I present a data-driven model for isotropic bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) based on acquired reflectance data. Instead of using analytic reflectance models, each BRDF is represented as a dense set of measurements. This representation allows interpolation and extrapolation in the space of acquired BRDFs to create new BRDFs. Each acquired BRDF is treated as a single high-dimensional vector taken from the space of all possible BRDFs. Both linear (subspace) and non-linear (manifold) dimensionality reduction tools are applied in an effort to discover a lower-dimensional representation that characterizes the acquired BRDFs. To complete the model, users are provided with the means for defining perceptually meaningful parametrizations that allow them to navigate in the reduced-dimension BRDF space. On the low-dimensional manifold, movement along these directions produces novel, but valid, BRDFs. By analyzing a large collection of reflectance data, I also derive two novel reflectance sampling procedures that require fewer total measurements than standard uniform sampling approaches. Using densely sampled measurements the general surface reflectance function is analyzed to determine the local signal variation at each point in the function's domain. Wavelet analysis is used to derive a common basis for all of the acquired reflectance functions, as well as a non-uniform sampling pattern that corresponds to all non-zero wavelet coefficients. Second, I show that the reflectance of an arbitrary material can be represented as a linear combination of the surface reflectance functions. Furthermore, this analysis specifies a reduced set of sampling points that permits the robust estimation of the coefficients of this linear combination.
(cont.) These procedures dramatically shorten the acquisition time for isotropic reflectance measurements.

Full textMer och mer digital information görs tillgänglig på olika sätt, t.ex. via öppna data-initiativ, Sakernas internet och API:er. Med en ökande teknikanvändning så skapas även ett intresse för att använda denna data i olika sammanhang, både privat och professionellt. Att bygga interaktiva applikationer som adresserar dessa intressen är en utmaning då det kräver avancerade ingenjörskunskaper, vilket man vanligtvis endast hittar hos professionella programmerare. Samtidigt byggs allt fler interaktiva applikationer utanför företagsmiljöer, i mer opportunistiska sammanhang. Detta kan till exempel vara kunskapsarbetare som använder sig av s.k. anveckling (eng. end-user development) för att lösa en uppgift, eller kompisar som träffas en helg för att hålla ett hackaton med hopp om att bli nästa framgångsrika startup-företag. Den här avhandlingen fokuserar på hur prototypverktyg kan utformas för att stödja utveckling av interaktiva applikationer i sådana opportunistiska sammanhang, som utnyttjar den ökande mängden av tillgänglig data. Målet med arbetet som presenteras i den här avhandlingen har varit att förstå utmaningarna som det innebär att använda data i prototyparbete och att identifiera viktiga kvalitéer för de verktyg som ska kunna hantera detta. För att uppnå detta mål har verktyg för deklarativ programmering utforskats med ett fokus kring vilken data och interaktion en applikationen ska erbjuda snarare än hur den ska implementeras. Arbetet som presenteras i den här avhandlingen har genomförts som en iterativ process, med en startpunkt i en utforskning av modellbaserad gränssnittsutveckling, vilket sedan följdes av observationer av prototyparbete i praktiken genom en serie hackathon och en iterativ design av Endev, som är ett prototypverktyg för att skapa datadrivna webbapplikationer. Formativa utvärderingar av Endev har utförts med programmerare och interaktionsdesigners. De viktigaste resultaten av den här avhandlingen är de utmaningar som har identifierats kring hur man skapar prototyper och de kvalitéer som krävs av prototypverktyg som ska adressera dessa utmaningar. De identifierade kvalitéerna som sänker trösklarna för att inkludera data i prototyper är: deklarativt prototyparbete, välbekanta och installationsfria miljöer, och supportverktyg. Kvalitéer som höjer taket för vad som kan göras i en prototyp är: stöd för olika typer av data och för avancerad “look and feel”.

