the literature that deals with the fundamentals of mobile IPV6, explain the problems of mobile IPV6, compare Mobile IPv6 and Mobile IPv4, discuss the advantages of mobile IP, and review the application of mobile IP for vehicular networks.

In this paper we present a new approach for linear Volterra integral equations that is based on optimal control theory. Some optimal control problems corresponding Volterra integral equation be introduced which we solve these problems by discretization methods and linear programming approaches. Finally, some examples are given to show the efficiency of approach.

Carry free arithmetic using higher radix number system such as Redundant Binary Signed Digit can be used to meet the demand for computers operating at much higher speeds. The computation speed can also be increased by using the suitable design of adder and multiplier circuits. Fast RBSD adder cells suggested by Neelam Sharma in 2006 using universal logic are modified in the proposed design by reducing the number of gates. Due to reduction in gate count, number of gate levels and hence the circuit complexity is also reduced. As multiplication is repetitive addition, the implementation time of the multiplier circuit will also be reduced to a great extent by using modified design of adder cell to add the partial products. These partial products are added using pipelined units to reduce implementation time further. Thus with the use of proposed RBSD adder, other arithmetic operations such as subtraction, division, square root etc. can be performed much faster. It is concluded that efficiency of the proposed RBSD adder and multiplier is improved as compared to the techniques conventionally used in high speed machines. Thus the proposed modified RBSD adder cell using universal gates can be used to design fast ALU with many additional advantages.

Reduction of computational complexity of digital hardware has drawn the special attention of researchers in recent past. Proper emphasis is needed in this regard towards the settlement of computationally efficient as well as functionally competent design of digital systems. In this communication, we have made one novel attempt for designing multiplier-free Finite duration Impulse Response (FIR) digital filter using one robust evolutionary optimization technique, called Differential Evolution (DE). The search has been directed through two sequentially opposite paths which include quantization and optimization as fundamental operations. Besides performing a detailed comparative analysis between these two proposed approaches; the performance evaluation of the designed filter with other existing discrete coefficient FIR models has also been carried out. Finally, the optimum search method for realizing the required set of specifications has been suggested.