Full textCTEIP has launched the integrated Network Enhanced Telemetry (iNET) project to foster advances in networking and telemetry technology to meet emerging needs of major test programs. In the past these programs have been constrained by vendor proprietary equipment configuration utilities that force a significant learning curve on the part of instrumentation personnel to understand hardware idiosyncrasies and require significant human interaction and manipulation of data to be exchanged between different components of the end-to-end test system. This paper describes an ongoing effort to develop a measurement-centric data model of airborne data acquisition systems. The motivation for developing such a model is to facilitate hardware and software interoperability and to alleviate the need for vendor-specific knowledge on the part of the instrumentation engineer. This goal is driven by requirements derived from scenarios collected by the iNET program. This approach also holds the promise of decreased human interaction with and manipulation of data to be exchanged between system components.

In many realistic applications, obtaining an accurate approximation to a given problem can require a tremendous number of degrees of freedom. Solving these large systems of equations can take days or even weeks on standard computational platforms. Thus, lower-dimensional models, i.e., reduced order models (ROMs), are often used instead. The ROMs are computationally efficient and accurate when the underlying system has dominant and recurrent spatial structures. Our contribution to reduced order modeling is adding a data-driven correction term, which carries important information and yields better ROM approximations. This dissertation's theoretical and numerical results show that the new ROM equipped with a closure term yields more accurate approximations than the standard ROM.

Full textDegradation is an unavoidable phenomenon that affects engineering components and systems, and which may lead to their failures with potentially catastrophic consequences depending on the application. The motivation of this Thesis is trying to model, analyze and predict failures with prognostic methods that can enable a predictive management of asset maintenance. This would allow decision makers to improve maintenance planning, thus increasing system availability and safety by minimizing unexpected shutdowns. To this aim, research during the Thesis has been devoted to the tailoring and use of both model-based and data-driven approaches to treat the degradation processes that can lead to different failure modes in industrial components, making use of different information and data sources for performing predictions on the degradation evolution and estimating the Remaining Useful Life (RUL).The Ph.D. work has addressed two specific prognostic applications: model-based prognostics for fatigue crack growth prediction and data-driven prognostics for multi-step ahead predictions of time series data of Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) components.Model-based prognostics relies on the choice of the adopted Physics-of-Failure (PoF) models. However, each degradation model is appropriate only to certain degradation process under certain operating conditions, which are often not precisely known. To generalize this, ensembles of multiple degradation models have been embedded in the model-based prognostic method in order to take advantage of the different accuracies of the models specific to different degradations and conditions. The main contributions of the proposed ensemble of models-based prognostic approaches are the integration of filtering approaches, including recursive Bayesian filtering and Particle Filtering (PF), and novel weighted ensemble strategies considering the accuracies of the individual models in the ensemble at the previous time steps of prediction. The proposed methods have been validated by case studies of fatigue crack growth simulated with time-varying operating conditions.As for multi-step ahead prediction, it remains a difficult task of Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) because prediction uncertainty tends to increase with the time horizon of the prediction. Large prediction uncertainty has limited the development of multi-step ahead prognostics in applications. To address the problem, novel multi-step ahead prediction models based on Long Short- Term Memory (LSTM), a deep neural network developed for dealing with the long-term dependencies in the time series data have been developed in this Thesis. For realistic practical applications, the proposed methods also address the additional issues of anomaly detection, automatic hyperparameter optimization and prediction uncertainty quantification. Practical case studies have been considered, concerning time series data collected from Steam Generators (SGs) and Reactor Coolant Pumps (RCPs) of NPPs

Nowadays, the behavior simulation of deformable objects plays important roles in several fields such as computer graphics, computer aided design, computer aided surgery And robotics. The two main categories of deformable models are: based on continuum mechanics, like Finite Element Model (FEM) or Isogeometric Analysis (IGA); and using discrete representations, as a Mass - Spring Model (MSM). FEM methods are known for their high computational cost and precision, while MSM methods, although simple and affordable for real-time applications, are di cult to parameterize. There is no general physically based or systematic method in the literature to determine the mesh topology or MSM parameters from a known material. Therefore, in this thesis, we proposea methodology to parametrize the MSM based on continuous models with focus on the simulation of deformable objects in real-time for application in virtual environments. We developed two data-driven approaches to the parametrization of the MSM by using FEM and IGA models as reference of derivation with higher order elements. Based on experimental results, the precision achieved by these new methodologies is higher than other approaches in literature. In particular, our proposal achieves excellent results in the parametrization of the MSM with higher order elements which does not occur with other methodologies
Atualmente, a simula¸c˜ao de objetos deform´aveis desempenha papel importante em v´arios campos ligados `a Ciˆencia da Computa¸c˜ao, como a computa¸c˜ao gr´afica, projeto assistido por computador, cirurgias assistidas por computador e rob´otica. Nesse contexto, a simula¸c˜ao de objetos deform´aveis com acur´acia e em tempo-real ´e uma tarefa extremamente dificil para as aplica¸c˜oes que requerem simula¸c˜oes mecˆanicas interativas como s˜ao os casos dos ambientes virtuais, simuladores cir´urgicos e jogos. Podemos dividir as abordagens que d˜ao suporte ao tratamento de modelos deform´aveis em dois grandes grupos: baseados em mecˆanica do cont´ınuo, como M´etodo de Elementos Finitos (FEM - Finite Element Method) ou An´alise Isogeom´etrica (IGA - Isogeometric Analysis); e usando representa¸c˜oes discretas, como modelo massa-mola (MSM - Mass Spring Model). M´etodos baseados na abordagem cont´ınua s˜ao conhecidos por seu alto custo computacional e acur´acia, enquanto que os m´etodos discretos, embora simples e adequados para simula¸c˜oes mecˆanicas interativas, s˜ao dif´ıceis de parametrizar. A falta de um m´etodo geral baseado em f´ısica ou sistem´atico para determinar a topologia de malha ou os parˆametros do MSM a partir de um material conhecido foi a principal motiva¸c˜ao desse trabalho, no sentido de gerar um modelo de baixo custo computacional, como o MSM, a partir de um modelo de alta precis˜ao como o FEM. Portanto, partindo da premissa de simplicidade e adequa¸c˜ao do MSM para simula¸c˜oes mecˆanicas interativas, nesta tese propomos uma metodologia para parametrizar o MSM baseada em modelos cont´ınuos. Desenvolvemos duas abordagens orientadas `a dados (data-driven) para a parametriza¸c˜ao do MSM usando modelos FEM e IGA, este ´ultimo como referˆencia de deriva¸c˜ao com elementos de ordem superior. Com base nos resultados experimentais, a precis˜ao alcan¸cada por estas novas metodologias ´e mais elevada do que a de outros trabalhos similiares na literatura. Em particular, a nossa proposta alcan¸ca excelentes resultados na parametriza¸c˜ao do MSM com elementos de ordem superior

Full textThis thesis aims at proposing an end-to-end approach which allows the automation of the process of model transformations for the development of data warehousing components. The main idea is to reduce as much as possible the intervention of human experts by using once again the traces of transformations produced on similar projects. The goal is to use supervised learning techniques to handle concept definitions with the same expressive level as manipulated data. The nature of the manipulated data leads us to choose relational languages for the description of examples and hypothesises. These languages have the advantage of being expressive by giving the possibility to express relationships between the manipulated objects, but they have the major disadvantage of not having algorithms allowing the application on large scales of industrial applications. To solve this problem, we have proposed an architecture that allows the perfect exploitation of the knowledge obtained from transformations' invariants between models and metamodels. This way of proceeding has highlighted the dependencies between the concepts to learn and has led us to propose a learning paradigm, called dependent-concept learning. Finally, this thesis presents various aspects that may inuence the next generation of data warehousing platforms. The latter suggests, in particular, an architecture for business intelligence-as-a-service based on the most recent and promising industrial standards and technologies

Full textSyfte - Upphandling är en integrerad del av supply chain och avgörande för tillverkningens framgång. Många organisationer har redan börjat digitalisera sina tillverkningsprocesser med hjälp av Industry 4.0-teknologier och försöker därför förstå hur detta skulle påverka upphandlingsfunktionen. Målet med studien är att konceptualisera en upphandling av 4.0-modellen för en verkligt datadriven upphandling. Två forskningsfrågor föreslogs för att ta itu med modellen från digital kapacitet och hållbarhet. Design / metod / tillvägagångssätt - Denna studie baseras på en systematisk litteraturstudie. En metod för att granska litteraturen och den aktuella forskningen för att föreslå konceptualisering av en upphandlings 4.0-modell. Resultat - Resultaten från litteraturstudien bidrog till utvecklingen av en föreslagen upphandlings 4.0-modell baserad på Industry 4.0-teknologier, applikationer, matematiska algoritmer och automatisering av upphandlingsprocesser. Modellen bidrar till forskningsområdet genom att ta itu med klyftan i litteraturen om bristen på visualisering och konceptualisering av upphandling 4.0. Originalitet / värde - Den nuvarande litteraturen diskuterar fördelarna, implementeringen och effekten av individer eller en grupp av industri 4.0-teknologier och applikationer på upphandling men saknar visualisering av transformationsprocessen för att kombinera teknologierna för att skapa en verklig datadriven upphandling. Denna forskning stöder skapandet av kunskap inom detta område. Praktisk implementering / chefsimplikationer - Den föreslagna modellen kan stödja chefer och digitala konsulter att ha praktisk kunskap ur ett akademiskt perspektiv inom området upphandling 4.0. Kunskapen från litteraturen och den systematiska litteraturstudien används för att skapa kunskap om inköp 4.0 applikationer och analyser med beaktande av vikten av synlighet, transparens, optimering och automatisering av upphandlingsfunktionen och dess hållbarhet.

Full textI samband med det ökande intresset för att implementera så kallade smart cities, har användningen av utbredda trådlösa sensor nätverk (WSN) blivit ett intresseområde. Bland applikationens största utmaningar, finns det fortfarande förbättringar med avseende på energiförbrukning och servicekvalité. Därmed så inriktar sig detta projekt på att utforska en mängd möjliga lösningar för att förbättra energieffektiviteten för dataaggregation inom WSN. Detta gjordes genom att strategiskt justera positionen av den mottagande basstationen samt paketfrekvensen för varje nod. Dessutom påbyggdes low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) protokollet med WSN:ets laddningstillstånd. För detta examensarbete definierades ett WSN som ett två dimensionellt plan som innehåller sensor noder och en mobil basstation, d.v.s. en basstation som går att flytta. Efter rigorös analys av klustringsmetoder samt dynamiken av ett WSN, utvecklades två kontrollmetoder som bygger på olika kontrollstrategier. Dessa var en modelbaserad MPC kontroller och en datadriven reinforcement learning kontroller som implementerades för att förbättra energieffektiviteten i WSN. För att testa prestandan på dom två kontrollmetoderna, utvecklades en simulations platform baserat på Python, tillsamans med påbyggnaden av LEACH protokollet. Mängden data skickat per energienhet användes som index för att approximera kontrollprestandan. Simuleringsresultaten visar att den modellbaserade kontrollern kunde öka antalet skickade datapacket med 22% jämfört med när LEACH protokollet användes. Medans den datadrivna kontrollern hade en sämre prestanda jämfört med när enbart LEACH protokollet användes men den visade potential för WSN med en mindre storlek. Påbyggnaden av LEACH protokollet gav ingen tydlig ökning med avseende på energieffektiviteten p.g.a. en mängd avvikande resultat.

Full textMöten och presentationer är ofta sedda som ett produktivitetshinder på arbetsplatser runtom i världen på grund av deras monologiska natur. Genom att använda moderna tekniska lösningar såsom webbaserade Audience Response Systems (ARS) så kan möten och presentationer omvandlas till interaktiva moment där en publiks perspektiv, åsikter och svar kan uttryckas. Att visualisera en publiks svar och relatera frågespecifika partitionerade svar mellan varandra, genom visualiseringar, var denna rapports huvudämne. Projektet utfördes i samarbete med Mentimeter, skapare av ett webbaserat ARS och digitalt presentationsverktyg. Double Diamond-modellen användes för att undersöka och förankra design- och utvecklingsarbetet i projektet. För att guida utvecklingsarbetet, och få feedback på designförslag, genomfördes en fokusgrupp med fyra visualiserings- och designexperter som besatt kunskap om ARS. De framtagna prototyperna utvärderas genom den utökade Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) för att undersöka slutanvändares inställning och villighet att använda visualiseringarna. Totalt testade åtta slutanvändare de framtagna webbaserade prototyperna. Resultatet av användartesterna indikerade att båda visualiseringsprototyperna har potential att visualisera partitionerad data på nya sätt i ARS, men att en klustervisualisering var överlägsen från en utforskningssynpunkt. Resultaten innebär vidare att det finns ett värde i att presentera partitionerad data på sätt som möjliggör utforskning av publikens svar, och att publiken troligen kommer att anta en fullständig implementering av visualiseringarna förutsatt några extra funktioner och justeringar. Framtida forskning bör fokusera på att fullständigt implementera och testa visualiseringarna framför en faktiskt publik, samt undersöka andra samtida visualiseringsstrukturer och deras möjligheter att visualisera partitionerad ARS-data.

A material system obtained by applying a pattern of multiple materials has proven its adaptability to complex practical conditions. The layer by layer manufacturing process of additive manufacturing can allow for this type of design because of its control over where material can be deposited. This possibility then raises the question of how a multi-material system can be optimized in its design for a given application. In this research, we focus mainly on the problem of accurately predicting the response of the material when subjected to stimuli. Conventionally, simulations aided by finite element analysis (FEA) were relied upon for prediction, however it also presents many issues such as long run times and uncertainty in context-specific inputs of the simulation. We instead have adopted a framework using advanced statistical methodology able to combine both experimental and simulation data to significantly reduce run times as well as quantify the various uncertainties associated with running simulations.

Full textSimulation Based Engineering Science (SBES) has brought major improvements in optimization, control and inverse analysis, all leading to a deeper understanding in many processes occurring in the real world. These noticeable breakthroughs are present in a vast variety of sectors such as aeronautic or automotive industries, mobile telecommunications or healthcare among many other fields. Nevertheless, SBES is currently confronting several difficulties to provide accurate results in complex industrial problems. Apart from the high computational costs associated with industrial applications, the errors introduced by constitutive modeling become more and more important when dealing with new materials. Concurrently, an unceasingly growing interest in concepts such as Big-Data, Machine Learning or Data-Analytics has been experienced. Indeed, this interest is intrinsically motivated by an exhaustive development in both dataacquisition and data-storage systems. For instance, an aircraft may produce over 500 GB of data during a single flight. This panorama brings a perfect opportunity to the socalled Dynamic Data Driven Application Systems (DDDAS), whose main objective is to merge classical simulation algorithms with data coming from experimental measures in a dynamic way. Within this scenario, data and simulations would no longer be uncoupled but rather a symbiosis that is to be exploited would achieve milestones which were inconceivable until these days. Indeed, data will no longer be understood as a static calibration of a given constitutive model but rather the model will be corrected dynamically as soon as experimental data and simulations tend to diverge. Several numerical algorithms will be presented throughout this manuscript whose main objective is to strengthen the link between data and computational mechanics. The first part of the thesis is mainly focused on parameter identification, data-driven and data completion techniques. The second part is focused on Model Order Reduction (MOR) techniques, since they constitute a fundamental ally to achieve real time constraints arising from DDDAS framework

Full textThis thesis addresses a problem related to usage analysis in information retrieval systems. Indeed, we exploit the history of search queries as support of analysis to extract a profile model. The objective is to characterize the user and the data source that interact in a system to allow different types of comparison (user-to-user, source-to-source, user-to-source). According to the study we conducted on the work done on profile model, we concluded that the large majority of the contributions are strongly related to the applications within they are proposed. As a result, the proposed profile models are not reusable and suffer from several weaknesses. For instance, these models do not consider the data source, they lack of semantic mechanisms and they do not deal with scalability (in terms of complexity). Therefore, we propose a generic model of user and data source profiles. The characteristics of this model are the following. First, it is generic, being able to represent both the user and the data source. Second, it enables to construct the profiles in an implicit way based on histories of search queries. Third, it defines the profile as a set of topics of interest, each topic corresponding to a semantic cluster of keywords extracted by a specific clustering algorithm. Finally, the profile is represented according to the vector space model. The model is composed of several components organized in the form of a framework, in which we assessed the complexity of each component. The main components of the framework are: - a method for keyword queries disambiguation; - a method for semantically representing search query logs in the form of a taxonomy; - a clustering algorithm that allows fast and efficient identification of topics of interest as semantic clusters of keywords; - a method to identify user and data source profiles according to the generic model. This framework enables in particular to perform various tasks related to usage-based structuration of a distributed environment. As an example of application, the framework is used to the discovery of user communities, and the categorization of data sources. To validate the proposed framework, we conduct a series of experiments on real logs from the search engine AOL search, which demonstrate the efficiency of the disambiguation method in short queries, and show the relation between the quality based clustering and the structure based clustering

Då värdet för tunga fordon ofta består i hur mycket gods som transporteras uppstår ett incitament till att förebygga oplanerade stopp. Detta görs med fördel med hjälp av tillståndsbaserat underhåll. Denna avhandling undersöker användbarheten av den data-drivna metoden Consensus SelfOrganizing Models (COSMO) kontra en modellbaserad patentserie för att upptäcka läckage på luftsystem i tunga fordon. Metoderna ställs mot varandra med hjälp av Area Under Curve-värdet som kommer från Receiver Operating Characteristics-kurvor från beskrivande signaler. Detta gjordes genom att utvärdera tre kriterier. Dels hur hyperparametrar influerar COSMOmetoden för att avgöra en rimlig storlek på fordonsflottan, dels huruvida omgivningsförhållanden påverkar resultatet och slutligen till vilken grad metoden påverkas av att fordonsflottan inte är identisk. Slutsatsen är att COSMO-metoden med fördel kan användas sålänge antalet representationer överstiger 60 och att fordonen inom flottan är likvärdiga och har använts inom liknande omgivningsförhållanden. Om fordonsflottan är heterogen så föredras en fysisk modell av systemet då detta ger ett mer stabilt resultat jämfört med COSMO-metoden.

Full textIn many applications, no physical description of the plant is available and the control law has to be designed on the basis of input-output measurements only. Two control strategies can then be considered : one can either identify a model of the plant and then use any kind of model-based technique (indirect methods) to obtain a control law, or use a data-driven strategy that directly compute the controller from the experimental data (direct methods). This work focuses on data-driven techniques : the objective of this thesis is to propose a new data-driven control technique based on frequency-domain data collected from the system to be controlled. After recalling some basics in feedback control, an overview of data-driven control is given. Then, the proposed method is introduced. It is a model reference technique : the identification problem is moved from the plant to the controller. In this work, two identification techniques are used to that purpose: the Loewner framework and the subspace approach. In addition, a technique is proposed to estimate the system’s instabilities. It allows to determine the performance limitations and to select achievable specifications. Finally, a stability condition, already known in data-driven control, is used during the reduction of the controller to ensure closed-loop stability. Along this thesis, the different steps of the method are progressively applied on two numercial examples. In the end, the proposed technique is applied on two irrational systems described by partial differential equations : a continuous crystallizer and an open-channel for hydroelectricity generation. These two examples illustrate the type of applications for which using a data-driven control method is indicated

In this thesis we present a data-driven neuromuscular model of human walking and its application to prosthesis control. The model is novel in that it leverages tendon elasticity to more accurately predict the metabolic consumption of walking than conventional models. Paired with a reflex-based neural drive the model has been applied in the control of a robotic ankle-foot prosthesis, producing speed adaptive behavior. Current neuromuscular models significantly overestimate the metabolic demands of walking. We believe this is because they do not adequately consider the role of elasticity; specifically the parameters that govern the force-length relations of tendons in these models are typically taken from published values determined from cadaver studies. To investigate this issue we first collected kinematic, kinetic, electromyographic (EMG), and metabolic data from five subjects walking at six different speeds. The kinematic and kinetic data were used to estimate muscle lengths, muscle moment arms, and joint moments while the EMG data were used to estimate muscle activations. For each subject we performed a kinematically clamped optimization, varying the parameters that govern the force-length curve of each tendon while simultaneously seeking to minimize metabolic cost and maximize agreement with the observed joint moments. We found a family of parameter sets that excel at both objectives, providing agreement with both the collected kinetic and metabolic data. This identification allows us to accurately predict the metabolic cost of walking as well as the force and state of individual muscles, lending insight into the roles and control objectives of different muscles throughout the gait cycle. This optimized muscle-tendon morphology was then applied with an optimized linear reflex architecture in the control of a powered ankle-foot prosthesis. Specifically, the model was fed the robot's angle and state and used to command output torque. Clinical trials were conducted that demonstrated speed adaptive behavior; commanded net work was seen to increase with walking speed. This result supports both the efficacy of the modeling approach and its potential utility in controlling life-like prosthetic limbs.

Full textUm die steigende Komplexität von Softwaresystemen beherrschen zu können, werden heutzutage unterschiedlichste Techniken gemeinsam eingesetzt. Beispiele sind, Design Pattern, Serviceorientierte Architekturen, Softwareentwicklungsprozesse oder modellgetriebene Entwicklung (MDE). Ziel dabei ist die Erhöhung der Produktivität, so dass Entwicklungsdauer und Qualität stabil bleiben können. Während hoch entwickelte Softwareentwicklungsprozesse heute schon standardmäßig genutzt werden, fangen Firmen gerade erst an MDE einzusetzen. Jedoch zeigen Studien, dass der erhoffte Erfolg von MDE nicht jedes Mal eintritt. So scheint es, dass noch kein ausreichendes Verständnis dafür existiert, inwiefern MDE auch Nachteile für die Produktivität bergen kann. Zusätzlich ist bei der Kombination von unterschiedlichen Techniken damit zu rechnen, dass die erreichten Effekte sich gegenseitig negieren anstatt sich zu ergänzen. Hier entsteht die Frage wie MDE und andere Techniken, wie Softwareentwicklungsprozesse, zusammenwirken. Beide Aspekte, der direkte Einfluss auf Produktivität und die Wechselwirkung mit anderen Techniken, müssen aber verstanden werden um den Risiken für den Produktivitätseinfluss von MDE zu identifizieren. Außerdem, muss auch die Generalisierbarkeit dieser Aspekte untersucht werden. Das betrifft die Fragen, ob der Produktivitätseinfluss bei jedem Einsatz von MDE gleich ist und ob der Produktivitätseinfluss über die Zeit stabil bleibt. Beide Fragen sind entscheidend, will man geeignete Risikobehandlung ermöglichen oder künftige Studien zum Erfolg von MDE planen. Diese Dissertation widmet sich der genannten Fragen. Dafür wird zuerst der Begriff MDE Setting'' eingeführt um eine differenzierte Betrachtung von MDE-Verwendungen zu ermöglichen. Ein MDE Setting ist dabei der technische Aufbau, inklusive manueller und automatische Aktivitäten, Artefakten, Sprachen und Werkzeugen. Welche Produktivitätseinflüsse von MDE Settings möglich sind, wird in der Dissertation mit Fokus auf Änderbarkeit und die Wechselwirkung mit Softwareentwicklungsprozessen betrachtet. Dafür wird einerseits eine Taxonomie von Changeability Concerns'' (potentiell betroffene Aspekte von Änderbarkeit) vorgestellt. Zusätzlich, werden drei MDE Traits'' (Charakteristika von MDE Settings die unterschiedlich ausgeprägt sein können) identifiziert. Es wird untersucht welche Ausprägungen dieser MDE Traits Einfluss auf Softwareentwicklungsprozesse haben können. Um die Erfassung und Bewertung dieser Einflüsse zu ermöglichen wird die Software Manufaktur Modell Sprache eingeführt. Diese Prozessmodellierungssprache ermöglicht eine Beschreibung, der Veränderungen von Artefaktbeziehungen während der Anwendung von Aktivitäten (z.B. Codegenerierung). Weiter werden auf Basis dieser Modelle, Analysetechniken eingeführt. Diese Analysetechniken erlauben es Risiken für bestimmte Changeability Concerns aufzudecken sowie die Ausprägung von MDE Traits zu erfassen (und damit den Einfluss auf Softwareentwicklungsprozesse). Um die Generalisierbarkeit der Ergebnisse zu studieren, wurden im Rahmen der Arbeit mehrere MDE Settings aus der Praxis sowie teilweise deren Evolutionshistorien erhoben. Daran wird gezeigt, dass MDE Settings sich in einem breiten Spektrum von Einflüssen auf Änderbarkeit und Prozesse bewegen. So ist es weder selten, dass ein MDE Setting neutral für Prozesse ist, noch, dass ein MDE Setting Einschränkungen für einen Prozess impliziert. Ähnlich breit gestreut ist der Einfluss auf die Änderbarkeit.Zusätzlich, wird diskutiert, inwiefern unterschiedliche Evolutionstypen den Einfluss eines MDE Settings auf Änderbarkeit und Prozesse verändern können. Diese Diskussion führt zur Identifikation der strukturellen Evolution'', die sich stark auf die genannten Charakteristika eines MDE Settings auswirken kann. Mithilfe der erfassten MDE Settings, wird gezeigt, dass strukturelle Evolution in der Praxis üblich ist. Schließlich, werden Beispiele aufgedeckt bei denen strukturelle Evolutionsschritte tatsächlich zu einer Änderung der Charakteristika des betreffenden MDE Settings geführt haben. Einerseits bestärkt die ermittelte Vielfalt den Bedarf nach Analysetechniken, wie sie in dieser Dissertation eingeführt werden. Zum Anderen erscheint es nun, dass Evolution zumindest zum Teil die unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen von MDE Settings erklärt. Zusammenfassend wird studiert wie MDE Settings und deren Evolution in der Praxis ausgeprägt sind. Als Ergebnis, werden Techniken zur Identifikation von Risiken für Produktivitätseinflüsse bereitgestellt um den Einsatz von MDE Settings zu unterstützen.

Full textAiming at improving the reliability and durability of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) systems and promote the commercialization of fuel cell technologies, this thesis work is dedicated to the fault diagnosis study for PEMFC systems. Data-driven fault diagnosis is the main focus in this thesis. As a main branch of data-driven fault diagnosis, the methods based on pattern classification techniques are firstly studied. Taking individual fuel cell voltages as original diagnosis variables, several representative methodologies are investigated and compared from the perspective of online implementation.Specific to the defects of conventional classification based diagnosis methods, a novel diagnosis strategy is proposed. A new classifier named Sphere-Shaped Multi-class Support Vector Machine (SSM-SVM) and modified diagnostic rules are utilized to realize the novel fault recognition. While an incremental learning method is extended to achieve the online adaptation.Apart from the classification based diagnosis approach, a so-called partial model-based data-driven approach is introduced to handle PEMFC diagnosis in dynamic processes. With the aid of a subspace identification method (SIM), the model-based residual generation is designed directly from the normal and dynamic operating data. Then, fault detection and isolation are further realized by evaluating the generated residuals.The proposed diagnosis strategies have been verified using the experimental data which cover a set of representative faults and different PEMFC stacks. The preliminary online implementation results with an embedded system are also supplied

We have analytically discovered the existence of two global epidemic invasion thresholds in a directed meta-population network model of the United States cattle industry. The first threshold describes the outbreak of disease first within the core of the livestock system while the second threshold describes the invasion of the epidemic into a second class of locations where the disease would pose a risk for contamination of meat production. Both thresholds have been verified through extensive numerical simulations. We have further derived the relationship between the pair of thresholds and discovered a unique dependence on the network topology through the fractional compositions and the in-degree distributions of the transit and sink nodes. We then addressed a major challenge for epidemiologists and their efforts to model disease outbreaks in cattle. There is a critical shortfall in the availability of large-scale livestock movement data for the United States. We meet this challenge by developing a method to estimate cattle movement parameters from publicly available data. Across 10 Central States of the US, we formulated a large, convex optimization problem to predict the cattle movement parameters which, having minimal assumptions, provide the best fit to the US Department of Agriculture's Census database and follow constraints defined by scientists and cattle experts. Our estimated parameters can produce distributions of cattle shipments by head which compare well with shipment distributions also provided by the US Department of Agriculture. This dissertation concludes with a brief incorporation of the analytic models and the parameter estimation. We approximated the critical movement rates defined by the global invasion thresholds and compared them with the average estimated cattle movement rates to find a significant opportunity for epidemics to spread through US cattle populations.
